Alex Jones, a syndicated radio host was on Piers Morgan's show a few hours ago and went crazy with a pro-gun tirade: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtyKofFih8Y I had never heard of the guy before, but he seems like a hybrid of Glen Beck's nonsensical ranting and Rush Limbaugh's fatness. Apparently before the interview last night, he decided to not take off his shoes at a TSA checkpoint to make some stupid point about how since he's a critic of the TSA, they profiled him and he'll SUE THEM GOD DAMNIT: http://www.politico.com/blogs/media...iew-153581.html quote:Alex Jones detained by TSA en route to Piers Morgan interview  His Youtube channel is a cornucopia of further insanity: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheAlex...l?feature=watch

Looks like his jeans are too tight. Needs to get some comfortable trousers, he may calm down a bit then.

Good, gently caress the TSA. They've accomplished poo poo as far as catching any terrorists.

As crazy as Alex Jones is, I'll stand by him in his desire to deport Piers Morgan. To the Sun, if possible.

Everyone in that picture looks like a fat sack of doo doo. Maybe if the TSA hired some hot young men there would be less complaints about all these pat downs?

Even though Alex Jones is crazy as poo poo, stopped clocks are occasionally right: The TSA is a loving incompetent mess that doesn't work, that any competent terrist can work around. They flag for one way 1-way tickets. Great, so spend a few hundred more, for a return. It's not like they're going to need that extra 100 or so after the flight itself, right?

Alex Jones is a fruitcake no doubt, but any act of protest against the TSA can only really be a good thing. EDIT: Holy hell that Morgan interview was meandering and pretty tangential though. I found myself hoping for a suicide bomber to run in and blow both of them up. WD40 fucked around with this message at Jan 8, 2013 around 07:52 |

Isn't this the first time AJ has ever been interviewed by US 24-hour news channel? It's as if THEY didn't want the truth reaching a broader audience.

Maledict posted:Even though Alex Jones is crazy as poo poo, stopped clocks are occasionally right: The TSA is a loving incompetent mess that doesn't work, that any competent terrist can work around. Yeah, but all the same. Alex Jones is "that guy" at the security gate. I've always been far more annoyed at the people who act like taking off their belt is the mother of all injustices than at the guy who asks me to take off my belt. EugeneJ posted:"Prey For Us" No, it's a false flag.

According to several different sources, some guy was making fun of Alex in a restaurant and it got a little heated. Alex asked him to step outside and the other guy "Steve" complied. Alex goes to his truck to pretend like he's getting a gun and threatens to shoot the guy. Steve beats the poo poo out of him and leaves after Alex screams like a little girl for someone to please come say him. One of his coworkers goes to go grab a big friend of theirs, and when they return Alex is screaming and ranting about how the multiple assailants had a knife and were trying to silence his freedom of speech. His coworker said that wasn't what happened, so Alex spits blood on him. Alex receives another punch to the nose. When the cops get there, he starts ranting and raving about how his daddy is soooo rich and he has relatives in the FBI and basically acts like a spoiled frat kid. He ends up calling the FBI and telling them his assailant was a terrorist and a child pornographer, but apparently nothing came of it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz6GHJZF1ro http://www.austinchronicle.com/news/2000-07-14/77932/ Of course certain conspiracy mongers turned against Alex since this is clearly proof that he's a double secret COINTEL pro agent and a Zionist to boot. I wish I could find the original article, the link on the Austin Chronicle is 404. Edit: There's also a bunch of other great info in that Chronicle article about what a fat whiny hypocrite Alex is. I think it's disgusting what he's done to Austin, the hippies around here didn't used to be batshit libertarian creeps. Vivoviparous fucked around with this message at Jan 8, 2013 around 08:48 |

