Khazars and Judaism
Hmm.. interesting. The Khazar schtick is diagnostic of someone who gets their worldview from neo-Nazi Web sites in much the same way that a jagged, bloody bone protruding from the flesh is diagnostic of a compound fracture.
One would think that a conspiracism maven like Jones would know that.
Is Wikipedia a Neo-nazi website? I am just asking because if you look up Khazars on that site it has a huge section on how the Khazars converted to Judaism and how that played out in the greater world. Here is one part.
In the 7th century, the Khazars founded an independent Khaganate in the Northern Caucasus along the Caspian Sea. Although the Khazars were initially Tengri shamanists, many converted to the Abrahamic faiths through interaction with the Byzantine Empire and successive Islamic caliphates; during the 8th or 9th century, the Khaganate adopted Judaism as the state religion. At their height, the Khazars and their tributaries controlled much of what is today southern Russia, western Kazakhstan, eastern Ukraine, Azerbaijan, large portions of the Northern Caucasus (Circassia, Dagestan, Chechnya), parts of Georgia and the Crimea.
Huh, maybe Alex Jones was correct in pointing out that the vast majority of Jews, both before and after the Holocaust, are of Khazarian descent. Or is Wikipedia just another of those whacked out conspiracy theorist web sites?
By the way, it is really tiring this idea that anyone who has condemnation of the business practice of Fractional Reserve Banking and Central Banks means you are antisemitic. First off, antisemitic has changed meaning to antijewish because if you are an antisemite you should be against arabs as much as you are against levant jews. They are both semitic peoples. Finally, antisemitic is NOT the same as antizionist. As a general principle, who can complain with the idea that a set of people want a home. Unfortunately the home they want was already populated with Muslims at the time. Oh well, displace them and set up an Apartheid state. If you do not think that Israel is not an Apartheid state in all but name, then you are a fool. Why didn't the Zionists try and call their state Abraham or something? Something, anything on which they could have common ground with the resident population already there. Antizionist does not equal Antisemitic, although the ADL will sure try and make you think so.
Secondly, Alex Jones has a Jewish wife, a multicultural staff and I have listened to his show to hear signs of whether he is racist or not. He is not. I am a white gay atheist guy and it makes me sick having to hear people slam Alex Jones on such things. If he hangs out with people like Texe Marrs maybe you should consider that, like all of us, he values some things others have to say and does not value other things they have to say. Is that too much of a stretch? For Texe, maybe the things he values is his insights into the NWO religion?
If you wanna blast him, you should do so on his Economic views. Blast him on his contention that Austrian Economics makes sense (I will agree with you). Blast him on his contention that the ADL and the Southern Poverty Law Center are using race baiting in cahoots with the "powers that be" to keep us divided in the US (I will disagree unless you have good evidence to the contrary). Blast him on his thinking that the US should be a "Christian" nation or his and the Patriot movements lack of respect for the seperation of Church and State. Blast him on not getting LGBT issues at all and I will agree with you. Blast him on his pro-life stance. Whatever you do, please have evidence and some good reasoning. That is something I see very much lacking on these forums.
I do not agree with Alex Jones on everything. I do not expect anyone to agree with me on everything either, but it seems to me half that the people who make little one-liner comments on how much of a whack-job he is on these forums have not even taken the time to see if anything he says makes any sense at all. If someone is wrong about X that does not mean they are wrong about everything. That is just good old fashioned logic. Try it out sometime.
