The End?

RD is planning to give up most of his 9/11 activism after the conference in September. He believes a group of more radical young guys are trying to take over the Civil Information-based group here in Edmonton and turn into their brand of Alex-Jones street evangelism and disruption. I don't know if that's actually what's happening or not, but there's certainly no denying that the radical element is on the rise these days. Alex Jones just made a film glorifying all the Truthers who get arrested, get into fistfights, and take over Wal-Mart intercoms (yep, the Calgary punk is featured in an Alex Jones film! And he was interviewed on Jones's show recently, as well)
RD has said many times that "now the Alex Jones cult that overshadows common sense rules the day and will ultimately destroy the good of the 9/11 truth movement in my opinion." And because of the nasty criticism and ridiculous comments he has received from his Civil Information "partner" Robin, the senile old fool in Calgary who thinks the Wal-Mart activism is a "crackerjack" idea.
RD has already resigned from the March on Ottawa, the CI blog, and as the 9/11 Truth.com grassroots contact for Edmonton. He plans to continue working with a small group of trusted friends in the city, but will shut down his website in September (after the conference).
I'm worried about this. Will he remain bitter and angry and obsessed with these betrayals and not get over it? Or will he, as I hope, move on to some new activity that also uses his skills, energy, and talents?

I noticed that RD took down his personal 9/11 blog.

He's cut a lot of ties. But he's still goading the radicals, which annoys me. Some guys from here and Calgary posted a YouTube video of some of their street activism a few days ago, and he left a comment saying "Papa Jones would be proud". I wish he could leave them alone completely.
