Does anyone on here think that Alex Jones should take a lie detector test? I know some people think he may be a disinfo agent. I personally think he trying to make a living by praying on the gullable. I think most of his theories are so far fetched it is rediculous. I personally dont even think he believes them. I challange him to take a polygraph test from some independent accredited examiner. I wish them to ask him if he believes in what he says. Here are just a few questions he could ask:

Do you believe there is a NWO that is about to take over the world?

Do you believe that the US government is giving away its land to the United Nations?

Do you think that there is a conspiracy to release the bird flu and start a pandamic that will wipe out 80% of the US's population?

Obviously the list goes on and on. I would be willing to help pay for a test if I had others too and he accepted. Hell, if he passed it, I would have much more respect for him then I do right now. Right now I think it is purely for income purposes. Feel free to add questions to the list if you like. If I get some people who want to see this I will email him and see if I can get a response, which I doubt I would. Also to those who listen to him like he is telling the Gospel, what would you do if he failed the test? If you found out he actually doesnt believe in anything he is telling you?

Lie detectors aren't an exact science friend and there are multiple ways to either get a false positive or the cheap the system. Alex taking one of these would be completely pointless.

Look Alex does sensationalize things a bit with his films and his rhetoric, but you can't deny the hard facts he's brought to the table in regards to his message.

Everybody needs to make a dollar in this world in order to get ahead, and nobody would be recognized or be heard without some well placed marketing.

I've done enough research on things Alex Jones said that I thought were total exaggerations, and found them all to be true, that there's no need for a lie detector test in my opinion.

On the other hand, I think a lie detector test would produce the results you're expecting if you applied it to Obama, Geithner, Bush, Cheney, and about 3,000 others in the banking and politics world. I don't care what party the politician is with either. This goes right across both party lines.

Why should he take a lie detecter?
to make you feel better about the possibility of telling the truth or to get caught out on a small technicality and then discredit him as being a total lier.

He may exagerate and claim that this or that is in main stream media, that does not mean that he is not giving out information worth listening to.

Just like all truthers, we must not rely on just one source and we must not blindly believe what we hear.
Common sense is a wonderful thing.

I feel that too many people follow him blindly, especially if he is doing this only to make a profit and doesnt even believe it himself.

I just have to shake my head every time I hear people accuse Alex Jones of doing what he does for the purposes of profit. Of all the high profile radio and news shows hosts (Coombs, Hannity, Beck, etc.), Jones is the one and only person who not only permits, but encourages that you take money out of his pocket by reproducing his videos. How in hell you can suggest that his motive is "profit" is just beyond me. Where's your logic? I mean... where are you getting your information that suggests "he doesn't even believe it himself"? Are you inside his head or something? I don't think many posters here are going to be sucked in by your motives, tide88.

Alex Jones is a radio show host who is good at selling himself and his products - as well as advertising space.

Much of what he says is true, a lot of it unverified, and a fair share of total BS is mixed in for leavening.

A good starting point for teenagers or like-minded getting into alternative news and politics.

Tiresome after a short time because you never really know how true anything he says really is, or if there's any truth to it at all.

He's just processing tons of information with a special twist on it. He has built up a following in a generation too attention deficit to read actual books, look for credible news sources, etc.

Some young people already say they first thought about things listening to him.

An innocuous entertainer, but a celeb in the conspiracy world.

I understand the point he is trying to make and the patriot act and h.r. 645 are two totally different things. If you read the patriot act it obviously gives broad power to do whatever is necessary to protect the nation. Too broad, yes, I agree. However h.r. 645 is a bill that is for helping those in times of emergency. Every part of the bill is for helping those in need during an emergency.

You ever been through a hurricane. I live in SWFL and have been through many. One Natural disaster that destroy peoples lives and homes. Some dont have anywhere to go, jobs are lost as well as everything they own. What about earth quakes. What if the big one hit california. What are we going to do with all those people.

No where in HR 645 does it even hint at anything ominous. If the whole bill is there to help those during disaster how can one come to the conclusion it gives the SHS the power to send people unwillingly to "fema death camps" Show me one place in HR645 that you could come to the conclusion that it gives the right to imprison US citizens. THere are probably hundreds of bill that give broad powers to those in governement during time of national disaster or emergency, however it doesnt mean we are being shipped off to this faux camps.

And btw, no offense to alberta and tothetenthpower, but you dont even live in the USA. How many national disasters have you lived through? I rather that person have the power to do what is necessary to get people basic necessities then they be worried about the consequences after the fact.
