The Strange YouTube Channel of the Alleged Giffords Shooter

His favorite books include such dystopian classics such as "Animal Farm," "Brave New World," and "Fahrenheit 451," and he was interested in mind control and creating a new form of currency. These are just of a few of the online clues left behind by the man accused of shooting U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and more than a dozen others Saturday at a public event in Tuscon, Ariz.

A man identified as Jared Lee Loughner appears in a March 2010 photo. Law enforcement sources said Loughner is the suspect in Saturday's deadly shooting rampage in Arizona that killed a federal judge and left U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords gravely injured.

Jared Loughner, 22, was arrested immediately after the shooting, which left a federal judge, a 9-year-old girl and four other people dead. Police said later they were looking for a second person believed to be involved in the shooting.

For now, a YouTube channel under the name of Jared Lee Loughner provides a few scant hints into the suspect's mindset.

In the era of social media, mass murderers often leave behind political rants, farewell messages, and sometimes even advance warning, or at least indications of their plans. Loughner appears to have left a little bit of all three, if somewhat incoherently.

"If I'm the mind controller, then I control the belief and religion," the text in one video reads. The video, less than a minute long, contains a series of statements about mind control, belief and religion.

His YouTube videos, mostly text, dwell on mind control, currency, and the Constitution, but Loughner also kept a MySpace page, which according to The Arizona Republic included photos of himself, as well as a handgun perched atop a book on U.S. history. He also posted a message saying "Goodbye" early Saturday.

The MySpace page has since been taken down.
