Clearly the government knew they could sabotage Alex Jones by slowing his server to a crawl. It was all a setup by TPTB to make him look bad!

Alex Jones apologizes for "hoax"

His 'apology' is buried about as deep into the article as the 'disclaimer' was that he finally got around to embedding in the original piece.

Schmuck.(Jones, that is)

The "hoax?" tag has been removed from the one thread, and both have been removed from the Hoax forum, and back to the 9/11 forum.

I'm still working on getting in touch with Alex directly (I have the direct line to his booking agent).

There we go. It is all settled now.

Now that I have my explanation, I take this back:

I think that people should let bygones be bygones and forget about this one. In the end it will hopefully accomplish much more than a couple of hurt egos.

However, I have no doubt that this topic will soon be filled with absolute hate for one of the few men spearheading a movement we stand for here on ATS, but I suppose that is only going to continue happening.

I mean, jeeze, unity is the REAL hoax am I right?

Umm.... but it was a hoax and is still a hoax.... why would it be not be labeled a HOAX?

Separately, a few other blogs were up in arms about Sheen’s letter being a “hoax” because the disclaimer clarifying that the meeting with Obama was a stylized fictional account and not a real event did not get added to the bottom of the article until a little later due to technical snafus and a bombardment of traffic that shut down servers and locked out Infowars and Prison Planet webmasters.

(OP source)

Sure, why not ... a web page that was written and prepared before the show started couldn't be disclaimed properly because of the traffic generated after the show started. I would have gone with "the NWO ate my homework" excuse but what do I know.

I couldn't help but notice that the ad for his movie was in the middle of this page too ...

This is spam and unethical marketing 101, generate your own drama to create traffic and chalk it up to a "snafu." If you believe this one you might as well do yourself a favor and implant your own chip and lie down and wait in a FEMA coffin because at this juncture you'll believe just about anything.

AJ might be crazy but he's obviously not stupid, he generated huge traffic for his site and attention for himself with a nothing story. Hell, the "snafu" became a bigger story that anything else. I have to hand it to him though, he sure knows how to play his peeps for his own interest.

Live and learn eh? (or maybe not)

What is everyone talking about? This disclaimer? He knew it was bull when he (with a straight face) said it was the biggest event ever in his career, the day before it was put up. So why not put the disclaimer on before you post? It was an obvious and deliberate joke, as is Alex Jones. Please stop listening to this clown, he is detracting from a topic that some here really care about. There is a lot of doubt about his true motives; this actually makes him look ridiculous. I have said on another post that he will come up with some excuse and here it comes.

sorry makes no sense

just because web server is down doesn't mean you can't upload to FTP site and update web page.

doesn't work like that sorry.

even IF there is some dependancy in their infrastructure then could have temporarily closed the http port for a 3 seconds, upload the updated web page, then reopen the http port, amongst a host of other options.

Anyone aware of all the facts surrounding the controversy should quickly pick up on how this apology is an insulting pile of BS. I've explained it too many times to do it again but the 'mistake/traffic/webmaster' explanation doesn't make any good sense at all.

I don't bye the apology. When that article broke on infowars at 8:00 am I was able to read it, and posted a comment within 10 mins, my comment was posted very simply as
"This is not real" and was easily in the top 25 comments on the site. While the rest of the comments were, "good job Charlie", or "Charlie your the man!" and on and on what a awesome thing Mr. Sheen has done. Well when I went back on infowars that afternoon(Tues) my post "This is not real" was taken off the comments section.
That is why I do not bye his apology, they knew exactly what they were doing when they put up this B.S on infowars

Where did Reverend Jones apologize for anything? That article wasn't written by him and granted my eyes are tired, but I failed to see him even quoted.
