Topic: Alex Jones: Why is anyone still listening?
I know many on NR are familiar with Alex Jones' questionable background, behaviour, and associations - and with the links below. However, he still holds the ear of many alternative researchers. Why? Perhaps because he is convincing, or perhaps as a woo-woo 'shock-jock' he knows how to press our buttons, manipulate our yearning for a "great revealing of truth", and get us to rally around what seems like a good idea/person/belief pattern (as most 'intel'-trained individuals do). I was previously an advocate for some of Alex Jones' films as recently as last year. Though it's always difficult finding out a negative truth of someone you've previously supported, it was also was sort of a relief which confirmed some early niggling suspicions... which I have to say were initially set aside.
So, below are a few links which will maybe help a few people get up to speed on Alex Jones. Bill Cooper's audio program on Alex Jones (in the 6 part YouTube section below) is probably the most clear evidence that there is something really wrong with the Alex Jones camp. In addition to some terrific observational comments, this contains a lot of the actual Dec 31, 1999 hysterical broadcast of Alex Jones.

The big picture makes more sense when we realize it's big. The disinfo and twisting of the public's good intentions occurs with probably most of the 'alternative' and new age sources on some level - especially if they are heavily promoted, or mostly likely* if they go on and on for years without sanction. (* Most likely, but not always, as there are possibly/probably individuals here at this time who have some sort of special protection for a specific purpose within the public eye for the greater good, negating attack or continually escaping being murdered - but be discerning about this also, as these types of missions are probably few and far between.)
I would suggest that the only valid reason to listen to or watch any of Alex Jones' media/propaganda, would be for the same reason one would watch CNN... to observe propaganda in action. Though, as even listening with this awareness could leave one still susceptible to entrainment, those who are on a path of pollution-riddance would choose not to listen. While those who are into studying the art of propaganda and charismatic entrainment, might still.
