alex says its not about him….
hes right….
its about the merchandise he is peddling to you “the sky is falling” types….scoop it up…make him rich….
July 19th, 2008 at 7:13 am
Alex is right, it does not matter where the information is coming from or how it is being expressed their is no time to fight or argue with this the important thing is we spread this information as far and wide as we possibly can, the reason being the elite are spreading their net as far as they can it is not a time to be afraid the power is in the many not the few ,we are all encompassing love the elite are only temporary fear and that is always changeable.
July 19th, 2008 at 7:20 am
You mean the merchandise that is available for free online.
Youre so dead on.
I mean I just paid Alex nothing the other day to watch his new documentary with a couple of friends.
It was once again life changing but Alex made out like a bandit.
Next thing you know our families will be watching it for free too.
Its so clearly about money.

When you don’t like the message and cannot deny the truth your only alternative is to attack the messenger.
Truly it is about reality however in america we spend most our time living according to fantasy and I make reference to the lying traditions we hold to be true and celebrate in blindness.
Proclaim the truth you know and more will be revealed deny truth and your illusions will be a delusion.

Hi FK,
You NWO Shill, why are you even reading this site as you are abviosly a butt kissing soul selling NWO lover.
July 19th, 2008 at 7:46 am
I agree FX to a degree. Of course he wants to make money so he can buy more gold and silver bullion.
Anyone will a website will try to make as much money as they can if it’s setup for commercial purposes and these websites are primarily for making quid, or they wouldn’t be riddled with advertising.
Still, there remains a common theme to Alex’s views over the 10+ years he’s been doing this, regardless of greedy motivations.
July 19th, 2008 at 7:48 am
to FK
The products he pushes are form his sponsors, they get the money, not him. His films are all available for free all over the net, especially on Google. If these past 7 years don’t show you the kind of trouble we’re in, then you’re as dumb and moronic as you come off. Denying reality doesn’t make it a fact. But then, ad hominem attacks are all you can come up with, because you cannot come up with any facts that disputes the messages he presents.

All the bickering is sickening, I gotta agree with ya, Alex. The problem is that a lot of folks have been programmed to be followers, so they look to guys like you to tell them what to do, and they hang on your every word… Then they fail to realize just how busy you are and take offense when you don’t get back to them, cuz let’s face it, THEY are the center of the universe – or so they think.
Don’t get things twisted, folks… It’s obvious we all have a common enemy, and it’s not each other. Realize you are giving the powers that be what they want when you forget about the real problems and go around wasting time, hating on each other. Get off your ass and wake people up – you can do it just like Alex does, by any means you can.
July 19th, 2008 at 8:41 am
i dont know why i waste my time with you people
ok fk?…. in 6 to 7 years Ive given Alex nothing. yup sorry alex im poor. i sell Prints of my photography for a living, im a shill too i guess. but i bearly scrape by.
ALEX IS YOUR ALARM SYSTEM!!! that’s right he’s telling you somebody has infiltrated your defenses, boldly announcing, “THIS IS NOT A DRILL, ALL PATRIOTS TO THEIR BATTLE STATIONS! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!” that is all Ive been hearing for years and all i see you guys do is cover your ears and cry like a baby because the alarms are too loud and are scaring you. ITS AN ALARM! NOT A LULLABY.
And i agree with him, it isn’t about him, never thought it was. even a dog understands that. it about the news/Alex’s opinion, but you will make him a celebrity and a nwo guru of some sort, rather than see him as a Fearless Man, a Mighty father, a Dedicated son, and a Hell of a patriot.
you are mentally sick, you need help, seriously. you spent time to attack a guy who makes his money in a unique way. i find that to be a neat thing
What do you do? laborer or pen pusher? what do you do for money? i’m sorry you cant make money the way you would like and in the amounts you like, maybe spend your time getting a better job than Alex? where you don’t have to shamefully push your documentaries like a shill to feed your family of 4. i think its 4 now? duh no don’t care. what kind of man are you? do you take care of any one?
July 19th, 2008 at 8:52 am
Focusing on the messanger is a tactic to deflect from the message. It’s that simple.
