What do people on here think about him? Just curious. I find him intriguing and abrasive at the same time.

who?

funny, i saw the name Alex Jones and before I read this I thought of the word "kookjob"... kookjob, nutjob... same thing...

he taped himself to a traffic camera and also refused to submit to fingerprinting in his days as an Austin Access Cable TV host...

He also had a brief rant in Linklater's Waking Life...

he's good for entertainment...

quoting Alex Jones over and over again is about the farthest thing from quantifiable, educated research...

this guy is a nut...

he once tied himself to a light pole and was arrested for refusing to give a fingerprint at the DMV in Austin...

he was also featured in linklaters Waking Life

my statement about Alex Jones was all-inclusive of anything that he "wrote or directed"

so to answer your question, I havent seen it nor do I want to spend the next two hours watching it so I can answer your questions or share my thoughts.

I know enough about Jones from when he was a pimple faced public television icon in Austin, a glorified Waynes World broadcasting from a basement, where he would begin his career as a conspiracy theorist and "ex Paleo-conservative"

I respect Alex Jones and his work, I have seen him grow as a media celebrity, and I loved his rant in Waking Life. But I take little of his information as important to the debate of 9/11

and for the record, I do not subscribe to the "You're either with us or with the terrorists" ethos.

I do not support George Bush, his administration, or the war in Iraq.


common sense, people, common sense

His rants are entertaining (used perfectly in "Waking Life" for sure), but you'd have to be a real kook to buy into him.

I'm dropping him from my myspace friends list. I can't say I believe this crap he's sending me. Sounds like he has an agenda too. Imagine that - Truth seekers with Agendas. HA.

That's why I started this thread - seeing if anyone knew somehting about the "agenda". His stories seem "fabricated" to match the needs of the times. Convenient.

Maybe he's attention starved? I dunno. Not really into him.

Alex Jones was arrested for confronting George W in 1998. This guy is intense!
