Alex Jones endorses Trump

[Occam's Banana]

He actually prefers Rand. Just thinks Trump has a better chance.

Smart thinking. Certainly wouldn't want to waste your vote

You especially don't want to waste your vote by voting for someone other than the person most other people are going to vote for.

I mean, if you're not going to vote for the person who has the best chance of winning, then you might as well not vote at all.

(And we all know how silly and pointless it is not to vote ...)

Medina is a first time candidate, a true woman of the people. Maybe she got rattled, maybe she changed her mind on running as a truther but regardless of the reason for her answers that day, there is not logical reason for Alex to throw her under the bus the way he did. Think of the cringe worthy interview Rand had with Rachel Maddow, just imagine if we all had jumped ship because of it. That is the hot head attitude that I am talking about.

Rand stood by his guns when grilled repetitively by Maddow, Medina did not, that's the difference. Again, Jones waited over a week before responding, and did so logically, because the cave-in interview was being used to demonize truthers.

Also if the death of 800k civilians is that important to him, how come he didn't ask Trump serious questions about it? At least get to on record on his beliefs about the attack. But ofc he won't do that. I have said it before and I'll say it again. If Rand or Ron ever came close to the white house, Alex Jones would turn on him. He is sparing those 2 right now cos they never really had that much of a chance of winning the general election for the POTUS.

Trump wasn't ready, so in a first interview, AJ was letting him try to get there in his own time. That's different than somebody who's supposed to be "one of the people" who was already with us on 9-11, but dropped it on a dime. If AJ really was a hot head, he would have rushed Trump over 'not going all the way,' to the point where he lost him. So this episode shows he was not a hot head. Jones has pushed others, like Sibel Edmonds, but only after they had been on his show a number of times discussing 9-11 issues. Alex turns on turncoats, no matter who they are, a simple point that appears to be getting lost.

Dude, you seriously need to read this.

The issue is not hating the establishment, it's recognizing it's an obstacle to liberty candidate success, and therefore embracing the anti-establishment trend that has emerged in this election cycle.

 

[TER]

AJ must be so happy with the results coming in.

 

[erowe1]

Well, his three percent in the polls indicates that he made a huge strategic blunder regardless of your irrational hatred of Jones and his very influential radio show.

At this point, you can no longer call the hatred anyone here has for AJ irrational. If you still respect him, its you who need the frontal lobotomy.

 

[TER]

Anyone guess what AJ's message will be tomorrow?

I'm guessing he is going to praise Trump's success, feign sadness over Rand's showing, and sing about how TPTB are running scared.

Any bets?

Complete rubbish, Rand didn't stand by his gun. He for the most part refused to answer the question and ended up giving some non answer that was didn't really say that he disagreed with the portion of the civil right act that forced private businesses to cater to groups they did not like. But lets just imagine he has given the wrong answer, are you saying that it would have been OK for Alex Jones to mercilessly attack him and try to derail his campaign?

Get there in his own time. I mean, the attack only happened about 14 yrs ago, so idiot Trump still has about 20 yrs to get there. Please done deceive yourself, you know he would dare ask him a question about 911 and if he did, he would accept any answer he gave and shut up like the obedient little cuckhold that he is.

I think my problem with this campaign is that I greatly underestimated the abilities and the numbers of the enemies within the gates, the turncoats who swear up and down that they support the liberty movement while doing everything they can to tear Rand Paul and his campaign to shreds. I actually thought that the fight would be against the establishment but I was wrong. Well played guys, rejoice, pop the chill champagne cos you won the fight this time and I hope you are rewarded for your efforts.

Why? Because he told the truth about Rand and his chances? You fanboys need to stop mainlining the kool aid. Rand's made his own bed now he has to sleep in it.

 

[WQuantrill]

Why are people projecting Rand's underwhelming performance on Alex Jones? Alex Jones didn't make Rand Paul fall from the top to the bottom in less than a year.

My guess is that you are one of those guys that are defending the people trying to tear Rand and his campaign down. Everybody and their dog knew the chances were slim especially with the fake anti establishment Trump in the race, heck we even knew this when Ron Paul was running and he didn't even have the fake celebrity anti establishment guy to contend with but we were steadfast and fought the good fight because we knew that the alternative was going to be shit. So if by drinking the kool aid, you mean actually fighting for something instead of standing back laughing and saying what we all know, then pour me another kool aid. Cos I rather be drinking this one that drinking the kool aid served at Alex Jones "town" radio show.

 

[jbauer]

I never drank the jones Kool-Aid but I did enjoy reading some of his articles that weren't completely batshit crazy.

how were you able to tell?

 

[H. E. Panqui]

...i consider myself 'libertarian'...but i can forgive nearly anyone for holding stoooooooooopid republicrat political stances if i consider them truly and VIGOROUSLY 'anti-war'...

...ron paul made the cut...the only republicrat who's EVER made the cut for me...and my wife...and many friends...

...rand doesn't make the cut with me OR ANY 'LIBERTARIAN' i personally know..(re-listen to his republicrat warmongering rhetoric in his presidential bid announcement, etc. ad nauseam)

...also, i've never understood why ron/rand support/associate with the stinking, rotten, goddamned, murderous fools who DOMINATE the Republican party...big turn-off for most/all 'anti-war' people i know..

