Alex Jones: "Little man syndrome."

[leftysergeant]

Thanks to RKOwens4, we may have a measure of how tall AJ is. I think we know the guy confronting him in this clip.

I didn't know he was that short.

Maybe he put on all that blubber and developed his finger-nails-on-the-chalk-board growl to make himself seem more intimidating than he would otherwise be. Maybe he has a grudge against the world because he got picked on by the big guys in high school. Or maybe he was already an obnoxious wussy boy and the reaction of others made it worse.

Haha, very nice video. I particullary liked the high fives. Wow, that sure showed those skeptics... ;)

Maybe.

[WildCat]

Actually, Gravy is very tall, 6'4" or 6'5" IIRC.

[VespaGuy]

According to IMDB, Jones is 5'10" (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1093953/bio).

Then again, it also says he's 33 years old, which I find unbelievable. I always assumed he was in his mid-forties. I'm not sure whether I'm more scared or amused to discover that he's actually 3 years younger than me.

The Napoleon complex...except Old Boney was a lot smarter then Jones.

[Gravy]

Actually, Gravy is very tall, 6'4" or 6'5" IIRC.That was when I had hair. I'm 6-3 now.

[Liszt]

More telling is the "gruff voice" Alex puts on when he knows the microphones are on him. His voice is quite normal most of the time. He is Gruff Man.

[T.A.M.]

Billy Goat Gruff!!

TAM:)

[Caper]

What a loser Alex Jones is. Has good radio voice though.... But man, the high-5's were pathetic.

[CHF]

I'd love to see Alex Jones sit down for a real debate and have to actually answer questions regarding his own claims on the FDNY and WTC7.

So far his reply has been "Hey, let's talk about something else now!"

[A W Smith]

Jones suffers from Little Brain syndrome

[Brainache]

A question for any Psychologists/Psychiatrists out there: Does it look like our Mr Jones could be suffering from Amphetamine Psychosis?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphetamine_psychosis

Although I suppose it could just be your run-of-the-mill garden variety psychosis.

But it has to be something like that, right? He has found a way to make money out of it so I assume he won't be looking for a cure, but I'd be interested to know if I'm on the right track here...

I always thought this first guy in this video was Gravy.

Tweakers don't usually get fat.

I notice that, althouigh he appears older and more wasted than his age would lead you to expect, he has a full head of hair.

Hair loss is usuually associated with high testosterone levels.

Something else might be substandard about his physiology. That would give him something to compensate for.

Too short. He talks like a fire fighter or a cop. Maybe an engineer. On an adrenaline rush.

Brass Check is kind of wack, sometimes. Sorry analysis as to why the experts figured it oput so fast. I, as a fire fighter, seeing it on live TV figured out immediately what had happened.

One of the first things I learned in fire fighting school about contstruction and its signifcance to fire fighting is that steel warps and fails in fires.

Looks like him, doesnt it?Because he's wearing a baseball cap? He neither looks nor sounds like me, and he's about 6 inches shorter. You shouldn't get your information from crackpots like Rick Siegel.

[Jonnyclueless]

Gravy and AJ are actually the same person. He just puts on a pair of glasses to fool everyone (along the lines of the movie Mystery Men).

[OldTigerCub]

I particularly like the choice of music. Unlike Benny Hill, however, Jones isn't trying to sound funny, even though he always seems to come across as a clown.:rolleyes:

It's kind of an obscure band, but I always thought the song When That Helicopter Comes by The Handsome Family would be a great soundtrack for Alex Jones' paranoia.

[eromitlab]

In the chapter about AJ's arguing techniques, it doesn't include accusing the person you're arguing with of being a government agent. But spot-on on his pathetic attempt to compare himself with Galileo. If you listen closely, you can hear Galileo spinning tornados in his grave at that comparison.

I do not agree with Alex Jones but that video basically did exactly what it was accusing Alex Jones of doing.

[abenja1]

You know what they say about little men








They have small heads. :eek:

[8den]

C'mon guys Jones is a fecking rule8 but do we need to resort to this?

