Hey, it's not that the Birchers are bad
people; they are for the most part loudly pro-American patriots, they
just have a different view on many things but to ignore the fact that
despite their more outrageous histrionics there is much common ground on
a good many issues of great importance. I have myself on several
occasions worked jointly with the organization on issues of agreement
and unlike say MoveOn.org or other political action groups, I always get
a return letter from my so-called Congressional representatives when
using the JBS activism tools. Like all organizations, they continue to
evolve but their focus on communism as the ultimate menace was and is
wrong and is reflective of the formation of the JBS during the Cold War
era when paranoia first became a virtue in America although of life as
it is post 9/11 . For the record though, the JBS in it's current
incarnation is far more outspoken and progressive on civil liberties
issues than either the Bush or Obama administrations. It is just that
they are misguided and far too overly concerned with the external
threats than those that are internal and have overwhelmed the
traditional, reality-based conservatism of the past.
As for civil liberties this is where
Alex Jones is the most effective, in attacking the vile transformation
of what used to be the land of the free and the home of the brave into
some bastardized version of Oceania, Stalinist Russia and Nazi Germany
called The Homeland.There is no more of a passionate and ardent defender
of American civil liberties on air than Alex Jones, and truthfully that
sucks because it is due to problematic and uncompromising stances on
such issues as illegal immigration abortion (Jones is against it),
failing to denounce the Tea Party movement after it had obviously been
infiltrated and compromised by Neocon Republicans, Koch Brothers style
global warming denial and a certain dark xenophobia relating to Mexicans
(he accused Grindhouse spin-off flick
Machete director Robert Rodriguez of
fomenting a race war)
he would have such crossover appeal that he would become a very
dangerous man to the oligarchy. The one thing that this pathetically
impotent, broken down and busted out lemming colony desperately needs
(absent a functional political system) is a libertarian -
progressive-green alliance that could find enough common ground to pose a
serious and highly motivated threat to the current corrupt system.
Jones, a libertarian who is a huge supporter of the former insurgent
Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, a man whose
anti-interventionist, pro-civil liberties, anti-torture, anti-Federal
Reserve and pro-America views make him anathema to the Neocon controlled
GOP has gained much clout with thinking progressives for his principled
stance on what ails America. Paul recently joined with the hated
bogeyman of establishment Democrats, Ralph Nader in an alliance against
the corporate warfare state so there is potential. Were Jones to reign
in his tirades in order to appeal to a wider audience and using his
skills as a showman and filmmaker he would be formidable indeed.
The Rolling Stone piece is
actually about as fair a bit of writing about a guy with the
controversial nature of Alex Jones is going to get in a major American
publication. Certainly not a cowardly knee-capping, the article portrays
Jones' family life as being very normal, he "dotes" on his wife and
children, "cracks jokes with his young staff" and is according to the
author "shockingly sincere" in everything that he says. And the article
makes it a point to emphasize that Jones has no tolerance for racism
(Obama Joker posters and unruly Meskins [sic] aside) and is against the
sort of anti-Semitism that is exemplified in many of the more extreme
elements of the far-right. With any attacks on the Neocons and their
insatiable bloodlust for global hegemony often resulting in knee-jerk
and libelous accusations of anti-Semitism from the normal William
Kristol, Israel Lobby and Alan Dershowitz influenced winged-monkeys it
is important that one be wary of being accused as being nothing more
than a 'Jew hater'. Zaitchik's piece makes a point of mentioning that
Jones' wife is of Jewish descent and I have on occasion when listening
to his show often heard him respond to callers (more than a few so over
the top that they are likely some of those
paid actors who read scripts on radio shows) denouncing Jews in a harsh manner, this is good
currency to have considering the highly coordinated activist presence of
movement conservatives. And as for the ultra-slick, multi-millionaire,
fish-belly white faux populist spokesman for the corrupted beyond
redemption Tea Party that is Glenn Beck, a
followup bit on how Beck has stolen from Jones,
changed the message to one of partisan politics and deception and
helped to build a proto-fascist army of American brownshirts who with
the help of the vast right-wing conspiracy network of think tanks, front
groups and local bunds of haters that
can be bussed in to any hotspots, like they were to Madison, Wisconsin during the rebellion against Governor Scott Walker.
Zaitchik (and likely the editors) does make more than a few of t
he standard tricks and tactics used to discredit those who dare to ask the forbidden questions as
wingnut 'tin foil hatters'. For instance the sly references to the
diseased little monster Jared Loughner, Loughner is said to have been a
fan of the 9/11 Truth film Loose Change, as if that sort of guilt by
association with a film that dares to examine the American Reichstag
Fire hasn't been now viewed by tens of millions of people who
don't go
on kill crazy rampages. Jones is mocked for daring to question the
official story and to ponder whether the Arizona shootings were in fact a
"government mind control operation". There is of course no reference to
the longtime involvement
of the CIA and military in mind control experiments such as
MKULTRA,
the obsession with trying to create 'Manchurian Candidate' style
assassins (reference the work of a Colonel Thomas Narut found in the out
of print
Operation Mind Control by Walter Bowart), there is one hell of a lot of money that is spent on
mind control and Jones understands that, even if the sheeple don't.
Also the article seems to state that Jones' belief in FEMA camps, total
government tracking and fusion centers is absurd. Of course there is no
mention is given to the
ACLU's report on the fusion centers that are hidden in plain sight just about everywhere now, Oliver North's
REX 84,
Continuity of Government or the existence of these bizarre sort of
detention facilities in America.
