If you guessed the psychotic Loughner your would be wrong; the speaker is Obama. Public officials do not like criticism and yet it is critical in a Republic to allow political discourse to flourish. This is an old problem tackled early on in American history. The Alien and Sedition Acts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_and_Sedition_Acts), specifically, the Sedition Act made it a crime to publish "false, scandalous, and malicious writing" against the government or its officials. It was enacted July 14, 1798, with an expiration date of March 3, 1801 (the day before Adams' presidential term was to end). Federalists at all levels, however, were turned out of power, and over the following years Congress repeatedly apologized for, or voted recompense to victims of, the enforcement of the Alien and Sedition Acts. Thomas Jefferson, who won the 1800 election, pardoned all of those who had been convicted for crimes under the Alien Enemies Act and the Sedition Act.
Now that the Tuscon tragedy occurred we are all asking why. One hint of the political necessity for something drastic following the "shellacking" in November was suggested by a Democratic strategist.
The Democratic strategist Mark Penn noted on the liberal Chris Matthews show that it took the Oklahoma City tragedy in order for President Clinton to “reconnect” with the American people. He then stated that Obama needed a “similar event” to achieve that reconnection following his party’s November 2010 midterm losses.
The DHS seems to be trying to portray Loughner as a right-winger.
strong suspicion is being directed at AmRen / American Renaissance. Suspect is possibly linked to this group. (through videos posted on his myspace and YouTube account.). The group's ideology is anti government, anti immigration, anti ZOG (Zionist Occupational Government), anti Semitic. Gabrielle Gifford [sic] is the first Jewish female elected to such a high position in the US government. She was also opposite this group's ideology when it came to immigration debate.
DHS Links Jared Loughner To American Renaissance
There is nothing in Loughner's videos that would suggest American Renaissance. Napolitano is inventing a connection out of thin air. The American Renaissance group has explicitly denied any contact whatsoever with Loughner and does not appear to advocate violence, and is not anti-Semitic. They state: "If this memo is typical of the research done by the Department of Homeland Security, our country is in serious danger."
The leader of the group may have a point; both the leader and the shooter share the first name. Perhaps that was enough of a connection for the DHS.

No one should associate the psychotic Loughner with either the right or the left yet his friends thought of him as a "Left-Wing Pothead" apparently this evidence is not worth repeating by the DHS. He frightened people by his behavior in college as well.
Loughner’s leftwing high school friend, Caitie Parker, remembers him as a “political radical”: “He was left wing,” she wrote; “As I knew him he was left wing, quite liberal.”
The left-wing blog the Daily Kos deleted a reference that the Congresswoman is now dead to me.
FOX News has reported that the shooter’s favorite books are the Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf. Loughner is also reportedly an atheist. There’s an anti-bible quote in one of his videos: “Every United States Military recruit at MEPS in Phoenix is receiving one mini bible before the tests. Jared Loughner is a United States Military recruit at MEPS in Phoenix. Therefore, Jared Loughner is receiving one mini bible before the tests.”
I would hope that the nation does not jump to conclusions, since the Left is all to quickly blaming Palin, Beck, Limbaugh and the usual suspects. Palin has deleted the metaphorical reference to the Congresswoman as a "target." Indeed, the Congresswoman is just about right on the center as possible. She is a former Republican but one who is a "blue-dog" Democrat who has voted against her party, and Pelosi as minority Speaker. Unwittingly, the Congresswoman is just about the most divisive figure possibly. All varieties of the political spectrum can focus their hate against their opponents with an attempted assassination such as this.
It is unprecedented that in an event like this the Federal level of investigation would be involved so quickly. Yet, FBI Director Robert Mueller was ordered to the location by Obama, and the FBI is ready to take over the investigation. The usual procedure is that various law enforcement agencies would cooperate and after some time the FBI or federal agencies would move in. In this instance the FBI response has been instantaneous and from the beginning the Capitol Police are also conducting an investigation. Why agencies 2900 miles away would take such a important role so early on is unusual and a mystery. Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik stated clearly that Arizona was "Mecca" of hate groups and he lamented the vitriolic speech emanating from radio and television. Is he the local contact that is cooperating with this heightened suspicion of free speech and gun rights?
8 January 2011, Dupnik
On the afternoon of the 9th Dupnik released a statement that the second person of interest is a taxi driver and has now cleared him of any connection to the shooting.
On the morning of the 9th Dupnik already dismissed the involvement of the second person of interest before locating them.
Dupnik starts at 6:01 to discuss the second person of interest.
"We are still searching for the person of interest but we are more satisfied in our minds that this person may not have been involved in this incident at all. But we still need to talk to him to verify that."
Dupnik also is the one downplaying the importance of the so-called undiscovered second suspect alluded to by Mueller. Why? They haven't even found him yet the Sheriff is disregarding any potential gathering of intelligence and data? Why not wait until he finds out investigative data before jumping to any conclusion. At 1:57 is the search for a "laughing" subject male in a white t-shirt?
Oro Valley Arizona Police radio broadcast Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords Shooting during 1018 - 1038 (referring to the morning of the shootings).
