I've been watching Alex Jones since 2016 and I don't see Alex as wrong. Most of the time, people think he is wrong because they take him out of context and lie. Stuff about Sandy Hook for example, not true. But I was watching a video where a famous conservative guy might have said Alex talked about Russia attacking America around 2000. According to this particular video, if the audio was not dubbed in later on by a random person, it sounds like the man is saying Alex scared a bunch of people.
I would have to investigate that, if Alex said it then was Russia really planning to attack or what happened? If it turns out Alex did say things like that for example and if it turns out Russia was not going to attack at all, then we could conclude Alex scared a bunch of people for no reason. But we would also have to look into why Alex said those things too if he did say things like that. Alex has said he sometimes got things wrong. But we all get things wrong. Who here is perfect? So, why do we only talk about perfection with Alex? He aint no Jesus. It is insane to only act like Alex should be perfect while also ignoring how humans get things wrong.
Why do we say things like that about Alex Jones and not about our parents or our own bodies or other people in our lives? That is insane. Saying that people are not perfect is like saying rain is wet. People get things wrong. Why does Alex have to be perfect when we all know we are not perfect? Plus, why do we say Alex sucks for not being perfect while fake news is constantly lying to us on purpose in order to depopulate all of the people on the planet or worse?
I've been watching Alex since around 2002. Perhaps that is why I have seen him wrong a few times. :)
EDIT: I am not referring to the times he was just off on the timeframe. I don't care as much about that.
How is that different than the fact that every human gets things wrong? Why do we compare him to Jesus?
Slow down. YOU are the one that said you have never seen him get anything wrong. I said I have. I said it doesn't happen that often. Then I told you that some of them were only wrong by time frame and those are NOT the ones I am talking about as I personally don't care about time frame most of the time.
I also told you I am not in the position to search for examples. I've also been watching him for A LOT longer than you have. I haven't seen him wrong over anything for awhile. Most of the stuff he was wrong about was quite some time ago.
I also don't watch him every day. I don't keep track of everything he says.
I also don't compare him to Jesus... I am technically not a Christian. I am a Deist. I don't view any human as infallible, unquestionable, etc. That includes Jesus if he actually existed.
With that said... if you are Christian. I am fine with you believing whatever you want about Jesus. As long as you don't expect to be able to force me to agree. I'd much prefer people be Christians than the vast majority of religions.
Anyway... you won't find me comparing anyone to Jesus, or a God.
I don't have a problem with Alex being wrong. He is human. It is YOU who said you've never seen him be wrong.
I was pretty pissed off at Alex years ago. He did some truly asshole stuff to people that were on his side. Then I reminded myself he is human and makes mistakes just like the rest of us.
That involved a gun rights protest in Austin.
I think I agree with Alex Jones in disagreeing with other people on our side and I am an asshole too, I interrupt people, I yell, I do all those things and I believe in doing those things. I agree with Alex regarding gun rights. Lately, I've been studying what Alex has been saying his whole entire life, I'm writing a series, a biography on his life. So, these past few weeks, I've been reading and watching a bunch of things relating to Alex and I'm sorting through all of the theories people have had on him and I'm looking at things he has said.
I've said in the past things like Alex said nothing wrong or I don't always remember what I say. But there's a difference between Alex saying things that may be wrong and saying things I might disagree with. Plus, I make mistakes and I may not always take the time to explain what I mean when I talk about him over the years. I'm evolving. I'm not perfect either. I'm trying to remain open minded regarding Alex.
After writing some general outlines on the life of Alex Jones, then I may try to write articles to talk about things that I may disagree with or things Alex may have been wrong about. I may try to discuss theories about Alex Jones.
But at the same time, it is important to remember that Alex Jones generally would let us know what the globalists and others were planning to do, what they thought, what they were trying to do, what they were doing, etc, and when some of those things do not happen, that does not mean he was wrong.