Who would go out of their way to make themselves a target for ridicule, not to mention the forces AJ rails against, unless you’re simply compelled to get the truth out no matter the cost?
Those of us who have been trying to do this have suffered far more than if we were to just went about our lives as we normally did before we found the truth. We’ve become enstranged from family and friends, been ridiculed and threatened. Does anyone think this is fun? Alex is a smart man, don’t you think he could find a better way to make a living other than this?
We do do this, Alex does this, because it’s the right thing to do.
July 19th, 2008 at 10:36 am
Than why don’t you change your behavior then Jones. Stop yelling people down that debate what you say. Stop muting their mic and turning down their mix so they can’t be heard. Stop gatekeeping the information that we all know needs to be heard.
I love how when you expose liars and thieves you’re fighting the New World Order, but when we fight you lie and steal (and that money bomb was theft in my opinion) you call it infighting.
Just stfu and do your thing, but if you think anyone sees you as a victim you are just as detached from reality as those you rail against.

To the rest of you “head in the sand” patriots. Truth is not a fucking industry. Wake up.
July 19th, 2008 at 10:49 am
Alex couldn’t be more demonized than Rush Limbaugh. That poor man probably gets millions of hate email every month, and his message isn’t even about martial law or world government.
July 19th, 2008 at 10:51 am
Keep your chin up Alex. Dont let the knuckle heads get to you. You are doing a great job. Those who are destined to wake up will wake up.
July 19th, 2008 at 10:53 am
Hx It’s pretty obvious now; “you’re living the dream.” Wouldn’t wanna be ya. Keep up the good work of obfuscation, you envious bastard. It’s also obvious from your bleating that the truth is hurting your sorry ass.
July 19th, 2008 at 11:08 am
We will all soon face the reality of evil when we are forced to wake up — Alex or no Alex.
Come discuss this (and MORE)….

July 19th, 2008 at 11:24 am
well said NOLevee , i am so thankful for all the people who have been putting out their message to all of us who have been asleep but now are waking up,alex jones works hard to get the message to us. me and my daughter was watching alex the other day and he said he was born on 2/11/74, and we about fell out of are chair i think that makes him around 33 34 and he looks older and i looked at my dauthger and said this is what all the hard work of informing the people about the real truth of whats really happening to this country ,i do believe he truley cares. i dont do enough but i am working on it i am spreading the word. my son came down from elkhart a couple weeks ago and i ask him to watch loosechange and it blowed his mind changed his whole outlook on life and he took it home and to work and started telling everyone what really happened on 9 11 and they ridiculed him but guess what someone did go watch and then it spread thoughout the whole plant and people have come to him and said dude this is unreal and it changed their lives it spread like a forest fire out of control now they are all checking out everything, my life will never be the same i look at everything in a different way sence that first time i watched and listen and i thank alex and all the other groups and people THAT ARE PUTTING OUT THE MESSAGE . WE LOVE YOU ALEX JONES KEEP ON DOING WHAT YOUR DOING PLEASE NEVER STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 19th, 2008 at 11:40 am
I don’t think the sky is falling. I listen to Alex because he covers more news than I would normally ever hear from other sources. MUCH LOVE TO ALEX JONES!!!!
July 19th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Let me see what I can add to the mix here since for some reason I cannot see the clips. What has been said is apparently enough until I know more what this is all about.
Alex Jones….Nice of you once again to do something or pick up on something I have said to you, in this case, the title of this article.
See that people? People here are saying that Alex does not listen, yet I know he does. Maybe Alex knows who I am and has been listening to my advice at times because of name recognition, but even if not, then he has shown to read and pay attention at least to some things sent his way or what might be written in these blogs of his. I have proclaimed to him, especially very recently, that IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT HIM and now he has this article. That indicates strongly that he does listen.
Alex also knows that he has a problem business-wise as far as getting back to people. Obviously he cannot do it all himself, so those who do get many of the messages sent to him or read the comments in the blogs seem to almost work against him at times. You are correct, Alex does have a problem getting back to people and I know this because of having problems paying him for things, needing help, and not getting it without weeks’ worth of trouble. His problem is not having enough help or not having at least one person to specifically do nothing else except getting back to people…and be honest while doing it.