He's a liar, he's obnoxious prat whoring his radio show books and films on the deaths of others, he's abusive, he's hateful, he preys on fears and predjudice and ignorance, he talks himself up, hangs on the coattails of orders, he claims the US government wants to kill 80% of the population, and when he's arrested and released within hours, he jokes about going for pizza with the assemblied "truth squad"

There's so much stuff about Alex that exposes him as a vile hateful man, do we need to call him a vile hateful dwarf? I think we're belittling ourselv.....





I'll get my coat. :o

[leftysergeant]

One of the reasons I dredged that up was that I am trying to understand what makes a cultist follow or start a cult.

In some cases, it is obviously a personality disorder.

In AJ's case, it may have something to do with feelings of inadequacy. The bull horn, the gruff voice, the rants, the grandiose posturing and holding the keys to secrets that would make your blood run cold all make him SOMEBODY.

Anybody else seeing it this way?

[beachnut]

No the video exposes Alex Being stupid, and being stupid. Or just dumb and stupid.

Do you think roids made Alex Jones make up junk? What do roids do to people? Mentally? Should I stop taking them?

I always thought this first guy in this video was Gravy.

Looks like him, doesnt it?Not Gravy. That is a super dumb movie! Doltish 9/11 standard junk.

I'm waiting for the day when AJ forms his own little prisonplanet of a compound, probably on the former Branch Davidian site to stop those evil elite bastards that want to kill us from building the NAFTA supercorridor right on top of it. If he keeps up the doomsday/endgame rhetoric and keeps playing the mind control tricks on his adherents, he'll decide that a compound is the next step to getting more of a payoff from his flock.

Yes, the church wanted to keep the earth the center of the universe...

Since that book says it is.

Wouldn't do for science to show it wasn't - can't many alms in the coffers if it was that way you know...

[timhau]

According to IMDB, Jones is 5'10" (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1093953/bio).

Then again, it also says he's 33 years old, which I find unbelievable. I always assumed he was in his mid-forties. I'm not sure whether I'm more scared or amused to discover that he's actually 3 years younger than me.

Looking at the video linked to in OP, he looks shorter. He's got those short guy proportions -- compare arm length and head size. And, if that guy in a white shirt and a blue cap is Gravy, and Gravy is about my size, there's no way Jones is 5'10". He only comes up to Gravy's shoulders (physically; mentally Jones can't reach his ankles).

[ref]

I was surprised, when I found out what this article said (http://www.radaronline.com/from-the-magazine/2008/01/we_are_change_911_conspiracy_theories_alex_jones_l uke_rudkow.php).

The epicenter of the Truther movement is an unmarked, bunker-like storefront with buttermilk-colored vinyl siding and a no trespassing sign, in a residential section of Austin, Texas. It is the broadcast studio for the Alex Jones Show.

"Yeah, in the Truth movement I'm pretty much as big as it gets," says Jones, a compact former bodybuilder.

:p

[leftysergeant]

I have known a few body builders who did roids. Made them sociopathic and impotent. And they tend to get fat when they stop working out. Chemicly castrated.

Might explain why he has a grudge against normal people.

Wouldn't you have attitude problems if you no longer functioned at the junction at his age?

Steroids would explain a lot :cool: We'll never know.

Steroids explain nothing that insanity doesn't.

In keeping with the hilarious theme of this thread, that is, how relatively short Alex Jones is, here's another knee-slapper for you all to enjoy!

Alex Jones: "Little man syndrome."

So what you are saying is that he uses the megaphone to compensate for something...

*crickets*

[leftysergeant]

It gets worse. Seems the little lardball thinks that disorderly conduct laws do not apply to him. He must have one looooong misdemeanor rap sheet by now.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptsbCwcbrfc

He thinks himself exempt from a law that prevents drunbk drivers from obtaining fake ID and getting a valid driver's license out of the state in which they are convicted.

And he thinks that he can set the aggenda for any public gathering at which an elected official speaks. And then his followers think he is being abused by the cops. Brilliant.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoyn_doplUM

He sees himself as a revolutionary of some sort. I think he really means it.

If he is not recruiting useful idiots for some kind of revolution, he sure is taking a lot of chances for nothing.

What makes you draw that conclusion? It's pretty obvious from that video that he was expecting to be arrested, and in fact planned on it, in order to attract attention to the issue.



