Too Much Alex Jones on 12160 ?

A MESSAGE TO THE SITE ADMINS - MEMBER NAME WITH HELD

Rather than make a public statement, this message is just for you, James, from me. Forgive me for my blunt directness, but this is how I think about this issue.

Alex Jones has his own shows, channel, and staff, and his following is quite large. If I want AJ's interpretation (or more likely his handlers' instructed interpretation), a lot of which is fear porn in my opinion, I will read/watch/listen to his articles at his site(s).

If one sticks to the very base bare facts, oftentimes AJ presents material that other sites don't. The problem is the manner in which he presents the information, continually editorializing and sometimes lacking verification and leaving out significant facts, intending hopeless dismay at the very least, and fear-based insurrection at the very worst.

This style does not present both sides; it presents one side, as well as how his handlers want the public to think. Fortunately, people are continually waking, and this transparent "tell them how and what to think" style is less and less acceptable to critically thinking people.

Every time I see another AJ article on 12160's site, I see more pollution of the purer alternative view that was once present here. Yes, it is my choice to skip the AJ articles here and I do skip them, but I do wonder why anyone feels the need to repeat articles here that already have a well known setting.

Thanks for listening.

It's quite alright brother. It's good to vet things out, especially when it's an anonymous hit and run. We have no choice but to try and interpret what the OP actually meant.

I know there are a lot of forums who think AJ is a plant/disinfo agent. I'm on one that starts with G and ends with P where you get banned for posting about AJ. I think that's patently ridiculous. Agree with him or not, he produces a lot of information and has an interesting take on things. Yes, he's over the top a lot of the time however there are times when I've thought he was exaggerating and later found out he was spot on. I think he provides a lot of interesting commentary on issues and love him or hate him, he is getting linked on Drudge and is getting the information out to the general populace. From my perspective, if you don't like his message, don't read those articles.

I watch all kinds of sites including a lot of different groups on Facebook to get my info. The forums I mentioned above provide a lot of interesting info. So does the Intel Hub and Ground Zero. I like checking Quayle and Deyo too and I even read Rense from time to time. There's a LOT of information out there. I think it's silly to block sources. If you have info from another source, post it! Don't tell others not to post info from a source.

I have been lucky enough to be aware of some of this back in the 60's,long before alex Jones or rush and others. I am glad to hear them and see them get passionate as we well need to be. Call it fear mongering if you like,I share their in your face style. If this is the only way to wake a few more then it works. Our gov. is clearly out of control and guided by Billionaire zionist hell bent on the destruction of the US and a major termination of it's people. it is good you pop in and out of said discussions.Even me, I have been researching the Koran to know my enemy. I have friends that are muslim. Alex at times get's himself worked up, and mad at all this,we need more like him actually. I am a pilot, I learned to fly by repeated training. There new people joining in so the same thing needs to be broadcast for all to hear. You,we,have a brain to accept or not what all is said. We all are not brain dead just yet,maybe not so far away.

People call it fear-mongering because they're scared little sissy flakes. Oh and they can't handle the truth.

Good reply btw :)

So the question is, "Is there too much Alex Jones on this site?" I will say that he isn't right all the time and there are some things I may disagree with him on but his message on the hole is pretty right on the truth.

Does he go too far down the rabbit hole? Yes he does, but he is trying to get peoples attention and wake the up to the trouble that we, and the rest of the world are in. I have listened to Mike Savage, David IKE, (who I thought was pretty weird) but listened to him talk about the Lizard people, ect,anyway, and found that he did have some valid points that humanity was waking up, but of all the people that make the most sense of all that is coming upon the world I would have to say that AJ is the man and is one of the best teachers on the web if you are a real truth seeker. He call a spade, a spade and tells it like it is and he is risking his life to give us the news he gives us, proudly and self-righteously but righteous none the less. I never knew about "false flags until I heard him talk about, now everybody talks about false flags., besides, if you start censoring Alex off this site it will be the end because Alex will only be a starting point after him , whose next, maybe it will be "MEMBER NAME WITH HELD".

2 minutes 32 seconds about all I can handle from the egomaniac, great for being the first on a breaking non-msm story, but then after that, I look elsewhere for related articles, the guy just likes to hear himself talk alot, and I don't want to hear it. Basically, he's here, if ya want to enjoy the rants and babblings, go for it, if not, CHANGE THE CHANNEL, I do ;) Last time I checked, people still have some choices of their own.

Yes, I concur with that also but I have my moods. Sometimes I like to listen to George Noory. It would be nice if Alex would let his audience have their say instead of ranting so much. Well, we all have lessons to learn.

I would not expect 12160 to stop linking to Alex.

I was the 10th person to sign up at the original 12160mhz site, among James aka ADAP2K, Lasershadow, Greg and the others, we were setting up a lifeboat for the Infowars Social Network when it choked with overload.

12160 Mhz is the ShortWave radio frequency for the Alex Jones Radio Show.
