Alex Jones gets his @*#% handed to him by Bill Ayers

[KingNothing]

To be fair, regardless of the interview, Alex Jones is indeed prone to posting misinformation and falling victim to confirmation bias often enough that it would benefit him to be taken to task by others on what he espouses. Jones is very sensationalist and in the business of fear-mongering, though of course, he gets things right sometimes. It would do a world of good if people questioned him to verify his sources.

Has Alex Jones ever said that an event of significance was actually what it appeared to be? Literally every time an event happens, he said it was a plot by the global elites to subjugate us all. It's like he thinks that variance and "loose wiring," are impossible, which is strange given the fact that there are SEVEN BILLION PEOPLE ON EARTH and there is ALWAYS something extreme happening somewhere. He'd have a lot more credibility if instead of saying events themselves were orchestrated he talked about how coverage of the events is presented.

thesis of Jack Cashill who used textual analysis to pretty much prove that Obama's book was completely stylistically authored by Ayers.

Ayers--the son of a giant public utility Commonwealth Edison fat cat was a merchant seaman and a very talented writer. Cashill shows how Obama's book is loaded with countless metaphors and illusions to nautical high seas imagery and written by a skilled writer. Cashill then analyses the scant actual extant college writings of Obama and shows how Obama is a border line moron who's writing ability and verbal SAT scores are in the Bill Bradley range--i.e. way below the national mean.

Thanks! I had never heard of this before, and had to look it up. Fascinating stuff, for sure.

When you finally get around to listening to Bill Ayers himself in his own words, you tell me what he says in this entire interview that you disagree with. I'd like to see it in writing for myself.

He seems very smart and very well spoken. Jones was definitely scrambling. It appears that Jones developed an amicable rapport about halfway through.

He said Chris Dorner was legit, ostensibly because he was a pro-gun control Obama supporter. Alex Jones is very often what's wrong with anti-government narratives; jumping to conclusions about how the state is behind anything without any evidence.

...again, Alex Jones and the rest of the pitiful, pathetic Republicrat apologists, including the likes of local hero Rand Poll, appear to be frequently apologizing/shilling for people who: 1.) are unconscious of their DIRECT, PHYSICAL, DEADLY, etc., participation in many sick twisted gd fool Republicrat directive$ or 2.) are consciously participating in said sick twisted gd fool Republicrat directive$..

...the former might be pitied and quickly forgiven after they acknowledged and apologized for their youthful peckerheadedness, quit their stinking 'job$' AND SPOKE OUT ABOUT SAID SICK, TWISTED, GD FOOL REPUBLICRAT DIRECTIVE$...but the latter are somewhat despicable, right?...pray tell, why not?.....WHY WOULD ANYONE PRAISE EITHER GROUP UNLESS THEY THEMSELVES WERE TWISTED GD REPUBLICRAT FOOLS???

If you have a better explanation that isn't the product of MSM lies and paid off shills, I'm listening.

It's like he thinks that variance and "loose wiring," are impossible, which is strange given the fact that there are SEVEN BILLION PEOPLE ON EARTH and there is ALWAYS something extreme happening somewhere.

Except it's a coincidence that all these extreme events always happen in first world countries with the most weapons and 3rd world countries where there's no ruling government, right?

He'd have a lot more credibility if instead of saying events themselves were orchestrated he talked about how coverage of the events is presented.

why should he trade advertising revenue for credibility?

I got to the point where I can't help but see that, Alex, isn't jumping to conclusions, but that he is trying to pull around and lead with a leash.... a bunch of hard-sell fear, and concentrates on control, more than freedom.

Agree with lots and use to dig in way further, but he doesn't give a shit about anyone else, but himself.... and/or whoever he is funded by.

If one understands that socialism is not a share-the-wealth program, but is in reality a method to consolidate and control the wealth, then the seeming paradox of super-rich men promoting socialism becomes no paradox at all. Instead it becomes the logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs. Communism, or more accurately, socialism, is not a movement of the downtrodden masses, but of the economic elite.

"Rand Paul's connection to leading conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is under new scrutiny after the Republican senator recently claimed vaccines could lead to "mental disorders."

In 2009, Paul was interviewed for Jones' show and claimed "martial law" could lead to "mandatory" vaccinations." http://mediamatters.org/blog/2015/02/03/rand-pauls-alex-jones-problem-vaccines-and-mart/202396
