he was accusing Max of being Satoshi himself, which is absurd. 

IKR?  Everyone knows Stacy Hebert, not Max, is Satoshi.   Grin

Max sounded like he did speed before that interview.

Except as time goes on, alot more turns out to be proven right...

He pushed the issue of Homeland security buying the bullets and heavy armed vehicles.

Yeah, Max may be on speed or coke, but that is the right of every bitcoiner.  Haha.  But I think he's just passionate and on the show he was trying to out-Alex, Alex, who is notorious for interrupting people.  I love how he interrupts and follows up with "I'm sorry go ahead" real quick, like a fake apology.  He cannot resist interrupting people and its annoying, but Max was like full-on I WILL KEEP TALKING and it really seemed to get Alex's goat, which I liked because he needs to get smacked around a bit.  I think both of them have good intentions, and also both of them want to make money via competitive modality, which does take the shine off them.  The need to make money, makes Alex's broadcast sorta clownish.

Seriously though, there needs to be a larger round table discussion with these two and maybe Larouche (hes kind of an old codger but very smart and reasonable) and some other guys, like some good authors.

Alex's broadcast is like his megaphone stuff, but as you mention, he is right on the core issues, that government becomes tyranny.  Bitcoin seems to be a weapon he just doesn't quite understand, but like on the other thread about bitcoin being "The killswitch", it can be used against the people, so Alex is right to tell his listeners to be cautious because they don't understand the tech, just like he doesn't understand it.

It's kinda sad that Alex can't take the bitcoin discussion where it needs to go.  And its also sad that his format is so annoying with the constant commercials, so any knowledgeable bitcoin person he has on, is going to have their moment weakened by his horrible advertisers and their crap commercials.

I think part of the problem is that the Genesis communications network requires Alex to pay a lot of money to keep his broadcast going, so he has to sell out to his advertisers.  I don't think he's getting rich.  I think it just costs a lot of money to broadcast at that level.  He could switch to YouTube only videos but how would he pay his bills?  I haven't seen anyone on YouTube who has the same verve and passion as Alex, but I am open to suggestions as I think YouTube is better than Genesis communications.  But YouTube isn't a 'broadcast' like radio is.  I mean radio is just an expensive medium I guess, and you have to sell out on it, to get on it.

The Max and Alex interviews are great. They can both get so fired up. Obviously Alex would win in a boxing match. I have the feeling Max would go for the eyes.

No, I didn't say he makes things up.  Sure, he is apt to grab onto anything the web says.  But no, I don't see him making things up.

That he accuses Max of being Satoshi, is not a case of him making things up, he is just suggesting something.

No, I listen to him for his passion.  I don't agree with you that he makes things up, per se.  I am wondering what percentage of truth you'd attribute to his broadcast?  Would you say 90% truth from him, or 20% truth from him?

And how does your answer compare to the white haired CIA douchebag on CNN or the other empty headed chick on MSN or the mass of crap media bobbleheads?  I'd say they are the real enemy.  Alex is just kinda clumsy, as is Max, but neither of them is evil or bad like the mass media paid-fro assheads are.  Thoughts?

^ I agree

I've listened to Alex for the last 3 months. I don't find Alex to make stuff up.  He might jump on things a little to fast sometimes but he doesn't make it up.

NBC, CNN, Fox, politico = they all intentionally lie for their agenda

I would say 85% accuracy rating for Alex. What I have looked up has been Accurate. And the other stuff you can see playing out.

Max sounded like he did speed before that interview.

..HOWEVER, he has long term credibility as to the fight for liberty.

..Overall, he was accusing Max of being Satoshi himself, which is absurd..

First you claim AJ has long term credibility but then freely admit he is inclined to make things up on the spot with zero facts (accusing Keiser of being Satoshi). AJ spouts so much rubbish that he is sometimes going to be right, that doesn't make him credible, it just makes him that broken clock that is right twice a day.