He thinks himself exempt from a law that prevents drunbk drivers from obtaining fake ID and getting a valid driver's license out of the state in which they are convicted.



Ah yes. The premise that we need to submit to biometric forms of identification in order to prevent drunk driving or <insert horrible crime here> is a valid rationalization. Or not. If you're that worried about drunk drivers, then why don't you simply support more punitive sentences for convicted drunk drivers instead?

I suggest reading the book Database Nation so that you might be made aware of the caveats of government mandated biometric identification systems. They may seem harmless enough now, but in the hands of a tyrannical government, they would represent a disaster. Of course, you're probably not worried about such things, because that would be evidence of <gasp> paranoia. We all know that tyrannical governments are a thing of the past, and if not, well, sane people know that it could never happen in the US.



And he thinks that he can set the aggenda for any public gathering at which an elected official speaks. And then his followers think he is being abused by the cops. Brilliant.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoyn_doplUM



From the tone of your message it sounds like you have a bigger problem with Alex Jones than you do the recipient of his message, George W. Bush. Where did you gather that his followers thought he was "abused" by the cops? From the video it looks like the cameraman suffered more abuse.

Since the Federal Reserve was responsible for the speculation in the roaring twenties and the subsequent great depression, and since it is directly responsible for the real estate bubble and the sub-prime mortgage crisis that is looming now, should we not abolish it? And since most of the viable candidates we have to select from in both parties are members of the Council on Foreign Relations, an organization that is sworn to destroy US Sovereignty, should we not abolish that too?



He sees himself as a revolutionary of some sort. I think he really means it.

If he is not recruiting useful idiots for some kind of revolution, he sure is taking a lot of chances for nothing.

I think any reasonable person would conclude that he's sincere. And how much more of the lies, deceit, and the status quo are you willing to put up with before you've had enough? I think you hate Alex Jones more than George Bush because he illustrates exactly how apathetic and cowardly you are, and you don't like that.

[uk_dave]

Ah yes. The premise that we need to submit to biometric forms of identification in order to prevent drunk driving or <insert horrible crime here> is a valid rationalization. Or not.

Or prevent identity theft which would leave you vulnerable to having someone commit crimes using your name, or obtain services using your name or even access your finances and steal from you.

Don't you want your identity to be safe?

And, following on from that, does alex jones protest against the legal requirement for cars to have licence plates (tags) and if not, why not?

Similarly, do you protest this legal requirement for your vehicle to be identifiable at all times and if not, why not?

[leftysergeant]

Actually, I would be totally cool with implanting drunk drivers with an RFID that cannot be removed or altered without killing them so that they may be tracked 24/7. Better they suffer an inconvenience and some loss of dignity than that there should be children deprived of parents and maybe left horribly mutilated because some egotisitcal little twit thought he was capable of driving while sloshed. I can't give them what they deserve because our constituion would interfere with beating them about the head and shoulders with wine bottles every day over a couple months.

And I do not want an abusive father to be able to go out of state, obtain false identity papers, start a new life terrorizing another woman and any child she may be unfortunate enough to get by her while his ex and his first progeny starve.

I'm not even sure i want a ranting sociopath like AJ to drive a car in the first place. Too irresponsible. He might go kamikaze on someone.

[Mace Mallone]

I noticed something quite unusual about the video of Alex Jones getting arrested for not giving his thumb print. He was handing the papers over to the DMV worker, while his thumb touched the paper while not wearing any gloves. Alex Jones technically gave his thumb print to the people that he was complaining about giving his thumb print to.

[leftysergeant]

Did anyone here say the lardball was bright?

Notice, too, that he is totally unconcerned that there were other people standing in line waiting for service, and he probably took up the time that it would have taken to serve at least six other peoiple.

But he's special. He's Alex Jones. He's the big shot who is turning talk radio around.

I hope he has enough misdemeanors on his rap sheet that even Texas won't allow him to have a weapon.

[Tippit]

So, any comments about the David Gergen video? Alex Jones sure is relatively short!

[leftysergeant]

He also has no clue that he, rather than Gergen is being an obnoxious boor. Gergen was far too much a gentleman.

(And I don't even like Gergen.)