Now, Alex’s format has gotten better. Now you are given “ticket” or “key” numbers where things can be traced by. That is a defintate improvement, so Alex deserves a break on that. What he does not deserve as a break involving that is that he has let us hanging for years when it has come to getting back never letting it even be known that anything you had a concern with was even received. That is when it makes it seem as though he has scammed us all money-wise no matter how many things are given away for free. If that were the case, then why not say something? If that were the case, then he would be no better than the enemy by leading us on with a “carrot” of free things and then giving us the scr*ews afterwards and enjoying our begging to be responded to. It has been, in fact, that way, EXCEPT, he has taken those problems and has worked to improve on them. I just wish he would be more open about it along the way which would tend to stop these negative comments we get about him along the way also, which brings me to my final part.
Almost everything Alex has done as a website I have done myself. I have dealt with people all of my life, so I know pretty much if Alex is fibbing or having certain problems or not. As far as his Money Bomb is concerned, if he is out to get our money, then he is quite stupid. By that I mean, he should have gotten about 10 times what he did. He did not most likely because of his delivery attitude. Therefore he messed himself up.
Alex received almost nothing and I will wager that that was because of his not listening to us or to himself. He is wrong on one thing. It is not just the message, but when you want someone to accept your message, you have to learn what kind of an “audience” that party is and then make your delivery accordingly. Alex does not do that. Therefore he is wrong when he says it is not all about him and it is all in the message. This is one thing I have a problem getting across to Alex Jones, yet there have been times I had to give him credit for being a person who could have been a model interviewer or deliverer. Why do you think so many people like Barack Obama or Bill Clinton? They have/had nothing to say, but they made their delivery based on their audience. Heck, how many times did Hillary change her way when she was campaigning before a different audience? She sure became “black” or “southern” really fast all of sudden. If Alex would only learn to do that, then things in this country and around the world would change mighty fast in our favor. I can assure you of that being a professional in making deliveries myself. (That means that everyone here must accept what I just said–hehe). Tnx for reading this long Alex “tribute”.

Alex is right though. Why are people even discussing this topic? He said so himself. He might not be the best messenger. If you don’t like his message or delivery, then find another person to listen to. There’s plenty in the truth movement to choose from. I don’t understand the point of getting up on a soap box and bashing the man or trying to dissuade others from listening to him. I love how so many people love to use the term “gatekeeper.” I would like to think most of the people interested in this kind of information and who listen to those who present it, are intelligent enough to figure out on their own if anything they are learning is not correct. Just because someone is wrong, doesn’t always mean they are intentionally lying. I say if you don’t like something about Alexs’ operation or his delivery, etc., find someone else who covers the info you are looking to hear and who’s more suitable to you. One thing you can’t fault the man for though is, he always says, do your own research. Even if a man is blatantly lying to you on a massive scale, if you do your own research, then you should be able to find out.
July 19th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
Rhonda, the sky is not falling, it is being modified by chemtrails, RF and other electromagnetic waves from HAARP, etc. by various minions of various factions of the NWO movement. Alex is just passionate about what he does. Alex has done more to raise the level of consiousness of the NWO movement than anyone else I can think of. The man works nonstop for what he believes in and you are going to criticize him? Why don’t you offer your assistance to him since you have these great skills of advising people how to be more effective speakers. Maybe Alex should take a Dale Carnagie course? Quit nitpicking over imperfections in Alex and do something contructive before we are all are hanged; for surely if we do not hang together, we shall hang individually.
July 19th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
After seeing Alex johns on BBC or channel 4 documentaries about masonic buildings in the states I was struck by his willing to wake us up.He explained so well his findings on the elite who rules us. He woke me up.
Now I surf the internet trying to discover more.
Alex you are for me a shining example,a role model. He says and insist that we should trust no one, make some researches, double check it and then if it is not to late for you, if you are not to brainwashed it would be clear, so clear to you that we have been conned so many times by our leaders,political or religious.
if the internet is kept free, it will be a powerful tool for us, freedom lovers to group and grow.
