Inside Alex Jones' mind

In times past, insane people were locked up. Nowadays, they have radio shows and spill their delusions into millions of other minds. Kind of scary, that way.

In the past they could start a religion and lock up the sane because their invisible friends wanted them to.
The insane aren't as big a problem as the ostensibly sane who are willing to kowtow to insanity when it suits their interests.

According to the internet: She graduated from Cornell with honors in 1984 with a B.A. in history. She earned a law degree from the University of Michigan Law School in 1988.

While that's not proof that she's "super smart" it says something.

Yeah, that she's super dishonest.

Or... Her problem may not be intelligence per se, but she sure is ignorant.

True, though in times past they had a harder time reaching a large audience, especially when their delusions went contrary to the social statu quo.

Here's how to deal with Alex Jones:



Go to about 9.30 if you can't stomach the whole thing.

I couldn't stomach 9.30 onwards. Did anybody else wonder what happened when the cameras went off? I had this vision of the presenter turning round and politely suggesting he shut his great big festering cake hole and men in white coats standing by with needles:D

I suspect that may be true and I absolutely hate that she is using that intelligence to make money off fools and tools instead of for good. It is very hard for a smart person to fool me about being smart. I have had that discussion with the occasional student in my teaching days.

Where she appears to be may be real, but it also could be cover. Haven't met her personally so can't be sure. And, of course, no one knows everything.

As the 2016 campaign draws to a close, it's interesting to see the complete mental collapse of Alex Jones, who has surely got more paranoid and hysterical as time has gone on, which has culminated in him crying on the airwaves and putting out the idea that Obama and Hillary are literally demons.

Watching his bizarre behaviour over the years has led me to question: Is Jones actually severely mentally unwell and has been for some time?

No

He is a smart guy who has found a way of literally making millions legally without doing anything useful

If you knew him outside the context of a radio/rb show wouldn't you think he was?

Perhaps this guy needs sympathy more than anything else.

He probably making in one year what you make in ten years or more
I think you deserve more sympathy

And if he came to read this site he would maybe think..
Look at how many dummy people are writing about me, so that more people willwatch

And I will make even more

Oh, Coulter was on Bill Maher's show tonight. Did not do well one on one with Bill and way bending over for Trump for the moment.

Coulter has been bending over for Trump since he first announced his candidacy. She is not bending over for the moment, she has been frozen into that position for over a year.
 
When Alex Jones first popped up on my radar a long time ago, I had absolutely no doubt that he was a true believer. I thought him a tragically misguided but genuinely courageous man standing up to what he sincerely believed to be a dangerous and despotic power structure.
I'm no longer convinced of that. When I watch him now, even his rants seem calculated. It makes me wonder if he ever truly believed.
