As much as I dislike Alex Jones he has a right to be whatever he wants to be.

Nancy Grace inspires more fear than Mr. Jones.

A scaremonger? I don't know.

For sure a ratings monger though hahah.

Well then the radio waves are filled with scaremongerers, so is the Internet and ....
ATS.....

And going back to that age old problem, like who do we believe? MSM??

Although I don't listen to Jones himself on the radio, I occasionally check out prisonplanet/infowars. 99% of the stuff there is just articles from other sources with a conspiratorial spin. What he/they are doing is no different than what any other news outlet does, and I don't think the term 'scaremonger' is a very fair label. If you're going to call Jones and his cohorts that, you're going to have to call everyone in the media that as well.


TA

What's that old adage: Don't shoot the messenger.

How does he benefit from reporting on fearful situations/ events?

Is The reporting of bad news fear mongering? Better question. Is shouting scary to you?

Want to know what's scary? The book Eco Science.

Want to know what's even scarier then the book? The author's grip on health in America.

Want to know what's not scary? A chubby Texan screaming about it's content to let others know.

If you don't like the show, don't listen. Don't go around badgering the guy. Just turn it off... Jesus, why is this concept hard for people to understand?
It's a freedom we all have, flip it off...

Oh and it's funny how people question is legitimacy. Granted he's not 100 percent correct all of the time, but he's more correct then our last two Administrations have been. Crap I hear stuff from Jones, months before it's mentioned in the MSM. His guests are credible people. And the big one.

I've watched all his movies, and listen to his show every day...

FOR FREE (how does Jones Benefit from this?)

I like his show. What strikes me odd is why people characterize people who watch the Alex Jones show or listen to his show every day as his zombies or mindless pawns which he can do with as he pleases. I object to that. I am not his mindless pawn. I like listening to his show and I have my own opinions and I have my own way of seeing the world. Alex Jones has his own vision of the world. His analysis of news differs from mine. I don't think he's a scare-mongerer. I don't think he scares us enough. I mean, society is pretty bad already right now. People have no clue how bad it is, or, how to fix it. So, I say AJ doesn't really scare you enough really.

I used to listen to his show every day from about January to May. If you want to hear fearmongering that is recent with him, go back and listen to the show he did when the swine flu started hitting in April. He blew the entire situation out of proportion while having guests on from Mexico who were saying it was worse than what the media was reporting on and were saying there were people dying all over the place. Instead of waiting a second to confirm this story and see what was really going on, he ran with it and I can say it scared me because I was following the whole thing from about a week beforehand. Then the next week he never even mentioned that he got any of that information wrong and said that he was right the whole time that it was a false alarm. Now, he did say the week before that it seemed like it was all hype, but to push the fear even more so than the MSM was doing I don't think was any better. I haven't listened to a full show since. I've tried on a couple occasions, but when he starts going off on his idiotic rants it just turns me off anymore. Then seeing him have face painted like the joker and parading around like a moron really made me wonder if he's trying to make the whole truth movement look like a joke. To people who say he's not in it for the money, how do you explain the joker socialism t-shirt that I saw posted on his website literally like 2 days after that whole thing became popular or the fact that he just had a money bomb not too long ago and was planning on having another one soon or just had it. Then the whole Bohemian Grove "infiltration" really makes me question who's side he's really on. Sure, he gave his reason being that those people thought that he was one of the male prostitutes that they hire for the people there, but I don't buy that for a second. Most of those people that are in that club would know who he is and what he looked like. He never had to show ID to anybody and then said he was staying with the Hillbillies and that automatically removes any suspicion that the people guarding the grove would have against him. I don't think they're that stupid to just accept that and not ask any more questions.

I will admit, I still read the articles on his website every day as well as the comments on his website, and if you read that, there is so much hatred, racism, and paranoia on there that it gets kind of ridiculous. There's no room for any debate there. If you don't believe 100% of what he says, you're automatically deemed a shill, troll, or disinfo agent.

What also puzzles me is if the NWO was really scared by what he was saying, they would have taken him out around the same time as Bill Cooper. Do you notice that people like Bill Cooper, Rik Clay, Fritz Springmeier, and Phil Schneider were killed/jailed, but you have people like Alex Jones, David Icke, Jordon Maxwell, and others going around free without anything happening to them? That really throws up red flags for me when it comes to these people.
