this Alex Jones shit used to be funny until all the cranks, racist grandparents and internet libertarians flooded social media and it became apparent that this bs really strikes a chord with a frighteningly large number of people

Some of the language/word-homonym stuff sounds like the exact same tortured thinking of sovereign citizen types. I wonder of much of this is just exhibiting symptoms of schizophrenic thinking.
― Stephen King's Threaderstarter (kingfish), Thursday, 8 May 2014 15:26 (ten years ago) link
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.

When I was young all the cool freaky types were into the Illuminatus Trilogy and it seemed like fun (we even had the card game) but after the OK City bombing all that stuff started to creep me out

IDK Illuminatus is so hippy-dippy and obviously tongue in cheek. Compared to the Alex Joneses and David Ickes of the world, it's nothing.

the worst thing about alex jones is that his nutcasery detracts from the fact that there are seriously fucking evil people out there exploiting & dominating the world's public in breathtaking & abysmal ways

he was planted there to make money and provide a release valve for paranoid frustration that might otherwise turn people into problems, but not by a conspiracy. when it comes to autogenerated safety systems i believe in the Hand.

my favorite discovery from the regular guests is jordan maxwell, who is on some next level shit.
his favorite moves:
* BREAKING DOWN THE MEANING OF EVERYDAY WORDS... "if you want to build a two story house, and you want to put a lot of weight on the top floor, you need to go down and look at the first floor... you need to stand under to understand." / "romans used to have a sewer called the SYSTEM... now, we have school systems" and fake etymology of greek and latin words (like drawing a line between corpse and corporation last night)
* OFF WORLD ENTITIES FEEDING US INTELLIGENCE
* MISQUOTED BIBLE VERSES
someone has gone to the trouble of debunking him in an hourlong youtube video:

Miller: A lot o' people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch o' unconnected incidents 'n things. They don't realize that there's this, like, lattice o' coincidence that lays on top o' everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.Otto: You eat a lot of acid, Miller, back in the hippie days?Miller: I'll give you another instance: you know how everybody's into weirdness right now?...

Yeah, this is what I meant. There's something in the weird hyper-obsession over words and sounding them out to get at a hidden gnosis or some shit that makes me wonder how much of this is manifested schizoid-ish behaviour.

earlier tonight, a middle aged white guy, snapbutton western shirt tucked into navy sweatpants, was in front of wal-mart handing out fliers about fluoridation of water. i tried to catch his eye on my way in. part of me thought hey, i wonder what new world order theory crew he's with, let's have a long chat about reptilians. but i reconsidered while buying my plastic tub of baby chard and on the way out i was going to breeze past him but he was already involved in a conversation with a suntanned couple pushing an aerodynamic baby stroller (probably antivacciners).

“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”