Alex Jones is one of the patron saints of the Truthers, and yeah he's pretty loving gonzo when he gets wound up. Some awesome footage of him and a bunch of truthers looking like morons in the film New World Order - the film itself "carefully neutral" in itself but oh my god Alex Jones looks dumb/crazy as gently caress. At one point he gets a bit too rowdy in NYC and the cops take him aside and basically shake their fingers at him and release him, retires to the Troofer stronghold and gives the most uncanny unintentional impersonation of Hitler giving a speech I've ever seen. e: He also puts up a big tough-guy front when there's a big audience around him but as soon as the cuffs go on he cries like a baby (seriously) Flesh Forge fucked around with this message at Jan 8, 2013 around 08:55 |

Red Suit posted:I was just glad to see someone put Piers in his place. He needed a taste of his own medicine. Alex Jones has really gone off the deep end (well...deeper end) and has gone totally unhinged in the last couple years. It used to be kind of cute and funny watching him protesting the Bilderberg group by himself or interviewing Charlie Sheen, but now he has gone whole hog into the doomer/gun nut mindset. He regularly gloats about his 50+ weapons with armour piercing bullets on the show... I'd be nervous if I knew him personally. At least George Noory is just a kooky old grandpa who likes telling stories.

I get the feeling some of you don't get quite how popular and influential this guy is. His little team of sci fi writers comes up with ALL the NWO/illuminati/FEMA camps/truther/world bank/etc nonsense you hear, or at least appropriates all of it into the most popular and "coherent" single narrative. He makes a mint off his DVDs and affiliate sales from the survival gear and cash for gold scams on his websites. He is almost singlehandedly responsible for Ron Paul's popularity with college freshmen. He's incredibly popular in the south. When OWS was going on, in Austin at least it was 80% Alex Jones kids trying to talk about how the elite cabal of lizard bankers were trying to kill off 90% (or 10%, it varies) of the population and also we need to deregulate the banks to prevent another financial crisis. He's serves an important role as the guy who brings all the disparate conspiracy factions together under a big crazy tent. Cracked has a pithy little write-up on the guy that explains it pretty well: http://www.cracked.com/funny-6140-alex-jones/

My favorite Alex Jones conspiracy theory is the United Nations are going to somehow ban golf courses in the USA. Something about that land being put to better use for crops or FEMA camps or something. This would be hilarious except that newly elected Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) also believes this conspiracy theory: http://www.tedcruz.org/blog/2012/01...enda-%E2%80%9D/

Volkerball posted:My favorite movie ever would be a parody of Alex Jones life starring Jack Black. Only diffrence is, Jack Black would be funny as Alex Jones in, "Alex Jones: The Unsung Hero of the Revolution'" - And he isn't funny. Well, on occasion. That said, I do agree with what you said, about people just aching to throw a hissy fit, and using some small form of compliance with security rules, as an excuse to go, "GUBMENT ENCROACHMENT ON ARE LIBERTEES", and Alex Jones is certainly one of them - but he does have a point overall about TSA and Airport security being beyond a bad joke. The Millennium Bomb during the Clinton years (Or was it Bush? I think it was Clinton) that Hillary or Bill claimed credit for which was due to the "extra security measures", was only really thwarted by an alert border guard, not because of "enhanced" security. It takes ingenuity to catch and think like ingenuity, eternal vigilance, etc - Not bored stiff, rigid protocols that any smart person can work around. In that end, Osama sort of did win his 'victory' - which was to make the population of America paranoid as gently caress, and restrict themselves and close them off. Statistically, bodycount wise, 9/11 wasn't huge in the grand scale of things in pure numbers, and it was a the biggest gigantic media frenzy and spectacle in recent history, and that was what Bin Laden was aiming for.

This article is loving amazing. I've lived in Austin all my life so I've run into Jones in person numerous times, I've occasionally watched his shows on cable access, etc. To me he's always been the little paranoid manchild as described in that article -- a local celebrity kook, of which we have many of. That article brings back so many memories of watching cable access, stoned as all hell at 3am back in the early 2000s and it's so delicious to read about all the stuff happening behind the scenes around that time. It's so amazing that he's turned out to be basically the most influential nutjub in America.
