I have to say, it's completely absurd that capitalism and communism is a false dialectic, and much more absurd to claim that they "shared sources of funding." You should read Michael Parenti's "Blackshirts and Reds" or... any remotely honest take on modern history (William Blum's "Killing Hope" is a good one). The entire agenda of the CIA has always been to destroy communism wherever and whenever it surfaces, to keep the Left from taking power. You can criticize the biggest communist countries, sure, but don't miss the forest for the trees.
Thanks for the reply. I have read tons of Parenti & Killing Hope as well. I think that I should clarify that the Russian-centered communist establishment is exactly what I'm criticizing. In retrospect, it appears that the whole phenomenon was a means of getting people to voluntarily stand up and identify themselves as incompatible with or threatening to "consumer" society - then came the slaughters. Any place that came up with their own egalitarian plans just got railroaded straight into the slaughter; following, of course, a concerted effort to force alignment with Russia and further service the narrative. How convenient that Russia would eventually fail in such a spectacular way! Hollowed out and raided by highly advanced organized criminals abusing the new principles of globalization. (see "McMafia" by Misha Glenny) And how strange that the powerful networks created at this time would show up repeatedly in the "deep politic" story of 9/11.
I say "shared sources of funding" based on dimly remembered data from Sutton's "Wall Street & the Bolshevik Revolution", but I am not attached to that particular point. I am just looking & looking at the whole century's strange outcomes and trying to make sense of them. Most of what I say is a broad hint at something which I think is much more complex, and that the critical events and motivations are not laid out in broad context anywhere. At least not in any book I've read. For example, I've never seen a good overview of what the Vietnam war was all about, how many different things it served. I quote again:
Some think the third World War will be set off by a nuclear missile. For me, that's the way it will end. In the meantime, the figures of an intricate game are developing, a game whose de-coding will give historians of the future - if they are still around - a very hard time. A weird game. Its rules change as the match evolves. To start with, the super powers' rivalry transforms itself not only into a Holy Alliance of the Rich against the Poor, but also into a selective co-elimination of Revolutionary Vanguards, wherever bombs would endanger sources of raw materials. As well as into the manipulation of these vanguards to pursue goals that are not their own. During the last ten years, some groups of forces (often more instinctive than organized) have been trying to play the game themselves - even if they knocked over the pieces. Wherever they tried, they failed. Nevertheless, it's been their being that has the most profoundly transformed politics in our time. This film intends to show some of the steps of this transformation.
Even if the communist establishment was created out of genuine egalitarian goals, I think it's sickeningly obvious that it was a failure and was subverted. So many millions dead at "communist" hands, it defies belief. A great tag-team for the CIA slaughter of the same types of people (i.e. farmers and the intelligent or artistic), even if it was not cooperatively planned that way.
By the way, on the specific topic of Alex Jones:

I posted these links to try and show that the endless warnings about "martial law" and "roundups" are a bullshit obfuscation, intentionally or not. We do not even know who the critical players that needed to be rounded up were or are, but it appears to me that it's already happened & still happening. I think that secret events of huge importance are not reported with proper gravity because they are forced into a narrative of psychotic fascism rather than very complex calculation.
