Nearly everyone here and on reddit is critical of Alex Jones, and there is A LOT to be critical of.
But I would bet that most of his critics believe the official story of 9-11, as an important example. If you haven't figured out that was a false flag event (one of MANY) then go ahead and criticize Alex Jones because you are just another know-it-all, arrogant windbag.
Alex Jones is a deeply flawed man, but he IS talking about important stuff.

I'm going to go ahead and defend Alex Jones because I think he generally speaks the truth. Yes, "they" ARE putting dangerous fluoride in our water. Chemtrails. CPS. Political control by banksters. Filming police. Gun rights..etc etc etc.
See, this is exactly what a "walking false flag" operation would hope to accomplish: blending in real conspiracies with fake conspiracies to taint them ALL with fake conspiracy smell. Fluoride is put in your water to prevent cavities. You don't like it, don't drink or use tap water. There is no such thing as a "chemtrail;" what you are looking at is water vapor that collects in the wake of jet engines.
Political control by banksters IS a real conspiracy. It is easily demonstrable and visible.
Filming police, gun rights are just issues of common sense that I'm sure Alex Jones puts his signature nutty ass spin on.
Maybe he's over the top and makes wild predictions but I don't care.

Barry Goldwater lost the election BTW.
you apparently missed my point. what is obvious and common sense to you is not known by the masses, otherwise it wouldn't persist. iow, if everyone realized how slimy the banksters were, we'd probably all be bitcoiners already.
And who cares if BG lost the election, what's that got to do with anything?
You missed the point of the quote. I'd rather have AJ ranting and raving like a lunatic
and shedding light on issues than nothing being said just because he comes across as abrasive.
If you don't like him, don't listen, but he's waking people up IMO.

Glad to see there are others who think the same way.
I agree with all your points fully, there isn't a much better and simpler way to explain it.
So, what else has Alex Jones convinced you of? Was MH370 turned into a "Stealth Nuclear Weapon by the Illuminati"? What about the Lizard people who are in the Federal Reserve? How has Alex Jones enlightened you?

You can disagree with me. that's fine, but to me Alex Jones and Dick Cheney are night and day.

I would call them "night" and "grey".
Dick Cheney = Knight of extreme Darkness.
Alex Jones = "Truth-teller" mixed with lots of 'spin' and stupid antics that drive many people away with a really bad impression.
i'd say alex jones' content is about counterculture infotainment.. of course he's not the same as dick cheney. he's still a piece of shit who does what he does so that people pay attention to him.
August 06, 2014, 06:10:12 PM
I'll agree he has some entertainment value, but he also does "serious damage" on a regular basis.
If by "serious damage" you mean convincing otherwise smart, normal people to believe in utter horseshit, then yes I agree.
I'm quite certain the world around us would be a better place if Alex just shut the fuck up, but no he has to use his "talents" to attract attention to himself instead of actually educate people.
He's not really a better person than Dick Cheney or Glenn Beck or anybody else who spews hatred and lies for a living.

These and many more are all serious issues that he's shining the spotlight on. People need to know about this stuff, and many do not know. he's opened my eyes to things I was unaware of, so when I see Alex Jones, I see passion and truth.

Chemtrails have been debunked by numerous sources, one of my friends is a commercial pilot, given lots of access to his aircraft, meaning he can check almost everything on it, and even took some fuel to an independent lab to get it tested after hearing these theories. Tests were negative. And if you think there are special planes flying around, that's been debunked too. I also have yet to see a plane spotted somewhere that I can't track via online radar. Everything else seems normal, not like a conspiracy... Governments do crap like that. Early governments did that...

THIS IS NOT GOOD!
Well with this guy's track record if he now says that bitcoin is going to succeed IT HAS ABOUT A 95% CHANCE OF FAILURE.
Perhaps it will be one of those things where he has been so wrong about so many things it loops around at the end and becomes right again.

Alex has been right about a lot of things too.
anyway I don't see him making bitcoin predictions,
he's just accepting it.
True, but most of the time he is wrong. If I make random predictions about what temperature it is going to be outside your house sooner or later I am going to be right

He is a A++ douche, but good for him to realize facts afterall

i'm not surprised there are some alex jones supporters on this forum - bitcoin has a strong libertarian base. but alex jones, at least to me, is just a provocateur who feeds off anger from paranoid people. actor_tom_truong even links to his site
August 06, 2014, 03:49:37 PM
Ok, please point out what he was wrong about then?? Anything will do.
Must be factual based though, not something that "in your opinion" he was wrong about.
Here's one for you:
From Alex Jones' radio show, December 15 2008:
"In a few months all of the pension funds are gonna be gone"
WRONG.
All I had to do was type in "Alex Jones wrong" into Google, and this is what came up:

If none of the hundred+ examples listed therein cut it for you, you simple aren't attempting to understand reality because your ego is blocking the way.
Hes definitely not a fortune teller, but at least he doesn't shy away from attacking the lies the gov't spews. I mean he even goes back to bring up all the sex assault allegations against bill clinton (dating back to his college days) most of which have been settled for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
And please, rachel maddow is nothing more than a part of the mainstream propaganda machine, repeating all the lies that the white house puts out, about benghazi, the irs, fast and furious, syria, etc.

Lol! I like all the haters chiming in right away to bash the man, when they probably never even listened to anything other than lame stream media hacked up clips!
No, I'm bashing him because I am 100% certain he is a detriment to society.
He cares about nothing other than attracting attention to himself. He has a track record of being wrong far more often than he is right and he is a complete joke to anybody who can actually think for themselves.
All he does is shepherd angry white american teenagers into getting angry about stuff that isn't true.
He will only detract from the credibility of bitcoin by associating his disgusting monstrosity of a personality with it.
