The question to ask is this: effective to do WHAT?
Stir the emotions? Encourage those whose emotions have been stirred to put on displays like the ones above....think about Penn's description of the Code Pink bunch.
Truthers are no different.
Truthers are mucht different. Truthers get in the faces of high ranking members with hard-hitting questions. They dont just dance around shouting, or practicing "civil disobedience".
They get Loud and Vocal,
A. When challenged (Yes, they were challenged by people booing Ventura at the R4R and there is evidence of this)
B. When they organize on the street (you know, that thing called the first ammendment?)
Ive never seen a "911 Truth" organization just sit around, and pray and pretty much just embarass themselves like the "code pink" bunch. Ive been to many 911 rally's myself and there is always GREAT organization and very effective marketing. "Debunkers" can deny all they want but, the 911 Truth movement is growing pretty rapidly. Just watching the number of Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth grow at ae911truth.org is evident of that.
Code Pink and Truthers are very different in both their effectiveness and tactical approach...
They are ridiculed as a result of emotional displays.
What has AJ done to provide GROUNDING IN THE FOUNDATIONAL CONCEPTS?
Not a damn thing.
He stirs the pot ... and THEN, he sends you running to holler "9/11 was an inside job" and you are made to appear like the code pinkers as Penn explains.
AJ isn't giving you an effective direction.
Speak for yourself but AJ has linked me to much evidence. I dont claim the man to be perfect or always correct but, he has introduced me to the idea of liberty better than any other "pundit" or "news host" that i can recall.
I would probably not have even been motivated enough to donate over $2g's to Ron Paul Chipins and whatnot, if it weren't for AJ. I know im not the only one who will testify to AJ's MASSIVE marketing contribution to the Ron Paul campaign.
I am also now fighting for liberty in Canada and I owe it all to AJ for making me aware of some very important issues (not even including 911)
From what I can tell, he stirs your emotions and proceeds to send you forth so that the mainstream CAN ridicule you.
Why?
"You gotta stand for something or you'll fall for ANYTHING."
If you come into the freedom movement with no understanding of the basic concepts, and you don't bother to learn those basic concepts...and you just want to holler "9/11 was an inside job" at some rallies....then I suggest your pot has been stirred, and stirred effectively.
Actually i do far more than just "hollar" 911 truth at rallies, but thanks for generalizing.
I understand the basic concepts of freedom quite well, thank you. I've read the Entire "Rudy's Reading List", I've read The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms at least 5 times, and i've read your American constitution twice! (Alex Jones Sent me a copy with a DVD i bought, another way he is simply informing the public of Ron Pauls message)
I feel quite informed of the Freedom Message
Truthers are welcome to do whatever they believe will be most effective in advancing whatever it is that they have as their goal. It is not one of my issues. The movement will continue regardless of the choices the "truthers' make, even if that choice is to stop supporting Ron Paul.
Most truthers will fight with Ron paul until Ron Paul quits fighting. Why? because ron paul understands the NWO, and his views are EXACTLy in line with 90% of Truthers. Ron Paul does not believe in the grand conspiracy but Ron Paul probably didnt even question the Gulf of Tonkin incident until it was Declassified.
Ron Paul understands how to play "the game". I imagine he suspects some type of domestic involvement in 911, but does not believe the grand conspiracy.
I'm not in the eyes of the media.
I'm not a conspiracy nut, and have never seen myself as united with those who are.
Well you dont see yourself as one... that's great for you
The rest of the world feels other wise.
Do you believe in the NAU?
if so, remember this?

It's getting harder for the MSM to play it off as a conspiracy now but, they definitely used that tactic at first.
You may not think you're in the eyes of the media but, the movement definitely is.
