Alex recently got "famous" for the folk meme song which i think is hilarious. So i decided to look this guy. Can anyone understand anything he says? He is either a brainiac with an understanding far beyond ours, or the biggest troll that has ever lived. I curious to hear what are your thought on him and the infowars stuff.

high intellect people are sometimes hard to understand by people with average intellect

Like many others, unless you are on the same wavelength as him, you won't understand. So don't try to paint him as some sort of a nutcase. To him and his followers, you look like a nutjob. The world doesn't revolve around how you think.

I never heard of him until 911. At that point, I decided he wasn't worth my time; therefore, I know nothing about him.

He's the blog equivalent of an '80s televangelist. He's there to sell his huge line of products.

Not my intention, just trying to get feedback from different people. English is not my first language, maybe that is keeping me from fully understanding what he is saying.

Him personally, I'm not sure.

He's clearly got a few screws loose, but I suspect much of it is just an act to dupe his unfathomably clueless and gullible audience into believing nonsense and buying his overpriced products.

No sane, informed person could listen to him and come away with the impression that he was spewing anything other than batsh!t crazy nonsense.

I first caught him late one night on Ch. 10 public access TV here in Austin, about 20 years ago. Was entertaining. I'd be flicking channels and catch him. About 4 times I watched. Then while Bush was still in office, about 2006 and the Ron Paul Revolution, he was at a Ron Paul ralley. I think it was the first TEA Party gathering, when Ron Paul announced Taxed Enough Already.

I'd catch his show and some of it I thought, that is just plain nutz... and a year later, there it is all out in the open on MSM. As the 2008 election neared, I watched more and more. Now, I catch him daily, for the last 2 years.

Jones is a proven snake oil salesman than takes news stories and spins them in order to create fear and sell merchandise for his sponsors. (Gold, freeze dried food, geiger counters etc.)

One year when trying to sell lots of survival stuff for his sponsors he purported a nuclear melt-down in Nebraska as well as claiming the DC earthquake was really a nuke test. (Even though it would have been spotted as such by a dozen countries).

Anyone denying this, address these stories in your response.