If you listen to him for entertainment value (and he is very entertaining), fair enough but to cite him as a credible news source is beyond a joke. People who lack critical thinking skills or who are just intellectually lazy take the things he says, run with it and re-post it everywhere online.

Yeah, Alex was right on in the old days but has since been corrupted by his own enemy.

Just to chime in here...

Alex Jones was one of the first ones to fight a necessary fight.  So it's cute for people to knock him, and rightly so, because his commericals are crap, and far-too-many, HOWEVER, he has long term credibility as to the fight for liberty.

True, he has a lot of lame aspects, but overall, since all the news media types are 100% worthless, he comes out much better than they do.  CNN is dogshite, compared to Alex's show, for example.  But yeah, he makes his money by taking "end tymes" advertizers and yeah, his commericals are utterly unlistenable, so I turn the volume down once I hear that "grand old flag" stupid music that screams in every five minutes when he breaks for commercial.

Also, he is completely lame as to the people who call in, he totally fails to hide his contempt for the general pool of listeners, I mean part of the fun is to listen to him mock his own audience.  Haha, it's funny.  However here again, Alex is better than 100% of the talk radio douchecrew, I cannot listen to any of the talk radio people, but I can listen to Alex.  So take that for what its worth.

Now, as to bitcoins, recently he had Max Keiser on the show, and it was kinda like a car crash.  You could tell that Max was using his time on the show, to promote his own style of ranting, and you could tell that this was getting on Alex's nerves.  At one point he was being talked over by Max and he said seriously "Max, you need to clam down right now" like a parent speaking to a child.  Haha, Alex can't step to the sort of level Max is on, so it was funny to hear him try and be all tough in that moment.  Overall, he was accusing Max of being Satoshi himself, which is absurd.  But the point is that here we have two loudmouth truthers who are in their own way, very irritating, and money hungry, but STILL better than the rest of the media and talk radio tards.

So who is better or more real?  I mean Max has his show on Russian TV, which, well, has less commercials, while Alex has his show on Genesis commo network, which is very much a joke in itself.  Which network is better, Genesis money-train or Russia today Marxist-train?  It's hard to say, both of them are mostly good but also lots of bad.

In the end, I listen to both of these guys, but I notice that they really don't get to the real issues, and they both have considerably large blind spots.  But as to bitcoin, Max seems to be all-in, which, I am a fan of bitcoin due to my technical ability to understand its beauty, but Alex seems to be hatin' on it, which I can understand since he's not tech-savvy and doesn't trust the shadowy origins of it.  In the final analysis of this issue as of right now, I think the Max K. Alex Jones interview was like "Round One" of a radio/media title fight for Internet Realness Championship.   ...The only way to really establish a better venue is to get a round table of these two, and a handful of other smart people, on the same table, to discuss it in the round.  However, there is little incentive for either of them to step to a round table debate/discussion since it doesn't allow them to make money off their appearance.  Soon, these larger conversations will have to be had, and it won't be interrupted by some idiotic fear based commercials like Alex's show, nor will it be on the slick "Russia Today" type broadcasts either.

Does anyone remember those great PBS round table discussion they used to have?  I forget the name of them, but they had one about law, and there were a ton of great lawyers around the table, and such, having very honest discussion about the efficacy of the law practice, etc.  They got to some really hard issues on those shows.  The round table discussion on TV has been completely eliminated, so I don't really have too much hope for humanity getting the truth from the media.  Basically Max and Alex are what we got, two broken horses with maybe 70% truth and flawed broadcast modalities.  Still, like I said, they're better than the rest of the media bobbleheads.

Alex Jones has shit all over bitcoin numerous times in the past not to mention the fact he calls out anyone as government shills (Julian Assange for example) when they refuse to come on his train wreck of a show. His show is all marketing, it's the last place I'd want be associated with.

He's not in it for truth, he's just a clever marketer doing it for the money. He'll say and do anything provided it brings in the $$$.

Hey, if I could run my mouth for a living, I'd want to protect my job too Tongue  But here we come to the issue with capitalism; it's all about the money.
