What explains a lot is that we can't trust "our" "politicians" more than Jones. That's sad. And explains how contemptible "our" "politicians" are.

I have a fairly low opinion of politicians on both sides of the aisle, but I don't think I could possibly say I trust them less than someone selling "tactical" taint wipes for a huge profit.

You're comparing a politician that lies and has empty promises and in some cases miscalculations just to get votes is a completely different story to a conspiracy theorist hack-entertainer.

I see the correlation, it is a blind trust in a dolt that led us to Trump even if Jones never endorsed him. People just don't care about the truth and just want to support their claims. I'm guilty of this with the education debate in my state. Teachers and support staff are underpaid and schools don't have enough money to modernize. I dismiss anyone who says otherwise because I'm in the trenches. I see what really happens.

I also believe that people who believe everything he says/publishes are either insanely naive and gullible or insane themselves.

I feel the same way about zealots who are hardline liberals or conservatives. Weird.

He is hated by the global banter, because unlike Laura Ingram and all those on dinosaur media, where they can attack sponsors that pay for the words to be spoken, they cannot go after Alex Jones advertisers.

The only way they can punish Jones, is with false lawsuits, filled with libel and defamation.


They can harass him, but never harm him.
