Alex Jones

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.

At a recent pretrial hearing, attorney Randall Wilhite told state District Judge Orlinda Naranjo that using his client Alex Jones’ on-air Infowars persona to evaluate Alex Jones as a father would be like judging Jack Nicholson in a custody dispute based on his performance as the Joker in “Batman.”
“He’s playing a character,” Wilhite said of Jones. “He is a performance artist.”

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.

between twitter just blowing away thousands of trolls unannounced and this self-inflected derp by youtube (after completely fucking up a billion other things, logan paul and pewdiepie among them), it seems that our huge incumbent american advertising pushers tech firms are just determined to make everyone hate them enough to finally get regulated. GG, YT

illuminati getting it right

I mean I'm not about to cry any tears over this phenomenal douchebag losing an outlet but at what point do these much-touted rich as fuck techbro firms come up with a moderation policy that isn't basically beating on a laptop with hulk hands and then wondering how the reporters got this phone number

idk guys looks like something alex jones thinks is happening is not in fact happening

Damn looks like they got to nashwan too

It's shocking when those who've benefited wildly from rubbing the lamp without concern for the implications later prove to be ineffectual at coaxing the genie back to where he came from.

story of the human race

LOL Alex Jones did a false flag about his own YouTube

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.

Isn't that something he's nicked from AI theory, called 'the Basilisk'?

Apparently he chased "King of Communism" Bernie Sanders down in an airport today, video tonight on his show

Seeing that in the airport must've really felt like a Marvel vs DC moment

I couldnt even get past the introduction.

Bernie's face in the still I've seen is the perfect reaction to realizing you're being faced with Alex Jones in an airport.

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

maybe you just mean that Jones is Funky Flashman thinking he's Godfrey though

xpost

^^^ pvmic

I mean, if you're going to have opinions about Bernie Sanders

So glad someone finally had the bravery to point out the glaring equivalence between these two. I mean, they're practically clones, for gosh sake.

late to the party on this one by some six years or so but i can't not share lonely alex jones just thinking baout things

6 years ago when he was a youthful 36 years old

Alex Jones is of an age where he could be my slightly older brother but appears to be of an age where he could be my dad's much, much older brother.

a steady diet of shirtless rage and carginogenic dick pills will do that to a man

he would have been in high school at the same time as i was and he looks like my extremely unhealthy mississippi chud dad who just turned 69

careful kids, this is what happens when you OD on the Red Pill

xxpost So I should cut back is what you're saying.

or at the very least be fully aware of the consequences of your choices, i guess

(considers the prospect of rapidly devolving into a seething grudge plug on the perpetual cusp of catastrophic rupture) Nah, I'm good.

actively destroying the media ecosystems

lol ok people that are on tv all the time and get a million stories written about them are destroying the media which is pulling in record high profits.

the closest shop to me went bust in January after 42 years downtown, and only got one TV story on a local news affiliate, about the fact they had already gone bust. maybe they have Dan Buckley on all the time on national TV but I haven't seen it - do you have any links?

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)

and yes, having a million stories written about Alex Jones, and people thinking that's a good use of resources, is messing things up

Just found a Kate Spade / Illuminati theory on Twitter, btw

Alex Jones you better / watch your speed
