I'm wondering if the chat style atmosphere of the other forum is why he posted those things. I've been reading that he was prone to out bursts in the real world. As wild and wonky ATS can be some times, almost everyone strives for some sort of decorum.
I don't know about metal conditions, but could it be that he retreated into his own mind? Brewing on these things that he considered mind control. Is that possible? That someone seems out of control, then seems calmer and more focused and is only getting worse, holding it in?

May regret jumping into this hornet's nest but I just wanted to inquire about the accused's transportation:
The very last paragraph on the second page of this news article states:
“He would call me at 2 a.m. and asked, ‘Are you hanging out in front of my house, stalking me?’ He started to get really paranoid, and said he did not want to see us anymore and did not trust us,” Mr. Gutierrez said, referring to himself and another friend. “He thought we were plotting to kill him or steal his car.”
NYT Article: Interview w/ Loughner Friend Gutierrez
STEAL HIS CAR???
I thought he took a taxi because the supposed person of interest ended up being the taxi driver.
Just looking for clarification. Not saying it would be impossible for a car owner to take a taxi. IMO I am fairly certain with the available data that we may be dealing with a disturbed mind and looking for reason without direct access to all data is maddening at best.
Thoughts? or just go ahead and hit me with the wrath of your bombast...edit on 1/12/2011 by EyeHeartBigfoot because: punctuation

It's interesting that those postings are so much more personal: discussing relationships and firings and things of that nature.
When you look at the time frame of those postings (April - June 2010), they predate the vast majority of his ATS postings, which occured in the span of a couple weeks in July.
I'm wondering if his mental state worsened, causing him to become more focused on these ideas of his (currency, language, etc.). I see from his ATS profile that he last visited the site in September. He was banned, but I'm guessing the admins did that recently, possibly to prevent someone from hacking the account and deleting posts or posting further. I assume Loughner wasn't banned due to anything he posted, because he was able to visited the site in September, months after his last ATS post.

Regarding this Jared Loughner case, it appears those in powerreally are going after so-called conspiracy theorists. Same thing is happening over here in Glasgow, I've been going through the same problems ever since I got arrested for verbally abusing my ex-wife. Next day in the police station I happened to mention '11.11' to the two arresting officers. They did not say anything but the look they gave each other told me me it was important. I guess I had unwittingly attempted to join the masons...something I now regret. Since that incident, about two years ago, I've been isolated, no one speaks to me, except coughing at me (no joke). I've attempted multiple suicide attempts, I have not used anything stronger than hash or grass, however it was since moving back to Glasgow that these problems started. To put it bluntly, Police=drugs=money=intimidation=conspiracy of silence for fear of the same happening to them. Guess I'm the scapegoat, sounds like the same thing happened to Jared Loughner, the PTB fished for someone on these sites, ostracised him, and used him to justify the old 'conspiracy nutjob' link...I should put up a post detailing everything that brought about my circumstances over the past couple of decades, why it happened to me, why friends, work collegues & famliy keep to themselves, why I remained here, and who was involved. Sorry, haven't posted in a long time, I can assure you that in Glasgow, money, drugs, & gangs have evolved to a fine art here. It makes sense, why pull a whole load of influential people over the public coals, when you can just as easily 'Lee-Harvey oswald' just the one?

On another thought, there are several posts on common currency and NWO on ATS. Do you think he worshipped what he read on ATS and went over the edge in his thought process? We do have several threads on ATS which are creative and well researched topics going into the depths of the politics and the current situation of US and global economy ? All the information, discussions and conspiracy theories (2012, Mayan Calender, NWO, Global Currenty) might have served as fuel for his fire which was obviously not on the right track.
The time frame seems to suggest that he was more into the Gaming sites and postings before spending more time on ATS for a good part of 2010 before snapping off last week.
