There's a whole chapter in Ronson's book "Them" where him and Jones 'infiltrate' the B0h3mi4n Gr0v3.
I called Alex Jones, the radio and TV talk-show host I had met while visiting Texas with Randy Weaver. He instantly invited himself along.
"That place is sick!" he yelled. "You've got presidents and governors and prime ministers and corporate chieftains running around naked. They have orgies. They worship their devil owl. I'll smuggle a camera in and get right up in their faces."
"I think stealth might be a better approach if we want to witness the owl-burning ceremony," I said.
"You're right," said Alex, thinking aloud. "Let's liken it to Indiana Jones. Getting in their faces will be like going for the little emeralds along the way to the big ruby in the head of the idol, which would be to actually witness the owl burning itself."

Think I first heard of him n about 2000 or early 2001, and I thought he sounded like he was in his 50s or 60s. Turns out he was about 25 years old at the time.
Did he smoke 60 a day at the age of 14, or something?

Judging by the fact that neither Clinton nor Bush brought in the NWO or martial law or death camps despite Alex swearing blind for three hours a day on the radio that they would, I'm guessing the real Obama Deception is whatever Alex Jones says about him.

In 9th grade I thought this dude was the motherfucking TRUTH.
Then in college the KKK was rallying on the steps of the Texas capitol so me and a thousand bros went to drown them out and I saw Jones standing with the Klan shouting back at us with a megaphone about how we didn't know anything about Mexican history or American history.

OK, so one of Alex Jones' co-host minions just had this amazing rant about how "they" must have technology "behind closed doors" (ie Area 51) that's way in advance of what "they" let us see. Apparently the NWO has technology that is 20 or 30 years ahead of the real world, because the Nazis invested the stealth bomber. Paraphrasing: IF "THEY'VE" SHOWN US GLOW IN THE DARK DOGS AND CATS, JUST WHAT IS IT "THEY'RE" HIDING FROM US?
Now Alex Jones himself is freestyling a rap about rape and crack whores and being the "American bitch" over the top of some James Brown tune.

I've spent the past 2 weeks in austin, and I couldn't decide what to listen to so I turned the radio on, I've never listened to the radio in austin, even though I lived here for 11 years. I've since started listening to Alex Jones. The odd thing is that I thought this guy was more of a leftist, yet many of what he was saying could've been Rush Limbaugh or any of the other far right. It's odd when both sides end up saying the same thing despite themselves. Sometimes I want to laugh at this guy, yet he's so set on this upcoming take over that I'm usually dumb founded. Are there any truths to these conspiracy theories, that a group(s) are plotting to take power and declare marshall law. What will these groups(s) do once this has happened, and why would they want to upset the population in such a way? Wouldn't these people profit more if these went on as they are and they continue to do what ever it is they do? I just don't see these conspiracies holding up, are the powerful that mean, and that organized? I know this question is probably silly, and I shouldn't just stop listening to him, but it's so outlandish.

and I'll post this direct quote from the conclusion of 'Endgame' for anyone who's been overdosing on this guy to the point where it's beginning to seem like 'more' than entertainment
"And the Georgia Guidestones stand today as a testament to the Elite's sacred mission. To have a two class system, where the underclass are forced to live as slaves in tiny enclosed cities, while the elite enjoy the land of the earth, evolve into Superhumans with the aid of advanced implantable technologies, live eternal lives, and travel throughout the Cosmos. THIS is the promise given to the members of the new world order, and the agenda of the Bilderberg group."

Meet the new Glenn Beck
Three days after The Obama Deception was released, the online Fox News show "Freedom Watch"--hosted by the network’s senior judicial analyst, Andrew Napolitano--did a joint broadcast with Jones. "I am so happy because we’re doing something different right now," Napolitano announced at the start of his March 18 program. "We are simulcasting with the one, the only, the great Alex Jones on Alex Jones radio!"
Jones appeared on a split screen with Napolitano. "What are you talking about today?" Napolitano asked him. "Oh, just how hundreds of mainstream news articles a week are saying there is a new world order, a global government, it will be run by the very banks that are collapsing society by design, and we will pay carbon taxes to them," Jones replied. He went on in that vein for a few moments. Then Napolitano said, approvingly, "I appreciate what you’re exposing ... I must tell you that there was a time when the types of things that you are warning against was not discussed openly and publicly."
Alex Jones as a regular Fox News talking head would be über-LOLs.

He tries to get us to see the ridiculosness of David Ickes lizard theory when in reality, David Icke has the most comprehensive and on the mark evidence of the world leader's to date. Jon Ronson like's to make himself look good and make himself look like the most intelligent in each situation, when he really is the ignorant one."

The chapter where they broke into the Bohemian Grove was hilarious and pathetic (for his reactions, not Ronsons).
I saw the video for that about ten years ago and it was very comic-pathetic. It combined farce with an undercurrent of danger. One of my favorite pre-Youtube experiences.

