You gotta larf ... (yet another terrible Alex Jones rant)

[schticknz]

Oh boy oh boy ... he certainly knows how to talk utter crap does our Alex:

Apparently this is meant to be "inspiring" ... Jesus H Christ ... I wish some people would get a clue ... what a load of ol' boloni.

schtick ... who is really starting to get fed up with the phoniness of Alex "Infowrestler" Jones who gets more and more evangelical and false every bloody day. WAKE UP PEOPLE ... he's a bloody conman

Actually, I disagree with you. When he gets into these rants and raves, he is the most authentic. If he wasn't driven by genuine, "burning" passion, he wouldn't be doing what he is doing. Instead, he would just sit there like the rest of us, perhaps entertain a blog, and make "sensible" and "well-measured" comments about world events. In effect, he would also be irrelevant.

Our world is a pretty crazy place. Basically, there are two ways for dealing with it: Staying calm and riding it out - or going berserk and trying to change it. These are the two extreme positions, most people fall somewhere in between.

Most of the time, Alex Jones is perfectly calm and composed. Some of the time, his emotions run away with him. When that happens, I find it rather amusing and certainly very human - it is an antidote to the sanitised corporate bullshit that passes for political commentary these days.

Each to his own I suppose. But I really don't think Alex Jones is designed to save the planet in any way shape or form. I think his job is to scare people witless and thus freeze them into doing nothing ... which is exactly what is happening.

He talks about the "new world order being on the run" sometimes ... really??? I've never seen any of the "powers that be" look so scared for ... oh yeah ... I've never (actually) seen them looking scared of us, the proles, at all.

Sorry folks, I ain't gonna be convinced by Alex Jones until he truly does something concrete like run for office or something (although of course, he wouldn't get anywhere ... rather like Ron Paul methinks ... who is a plank of wood, anyway ) ... so that would be a waste of time too. His videos I guess are something a bit more substantial but never tell all of the truth. If he ever makes a video about the horrors of Zionism though, I will eat my hat, my trousers, a couple of pairs of pants and maybe some socks as well.

Yet another coffee fueled rant for another Monday morning ... schtick really needs to ... go and lie down or something now

What do you mean, do nothing? He encourages them to be proactive all the time: Write to newspaper editors or to their congressman, join him at rallies... This guy is incredibly active himself, for a start.

Well, he lives a bit in a world of his own, but I can understand how he got there. The views and interpretations he puts forward are based on hard data - he doesn't make up anything. He immerses himself with conspiratorial and generally sinister material, and then spreads his findings. That's his life and his work. I would think he's intelligent and disciplined enough to switch off after work to clear his mind from all this troubling stuff. He's got to, otherwise he'd eventually implode.

What have YOU done to help better society, schticknz? I mean Alex Jones has many shortcommings. I was a regular listener to him for over a year and I no longer do so because I got sick of the zealot side and the awful ads. All of that said he is a good man. He has done more for this country then you or I have. Have you ever been arrested at the hands of Geroge Bush personally for telling exactly what he is? Would you have the nerve to call out David Rockefeller in person for being a traitor like he is? Do you get death threats daily?

Alex Jones has good intentions and I still support him though I can't listen to him for longer peroids of time because I get sick of the rants that are often based on religion. He has a right to feel that way. I still realize him as a man who is doing in his eyes the best he can for his country. He is not a total source of news and he does not "get" many points on economics and geo-politcs right. He speaks more truth then lies (on in his case I feel uninformed on some points) and like anyone he needs to be filtered out. I would still take his word over any known government schill at FOX or CNN but have the common sense to make MY OWN views. I respect Alex though for his efforts though.

Each to his own ... but I feel that AJ does more of a dis-service to truth in general by being so bombastic, and soo evangelical. He never comes over as a rational human being. He relies too much on his "bull-horn" like ways and I should imagine puts a lot of people off seeking the truth since he is a supposed "figure-head" of the truth movement.

When he gets "arrested" why does it feel to me like a publicity stunt rather than him being arrested for doing something real? Sometimes he gets on CNN or one of the other networks ... and I have to think "why would the powers that be let him get on?". It feels like he does it just to ramp up his video sales ... it just doesn't feel kosher to me ... and sometimes gut-feelings are the right ones to have.

Until he does something seriously concrete like run for office (though of course, he won't get anywhere since THEY will not allow him to ... see Ron Paul) I can only see him as a fearmonger and alternative news evangelical ... which in my mind is not a good thing.

I would love to see AJ start putting out ideas and solutions about how things can be changed. Though I have to say, if he has put any out there so far (he's been doing this for about 13 years or something) they seem to have completely passed me by.

