The messenger can sometimes obscure the message. Jones is bigger than his message, that's a problem right there. It's a cult of Poisonality.

We would be better off without any figureheads as leaders. We should concentrate on the message, not the messenger. Do we really need leaders on the 'net? If someone wanted to speak with me about AJ, I would walk the other way, and that is the whole point, methinks.


I still maintain that Alex is more of a uniter than a divider. This is one of the things that I saw post 911 that really impressed me about him. I saw left and right leaning folks coming together over a fear of martial law and a respect for the constitution and an energizing of activists toward action.

If someone walks the other way from conspiracy / parapolitical information that is there choice but if they are never facing the heart of those issues they are just as shallow and sheep-like as those the conspiracy-community calls sheeple.

He just played all his readers as fools. That disclaimer should be at the top AND it wasn't even there when they originally posted the "article".

Some things are meant to be divided, like fiction from nonfiction.

So what's the big news? I never go to those sites. All I found was an interview by Charlie Sheen with President Obama about 9/11 re-investigation.

I believe AJ has been on XM or Sirius satellite radio for a while now ... tho I'm not sure when that started, some time in the last year or two I think.

Folks I know have heard PSAs for "The Alex Jones Broadcasting Network" via the local micro-FMs (whose ownership and content turf-wars were part of the original post for this thread). In the midst of his online TV show version of his radioshow I've now seen two visual versions of that PSA:

... at about the 2:40 mark in this video

So the combination of that background has had me wondering. Plus of course they just expanded their facility:

Alex Jones and Jason Bermas: Expanding the Infowars Central Texas Command Center

Alex Jones New Studio Tour – 0904

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SW8BderKVbw

Alex Jones - Broadcast Studio Tour (where he calls himself MeatHead)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bI9tOdExe0Q

But it's looking like the announcement is at least partially about Sheen getting to talk to Obama about 911:

Well that should do it as far as anyone taking AJ seriously.

Anyone with a brain, that is.

The disclaimer was not originally posted with the fake interview on that site. They added the disclaimer after people started spreading it all over the internet. Also, they don't note that they added it later.

So the net effect? His readers look like unintelligent fools that don't read the actual articles. WAY TO GO INFOWARS!

Btw Sweejak:

Any radio shows you recommend?

The only real good deep state radio shows I recall were
Michael Corbin's 4 A Closer Look, Guns and Butter, and now and then Democracy Now.


I like Shoenman's shows, the few I've heard, the guy really needs to set it up as a podcast.

Here is Blood interviewing Schoenman in 2007.

Ok, this is the Big News apparently. Charlie Sheen is requesting an audience with Obama on opening a new 9/11 investigation.

Fat chance, I say. What say you?

You know, it occurs to me that it's easier for me to defend him because I don't do his radio show, apparently unlike most of the folks here.

I read Nimmo's and the Watsons articles though I really liked Nimmo when he was on his own.

The whole thing seems to be going down like a lead balloon judging by the torrent of pissed off folks in the Comments section of the articles. From a social media pov this is a very bad thing for AJ.

Like the hype before Loose Change Final Cut, which promised so much and delivered so little, and ended up more like an uncontrolled self-demolition for the Truth movement.


I think they probably got the slickness of Obama's potential responses down well in the scenario.