...i doubt i could ever support rand...even though i admit he's somewhat 'better' than the stinking rotten cruds who DOMINATE his stinking republican party inc...being 'somewhat better than' while sucking up to these goddamned sh!theads in the 'r' party has left me disgusted with rand...even though my disgust for rand is less than the disgust i feel for the rest of his stinking rotten stoooooooooooooooooooooooooooopid and murderous republican party inc....

...all the smart, decent folks i know want the r's and 'ds flushed down the toilet...rand would be smart to disassociate himself from these insane, delusional, republicrat cretins/puppets...the longer he stays with these stinking republicans the more stink he gets on himself...

 

[sparebulb]

EVERYONE, when it comes down to it, takes care of number 1 first and foremost.

Rand is one re-election away from a hefty 'gubmint pension.

Unless he wants to run as an independent (communist) like Bernard, he will keep with the republican wing of THE PARTY.

 

[jth_ttu]

how were you able to tell?

Basically I just watched interviews with people and read articles that are linked to sources. I believe in some conspiracies but he is ridiculous. He's cried wolf too much

 

[jmdrake]

I was just watching Alex Jones and he said he was supporting Trump. How can anyone professing to be libertarian support and endorse Trump. I'm done with Jones and I hope other liberty lovers will find a new place for information.

Quell surprise. Who didn't see this coming? When Trump went on the show Jones fawned all over him and called him a "statement" of all things. That was about all I could stand to watch and I hand to turn it off. That reminds me. When's the last time Rand went on the show? Oh yeah. It was before he endorsed Mitt Romney and Jones went temporarily insane. Jones attacked both Rand and Ron, but Ron sucked it up and went back on. Rand didn't. Oh well.

But this has been coming for a while. First Dr. Jerome Corsi, big time birther, went on the Alex Jones show and said Donald Trump was the "real deal." Then a member of the Trump campaign on the show and he and Jones had a wonderful time bashing Hillary Clinton and Obama and the "neocons." Then Trump attacked dubya over not protecting us on 9/11. That's the closest any serious presidential candidate has ever come to being a 9/11 truther, including Ron Paul. Jones, of course, was all over that. And Trump, unlike Ron, didn't trip over himself trying to distance himself from "conspiracy theories." If your number one issue is exposing things like 9/11 and the Bilderberg Group, and if Rand has people like Peter Theil of the Bilderberg Group endorsing him and, then running away from people trying to ask him about the Bilderberg Group after at first saying it actually was a concern.

But you know what the real irony of all of this is? For 8 years now we've been hearing over and over again from certain people in this movement that people like Alex Jones are a "net negative" on the liberty movement. They drive more people away from Ron Paul then they bring. So...should people who believe that be jumping up and down for joy now that Jones is endorsing Trump? Think about it. If it's really a net negative for someone like Ron Paul then it should, theoretically anyway, be a net negative for Donald Trump. We should want Alex Jones to endorse Trump right? Oh...but through the years it's been "Go away conspiracy theorists....but you'd better endorse our money bombs on your radio show because....liberty."

Seriously, it's Donald Trump's "I don't give a crap what the pundits think they can all go to hell for all I care" attitude that has cause his meteoric rise in the polls. A Donald Trump adviser never would have sent a text to Peter Schiff telling him not to go to "Trumpfest" because there were people there that he wouldn't want to be associated with. And if such an adviser did sent out such a text, Trump would have immediately said YOU'RE FIRED!

Anyhow, I hadn't listened to Jones since he had Trump on and haven't listened consistently for years now anyway. While I'm disappointed in this, on the other hand I can't blame him. He's just another person that Rand's incompetent handlers pushed away.

 

[jmdrake]

He certainly didn't help.

Well how exactly was he supposed to help? By forcing Rand to appear on his show at gunpoint? Rand in effect said "I don't want anything to do with you Alex Jones." Okay. Fine. Last few times I listened Alex was still pushing Rand and at one time Alex was actively attacking Trump. But, why should people that the "mainstream" liberty movement keeps attacking as "the ones who are dragging the movement down" stay with the movement indefinitely? Seriously, this has been like an abusive marriage. "Yeah I give you a couple of black eyes once a week when I get drunk, but dag nabbit you shouldn't leave me. It's for the children!"

Funny thing about crying wolf. Sometimes when there's really a wolf there and you cry wolf the wolf runs away. Back in 2003 General Wesley Clark did a video where he said that in 2001 he had heard that we were planning on invading 7 countries in 5 years including Libya and Syria. Well...more than 5 years passed and we didn't invade Libya and Syria. Then that wolf came back. Alex Jones has been more right than wrong and some of the stuff he warned about that didn't happen could have happened and still might happen. Then there is the absolute crazy stuff like the video he did last year claiming someone had been sent to assassinate him and the Austin sheriff called him and warned him about it. Bollocks. Had the powers that be wanted Jones dead he'd be as dead as Bill Cooper.

 

[erowe1]

But he did what he could to help with that. Didn't he?

You saw the part in this thread about how AJ endorsed Trump. Right?

 

[KingNothing]

He actually prefers Rand. Just thinks Trump has a better chance.

So why didn't he endorse Romney and Obama last time?
