Alex Jones is a man who sells nonsense through the internet. America First - Alex Jones Remix (Placeboing): • America FIRST - Alex J... Selling Stupid: Logan Paul: • Selling Stupid: Logan ... Patreon: / georgrockallschmidt
Yeah, I was shocked to find out that he's only 44 years old. He looks ten years older to me. I was hoping he was in his 70s, though, so that I would know the end was coming soon.
Sambou Jaiteh Eh, some people age well, others don’t. My dad is 62 and I swear he stopped aging around 45. He still has most of the color in his hair. Jones didn’t get the “fine wine” gene, but he could certainly be worse off.
There kiiiiiiiiind of already is one, although it's apparently riffing on Glenn Beck. I saw it completely unaware and did think it was an Alex Jones parody, but then found out it was too early to be based on him. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dances_with_Smurfs EDIT: I didn't know Jones had been doing InfoWars for so long, so I guess they could have used elements of his schtick in the episode.
They should build two giant lava lamps where the twin towers were: The whole world, just, you know, flows, duuude... Up and down, and up again, and down again, it's all the same. The NWO controls it all!
Granted I think most conspiracies are comical, but I believe Bush let 9/11 happen (as it was proved he was given a report that the attack would happen and his only defense was to claim ignorance, and a lot more damning evidence) but even I think AJ is one of the worst humans alive. That's part of the problem too, he steals and ruins the credibility of real arguments and entire issues, and does it intentionally too... and in the dumbest ways possible.
No it isn't dickhead, take five minutes to look. RU-vid has taken down or restricted several videos on Alex jones, including H3H3 who had a livestream cut of for talking about it.
@@MrCmon113 it was pretty tyrannical. Even half that stuff happening today - randomly levying taxes on certain goods used as a tool of punishment. Suspending the rule of local courts and instituting military law in any situation less than a major national disaster. Forcibly quartering soldiers in people's homes as a means of intimidation and much more - would have most people today up in arms, either figuratively or literally. It might not have been Soviet Union level genocidal totalitarianism, but it was absolutely unrighteous.
@@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz4839 So, are you Mel Gibson or were you only educated by the movie The Patriot? Cause buddy, there's a lot more to US History and the Revolution than this cartoonish villainy you've described. While you've hit some bullet points, your characterization of them is lacking. For instance, the "British Redcoats" weren't a "Foreign Military" since the Colonies were British. It's literally the army that would be assigned to them and the same used to fight all those conflicts before the American Revolution. The same conflicts that caused the need for increased Taxes. As for the Quartering Act, this hit more a chord about politeness than anything else. Parliament declared that barracks should be made for the troops they had stationed in the Colonies to fight for the Colonies. If no Barracks were available, then they'd make use of the public houses and inns. If those weren't available, THEN it'd be a matter of actually having them in your house. The New York Colonial Assembly was more annoyed that they weren't really asked, even though their Royal Governor (Appointed by the Crown) who represented them in Parliament signed off on the Quartering Act. This lead to the Assembly restricting the Governor's power, and we snowball from there. The important thing here, though, is that by all British accounts, the colonies were represented just fine, same as any other area. So we have both Representation, Taxes, and Quartering taking a whole different look than "Foreign Military Occupation and Tyrannical Rule". While I still think independence was a proper move at the time, let's not be shouting about "Freedom" thinking the Founding Fathers were infallible, altruistic Patriots.
as someone who's lived in Austin, Texas, for almost 30 years and watched Alex Jones rise from cable-access-nothing (and even met him once) I really appreciate you going ALL THE WAY back to his roots. The truth is that after Waco there were many people spouting the same garbage, he's just the one that turned it into a working brand
Yeah, even the well known local Austin director Richard Linklater put him in two of his movies (Waking Life and Scanner Darkly). There was an article in vice about his relationship with Alex. Richard said "He was more fun when it was the Bush era, put it like that. [Laughs] When he was anti-that, I was like, "Yeah!" and then I was like, "Oh, you're just anti-everybody."
