Alex Jones is a pure sensationalist, fear-mongering fraud.
Other than that, he is a genius.
But Glenn Beck is even better at it, in fact when it comes to exploiting fear and paranoia no one on the planet is better than Beck.
At the end of the day, they just want to sell stuff and make money, the good old fashioned way, by using manipulative propaganda, fabrications, distortions, lies and topped off with a major dose of sensationalized fear-mongering.
Either should do well here at ATS, as long as they come with source links and pics and, a really good story.

There in lies the problem. Most AJ fans do NOT research what he says. You all simply hear him say "Dont take my word for it, look it up" and you all assume that lends him credibility he does not deserve and you simply refuse to look it up.
Here on ATS, many of you that attempt to prove things he says, can only ever reference HIS websites as proof.
HE LIES alllllllllllllll the time. Every day on the radio he says many many things that when you do look them up, ARE NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT TRUE.
How about this. All you AJ fans that claim he "woke you up" how about you tell us what you have done differently since you have been awake. Now that he woke you up, what is different aside from the amount of time you spend posting his crap on the web? I am really interested in knowing the answer to this.
"AJ WAKES PEOPLE UP TO THE TRUTH!"
LMAO.
He woke me up to the "truth" that George Bush was implementing a dictatorship.
He woke me up to the "truth" that Bill Clinton was implementing a dictatorship.
He woke me up to the "truth" that George Bush Junior was implementing a dictatorship.
Now...sigh he is waking me up...to the "truth"....that Obama....snorrrrre
I have had enough of him "waking me up" for no good damn reason.
Hey, you let me know what you all do now that you are awake 20+ years running. Maybe I am just being awake the wrong way.

ya know I'm gunna have to defend AJ on this because this guy offers nearly 100% if his videos/movies for free, and as for the fear mongering when we have people putting fluoride in our water, mercury in our vaccines, Aspartame in our food and openly tells us that they want a one world government I think there absolutely something to fear and if people aren't afraid then they wont get mad and if they don't get mad then they will do nothing. AJ can be very intense sometimes but I think it's just because he believes in what he does.

I heard him once and that was enough for me.

That is NOT how we post on ATS. Is that how Jones supporters talk? No wonder there's a gulf between the sites. 2 different audiences. One that thinks, one that attacks anything against it. I'll digress and let you figure out which is which.

Yeah, he's like that band u kinda like, they have a few good songs across a handful of albums, so you either use the seek button alot on your player, or just compile the good songs together on 1 cd.
Most of the time I listen because he'll have an interesting guest. I skip the no guest and caller only shows.

[A] long-range view of history makes it clear that if the so-called lower classes had waited around until the ruling class decided to give them their liberty, they would have never had any liberty at all. What liberty they have managed to create and maintain for themselves has been the product of their own acts of defiance and rebellion, some bolld and violent, others relatively peaceful, but all inevitably rowdy adn unruley. The champions of liberty have not all been knights in shining armor - more frequently they were rebellious peasants, riotous apprentices, outraged artisans, thwarted smugglers, unruly mobs, and lawless vigilantes.
Just as there are far too many liberal intellectuals who were caught clueless by the latest populist revolt [Town Hall meetings about Healthcare reform] and who see it only as a frightening outbreak of mass lunacy, so there are those on the right who are prepared to shamelessly manipulate and exploit populist anxiety to serve their selfish purposes. The incomprehension of the liberal elite is dangerous because it underestimates the potential explosiveness of the current populist upheaval - those who ignore it, or prefer to wish it or explain it away, do so at their peril - and at the peril of their society. The opportunism of the populist demagogue is equally dangerous, however, because the demagogue all too often call into being demonic forces that take on a life of their own, beyond his control, creating havoc in the body politic.... There is an inherent danger in all populist revolts: Once resistance against authority has reached a certain point, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep it in check.... Eventually a point of no return is reached, when all efforts to govern the society are baffled, so that no other options remain except revolution and civil war. Many other societies, including our own, have reached this point in the past. Ours may well reach this point in the future.