i've never really listened to alex jones before but i've started, last couple week. it's amazing... like, the conspiracy he has in mind, which appeals to a racist rightwing but is also so fucking insane... like, the globalists as a mega-conspiracy which wants to enslave humans and take off into the stars... and....
he might be a dangerous extremist, if he could stay on one topic for longer than ten seconds. each segment is a free association rap:
people are dumpster diving -> love being poor -> "into embracing the green police" -> internet plantation -> u.s. wants chinese-style -> foxconn workers live in coffin-sized tubes that are "injected into the wall" -> hotels in japan -> houses in america will shrink to 20 sq ft -> you will go through biometric scanners -> landlords will live in 5000 sq ft penthouses -> if you complain or complain about benghazi -> zuckerberg calls people names -> you will be kicked off the internet or killed -> what is the globalists' response to the war that patriots are waging against it? -> "their answer, ladies and gentleman, will be to shut us up and shut us down" -> cnn and msnbc are staffed by the white house -> jimmy kimmel has obama on as a guest every week -> the government is setting up a kleptocracy -> the ruling class will build a massive amount of wealth and power "while you live in coffin boxes" -> and they bring in the sterling story, and the clippers -> "now, let's have an all black league! well, that's where it's going. they'll have an all white league, too. and being white itself will be racist" -> donald sterling hates his players and must do whatever the government says -> you can't even say the word "fiesta" now and we have to hand in our guns and support obama.
[commercial for a handcrafted knife "that will be passed down for generations"][commercial for a book explaining the monetary system]["gardeners and fellow patriots!" commercial for non-gmo heirloom seeds, "american-owned by patriots like you"][commercial for water filters-- "forced medical treatment," chemical spills, heavy metals in tapwater, fluoride is killing us][commercial for some kind of "lung cleanse" spray. this is the weirdest][commercial for coffee from chiapas, "this coffee gives you a long, smooth pick-me-up for hours. and it's taken us years to secure connections directly to the chiapas mexican farmers"][commercial for "magic mud," fluoride free whitener, now gmo-free and safe to swallow!][commercial for food dehydrator voiced by santa claus]
[bumper music: janis joplin - "me and bobby mcgee"]
"where have we gotten to in this society?" -> the super rich are tax exempt -> warren buffet lobbies to destroy the middle class -> "how do they keep a population at each others throats?" -> the ruling class has special rules -> "how do you balkanize a public so you keep them from knowing obamacare was written by foreign bankers?" -> "you take every racial comment and blow it out of proportion!" -> clippers owner represents every white person in america -> spike lee is speaking out for white people, even -> someone is calling for an all black league, "but would an all white league be racist?" -> the globalists divide us by tearing us apart along racist lines -> "minority groups are being reorganized as tribal groups?" -> plastic globalist culture is "injected in" by mtv and social groups -> anyone that speaks out about obamacare or gun laws will be branded as a racist -> two universities in colorado banned native american, "geisha girl," and cowboy costumes at halloween -> a listener sent him an indian headdress, which is beautiful but which he can't wear -> "what if i ate german food? would i be against germans?" -> a fraternity has banned fiesta parties -> the word "fiesta" is now racist -> toga parties might follow because they are racist against greeks -> we have to change the name of fiesta, texas because white people might go there -> the globalists do this to divide and conquer -> congress has a 6% approval rating -> they work for the globalists -> congress members are exempt from all laws they pass -> heart of tyranny -> sterling got his building paid for, which is an abomination, robbing all of us -> "i want to hear specifically from black folks. am i wrong?"
back to commercial.
it's compelling.
― dylannn, Sunday, 4 May 2014 09:34 (twelve years ago)
democrats couldn't win elections by the mid-1960s -> they started reaching out to minorities -> they need racism to "stimulate the minorities to be racially-based" -> for fear of being branded a racist, we will support obamacare -> there's so much elitism -> if you go in the wrong biker bar, they'll say "you're not part of the skulls" -> humans enjoy exclusivity -> ten thousand plus christian denominations because christians like exclusivity -> there are one million gods in india -> "i belong to the human empowerment crew or GANG or TRIBE. i belong to the group that wants to expand human endeavors and development. and only unifying around basic human liberty...-- that is so incredibly important" -> al sharpton is primitive -> rachel maddow, too -> msnbc is "race-pimping" -> ignorant people buy into the "race religion" -> then there are those that use racism as a "cultural tool" -> "the klan routinely attacks people that move in from another county-- white people!" -> if we understand how human psychology works, we can transcend it -> msnbc supports al qaeda and murdering christians -> why doesn't mark cuban call out the globalists?

big pharma puts chemicals in the water to lower the IQs of white people -> but the fluoride hurts black people worse than white people -> "but is that fun or sexy to complain about?" -> "52% of blacks are aborted" -> "i could get up here and say how great inoculations are, how great that city water is, how great the violent hip-hop is" -> but abortion is a "good liberal thing" -> "but the mere fact that i'm white, i'm suspect" -> new yorkers move to texas and think people ride horses -> "you can find some of the dumbest black people in the countryside. you can find some of the smartest black people in the countryside. that's a stereotype" -> look at family law in the united states -> "the system has been set up to say men shouldn't have their kids" -> men need to reclaim their liberty -> "we have a right not to be discriminated against WITH SYPHILLIS IN THE VACCINES" -> "now the white house science czar is lying about fluoride in the water" -> the big issue here is that we are being socially engineered because the globalists have a 6% approval rating -> they are eugenicists -> they are playing north vs. south in the u.s., black tribe vs. black tribe in nigeria, spurs fans vs. mavericks fans -> foreign banks are stealing trillions from us -> they tried to sell a bullet train from san antonio to austin -> it was unpopular but now it's popular, because sports fans are for it -> "let's build a five billion dollar train! go through german shepherd checkpoints!" -> "i don't want to pay for your train-- your DUNGEON. i don't want to pay for your police state!"

― dylannn, Sunday, 4 May 2014 10:29 (twelve years ago)
actually, the star wars thing was folded into a great rant last night that started with:
"may day-- the communist holiday! do you know where it comes from? the ancient druids! they burned children to idols. i will let you know about the religion of our owners. of course it's a religion of killing children!"
he gave some interesting facts:
-- mayans were short because they killed the tallest members of their tribe.-- the europeans liked to burn little kids-- the aztecs killed pregnant women and the priest class sold their meat, which accounted for 90% of the protein intake of the aztecs
this led to an explanation of how globalists are anti children and lead pedophile rings and obama is trying to legalize the murder of toddlers,
and then:
back to may day! jacobins! then a description of the goals of the french revolution, which included "drinking blood" and a "nine day work week," then something about how people think iran are al qaeda and THEN! the emperor staged attacks against himself to bring in a police state.

i was often spooked or moved or felt sympathy, whatever listening to coast to coast a.m. as a kid. usually under the covers. signal boomed from a giant a.m. transmitter in the colorado rockies. with the guests and callers on coast, you were hearing secret profound beliefs that people wanted the world to know about or a bizarre alternative history of or way of looking at things that seemed familiar. but with jones, any topic is rapidly spun into an angry hurricane with the globalist plot at its eye. seemingly tangential details, minor events, are incorporated into an worldview that-- well, watch that clip: he thinks there's a class of people that are going to force humans into pods in order to allow the harvesting of our vital forces to escape the earth and colonize space.
it sort of lacks the creativity and the heart of coast. and the whole thing with normal right wing radio is that it's supposed to be IT'S JUST COMMON SENSE, PUT IT TOGETHER. i guess alex has creativity! but not much. and it can be very frustrating to listen to because the theories of conspiracy that alex works with, he bends them so quickly past credibility that it's frustrating to listen to.
like, he did the peaches geldof story and his conclusion was that big banks killed her. because! the u.s. military occupied afghanistan to aid their allies, al qaeda -> the u.s. military oversees heroin production in afghanistan -> the u.s. military provides heroin to the cia -> the cia was created to serve the banks -> the banks are financed by cia drug running -> the banks and the cia are both run by globalists, whose goal is dehumanization and depopulation, so they aggressively promote drug addiction -> big banks killed peaches geldof.
i think there's probably something interesting to say about the role of the cia in moving drugs around, something interesting to say about heroin production in afghanistan and who the u.s. military works with in afghanistan-pakistan, something interesting to say about drug money and big banks and i guess who finances and is financed by the drug war...-- but the fact that his thoughts all spin down the drain of globalist schemes to destroy the human race is frustrating!
great radio when he explains the french revolution as an elitist vampire fiesta with the goal of forcing people to submit to nine day work weeks, though.

