It's full of cringe.
A long time ago this guy walking perpendicular to me on a Las Vegas sidewalk was like "HAVE YOU HEARD OF ALEX JONES!? FREEDOM UNDER FIRE." or whatever thing about the elites and how important Alex Jones is.
And I'm like, "lol, he's one of them".
I don't know if there's really a cabal of people secretly running the world, but in general creating your own opposition and dressing it as a clown seems like a good way to protect whatever shenanigans you have going on. So when someone tells me about the banking elite and here's this one guy exposing them, my first thought is they want him to be doing that.
People will reflexively want to disagree, when you present the message in such an absurd way, probably with some wrong info and dead-ends.
After I added a soundbite or two, the guy seemed intrigued and stopped and was like "....I never thought about that". (But then probably carried on with the info war.)
Alex doesn't seem like a Christian to me. He seems more like the devil. I feel an aura of 'devil' around him. And it's a devilish thing, to try to wrap the truth in an ugly package.
Amazon and Jeff Bezos
The issue is pretty simple. When you weed through everything and try to get to the heart of what Jones' concern is, it's basically an argument against crony capitalism. Against violent intervention and distortions in the marketplace.
He's correct that Bezos/Amazon are unfairly achieving windfall profits, due to government aggression/intervention that favors them.
But Peter Schiff or Stefan Molyneux would be able to explain the same things rationally with a calm demeanor and without a clown suit on.
You don't have to go on a witch hunt about Bezos, the problem is the system we have and the incentives in play. Bezos is the example of how it gets exploited, and the way to stop it is to change the underlying incentives, not to try to make people feel a vague and unspecific worry about Amazon.
(If you wack that mole another will come up.)
The onion goes so deep
I do also think about another layer to the whole thing:
World being so imperfect, there are lots of people who respond to anger and hate and aren't so much turned on by philosophical arguments or points of principle. So perhaps it's good (or fine, or there's at least some redeeming side) when Alex Jones inspires them to HATE things that are at least actually bad, rather than they end up hating on things that are good.
So maybe Jones is one step ahead and just has it all figured out? 😏
I guess what's important is to remember you can take tidbits from people without needing to see them as entirely good or bad. You don't need to wholly support or oppose people.
the left
I do like linking Bezos to the left and their policies.
Jones correctly (if maybe a bit wildly and oddly) points out some of the government interventions and why Bezos is able to achieve windfall profits and monopolistic behavior.
In a free market, there really isn't a way to have windfall profits (MAYBE you could briefly, if you invented some awesome new thing and it took people a little bit to figure out how to make it themselves). In general, if you're making a lot of profit, it just means someone else will be able to undercut you and you'd go kaput if you didn't lower your prices. So there's a natural equilibrium towards nobody being able to have wildly high profits.
When you use violence to distort markets, now it evolves where whoever has the most money will succeed at getting the rules that favor them, and that create barriers and make things difficult on new market entrants and smaller players, and a vicious cycle towards centralized and consolidated results.
So I like that Jones is correctly linking Bezos to the left and to distortions of free behavior. It's really about time they stop pretending they're egalitarian and for the people.
People like Bezos and Bill Gates etc love leftist intervention in markets, because it keeps the competition at bay.
p.s.
I kind of can't stand conflating "you can't film here" with "it's on now, Bezos!!!". The guards asking him to leave literally aren't sensitive at all to the content of his message or what Bezos is doing.
(The store maybe sees Jones as being generally negative towards them, but whatever concerns they have are in the realm of "what is he saying about our products?". If they knew what he was actually on about, that it's about Bezos sucking lizard blood or whatever, they probably would be less likely to care too much lol.)
So it's just a cheap way to try to pretend like "look! Bezos sending his goons after me!!! I struck a nerve!" when it's just standard to what you know the store's policy will be.
p.p.s.
But Jones is reasonable to ask about his car!!!
The security guard took a while to hear him out on that. (On whether he'd be okay walking into the parking lot to get his car. Reasonable question.)
I havn't seen Alex in a few months, but unless things have changes since I last have seen him. 90% truth leaves a big old 10% of miss info. It's amazing what you can hide within the 10%.
I'll be honestly I currently don't have time to watch the whole thing.
LOL Amazon foods? what a joke.
I think that Alex says as much of the truth as is profitable for him to say. I may be wrong, but I doubt it.
By the way he keeps saying that Benzos is the riches man in the world. I have one thing to say about that; LOLz miss information much bro?
I'll try to do a more throught comment when I get a bit of time
Boom! Yup. That pretty much sums it up imo.
Even conventional politicians depend on saying things that are true a lot of the time. They can't get to where they are by talking about the sky is orange and all these things that are clearly not the case. So it's always about how you twist it, where the damage happens.