Mueller and police said they were looking for a second suspect, a white male approximately 40-50 years old with dark hair. On the morning of January 9, they released a security-camera photo in which he appears.
"I don't have that information yet" [evidence that Loughner is connected to radio/TV rhetoric). How does he know he is about the receive information?
In an interview today with Megyn Kelly, Kelly asks:
If there was anything the sheriff had discovered in his investigation that suggested that Loughner was “listening to radio or watching television and was in any way inspired by what he heard or saw?
Dupnik said that he did not yet have any such evidence, but that the investigation had only just begun.
Then Kelly presses: is it the right time for a sheriff to be “injecting speculative opinion” about the case? He evoked Free Speech. She said:
With respect, sheriff, I know that you’re a Democrat and you ran for office as a Democrat, and I just want to press you on that a little. I’m sure some of our viewers are asking themselves why you are putting a political spin on this when they may asking you the sheriff to stay focused on the facts, on uncovering the facts,” she said.
Dupnik repeated the partisan rhetoric. Kelly said but that is “just your opinion.”She asks if it should be up to a sheriff to “stir the pot on either the aisle.” Dupnik responded, “that’s for listeners to decide.”
Pima County Sheriff Dupnik opposes Arizona’s immigration law SB1070, and says it was a effort to deflect attention from Governor Jan Brewer and the Arizona’s lawmakers fiscal irresponsibility over the past two years. Dupnik supports former Governor Janet Napolitano, and has run for a Democratic office in the past.
He said Arizona doesn’t need the law, because Federal law already requires Border Patrol to arrest illegal aliens. If I were Hispanic, Dupnik said, “I would feel angry and humiliated.” In July 2010, when the controversy over SB1070 was raging, the sheriff stated.
The second person of interest is interesting historically since as has happened before the secondary individual turns out often to be of greater importance. A parallel may be found in Sirhan Sirhan, the accused assassin of Robert Kennedy. Although Sirhan was blamed as the lone individual behind the shooting, forensic evidence that emerged in 2008 confirmed that he did not fire the fatal shot. Sirhan may have been the so-called Manchurian candidate, ironically enough, Loughner was concerned about mind control on his YouTube postings.
The CIA’s use of mind control to create killers is a matter of historical record. MK-ULTRA was the code name for a covert, illegal CIA human research program, run by the Office of Scientific Intelligence that came to light in 1975 through investigations by the Church Committee, and by a presidential commission known as the Rockefeller Commission. 14-year CIA veteran Victor Marchetti insists that the program is ongoing and has not been abandoned.
My hunch yesterday is that there is something very odd about the proceedings based on the YouTube releases. He joined YouTube only in October; the same month he was suspended from the community college he attended. He posted his statements first, and then the "Hello" and the "Introduction" and his Internet activity began in November. Mueller announced today that he also bought a Glock 9MM in November. It is odd that a 22 year old only recently began an online presence, coupled with the acquisition of a weapon.
In late December, Attorney General Holder specifically noted the danger of homegrown terrorism. "The threat has changed from simply worrying about foreigners coming here, to worrying about people in the United States, American citizens -- raised here, born here, and who for whatever reason, have decided that they are going to become radicalized and take up arms against the nation in which they were born," Holder added.
CNN's version of the tragedy seemed to be focused on terrorism, against the right or at least a political angle, TV/radio commentators, and specifically Arizona. ABC focused on the domestic terrorism angle of the investigation as well. It is a huge concern of Federal officials the commentator noted. You bet, it might be the point that the lamestream media and the Federal government wishes to promote.
One of the strangest connections between Giffords and Loughner is that the Congresswoman subscribed to his YouTube channel.
Screen shot of Gifford's web page showing her subscription to Jared Lee Loughner's YouTube account: "Classitup10."
Also, while Loughner has been in custody after the shooting, his YouTube content is changing. Either someone at YouTube is switching things around or he has an accomplice.
But there is a larger and more important question of context to be asking in light of Tuscon. Why is the legislature suspending operations in light of the tragedy in Tucson?
In the one breath Boehner says they will not be deterred from their duties but in the same breath he states that legislative duties will be deferred for a week. Is this a false-flag operation? False flag operations are covert operations designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and can be used in peace-time. In 1962, Operation Northwoods for example was a false flag operation intended to whip up support for a campaign against Cuba. The operation was a series of false-flag operation proposals that originated within the United States government in 1962. The proposals called for Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) or other operatives to commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities and elsewhere. These acts of terrorism were to be blamed on Cuba in order to create public support for a war against that nation, which had recently become communist under Fidel Castro. One part of Operation Northwoods was to "develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington."
Boehner says normal House business this week is postponed to focus on any necessary actions in the shooting aftermath. and the Republican speaker didn't take any questions before leaving the township government building near his West Chester, Ohio, home. The most ominous statement is the idea that unspecified actions need to be taken. Didn't most politicians realize that public political figures could be a target of violence before Tuscon? I would like to hope that we do not have a Reichstag Fire scenario at play here.
