Using profanity is a sign of immaturity and ignorance. Please grow up and try to make your point without saying the F word every other sentance. It makes you look stupid and hard to take seriously.
Alex Jones, at least in his "update" did not say you can't buy Flouridated Toothpaste...but that there's more options and in SOME STORES the non-flouridated toothpastes are given top shelf space. The fact that you found AIM, Colgate or Crest in a store does not mean he's "sold out". I mean, is he personally profitting by the stores selling these flouridated brands? NO. Is he profiting from people buying non-flouridated brands? I don't know...maybe he owns some stock in those brands..but he's not selling his own product.
Your video makes absolutely no sense and you seem like someone who wasted a bunch of time trying to prove a point that wasn't needed to be proven.

wakes people up, at least enough to go check the facts themselves
Aint that the truth, I use to listen to him, but one day I researched a few things he said and what do you know he lied....
He does not FORCE YOU to BUY ANYTHING, all the vids are free on youtube, all his movies are free on youtube,

When his information is bad then people generally tend to blame him for that.

AJ is a douche and all, but honestly, who freaking cares, and why is the guy in the video so pumped up that he's almost shaking the whole time? He go do some lines at the pool hall then grab his camera?
Ohhh you've solved the toothpaste dilemma, bravo.
Almost forgot to ask, how exactly does AJ being confused relate to him selling "us" out for 85 cents? Did he cave to "big toothpaste" ? You thought the bankers had power? They've got nothing on Colgate.
The fact remains, 10 years ago I had to go to specialty stores to get fluoride free toothpaste, now I can get it anywhere.

OK, I've had to explain this before, but the mout breathers just don't seem to get these points.... so let's start from the begining.
#1. Genesis network is not owned by Disney Corporation. Genesis leases satellite space, like many other media sources from ABC, who is in turn owned by Disney. The fact that they are leasing space does not mean that Disney has any editorial control over Genesis' content at all. This is the same as renting a car from Avis, then saying that Avis now is your empoyer.
#2. Do you have any idea how much bandwidth costs these days? Do you have any idea what kind of traffic Prison Planet and Infowars generates, and how much it costs them to maintain their internet connections, servers, firewalls, CDN, software licesnses, and on and on and on??? The show is webcast for free live and on-demand. It is also availabe in video format on youtube for free. All of his movies (with the exception of Loose Change The FInal Cut) are available for free. The subscriptions are in addition to his sponsorship money. Despite the fact that his show is one of the most popular shows in the country, and his audience is demographically an advertisers wet dream (young, educated and mostly affluent) do you hear advertisments from the big boys on there? Any ads from Budweiser? GM? Restaurant Chains? No... it's DIamond Gussett Jeans and eFoods...these guys are small potatoes in the sponsorship world, and AJ and crew must make up the difference somewhere...otherwise they would not be able to produce and distribute the huge amount of free content they do produce.
I am not an Alex Jones apologist... I think he's a very smart and savvy business man who's sometimes let his passion lead him over the line. He's human- and that's part of why I like him. He helped wake me up, along with millions of people World-wide, so he's always going to be alright in my book- even if I don't listen to him much, if at all lately.
