Miller said in 1988 he broke the mathematics of language and proved that language is a linear equation that he said he can use to prove that government documents such as the Constitution and the Magna Carta as well as currency are invalid. His website espousing his views has been around for 11 years.

Olbermann had a guest who mentioned this wacko

The comments section is interesting.

1. That site was something else.

Complete gibberish. "Shaka when the walls fell" unintelligible.

7. Looks like Schizo

While not the same thing:

If he has schizophrenia the same underlying processes that yield clanging might be causing this if = then nonsense, that has no real relation to reality.

He certainly won't be short of material to mount an insanity defense.

5. the guy has a "fruit salid" mind

what a site! Yikes. But, I can see from this, that the shooter was definitely into this. lots of this = that

6. How we react to this sort of oddity/eccentricity

tells us a lot about how we protect 'us' and shun the 'wacko.'

A personality that has a features like this is schizoid personality, one of the other features of schizoid personality is social isolation. Suggested courses of development of this disorder imply that social anxiety and a context of poor social interactions--being bullied and mocked by peers because of odd and eccentric speech/behavior--contribute to its development.

I'm not suggesting a diagnosis here, rather I'm suggesting that introspection of our own reactions to this person's website probably give us an idea of how peers and social pressure are directed at the odd and eccentric among us.
