Hello, once again. Another night having trouble sleeping. So, I turned on Thor and, now, I'm here typing up a post. This post of course is of the man, Alex Jones. I'll just say before I begin that he's a wacky, cartoon-like man and I'm surprised anyone watches him, anymore. But, the formalities aside, let's begin.

1.) His behavior
This man acts in a way usually seen in a cartoon. Yelling, cussing, name-talking, and mocking anyone, like myself, who thinks he's full of sh**. Immaturity kills your credibility REAL quick.

2.) He's probably clinically insane
Do I need to elaborate? His rants should be enough to convince you he's crazy, if you can maintain your IQ level through one of his videos or chats. He treats people who don't believe him like imbeciles, in spite of the person doubting him having a higher IQ than him. In Coughlan616's video on YouTube, Why I Refuse To Take Alex Jones Seriously, around the 4 minute mark, he outlines one reason he could have some sort of psychosis instead of a personality disorder.

3.) Not really a huge fan of conspiracy theories
Patternicity, agenticity, confirmation bias, hindsight bias, they sound familiar? Guess what they have in common. They are all elements of conspiracy theories. Alex Jones repeats these things so many times, the viewer wants to puke. "Do you see the towers falling when you fold a dollar bill a certain way?" "The world is run by the Reptilian Illuminati!! !" "Here's my proof!! !(Hides things that prove him wrong.)" "I knew this was going to happen, I KNEW IT!! !!" This man could make a preacher cuss.

All in all, this is why I humbly refuse to watch Alex Jones' show. P.S., I apologize if I didn't go into too much detail.

What Jones plays on is the fact that a lot of people sense that the liberal elites are hostile to the best interests of average citizens. From there, he goes off the rails from what I've seen.

Personally, I'm from the muck-up school of history, meaning I believe that people are constitutionally incapable of keep the Big Secret, and therefore, conspiracies just aren't plausible.

A lot of people think they are in control and have the right to deem who gets to hear what. As though they are the parents and society are their teeny little kids who must have all sensitive info filtered. For them it's not so much a matter of keeping secrets or not babbling, but holding on to their own sense of superiority.

Having said that, I'm not really a conspiracy theorist, it's not the things like Roswell that get me so much as NSA or the things large businesses do in hiding, and even so far back as the things I was taught in elementary school as facts that we now know were lies or at the very least lying by omission like all that Eurocentric crap.

I never head of Alex Jones but he sounds like one of the people Stephen Colbert would be imitating.

Alex Jones and David Icke are part of the conspiracy to make conspiracy theorists look stupid.

If it weren't for people like Alex Jones, you wouldn't have any extraordinary claims to argue for, Nambo.

You forget I work at the Houses of Parliament, I prefer to get information from the Horses mouth.

He is what people like these days. And the same crowd that likes him is likely to be a fan of Glen Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Ted Nugent, Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Belligerent, antagonistic, disrespectful, arrogant, LOUD, intimidating rhetoric. Everything, IMO that is destroying this country.

I would disagree about Dog but other than him those others are true.

That's the only way most people try to counter the conspiracists, and that is they try to denigrate the messenger and pay no attention to...the message.

While I do not watch or listen to any of the talking heads in media, just because Alex Jones says it, doesn't mean...it's not true.

Remember blogroids, two of the world's longest and largest conspiracy theories...were true. The world was round, not flat and later and for much longer...the world was not the center of the universe. People were judged insane, even put in jail...some tortured. For years countless...to believe otherwise and to say so, got you into real trouble.
