About this episode

Governor George W. Bush ordered the detention of Alex Jones during a 1998 campaign rally at a DuPont plant, marking a violent escalation in the suppression of Texas dissent. Texas Rangers acting as Secret Service agents allegedly slammed Jones against a vehicle after he questioned the Governor regarding the Council on Foreign Relations. This forty-five minute kidnapping occurred amidst a highly staged media event designed to manufacture grassroots support for the Bush family political dynasty.

Texas Senators Phil Gramm and Kay Bailey Hutchison face sharp criticism for abandoning fiscal conservatism in favor of federal expansion and globalist interests. While Hutchison opposed Bill Clinton on anti-missile defense, both figures are characterized as Maine carpetbaggers facilitating the New World Order. The narrative links these Republican leaders to European banking cartels and the United Nations, arguing that the Federal Reserve and the IRS serve as mechanisms for foreign corporate control over American sovereignty. These institutional ties allegedly prioritize international treaties over the United States Constitution and the economic independence of Texas citizens.

Alex Jones recounts the surreal moment campaign staff handed pre-made signs to toddlers to simulate a populist uprising for the cameras. The atmosphere at the DuPont masking plant shifted from a choreographed photo-op to a security lockdown the moment the Federal Reserve was mentioned. Jones describes the physical altercation with security as a defining moment in his early career as a broadcast journalist.

George W. Bush Campaign Rally Staging, 1998 DuPont Plant

Alex Jones describes a mid-September 1998 campaign rally for Governor George W. Bush at a DuPont masking plant. The event featured staged elements, including campaign staff handing out pre-made signs to young children to create a false grassroots appearance. Jones claims he was taken into custody for questioning the Governor before being released at Bush's request.

00:00 When Alex and Mike went out to a Governor Bush rally, and Alex was falsely imprisoned for about 45 minutes. And Mike was assaulted to which both of them have... So that's coming up hang on! You're about to see a rally in mid-September 1998 at the DuPont masking plant A public meeting where I simply asked a few basic questions about real issues They took me into custody and were going to arrest me for disturbing a public meeting, but the governor then requested as I was being transported to the Williamson County Jail to have me released because they had nothing to hold me on. This is a very frightening trend here in our country. But let's go back first and let me show you

00:50 how staged this entire event was. They were literally handing out signs for the children to hold up that were drawn as if children had made them and again I'm not a Republican or Democrat, I confront both Democrats and Republicans with the facts, the real issues like the Federal Reserve and the Council on Foreign Relations The most powerful institutions in this nation and in the world they also tell my cameraman to turn his camera off They tell him to back off. When he does that, they then say shut the camera off That's the main issue here with this story today I guess they would have told them to turn the camera off with a Rodney King incident Do they have the right to do that? I think not Now you see the crowd assembling They made us wait about an hour while they played marching music And there you had it Stacks of signs...I was at the front this time and Mike, the camera guy was up on the media raised area

01:48 and they began handing out signs to people. I didn't see this happening, I saw them bring signs to the kids at the front and they were literally pushing their kids in the front and they had cameramen staging the kids asking parents can we have your kids hold these signs giving them signs there were cameramen from Bush campaign getting photos And of course it was just standard operating procedure but its just...it's just.. To be there and to see it going on was just unbelievable It just shows the mentality. You see, if they'd have been handing out normal bush signs that were mass manufactured and produced it wouldn't have been a big deal but they had pre-made signs stacks of them that I saw handing out to children now these look like UT students i'm talking about five and six and three year old children at the front we'll try to show some video those kids holding up those signs that they were given to hold up

02:40 It just shows the mentality, the staged mentality. They'll stage this what else will they stage? Both of major parties do this they want to look grassroots but it's not grass roots guys it just has a flavor of it its big money interest old money interest I'm free market but the Republican and Democratic parties are not. I'm recording I can't clap too good Oh No! No dirty work

CHAPTER 02 / 4 Discussion

Texas Political Figures, Phil Gramm and Kay Bailey Hutchison

The discussion criticizes Texas politicians Phil Gramm and Kay Bailey Hutchison, labeling them as "carpetbaggers" from Maine and "cheerleaders" for big government. While acknowledging Hutchison's opposition to Bill Clinton's veto of anti-missile defense, the commentary characterizes these figures as traitors to fiscal conservatism. The segment highlights a perceived disconnect between their rhetoric and the expansion of federal power.

