Does anybody listen to Alex Jones??
I've recently started listening to his show and really do like it. :) So I'll have to tune into Mike Malloy in the archive. I was just wondering if anybody else listened to Jones like me.

His website
http://www.infowars.com On the left side at the top you can see a link. His show is on around 12-2pm eastern and then the rerun at 9-12pm eastern. It's tough to decide between him and Malloy but Malloy is archived and Jones isn't for free.

13. If you can't listen on the internet
he is on the shortwave at 3.210 MHz from 9:00 to 12:00 at night - replay.

Alex considers himself a conservative, but lately he's been sounding more like a Democrat. He is a little bit of a kook but not as bad as he was when I first heard him a few years ago. He really hates the Bushits.

While I listen to him occasionally he is a little over the top for me. He did lay out some eerie predictions before 9/11 that all came true so I don't totally discount him.

5. I'm an
Austinite and have listened to Alex Jones since about '96 (off and on). In those days, he conerned himself with stuff like the city raising people's property taxes too high... and one time, he took on the city over forcing an old lady to mow her grass. Now's he's taking on the entire New World Order. He's one of those types that if 2% of what he's says is true, we're in trouble. I've always thought of him more as entertainment than anything.

9. He's a rightwing crank who talks about conspiracies against "white men"
and is good friends with Holocaust deniers.

He's fucking nuts. He had Mel Gibson's psychotic father on as an "authority on the New World Order."

20. Do you know who Hutton Gibson is?
Edited on Mon Jun-06-05 10:49 PM by geek tragedy
Hutton Gibson is Mel's daddy, and is as rightwing and crazy as they get. We're talking "belongs in an institution crazy." Holocaust denier. Etc, etc.

How does Alex Jones describe him?

" A brilliant political mind and an expert on the New World Order."

http://www.infowars.com/archives/2004/Feb/02-04-04.htm

Hutton Gibson is a fucking Nazi nutbag. And Alex Jones thinks the world of him.

Hutton Gibson in his own words:

http://www.moviecitynews.com/notepad/2004/040303_npd.html

<snip>
Secondly there were not that many Jews under Hitler's power under his sway. They claimed that there were 6.2 million in Poland before the war and after the war there were 200,000 therefore he (Hitler) must have killed six million of them. They simply got up and left! They were all over the Bronx and Brooklyn and Sydney and Los Angeles.

Everybody was out to get Hitler…but you know he was not that efficient. I've known a lot of Germans. The society I went to school to were Germans and they were thorough they were good teachers. They were efficient and they know how to do things. If they had set out to kill six million Jews they would have done it. But all we hear about is Holocaust survivors. "Oh, we know it happened, cause over there is a survivor. Oh, my mother and father were survivors," they say.

This is absolutely ridiculous. And (the Holocaust) it's all - maybe not all fiction - but most of it is. For instance the gas chambers and crematoria at Auschwitz would not do the job. Do you know what it takes to get rid of a dead body? To cremate it? It takes a liter of petrol and 20 minutes - now six million of them? They (the Germans) did not have the gas to do it. That's why they lost the war.

Regarding the gas chamber, the gas was going the wrong way. You see it was going down instead of up….
<snip>

<snip>Steve Feuerstein
Why didn't FDR bomb the tracks?

Hutton Gibson
You see the concentration camps were filled with people who had to be fed. And when they did bomb the tracks they could not see them any more. And that's where you're supposed Holocaust came in. You see these were work camps. Guess who owned the railroads? The Jews…IG Farbin Industries was never touched it was making munitions and doing all things to keep them in the war…. The Group Works they also weren't bombed. All they had to do was bomb the group works but they were owned by the Jews. They owned the tracks and the banks so you don't bomb your own stuff. They owned the banking the banking system. Hitler's big crime was operating without the big banks (and the Jews). Just like Russia it had to go since it had no debt.

a damn about what he personally says and feels about someone like Gibson's father. I'm more interested in learning about things going on in the government now like with the Patriot Act and various other issues going on nobody else talks about. If Greg Palast (my favorite reporter) says he's good then I'm willing to listen. BBC Reporter Greg Palast: " this guy is a national treasure, a light breaking through the electronic Berlin Wall of the US media establishment."