When I first saw Alex Jones, being interviewed on UK TV over a decade ago, I thought he was a comedian's character, like Al Murray's The Pub Landlord. I was shocked to find he was an actual person.
@@Milkbutter he talked about Epstein way before it happened, the gay frog meme is also real etc. etc. Watch his first video at the Joe Rogan experience - everything in the 4 hour video that he said could be verified. Now you.
@@mekudu-man3804 Everybody worth salt knew about Epstein. This was googlable for a long time before they arrested him. And being accidentally right does not give an evolution-denying raving lunatic who purposely got the parents of murdered children harassed, or a pizza shop shot up, credibility. He's a narcissist who convinced a bunch of other self-centered people that they, too, can have secret knowledge for $19.95 plus shipping.
Alex Jones totally failed in his Sandy Hook hoax story, when a journalist asked him to meet with the fathers of the slain children, Jones replied, "Their mourning is still too raw, and I wouldn't have sufficient protection from attack", to which the journalist replied, "If the whole thing is a hoax, like you claim, why would they be in mourning"?. Jones realized the hole he'd dug himself into, jumped up and screamed, "This interview is over", and stormed off.
How many injured children where taken to ER that day ? Why was neighbouring state SWAT office arrested in the woods next to the school ? Just a couple of things for you to look into
@@atozer2547 good point. i still DO NOT believe the narrative of the events that happen. i was threatened with violence because i didn't buy all of it.
The worst part is that there actually are antidepresents being put in the water. By people flushing them down their toilet. Lots and lots of people still doing that.
I heard it said that there are so many heroin addicts in Glasgow that methadone can be detected in the water supply. Don't believe it personally but your comment reminded me of this.
@@mrhed0nist Testing sewer water for drugs is a method generally used for research into drug consumption per population actually. Here in the Netherlands for example most cocaine/amfetamine residue (per capita) is found in sewer water in Amsterdam, which actually has the most in all of Europe, yet cocaine residue is also quite high in Volendam, a small town where lots of Dutch singers come from/live.
This is just how human bodies work, they can't process the complete amount of just about any substance put into them. A good portion of drugs and medication is coming back out the other end. Just like the foods that you eat, their constituents too can be detected in the sewage. There's no reason 99% people who are prescribed antidepressants would just take the pills and flush them down, because (a) depression does not cause delusions of the kind that they are being watched and their trash is being searched and would have to dispose of them discretely, so they can just chuck them into the waste bin should they decide not to need them or conclude that the side-effects are worse than depression (b) almost all depression patients are receiving them voluntarily and likely at least partially paying for them. It's probably just a movie cliche or something like that. It makes more sense to just stop getting prescriptions and save what's left for later because depression tends to come back and they know that, and they know that when it's back they might not have the power to go see the doctor again. The best absorbed antidepressant by far is Fluoxetine, with about 10% of it being flushed down the toilet; but it goes downhill from there, something like Citalopram, only half of it will be absorbed. What is your suggestion exactly, i don't think pissing exclusively into bottles and collecting those for chemical waste disposal will be conductive to people feeling anywhere near healthy again.
I like how there's one or two times he says he's got "evidence" and pulls out a blank vanilla folder, then says he can't share it with anyone because he'd die, so we just gotta take his word for it.
I think the popularity of the X Files . Back in the 90's. Also contributed to AJ starting out. Since in *his* mind. He's one the Lone Gunman hackers. From Series 1
nox5555 Definitely yet more dangerous to society, he sells hatred and snake oil. Logan Paul just sells merchandise and could be used as a great example to kids that your actions have consequences and it requires you to be accountable in order to achieve forgiveness. Especially with internet mob mentality, forgiveness is a lost concept at times it seems. Therefore I think I can easily forgive Logan Paul, I have gallows humour myself, I just don’t broadcast my life therefore I don’t get judged by people who don’t know me for laughing at someone’s misfortune or bad decisions. Alex Jones on the other hand I’ll just continue to look at as a living meme of insanity that doesn’t benefit society in any positive way at all...