Thank you Alex.
July 19th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
C. and Charles R. Curbo,
You gentlemen’s show of gallentry towards Alex Jones is commendable. I just wish ones like you would not always look at the worst part of a statement only but rather see how it fits into the entire context of what has been said.
First off, I said nothing against Alex’s messages. What I did say was that he needs to understand his “audience” so he could act more appropriately to get them to LISTEN TO HIM OR HIS MESSAGES. Just telling people to look it up for themselves is not enough. How you go about telling people, suggesting to people to follow us means a lot. Apparently you never had that one special teacher in school who amazed you, caught your undivided attention, a teacher who you could not wait to get into rather than skip out of his or her class? Their message of the course is the same as any other teacher, but when you are sincere in wanting someone to hear or learn that message, that one special person seems to get it across. Alex is out on a mission to GET US TO LISTEN TO HIS MESSAGES. He then should maybe take that Carnegie course and learn to present himself in a way that will get more of us to accept him. Going off to listen to someone else is not the answer. Of course maybe many have done that just because of his presentation no matter how important it is. Maybe you both need to learn what the field of entertainment contains and why people will pay big bucks to be entertained.
Secondly, I HAVE OFFERED MY SERVICES MANY TIMES BEFORE OVER THE YEARS. As you see, I am still on this side of the “isle”, yet many things I have mentioned to Alex have been taken and used in his websites. So I guess I have no more to say about that nor even the first part.
Why carry a 20 pound weight with you while climbing a hill to get to the supermarket when you do not have to? Why go ten miles out of your way to get to the same supermarket when you do not have to? Of course the purpose is to get to the supermarket as quickly and efficiently as you reasonably can. I am not saying that going to the supermarket would be a bad thing, just the way you take the trip. So stop being so defensive over something that was not said and appreciate what has been said, just as I did by giving Alex credit along the way in my earlier comment here. Thank you.
Rhonda
July 19th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
To all the people attacking Alex Jones you are all fucking idiots psy ops shills.
I never accept what someone tells me without doing my own research as you all should. I’m not going to listen to this stuff without verifying it and almost everything Alex is saying is based on solid proof.
What you shills don’t seem to understand is how obvious your psy op tactics are. Deflecting people from the message by attacking the messenger. How stupid are you New World Order(disorder) shills?
You stupid psy ops stooges must be real idiots to try to make people belive your shit when people can do their own research and see this stuff is real.
July 19th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Then let’s hear any one of the blatant misrepresentations coming out of Prinfoplanet this past year Dr. Who. If you had been researching on your own like you claim you would know what they are. I do.
Hey Alex, who’s the patron saint of Bohemian Grove and why do you think that little nugget isn’t important enough to include in one of your billion movies since then??
Hey Alex – overheard any “zionist plots” in any graveyards lately?
This guy is a gatekeeper – denial and dismissal doesn;t make it less true.
Hey Alex – how about you discuss how most of PNAC and the OSP are dual fucking Israelis. How about that….

July 19th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
Alex, those who do the most get criticized by those who do the least. Don’t let it get to you. Anyone who has ever put a lot of hard work into something will almost always be hit by some idiot who doesn’t have a clue about it. Sure there are things that you do that aren’t perfect but at least you are doing it. Which is about 95% better than any of your critics. Rock On Alex! My concern is that as more people wake up to the criminality that has hijacked our country, it will force the hand of the NWO idiots to do something really stupid.
July 19th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
Do you realize Alex Jones has a family, wife and child(ren)? Whatever happened to the first amendment?
You don’t lead by hitting people over the head – that’s assault, not leadership.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
‘Son of the Republic, what you have seen is thus interpreted. Three great perils will come upon the Republic. The most fearful for her is the third. But the whole world united shall not prevail against her. Let every child of the Republic learn to live for his God, his land and Union.’—George Washington’s vision……….
If it’s a fabrication, so be it. But, however, I think out founding fathers wouldn’t be too pleased with infighting amongst Americans, let alone attacking the Constitution AND Declaration of Independence.
Following are some selections from George Washington’s farewell speech.