Ya, that's definitely a flaw of this post. I think you pretty much could imagine what will happen in it, and watching it would only be if you're entertained by it.
Always interested, but nothing to be ashamed of in this comment here! A couple good tidbits even if rushed.
LOL, oh I think I switched up the way I was supposed to start that sentence. Now I can't edit it without looking like a tool. :)
There is a video I want to share, but I will need to find it. As for now I gotta go run on the hamster wheel, in this rat race of life for a few hours.
yaaa that's the worst when your typo gets quoted!! And worse when it's one of those ones that shows the inner workings of your mind like that, sorry to do that to you baha
It would have been embedded into the blockchain anyways, but nobody actually goes and checks, lol.
Cool! curious
This Video and many other things come to mind when I people talking about Jeff being the richest dude in the world.
It's always a bit strange to comprehend how much of the world wealth has been controlled and manipulated by so few. Yet It's easy to see it when we look down at the varying "reserve bank" notes that seem to line our wallets.
That Waterloo thing is so sick, the OG of fake news.
But ya, Alex is of course familiar with who the real richest are.. so it wouldn't be like "oh he just meant that casually and wasn't thinking in those terms"
So it's like he misdirects "I hate the richest ruling class" type of energy away from the source and onto Jeff.
It's definitely strange, how it's just this different world that they live in. I imagine it's like their capital allocation and what drives them is all about information and control at this point. That's how you can get fancy things like mis-direction tactics and perfectly groomed people at every turn. Like just next level wizard shit, probably pointing to exactly what the economic consequence of things is, etc (like AI simulation type of stuff probably). And I feel like over time it becomes more elaborate and costly (more difficult to perfectly predict us) and eventually we reach a tipping point where they can't afford to do it anymore.
And like even if they aren't trying to conquer the world really, it's just practical to them not to want things to change too much. They feel better built and more like kings in the world as it is now. The world wants to change, so control is needed just for the goal of keeping it closer to how it is now for longer.
I always assume that's the real story line.. they want to hold the paradigm that they're kings in, rather than they're trying to put us in prison cities etc
We forgive you, Rothschilds!! Those people in Waterloo shouldn't have been killing each other anyways.
My thought would be that after a certain amount of wealth is acquired. Let's say one billion dollars. The game changes, to acquisition of power.
There is very little that a billionaire can't do that a multi billionaire could do, apart from having more power or sway in the worlds events, or buying multi billion dollar companies. It's not like the profits of said companies will in any way improve the quality of life for someone who already has access to a billion in liquid assets.
I personally think that the long game is to have everything digital and linked to a chip, which at their discretion can be shut down. You don't need prison cities if you can shut people out from their own wealth. In essence it does away with the need for prisons, as the whole economic structure would practically be a prison.
I don't hold ill will towards those pulling the strings, in fact I pity them. Imagine the "Karma" that is in store for those who seek to trample down the world, in order to raise themselves up. I sure wouldn't want that hanging over my head.
I watched Alex a year ago until something changed my mind a bit about him. Sometimes I still do, but you never know what his actual motivations are. One thing I have to give him, he definitely makes sure he is being heard. I like that. Bezos is working for government and government with him. Why do you think he acquired Washington post? I bet Washington Post is actually loosing money and that’s why they needed Bezos to keep it afloat. It’s also their way to manipulate people, just like NY times, CNN..., that’s what they have been doing for decades.
True!
I like Peter Schiff. However, he is wrong about bitcoin. Just like you said “you can take and believe only partially in what the say”. Usually I listen to these guys and then try to use common sense.
Very true. You never know what's in someone's heart.
Ya you can appreciate his fire, that's for sure.
Yup!!! I think that's the way to do it. Listen, run it through your own filter, and extract what you can.
Ya, you don't go to Peter if you want to learn about currency in a digital age 😛
Very good post @full-measure, your story can be a very good motivation for all of us in living this life. I think Alex has a different way of life with us, so he does not look the same as other Christians. Maybe he was doing something new to create a new sensation in his life. Thanks for sharing...
That's a very nice way of looking at it. I like that.
Daily Learn some new from your post. Love to read it.
Very nice. What did you learn today? Could you please share?
Many conspiracy theorists says that, we are under control of elite system and mainly they control the banking system according to the conspiracy theorists, and we don't know what it is, but the current phase of days turning really weird means, distress, anger, hatred, natural disaster, weird stuff all around, News and Media is playing an perfect role to deviate the matter and engaging people towards the subject through which people get more confused. Let's hope that we can find the true peace like slow life like in old days. Thanks for sharing this post with us and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂
Some things were better about the old days, but I think mostly it's by default. Newer technology can help those with control to have more and better control, but then we flip it, we don't really go back to the old way it's more just totally new and different.
That's really practical and true.
indeed, ty sir
Welcome brother.
nice video with a great article
there was no article, fail.