@@sonicimperium this is the thing. I'm like 70% sure you are just taking the piss and that's funny and all. But the other 30% of me thinks, oh another moron. Poe's Law strikes again
@@Jeed92 No hes fucking insane, stop pretending he isnt a rambling idiot. This is probably done on purpose though so people take the legit investigations he has done in the past less seriously
@@chadthundercock4806 -Nope. The difference between a conspiracy theory and a conspiracy is the evidence ... and the fact that people who engage in conspiracy theories aren't interested in the evidence. They're interested in their own conclusions.
When Alex started selling snake oil I lost all respect for him. I used to respect him a little but not anymore. He must have been replaced by a lizard person because he's not the same.
i was actually surprised his supps are fairly well dosed. they're not the best on the market by any stretch, but they're better than most. now if you're saying supps in general are 'snake oil' that's a different matter.
@@uberneanderthal Thay are. It's ALL snake oil. There's a documentary called "Vitamania" that does a good job explaining the whole thing but you'll only find clips of it on RU-vid for some reason. They keep it suppressed for whatever reason.
@@TheTarrMan well i know firsthand they're not 'all' snake oil. had a bad skin condition on my hands, tried steroid creams and everything, nothing worked. took some biotin supps and it was cleared up within a week (for whatever reason the biotin in my diet isn't enough, maybe i don't absorb it well so i need a little extra, i just know the supps worked when nothing else did)
I don't believe for even one second that Alex Jones believes a singular word of what he says; the hyperbole is so overwhelmingly obvious throughout. His is a well calculated performance. What fascinates me about him is the commitment of both his audience as well as his colleagues within INFOWARS to the nonsense. You look at the difference between his presentation and a lot of the younger people who present on his show; there's a palpable, measurable difference. What's even more interesting are the mainstream networks that include or involve him, as if he's in any way a credible opinion. He is IMHO the ultimate professional troll, except that he's not merely trolling his detractors or even his audience. He's trolling his compatriots, his own employees. I genuinely believe that everything that he does is a cold, calculated performance.
There is a guy called Nathan Oakley who has a similar modus operandi. He convinces thousands of followers the earth is flat and to give him money when it's been proven that he doesn't believe it himself.
I wonder if Mr. Jones' inspiration for his male-vitality-improving-tincture-in-response-to-the-globalists nonsense was Brigadier Gen. Jack D. Ripper in 'Dr. Strangelove'.
I see Alex as the personification of that mini gun jungle destruction scene in predator. You gotta hit something, right? I mean, they WERE turning the frogs gay.
The best was when you said every day, then were shocked that a cigarette had appeared in your hand. Like, there was so much stress from the situation that you started smoking without you knowing it.
I sometimes agree with some of the more logical yet incredibly exaggerated points he makes, not his conspiracies or some of his absolutely insane exaggerated moments but I do find all of it extremely funny
This isn't directed at the video by any means. I feel it to be a very objective and analytical observation. The subject strikes a very personal chord with me, however, and I want to put this anecdote out into the ether in hopes that it serves as some sort of evidence of Alex Jones's virulent influence. With that in mind: I very genuinely hate this man. It was Alex Jones's insane ravings - as well as those of the tinfoil hat community at large - that preyed on my mother's insecurity and compelled her to stop taking her medication. She had been dealing with schizophrenia for years, and it was gateways into the world of fear mongering like Alex Jones that kept her spiraling out of control. I once overheard her telling my dad about how the house needed a sign out front advertising for the Alex Jones Show, and she said it in the calm, clear voice that I rarely ever heard at that point. It was one of the few things she was able to elucidate. This paranoia profiteer was one of the few voices my mentally ill mother would listen to because he knows how to leverage his opinions upon those who are trying to make sense out of the world, but replacing knowledge with his own manufactured terror for the sake of turning a profit. It's voices like this that instill real, genuine, irrational paranoia into people, and the fact that he can sidestep responsibility for the lives he and his like have ruined under the banner of showmanship or whatever reckless rationale they justify themselves with fills me with real, seething hatred. Please. Never write these sorts of people off as simply blowhards. Anyone who raves about unsubstantiated conspiracy is a legitimate menace.