On party politics:
They serve to Organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force–to put in the place of the delegated will of the Nation, the will of a party; often a small but artful and enterprizing minority of the Community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public Administration the Mirror of the ill concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the Organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common councils and modefied by mutual interests. However combinations or Associations of the above description may now & then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the Power of the People, & to usurp for themselves the reins of Government; destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.
I have already intimated to you the danger of Parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on Geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, & warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the Spirit of Party, generally.
This Spirit, unfortunately, is inseperable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human Mind. It exists under different shapes in all Governments, more or less stifled, controuled, or repressed; but in those of the popular form it is seen in its greatest rankness and is truly their worst enemy.
The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissention, which in different ages & countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders & miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security & repose in the absolute power of an Individual: and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.
Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight) the common & continual mischiefs of the spirit of Party are sufficient to make it the interest and the duty of a wise People to discourage and restrain it.
It serves always to distract the Public Councils and enfeeble the Public Administration. It agitates the Community with ill founded Jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot & insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence & corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country, are subjected to the policy and will of another.
There is an opinion that parties in free countries are useful checks upon the Administration of the Government and serve to keep alive the spirit of Liberty. This within certain limits is probably true–and in Governments of a Monarchical cast patriotism may look with endulgence, if not with favour, upon the spirit of party. But in those of the popular character, in Governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. From their natural tendency, it is certain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose. And there being constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be, by force of public opinion, to mitigate & assuage it. A fire not to be quenched; it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest instead of warming it should consume.”
Washington on the military industrial complex:
Hence likewise they will avoid the necessity of those overgrown Military establishments, which under any form of Government are inauspicious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to Republican Liberty: In this sense it is, that your union ought to be considered as a main prop of your liberty, and that the love of the one ought to endear to you the preservation of the other.
July 19th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
OK, now I get it. This whole thread is about a few minutes in the second segment.
WTF over?
This is not new, AJ has always been a rather small operation and just doesn’t or hasn’t allocated resources to answer the HUGE number of personal messages directed his way.
Looking back…yes, I have had some minor problems with his subscription service. Seemed pretty major at the time of course (:
along the lines of “Hey AJ, need a fix WHY AREN’T YOU HELPING MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!”
Welp, he , or rather his organization DID get around to me and my legitimate problem and I’ve benefited from my sub ever since. Forgot to pay my domain name fees this last spring, but I damn sure didn’t forget my sub fees to PrisonPlanet. AJ not only gives away pretty much all of his work, He practically demands that we do too! I feel like I’ve taken complete advantage of the guy. So I’ve bought commercial versions of TerrorStorm and EndGame. Whooppee Do! I’ve seen every single documentary he’s published. Many from one or more of the family of Jones Production websites and some well b4 I paid a cent for a subscription.
So for a few whiners who didn’t get the personal attention they and only they thought the deserved “Grow up ya big babies”
cuz it only distracts from the message and news the grown ups would like to discuss.
July 20th, 2008 at 6:26 am
Alex should return to a simple automated message thanking the sender for the email and adding something like – “but since we receive thousands of emails a day we may not be able to reply;” Of course this isn’t going to stop everyone from whining, but at least it tells the sender the email has been received.
As the years go on the Internet is will be flooded with more and more whiners, mainly spoilt brats who’re now in their teens, who do nothing but complain and argue over petty issues, such as not getting a reply, not following similar belief systems or actions by others that they believe are affiliated with Alex Jones.
Alex is a very noble man, if he had the time, strength and money he would probably be helping everyone he can, but one man simply can’t do all that. What he can do is give information out over the airwaves, which may give the listener ideas on how to prepare themselves for the future, as well as knowing what to research for on the Internet or their local Library.
We all need to understand that we need to think for ourselves and do our own research into things, Alex and other’s are merely information desks that help point us in the direction of our choosing. We need to understand that reversing this mess, that is the world as it currently is, could take generations, and there will be a time where there will be no Alex Jones, Ron Paul, Jesse Ventura and others, so we need to gather our knowledge forward it onto our children and make sure they pass it on to a point where we’re all wanting peace, love and freedom.
