I've always been agnostic on the subject of Alex Jones, for whatever reason I've never become a fan of talk radio. I've held my tongue until now because I know most posters here are both more sincere and thorough than I've ever been, for what it's worth. Keep up the faith though and all that, maybe I'll adopt some kierkegard in my tagline
or something
In 2007, the FBI reported on concern about white supremacists recruiting soldiers, saying "hundreds" of neo-Nazis were in the active military. But in April, a Department of Homeland Security report on extremism that reiterated much the same point was widely criticized by veterans groups and some conservative politicians as being unpatriotic, leading the Justice Department to retract the DHS report.
Critics acknowledge that extremism in the Army is a touchy political subject.
One of Kierkegaard's recurrent themes is the importance of subjectivity, which has to do with the way people relate themselves to (objective) truths. In Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments, he argues that "subjectivity is truth" and "truth is subjectivity." What he means by this is that most essentially, truth is not just a matter of discovering objective facts. While objective facts are important, there is a second and more crucial element of truth, which involves how one relates oneself to those matters of fact. Since how one acts is, from the ethical perspective, more important than any matter of fact, truth is to be found in subjectivity rather than objectivity.

If AJ is to salvage his reputation he'll have to take time off, acknowledge his misconduct and ask forgiveness. If he doesn't do this, I'll consider him to have moved to the other side.
That was the jist of the email I sent to him after I canceled my subscription to his site.

Without reading any of these comments, I think what we have here is cult personality that assumed that in Austin, he would be allowed to take the horn and run the show. Ego ruled that day. Ooooops, Alex.
Now, will my attitude change once I read the thread? Many of you are quite persuasive.
they invited him up to the front but he did not accept that invitation
Now, that is curious.
But, are we supposed to believe, as AJ contemplated going to the rally, that he thought he could get away with this behavior? He really is smarter than that. This is a fluke. So far, ego and bad timing.
that's why i don't believe he's an op or dirty as you said above. i really think it was ego. i think it was a photo op for him with local media and that he was obtaining footage to include in a future documentary, but as FormerLurker pointed out above, that personality flaw severely hurts his credibility, trustworthiness, and even makes him dangerous. the fallout and dissention in our 'patriot' community when something like this happens saddens me.

Thus his attack on Jeff Rense and getting Rense, who has a huge audience which was coming close to rivaling Alex's, and having him kicked off of Genesis
Suppose you were an enemy agent-provocateur and your handler ordered you to disrupt a rally organized by supposed friendlies, the same rally to which you were invited but declined to speak. WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?
I might have asked said "handler" if he didn't think that would blow my cover.
Yep, he is too smart to blow cover, loose audience and credibility with a damn camera on him.

Just watched Catherine's video. Alex, thought her little camera was taking pictures. He would not have said all those things if he knew it was taking video. ooops, Alex
Damn, Alex is and always was a huge blowhard. What else is new?
Yep, he is too smart to blow cover, loose audience and credibility with a damn camera on him.
He was drugged with that MKultra pill. haha
I don't know what possessed him to act the way he did. But he had to have known that such rude, boorish behavior would not win any new converts to his cause. Turns most people off when they see someone acting the way he did, especially when he was being disruptive to people he should have been close to.
