Who is this Alex Jones guy?

Edited on Tue Aug-26-08 09:48 AM by Suji to Seoul

I just watched him lay into, rather poorly, that insane skeezix Michelle Malkin here and the post was locked.

Call me ignorant, but who is he? And, other than the fact that the guy is obvious insane, why was the post locked?

2. He's the guy that was screaming about black helicopters in the 90's

He thought Clinton was after him. There was lots of insane rightist propoganda in the 90's about this stuff. He's still around.

3. NWO Conspiracy Type.

He seems to see himself as the inheritor of the mantle of Milton William Cooper. Hell of a mantle to aspire to...

7. He runs a website that's prohibited here

called Prisonplanet. His politics are not exactly up to DU standards but he's right about one thing, which is 911. He called it before it even happened.

8. Wonder why people don't accuse him of "being in on it"

A CT wrapped in a CT. If the Neocons forecast that shit and Jones did too, it stands to reason that Jones was working with them. Put that in your conspiracy pipe and smoke it. :P

Thank you everybody, thank you, I'll be here all night. Don't for get to tip your waitresses!

12. Jones is one of the first people to be dismissed

but, discomfortingly, he seems to be more and more right as time goes on.

13. Good description...

he is easy to dismiss because of his annoying, at times hysterical sounding harsh voice, and he is somewhat over the top.
but if you can get under all that, and examine what he has been saying, his truth has come to pass on many issues.

14. Conspiracy nut based in Austin.

However, his followers are more outspoken than he is. I've met him before and while he sat quietly and listened to what others were saying, his "people" never shut up. I think I caught him smirking at them a bit. "Time Warner Cable is evil. Their symbol is an eye. An evil eye...." "The Frost Bank building is shaped like an owl. You know what an owl represents, don't you?!" :wtf:
