    Well there's a shock.   Person with no views of his own points to random video.

    Come on - what makes the guy a hero?   What makes someone who tells people their kids weren't actually murdered a hero?   What makes someone who sells fake products to gullible people a hero?   What makes a shouty nothing a hero?

    No videos - what's your view?
    Maybe you should go back and read. I said he wasn't really a hero.

    Ok, I was claiming the same thing?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,739 ✭✭✭scamalert


    the clown clears close to 3 mill profits yearly,yet claims always on his show that they are barely on the brink of running out of cash, while wearing 10k rolexes :pac:

    he sells all kinds of ****e from army food for your bunker to vitamins to flush the evil :rolleyes: at nice markup.


    think its a lot of show, but also prob messed up in the head evenly :D

    He's basically an evangelical TV preacher for people who believe Bush did 9/11 and that Obama is a muslim from Kenya.

    Sorry that was in reference to the other guy you were quoting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,731 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    He preys on gullible, disenfranchised idiots to make money off them, and avails of the 'he's just a lunatic' defence.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,470 ✭✭✭✭Grayson


    About 95% of what he says is rubbish. Still better viewing than the Young Turks.

    I'd have to agree there. Well, 100% is bull**** but he's still less irritating than the young turks. Those cnuts annoy the fcuk outta me. It doesn't even matte if they're right or wrong. They still annoy the fcuk out of me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,034 ✭✭✭✭PopePalpatine


    By any chance, has a TYT fanboy shot up a pizzeria which his beloved show alleges is a front for a Satanic paedophile cult?

    Young Turks do conspiracy theories all the time about conservatives and tell lots of lies.

    To be fair, I don't think anyone takes them that seriously. They are essentially the left wing Fox News, scaremongering left wingers for huge profit. Good for them I suppose.

    Jones is an absolute genius, the man has made millions exploiting vulnerable people fears.:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,893 ✭✭✭Cheerful Spring


    Alex Jones for me was one of first guys to talk about the new World order. While it sounds crazy, i think he was right. In 2008 we found out there is the "elite" and the rest of us.

    Alex theory in the 90's said: small group of international elites controls and manipulates governments, industry and media organisations worldwide. The primary tool they use to dominate nations is the system of central banking


    I don 't agree with everything his said since, still he was spot on before anyone else years before the recession of 2008.

    Bilderberg group was unknown till Alex Jones found out about it. Bohemian Grove another Alex Jones discovery. Alex early stuff and investigations was good in my opinion, maybe he not all there today?

    I don't think that necessarily makes him a genius. Lots of people do it. Most people don't. They just have a moral compass. Jones evidently doesn't. I'm not sure if that qualifies him as a psychopath or what - but I don't think it makes him (or others like him) a genius.

    The bilderberg group was known before Alex Jones. And there have been conspiracies about a new world order and central banks for hundreds of years.

    And more often than not Jones goes back to antisemetism... So exact same as 1930s conspiracies by Nazis.

    Hardly anyone heard of this group till Alex Jones investigated it. Internet did not exist like it does today in the 90's.. First time i heard about the new world order was from Alex Jones. There was no mainstream news outlets talking about this anywhere they still don't today.

    Alex Wife was Jewish. Is like saying Trump hates Jews even though his daughter is married to one!

    Still not really holding up, he engages in anti-semetic tropes and does so on a regular basis. From this month alone.
    http://www.salon.com/2017/08/14/alex-jones-charlottesville-protesters-are-really-just-jewish-actors

    Meanwhile he views George Soros as the head of a 'Jewish Mafia'. So spare me with claims that he isn't an anti-semite..

    https://www.timesofisrael.com/pro-trump-radio-host-george-soros-is-head-of-jewish-mafia/

    Even the term 'globalist' is regularly just used as a catcall for anti-semites by him.

    The first time I head about santa was from my mother. She didn't discover santa.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,375 ✭✭✭✭rossie1977


    New world order has been an ongoing thing for decades. The Simpsons, movies, professional wrestling and even music constantly referenced it in the 1990s

    That's from 1993 and was a fairly big hit for the band

    Jones hardly blew the lid off of Bohemian Grove. It had previously been reported on, and even had the same type of conspiratorial allusions drawn about it.

    The salon quote Alex.
    Nothing against Jews in general, but they are leftists Jews that want to create this clash and they go dress up as Nazis. I have footage in Austin — we’re going to find it somewhere here at the office — where it literally looks like cast of “Seinfeld” or like Howard Stern in a Nazi outfit. They all look like Howard Stern. They almost got like little curly hair down, and they’re just up there heiling Hitler. You can tell they are totally uncomfortable, they are totally scared, and it’s all just meant to create the clash.

    The problem i got is they did not provide the full quote by Alex, so they are dishonest in their report. If you going to bash someone online provide the full quote in context.

    Here's a little bit of audio of me like 18 years ago protesting the KKK? Is this true? Has the mainstream media checked to see if this true?


    This is full quote.
    .Here's a little bit of audio of me like 18 years ago protesting the KKK. There’s no big crowd of Antifa there supporting me, and them threatening to kill me, everything else. And it later came out they were federal agents like I said. It wasn’t even real. I mean, quite frankly, I've been to these events, a lot of the KKK guys with their hats off look like they’re from the cast of Seinfeld. Literally they’re just Jewish actors.

    There is nothing to it? There is literally hundreds of men standing around in a forest looking at an altar and this altar was there to worship the pagan god Moloch (the Canaanite god associated with child sacrifice) nothing weird about this at all!

    I never saw this till Alex Jones leaked it.

    That quote is making him sound no less antisemetic....

    Not providing the full quote either way is a deliberate attempt to hide information. Alex belief was based on past experience not all the protesters are genuine ( the mainstream left this part out)

    No different from the young turks or MSNBC or any other propaganda network.

    Please tell me when TYT, MSNBC etc. start proposing the idea that Trump is sent by Satan to put chemicals in the water to turn us all into sex slaves and how we can prove this is that flies lands on Trump.

    So you have really no argument that he isn't engaging in antisemetism... When he clearly is...

    The shortening the quote left it pretty accurate anyway. There's only so much Alex Jones hysteria one wants to wade through to find his point.

    As for why he thinks it, it's because he's a raving muppet in search of ratings. Do you really think that Sandy Hook was a false flag? He thinks everything is actors. In Alex Jones world, the world is made up of media, people he approves of (there are not many of those) and actors.

    Jones is obsessed with globalists and fact is the richest most wealthiest of them are Jewish. Does this mean he hates Jewish people? I doubt it because he married a woman who was Jewish and she had his kids.

    Shall we ignore his Jewish actors playing Nazis stuff from only the last month? He is engaging in antisemetic conspiracies that are no different to those that Hitler used. You're choosing to ignore that fact.

    The full quote is as clear, it's not the mainstream media duty to engage with antisemetic conspiracy theorists. Do you also believe the Sandy Hook victims and families were actors? Jones hangs himself with his own words.

    Wasn't clear. The website you provided left out 4 lines of the quote. I have not researched Sandy hook to go there and i not a fan of Alex Jones. I said in the 90's he discovered some unusual stuff, since then his acting bat**** crazy.

    He claimed it was a group of actors that were clearly Jewish pretending to be Nazis... What's open for interpretation? He's uncovered literally nothing and has appealed to the ill informed and hateful.

    He said they were leftish Jewish actors. Since nobody has asked what he meant by this we just left to speculate. If Alex is racist why would he marry a Jewish girl?