I blame you for Alex Jones because you won't read Antony Sutton's works or Carroll Quigley. People don't go to first hand sources so charlatans like Jones can profit from their lack of knowledge.
Same with people like Anne Coulter and Katie Hopkins. They know they can gain money and attention by doing what they do rather than what they truly believe, their danger is they pander to and fuel the insecurities of some people. Best wishes to you and your family.
I don't mind recognising that aj is immoral and twists the truth. What I hate is the double standard because he's just the other side of the coin and on the other side is leftist SJWs that have been saying equally as horrible, wrong and damaging things to the world, only they're protected by MSM, every major social media platform and are invited everywhere. So sure, don't write him off. But if you care that much about nutjobs with influence then look no further than the racist, sexist, culturally-suiciding MSM and hollywood.
this is great stuff. your channel deserves great success. there is a lot of stupid being sold, your pond is drying up from how many stupid fish you can catch.
I'm surprised this wasn't age restricted, with smoking contained in the video. That's usually a TV-MA on Netflix... I've quite enjoyed watching and listening to your videos. You're the closest, I know of in a long while, to objective facts, even on this subject matter.
The mystique of Alex Jones fall apart when you read about his divorce case where his lawyer pretty much confirmed that he's pretending to be retarded as part of his defense.
I paused in the middle of this to simply state, I love how impartial, and non-judgmental Georg is being about his subjects, particularly, this new series.He simply presents the facts, as if displaying an impartial news article, or document on the subject in a fairly academic way, but with the typical Georg humor. Love it.
Oh, yes, Tower 7 collapsed into its own footprint, at 5 PM that night... because... well, mostly out of sympathy for its departed brethren. There was nothing weird about that! I mean someone probably left the lights on or something, folks. It's perfectly normal. Just move along.
He is nothing but a classic con man who found a niche in which to make some money and refined the act. *Its not whether he actually believes what he says, its that he believes nothing.*
Probably the most honest comment on here. It is filling a niche, purely out to make money.. Americans have a history of being con-men though, like in the past when they'd rip off their own community using religion, nowadays its culture war and identity politics that the con-men go for
I think people like him have a lot of influence on U.S. politics. And a large reason we have trump. Most trump supporters believe all kinds of conspiracies by the democrats, jews, and "globalists.".
@@Kim-Yo-jong I object, many of us are just conservatives that think that Hillary was much worse when it came to the economy. And also the worst candidate to have ever existed
@@thepaisleyproject And you think trumps tariffs will benefit the U.S. economy in the long run? Have you looked and the economy lately? It's barely holding on and tanks all of 2017's gains consistently. I think it's done so 2 or 3 times already. Republicans always wreck economies. Bush caused the 2008 crisis. All other recessions were caused by republicans. I don't like Hillary either. But face it. You fell for stupid Russian propaganda and disinformation.
I wish you would have covered his inflitration of Bohemian Grove. He went in with a team from English media that included Jon Ronson. Funny thing is that Alex and Jon took away different things from that. Alex claimed that there was human sacrifice or at least mock sacrifice during the Cremation of Care. Jon saw this as mere theatrics.
Ronson's 'Them: Adventures With Extremists' is such a great book. Though it's about 20 years old now it's still so apt. I agree, the very different perspectives & experiences of Ronson vs Jones were telling. Ronson there close to Jones' inception as the High Clown Priest of The Paranoid.
that dead as delivery of 'shouldn't you be digging a hole or something?' was perfectly timed with the context of the previous statement. fucking glorious... i used to watch jones as a meme back in 2008-10. it was a great way to wind down after a days work and the craziest thing was, just like the super market tabloids, jones actually got shit right once in a while.