July 20th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Daniel,
Good comment about Alex and getting the message out. As far as you mentioning the whiners concerned over sending him things, I believe you are directing that towards me more than anyone else. Therefore I will repeat my basic statement about my “whining”.
When someone becomes a subscriber, particulary paying money to become that way within (purchasing) someone’s “product”, that place ought to have someone available to at least get back to them. Alex claims he does (or did, since he has been improving as I have said) and yet when I had a problem, I was shunned off and shunned off enough to when I did get a response, I was told that I was bothering them. Sorry luv, that is not good for a business reputation even though someone like me is/was only a small percentage of all the people writing in.
Therefore my biggest compalaint was to have someone specifically around to get back to the most important people and not let them hang. Nothing wrong with that way of thinking. Is there? I heard Alex say many times he could not afford to hire such help. I therefore volunteered my services, but volunteers are always looked down upon, although getting free labor is always desired. I was not accepted. So that is my complaint, not what Alex (and crew) have done on a mass dissemination basis.
Finally, no, the general “thank you” needed to be upgraded to what it is now. Anyone can have a “thank you” message after sending something in, but then be trashed. As it is now, someone must at least look at the letter and there is a “paper trail” showing that something was manually done. Other than Alex and crew, I might be the only person out here who understands all that it entails since I was on his side of the “desk” once in my career. If it is difficult for me to accept at times, it has to be difficult for everyone else.
Anyway, I am sure Alex is personally coming here to read this particular “article”, so he will see your compliment about him as well as most of the others and if that puts a smile
on his face making him feel better and helps him to forge forward, that is what it is all about. Continue on.
Rhonda
PS: I can see that in 20 years, Alex will be a fine radio host. Once he gets some realizations that it is not all about him (remaining on topic here, coincidentally) most likely by doing what he tells us to do, and that is to study the past, in his case, how the greatest radio hosts have acted, he will get backing like Dr. Paul did. As I like to add in a statement like this, even a woman has a better chance of winning a beauty contest by knowing and acting what the protocol demands and then just putting her own personal flair into it. Learning never stops. It only gets better letting you know how much you really do not know.
July 20th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
I dont think people really understand. I have almost 6000 subscribers on youtube. No where near what Alex has or has to respond to and it’s hard to keep up with. People say the same thing about me not getting back to them or not doing something they want. When I did do a little automated thing saying thanks people got pissed….The point I’m trying to make is that you cant always do a billion things at once and that should be understood. I dont ever expect Alex to return my emails or post everything I send in. Its not possible. I’ll just keep doing my thing and I know he will as well….so lighten up
July 20th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
Ken,
Nice of you to chime in on this part of the thread about getting back to people. You are correct in the fact that you cannot do a billion things at once, but you are incorrect when you say that people should understand. Unless they have had the experience themselves, no one can fathom much in just telling them how many other things there must be done in the course of the day and when they have a problem, all they know is that they want and maybe need to be taken care of. I have another comment to say within your sensible statement.
I have done such work as Alex’s, meaning in a business designation where people generally pay for services. I have also done it your way, meaning just a private thing where there really is no obligation other than just being courteous. In Alex’s case, he is a business and he has people who have paid for certain things. He is therefore obligated to get back to at least those people and rather quickly. He cannot afford to hire someone to do that? Then maybe he should seriously have taken someone’s offer to do it for him voluntarily. The rule of a good business says that if your higher up climbs up the ladder, so do those below that person rise up. In other words, if people were to be gotten back to who paid for a product, it could only enhance his business thereby eventually allowing it to make enough money as to where he could pay that person for such services.
Alex is no fool. Therefore I contend that this subject topic is right on cue. (Regrettably I still have not been able to see the videos to be sure what is being said to fully comment on, but…) He has a tendency to want to micro manage things and if someone can do something for him that he presently cannot, he has that big ego of his that stops him from allowing anyone to come close enough to him to get ahead. The proof is in the pudding. Alex Jones is Alex Jones and no one can replace him for obvious reasons. That should not, though, hinder him from being willing to make modifications to what he is doing. That is even his big complaint about this present dictatorship administration we have. They refuse to change the course. Rather they insist on staying the course. The proof is in that pudding also as to the outcome of such actions.
