I respect Alex Jones on much of his work. As prisonplanet member, I tune into his show once a week as well as seen all of his documentrues. The guy is spot on when it comes to Texas Politics and the "Police State". I do however disagree with him on Peakoil and I am of mixed opinion on the depth of 9-11.

He doesn't bring up Peakoil very often but when he does his keypoints are memos from the oil company executives and the argument that oil in reserves plentiful. If you follow him regularlly it's not hard to know this guy has a full plate runnning a daily radio show, public access show, website and documentries. I think he would be up for a serious debate or maybe a show on Peakoil from some of the heavy hitters on this website.

Still, if I could give him the shirt off my back I would.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('AlCzervik', 'B')oth guys do great work, but it is extremely disappointing to see them deny basic math and science. What is strange about Palast is his self-rebuttal. I got the impression that he realized a huge portion of his fan base was pissed off and it probably embarrassed him that they let him know he knew so little about peak oil.
http://www.gnn.tv/articles/2297/Why_Palast_Is_Wrong
Here is the first article.
http://www.gnn.tv/articles/2295/No_Peak ... ert_Humbug

As for Alex Jones, I love the guy. Terrorstorm is a great introduction to government sponsored terror for those not aware of the concept. His criticism of both major political parties is really in line with a lot of the people that libertarian types love, like Ron Paul and Aaron Russo. The problem is that Alex's entire schtick is so anti-NWO that he can't accept something like peak oil. In his mind, it has to be a construct cooked up by the oil companies to jack up prices and for governments to consolidate power. I don't want to turn this into a Ruppert v. Jones debate, but Mike has it right to ask why would governments be going so crazy over the middle east right now, possibly staging terror attacks, and cooking up fake wars that could get them thrown in jail? The answer, of course, is something as civilization changing as declining energy supply. And that's why Mike is right on this one. Alex thinks the war on terror is just a cover to turn us all into serfs. He isn't completely wrong. A lot of the domestic moves by the elites such as the Patriot Act will certainly be used against us. But, that's because suburbia isn't going to be functioning the way it is now and the middle class will be pissed off, not because elites get off controlling the masses or anything like that. Here is the video Terrorstorm, in case anyone is interested.

Speaking of consolidation, Jones, Ruppert, Palast, suffer from an inability to converge reality tunnels. The very worst of the worst offenders,are Alexander Cockburn of Counterpunch and good old Gnome Chomsky. I admire them all very much--they all supply valuable pieces to the great puzzle of human endeavor and group behaviour. But they aren't particularly capable of thinking outside of their own 'outside the box'.

Chomsky has found a tidy, elegant but essentially sterile business model of political function that he likes. The fact that the govt is functioning more like a criminal syndicate than an "amoral conspiracy of common business interests" is beside the point, for Chomsky. His mind seems pretty made up.

Jones is a believer in overarching global conspiracy and ignores national and local interests and power and also geological problems like diminishing natural resources. Is it impossible to imagine elite forces being motivated by greed AND peak oil? Isn't a dual motivator more effective than a sole motivator? I guess not for Alex, who has also found a simple theory he likes and commands a lot of attention for. If he gave any ground to the peak oil idea, he would be conceding ground (gasp) to Ruppert.

These guys have staked out turf, in the neighbourhood of competing theories, and they would rather have their ideas shot down in flames than embrace another or (better yet) modify their original ideas, and incorporate a few new ones, as new information comes to light. It's a little like religion and there's a lot of ego there. In other words, they aren't much different than those they criticize for being close minded.

A person eager to understand the truth should seek out a person or people who will give others credit, aren't competetive intellectually and who will change their minds, on a dime, if evidence contradicting their own, becomes available.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('NEOPO', 'M')ost of us peakers are aware that Alex Jones and Greg Palast came out against PO.
For quite a while as I was dealing with PO personally I kept away from Alex and the gang and even 9/11 CT's et al. as I did not want anything to interfere with my understanding of Peak Oil and I of course did not want anyone to think I was nuttier then what telling someone about Peak Oil usually makes one seem.

