Alex Jones

I don't know what AJ has said on the air about it, but Infowars has stuff like this:

fuck this guy

still can't wrap my head around the fact that he just turned 40 this year

ha I first in '98 when I moved to Austin. mfw I found out he was 25.

oh, he sounded and looked pretty much the exact same, important detail.

That's crazy, I thought he'd been a fixture in Austin since the 80s, but I guess not. Part of that may be due to me thinking he had been in the film Slacker, but he wasn't.

he's in Waking Life

And Scanner Darkly

He was Wooderson in Dazed and Confused. No, he was.

was linklater a fan or was it more just "here is another austin weirdo" thing?

and was he as dangerous/awful back then as he is now?

Part of the reason I thought Jones was in Slacker is that there were a bunch of characters in the film with similarly wacko conspiracy theories. So I guess that type of personality was attracted Linklater even before Jones.

Jones' shtick has always been the same, he's just gained popularity over time.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

i still can't get over the fact that this idiot is only like 2 years older than i am. he looks older than my dad.

is that what happens to your face when OD on the red pill

i tried watching an episode for laughs but it got super racist really fast.

he is either

1) a professional wrestler who somehow wandered to the news and editorial desk

2) completely unhinged

3) on an unsafe number and type of pills

4) all of the above

mostly 2? and he's a little bit true believer and a lot savvy media personality.
on the radio, his rants especially if you're on an unsafe number and type of pills are pretty hypnotic/entertaining like listening in to... i dunno?? like a good dose of that coast to coast am spooky shit + black helicopters, reptilians controlling society. and he's usually so far out there that he is willing to rant about politics on right and left and in fact i think pulls in a lot of stoned left leaning kids that aren't into normal right wing political talking points. aj being a thing normal people know about thru actual media burn and shit is pretty depressing, though.

Alex Jones Discovers A Temple to Evil! While driving threw Houston Texas Alex noticed the George H W Bush monument and got out to investigate and report.

i think the trump stuff is mostly opportunism. he's really tapping into the /pol/ demographic.

I believe it based on my memories of Jones back then and people who were in Austin more regularly, but I don't think you can discount him saying it long enough and often enough that he bought in.

Doesn't matter, does it? The point is none of these people starts out believing in it. One in a hundred thousand or so goes Marjoe Gortner out of some desire for redemption but nobody ever learns anything.

I mean after all the craven cultist hucksters we've seen and learned about in just our own lifetimes, nothing's changed about these people or the default respect we treat them and their worshippers with.

"26"

Maybe he's a time traveler from the mid-20th Century. I feel the same level of disbelief anytime people in old movies reveal an age that is wildly discrepant with their booze & tobacco-ravaged mugs.

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?

Hey Sanpaku, good post. I have a friend who used to be really into Infowars to a disturbing degree, and my observation is that he was an isolated stoner hermit and this particular brand of paranoia seemed to give him some outlet to place his existential angst. FWIW I'm bipolar and have spent time in facilities where the kind of talk conspiracy theorists use was rampant, and he's aware that I was mentally ill at the time.

Old school Jones. The Panama Canal was being given to the Chinese because they're one of David Rockefeller's vassal states.

He issued an apology to the Comet Ping Pong dude! I can only assume this means he's getting sued.

I went over to r/conspiracy to see how folks are reacting and immediately regretted it - of fucking course they're tying the disappearances of black teenagers in the DC area to this. Which are apparently not actually an increase, it's just that the DC police are using social media more to try to find the kids and it's been blown vastly out of proportion.
