I do listen to Alex Jones on a regular basis(every night) and feel that he does deliver a powerful message. I don't believe the mainstream media any longer and he does report the news in a different and interesting way. Sometimes I do believe he goes off the deep end but in the end he does report the news in an interesting and easy to follow way. I understand where some people are coming from when they say he is crazy, maybe I'm crazy too.

I agree with this except that I see no sign of insanity. I've throttled back my intake of their info and am back to scanning occasionally to see if they have something which is potentially interesting.

I don't think Alex Jones can be trusted. Then again I'm the kind of person who doesn't trust anyone anyway but his accusations are often completely uneducated and I don't trust his sources. He also has now said that a large part of the way he acts is for entertainment so I think my suspicions are rooted enough in fact to be logical.

It may seem odd, but I agree with this as well. I don't believe that Jones ever tried to pretend that a part of his 'act' was not for 'entertainment' value. That does not mean he doesn't have a message to get across and often enough it seems like a good message to me. To the degree that doing it in an entertaining manner is effective, that's not objectionably to me.

My beef with 2017 Jones and Infowars is that they are now fairly clearly acting as gatekeepers for Zionists at least. Whether they are under duress or being paid off or simply cannot maintain a viable media business at scale by doing otherwise is unknown to me.

That does not mean that they don't produce a lot of good information. They do. It DOES mean that their analysis of our complex political landscape is UNRELIABLE and one MUST augment a lot of their work product with external research (or just go on being an ignorant sheep in many areas.)

I do not really trust the Infowars bluster about being 'under attack' from Google and their ilk. Maybe they are, or maybe it is a ploy to get people to support them more. It's actually difficult to know without seeing their books and I would not take Jones's word for it.

As I said before, I had supported Infowars financial quite a lot in the later part of the election because I appreciated their on-the-street reporting. I have quite a collection of books that I wanted anyway from Infowars store, and quite a sample collection of their magic potions. Having some suspicions about them off and on over the years, I actually didn't plan on actually consuming them and they sit on my shelf unmolested to this day for later use and/or testing and probably will be for some time.

I'll not be buying anything more from Infowars until they get real about Trump and stop being such ass-lickers. Some of their reporters seem to be trying to. If they continue to get resistance from Jones (assuming that is happening) I hope they walk like Dykes and Melton did.
