Alex Jones makes us all look stupid. Watch him disrupt a pro-gun rally held by his own supporters:

I agree that Jones is to be avoided in mixing with any serious JFK Assassination research or event. I only posted his webcam because it was the ONLY one live in DP area I could find! He did his usual 'things' and made a bit of an ass out of himself. He came across John Judge speaking to some researches and crowd, but didn't even stop nor recognize/who he was. He did interview, briefly, Jim Marrs before he started his march around the official barricades.

I'm shocked that Jones passed by John Judge without recognizing him. He mentioned COPA several times that I saw, and had a long interview with someone named Johnson(?), who he said worked with John Judge at COPA. They spoke about Penn Jones starting things 49 years ago- clearly Jones knows about them and has a high opinion of them.
Jones and a group of fellow protesters were assaulted by Sheriff's deputies, to the evident silence of the msm. The little I caught of the absurd, controlled ceremony centered around how great Dallas is, and how they bounced back so well from that little blip in 1963. It was nauseating and offensive to see the odious Mayor talking like that, instead of paying tribute to President Kennedy.

The 'official ceremony' was like the 'official version of the Assassination' - REVOLTING and supporting a coup d'etat that remains a stake in the heart of Amerika.......
The place where John F. Kennedy was shot and killed has both a gloomy and festive air on the eve of the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of a shocking crime that most Americans regard as unsolved.
The crime scene is being scrubbed.
The weather is foggy, warm and humid. Temporary seating has been erected and the loudspeakers occasionally play the music that will be played at the one-hour ceremony scheduled to take place tomorrow around 12:30 pm, the time when the 35th president died in a hail of gunfire. Everywhere people huddle in conversation, point and debate, talking about the fatal gunfire and the causes of Kennedy's death.
But this conversation takes place outside the barricades that surround the grounds of the official ceremony.
Erasing the evidence
The white "X" painted on Elm Street marking the place where Kennedy's limousine was passing when he suffered a massive gunshot wound to the head has been removed.
The speaker's platform has been situated so that the Texas School Book Depository where accused assassin Lee Oswald allegedly fired three shots at the presidential motorcade will not be visible to camera crews from around the world. The sight lines have been constructed to capture Dallas' gleaming corporate towers and not the infamous grassy knoll, where more than 30 people (including 21 law enforcement officers) thought the fatal gunshot originated,
The admirers of Kennedy who have gathered on this spot every November 22 since the 1960s have been systematically spurned by a civic committee whose leaders have said they hope to hold an "uplifting"event about a murder in broad daylight.
A man slightly injured by a missed gunshot that day, James Tague, has been denied a ticket to the event.
The program will make no reference to the vitriolic hatred of Kennedy that pervaded the civic and political leadership of Dallas in November 1963.
Historian David McCullough, biographer of Harry Truman, will speak. Exactly a month after JFK died, Truman published a piece in the Washington Post calling for the abolition of CIA. But McCullough will not talk about that remarkable response to JFK's murder. McCullough will read excerpts from Kennedy's speeches.
Of course JFK should be remembered with the solemnity due to a fallen statesman, and dignity and controversy are incompatible. But to hold a ceremony in the place where he died and deny the evidence of his death speaks to the deep ambivalence and enduring denial that still surrounds the most painful day in American history between Pearl Harbor and September 11. LIke the continuing secrecy around the CIA's records related to JFK's assassination, the dressing up of Dealey Plaza betrays an impulse to exclude the painful reality of the JFK story from public discourse.
The weirdest thing
"Spectacle is likely to trump substance," wrote Dallas native James McCauley in the New York Times. "Not one word will be said at this event about what exactly the city was in 1963, when the president arrived in what he called, just moments before his death, nut country.'"
"It's just the weirdest thing," Deb Conway, whose group, JFK Lancer, puts on one of the largest conferences of researchers around the anniversary of his assassination, told the National Journal. "It's like if you went to a funeral but no one talked about the person who was dead."
Jim Schutze, columnist for the Dallas Observer weekly, who has written some of the sharpest commentary on this impenting ritual of forgetting, used the same analogy.
"Its like going to your parent's funeral and your brothers and sister say We're not going to funeral or say the word death." If that happened you would say, You need to see a shrink.' Not in Dallas. Its the way we deal with things. Is it the culture? Or is it mind control?"

I was watching when this happened.It was weird,but those kids at any "OCCUPY" took tens times the abuse and then got thrown in the can to boot.Jones apparently got punched in the gut.lol....But I couldn't see anything because the camera went dark.
One thing that sticks in my mind,is the goon squad that they brought out for the confrontation.I'm sure there is video somewhere.There was this one cop in the front row,that was the meanest looking s.o.b that I've ever seen on a police force.I think they brought him out from the penitentiary just for the day.Alex ranted later "I looked into the eyes of killers".Damn might have.....

Keith, I saw that too. The dude was MEAN and BIG and had a very ANGRY-AS-HELL face. He started to push, then punch Jones within 30 seconds of stepping in front of him in the 'line' the Sherrifs formed. Jones, IMO, stupidly taunted him for a long time....but lucky for Jones, he didn't get any more abuse....if at a similar Occupy event, with similar taunts, whoever made them would have died by tazer, nightstick, neck choke hold or bullet fired in 'defense', etc.
They knew who he was [and the size of his audience], so let him have a wee bit of slack....
