Use your own judgment.
I actually 100% agree with this post.

Now go over to alexjones and come back and tell me what products they are trying to sell you. Remember, people claim THAT site is the one true source of information and not info for the sheeple....they have no agenda, their information is true whether it's about the nuclear bomb test under washington recently (buy our radiation kits NOW!) or the nuclear meltdown in nebraska (buy our MRE's now!) or the imment meltdown of society (buy gold and silver from us NOW!).

Remember, "consdier the source, and what motive they may have...."

Honestly, come back and tell us what they are being PAID to sell the people that come to their site. This should be pretty interesting.

That's a valid point but it leads nowhere... all the products advertised coincide with the issues he reports on his show... That doesn't mean it isn't true... You'll need a lot more to try to discredit Alex Jones...

Sounds like you pay more attention to the ads than I do. He's gotta bring in money somehow - doesn't everybody sell advertising space? If they are selective about it, that's a plus. I noticed Whoopie running an ad on Fox for her charity, even tho she loathes Fox. The only thing that disturbs me about ads, is if they treat us like we're stupid, and if they use children to sell their service. Alex Jones is more interesting and probably more credible than the main stream garbage. View it all with a healthy dose of skepticism.

Individuals are the greedy ones.

That's not what we are being told in these threads though. And to be fair you've fallen right into lockstep with all the claims.

I just find it funny that people give him a pass for being unbiased and credible when many of his HIGHLY speculative articles (which i mentioned) seem to tie in nicely with the products being hawked on his website.

I'm not talking about his vague claims, I'm talking about some of the outlandish completely disproven claims like the nuclears blast, nuclear meltdown etc etc. which quite frankly are fearmongering for profit IMO.

Please, go over there and let me know what he is selling today.

Ah, so his repeated claims of nuclear disaster, explosions etc. which all turned up false and the fact that he shills disaster kits, radiation related products etc. have NOTHING to do with each other.

That dude is laughing all the way to the bank.

What nuclear disaster?... You mean Ft. Calhoun, Nebraska?... That report was about a fly-zone in the aftermath of Fukushima... Are you saying Fukushima didn't happen?...

I guess not having as much money as Alex Jones seems is a burning issue for you...