i'm no expert but i see it like this
the globalists refers very specifically to the group that is aiming to put us into pods, harvest our lifeforce and colonize space
but
they are aided by several powerful--but less powerful than the supreme globalists--groups that have been allowed to operate with the blessing of / support of / under the cover of the globalists. these groups include satanists and the illuminati.
one of the globalist goals, which they are trying to achieve through social engineering, is depopulation of the earth. the globalists collaborate with satanic groups that use the murder of children in their rituals.

there was a great segment tonight, when he went to first time callers.
the calls are always a bit awkward. the guests are always a bit awkward. part of it is that alex jones has set up such a detailed vision of hell that i feel slightly embarrassed when guests wander out of it. earlier tonight, a guest was on, some conventional far right guy, who said that it was disappointing that poor people think that the rich pay no tax-- BUT! if you've been listening, you know alex is big on saying that congress is exempt from all taxes (and laws) and that the 1% are not generating wealth or paying taxes but merely suckling at the teat of government welfare. it was an awkward moment, for me.
anyways. callers. mostly they just go off on their pet conspiracies. the guy tonight that was indignant about being asked for his receipt as he left wal-mart, for example. alex picks up and the callers go ahead and say whatever they have to say, then they pause, waiting for alex to speak. but he hasn't been paying attention and returns to his own talking points.
tonight, a woman named simone called in. simone makes dolls. but her doll business has suffered. she is concerned that it's because of globalist social engineering, which is all about dehumanization, an attack on the family--
lots of alex's stuff is traditional conservative talking points like the liberals attack family values but stretched to... the liberals attack family values BECAUSE they have been occupied by the globalists WHO have a master plan to dehumanize our planet and turn us into pod people BECAUSE they want to harvest our lifeforce and colonize space--
alex was feeling it and picked up with her after a break.
he started with an explanation of how a "priest class" was born during the dark ages. the priest class had explanations for natural events, for example telling people that goblins ate the moon, as it waxed and waned. these people became the illuminati, the illuminators. they were an owl that could see in the dark. but they were fake. somehow, he curved back to simone the dollmaker's concerns and got into a rap about how big pharma is dumping pharmaceuticals into the water that are making men effeminate and weak. at the same time as big pharma is poisoning men, they are facing assaults from trash culture on tv and attacks on the rights of men. this has resulted in women becoming more masculine, "just like when men go away to war and women step up." this is a favorite topic of alex, the degradation of the masculine. he closed by saying that of course dolls are no longer popular! humans are under assault by non-humans and men can now lactate ("LOOK IT UP" *rustling of papers*). he described it as the "scientific positronic megamassive end of humanity."

the flattening and/or hypertrophy of political discourse into zones of gnostic intelligibility is great tbh, and whilst it serves the purposes of power in a very obvious way i can't help but feel like the departure from The Rational also makes play with a lot of the thought structures thru which power has traditionally exerted control

summary of those criticisms, if you can call them that:
- is married to a jewish woman - never mentions zionist conspiracies- knows a bit too much about 9/11, which was actually bankrolled and directed by mossad- some of his advertisers and staff might be jewish
therefore, he is a zionist shill and/or mossad agent

and another nail in his coffin: he says bad stuff about hitler
― dylannn, Wednesday, 7 May 2014 12:49 (twelve years ago)
part of the reason he comes into conflict with his guests is because some of his talking points are kinda lefty and not in agreement with traditional right wing radio: really big on the banks wrecking the world and concentrated wealth, not the 1% but the 0.00000something percent, the super owner class.

here's how i understand his view of climate change:
climate change is possibly real, who knows, but, it was not caused by humans...
you see, the globalists want to:
1) convince us that humans are bad and the goal of the environmentalist movement is depopulation of the earth.2) the globalists are using the climate change hoax to bring in new taxes and new systems of control.3) allow the globalists to push for genetic modification of crops, which will damage our dna and speed up the process of depopulation.4) funnel money to the stormtroopers of depopulation and dehumanization.

why are the globalists trying to cause depopulation?
― ryan, Wednesday, 7 May 2014 14:06 (twelve years ago)
the goal seems to be to depopulate the earth by 90% but i am not sure exactly to what end. i hope someone else can answer the question.
my rough understanding: the globalists don't need as many people as there are currently alive. the globalists number in the hundreds or maybe thousands and the current population of the earth is a drain on resources that they will later use as they expand beyond the earth. the globalists require humans as servants and as an energy source-- they might also use humans for ritual purposes-- but they don't require 6 billion.

No girls were harmed during the attack.If liberals were truly humanitarian and not driven by the mindless dictates of feminism and political correctness, they would hashtag #SaveOurKids instead of merely #BringBackOurGirls.

jordan maxwell on the show tonight is exposing the pirates of the caribbean--
* they were knights templar. who were international banker elites.
* the current pirates of the caribbean is worshipped by skull & bones. the black of the pirate flag represents saturn. "and the nazis wore black," interjects alex.
* internal revenue service is based in puerto rico. why??? that's where the pirates of the caribbean were.
* $: this symbol shows two letters, I and S, meaning "insurance script"
and zombies--
* "the knowledge of how governments operate is at the county level. cemetery law in all counties is the final law on property"-- who is living in cemeteries? dead people. the globalists are saying we are dead.
― dylannn, Thursday, 8 May 2014 09:23 (twelve years ago)
* we used to worship saturn, who was referred to as the "inhibitor" and the "lord of the rings."
* the rings represent chains. that is why women were told to listen to saturn. that's why they were "EARrings." now you have wedding rings, pedophile rings and a film called LORD OF THE RINGS: TWO TOWERS-- which is masonic and depraved.
* the romans used to call their sewage system, "the system"-- now we have "school systems."
* when babies are born, their feet are printed, which is sent off as collateral to the imf and world bank
* the double helix snake sign for medicine... they knew the secrets before dna was discovered by science... that is otherworldly
* there are strange pyramids underwater, which implies that a higher intelligence has been on earth for longer than we know and "something very evil is coming this way" and will make the human race into a "computerized unit"

alex jones: cats carry an amoeba that makes us servants to cats -> the egyptians were infected by it and began worshipping cats -> "i'm not sure how this fits in" -> imagine what other parasites there are that we don't know about -> "spiritual parasites!"
louis maxwell: there are so many movies about CAT GODS -> there is some kind of "magical system at work" -> where did our technology come from? -> we are being fed high technology from off-world entities -> why did we get so far and so deep into the occult world in 100 years, at the same time as we developed technology? -> i have no respect for the systems of education -> there is definitely otherworld interference -> "the word is not evolution-- it's interference"
alex: that's what genesis says!
louis maxwell: i talked to rabbis about that in the 1960s -> "i asked a high ranking rabbi in america in the 1960s, in genesis 9:1... it talks about noah... it says that when noah came off the ark, go forth and multiply and replenish the earth" -> "is that a correct translation? REplenish? as in, re-do, do it again" -> the rabbis said yeah -> "what about genesis 1:28, go forth multiply and REplenish the earth?" -> there was a pre-adamic man -> that explains all the weirdo temples -> the english translators were very good with the king's english, so we now know the words "without form and void" should be "became a waste and a desolation" -> jeremiah, the fourth chapter, god gave him a vision and he saw the earth as a meeting place for the gods, the elohim -> there were no people but lots of cities and animals
...
alex: we are the nanotech of god

louis maxwell: god never created man -> in hebrew, man is "ish" -> [long digression] -> god said, "let us make man in our likeness," which implies man was already here -> god must have been talking to someone -> three men visited abraham and sarah and abraham bowed to them -> abraham insisted that they eat -> two of the men left -> the one that stayed was the almighty god the creator -> god walked and talked with adam