So your input on this was needed. I am glad, as I am sure Alex is himself, realizing he is coming here to see what is being said about him, that there are others who do understand and by what they say, appear not to be just blindly being loyal to him. Of course sometimes blind loyalty is needed, but not on this topic. Without Alex realizing the pros and cons as the general public see some of his actions, he cannot progress. In fact, he would be living in a somewhat fantasy world extended too far into the real physical world as many of the enemy are doing with their one world thoughts.
Fianlly I will repeat what I have said before. I do see that Alex has been making changes and they are as progressive as can be expected. He just cannot get it into his head how also important it is to have top quality customer service. Maybe someday he (his hired personel?) might even thank someone personally for offering certain suggestions since being around the block before, I can tell when he most likely has taken someone’s suggestion that probably was given to him 6 months or a year earlier and he probably held back on the changes or additions because of that ego of his.
Hope yours and everyone else’s weekend has been a pleasant one,

Excuse Me Rhonda-
For $6 per month you expect one-on-one personal customer service on Alex’s website? He encourages duplication of his films for educational purposes without royalties & you complain because you spend a paltry $6 a month & don’t get your problem handled promptly? Considering the amount of traffic on his website, have you thought of what the server costs must be to provide that size of bandwidth? It sounds more like it’s all about you! Also, you insult the man by suggesting he should emulate historical radio hosts to refine his style. Alex is himself, not a phony actor with a rehearsed script attempting to gain a market share. Yes he rants once in awhile when he loses it in an attempt to convey the danger & urgency of the times we’re in. Yes he interrupts guests once in awhile in order to interject a thought before it slips his mind. Yes he brags a little now & then. However he also admits his shortcomings. If you value “protocol” over passion, then sorry “LUV”, you must not understand the spirit of the American patriot. The man has an amazing memory, intellect and ability to piece together the control grid the elites are constructing behind the scenes. He’s stuck his neck out a mile to expose globalist pirates and is a modern-day American hero. How many people do you know who have the guts to bullhorn Bilderberg members or politicians who possess the kind of power to get him killed? He deserves respect & admiration for that if for nothing else.

Zed Tompkins,
The answer to your first question about the $6.00 a month is “yes”. The statements that you make after that about Alex is correct, so I have nothing more to add to them since I already have said it myself, that includes that no one can replace him.
The answer about him doing what he does and if I know of anyone else who is willing to do that bullhorning and such is a big “NO”, I do not.
The rest of what you say, I will repeat my answer though. In here, we are preaching to the choir. Do you know what that means? We are already part of the Alex Jones “company”. Alex himself says that there are many many many more people he needs to get his messages out to, to “wake up”. Therefore EVEN THOUGH HE HAS BEEN IMPROVING as I said, he needs to modify his approach to get to them quicker or with less backslapping on his part. It is quite well known and seen everytime Alex talks that he has a fantastic memory and I believe that is part of what scares the enemy. I can tell that when he talks to a guest that he wants to get his thoughts out before other thoughts take that thought over, BUT THERE IS PROTOCOL no matter how good a person is and in fact, if a person is that good, then that person should have an easier time in doing almost everything that I have suggested than most others in his position would.
You, and the many others here, are forgiven for your almost blind loyalty because as I said in an earlier comment, the general people cannot be expected to understand what Alex has to go through unless they have done it themselves. I put myself into the “know” category because I have done it. Therefore what you and the other backers of him are saying is that my word is just as good for the very reason you have just backed Alex up with. If he is so good because of his knowledge, then knowing that my experience is in the top part of that knowledge bracket also, at least as compared to almost everyone else around here, then my suggestions are being complimented for giving such qualified information over things that Alex can change. So I thank you.