03:30 They are absolutely laughing at you right here. We take our money, pose as conservatives! Pose as fiscal conservatives! Oh please we want Bush for president and governor oh my gosh he'll raise taxes like his father did...oh boy just love it And they were so arrogant when they came out on stage I mean the congressmen and senators judges people they're just full of themselves these are the people that Wanted to be cool back in high school and would do anything to do it. And now they're up there running your country, sucking off you! Look at Phil Graham up there not even a real Texan A carpetbagger just like Governor Bush Yeah they're from Maine did ya know that? They sure pose as Texans good They do a great job There's Kate Bailey a cheerleader That what she is a cheerleader for big government Now I'll admit she stood on a few things like

04:27 Speaking out against Clinton vetoing our anti-missile defense system, but other than that same old traitor. We're in deep trouble I mean look at Graham that guy is on such a sickening power trip A government that is small enough that the states can do their jobs without interference and an America And of Texas that promotes small business and education for our people They sure talk the talk, but they don't walk the walk. Under President Bush we had giant tax increases We had more and more expansion of federal power And what did George Bush's father call for? I'm not talking about the grandfather Prescott that funded the Nazis No no, I'm not talking about Brown & Harriman brothers Uh...I'm talking about the governor's father The president He called for a new world order! We have him on tape talking about it

CHAPTER 03 / 4 Discussion

New World Order, National Sovereignty and Globalism

A critique of the "New World Order" focuses on the loss of American national sovereignty to international bodies like the United Nations. The narrative links the Bush family to globalist interests and the Council on Foreign Relations, which is allegedly controlled by European banks. Proposed solutions include abolishing the Federal Reserve and the IRS to remove foreign corporate influence from the U.S. banking system.

05:25 The New World Order does not mean giving up your national sovereignty. The New World Order... Well, the hell it doesn't! You were the one calling for UN control worldwide It's UN anti-drug forces that are in San Antonio and Dallas right now and all across the country That's even in the mainstream papers Our country is being taken over We're losing our sovereignty And this guy right here This phony Texan has got you all sucked in I'm sorry, i'm not being sucked in by the pretty packaging. I'm standing up for America! You better do it too." Now they're trotting out their candidates and I saw the faces of the people they were just awe-inspired to be around these people They feel like their power is manifest in these politicians They are good Republicans, they love America While you're looking at a bunch of CFR, Council on Foreign Relations

06:20 And the Council on Foreign Relations is controlled by European banks. Research it for yourselves! You see, we can't have solutions until we realize the problems and when get out of this rat maze where the political paradigm is set for us We have to shine a light on who controls the situation educate the public and then move forward with abolishing the Federal Reserve abolishing the IRS, instituting monetary reform constitutional money having major investigations of our voting systems as they stand today. That's what we need until we do those basic things there is no way that we can turn this country around There is no way that we can get the foreign corporations out of our banking system out of our industrial system then we could stop at deindustrialization It's the third world war my friends and it's silent

08:04 and begin to talk about the problems of Texas, and how he's going to solve them. Well you know I wanted ask him the real questions And i was told that governor was gonna stay in answer questions but he was behind schedule He wasn't able do that So what looked like at the end of his speeches he was winding down They all gave pretty short speeches I asked him about the Federal Reserve and the CFR The Council on Foreign Relations And they didn't like that too much and I was drug away People were actually asking questions. He would kind of laugh and say things and when I did they didn't like the question he froze And you'll see him wave Kind of nod towards the Secret Service, which is Texas Rangers in this case didn't look like Texas Rangers?

08:53 They come over and grab me, take me off or slam around as you'll see. And they say I'm going to jail until they come over the squad car and say releasing the governor says we have no reason to hold him but they sure got me out of there didn't they? I was kidnapped for a short period of time and also go after my cameraman We'l get that coming up right now