― Stephen King's Threaderstarter (kingfish), Thursday, 8 May 2014 15:26 (twelve years ago)
Yeah, I know it's all very funny, but most of these people (including Alex Jones) talk as if they're schizophrenic, or some other way impaired. I just spent a while in a psychiatric hospital and while I heard some stuff like this, I never heard it to this extent. And that's because it's a group of people giving each other positive feedback on their delusions. Which is sad, unhealthy and maybe dangerous.

“That is why today, when you get married, you get married before God. And the symbol of that God is the ring that is put on each other's fingers. The ring of Saturn. In the marriage phrases, one also begins to see what that has to do with Saturn. So when you get married, you get married with a ring and the symbol of that God is the ring, the ring of Saturn. You're wearing God's ring. And the yarmulke was the round ring that you wear on your head, for Saturn your God. Even in the middle ages, in the temples, Catholic monks would shave their heads in a round circle, and the Hebrews, instead of doing that, would wear the yarmulke. But it all had to do with the round rings of Saturn.”Jordan Maxwell, “Matrix of Power”

The gods of ELohim are angELs, the messengers of god. When witches cast a speEL, they put the “Hex” (6) on someone, and when chefs deep fry something, they “Deep 6” it. It is the ELites who run the world today. Elite comes from the “IsraElites” which came from the Egyptian worship of the Moon (Isis), the Sun, (Ra), and Saturn (Elohim), hence IsRaEl. Jews and Muslims alike worship a huge black cube/box called Kabba at Mecca. Their god YHWH is known as the “Tetragramaton” meaning their 4 letter (4 sided?) God. The “Kabballah” of Jewish mysticism/Masonry comes from KabbaAllah or “CubeGod” around which people gather and ceremonially walk in circles. Thus it can be said they are “circling the square.” Masons are also constantly referring to “circling the square” and “squaring the circle.” For instance, this is why a “boxing” match is fought for “rounds” in the “ring” but it is actually a 4 sided square arena with corners.

Yeah, I remember reading something about this a while back. It's like some folks have an Aspergers-like condition where they need explicit D&D rulesets for real-life, and will create them themselves if they don't find any.
It's an chronic inability to handle any ambiguity, any uncertainty, any mystery, any possible discrepancy, so there's got to be a place for everything and everything in its place, with explicit, externally reinforced rules and purposes for everything.

It happens in lots of mental illnesses - mania, psychotic episodes, schizophrenia etc. There's a sense in which everything is significant, everything is linked together (even if it's as simple as having 2 letters in common in a word). It's surprisingly overwhelming. I speak of my own experience with psychotic episodes and mania - but mine are mostly autonomously generated, personal - I don't know what I would be like with a resource like online conspiracy theorists to direct the delusions.

Black is both Saturn’s color and Satan’s color. The black holy bible tells us Satan is 666. Saturn is the 6th planet, its symbol is a 6pointed star, it supposedly has hexagon weather formations, and Saturnday the 6th day, is Ozzy Osbourne’s “Black Sabbath.” Also highlighting this theme, the Rolling “Stones” sang Paint it Black, Paint it Blue, Blue Turns to Grey, Black Angel, XXX and Sympathy for the Devil. A bruise is black and blue; bruise like the He“brews” whose longstanding secret societies are orchestrating this blue/black agenda. The 6th chakra, the pineal gland, the 3rd eye (all the same thing) is usually represented with the color blue, but they seem intent on Painting it Black. The Stones’ lyrics go,“I see a red door and I want it painted black, no colors anymore I want them to turn black. No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue … I want them to turn black.”When you’re hit you get a black eye (supposedly, though the bruise is usually other colors), but the real “black eye” is your 3rd eye; The chakra which should be colored blue, but they have changed to black. This most important organ has in recent centuries shrunk in size from about the size of a quarter, to the size of a pea. The Black Eyed Peas ironically sing a song called Third Eye with lyrics like,“I got three eyes, one look from the left side, the other from the right side, got one eye on the inside, and I can see you outside, plottin’ to come in.”Also in the same song,“If Bush is Pinocchio, who the hell is Gepetto? Beware of Gepetto. I could point out their behavior to keep y’immune from the poisonous flavor, but once you’re caught I can’t save ya, they’ll manipulate your mind so you enjoy danger.”The band Third Eye Blind has a song called Eye Conqueror.

Feel like a lot of the popularity of crazy conspiracy stuff these days is due to aging baby boomers who at one time were probably hippies or at least anti-authoritarian in some respects, who grew up in the 80s and had kids and started getting conservative, then eventually the kids leave the home around 2000s, 9/11 happens providing a whole new jolt for the conspiracy industry (biggest since JFK, possibly even bigger), hey here's a chance at your second adolescence, you're already gossiping and stuff w your friends on Facebook like you haven't done since you were in high school, also you are starting to slowly loose your mind as you get older, plus industry taking advantage of these people, who knows what they put in prescription drugs, the water supply, confusion about emerging technologies (boomers not growing up w computers the way millenial did), general distrust/rebellion, some latent embedded generational racism, mix it all up and wha-la. Senior Rebellion Phase.
Also in a funny way maybe this is also some kind of throwback to 70's occult explosion, pop culture nostalgia/historical revisionism has eaten up nearly everything previously derided as uncool in pop culture now we are quickly gnawing our way through unpop culture. Not culture but Cult. So esoteric stuff gets dug up and thrown together. Now if you read primary texts of this cult stuff they always warn about fooling with powers you don't understand and maybe the danger isn't that you will accidentally do a magic spell that turns your head into a tree but the misuse of symbols and subsequent commercialization of occult knowledge is creating a flood of misinformation, making it harder to tell what is true or not, flooding the world with things that sound more and more IMPORTANT and LIFE CHANGING and paradoxically making everything actually sound less and less like they make any sense or have anything to do with reality at all.