Y2K is a big example. If Alex Jones warned people about Y2K, then it was partly due to others making it a big deal about which was partly or maybe even mostly fake news to create panic. But it was still a potential problem which was partly prevented or so people say. Computers, machines, hardware, software, etc, running power plants, etc, were fixed or so we were told. But my theory is if they were not fixed, things may have been worse. And perhaps some computers did malfunction, perhaps Y2K was a problem. But my argument would be it could have been worse and perhaps warning people about it motivated more technicians, programmers, etc, to try to fix the clock problem from going from the year 99 back to 00 meaning 1900 instead 2000 as it was on a 2-digit clock system or so we were told.
Y2K is just one example. I think I mentioned how Alex might have said that Russia was going to attack around that time as well. I still need to investigate that one. And the list goes on and on.
But many times, Alex would simply say what others said meaning if Alex was wrong, he was simply the messenger in those types of situations. So, I'm trying to make a distinction between what Alex said and what others said which Alex simply repeated to pass it on. And Alex generally says certain things will happen if we don't stop those things. Alex has said that many times and when terrible things which Alex mentioned did not or does not happen, then it can be argued that Alex was not wrong meaning those thing would have happened had good people not stopped them from happening.
So, I say all that to say it is crazy nuance to describe differences between things Alex said, things Alex echoed, things Alex mentioned which people went on to stop from happening, things Alex would warn might happen, things Alex believe will will will happen no matter what, things that Alex believes in which people may agree with or disagree with. Again, there is a lot of nuance here and Alex has evolved over the years, Alex has grown in not getting lost in the different types of news which he would comment on over the years mostly as a commentary.
I think I like the ideas of deism because it is pretty based on the value of the scientific method, I mean that it supports the value of obtaining truth, knowledge, evidence, facts, that is on the physical or natural level, the three main dimensions we live in. But I also believe in higher dimensions, meaning supernatural things which science may not always be capable of measuring. But science is a good foundation as we live in three dimensions and anything beyond that is extremely challenging to grasp assuming there are higher or lower dimensions.
Alex Jones gets things right more often than everyone else.
I don't like terms like EVERYONE, NOONE, NEVER, etc. Absolutes. They are usually wrong.
I can't say whether what you are saying is true or not as I don't know what "everyone" else is saying.
I'd say he does tend to be right about the cutting edge stuff more than anyone I can think of for the moment. Other people tend to lag behind him about a week, a month, and sometimes even years before they come around to what he was talking about and ridiculed for.
I think the world would be in far worse shape than it already is if it was not for Alex Jones and Infowars/Prison Planet. He exposed some stuff and countered some plans by doing so quite a few times.
I started paying attention to him not long after 9/11. Infowars didn't actually exist yet it was all on Prison Planet back then.
Infowars had a website going back to 1999, you can see evidence of this on the Wayback Machine and Infowars was a company that was first registered in 1999. Prison Planet was a website that started after Infowars. Eventually, Prison Planet went on to have a forum on it, it started growing in popularity.
Yeah I think you are right. They were just pushing Prison Planet a lot more at the time. Then they went back to using Infowars which I think is a better name. The name was registered but they were not really taking advantage of it a lot.
Prison Planet had a forum when I saw it. It was a year or two after 9/11 so either 2002 or 2003 when I started visiting it, buying the documentaries, etc.
By the way, Alex Jones is on Friday Night Tight Live on YouTube right now:
Oh and by the way over the years I have actually heard Alex say he was wrong about something a few times. It is pretty rare and it blurs in with a lot of different shows. I go through periods where I'll watch his material and that from infowars quite a bit. Now I tend to check a couple of times a month at the moment.
Everyone says they get things wrong. So, why do people single out Alex Jones if we all drink water for example? Like, oh my God, I saw a cat drinking milk. Like huh, do other cats not drink milk? What is this thing people have with Alex who is just a person?
You are asking the wrong person. I've defended him for the same reasons numerous times.
And Alex Jones is mostly a symbolic to me. I try not to think too specifically about the actual person of Alex Jones and instead focus on the symbol of how Alex Jones influences popular culture globally these past four decades going back to around 1995 when he was starting his television show and later on when he started his radio show after that.
