Alex Jones: An interesting Perspective.
My friend has completed an interesting piece on Jones and Prison Planet.

After trawling around the net. I could find nothing decent by way of investigation on Jones until the author contacted myself and yeah, it's really interesting and I dare say I agree with much in it.

It's pretty rough in parts and he admits it needs some work and he also had problems with the links, hence the font size and so fourth. You can find the other rough parts there as well. The rough on John Hankey (the worst JFK researcher of all time) has been turned into an essay which will be up on CTKA in a few days.

Anyhow. I think that with a bit of tinkering it could answer a few questions and doubts about Jones at the very least.

1. Entertaining link.

IMO Jones is a disinfo agent, one can waver on his awareness.

As soon as one goes "Satanic" or "Freemason" -- I have no connection except reading popular pseudo-scientific lit and have a copy of Pike's Morals and Dogma -- any realism other than confusion of the weak-minded and culturally brainwashed is nil.

Also IMO Jones may very well have no idea of his role in disinfo but he makes a paycheck and probably what he publishes is hardwired in his mindset by genetics, environment, and re-enforcement.

I find Jones interesting as his genre of media mixes reality with mysticism and wing nut.

This makes our lives richer but I wish humans and our leaders would get serious about material reality and the Golden Rule.

2. Yes. I agree.
Where the author of the piece is coming from is is that
he is frustrated at Jones and his kinds disregard for real research but love of flashy headlines.
It sets real researchers back years with Jones's type of hoo ha!

5. If you actually read it you would understand the 'Beef'
Beef with Alex Jones.

Did you read the piece. Then you may have actually learnt why CTKA dislikes Alex Jones.

If you have read it then give me reason why it should not be up or if its unfair.

Alex Jones is an abomination in my field and anybody who supports John Hankey and Barr McClellan's pack of lies
as far as the JFK assassination goes is doing a massive disservice to REAL RESEARCHERS who CTKA represent.

Not jerk off paranoics.

Read the piece about Paul Joseph Watson's god awful book.

That was eye opening.

In fact just read the piece.

4. I will give Jones this much: he has kept some legit news reports for falling into
the memory hole. Michael Moore does the same, but in a different, more leftist way. When the right considers Moore's films, they just attack him personally, but it's very difficult to argue with the reality of the video clips used in his films.