it's impossible to listen for very long or hang out on the infowars site for very long and not realize that jones and his crew are racist evil hateful people. there's the dead astronauts silliness and the almost lefty anti-banks material but the whole outlook is still based on hatred.
i think the insane conspiracies about a race of supermen blasting off into space, pulling all the strings from a reptilian command center make it less likely, even less likely than other right wing radio guys, right wing fringe guys to be able to connect with moderate or rational but concerned people on the left or even the right. once you go down the conspiracy rabbit hole, there's no need to justify or explain theories because they all go back to a grand unified theory of globalist domination and there's no opportunity to talk about shared whatever...
― dylannn, Tuesday, 20 May 2014 13:36 (twelve years ago)
i think the description of above of some jones listeners as older failed anti-everything 50something 60somethings is accurate but i get the feeling that most listeners are more likely to be 18-35 types, and unlike those described boomers really internet savvy i guess in the opposite way not unsure how to filter various texts and sources or whatever but rather completely distrusting of everything. and if you're 18-35 you grew up in a world without a like... centralized? media voice, or a trust in the media... everything is fake! what's the real truth behind this?????? and the alex jones program, which is mostly recycling stuff... 1950s anticommunist pamphlets stormfront readings of turner diaries and protocols of the elders of zion aging white male panic endoftheworld panic evangelic radio preaching adbusters antibanks... and it all gets recycled into this incoherent but new to you mix of bullshit that appeals to disaffected young men that lived through the shock of sept 11 over a decade of war propaganda and lies being exposed. so that's why you even get people running through alex jones' program and getting to "hey, if all this is true, ALEX HIMSELF MIGHT BE A REPTILIAN/mossad agent/cia operative" and they go further and further down.

True.
So much of conspiracist inclinations exhibited online or elsewhere strikes me not so much as "these people are stupid" as the kneejerk dismissal goes, but rather that "these people are victims" of either trauma or a destroyed culture or some authoritarian or marketer naturally taking advantage of them.
And this happens across the board with anybody of any subculture or political leaning.
This is balanced of course by the people who believe this stuff to justify their asshole inclinations/ideologies, but you get the idea.

I knew people in college who were psychotically delusional (believed they were the 2nd coming of Jesus in one case, determinined to unify all monotheistic faiths in another, related that agents were compelling them to masturbate in one on medication). I'm confident most of us have, and have learned that the compassionate response involves recommending psychiatric care, but avoiding further entanglement while they're in a delusional state.
Alex Jones was obviously a high-functioning psychotic the first time I became aware of him (some Linklater movie, I expect). So what the hell is wrong with Infowars viewers? I'm sure not all them are themselves psychotic. Do they simply have no personal experience with the mentally ill?

Although it may not be generally recognized, upon a close investigation it seems plain that the witches were a vast political movement, an organized society which was anti-social and anarchichal, a world-wide plot against civilization. Naturally, although the Masters were often individuals of high rank and deep learning, that rank and file of the society, that is to say, those who for the most part fell into the hands of justice, were recruited from the least educated classes, the ignorant and the poor. As one might suppose, many of the branches or covens in remoter districts knew nothing and perhaps could have understood nothing of the enormous system. Nevertheless, as small cogs in a very small wheel, it might be, they were carrying on the work and actively helping to spread the infection. It is an extremely significant fact that the last regularly official trial and execution for witchcraft in Western Europe was that of Anna Goeldi, who was hanged at Glaris in Switzerland, 17 June, 1782. Seven years before, in 1775, the villian Adam Weishaupt, who has been truly described by Louis Blac as “the profoundest conspirator that has ever existed,” formed his “terrible and formidable sect,” the Illuminati.

― The Spilling of a Sacred Beer (latebloomer), Monday, 5 March 2018 05:44 (eight years ago)
Before Alex Jones headed to court to face his ex-wife today, he told Infowars listeners that President Trump is part of an effort to fight against a sentient computer program that has decided to kill all humans.
This afternoon, Jones was speaking with a guest on his show when he declared that we are living in an “information apocalypse” where global elites “want to keep you in-the-moment confused.” Then, seemingly out of nowhere, he claimed that Trump is working with a group of people to defeat an automated intelligence computer program set on destroying humanity.
“This is already an A.I. system that made the decision to have a post-human world and Trump has jumped in with others and are saying, ‘No, we’re not doing it,’ at the elite level,” Jones said.
He quickly moved on, unfazed, and added that global elites “are really pissed about” Infowars “questioning the next false flag,” referring to his network’s infamous tendency to claim tragedies are staged events.

in that both Jones and Bernie are massive corporations built entirely on the exploitation of creators, who have spent two decades on one hand and a decade on the other actively destroying the media ecosystems in which they communicate, while simultaneously attempting to ameliorate that by enhancing pointless notions of tribal identity amongst their constituents, such that they think "Marvel vs DC" is a legitimate notion worth processing, yeah sure

I think local papers and television stations getting snatched up by conglomerates and serializing clickbait that has a very Jones-esque bent in an attempt to monetize sites, because his brand of garbage has the perception of higher audience engagement, is definitely one of the factors messing up the media ecosystem (publishers/writers/editors -> readers/viewers and the metaphorical ecological loop therein)

when did alex jones start doing his show with a lip in by the way? it's been a while since i watched. also, he's promoting a conspiracy-minded dating site now. great to see two of my favorite broadcasters together again.one of jones' talents is his ability to blast all of his talking points out at once but in this case, he gets upset that gavin is not playing ball and goes off into his personal history with lawyers and platform capitalism, but then i believe it's sexualization of kids that really puts him over the edge, right after this point here, after alex jones compares gavin to lee rogers who gavin seems to not be familiar with (he's a more antisemitic openly white supremacist jones knockoff): https://youtu.be/M5zwDvjMSLI?t=4165 gavin's response is: "i don't know anything about vaccines"alex jones: "will you pray with me?" right into a pitch for colloidal silver. alex jones later explains that antifa is motivated by "poontang," gavin disagrees, explaining that antifa loves "tranny porn" and many members are rapists.

I don't usually listen to This American Life, but while hanging at the airport I heard a piece (maybe a follow-up piece?) on Jones and his Sandy Hook truther followers. It was predictably disgusting, with one or two minor silver linings. But it was followed by a piece by Jon Ronson unravelling Jones's creation myth. The guy apparently regularly claims he moved to Austin from outside Dallas because he ratted out (during a school assembly) local police for dealing drugs, but interviews with classmates indicate that likely never happened. Turns out the real impetus (by many accounts) is that, no surprise, Jones was a bully and an agitator who one day beat the shit out of a classmate and left him with permanent damage; Jones' dad visited this kid in the hospital and paid his bills, or something to that extent. But time passed and Jones is invited to some house party, which turned out to be a setup, as friends of this injured kid jump *him* and beat the shit out of him, and apparently the humiliation is so bad his family had to move. As Ronson indicates, that might not be the exact truth, but it's much closer to the truth than what Jones has been pedaling.
The crazy (but not crazy) thing is that a lot of these former classmates of Jones calling BS are conspiracy theory assholes themselves. Even the one kid who got seriously beat up, who had no idea Alex Jones has a popular show and the ear of the president.
Anyway, unrelated to that he gives Ronson a statement re: Sandy Hook, and boy does it sound like someone put the fear of legal god in him. I hope the parents suing him leave him with nothing but vitamin suppositories.

