Does this clip prove Alex Jones is insane?

This is just something I'm curious about. I'm curious what other people think about it.

Does this audio clip prove Alex Jones is crazy?


If not, what does it prove?

No, but it does prove that the people who listen to Alex and believe him are completely bonkers.

If anything, the idea or notion of an NWO has been a cash cow for all of the AJ's in radioland. As for the "pot-bellied dwarf', one particular person comes to mind immediately...

That was one of the craziest rants I ever heard. I know a lot of Truthers put AJ down now, but the ones that still hang onto him ought to hear this audio and also view the video of him in the hotel room when the fire alarm went off and understand what kind of nutbag they've been getting information from all of these years.

Lol. This almost beats alex jones in the "New World Order" documentary on IFC. Anyone else see that documentary? There's one part where Alex Jones, Jim Marrs and others are playing around with a Mannlicher Carcano in Dealey Plaza. Alex Jones manages to fire 5 rounds in 5.5 seconds, and out of disbelief or poor counting skills asks Jim Marrs how many rounds he fired. Jim Marrs pauses for a second and then says he shot 3 shots. Funniest part of the documentary.

Yeah, it proves that Jones is bat crap crazy insane.
But then that has been proven a long time ago. It is just more evidence on top of more evidence.

His rant kind of reminds me of hell and brimestone preachers, ranting about what is not there.

If anyone here had the time, there would be tons of clips that are just as insane.

As I was reading a bit here, I remember my first true encounter with CT loons.

At the age of 20 i believe, I was 100% republican. Having the clintons in the whitehouse drove me nuts. Back then, Rush openly pushed that the Clintons were murderers, had a school where the teachers preached satanism, and much more. There was never any doubt in Rush's mind that they had foster killed.

How did he managed to become the money maker he is, spouting close to the same crap, and AJ is still pushing dvds? I mean, hell, Rush is close to the symbol of republicans at this point in time.

I guess the first question I would have about that comment that Oswald had no shot because the tree is in the way - is that tree the same size it was in 1963?

Surely we should be looking for a clip that proves he is sane - something like one that explains he has been committed to extreme performance art all his life?

You can't prove a negative.

Thats a good point. They also claim he had only 6 seconds to shoot, while other JFK researchers have come up with time frames closer to 8 seconds. Oswald could have been trying to line up his rifle for the first shot for a couple of minutes for all we know. The first shot missed, the last two Oswald could of taken some extra time (the remaining 4-7 seconds) to successfully hit his targets.

Yeah, the "tree in the way" thing is probably the stupidest JFK claim I've ever heard. What's next, tree growth is a NWO plot?

Just a little side note. Re: AJ telling his friends not to leave the hotel.

In most places, if you willfully refuse to leave a hotel, and someone in your party gets hurt, or you impeade a firefighter from working, you can be sued or arrested, respectively.

I am a fire warden. We have no power to physically force a person to leave a building. However if fire fighters decide that you need to be moved for your own safety then you will be moved. That would not be pleasant.

I've seen that movie! More than Jason Bermas, Luke Rudkowsky and Dylan Avery put together I REALLY feel sorry for that Seth Jackson character. He's a one-man crusade (which I say all the power to him), but he's leading the wrong crusade! Poor fella!

It proves that he's a less-than-adequate actor! Lest ye guys forget, Alex was closely involved with Aaron Russo for several years before he died. I'm sure Alex got some coaching from him somewhere on down the line.

This is your Captain speaking. In the event of a water landing Mr. Jones' head may be used as a flotation device. Aldo The Buffet Slayer may be used as a life raft.

I was a CTer until I realized that a Mannlicher-Carcano did not require its iron sights be removed before a scope was installed. I've shot with a scope and know that, especially with a bolt-action rifle, there is a LOOOONG delay between firing, racking in another round, and reacquiring the target. Recognizing that Oswald completely missed with his first shot, realized that, and used the iron sights for the subsequent, easy shots left me with only the Magic Bullet to explain. Well, that and the earliest indications that JFK might've been hit. Hey, baby steps, okay?

ETA: Gimme a break. I'm down to only two shooters. That's pretty good for a CTer.

Obsessed? Since many CTers are pointing back at him,it is hard to avoid him.(Or info traces back to him)
So why not to make fun from him as he is talking so much.
