So no one has a well-reasoned and logical response to what I said? You've got nothing but cartoons and parroting of cartoons? Seriously?

Does Jones present the information as though it is the known verified facts, or is he just presenting it in the spirit of "Look at this"? I don't have a problem with "Look at this" although some people just accept that as a fact and don't do their own follow-up.

Uhhh....Jones is pretty much the Jim Cramer of conspiracy loons. "I know exactly what's going on in the world. All of my ideas are irrefutable biblical truth, and I'm going to yell them at you really loud! I said really LOUD!"

In my opinion, he exaggerates quite a bit but there is a lot of truth there. Critical thinking and reading between the lines is key. Still, I find info there and every news source that I read/listen to has a slant, so you can't exactly throw the baby out with the bathwater.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('mos6507', 'T')he fact of the matter is that Alex Jones is not a true journalistic news source. That his sites would even publish the crap about the camera in the cable box without it passing through some kind of bullsh*t detector shows that, let alone his outspoken global warming and peak oil denial. If you are addicted to being fed a steady stream of propaganda that makes the US government or big corporations look like the anti-christ, then I can understand why you'd be hooked on Alex Jones, but he just does not even have as much journalistic integrity as the MSM that he maligns.
wow, he went to the same high school I did (Anderson High in Austin, Texas) albeit fifteen years later...well, that explains it...

Hehe, he is a loon. He doesn't quite take that tone, SPG, but he is passionate. People who dissent with him go to the front of his call waiting list. He admits he makes mistakes too. He is truthful with his listeners, I think, but he's also human. He gives away everything he does for free and the man has a family.
I think it is true that if you don't go to his site, you risk missing out on information (unless it is reposted some place like here). I don't agree with the assertion that he can justifiably be completely discredited. His actions just don't warrant it due to the positive things he accomplishes like getting info out to us.
It's funny to me that lots of people who evidently despise him respond with "OMG, I can't believe this! They will never do this to me!" to the posts I make with documents about our government actions that Alex provided. People don't seem to be so hateful then.

Right now Alex lives in the same neighborhood as the police chief, Art Acevedo, but I don't know where that is. They rap about that when the chief goes on his show though.
That's hilarious. Although I can't see Alex grabbing a toy monkey and slamming its cymbals together while jumping up and down... But I do agree with Jota that Alex has a solid record with mundane matters like gun control issues, say. I just zone out the fringe material, when/if it makes its appearance here, that is. Actually I count on this site to keep me up-to-date with obscure stories. If Alex is saying that some Black Ops is conducting an assault on his servers...well, that would be par for the course.
