$1300, is that all? Compared to the bribary and dodgy payments, 'donations' and what not that go on thats pretty small. I am constantly hearing of these politician types sending each other money (probably laudered) way up into the millions. And your giving AJ a problem for passing back and forth a couple of grand?

I gonna guess that $1000 is some type of donation limit from someone in Alex Jones' campaign contribution classification.

yeah what Insolubrious said


and you just registered?

well isnt that special...

I've been having deep thoughts about Alex Jones ever since I met a guy who used to work with him, said he's a giant a-hole and he's a power hungry maniac. The guy's name was Adam, don't remember the last name... but there's always a possibility Adam was just blowing steam. Adam supported the truth movement, but said he'd think twice about following Alex Jones religiously..... oh and another interesting connection, speak of the devil, is his affiliation with Gensis Communications Network, which I've HEARD is a radical Evangelical Christian news network. I don't investigate much into Alex Jones or pay much attention to his stuff anymore, so I'm not saying anything I'm suggesting here is concrete, just a bit speculative. I just never got a good feeling about Alex Jones pushing a major presidential candidate... and let's face it, Ron Paul is a major presidential candidate now. The conspiratorialist in me is brewing with thoughts that all of this info that Alex Jones is putting forth may mostly be based in facts, but for what agenda? I feel suspicious about Alex's whole agenda. He really makes me uncomfortable... although I appreciate some of the info he's given us over the years...and I'll admit I watched Endgame and it kinda scared me what he was talking about... but there's the thing, Alex is pushing fear and anger onto an already paranoid and pissed off group of people, and I just think he's trying to incite something that's not gunna end peacefully or beneficially for anyone EXCEPT the very people he's supposedly fighting against.

Just my theory. Thanks for the article, duuude.

hey guys,

I actually registered some time ago and just forgot my login so I re-created it. What I'm saying here is that regardless of how much money it is - Alex Jones took money from Ron Paul's Campaign and Alex Jones fronted for him. It doesnt matter if Alex Jones took $1 (and btw $1300 is a lot of money and for many people outside of California thats a mortgage payment).

This is about objectivity and what was that money for? What did that $1300 buy? Airtime etc. And this is just a payment we know about because it has to be publicly disclosed. So who else has paid him how much for what.

I hope you see my point now. How can you trust his objectivity, how can you trust what he is saying, how can you trust him when he takes money from the people he is interviewing (and takes it directly). How do you know who he works for?


BTW I have nothing to say one way or another about Ron Paul. This is about Alex Jones.

The outrage is this. Good, bad, right, wrong Alex Jones and he network of sites are seen and treated as news sources - and before you get me on well big news agency yada takes money from foo but still reports on bar - I would remind you that the individual journalists do not.

So lets think of it this way. Anderson Cooper (just a name for use in explination) is paid $1500 by dow chemical (no reason why given) just check and deposit. So we know Anderson Cooper got $1500 and Dow Chemical signed the check. How would you feel if Anderson Cooper did a special on how great dow chemical was. Wouldn't you think that was a little suspect? Its like taking blood money or signing a deal with the devil - or whatever cliche you want to use.

Ok so Alex jones has Ron Paul on multiple times on his show then takes a PAYMENT (not donation but payment for services rendered) for $1300 which is a lot of money (and do please tell me if you guys disagree). All I'm asking is what was he paid to do, and if he accepted payment from ron paul - who else did he get paid by for what?

All I'm saying is this payment makes his objectivity suspect. Nothing more. I'm aksing a question, and aside from justifications I don't hear a lot of answers.

I'm not making a value judgement on Ron Paul, frankly I don't feel positive or negative about him and truthfully I trust no politicians period. I'm just pointing out this is a little odd and trying to get an answer and if you click on the link you'll see alot of other people are as well.

There really is nothing objective about ALEX JONES, he has a stated agenda, to bring down the New World Order. What other candidate would consider being interviewed by Alex Jones ? (Hillary,Rudy) What other candidate would the ALEX JONES listening audience want to hear ?

ALEX JONES is a for profit operation. Hosting a US Rep from TEXAS(Jones' home state), that is an official candidate for the US presidency is a big deal in alternative radio advertising markets.

If it is true that US presidents are "elected" and not "selected" then hopefully nobody would base their vote on the actions of a radio talk show host.
