BBC Demonizes Alex Jones

[ELVIS]

Not too sure it's 'demonisation'.

The BBC reporter is simply asking him question and - I might add - allowing him the space to elaborate on his theories/connections (for over 7 minutes). The issue is that Alex Jones does not like having his gospel questioned (which is why he gets angry). The irony is, much of his outrage is shared by most people (the BBC included) regarding tax laws etc - they just don't spin moral vaccumms into 'they're all out to get us' conspiracies.

I'll say this about Alex Jones, however - he's committed.

That's a rarity these days...

Indeed. And if he'd learn a) not to lose his temper so quickly when questioned; and b) to listen to others who question him, he would be a much bigger force to be reckoned with.

He knows that...he's said as much on his radio show on more than one occasion...

Jones is wrong about some things but he's on the scent with no signs of stopping...

What I've watched jones , and it ain't a lot . His style of journalism comes across less investigation more selling something IMO .
He maybe hits on valid points but they get diluted with his desire to highlight his agenda of a grand unification theory of conspiracy .
Once again IMO .

Please excuse my lack of pomposity and absolute certainty in this post .

More like he should be...

Wrong! Here's how you demonize Alex Jones the right way.

Actually, the term you're looking for is certifiable.

It's ridiculous that this lobby group gets access to our politicians. Kissinger is a criminal as are a lot of these other people. The taxation systems are ludicrous.

But when Jones and the rest come out with childish crap like this lobby group secretly run the world it actually gives them a smokescreen to hide behind.

[Seshmeister]

How did that in anyway demonize him anyway?

Also if he thinks that the rich running the world would stop pensions for the police who protect their wealth he is dumber than I thought...

Exactly. We all - or, most of us - share the same sense of moral outrage at the taxation practices of these groups and the fact that our governments won't do anything about it. But we don't move from observing that immoral behaviour to assuming that there is a world-wide conspiracy.

Same building blocks, different structure. What one sees as proof of almost super-human malevolence/organisation, the other sees as proof of an inability to act (as result of ineptitude on the part of politicians, and a world driven by the stock market on the part of business).

THEY DO FUCKING RUN THE WORLD !!

IT'S NOT A SECRET !!

They control everything from the manipulation of the worlds money supply to strong arming oil rich countries to poisoning the food supply and the vaccinations to the poor...

Jones did nothing but act professional in that clip and he was armed with facts, as always...

We all know you're on the side of the rich and the powerful, Sesh...

I think that may have been a response to Jones trying to get closer to the place where the meeting was being held and the police essentially telling him to fuck off. That's how I read the video.
