And yes there's a forum devoted to the fluoride mind control trick.

Does Alex Jones even drink tapwater when he travels through the airport? Does he know yes it has evil government mind control substances in it?

You could buy bottled water in protest but then it puts more money in corporate overlord pockets....


I love the hypocrisy of Alex Jones worshipping scientist and other great thinkers while pedaling all the amazing conspiracy theories over things such as vaccination and fluoride treatment.

Seriously though everyone should watch that interview - Goldsmith predicts the outsourcing of Manufacturing to China, the collapse of Financial Markets (he name drops derivatives), and political paralysis in a global economy.

Goldsmith has some good points about globalization, but I liked how Stiglitz put it in his most recent book - it's not that globalization is necessarily a negative force, but that the interests behind it (the moneyed elite) aren't interested creating a system that's more equitable. They're interested in using it to get more for themselves.

Well, to be fair, he wasn't given a chance to make it into an "interview" of substance, and even if he did have the chance, Jones wasn't going to play ball. He came on there not to discuss gun control rationally, not to make a point, but rather, to make a stand and become a victim. The best thing Piers did in that interview was never call Jones a single name, never cut his mic, never cut the program, never asked him to leave on air. He didn't give Jones an out for his outrageous behavior.

http://www.infowars.com/alex-jones-...derated-debate/

Already, Jones is trying to make himself look like he had an intent of being reasonable on the show, but we all know that is bullshit. This plea for a moderated debate is just another attempt at trying to legitimize himself.

CNN and the gun grabbing media are now calling for Alex Jones to be shot the day after his heated appearance with Piers Morgan.
In a segment on Piers Morgan’s CNN program, sports columnist for the Daily Beast, Buzz Bissinger, shockingly states:
“I don’t care what the justification is that you’re allowed in this country to own a semi-automatic weapon – much less a handgun. But what do you need a semi-automatic weapon for? The only reason I think you’d need it is, Piers, challenge Alex Jones to a boxing match, show up with a semi-automatic that you got legally and pop him.”
Abby Huntsman (Huffington Post) : “I’d love to see that… [laughter] in uniform.”
Piers Morgan: “I’ll borrow my brothers uniform.”

Ive seen the infowars bumper stickers, only checked it out quickly. Wrote it off as another coast to coast fm face on mars thing. Then I saw this. Comes off as pure anger mixed with projecting fear into anything that can draw a rating. Not sure if this is an act like Beck or if this is his niche carved out over his career and is milking it by upping the ante each media cycle. I expected it to end with a challenge to the undertaker in a battle royal format for freedoms. How this guy maintains his anger/act without having a heart attack is beyond me. how the hell is this a sustainable model for a business; is he the Beck replacement now. What happens when this guy leaves, find a more extreme model?

I like the anti-fluoride argument. "Buy bottled water because it isn't fluroidated! "

Yes, obviously the shadow council or whatever wouldn't go into the business of bottling freely available spring water and selling it at a markup, and then use that as a conduit for the mind control drugs they put in the taps already. I bet they giggle about it every time they're plotting the mechanisms of the world at the bohemian grove.

Buzz Bissinger is a brilliant writer who thinks his opinion on everything is gospel and an undisputed rear end in a top hat. And yet another anti-gun person who doesn't know the most basic facts about firearms. An overwhelming majority of handguns are semi-automatic dipshit. And all long guns, that's shotguns of all types, deer rifles, and "assault" weapons account for 300 out of 8000-9000 gun murders per year. Handguns are used in 95% of gun murders. And all gun murders have dropped by nearly half in the last twenty years.

It's mind-boggling that there aren't any non-insane pro-gun people in a position to get invited on these shows (or are there? ). The ones who do get face time rarely bring up the most important points and always manage to pull every argument they do make out of a big bag of crazy.

Ne, what's even better is to try to make up a conspiracy theory that's both more contrived and yet more believable than the ones they put forth.

Currently, I'm mapping out the hilarious very serious theory that the mind control is not fluoride, but rather high fructose corn syrup. So far I've got this:

- It's readily available in most processed foods
- It metabolizes into a form of sugar
- It's highly subsidized by the U.S. government
- It's already in you


That doubler was pure gold. Took me a while to place the song, but it's one that made its rounds a short while ago.

To an extent, he is right that a group of super-powerful people control "everything". But that's just common sense; of course people with money and influence run the world/government. It's sort of in the job description of being rich and powerful. There may even be some weight behind the idea of a group or groups of them gathering to discuss issues related to being in a position of power. However, I sincerely doubt the notion that said group(s) would involve Satanic worship, evil plotting to undermine society, discussions on how to torment "the little man", poison the water supply, or anything of the sort. I accept that I could very well be wrong, or need my "eyes opened", but it's very unlikely. Most evil people aren't evil because they are knowingly so. They are evil because they are convinced they are right/good but harm others in their quest to be right or good.

I don't pay attention to mainstream news or television in general at all anymore so I have no idea who Piers Morgan is. He's probably completely horrible in a dozen different ways on a day-to-day basis but that interview did make me feel really bad for him. Probably because it reminded me of myself during the few times I tried to debate with an Alex Jones fanboy.

At one point, Morgan mentions how he gets accused of not letting his interviewees speak. That's because he totally talks over people and acts like a complete twat. That's probably the only time I've heard him patiently wait for an answer, because he knew he'd never have to argue.

I know nothing about Alex Jones except that I am certain that Piers Morgan cherry picked him to be on his show to somehow make it look like he was less of a giant stinkyhole. I doubt it worked.

Piers Morgan is the epitome of being criminally uninformed and willfully ignorant.

Edit: And people usually don't realize that he's the person who is probably responsible for the beginning of the whole phone-tapping scandal in the UK. Even people in Britain don't want him back. This is their response to the news that there was a petition to deport Piers Morgan:

It did work, actually.

The problem with Alex Jones' approach is that he comes across as such a maniac that it doesn't matter what he says, he's always going to look bad next to a guy who's just sitting calmly looking at him. Jones brought up the phone-tapping scandal, Jones had some facts and figures, but he couldn't bring it up without becoming a raging maniac. And in a debate, it's not what you say, it's also how you say it.

edit to not stray too far from the subject:
Alex Jones is crazy, but I enjoy listening to him in small doses because of the entertainment value.
I do, however, find it scary that he has so many supporters that swallow his insanity hook, line and sinker. I remember a couple of days after the July 22nd attacks in Norway, he had a caller (from Norway) going on about how this was a false flag operation. Alex Jones agreed to the max and seemed to take some joy in telling his listeners that he saw this coming all along and tried to warn against it. That kinda pissed me off.

There is no consensus. I'm simply stating that there is a portion of the UK population that dislikes him enough to not want him back. Certainly Jeremy Clarkson doesn't like him otherwise he wouldn't have punched him in the face:
