Yes there is no doubt Jones is a bit eccentric. However; the lamestream media tends to blow things out of proportion and sensationalizes as well. I wouldn't call anything that they report to be factual either. Let's be honest here.


The beauty of the internet is that there is a wealth of information out there (perhaps that is why the government wants to put the clamps on it). Some of it true....some not so much. The truth tends to be somewhere in the middle.

I'm of the mindset of ruling nothing out, and that in this crazy world nothing suprises me. If that makes me mentally ill, then so be it.

Another trumped-up "we hate America" type of story without substantiation for the allegations.
And yet we do have the NSA and CIA and IRS spying on us, harassing us and prying into our personal lives to gather information on not just us, but the top leaders in foreign countries and the news media too. You can stick your head in the sand an pretend this is not happening, but that does not change the facts or hide the truth.

REAL news stories? YOU mean like from corporate controlled NBC, ABC, CBS .... seriously...

BTW, i'm not listening to AJ, i was listening to this ex Secret Service agent. Try to stay focused. I know it's tough, when you've been mentally downgraded by the endless royal family coverage, and miley's twerking.

Infowars is a conspiracy site and shouldn't be taken too seriously.

Moreover, from the link:

Quote:
The Jamie Dimon shakedown at Chase… the HHS scandal.. Kathleen Sebelius shaking down the health care industry for money… the IRS… it’s to the point where these scandals in and of themselves would be huge back-breaking scandals [but] are just lost in the scandal fog of this administration…
Chase committed crimes and cheated. We shouldn't have the government protect us against bank misdeeds? How did Kathleen Sebelius shaking down the health care industry, exactly? The IRS? That wasn't a scandal by any normal reading of the word.

Oh, and about that former agent:

Quote:
Daniel "Dan" Bongino is a former United States Secret Service agent and was the Republican Party candidate in Maryland's 2012 election for the United States Senate.[1] He lost to incumbent Ben Cardin.[2] Bongino is running for the U.S. House of Representatives seat from Maryland's 6th Congressional District in the 2014 election. The seat represents an area of Western Maryland and is currently held by incumbent Democrat John Delaney. In October 2013 Bongino was endorsed by an Allen West affiliated group.[3][4]

Some people do show a level of blind devotion to our president, that borders on an unhealthy obsession. It's as if they must defend him to the bitter end in all things at all times, because admitting any fault with Obama, or his policies, is to reflect badly on themselves, and admit failure within themselves as well.

They new about NSA spying before any other news outlet.
They broke the story of Builderbergs, the Grove, and dozens of other secret elite societies that direct our gov't to take our freedoms.
How he is still alive, is beyond a miracle.

The IRS held up non profits based on Party affiliation, in order to sway a Presidential election.
Sebelius will end up fired or in jail, once the record is able to be read.

Chase can burn in hell, they done more damage to the people of the US than any other financial institution, sans Goldman.

No, they didn't. They investigated political sounding groups who applied for not-for-profit tax-exempt status -- as they should. While the investigations were underway, the groups were allowed to act as tax-exempt groups.

I think those who think that our government is squeaky clean and can do no wrong, are the ones who need their heads examined. Power can and does at times corrupt.

The internet is a wealth of information. On there I can find people who claim the world is flat and guarded by Nazi super soldiers, eyeglasses cause disease, tonados filled with wasps were caused by the government, and shape shifting lizard people control the world. Some of those Alex has championed on his website. Alex is simply wrong and crazy.

You can simply look at his claims that we are all going to be taken to FEMA camps by the black helicopters about every 2 weeks since 1994. Frankly he has been wrong, and outright crazy so many times, if he told me it was raining in Seattle (and likely a global government conspiracy as well, that I would ignore) I would check 3 news sources.

So you have no facts or evidence substansiating the claim, but the only reason you think you are right is because everyone who doesn't believe you are brainwashed by Miley twerking?

I should claim that eating dog crap can prevent cancer. If you don't believe me you have been brainwashed by the corporate media and Miley twerking. Same explanation for both being right, so if you believe the first then you should go to the dog parck and start shoveling those cancer preventers.

But of course your intellect is superior.
He was not involved in the day to day protection of Obama. Rather he distinguished himself as the lead coordinator for several of Obama's foreign trips and was recognized for his work.

This particular agent has not worked for a president since 2010 when he joined the Md. field office, closer to home.

He ran for a senate seat last year and lost.

He's running for a house seat in 2014.

He sounds like another apocalyptic conservative.

Best of luck to him.