When you go about trying to inform folks about peak oil you usually find a large number of people choosing to believe that its all about money/greed and alot of those people I considered to be smart or "not stupid" prior to my finding and understanding peak oil so how could I think that about them now that they did not "GET" peak oil?
Right - I could not.
So I will give this to Alex and try not allow it to tint the rest of prison planets/info wars offerings.
Greg Palast is another that has done some great work yet he cannot see beyond the oil veil.

As I came to "get" peak oil and turned it into a "got" the next logical step seemed to be to question the rest of the "crap" that it appeared We have and were being fed.
Its not like I never had a thought about WTF is actually going on here yet this time it was different and suddenly I realized that in my hands was the ability to pull upto 600k per second transfer rate 8)

Knowledge IS Power.

Needless to say as I attempted to "look deeper" I found Alex Jones/prison planet/infowars webpage news/videos/audio/youtube et al to be indespensible.

Lately, as I consume more Alex Jones info I am only left wondering WhyTF doesnt Alex get Peak Oil......
Its starting to really bother me to the point where I want to try and do something about it ;-)

So I have a little side project that I need some help with please - the Save Alex Jones Peak Oil Project - will attempt to provoke Alex to reconsider Peak Oil 8)

I have attempted contact with Alex et al.
Alex Jones infowars contact page
That is the contact Alex link and his address is near the bottom of the page as well.
I wonder if I could fed ex him my used copy of Twilight in the desert before xmas?
I know he has issues with Mike Ruppert but maybe not with Matt Simmons ;-)

Please if you do not enjoy Alex and or think he is a nut then simply do not contact him as I am sure he gets plenty of emails like that daily and probably has a real fast delete trigger finger....

That being said and without further ado...

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you, the Alex Jones thread!!!
*applause-o-matic*

Let's start it off with a recent video from prisonplanet.com:
NWO From The Mouths of The Elite

Easy enough so lets follow that up with something with alittle more edge:
The Perfect Terrorist Plan To Level The Twin Towers Created In 1976

The Audio interview related to the above article <--audio Link

Hmmmmmm...


Alex will cite Matt Simmon's membership in the CFR as proof Peak Oil is part of a global illuminati conspiracy.

FWIW, I contacted Alex 3-4 times to offer to explain the situation to him. Never heard back.

Here's why: Alex's persona is based on the idea that you and I can have a free enegy paradise once we get the Illuminati to release the black budget technologies that the oil companies are suppressing. It is a persona/ideology based on the propsect of increased freedom and prosperity once we "get the evildoers".

In the other hand, if Peak Oil is true it means most if not all of us going to be poor and desititute, likely starving with little ability to move around regardless of what happens to the global elite.

Which of these ideologies/personas do you think is going to be more popular and result in the proprietor accruing more political power?

Alex will never understand PO because his brain won't let him understand it. If it did he would lose popularity and political power. The brain is wired to seek politcal power, not the truth.

So it would seem Alex and I have a lot in common outside of PO. I emailed him 3-4 times last year offering to talk to him, go on his show, whatever, and never heard back.

Nobody, including Alex's readers/listeners, want to hear that their hopes and dreams are turning to dust. What they want to hear is their hopes and dreams are realizable, just as soon as we bring the illuminate to justice. Alex can't come to understand these issues or he will not be able to tell his listeners what they want to hear. So his brain has done and will continue to do a psyop on itself in regards to Peak Oil.

The brain is also wired to think it is pursuing the truth when it is really pursuing political power. This allows for the apparence of sincerity.

Most people you call "wingnuts" call themselves "truthseekers" when in reality they, like all of us, are "political power seekers."

I am glad to hear you are a 911 inside job believer also. I really enjoy your work. You, michael rupport and richard heinberg are my 3 favorite PO and 911 people. I recently heard richard is a 911 believer also. I am also a big alex jones fan, and wish he was a PO believer also. He could really spread the word regarding PO. If he has not gotten back with your PO inquiries, it really makes me wonder why ? Something doesnt add up with that.

Matt - You as much as anyone here should know that not everything or perhaps hardly anything is as it seems yet you repeatedly hold up the torch of modern science and most specifically the field of psychology as if we have not only arrived at Peak Oil but also arrived at the "peak" of understanding ourselves.

If anything we are infants attempting to walk for the first time.

This applies equally well across the board....Religion - Science - Politics etc etc.

