I love Alex Jones ever since hearing him on the Jeff Rense radio show last year. I was very impressed. He's got such an infectious energy.]]>That's really interesting. Did it actually make it on to television - the part where Jones talked about MilitaryIndustrial Complex and 9-11? It would be great to find a vid clip of that online!
I don't know if the clip linked later in this thread is the one I saw, but I can confirm that he did appear on television. The clip was only about a minute, or less, and he brushed through things pretty quickly. About the MIC-9/11 he said the evidence is mounting that the M/IC thru intelligence agencies were behind 9/11 for the benefit of a small group of powerful politicians and corporations, the signs are there you can see the tyranny that is so close now, etc.
It's actually not terribly unusual to hear conspiracy theories on C-SPAN. Each morning from 7:00-10:00am Eastern they have "Washington Journal" which I really enjoy watching. This guy sits at a desk covered in newspapers, reading interesting articles, sometimes with guests, and taking calls - everyone from hardcore liberals, die-hard Bush fans, wacky out-there people like me. Most of the people calling to attempt to call attention to a conspiracy do so rather poorly, or just say "trust me....read David Icke" but that doesn't get anywhere. Or people that call and point out the Pentagon inconsistencies on 9/11. The guest usually doesn't consider these calls worthwhile. And of course there's enough people who call claiming that there's a Jewish conspiracy (not select members of Zionists, just all Jews) to allow anything out of the ordinary to be lumped together with those calls.
Now what would be really interesting is to have Jones or Icke or someone like that on Washington Journal for an hour taking calls and going through some of the real evidence and factual points. C-SPAN truly is amazing for how many viewpoints it shows (as opposed to the "fair & Balanced" Fox News), but even on C-SPAN I think they'd shy away from real look at conspiracies.
]]>From the clip, it appears that it did make it on the air. Just curious, can anyone confirm this?
doubtful, but I wonder . . . it didn't say on the page whether it did or not . . .
]]>I met Alex in fall 2003 when he came out to the Alamo Draft House theater in West Oaks Mall. They showed 9-11 The Road to Tyranny and THX 1138. He gave a 20+ minute speach and took only three questions. But he was outside the theater talking to fans the whole time the movies ran! I stood nearby the crowd of people around him and tried to make my presence 'felt'. Unfortunately, Alex didn't seem to notice my interest in talking to him or even my presence for that matter even after almost all the people in the crowd had dispursed.
He came off to me as a relatively insinitive person. Not only that, but there seemed something strange about him. He was probably just tired, touring, giving speeches and all.
]]>(i too, wonder how this got thru)
perhaps it was actually Live for reals the real deal.
They showed outside of the building the sea of protesters. The reporter said--
1) that this was the largest group of protesters ever to protest a political convention.
2) that there had been a nearby detention center especially erected that was able to house up to 1,000 arrestees a day. (!!!!)
3) the reporter called the protesters "These anarchists..."
My mate and I looked at each other with disbelief.. anarchists? What about just calling them "concerned Americans"?
The reporter, a female, so wreaked of partiality. My mate said, "What a bee-otch!", and contrary to my usual normal fashion concerning this kind of name calling I didn't argue with him.
