Alex Jones: What We Really Are

    Alex Jones help me back in the day, maybe 10 years ago, to realise what's going on and on how things really are. Since then I haven't payed him to much attention, I caught a couple of his documentaries and the odd youtube vid etc.

    I came across this video yesterday and was quite surprised and chuffed to see Jones talk about this kinda stuff. In a nutshell, I believe this is what folk refer to as "waking up".

    Comments are encouraged on the content of the video, preferably from those who have watched part 1.

    Part 2 is more classic Jones most of us have grown to shudder at :).



    Part 2.

    Most of that was actually pretty enjoyable, certainly up until the 10min mark anyway. Unfortunately then he switched to the Jones I've grown to loath with his ravings about the NWO, "social engineers" and Madison Avenue. :(

    I can't stand Alex Jones to be honest. he just rehashes the same theory in all his videos but with a lot of self importance, and i doubt they're even his ideas.

    Even this video is just a load of theories about the (meaning of life/basic human nature) but said differently to make him seem intelligent.

    Cheers for the input. Jones has been accused of many things as far as I'm aware, being unintelligent has never been one of them. He seems to be able to hold a massive amount of interesting information and can unload it at the drop of a hat.

    As I said in the OP, I am not his biggest fan either but I was requesting comments on the content of the video and not personal opinions on mutton head himself. :)

    I watched it a second time and tried not to let my annoyance of jones clould my judgement;

    The first 4 minutes he says humans are just designed to survive - this is true but its the same for every living organism.

    He also says that humans are not supose to trive in a society of milk and honey (obviously a metaphor for an easy life and riches) but he doesnt really prove it or even name a philoshere that makes that arguement, then the next line he says a 100 years ago we came up with equation to design the atomic bomb but a 100 years ago was a milk and honey society. Now if we look at it, the more we develope into this milk and honey society the more great things we're inveting so its a bit of a paradox what he's saying. I think humans actually strive for the easiest life possible so its only natural that we want this new consumer world.


    4.00-10.00 minutes were good and i agreed with most of it.

    then 10 minutes onwards he goes on a NWO rant which is the same as all his rants.

    Really late so i'll probably edit this tomorrow so it makes sense.

    Check out his Y2K special from 2000, hilarious. He's telling listeners that the National Guard were out patrolling the streets. It's a hoot, Orson Wells wouldn't have a patch on him.

    Jones' tells his listeners Vladamir Putin is going to bomb Texas!! :eek:

    Linky

    A real wake up call alright. :rolleyes:

    In fairness he may have meant the hardware shop.

    I suppose it all went pear shaped when they changed their name to Homebase.

    Alex Jones is informative but like anyone else putting information out, you shouldn't believe everything they say.
    The guy doesn't exactly chime with my own views but he doesn make some good points and I feel his heart is generally in the right place.

    Glazers Out!
