So I did a little google on Alex Jones. It's been months since I've heard his program. On the local station I listen to sometimes, he's been replaced by a Mormon "Liberty" activist.
It looks like Jones has to turn over a lot of his financial stuff to the plaintiffs in the Sandy Hook case, pretty standard for any lawsuit involving financial damages.
It looks like Jones is now saying..... walking back his former rants the best he can..... that he had a sort of psychosis about everything being "staged".... . He was looking for anything that would support that, and that is why he brought on anyone who would claim to have anything to support that. He is now saying he's "learned a lot of things aren't staged".
I couldn't really claim to be an authority on Alex Jones. I caught his program maybe one a week, maybe once in three weeks, depending on what I was doing, where I was.
I recognized him as a zealot, a big talker, not at all a "cool head". I didn't expect analysis from him. I didn't expect "balance". He was a late-comer to the John Birch data base. Well, I have a nephew who was all into that, who is now a top executive working for a Chinese industrial giant.... for the Red Army, more or less. Times change. People change.
Alex went, or sent his folks, to the UN summits and to the sites of major elitist confabs of various sorts. He walked up to people with cameras and asked pointed unwelcome questions. The last of heard of him, he was in Mexico hanging out in a hotel where Bill and Hillary were also staying.
I heard his program, at least one of them, on the Sandy Hook thing being staged. I went over several web offerings offering stuff along that line, lots of aerial pics of the scene, and all. Like I went over the stuff on the Boston bombing.
So, I like living in a world where people can try to make a case one way or another. C'mon. Lemme see wut yah got.
A "staged event" is a common assertion in politics worldwide. Commies accuse their capitalist counterparts, and so does everyone else. "Remember the Maine".... the battlecry that got the US into the Spanish-American war, has been called a staged event. The Boston Tea Party was a staged event.
Before we go whole hog on litigation, someone oughtta calculate how many people seriously believed either Alex Jones or his source. Now, having folks come around your house and snarl hateful things at you is serious. Just about as serious as folks in JazzFanz howling at "babe" for all his wild speculations.
The seriousness of the Alex Jones "scoop" might be measured by my own reaction..... ho hum....doesn't that claim come up about everything that hits the news. So the fact that these people actually had homes in the school district, and had lived there for years..... pretty much destroys the "scoop" on Alex' program already.
Frankly, it'd take an idiot to miss that point enough to be willing to go down the family's street and shout slurs against them. I'd say it's those idiots doing that who must have been "paid actors". Now, who on earth would hire someone to do that????
Let's have a serious investigation on that.
There's a price we all pay to be free to speak our minds.
The price is being willing to endure what others say.