This stuff is real and people had better get it though whatever may
remain of their television lobotomized brains that they are there for a
reason, and it's not going to be a good reason. Of course such
facilities must be downplayed, the blockbuster episode of TruTv's hit
show
Conspiracy Theory With Jesse Ventura dealing with the fusion centers, detention camps and police state
(which Jones contributed to) was yanked off of the air and flushed down
the memory hole by the an oligarchy hellbent on concealing the truth for
as long as possible while the police state or as Jones refers to it,
"the global, Stasi,Borg state" can be fully completed.
Zaitchik also writes:
To Jones, what matters most
is the "continuity of agenda at the top. When I called Clinton a Wall
Street puppet, they called me a right-wing extremist. When I said the
same about George W. Bush, they called me an anti-war communist. Now
that I'm against Obama for the same reasons, mainline conservatives
embrace me. When I attack the next right-wing 'savior,' they're gonna
call me a communist again."
On the spiritual cancer of
modern capitalism, Jones sounds more like Ralph Nader than a Fox
Business channel libertarian. "Madison Avenue makes us addicts of
consumerism, using glass wampum to steal our capacity to direct our own
lives," Jones says. "The globalists are smart and tell us sin is fun,
sin is a red- devil cheerleader. No -- sin is cheating other people, it's
sending troops to die in illegal wars, it's keeping people dumb so you
can control, exploit and kill them."
While
in recent years Alex Jones has disproportionally focused his energy on
attacking Obama, who has now proven that he really isn't the second
coming of anything other than the Bushreich, only a smoother, better
packaged version of it (as I write this the teflon-coated bullshit
salesman is preening and prepping for his very own war on Libya) - he
was critical of Bush as well. While some of his newest films
The Obama Deception and
The Fall of the Republic are denounced by the pathetic excuse for the left as sinister
propaganda it would be a nice bit of context were an earlier Jones film
also be referenced. In
9/11: The Road to Tyranny there is an extended segment on the
Bush Family Nazi history, bizarre ceremonies at
Bohemian Grove , an annual gathering for the elite located in the northern California
forest and covered the Nuremberg style rally in 2004 New York City that
was the Republican Party convention. So Jones does denounce the entire
rotten system despite the earlier mentioned policy omissions, he also
regularly ridicules the idiotic notion that Osama bin Laden and al-CIAda
have become convenient bogeymen to be dragged out to justify every
Draconian assault on civil liberties and war crime committed by the
empire. It was Alex Jones who correctly called the 9/11 'terrorist'
attacks before they took place and on July 25th, 2001 and according to
Zaitchik "became the only radio host in America to begin his September
11th broadcast with a tirade against the U.S. government", now that's
chutzpah!
In the end it all comes down to money and power, when in doubt always refer to the Golden Rule which is that those who have the gold make the rules.
As the system itself which is unsustainable deteriorates by the minute,
the dollar being devalued by a cabal of genocidal fanatics led by Fed
Chairman Ben Bernanke and uncontrollable commodities speculation that is
driving a wave of global insurrection it is imperative for those who
are able to see it for what it is can come together. It may already be
too late to salvage anything, but there is a certain intrinsic value in
the dignity of the fight against that which is unjust. Make no mistake,
the FEMA camps and police state that Alex Jones rails about are real and
they will soon be occupied by those who dare to question the raw
fascism of the new American century. No matter how flawed that his
message may be at times there is no question that Jones is influential,
has a dedicated following and is the antidote to the whores and
charlatans like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck who work for big money in
order to distract, divide and hijack the revolution. It is going to take
a unified effort to fight that which is coming, thanks to the internet
and those who use it to expose the great lies there are millions who
already awake and somewhere in the back of the minds of those who are
not there is a gnawing feeling that things have gone horribly wrong, the
right message with crossover appeal could be the spark that ignites the
powder keg that the oligarchy is sitting upon but time is running out.
Alex Jones is many things to many people, a veritable Rorschach test, but truly what he remains is an enigma.
There are times when taser justice is overkill —

The German newspaper Der Spiegel somehow got its hands on photographs of U.S. soldiers posing with a corpse, and published them, and the Army wants you to know it feels really terrible. "Today Der Spiegel published photographs depicting actions repugnant to us as human beings and contrary to the standards and values of the United States Army," spokesman Col. Thomas Collins said in a statement. "We apologize for the distress these photos cause." The photos apparently depict Cpl. Jeremy Morlock and PFC Andrew Holmes—both charged, along with three others, with killing Afghan civilians—posing with the corpse of an Afghan man named Gul Mudin (Morlock, in his photo, is apparently "smiling as he lifts the head of a corpse by the hair"). Well, no hard feelings, Army! Let's maybe just keep the war crimes to a minimum in the future, okay? [
"Sex-starved and promiscuous" female guards are constantly having sex with inmates at Rikers Island, the New York Post reports, based on an interview with former guard Yolanda Dickinson. Who just happens to have written a novel—titled Taboo—"based on the jail's out-of-control sex scene"! How "out of control" is the "sex scene" at Rikers? According to the Post itself: Since 2007, six out of the prison's 3,890 "sex-starved and promiscuous" female officers have lost their jobs over "undue familiarity," though only two were accused of actually having sex with prisoners. Sounds out-of-control! And... sexy. [
