Friday night there were three keynote speeches, of which I attended two - Alex Jones and Steven Jones. Both of the keynote speakers brought their 'A' game to the table, and I think pretty much everyone took something new from the information they covered. Below are notes on the first keynote speech by Alex Jones, expect such notes for Steven Jones' lecture in the next day or so. (If you attended the keynotes of other speakers please feel free to send in some notes as well.)

Alex Jones Keynote Speech Notes

Alex Jones started out by going through a power point presentation on the history of government sponsored terrorism. This section of the presentation covered in great detail such things as events in ancient Rome, Hitler's Reichstag fire, Hitler and the Gleiwitz incident, the overthrow of Mossadegh, Operation Northwoods, the Gulf of Tonkin, the U.S.S. Liberty, the Oklahoma City Bombing, and the 1993 WTC Bombing. Alex went into great depth into each of these sections, and really showed off his command of the subject matter. Alex closed out this section of his speech by discussing briefly the Iraq war. Alex pointed out the White House memo on Iraq, as well as discussed P20G who is "responsible for secret missions targeting terrorist leaders in order to stimulate reactions among terrorist groups, thereby provoking violent acts, which would in turn make them susceptible to counterattack by US forces..

Alex Jones then moved onto what he considers the smoking guns of 9/11. Going into great detail Jones covered the Bush/Bin Laden connection, PNAC, preexisting war plans for Afghanistan, the NORAD stand down, Hijackers training in U.S. bases, explosives in the buildings, and ended with the Pentagon controversy by labeling it as a sort of 'honey pot'.

One of the more interesting mentions in Alex's 9/11 segment regarded the following statement which I had not heard before:

Air Force Officer Delivers Blistering Excoriation of Bush

Of course President Bush knew about the impending attacks on America. He did nothing to warn the American people because he needed this war on terrorism. [..] What is sleazy and contemptible is the President of the United States not telling the American people what he knows for political gain.

The letter provoked immediate retaliation against the 24-year Air Force veteran. [..]

From there Alex Jones went on to discuss in great detail how incredibly corrupt and indefensible our leaders have become. He discussed how Bush is above the law, focusing on the degree to which torture has become a legal avenue via the likes of John Yoo, he covered how the media has received over 1.6 billion in funding for what amounts to propaganda, and the NSA spying scandal. He went further to talk about those people of courage who have attempted to stand up to this corruption such as Charlie Sheen, former MI5 agents, 9/11 activists, etc. - and how they are sacrificing their personal lives for the greater good.

Alex then went on to discuss the New World Order and offer his views on the greater issues of which we are all involved in.

It was great to hear Alex give such a detailed presentation covering such a wide range of information, and it was very well organized as well. Alex will be attending the American Scholars Symposium out in California at the end of this month where he will debut his latest film which he mentioned covers much of the information in his presentation.

I do not have any details as to ordering copies of Alex Jones' keynote speech yet, but we will be sure to post once we have those details.
