Topic: Even Alex Jones makes fun of us - page 2. (Read 3519 times)

Of course it's seriously dumb!  So are his followers - which is why this is the best news I've heard all day.  I have to say I haven't liked to see the likes of Max Keiser lower themselves to go on AJ's show and because I'm aware that those of us who have Bitcoin today are likely to be empowered relative to those who jump on board later on - and I really don't like the idea of AJ-heads being empowered by bitcoin. Their critical capacity must have been severely disabled to start with (whether by Bible belt schooling, parenting or whatever) but their minds are seriously crippled by the BS they repeatedly listen to till till they actually believe it!

Guns is one thing.  Guns in the hands of the mindless is another.  Guns and Bitcoin wealth in the hands of the mindless is something to be truly scared of.

Long may Alex Jones continue to believe and preach Bitcoin is part of the NWO conspiring to... (fill in the blank).  Long may his followers stay the fuck away from Bitcoin!

One thing to remember is that conspiracy types are strongly opposed to a global currency and/or a digital currency (and a lot of that stems from religious fundamentalism and "mark of the beast" prophecies).

This leads to an interesting conundrum with Bitcoin - as it's intended as an anti-establishment tool to cut out the banks and decentralize the monetary system, conspiracy types end up with mixed feelings about it. I don't think Alex Jones knows what he believes, he's still trying to work it out.

Sure , I will buy as much as I can to show them who's the winners.

I was on a satirical over the top website called the obama forums. We would act like Obama supporters and big Democrat supporters throwing out straw men left and right only to have conservatives who could not see through the obviousness go nuts (and threats of lawsuits from a certain jewish organization).

We put one post up there about how we need to have the government censor various right wing websites. We mentioned Alex Jones' website as one of those sites.

He went on his show shortly thereafter talking about an Obama web forum that was trying to shut down his website.

At the very least he does not do his due diligence to check the validity of what he reports. I could go to my Spam folder in my e-mail and report some pretty amazing stories of things going on in the world. But that is about as believable as anything Jones spits out.


I tend to see two types of libertarians, those who understand that government just does not work. That pouring more money into something only makes things worse (including wars). Then there is the Alex Jones conspiracy types who believe that government works so well that they are responsible for EVERYTHING in this world down to the color of the juice you drink (blue is turning you gay because the NWO wants you to be).

The conspiracy types tend to fight with us against big government, but for different reasons. But they get in the way when trying to have a rational debate.

Since we're already off topic:

Only thing worth listening to Alex Jones right now is the gun debate. Its already proven and history has already shown that Gun Registration leads to Gun Confiscation, and Gun Confiscation leads to the overall violent crimes and murders increasing higher. Its not what-if might happen in the future, its stuff that has already happened in several countries. Doesn't matter if you like guns or hate guns, those are the facts that can't be debated. Not conspiracy.

Back on topic:

Now everything else Alex Jones talks about are mostly all the conspiracy. Someone else had to tell him about BitCoins. I don't think he's done enough of his own research to even have a public opinion worth listening too about BitCoins.

Its really sad that he makes a few good points on important topics, then 80% of the stuff he says is lol making people discredit everything he says. And constantly trying to sell product kills the mood too 

Lmao thanks for the good laugh

Jones is the type of guy who would make up 1000 predictions and if just a few of them come true, he will boast about those for some time to go... all while he's selling you water filters:

The man thinks Max Keiser is Satoshi Nakamoto.

I mean, come on.

Funny thread   

YESSSS +!!!!!

Bitcoin's built-in self-defense: If Alex is one's intellectual superior, Bitcoin might be a bit of a stumper.

Frankly, I don't mind terribly if the kind of idiots who take Alex Jones seriously stay away from Bitcoin. 

Jones IMO isn't the "enemy" he's just full of himself at times but I think he means well.  I think the problem is goldbugs tend to blame Bitcoin for the gold price lowering which is crazy if u ask me.  I was offended when I heard him praise Mike Adams for guessing Bitcoin would crash and fail.  That is unreasonable and he always claims to be such a great researcher, so to make that claim so quickly just left me disgusted.

To tell such a large audience That Bitcoin isn't right to support is ignorant to say the least.  He had Keiser on recently showing support for it now this.  He was bitter about Keiser showing so much for BTC and seemed bitter he was getting attention for making many good calls lately.  He's not helping his viewers and should shut up on this topic until he can back up his point of view with real facts and evidence.

I enjoy watching Alex Jones for like 5 minutes because everything he says makes me actually think, but then (like reading this forum) it always goes way overboard and makes me wonder if the world is really all as bad as it sounds and if human beings really are constantly "out to get me". I learn towards the explanation that some people are just jealous and unable to cope with not being in control of everything (e.g. they wish *they* were the 1% and don't actually care about helping the 99%, just getting the current 1% out and themselves in). Sometimes I feel many of the more influential mouthpieces in Bitcoin are just involved to help create an exclusive boys club where they can keep others out.

No girls allowed.

Alex Jones is likely just another mouthpiece for Big Brother. They like to control both sides of thought, the mainstream and the alternative.

Regardless, I don't really care what Jones has to say. It doesn't take an insider or anything to see that the market was going to crash. And besides, if bankers caused the crash, what can we do about it? Nothing.

Holy shit, please tell me this is a joke post....

Yeah I know my way around when it comes to Conspiracy Theories. This particular ones is B.S.
I'd call it the Conspiracy Theorist Circle Competition. They accuse each other of working for the The Man to syphon off followers and make the ranks more agreeable. Actually it's just their own paranoia working against them.

I'd say there is only one conspiracy theory which makes sense to me: Ad-hoc collective schizophrenia caused by hierarchical structures. This usually results in media manipulation but other things can be explained by it too.