But then does this:
Throwing fuel on the fire, Jones on Monday questioned the circumstances surrounding the death of Jeremy Richman, one of the Sandy Hook parents who is suing him for defamation in Connecticut, whose body was found that morning in the Newtown building where Richman, a neuroscientist, had created a foundation named for his daughter Avielle, to encourage brain research into the causes of violent behavior. The state's chief medical examiner ruled the death a suicide."I mean, how do I get a fair trial with stuff like this?," Jones said on InfoWars.

That apparently prompted Jones to blow up during his show Friday night, accusing Mattei of deliberately planting the child porn (the rant begins at the 2:33:30 timestamp, when Jones offers a $1 million reward to find and convict whoever sent the porn).“I like women with big giant tits and big asses,” Jones growled. “I don’t like kids like you goddamn rapists. Eff-heads.”Then the far-right commentator started yelling, “You fucks are going to get it.”“You fucks are going to get it,” he shouted. “You fucking child molesters. I’ll fucking get you in the end. You fucks.”Jones repeated his reward offer: “You’re trying to set me up with child porn, I’ll get your ass. One million dollars, you little gang members. One million dollars to put your head on a pike.”At another point during the segment (timestamp 2:37:23), Jones slammed his fist on a picture of Mattei and muttered, “I’m gonna ki…” and cuts himself off.“Anyway, I’m done,” Jones said. “Total war! You want it, you got it.”

Based on watching his video deposition, I'd say they have a solid chance of winning. Some obvious stuff: he said he had changed his mind on sandy hook a few years ago, but then ther were clips of him saying it was fake a few months ago. He says he didn't profit off his show, but then said the ads he ran on the show weren't part of the show. He said the decision making was done by a team of 3 people, but later said that he had the final say on everything.

He was featured in Jon Ronson's Adventures With Extremists in 2001. By then he was an established nutjob, but was unattached to right wing politics per se, and more focused on the ruling class at large.

i just came up with a conspiracy theory and it kind of makes sense, so i hope everyone will just start saying this and make it true:
what if alex jones lost this case on purpose, in this manner, to avoid setting a legal precedent that would negatively affect other crazy rightwing media people?
i remember being interested in this case back when it started, millions of years ago, because of that possibility. but he isn't being held liable for damages because of that, technically, it's because he didn't cooperate with the Discovery process:
A Texas judge ruled the far-right conspiracy theorist and Infowars host Alex Jones is liable for damages to families of children killed in the 2012 Newtown massacre in two lawsuits, after he repeatedly refused to produce documents for the court cases.The rulings are “default judgments”, or rare de facto losses, because of Jones’s repeated failure to comply with discovery, or the process of producing documents for a court case. The court will convene a jury to consider damages.“The court finds that defendants’ failure to comply … is greatly aggravated by [their] consistent pattern of discovery abuse throughout similar cases pending before this court,” wrote the Texas judge, Maya Guerra Gamble, in a judgment reported by CNN.“The court finds that defendants’ discovery conduct in this case is the result of flagrant bad faith and callous disregard for the responsibilities of discovery under the rule,” she wrote.

what i heard and what many people are saying is that he did this on purpose to help his lying friends

i've barely been following this case (just because obvious villains almost always get away with it in the united states, as far as i can tell), but people are saying he's "only" going to go bankrupt, or something, as the punishment.
my question. can a bankrupt alex jones just go out and get funding from some horrible asshole and start up infowars2 the next week? or are people who are made bankrupt by being a lying piece of shit somehow prevented from selling fake medical products and advising their listeners to die via ignorance?
― just staying (Karl Malone), Monday, 15 November 2021 16:43 (four years ago)
As much as I enjoy all the grim scenarios above, the real answer is that "because Mr. Jones refused to turn over documents ordered by the courts, including financial records, he was guilty by default".

On Infowars yesterday, Jones told his followers to come to the courthouse and protest what he called a "kangaroo court." No protesters are here.— Sebastian Murdock (@SebastianMurdoc) July 27, 2022
As for today so far, the Infowars producer who is being questioned by the prosecution was supposed to have reviewed all the videos that are being brought forward in evidence, and clearly hasn't. Even the judge has ripped into her. And remember, Jones is already guilty by default, this is about the monetary damage level, and I am willing to bet they have just fucked themselves over even more now.

A juror yesterday submitted the question twice along the lines of "Wouldn't an apology be more valuable than money?"
These two statements from one of the kids' fathers puts it well:
Ball asks if an apology is worth more than money: "Alex Jones's apologies are worthless. Any apology is insincere, and comes too late. He continued to recklessly do his carnival-barker act to peddle his propaganda and lies. I don't know if he's even capable of a sincere apology."— dan solomon (@dansolomon) August 2, 2022
Heslin says the money has to be "a strong deterrent to get him to stop peddling these lies."

I remember him playing one episode where he interviewed an unsuspecting Guardian journalist who had written an article about how maybe it's a good thing that the UK doesn't have a written constitution, I say interviewed but he was shouting at him calling him an idiot and worse until the man hung up.it is bizarre to think of the career this man has had since then.

lol, it took about 10 minutes to get him to say why he (last Friday!) published a photo of the Judge (the one sitting 2 feet to his left) on fire. After a bunch of hedging and claiming he knew nothing about it, he said that he thought the fire was "justice" and that the judge was being consumed in justice. ok, that's kinda funny

This Popehat piece is good.
When modern American political culture winds up in court, the... participants are speaking different languages, and using language in different ways. Courts are focused on a taxonomy of words. Are they factual? Are they opinion? Are they literal or figurative? Courts also care about the literal truth of words. That’s central to defamation law — it’s not defamatory unless it was false. Courts are about analysis, and the entire project of the law is about words meaning specific things.But modern American political culture is emotive and even artistic. It uses language like a musician uses notes or an impressionist uses brush strokes. Whether it’s Marjorie Taylor Greene talking about Bill Gates' efforts to colonize our bowels through "peach tree dishes" or Alex Jones ranting about gay frogs, modern politicians and pundits use language to convey feelings and attitudes and values, not specific meanings. If you demand Alex Jones defend the specific meaning of his words, it’s like demanding your eight-year-old defend his statement that his birthday party was the best day ever when previously that’s what he said about Disneyland. Trump was the Salvador Dali of this movement, his speeches full of melting clocks of ire and resentment. As an artist of lies he was prolific.I’m offering a descriptive observation, not a positive normative judgment. Truth exists. Truth matters. Even if Alex Jones’ broadcasts are dreamscapes of spleen, they have real-world effects. Some people take them literally and act accordingly, as we’ve seen as the parents of murdered children tell their harrowing stories of the harassment Jones encourages. And a society where words are unaccountable, where language is just us finger-painting with our own shit, is ungovernable and unlivable.The point is that courts are ill-equipped to deal with people like Alex Jones, and people like Alex Jones are ill-equipped to deal with courts. Jones’ catastrophic testimony in his own defense illustrates this. Jones struggled to fit his bombast within the framework of the law, within the distinction between fact and opinion. It’s a bad fit because that’s not how he uses words. If Jones had been honest — an utterly foreign concept to him — he might have said “I just go out there and say what I feel.” The notion that Sandy Hook was a hoax is a word-painting, a way of conveying Jones’ bottomless rage at politics and media and modernity, and he can no more defend it factually than Magritte could defend the logical necessity of a particular brushstroke.

