Alex Jones Interrupts Peaceful Pro-Gun Rally

On Monday, January 25, a rally was held in Austin, Texas by Texans for Accountable Governments APD. Designed to be a peaceful protest in favor of the 2nd Amendment and against the Austin police force’s cooperation with the attempt to illegally shut down private gun sales at guns shows in Austin, the rally featured a small group of gathered protesters, predetermined speakers, and some media coverage.
Enter radio show host/alternative media activist Alex Jones.
An unapologetic Alex Jones confronted at Pro-Gun Rally in Austin, Tx.
Known for his loud bull horn and effectively flamboyant ability to capture attention, Jones did not disappoint. As speakers passionately and peacefully stated their case for the 2nd Amendment, Jones appeared on the scene with bullhorn in hand and camera crew in toe. He entered the crowd shouting over the speaker and disrupting the rally.
In a series of three videos, you’ll see the events as they transpired. I’ll not speculate on the motives of Mr. Jones. But what I want you to consider is whether or not his tactics are effective. We’ll discuss further after the vids.
Now, some may say that Alex Jones managed to draw more attention to the rally with his loud outburst and flashy entourage. While others… admittedly myself included… consider this extremely bad form. Frankly, I believe Jones comes off as quite an ass in these videos. Many of the people at the rally were fans of his… people who came to the cause partly because of his activism. They admired him, and he trampled all over what they were attempting to accomplish. Generally speaking, I try to remain neutral on this site, but this is a case where I cannot keep my opinion to myself. What makes matters worse is that I too turn to Infowars.com and Prisonplanet.com (sites hosted by Jones) for much of my alternative news.
The icing on the cake for me is in the last video. Here he is confronted by Liberty Restoration Projects Exec Dir. Catherine Bleish. She takes him to task for his actions, and he insults her and dismisses her. He even goes so far as to tell her “You gotta hard on for me”. Not nice.
What do you think. Has Alex Jones taken things too far? Has he become less of a voice of reason and more of a blowhard? Does he harm or help the cause of those in the “Liberty Movement”? Share your thoughts.
Part of the problem?
In Jones’ “Martial Law-9/11: Rise of the Police State” I recall government cogitators taking photos and spreading disinformation. Its eerie how similar Alex is to those he professes to expose. He is the type of person who tells you there is a problem, shows you the building where the problem is, and opens the front door only to hurry you out the exit before ever really seeing whats going on. The people Alex Jones protects clearly indicates where his loyalties lie. What he so desperately wants to keep in the dark is a simple truth about this world that has existed since before the time of Christ. Omnes viae Romam ducunt.
“All roads lead to Rome”. It is interesting how often this particular sentiment arises with regard to Mr. Jones and others of his ilk. I’ve heard people present the theory that Alex is cointel or that he has other nefarious motives for his actions. I do not necessarily endorse them, but I also will not discount them. It is certainly food for thought. Thanks for sharing your insights. Natalina ~ Site Admin.
Dammit…I can’t see the vids for some reason. Hey Nat, can you send me a link…I’d like to comment on this post, but would like to see the vids first.
Thanks. And welcome back darlin’.

I figured you might have something to say about this post
Thanks for the links chica.
{after watching, takes deep breath}
That was a bit odd. The guy that was initially interupted seemed slightly honored at the begining that Alex was there and said he was a speaker. But later, one of the other orgaizers said Jones denied a request to join them and showed up anyway with his people in tow…as seen in the first vid.
The second vid was a little confusing.
The third vid…yeah…Alex was a dick. He seemed a bit apolgetic in the begining but turned asshole and went back to ranting.
So…that brings me back to a comment on your previous AJ post…some people say he’s a disinfo agent. It almost seemed that way. He didn’t look as compassionate as usual…he looked more like he was just ranting for the sake of ranting and to disrupt the rally.
I think I’m about as confused as you Nat.
Surely you must have seen the youtube vids. If not search “alex jones” “gun rally”. Use quotations like I did. Then you will see the videos of what they are talking about.
Now then, let’s do a time line.
1. Boedeker calls Alex and says he’s ready to skip town and shut down. Friends and buyers told him to contact Alex as a last resort before shutting down. I heard the broadcast live, will vouch for it, if someone has the orig post it! This was an open caller segment and Boedeker just “Called in”. It stopped the show, and Alex offered full support if he could validate the claims. This was the origin of the “story break”.
2. TAG (Texans for Accountable Government) and LOLA “organized” a rally for Boedeker.
3. The 30 or so person “rally” started
4. 3 minutes into the “rally” Alex walks up with a bullhorn. Alex turns away from the crowd and bullhorns the media across the street, opposite the TAG rally.
5. Alex’s Bullhorn overpowers the TAG speaker, and TAG members become irritated, and immediately proclaim Alex as “provocatuer”
6. TAG invites Alex up to speak, but Alex doesn’t hear.
7. You have to see the video, at this point it’s people looking, waiting to see what’ going to happen next. Not “Chaos”.
8. Alex takes advantage of the silence and starts bullhorning. TAG becomes furious, and you can hear Catherine Bleish (upcoming wannabe libertarian radio personality) saying, “what are we going to do about this? How are we going to handle this?”.
OK. I gotta stop here. Alex Jones with a bullhorn. Thats like… bread and butter? peanutbutter and jam? What were they so shocked at? What? They’ve never seen Alex before? That’s his trademark, WTF?
9. Catherine Bleish takes her camera, enters Alex’s personal space, and takes a “passive aggressive” stance. Watch the video. Does Alex walk up to her, or does she approach, take a position, and passively aggravate? That’s when Alex yells, “Get out of my face.” Who ha, TAG minions go nuts, and now “Alex is not on the team, he’s not on the team!” It’s like watching children at recess.
10. Catherine Bleish approaches Alex while he is talking to one of the speakers, and hounds him about telling her she is inexperienced. She goes on and on about how “Alex woke her up to MIAC” etc, she wanted to “give him a speaking spot”Huh. Then you hear a TAG member say to Alex “all I’m saying is I wish we could have organized”. I wonder what the rest of that sentence was? “This rally a little better”? Yeah, that’s what Alex was saying. These are local radio people with their own self promotional interests at stake. LOLA is self admitted “trying to make a living in the info business”.
11.The more Catherine talks and talks, Alex says, “Are you with the democratic party? If not you were certainly trained by them” The TAG minions shout “diversion, oh that is a cointell technique”. GET THIS HERE IS WHERE ALEX’S INTUITION DESTROYS CATHERINE BLEISH: This has to make you laugh…as the TAG minions shot “guilty! Alex is guilty” Catherine says “I did used to work for them and I did wake up”. Alex felt her vibe and called her point blank. Catherine continues to say she woke up because of Alex…
So Alex showed up to a little rally, got really loud, and the organizers who are all local radio hosts, got mad when Alex didn’t play by TAG “rules”. The rally was very poorly organized, and when Alex showed up, they lost the limelight. here’s some vid with subtitles so you can tell what’s being said.:

by the way I’ve noticed the white power and militia crowds eating this up. please don’t say i’m cointel pro or an Aj minion, Im just a dude who happens to have lived in austin for over 30 years.
“DisinfoWars”: the Militia of Montana Reborn.
Kurt Nimmo & Alex Jones accuse me of being a government stooge. What I think of disinformation artists like them is unprintable.
