My hope is to use the creativity of markets and advanced technology to transcend the destructive regimes that have fastened themselves upon the world. I have dreamed for an number of years of creating v:production econosystems, which I hope to apply to the creation of v:security service econosystems using new and economic mechanisms and information technology.
I have a bachelor's degree in physics from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and studied biochemistry at San Jose State University. I've studied electrical engineering with the goal of creating microsystems for molecular analysis. You can see a proposal to use aluminum anodization as an adsorption method for DNA molecules on CMOS chips at v:DNA_integrated_circuit/proposal_import_2007 (which originates from an unsuccessful DARPA proposal to create a "microMIRV" interoperable with standard firearms ammunition), and a proposal to use xenon difluoride to create a picoliter-scale computer-controlled device for sorting biomolecules (available at v:Capillary_electrode_arra
y/proposal_import_2007), including DNA and protein molecules. My goals include the discovery of a protein sequence for the diamondase enzyme, enabling the creation of macroscale diamond structures, and the creation of self-assembled macrosystems with CMOS DNA-integrated circuits. The scale of these and other projects have led me to develop financial instruments representing information as a tool to manage large projects that are very knowledge-intensive.
I am determined to see that justice is served in the death of Colonel James Sabow, as a step toward establishing the truth of events such as the September 11 demolitions and institutions such as the coup regime of 1963 that maintains itself in power through the global drug trade, financial corruption, and murder, among other crimes. My work to develop information currency is an effort to create a framework for information management that uses financial markets to create the economic signals (prices) that will effect complex human actions in the real world based on specified information. My desire for justice led me to violate what I think is one of the most unjust laws, cannabis prohibition, by growing 16 cannabis plants on my balcony in Irvine, CA from March 2006 to June 2006...

I apologize for the graphic content of some of my contributions, but detailed evidence is sometimes necessary to address important matters. I am very disturbed by the fact that Col. Sabow's civilian superiors and their successors have been able to continue their narco-mercantilism. For historical comparison, I might resemble the odd German still complaining about the murders of the Night of the Long Knives in 1938(?). Of course, Wikipedia didn't exist in 1938!

September 11 'conspiracy' theorist opens fire at Pentagon 05 Mar 2010 A 9/11 conspiracy theorist walked up to two policemen at the Pentagon yesterday, pulled out a handgun and opened fire at point-blank range. The man, named as John Patrick Bedell, 36, injured the police officers near a busy commuter rail station on the site but was shot and died from his injuries hours later. The Pentagon police chief, Richard Keevill, said that Bedell was apparently trying to gain entry to the giant US Defence Department headquarters but instead of presenting a Pentagon pass, which is required to enter the building, he pulled out a gun.
Pentagon gunman blamed US government for September 11 attacks 05 Mar 2010 The man who shot two police officers at the Pentagon yesterday was an obsessive follower of the 9/11 truth movement who believed that the Twin Towers were demolished in a US government conspiracy, it has emerged. Police said that John Patrick Bedell, 36, had acted alone and without links to terrorist networks. However online postings apparently by him indicate that he was a passionate 'conspiracy' theorist and opponent of the US Government and armed forces.
Texas trooper tried to get mental-health hold on Bedell for speeding on freeway 05 Mar 2010 The parents of the man shot to death after pulling a gun on Pentagon police guards Thursday had reported him missing in January and, concerned about his mental health, they asked local authorities to hold him. The parents of John Patrick Bedell, 36, of Hollister, Calif., filed a missing-person report on Jan. 4, said San Benito County, Calif., Sheriff Curtis Hill. Hill said the report stemmed from a call the family received from a Texas state trooper on Jan. 3. The trooper said he had stopped their son for speeding on a freeway heading west outside Amarillo, Hill said. The trooper used Bedell's cell phone to call Bedell's parents, apparently trying to determine whether there was sufficient cause for a mental-health hold on Bedell. "There's an inference in (the report) that he was concerned about his mental health," Hill said. It's unclear what Bedell's mother told the trooper. Apparently finding no cause to hold Bedell, the trooper let him go, Hill said.
Suspected gunman in Pentagon shooting acted alone, officials say 05 Mar 2010 The California man who calmly opened fire on two police officers at an entrance to the Pentagon Thursday appears to have acted alone and was not connected to any terrorist plot, Pentagon police chief Richard S.