26. Well, shame on Greg Palast for sucking up to rightwing nutjobs.
Alex Jones praises and gives a prominent platform to RIGHTWING HOLOCAUST DENIERS.

Anyone who does that is a rightwing asshole nutjob. He is an aider and abetter of the extreme right.

He suckers gullible leftists.

Why are you hijacking my thread with your hatered of someone? If you don't like him fine. I didn't ask if you liked him or not. I asked if you listened to him. It's my decision and my decision a lone to believe him or not and to listen to him or not. Not yours.

<snip>
Hana Brady was murdered at Auschwitz in February 1944. She was a 13-year-old Jewish girl from Czechoslovakia. Her fate was tragic. It's deplorable therefore that the Illuminati's Jewish wing is using it in a propaganda drive to advance its totalitarian Globalist agenda.

More deplorable, the same group may have been complicit in Hana's death. I will explain later.

In my opinion, the majority of Jews don't want a monopoly on suffering. International finance is foisting this on us through its control of most Jewish organizations.

16. I listen to Alex Jones on short-wave.
at 11:00 am CST. I have mixed feelings about him. He's waaaaaay tooo anti-abortion for me, but I think he is talking about things that most people with a microphone will not even come close to touching.

Discernment in the listener is the key, I think.

That's what I like about him. I could care less what he is personally with abortion. 60% of the American public is pro-choice so I doubt anything would ever change with that. Plus, what else would the republicans have to talk about? Heh.

19. It is
I used to think "this is so silly" but he was right with 9/11 and his information matches up with other docs I've seen with 9/11. He told on his show about the WTC 9/11 attack back in July of 2001. So I'm willing to listen. I always say "better to know and be safe then sorry."

<snip>
As long as they think they are disliked for no reason, Jews can be manipulated. Their actions create more anti-Semitism, and the vicious cycle continues.


ANOTHER LIE

Some "anti-Semitic" accusations indeed reflect the secret activities of Jewish power brokers. A glaring example came to my attention this week.
<snip>

<snip>
They reflect the fact that the Jewish Illuminati, specifically the international bankers and their many non-Jewish allies are imposing their control over the world, using the United Nations as a front.

Called globalism, this long-term agenda involves an assault on God, nation, democracy, race and family, the effect of which should be obvious. The aim is to replace the Christian foundations of Western civilization with a bizarre and dysfunctional Luciferian dogma. The human race has been hijacked with the goal of enslaving it.

The Illuminati operate under many guises including "world revolution" (Communism, feminism, liberalism, socialism), Zionism, neo conservatism, and secret societies like Freemasonry and George W. Bush's "Skull and Bones." The CIA, Mossad, foundations, think tanks, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the mass media are among its instruments.

35. Oh brother
You clearly are misreading this. First of all as long as anybody thinks they aren't liked by people they can be manipulated. If you don't give a damn that you're liked in this country or not you'll stand up for what you believe in. For example. I'm Christian but I'm for gay rights. If I worry all the time that other Christian's don't like me because I'm for gay rights I'll always be manipulated into thinking that way. At least my take on it.

The Bush gang and the NWO group are using the Muslims like Hitler used the Jews. To bring hatered against a group of people to carry out their own invidiual plans. That's the point. If you don't see it then that's your own fucking problem.

48. so don't call them the Illuminati . . . call them something else . . .
the Cabal, maybe . . . or Fred . . . whatever . . . the point is that there is indeed a band of super-rich individuals who basically run the world . . . determining who gets what resources, which wars to start, who lives and who dies -- and taking a whole lot for themselves . . . and we're not going to make any progress until we regognize this and form a true populist movement to counteract it . . .

49. Alex Jones is not credible
He has used as evidence in his conspiracy theories things that I know to be false.

I think he needs to be taken with more than a grain of salt. More like a mountain of salt.

51. I have looked into Alex Jones
at the urging of a neighbor

I watched a video of his on FSTV just a few days ago. The video used as a basis for it's conclusions something that I knew, through personal experience, to be false.

I am saying that Mr. Jones' credibility is suspect.

I'm not prepared to argue with you about this - you can take it or leave it.
