5. There is a difference between this video and the first one
In the first video the "military" that throws the guy in the car are wearing a military issue uniform that is no longer worn by any of the armed forces. It is an obvious dupe that is being used by various NWO websites to prove their "police state" theory.

This video looks a lot more legit. Most of the people on the other post that had problems with not knowing the whole story, myself included, had a problem with it upon further investigation being an obvious dupe.

It doesnt help anyone for that video to be making the rounds and only is aimed to cause hysteria among people that think we already live in a police state. Check any of the NWO conspiracy sites and you will see that video on the first page.

These are the riot police that were there yesterday and is obviously not staged.

7. um... that wasn't staged either....
At the liberal website Democratic Underground, one commenter asserted, “This is staged” and then claimed, “Those were not the uniforms National Guard/military were wearing yesterday. Neither was that the vehicles they were driving. This was just a bunch of idiots trying to make some point.”

According to news reports, “U.S. authorities assembled a security force of nearly 5,000 people to safeguard the event, including 2,500 National Guard troops, 1,200 state troopers, 875 Pittsburgh city police and small groups of officers from other agencies.”

10. I dont know
I got a strange post this morning on my bands my space site concerning this video. There is this guy on my bands friends list who constantly posts NWO conspiracy "Obama is the Illuminati" crap. He said in his post that the guy being taken away is a high profile guy in the 9/11 truth movement and a radio show host and that he knows him personally and this was definitely him.

So either these "military" guys are either targeting people from that movement, because what are the chances that they get this guy of all people. Or there are people in the NWO conspiracy movement making staged videos to promote their "America as a police state" conspiracy.

I dont believe that just because Raw Story is reporting it means it is true. I may be wrong I will admit it, but this video is plastered all over these paranoid Alex Jones websites today. It seems like the perfect sort of video for them to advance their paranoia.

11. What is Alex Jones paranoid about?
Is he afraid we might be confronted by an army of jack-booted thugs?

Preposterous.

13. If you have to ask
Edited on Fri Sep-25-09 03:30 PM by spiritual_gunfighter
what is Alex Jones paranoid about, you have obviously never listened to or watched any of his films. But if you want to tie your wagon to a guy that thinks the President was not only not born in the US but is a puppet for the Illuminati feel free.

14. Well!
You certainly set me a-right.

See, I don't agree with everything anyone says. So Ron Paul saying he's against the Fed and against the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan doen't become invalid just because I don't buy some of his other policies.

In like manner, I don't buy into all of Alex Jones' stuff. And his abrasive manner annoys me, mightily. But he HAS been real hyper about the unholy collusion of military and civilian police. In fact, ever since Bush was pres and probably before. And recent Pittsburgh videos seem to corroborate that perception.

Your exclusionary, supercilious, and dismissive manner indicates a...well...je ne sais quoi.

There is a favorite technique used among many nay-sayers that consists of repeating a two or three word phrase over and over again (my particular favorite is "batshit crazy") in an effort to discredit a person or idea.

On the other hand, there couldn't possibly be anything wrong with President Obama's desire to extend the Patriot Act(well, certain parts, anyway), nor his insistence that we stay in Afghanistan, and the 19(?) permanent bases in Iraq. And to suppose so is just...batshit crazy. And that bank bailout??? Hoo-hoo-hoo! Don't get me started.

4. Big brave police thugs....
Fascism is alive and well here.

We haven't started shooting our own citizens yet....but I'm sure it's not far off.

I wonder if Iran is televising our "democracy"??
