You tag line says a lot in view of these videos.
Jones spends too much time exulting at the "sun and the trees and the sky and the wonders of the universe" and in his own "wisdom" and not enough at what is before him.
What he did here is an extreme discourtesy to the folks.
Like I said, he puts out some good, or at least thought inducing/interesting stuff, but he puts out about as much misinformation, and the reasons for that are not completely clear.
It's to discredit the VALID information he puts out.
I started out to write an article about an ominous attack on Second Amendment rights which took place here in Austin recently, but on viewing videos of the subsequent protest at city hall as part of my research I got sidetracked with more overwhelming evidence that Alex Jones is a narcissistic douchebag and really no friend of liberty, facts which I have observed before but which just become clearer with each new incident.
Earnest and passionate local advocates for individual liberty led by John Bush of Texans for Accountable Government organized a peaceful protest rally on Monday afternoon in opposition to the Austin Police Department's involvement with the BATF in attempts to illegally shut down private gun sales at gun shows in Austin. They had a good turnout and a schedule of speakers including Darwin Bedecker, who was the most recent target of this persecution campaign, and notable local liberty advocates like Jerri Lynn Ward and Catherine Bleish. It was organized on short notice, but it was a well-planned and effective rally presenting a legitimate grievance to the city government with a permit and everything.
Then, in the middle of it all, Alex Jones shows up with a bullhorn and what can only be described as a gang of thugs, and proceeds to disrupt the entire rally, shouting over the speakers, shutting down the program, and ultimately driving off most of the participants with his obnoxious antics. Not only that, but Jones was rude to everyone, including those who tried to invite him to become a program participant, called Catherine Bleish a "cointelpro" agent provocateur and ranted on and on about the NWO and various issues completely unrelated to the purpose of the protest, while surrounded by his personal videographers and thuglike followers.
Apparently Jones is incapable of allowing a protest to go on where he isn't the center of attention, and in order to get that attention he is willing to undermine the effectiveness of the protest, offend potential sympathizers and generally behave like a penis with legs. It's not surprising that by the end of the event people were accusing Jones of working for the statists to discredit legitimate protesters, and a lot of people came away from the event cured of any prior attraction to Jones' particular brand of anti-government paranoia. As I've said before, Jones is his own worst enemy and he lost a lot of supporters Monday because of his boorish behavior and an attitude which was widely described as "divisive."
Jones clearly has Narcissistic Personality Disorder and has all the earmarks of a little Hitler in the making and that type doesn't like to be left on the sidelines. He has the "rule or ruin" attitude where if he's not in charge and doesn't have all eyes focused on him then he will cause chaos and destruction and to hell with everyone else and the important issue which they may have been protesting. For Jones the cause of liberty and the truth are secondary. His goal is self-promotion and probably personal profit as well. Jones can't just cover a story or add his voice to protesting an issue, because he has to be the story and he has to define the protest or it is of no value to him.

I think this barging in actually suggests something else - despite Jones the Liberty Movement is growing in directions not under the NWO control umbrella. As Jones is marginalized he loses effectiveness as an agent, and as the movement grows without an agent at the helm it becomes less controllable. Conclusion: Jone's bosses are getting a little concerned over the loss of control.

Alex and his handlers apparently overlooked the fact that YouTube is WAY more popular than his website, and that he doesn't control what goes on there.

Well, they control YouToob as well, but they are kind of trapped on it as the more censorship they use to try to control the message the more obvious the censorship becomes. Most people are still blithely unaware of the sheer massive volume of the control messages going out and being used. It is on a scale that, because of their programming, boggles them into disbelief and thus not seeing it. I know when I first got interested in the subject that I was becoming aware of the control, but it has taken me the better part of ten years to really get how massive and pervasive it is at all levels of mass communications.
Thing is about YouTube is that either they knew well in advance that they'd lose control of it, and set it up just in order to identify "troublemakers", or were totally blind to what it could evolve to.
I think the former is more probable than the latter.

Ditto. Contrary to the image that is attempted to be portrayed of them, the Fu Manchu evil genius image, they actually have made a lot of mistakes but by controlling the media if it is never reported it never happened. The Internet itself was the first real big mistake in information control. When it was still a closed network, ARPANET, the conversation was kept controlled as all of the users were government employees one way or another and were protective of their "Rice Bowl". Therefore I think they had a false image, and estimation, of what the Internet would become, and didn't think it would become as widespread as it has. In the early years it was just geeks because you had to know at least some UNIX to access much. With the advent of Browsers though it opened the door to people who really know little about computers. Thus what was expected to be a vehicle of commerce and control went out of control and thus the subsequent attempts to set up the controlled Internet II etc., ....
Um, OI, by former I meant the original premise, not the 2nd one.
Since people need to sign up with email addresses on YouTube, and it IS in fact a government affiliated site (via Google ownership), I'd say they are more than likely VERY curious as to who is posting what, and it provides them with names and addresses.
I hope it's more of what you say, pure stupidity on their part, but I wouldn't be so sure...
My bad. Actually, when I think about it, we could both be right. Google is of course CIA (which is why I don't use it and don't trust the search results to be complete even when I use Scroogle).
