Ottawa-Citizen: Filmmaker Alex Jones Detained at Airport
From the Ottawa-Citizen:

Bilderberg-bound filmmaker held at airport

Canadian authorities detained an American activist filmmaker at the Ottawa airport late Wednesday night, confiscating his passport, camera equipment and most of his belongings.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada agents stopped Alex Jones, whose films include Martial Law 9/11: The Rise of the Police State, and questioned him for nearly four hours before letting him go with only one change of clothes and telling him to return Thursday morning.

“It’s really chilling, like a police state,” said Mr. Jones of his detention.

Mr. Jones and his crew, camera operators Ryan Schlickeisen and Aaron Dykes, travelled to Canada to film a documentary about the Bilderberg group, a secretive group of former politicians and business leaders who are meeting in Ottawa this week.

3. This whole incident vindicates everything Alex Jones has ever
Edited on Fri Jun-09-06 12:53 AM by file83
warned us about: The New World Order has global reach; no country is safe.

The Bilderbergs meeting is a meeting of the Global Elite (Central Bankers, Political Leaders, Corporate Leaders) and the detainment of him and his team was ordered by the group. You can learn more about this at his website, infowars.com.

10. Yes, Harper is emulating Bush.
And he's only warming up. Wait until he actually gets a majority, then he'll go full throttle.

11. Funny the CBC had a show about Bilderberg yesterday
Edited on Fri Jun-09-06 07:58 AM by Canuckistanian
Some UK author who has been sudying it for years. He said there's still a lot we don't know about them, like who makes the decisions about guests, whether they have a fixed agenda or not.

And you never know they've had a meeting until it's all over and they issue a press release.

13. 1967-pic: Reagan, Nixon, nuke scientist Glen Seaborg, Bohemian Grove.
From Seaborg's page called 'My Service With Ten Presidents From FDR to Bush by Glenn T. Seaborg.' Seaborg is one of the men, like Edward Teller, who told the American fascists what they wanted about nuclear weapons.

Observe how uncomfortable Nixon is with his tie off but shirt buttoned up

15. So, whats wrong with Alex Jones?
Edited on Fri Jun-09-06 08:45 AM by Phrogman
I've been familiar with his reporting for many, many years. I used to think he was quite amusing with his conspiratorial rants, but I be damned if more and more of his wild claims are turning out to be true and more and more of his predictions are happening.

We need more people like Alex.


Edited becuse me cant spell

27. oh look
http://ottsun.canoe.ca/News/OttawaAndRegion/2006/06/09/1621810-sun.html

(Forgive me -- right wing news for dummies rag)

A RED Hyundai slows outside Kanata's Brookstreet Hotel, set amid the manicured green campuses of Ottawa's hi-tech firms.

"What's going on?" the driver asks, leaning out.

"Sir, there's a global crime syndicate meeting," cries Alex Jones, the host of an Austin, Tex., radio show who's been stalking the secretive Bilderberg Group for years.

He was one of a pack of alternative journalists, conspiracy theorists and just plain suspicious local folks who camped out last night and caught a glimpse, they said, of David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Queen Beatrix of Holland, former N.B. premier Frank McKenna and a host of other bigwigs.
That whole keep him out of the country thing doesn't seem to have worked too well.

23. yeah, eh? and isn't it funny

how often people like this (and products of various sorts) were stopped at the border under LIBERAL GOVERNMENTS?

Oh, you probably didn't know that.

You probably also haven't figured out that a fair bit of this sort of thing is quite reasonably attributed to demands by THE UNITED STATES and criticisms of Cdn immigration policy BY THE UNITED STATES and the threat to Canadian economic interests FROM THE UNITED STATES if we don't dance to the UNITED STATES' tune in this regard.

You've heard of rocks and hard places?

18. John Edwards attended the Bilderberg Group
In Italy in 2004. I told my wife that after I read about it, I knew Edwards would be picked as Kerry's running mate.

Kissinger is a regular at the group meetings.

29. sadly, our neocon pm is a fawning lapdog of bush and does his bidding
so, this is no real surprise, especially coming on the tail of his (the pm's) recent deliberate alienation of the media here in canada.

31. I guess he was released soon after still...
I love Canada but my fantasies of moving there have died after visting recently. I would always be an American in mourning. It would be pointless. Canada, I'm sad to say, would crumble in an instant, much like France. I love France as well. Just not the place to wait out a war or expect it to put up a fight to save humanity.

32. Jones' account of his detention by Canadian authorities.


Jail threats were issued as officials seized and searched through Alex's equipment for 15 hours. He was told that if any trace of pornography was found on his three computers that he would be arrested.

"They were talking about how I was a criminal - they hooked our laptop computers up and said that if they found any porn, even mainstream porn, that it's illegal to take it across lines and that we'd be going to jail," said Alex, thanking God that no trace of any porn was found on his office computers.

Searches continued throughout the night and again in the morning.

Immigrations officials seemed to take a gleeful satisfaction in detaining the team, claiming they were liars and not part of the media despite one admitting to having seen an Alex Jones documentary. Accusations of drugs and weapons smuggling were thrown around without recourse.

After having a one and a half hour run in with one outstanding prick of a Canadian customs agent after an overseas vacation, I can believe it Alex.