You don't seem to know him, or his approach, very well. I remember him mentioning that he had thought of putting together a proper political movement, but that he reckons he isn't quite there yet - if he ever will be. It's not really his bag. Perhaps he is scared of taking that last step. It would mean huge responsibility. Perhaps he thinks his energies are better placed elsewhere.

Besides, he has thrown his full support behind Ron Paul, and writes about him daily. I think he has helped popularise Paul in a big way. He also keeps the MSM on their toes and calls them out when they misrepresent or underreport Paul.

I think it's very easy to expect somebody else to do all the things we could be doing ourselves.

schticknz you obviously dont know much about Alex Jones. i bet you havent done a fraction of what Alex Jones has done to bring awareness to the sheeple of this Nation.. or whats left of it. it is bozos like you that will help the NWO achieve its agenda. WakeTF up dude... you are not very Patriotic.

 

[Poi]

Ew, that "patriot" card. Hasn't AJ railed against (rightly) the fact that the current administration uses it to make traitorous anyone who disagrees with the war, their policies, etc?

Hopefully, he wouldn't approve in this situation either. At best, it's a term of propaganda and wouldn't serve his cause.

Regardless of his methods, I do believe AJ to be sincere. He doesn't say "you're with him or against him." Don't do him the disfavor of tagging him with what he rails against.

 

[pixelsmith]

you are talking about the Patriot Act. that has nothing to do with Patriots.

 

[Poi]

you are talking about the Patriot Act. that has nothing to do with Patriots.

Not at all. I'm talking about extremists pointing fingers from both sides. If you don't like someone telling you that your aren't patriotic because you don't believe in an ideal, don't do it others unless you wish to experience the same sort of response.

Patriotism has become the new hot button. In my eyes, it makes the arguer lose instantly because it has nothing to do with constructive criticism or constructive argument. It's a stopper to getting anything changed.

When I used to listen to AJ, I gave him credit for feeling people just didn't want to know what might be happening to their country or that they might not have wanted to see it. I never heard him say they were unpatriotic. He didn't resort to the hot button that would put him in the class of people he determines as the makers of our downfall, the ender of the argument.

Regardless, his method of delivery tends to do that anyway.

There is another thread about this somewhere. Sorry, I just think Alex Jones is an opportunistic, modern day snake oil salesman. He's got the delusional, paranoid market cornered. Look at all the crap he's selling, or advertising on his site.

I think someone needs to start a "Stop Alex Jones" movement similar to the one established by last week's guest for Sylvia Brown. It doesn't take much to realize how he weaves these incredibly epic tales of paranoia from cherry picked elements in news stories as well as flat out distortions.

 

[pixelsmith]

how does a person so involved with all that he does make a living, if not from his supporters? i dislike the advertising on his podcasts and web site too, but the guy has to make a buck.

To be fair, this is one thing I can NOT fault AJ for, since he graciously and readily makes all his stuff available for free on Google Video.

Thank you , icculus... someone who can see through all the tripe at last

AJ (although I think we must admit has done some good ... although I'm entirely sure what that has been ) ... is just a modern day Barnum. My god he's been at this stuff for 13 years or something like that, and what has he seriously accomplished in that time?? Really??? Any change whatsoever?? Nope ... nada ... zip ... zilch ... nothing (oh apart from selling a boat load of videos which seem to tell some of the truth, but leave out a lot of extremely important information and berkey water filters ).

He's raised the profile of the "new world order", and the "german death cult" (whatever that is) ... but does he ever name names (apart from the Rockefellers). Has he talked about all those lovely people in the US administration with (extremely) close ties to Israel (oh boy I can hear the grumbling from here ) ... which has EVERYTHING to do with the present chaos in the world unfortunately ... and if you don't see that ... well you really are living in a dream world, I'm afraid.

I would happily join a "Stop Alex Jones" website or see someone start one up. I think its about time there is a website dedicated to collating all the stuff on the net about this ... as you say "snake oil salesman".

p.s. to those who say i don't "know" Alex Jones, I listened to him for 2 straight weeks when I first got into this 'conspiracy' stuff and then couldn't take anymore of his fearmongering ... but have tuned into him from time to time since. As far as I can see, he's hardly changed in all that time apart from becoming more scarily evangelical ... which throws out all sorts of warning signs to me (see all those evangelical "ministers" like John Hagee, Pat Robertson, the late Jerry Falwell ... and you think they're lovely cuddly religious leaders???). Nope he's a conman, possibly delusional as well in some respects, and a thorough worthless figurehead for any so called "truth movement".

Here is one for the cynics: Alex Jones interviews Willie Nelson. Absolutely brilliant.
