Alex Jones going to network marketing.

I have been defending Alex Jones here a lot from ridiculous attacks, mostly the irrelevant issue of money, but when I saw this site I was truly horrified!

http://www.infowarsteam.com/

Alex Jones is starting to sell health products, he is teaming up with a pyramid scheme called Youngevity. Jones has been ranting how the banking system is a fraud, apparently he wants to try to make those big bucks too now...

The front page has a link to a "recorded stream" where they are buttering up Jones and trying to lure his listeners to join the pyramid.

A) Not surprising really, anything for a quick buck.

B) Will this cause you to re-assess your defending of AJ in any way?

c) Good grief, why would you defend him anyway?

Most of the "attacks" on Alex Jones have turned out to be true.

B) Maybe in this issue of money, he always sells his movies and stuff but they are also available for free. This is just to generate money.

C) I actually have listened to what he says quite a lot and most of the things here that people post are untrue. This makes me wonder about the experts on the other sections, are they as woefully wrong too? A great recent example was the thread falsely claiming that Alex Jones was promoting a theory about torsion fields from the pyramids causing demonstrations in Wisconsin, it was not true but no-one really cared to verify.

A. Jones preaches so much crazy that the few sane things he preaches are sort of irrevelent.
B. I guess that Alex saw how much money Kevin Trudeau was making out of scam medicine, and decided to get in on the act.

Perhaps he saw an opportunity to get in at the top of the pyramid instead of being one of the "donors" at the bottom?

A doubled barrelled scam: A pyramid scheme involving snake oil medicine. Nice going, Alex.

My very favorite part:

Quote:

Youngevity's® Osteo fx Plus was formulated to support healthy bones and joints, Osteo fx Plus meets the U.S. daily requirements for people over age 50 with 1,200 mg of calcium, and contains the co-factors necessary to help your body better absorb and retain calcium.

Citing USDA recommendations! Well played Mr. Jones. They're part of the evil empire that is fluoridating water for mind-control purposes, but we can trust them when it comes to calcium intake.

And speaking of what is true and untrue, Infoexcavator, what is your opinion of Mr. Jones's repeated claims that fluoridation is part of a government mind-control regiment.

Also, are FEMA death camps around the corner?

Do chemtrails contain dangerous drugs?

Bad form, Mr. Jones.

As usual, taking advantage of the naive and mentally ill.

10 demerits for you.

Joey McGee · 2nd March 2011, 09:42 PM

There are better/cheaper versions of all of these products at my local health food store. In fact, if you wanted to get radically healthier than you are now, my local grocery store carries far better material.

Too bad there's no natural cure for getting it wrong over and over and over...

Jim: What does a demerit mean?
Dwight: Let's put it this way: you do not want to receive three of those.
Jim: Lay it on me.
Dwight: Three demerits and you'll receive a citation.
Jim: Now that sounds serious.
Dwight: Oh, it is serious. Five citations and you're looking at a violation. Four of those and you'll receive a verbal warning. Keep it up, and you're looking at a written warning. Two of those, that'll land you in a world of hurt—in the form of a disciplinary review written up by me and placed on the desk of my immediate superior.
Jim: Which would be me.
Dwight: That is correct.
Jim: OK, I want a copy on my desk by the end of the day, or you will receive a full disagilation.
Dwight: What's a dis... what's that?
Jim: Oh, you don't wanna know.
