Via the Post’s Breaking News blog, a YouTube video from 2006 has turned up of alleged Pentagon shooter John Patrick Bedell, in which he lays out a online software product he invented called “Information Currency.” With the use of crude stick figure diagrams, he describes a vague process that will “create a financial market for information.”

Authorities are also reportedly looking at anti-government internet postings made by Bedell. This blog, last updated in November of 2006, appears to have been authored by the alleged shooter, under the handle “Patrick.” It contains links to the “Information Currency” web site, along with writings in which he talks about the existing and potential possibilities of “criminal rule” of the United States government. One excerpt:

The blatant violations of the Constitution’s limitations on the economic role of the government, accomplished through many subtle usurpations over many decades, are perhaps even more pernicious than, and are certainly a key motivation for, the violent seizure of the United States government.