xpost Yeah, that's good. It's even more complicated when someone's previous invoked abstract word art is cited in a strict legal setting. You hear Alex Jones say frogs make people gay, and the reasonable response is "what did he just say?" You cite it in court, and the challenge becomes delineating exactly what he *did* say. Is that legal proof that he is a liar, or a lunatic?
Reminds me of when my kids were younger and they would (for example) ask where I'd been, and I'd say, or, I was just having dinner on the moon. They would call that a lie, and I would say it's not a lie, because it could never be true.

it's one thing to try to convince others of this bullshit, who can use actual facts to refute them, where everyone gets frustrated and insists the other guy is wrong. what I don't get is how these people convince themselves. they're always wrong about everything. half the shit they say is utterly insane and all the "just you wait" shit never comes to fruition. and yet they never seem to do any self-reflection, cuz you can always convince yourself you were right all along somehow.

The notion that Sandy Hook was a hoax is a word-painting, a way of conveying Jones’ bottomless rage at politics and media and modernity, and he can no more defend it factually than Magritte could defend the logical necessity of a particular brushstroke.
This is a comically stupid take from someone I thought to be otherwise pretty intelligent. It's a trivial matter to take the statements Jones makes about Sandy Hook and "defend them factually". The defense fails not because he's T.S. Eliot or William Carlos Williams, it fails because he is making transparently and obviously untrue statements. Yeah, prose and poetry can be like surrealism or jazz is some ways. But in other ways, words are not at all like surrealism or jazz, in that they make testable assertions about reality. Jones lied, he knew he was lying, and bottomless rage (and huge profits) making you speak carelessly isn't a defense.

that passage is, to my reading, describing how unmoored from reality Jones' statements are, and that as a consequence Jones himself is not only unequipped to defend them factually, but unable to conceive of doing so. it's saying his words are not only prima facie indefensible in court, but that Jones is constitutionally incapable of mounting a defense. it's not supporting the notion of his words as art, it's saying the height of Jones' fuckedness is courtesy of his own petard.

i agree with the writer's overall point, but the art comparisons are fundamentally a mistake not least because intelligent visual language use in the art of, say, magritte, is high. also popular demagoguery and art come from very different places i think.

for a couple weeks in elementary school, everyone was playing rock paper scissors. there would be tournaments going on at recess, every recess. it was the height of competitive rock paper scissors in my life, and i think in the lives of most of us kids in that schoolyard. but then bart simpson came. rock beats scissors. scissors beats paper. paper beats rock. bart simpson beats rock, paper, and scissors. bart simpson began to be deployed as an option, leading to contested tourney results. first it was rare, then it became expected for it to happen in any game. but still there was a level of sportsmanship, in that you wouldn't do it more than once during a single day, because it was so clearly unfair. but then bulldozer was invented. bulldozer beats bart simpson. but arguably, bart simpson also beat bulldozer. that's when things really spiraled out of control, and the game had changed. i can still remember a kid from the earlier days, beating scissors with his rock. he raised up his clenched fist as high as he could, then brought it pulverizing down to the ground, then of course the fake explosion noise. classic victory. then just a few weeks later, BART SIMPSON! BULLDOZER! BART SIMPSON! BULLDOZER!

As the jury deliberates, two useful notes
Caught up with Bankston to ask about punitive damages cap- short answer is that he believes they can argue that the $750k cap doesn’t apply in this case because damages were guaranteed by the default, and is ready to challenge the constitutionality of the cap— dan solomon (@dansolomon) August 5, 2022
to set expectation: the jury will return a punitive damages verdict between a dollar and $145.9m. Either Judge Gamble or the appellate court will cap that at $750k and then it’ll either be challenged or dealt with in bankruptcy— dan solomon (@dansolomon) August 5, 2022

The wife of conservative radio host Alex Jones told Insider on Tuesday that she was "unaware" her husband sent a nude photo of her to former Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone. The illicit picture was among a trove of text messages that Jones' own lawyer accidentally turned over to opposing counsel in a defamation damages trial involving the parents of a Sandy Hook shooting victim.

Judge just threatened Jones and his attorney with contempt. Basically Jones would be answering a question, and just keep rambling so loudly and quickly beyond the scope of the question that his attorney couldn't object fast enough to stop Jones from spouting off. When the attorney explained the problem, the judge basically threw her hands up and said there is no way she can stop him from spouting off (which she has warned him about), let alone long enough to address each objection. In the end she essentially said, control your client, control yourself, or you both risk a contempt hearing.

Infowars founder Alex Jones lashed out as he testified in a tense Connecticut courtroom Thursday as part of a defamation trial that will determine how much he should pay to the relatives of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school massacre.The far-right conspiracy theorist and host, known for emotional outbursts on his shows, appeared frustrated at several points and said he would not make further apologies for popularizing the false claim that the shooting in Newtown, Conn., was a hoax.“Is this a struggle session? Are we in China?” Jones asked, referring to Maoist rallies where people were publicly humiliated, after an attorney for the plaintiffs, Chris Mattei, pointed out the victims’ family members in the courtroom. “I’ve already said I’m sorry hundreds of times, and I’m done saying I’m sorry.”...In the hours-long session, Jones used one of Mattei’s questions to plug the address of a website accepting cryptocurrency contributions. He also answered “no” to the question of whether his credibility was the most important thing to his audience, insisting that his focus was on “crushing the globalists.”“Alex Jones is probably the most unsympathetic litigant I’ve seen in quite a long period of time,” said Jessica Levinson, a law professor at Loyola Marymount University....In one exchange, Mattei accused Jones of putting targets on Sandy Hook parents’ backs, in an apparent reference to his claim that they were crisis actors. The attorney referenced parents in the courtroom, calling them “real people,” to which Jones responded: “Just like all the Iraqis you liberals killed and loved.”“You’re unbelievable. You switch on emotions, on and off, when you want. You’re just ambulance chasing,” Jones added.

I've never heard of Sabatini, but his track record of dead/failed/vetoed bills is impressive. Just about the only he managed to get passed was an act requiring the Governor to proclaim November 7 of each year as "Victims of Communism Day."

