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.

Love him or hate him, I was first drawn to Alex Jones after the horrific events of 9/11. From day one, we have shared the same belief concerning the events of that fateful day. Yes, thousands of our own citizens were killed in the blink of a thermite eye as direct result of an “inside job.” After I published my first article expressing this exact view, most folks thought I was crazy. Not Alex. He and I were on the same page from the very beginning... Thus, I still share many of his beliefs on a variety of issues.

The nice thing about about having some substance between the earlobes, and being an independent thinker, is that no matter what anyone else says -- you have the luxury of formulating your own opinion and belief system. Indeed, when it comes to informing the masses without all the butt-dressing of prim & proper journalistic jargon – whether using a loud bullhorn or a radio mic, Mr. Alex Jones has honorably earned his rightful place in the pages of history for trying to inform people about the global tyranny we all face.

Having said that, I think that more than qualifies him to be posted on the pages of 12160.

Here's a thought: For those of you who may have alternative viewpoints that may oppose those of Alex Jones? I say pound your keyboard like a tazmanian devil and express your thoughts with some awesome original articles. After doing so, I will read them and give you an honest (and respectful) reply.

Bottom line, we are all in this together. Never be afraid to express yourself! I say let's put our heads together and figure a way out of this mess.

Peace & Justice,

~Vince

Here's my opinion on the matter, this is just my opinion. We should all be more concerned about the message and stop worrying so much about the messengers. Who cares if you like Alex Jones, David Icke or whomever, That is your right. The creator gave you a brain to use, most don't. If you disagree with something disagree with it not the person and move on. We are all nowhere near perfect. Don't believe in the reptiles, so what move on, don't bring someone down because they do. The movement is more important that the individual. Is there a big problem facing us all? YES. Then stop bringing down those who stand up. We are all in a vehicle heading for a million foot fall and we're worrying about what seat were sitting in, who we're seated with and we constantly fight anyone who tries to steer the vehicle. We are so concerned about our seat on the vehicle instead of trying to steer the vehicle away from the cliff. Do I believe Alex Jones? I do believe him. Is he always right? NO he is not, doesn't stop me from listening and seeing his side. I commend him for his courage and what he is trying to do and so should all of you. He is standing up saying what is on his mind. If it were not for him most of you wouldn't have anything to say or complain about and you would have to find someone else to bring down to make yourself feel like you're superior. GET over it and move on. We live in a time that there is a great change coming. We are on the brink of war here in our on front yards, and we still don't care. If you want to rip me apart first go to my blog and read the entire thing from 2005 till now then tell me how I am wrong. Feel free to contact me I'll link you to my blog. And for the record I'm a press photographer covering the news here in Richmond,VA that no one sees but on my blog. It's too much to go into here but thanks for letting me comment.
