My first experience of Alex Jones was in 2004, or was it 2005? I had a chance to look at a 9/11 DVD, the one hosted by Ed Begley, Jr. in New York on one of the
9/11 anniversaries. I would go to the libraries in my area, and when YouTube got hot a few years ago, I wanted to watch more of that video mentioned in that DVD,
"The Road To Tyranny." Ten minute piece by ten minute piece, it was a re-education of the things I had learned back in the 1990's as a producer for the Sun Radio Network and a show called "Radio Free America."
Alex's Sunday shows, as opposed to his three-hour and sometimes more daily shows, packs a little more punch, and today's show was not an exception. Mr. Jones brings a little more bark and a little more bite to the table. Sometimes angry, sometimes apologetic for being angry, Jones went through the major items of the day: Geraldo Rivera being a bit more open about 9/11 on his Fox News show, the tour de force that was the November 12th airing of "
Conspiracy Theory Of Jesse Ventura" on the TruTV cable network which dealt with the Police State grid and the series of fusion centers and FEMA camps. Also mentioned on the show was the latest "revelation" about how most water in the state of Texas, and one of his recurring themes: how most of society is focused on things that ultimately do not matter, such as sports and news that in truth is gossip.
My thoughts, if you please.
I will
never argue with the presentation and the virtual encyclopedia of all things NWO Alex seems to possess. He is to this movement what Rush Limbaugh is to the conservative talk radio genre. I mean this in both good and bad ways. Like Rush, Alex seems to have problems controlling his own ego at times. Over the two hours, he gave opinion after opinion, but did not give time for callers to register their opinions, failing to take a single call. He also went on rants about the very people he's trying to enlighten, trying to get them to wake up to what is truly happening around them and us. While I understand his frustrations, and I understand how that can grow after all he has done, insulting the very people he tries to enlighten ultimately defeats his own purposes, and those of his ilk.
This particular show very slightly touched, if at all, the very top issue at the moment and the developments therein over the weekend. And that is the Transportation Security Administration and their complete stubbornness on the issue of the naked body scanners and pat downs that many think are gropings. I know Alex spoke at this in length during the week, but his Sunday show reaches a deeper and somewhat lesser informed audience. This is clearly an argument that will wake up the masses and lead to a travel revolt in the coming weeks, which might be exactly what the TSA hopes for. It was a golden opportunity for Alex to mention that the TSA intimidation will soon spread from the airports to the highways and to the malls and Wal-Mart Supercenters across the land, and he had other fish to fry.
All and all, a good show. Alex: don't apologize for getting mad. And educate your ever growing audience, and keep them around by not insulting them.