Early life and educationSabatini was born in Smithtown, New York, in 1988 and moved with his family to Florida the following year. In a high school photo, Sabatini and a friend were pictured in blackface. In his freshman year of college, he was photographed in brownface. He earned bachelor's degrees in philosophy and history from the University of Florida in 2012 and a Juris Doctor from the University of Florida Fredric G. Levin College of Law in 2017.

and later they sometimes change their minds with a lot of time and enough experience. often, for the latter? not really-- when given hope for their delusions, they right back on their shit.
focus on being being relentless, just, and giving them enough hopelessness, sense of (minimal) security, and retreat space to fucking GIVE. UP. ain't saying they deserve security and space, but seems like how it goes?

The ALAB series on Alex Jones is p good so far.
https://www.alabseries.com/episodes/alex-jonesminiseries-1
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 27 October 2022 08:58 (three years ago)
And for a podcast it's very well organised (I don't do podcasts but every now and then if the topic engages me I will give it a go and hate it, not the case this time).
- Didn't know his background but the level of invention in your history is something that seems quite deeply American.
- I really loved the first couple of series of the X-Files and this is kinda how I took what I heard of Jones. Just a 'wacko' full of fun conspiracy theories.
- Fun is the word and it's good that, even at this point, they acknowledge what a good broadcaster he was. He did something that was worth a listen.
- I didn't know he was talking about Bin Laden before 9/11 but I'm not sure how impressed I should be. I think if you kept up your knowledge about who American services were funding at one point, or certain operations (basically reading the fine print) then sooner or later you get onto something big.
Anyway I am still on that EP. Would've liked them to go more into Waco and the Oklahoma bombings, and how it might have been big events for the likes of Jones.

Been thinking a lot about how back in the 90's for me conspiracy thinking was fun shit like Bigfoot or aliens, coupled with a sort of laudatory skepticism of govt institutions. That world is long gone though and sadly even the most fun conspiracy theories seem to go back to racism if you dig deep enough into them.
― Daniel_Rf, Thursday, 27 October 2022 09:49 (three years ago)
The ep was good, a lot of stuff I didn’t know about as I’ve never really followed Jones. Was he really a “liberal darling” during the bush era? The ALAB hosts are otm that when Glenn says says this he is talking about Glenn but then they seem to agree that this actually applies to AJ. I’m sure his audience included lefter leaning burnout types back then but feel like “liberal darling” implies more than that
― Wiggum Dorma (wins), Thursday, 27 October 2022 10:32 (three years ago)
i felt they were saying more that yes, anti-bush types certainly sat back and enjoyed when jones was excoriating bush and he had chaos-clown's licence (despite being a hilarious nutjob) but no he was never actually a "liberal darling" (= glenn's claim, which they are repudiating)
― mark s, Thursday, 27 October 2022 10:47 (three years ago)

yeah i think about this a lot too, there was so much stuff in the 90s depicting conspiracy theories as a fun oddball personality quirk, generally harmless and often funny. whereas nowadays if a stranger starts telling me JFK is still alive or that the president is secretly an alien i get legit worried for my safety and try to get away as fast as possible. things like X Files and Slacker definitely hit differently for me now in that sense

Absolutely. When I rewatched X-Files last year, I supplemented it with ’90s episodes of Art Bell. It was very entertaining, but I refrained from googling the guests for fear of finding out they’ve moved on from believing in the Philadelphia Experiment and energy auras to MAGA shit. While I’m sure some of the guests were right-wing at the time, the show/theories always came across as apolitical in its kookiness.
― blatherskite, Thursday, 27 October 2022 16:17 (three years ago)
There’s obviously plenty of leftists still wary/against the government (with good reason), but it does seem that being anti-government has become a right-wing signifier. My partner (who’d never seen the X-Files) raised an eyebrow sometimes because the show seemed to vaguely right-wing, though that stuff really came from post-Watergate/counterculture skepticism. It certainly was a bit jarring to watch it now and realize that the main villain in the show was "the deep state", though one made up of bipartisan Cold Warriors rather than evil Dems.
― blatherskite, Thursday, 27 October 2022 16:30 (three years ago)
Mark Fenster’s Conspiracy Theories: Secrecy and Power in American Culture does a great job talking about X-Files and how Mulder pretty much was an investigator of this stuff not for emancipatory reasons, but for selfish ones. He also can’t just be an investigator about, he also has to write about it. There’s a compulsion inherent in the culture that you both consume and produce content about it, which is why you got so many blogs and zines and YouTube channels breathlessly recounting each other’s findings.
Also how the very 90s naïve idea that all that would be required to be justice or right a wrong would be to pull the mask away and show who the wrongdoer really was. Scooby Doo logic, and you can see how it still applies today as a LOT of people have never really be given a correct idea of what power is, how it works, and who actually holds it.

I used to work with a guy who was convinced that the main reason Hitler invaded Russia was for their hemp, he knew there was no chance of winning the war without that sweet, sweet soviet hemp
He was also a big Chomsky fan, and tried to convince me that all the major networks conspired to keep Chomsky off the airwaves because he spoke the unvarnished TRUTH, rather than him being a boring old blowhard
― Andy the Grasshopper, Thursday, 27 October 2022 17:18 (three years ago)
Funny that it never occurs to Mulder to tell the world about all the mutants, psychic killers etc. he encountered—he only cared about proving the existence of aliens, even though more people were killed throughout the series by the Monster of the Week than alien bounty hunters.
― blatherskite, Thursday, 27 October 2022 17:54 (three years ago)
I always preferred those early stand-alone freak-of-the-week episodes over the big deep-state/alien conspiracy story arc that ended up consuming the show
― Andy the Grasshopper, Thursday, 27 October 2022 18:06 (three years ago)
The little speech (around 45 mins) talking about the eventual degradation of trust between the public and its leaders, aligned to the growth in conspiracy -- all beginning with that Karmic parallel from Vedic literature -- was pretty convincing.

― Daniel_Rf, Friday, 28 October 2022 09:51 (three years ago)
the karmic fissure section was effective not least bcz the spaker (andy) is ordinarily the show's stand-out sardonic shitposter, viz the most likely to announce that something very bad is very good merely bcz it entertains him and let you unravel the layers (in fact he did just this at the start) -- this ep he had flu and was dosed up on like sudafed and just let the argument roll on flawlessly out thru cringe to content

Jones and Enlow’s tracking efforts seem to take place on days that Jones himself is conducting an affair. Jones contacts Enlow to monitor Erika Wulff Jones on days when he is also in touch with a woman named “Pat Johnson,” which is the alias he entered into his phone to represent an Austin-based married woman with whom he exchanges texts of an intimate nature. (As an example, Jones texted Pat Johnson on the morning of May 11, 2020, requesting “a sucky,” apparently asking her to give him oral sex.)