An alien could watch the last 100 years in ultra fast forward and come away wondering just how long ago did we come down from the trees.......

If you want me to go along with the scientific position only then I will use the evolution card and suggest that MY TYPE is so evolved as to be beyond any current attempt to understand us muahahahahah ;-)

I wanted to and still do spread the word of PO beyond these halls.
You suggested that I also/or only wanted politial power......
Yeah I want the political power that surviving PO and being one of the ecovillage gardeners brings.....
"Ah yes we will control all food and then we will be kings!!"
"KINGS I SAY!!!"

I received a few credits in psychology as well my friend yet after a semester or two I was left feeling as if I had been shown about 1/10th of the pieces to a very big puzzle and that this was all of the pieces we have found to date.

How you walked away believing this stuff like a religion I will never know as you otherwise appear to be quite the open mind.

Everytime you start the human monkey talk I go "pffft!" right before I start to "shine" and fling dung at other peakers 8)

Stick with the legal angle bro - "they" only made psychology part of the curriculum as "filler" or so accountants knew when they were about to fly out of a 11th story window 8)

The collectivism of the Sheeple and the ignorance of people en masse I understand yet any attempt to apply these templates to all individuals is a grievous error IMHO.

Will you explain your own political ambitions now please?

Denial and rationalization I can understand.
Being immersed in other subjects to the point that you never really give some subjects a good look I can understand.
Alex seems to have the charisma to lead yet what do you imagine existed first???
The charisma or the leader?
The peoples desire for a leader or the leader?
The "need" for a leader or a leader?
Dig deep into that thought and you may see an error in the modern view of how our mind works.

Alex is in a position to capitolize on his popularity and may ultimately be pursuing political power yet it seems way over simplified to believe that all Alex ever wanted was to be king/politician/ruler.

If hatred for the current regime is the only prerequisite then everyone would be a politician sooner or later.....

The main goal is not power it is so the power will no longer be abused!!
Ya know its like we dont wanna fucking do it but these incompetent lil bitches screw up so bad that we have to do it!
They force anyone with sense to attempt to wrest the power away from them before we find ourselves bombing the hell out of someone, being bombed the hell out of ourselves or quite likely both.

Furthermore do you reckon our Past leaders and current neocon leaders were/are all 100% mentally stable creatures?
Do you reckon our shining examples of politicians to date are a somehow sufficient enough sample for the Scientific Psychologists to come to a final conclusion about anyone who seeks political power?

I know you see where I am going with this as we are there already.
Thats just a few of the alternative ways to view it man.
Seeing the situation we presently find ourselves in - alternative views might be the only thing that gets any of us beyond that which we are about to receive and you know that is true.

Can I get an Amen my Brothers and Sisters?! ;-)

I dedicate the following song to Alex Jones.
Preachers of Rock

It adds up perfectly. Just follow the money (and the political popularity.) What would happen to Alex's income and popularity if he started incorporating PO into his analysis? He would see his popularity and income drop although I suspect he would still be popular just not as much as he is now. The human brain is wired to acquire MORE not less power and resources. It would be counterproductive for Alex's brain to allow him to come to a conscious understanding of these facts.

I say, as with any author/commentator/figure, take what you like discard what you don't. So with somebody like Alex, I listen to most of what he says and take it relatively seriously. When he talks about PO or, as he has recently, has Jerome Corsi on his show I tune out.

Yes, he has had Jerome Corsi on recently! Why Alex would even touch somebody who is so obviously a political operative is beyond me. Who benefits if the Iranian ex-patriates Jerome is aligned with get their way? Well the western oil companies (who Alex hates) do as if the Iranian ex-patriates get their way the Iranian national oil company is out and the western oil companies are in. Not sure why Alex hasn't put these dots together. I mean the guy freakin wrote a book that helped the neocon-infested Bush admin stay in power. I doubt Alex is unaware of this.

I was thinking along the lines that Alex doesn't want to be in the PO corner because he doesn't want to lose any credibilty to his audience , since most people would not / do not want to know their way of life is about to change in a drastic way. Maybe Alex is in denial and doesnt want to face these facts either.