I talk about Alex having a big ego. Well, to be in his position even doing it over a simple internet connection and never daring to leave your living room you have to have a big ego. To go around bullhorning at the ones who can snuff you out at the snap of a finger, you have to have a big ego. You have to have a big ego to be a model or to be in a beauty contest or to be up on the stage to give simple entertainment where the people come there specifically to see you and are not your enemy. Therefore I understand that. Still, YOU MUST KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE and sometimes studying history, the history of how others have done what you are doing successfully, pays off, especially if you can see and remember what those little nuances are and can figure them into your own “act”. Otherwise what you are suggesting is that it is never good to learn from others. Of course you are smart enough to realize that learning from others should never be denied.
The “problem” occurs when such a well “grown” person starts to think that all others are what they claim that the enemy thinks of us, when that big ego becomes overbearing or out of control. Generally the greatest of men throughout history are also humble towards others. They understand that they exist to teach others who are not as “smart” as they are. They are in control enough of their narcissism, which is what a big ego really is, not to snob those they are attempting to be brought up to appreciate what they have to offer in life. (In a sense, it is not all about them.) Usually Alex shows his lack of control (or you can call it patience) when he has his guests on. THEY ARE THE EXPERTS. That is when it is the “interviewer’s” turn to become humble to that person’s superior knowledge. That is also when it is time to be humbled to some degree knowing that there are maybe millions of people listening to what is going on…..the very same people whom you are trying to convince to not only listen to what is being said, but to enjoy listening as a student should of a teacher. He has something to say? He must learn to ask it, as he has done at times, rather than to bowl over the very experts he has on his show for the purpose of their expertise.
You, Mr. Tompkins, in your defense of Alex, are actually imparting harm upon him by not allowing him to learn how to be a better spokesman, something he desires to be. The skill needs to be learned through experience, but he needs to learn to ask questions rather than interrupting his expert guests and attempting to show everyone how much he knows. He also would be humiliated at times when his guests tell him that he is wrong, as you can hear him biting his tongue at those moments. Even if he knows the answers, it is called the protocol of communication, also remembering that others are listening in whom he desires to be more acceptable of him and everything that is going on at the time.
He needs to back off from his daily routine long enough to listen to others in the communication field and not only hear them, but listen to how they do it, just like he does when he studies world history. There are so many good interviewers around or have been around. Off hand, I would recommend the predecessor of his biggest radio advocate, George Noory, of Coast-to-Coast. That person is Art Bell. Art worldwide for decades has been the number one person desired to be heard. Of course Art’s field is slightly different and that is where it comes into play that Alex needs to pull out of Art’s skill what he can that would enhance his own, but it is there and Alex needs to accept learning from others.
This is becoming long as my other comments have been. For your information, I realize that Alex is coming back to this particular area to read what we have to say about him, so every time someone like you says something and I or someone else comes back with something, what is being said is going to sink into him in a way that just writing him or talking to him on the telephone will not accomplish. It is good that this is going on. That is what debates, real professional debates, are all about with the hope that everyone will learn something from them and be able to leave the room shaking hands.
Remain the patriot that you are “LUV” (hehe),
Rhonda
PS: This is also good for me since saying what I am saying to people who do not know me is a challenge since saying the same thing to people who do know me almost always is accepted. I do not want to be as I called Alex in not willing to learn or letting my own ego get the better of me because of who I am. Not being known here gives me a communication challenge I have not had in quite awhile. I thank you and the others for corresponding with me in that case and giving me the opportunity to remember who (or what kind of) my audience is.

PS: To Zed,
I just want to clarify one thing about the $6.00 a month thing about responding to people. It is not just the fact that something is paid for. It is the claim that is made by the company. It says that if you have any problems or questions contact them in relationship to it. Therefore it has to be realized that a place that says that, means it is going to give the service.
Although I do think strongly that when you have a business you must do what you can to work with those who are supporting you, when you specifically make it a point to tell people to contact you knowing that problems might happen, your obligation to get back to them in a proper fashion is all the more mandatory. Alex’s business has become overwhelming? Then he is all the more obligated to maybe accept free help. Just using the excuse that he needs to pay someone to be on his staff to get the job done not only is not good enough, but needs to be done as the evidence has shown it needs to be done. All the other free things that you mention is not the issue of that part of the “problem”, although it should be taken into consideration, as you say.
Rhonda