I was listening to a guy the other night on the jeff rense show, his name was lindsey williams. He is a baptist minister and he claims he lived up in prudhoe bay when the oil pipelines were being built and sat in on some of their meetings and overheard the globalists talk about their aganda. He said they have more oil than they know what to do with, and it is abiotic in nature. I fell asleep during the last part and havent listened to the archive yet. He is a firm believer PO is a scam. Are these people this stupid, or are they propagandists for the oil companies ? I cant believe rense is anti PO , especially when he was kissing rupports rear a couple years ago on his show.

I think its all pretty simple.Jones and Rense are not in the truth business at all.They are in show business.They only talk about what fits into their anti -NWO agenda.Anything else is just censored out.

Not surprised that they ignore people like Matt Savinar who try to explain the PO point of view.Dont bother them with facts, their minds are already made up.

Not quite true. Rense and Jones actually tell more truth than un-truth. They are just mislead into the abiotic theory. But , all in all, they are on the good guys side of most issues. I am also not into Rense's alien and ghost crap either.

I used to think that these guys were just misled too.Anyone who has listened for any period of time to Rense in particular, will know that he is a smart guy.Too smart not to be fully briefed on PO as a simple peaking of production issue, along with the economic havoc it will create.

I think he chooses not to discuss it, in any way, not even providing a debate.At least Noory had an on-air live debate a while back.(Ruppert vs Corsi).Being good guys on most issues isn't good enough.The fact that these two high profile anti-MSM commentators completely ignore peak oil as a reality smells bad, real bad.I dont know what there real motive is, but I don't think its good.

Rense had Ruppert on a couple years, and it seemed Rupport had him believing in PO. But Alex Jones has been on his program regularly and convinced him and Noory that PO is false, and that it is abiotic. Corsi comes on coast to coast and spews his non sense also. So , I guess Jones and Corsi were more convincing to Noory and Rense than the PO people on this debate imo.

If you have been following this thread I mentioned about the interview with Lindsay Williams. I finished listening to the final part last night. He said there is a place up in Alaska that has enough oil to make the US energy independent. I have always thought the US may save a couple huge areas for when oil runs out elsewhere in the world. BUT, no matter how big a reserve is, and I don't care if it is the largest in the world, the extraction rate is the key. Even if it holds 50 billion barrels, it may only produce 2 mbpd at best. This is what I feel they are missing. It has nothing to do with the quantity, it is all about the extraction rate.

That's astonishing Matt. Alex usually gives amazing amount of lattitude to folks who differ with him on air. Case in point, last year when they had one of the authors of the Popular Mechanics debunk 9-11 report. Or when Mancow put him on the air with Rumsfeld. Perhaps you might try calling in his public access show. That would be a heck of a show if he had you on. It's not like Peakoil is one of those uhhh how does as Alex puts it- "Chinese Jet Pilots from Mars" subjects. Just ask to present your facts.

BUT, no matter how big a reserve is, and I don't care if it is the largest in the world, the extraction rate is the key. Even if it holds 50 billion barrels, it may only produce 2 mbpd at best. This is what I feel they are missing. It has nothing to do with the quantity, it is all about the extraction rate.


Exactly! He never addresses how much of that is light sweet, the infrastructure to bring it on line, refinery capacity, or how little it really amounts to compared to the demand in just America alone.

As prisonplanet member, I tune into his show once a week as well as seen all of his documentrues. The guy is spot on when it comes to Texas Politics and the "Police State". I do however disagree with him on Peakoil and I am of mixed opinion on the depth of 9-11.

He doesn't bring up Peakoil very often but when he does his keypoints are memos from the oil company executives and the argument that oil in reserves plentiful. If you follow him regularlly it's not hard to know this guy has a full plate runnning a daily radio show, public access show, website and documentries. I think he would be up for a serious debate or maybe a show on Peakoil from some of the heavy hitters on this website.

Still, if I could give him the shirt off my back I would.


I too really, really like Alex. I've been on Coast to Coast three times. I believe 9/11 to be an inside job. I too think the elite are planning some pretty nefarious things. So it would seem Alex and I have a lot in common outside of PO. I emailed him 3-4 times last year offering to talk to him, go on his show, whatever, and never heard back.

Nobody, including Alex's readers/listeners, want to hear that their hopes and dreams are turning to dust. What they want to hear is their hopes and dreams are realizable, just as soon as we bring the illuminate to justice. Alex can't come to understand these issues or he will not be able to tell his listeners what they want to hear. So his brain has done and will continue to do a psyop on itself in regards to Peak Oil.


I am glad to hear you are a 911 inside job believer also. I really enjoy your work. You, michael rupport and richard heinberg are my 3 favorite PO and 911 people. I recently heard richard is a 911 believer also. I am also a big alex jones fan, and wish he was a PO believer also. He could really spread the word regarding PO. If he has not gotten back with your PO inquiries, it really makes me wonder why ? Something doesnt add up with that.


It adds up perfectly. Just follow the money (and the political popularity.) What would happen to Alex's income and popularity if he started incorporating PO into his analysis? He would see his popularity and income drop although I suspect he would still be popular just not as much as he is now. The human brain is wired to acquire MORE not less power and resources. It would be counterproductive for Alex's brain to allow him to come to a conscious understanding of these facts.

I say, as with any author/commentator/figure, take what you like discard what you don't. So with somebody like Alex, I listen to most of what he says and take it relatively seriously. When he talks about PO or, as he has recently, has Jerome Corsi on his show I tune out.

Yes, he has had Jerome Corsi on recently! Why Alex would even touch somebody who is so obviously a political operative is beyond me. Who benefits if the Iranian ex-patriates Jerome is aligned with get their way? Well the western oil companies (who Alex hates) do as if the Iranian ex-patriates get their way the Iranian national oil company is out and the western oil companies are in. Not sure why Alex hasn't put these dots together. I mean the guy freakin wrote a book that helped the neocon-infested Bush admin stay in power. I doubt Alex is unaware of this.


TWO OBSERVATIONS
1.Embracing 911 truth was something only a few peakers have done to date and thankfully Heinberg and the others came out with Oil smoke and mirrors.
PO is our sacred cow and many didnt want to infect it with CT.
So to say this only applies to CT seekers of "political power" is asinine UNLESS someone would like to start explaining the political reasons why we are ALL here because that is exactly what this mentality assumes.

2.HOW fair and balanced would anything seem if the opposing position was not presented?
I would enjoy being able to interview a top elite yet would that make me an elite or a sponsor of elitism? no it would not.
Knowing what I know now I would take Prof. Gold and abiotic oil on right here and right now ;-)

It is an explanation but it is not correct and assumes way too much for me to believe.
I use to have a real problem with anti peakers being allowed to be so vocal on this site yet over time I realized that it was these people who stimulated the rest of us to learn and to sharpen our debating skills.
That is not the anti peaker goal but it is usually the outcome.

If I were to run with this political power idea I would begin to wonder this about everyone....
Aaron? Monte?Dan?
What Evil scheme are you Illluminated ones upto I wonder?!?!?!? 8)

Garden girl!!!
She is the goddess they worship!! ;-)
It is pure paranoia if you ask me.

Please explain further Matt....
What are your political goals?

I wonder if any one of us can ever view the big picture all at once.
It seems that people like Alex Jones, Matt Savinar and Mike Ruppert all see a large part of the big picture yet I am starting to believe that neither they nor any one of us is capable of conceiving everything and seeing all.

Yet many try - many seem to think or believe that they somehow have it all figured out.
I will personally attempt to continue to learn.

Alex Jones as well as Matt Savinar helped me to expand my mind.
Does Matt have his own thread here because he deserves one ;-)

Alex Jones not saying peak oil is like Monte or Aaron not aligning with 911 truth...big deal...I still agree with 95%+ of what they are saying and there doesnt have to be a political power motive behind it.........

Disclaimer - not suggesting that anyone is still fooled by the official version of 911 but that certain people seem apprehensive and alot less vocal about certain sensitive or even peak oil "tarnishing" subjects ;-)

Even though I am getting little response to my words I hope someone is listening and would still appreciate that Peak oil Amen anytime.....

Peakoil, immegration, civil rights weak dollar, war in iraq, the police state, 9-11:The human mind can absorb that much doom. The fusebox blows, the mind shuts the valve under the pressure.
