Alex Jones- Debunked!

[Bill]

Certainly. From the longbow to CCTV, technology is very often at the forefront of major changes and new developments in world affairs. That's what they are, though. Changes and new developments. To say they're all part of the same overarching human condition evidenced throughout history isn't inaccurate, but the same could be said of any and every human act/interaction, ever. Pointing out that greed and the desire to dominate aren't new doesn't change the fact that the system being established now has never been established before, making it new by definition.

Doesn't your anecdote directly counter your position? That your friend hasn't suffered to any notable extent as a result of the Russian revolution is great for her, but your story suggests both her and her family no longer have a place in the Russian aristocracy in the long-term. Thus the revolution clearly had a long-term effect on those members of the aristocracy at least, didn't it? Not on their lifestyle perhaps, but certainly on their ability to influence Russia.

Their family may not have maintained position and influence in Russia but European Aristocracy was never confined inside national borders. Despite the efforts of the communist party the Russian aristocracy has managed to maintain its lineages and when leaving Russia found ready access to family money and positions of influence. I don't know how much influence the old aristocracy has in the post communist government but with ready access to money and international contacts I can see them doing quite well.

 

[Bill]

Inclined to agree. People see these revolutions, France to Ireland, Russia to China, as calamitous failures, don't they? However, though they failed to bring about lofty, utopian realities, they succeeded, to some significant degree, in destroying feudal systems (at great cost, admittedly), which was their point within a long historical process. Even Mr Jones has a role, and quite a significant one too, I'd contend, in this process as it continues.

To the peasant it doesn't matter if you call it a feudal system or a collective farm. Their position in society hasn't improved. How are these revolutions a success if all they do is change who is power without improving the lot of the very people the revolution was supposed to help. In each case a powerful elite emerged with all the trappings that come from money and power at the expense of the surviving citizenship.

 

[Grieves]

I agree and thus your previous comment- "The most evident and indisputable difference between past systems and the present system is the powerful influence of modern technology" is inaccurate as you admit that "modern" technology has always had a powerful influence in past "systems".

Forehead to brick-wall moment. You're referring to technologies of the past as modern because in the past they were modern, and suggesting that means modern isn't new...? I don't even... Ugh.
I'm just gonna re-quote my previous statement with emphasis and naively hope for the best.

From the longbow to CCTV, technology is very often at the forefront of major changes and new developments in world affairs. That's what they are, though. Changes and new developments. To say they're all part of the same overarching human condition evidenced throughout history isn't inaccurate, but the same could be said of any and every human act/interaction, ever.

What? The wealthy elite controlling the vast majority of the Worlds wealth is new?

No. The current, modern system through which this is being achieved to an unprecedented degree is absolutely new. It's asinine to suggest otherwise, unless you can prove Rockefeller and the East India Company engaged in algorithmic trading, just to start.

Sure, elites emerge, trappings, what-not. Peasant is an outmoded term for the most part in former communist or socialist European nations, which may demonstrate it's therefore slightly mischievous to assert such revolutions (or related structural changes) brought no positive difference for the populace within these territories. Ireland and Denmark have some of the best welfare systems in the world, Poland, Russia, in fact near all of the ex-socialist or communists states of the world (outside of Africa, unfortunately) have free education and free healthcare for all 'peasants'. You won't find a Pole, now working in the west, relying on anything other than the 'communist' health system back home, if he or she gets sick. It is better at home, that's why. Whereas in the United States...

www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=13497&page=1


As far as rural 'peasants' are concerned many rue the day communism collapsed. No more full employment, 'structural reforms' left, right and centre. That is to say, 'cuts and asset stripping'. I just mean it's not all about collectivisation in agriculture.

State controlled means of production brought about huge advances for these states, and eventually, benefits for near all citizens, obviously; still does, very much so, walk into any hospital in the world with no cash and a punctured lung (outside the U.S and Africa) to experience it. That's maturity, points in the process toward wisdom.

P.S The Communist Party may likely win power in Russia again soon. Food for thought. That'll get tongues wagging in the United States, no doubt. Would that be a first for the party - world wide - by democratic mandate rather than violent uprising? Perhaps. A whole new era, possibly.

I think people will not realise the full significance of these revolutions for a long time. It's currently very unfashionable to say so but I believe the democratic principles of communism will eventually win through across the entire planet. This is it's point - after all - and what the intelligentsia have generally been working toward, for centuries.

In this sense I'm entirely in agreement with many of Alex Jones followers in the states, but for completely the opposite reasons. I'll take the 'illuminist' global agenda with bells on, thanks, over backward capitalism.

 

[Alhazred The Sane]

Not sure where you're getting your information on Russia and Russians. I have a small group of Russian friends that I met on New Year's Eve two years ago: 5 men, 3 women. Not one of them romanticizes the fall of communism there, I've never heard any of them 'rue the day' it collapsed. Nor, for that matter, any of their friends. I've seen no indications that the communist party are anywhere near a return to power.

I should also point out that even in countries governed by the centre-right and the right, socialized medicine is the norm in Europe. Free education too.

Sure peasant is an out dated term, so is serf. What you call it is irrelevant. The issue is where you stand socially and in your ability to influence the government. The average person found themselves in the same place economically and socially post revolution they were pre-revolution. This assumes they were not part of the 100+ million that died as a consequence of the new government policies (five year plans, forced migration, the great leap forward).

The advances you are touting in education and health care occurred in both revolutionary and non-revolutionary states. They seem to be influenced by factors other than the form of government. If you are going to credit a governmental system with advances, you don't get to exclude countries where those advances did not take place (you can't just omit Africa because it's inconvenient).

P.S The Communist Party may likely win power in Russia again soon. Food for thought. That'll get tongues wagging in the United States, no doubt. Would that be a first for the party - world wide - by democratic mandate rather than violent uprising? Perhaps. A whole new era, possibly.

Election of the Communist party does not mean a return to government as it existed pre-1990 (unless the party plans on eliminating the other parties and reinstating the former socialist dictatorship). The party will still have to respond to the needs of the people and if it doesn't will find itself voted out of power.

It could also mean a lot of the population is to young to remember the joys of standing on line for hours to purchase basic needs.

25 of the Strangest Things Said by Alex Jones

I've provided broadcast dates when possible. Some of the undated statements are ones that Jones has repeated again and again.

1. According to government documents from the 1960s, the Anglo-Saxon Protestant work ethic, along with international WASP cooperation, was eradicated by "the Zion". Until that time, WASP countries were highly productive and largely free of corruption, while non-WASP countries were in decline because of corruption.
Most of this incoherent rant was prompted by a survey of U.S. schoolchildren, showing that cheating and stealing and lying is common among them. Jones didn't note that one third of the kids also admitted they lied on the survey itself...
2. Foreigners like Arnold Schwarzenegger should not be allowed to hold public office in the U.S. This includes Americans with Israeli citizenship.
3. Arabs own Hollywood.
4. Obama is secretly Muslim and will usher in "Black Identity/Nation of Islam" terrorism and persecution against whites. (November '08 interview of Ron Paul)
5. "Rebellion against tyranny. Rosa Parks stuff." - comment made to a boy who received in-school suspension for refusing to remove his "9/11 is an inside job" T-shirt. (Dec. 29/08 broadcast)
6. "We know the Freemasons at the highest levels worship Lucifer, they say that in their own writings."
7. All U.S. capitol buildings are Babylonian/Egyptian structures designed by occultists. (July 8/08 broadcast)
8. Foster children are being killed with radiation and chemicals.
9. "Barack Obama will probably be the president that has me arrested." (Nov. '08 interview of Ron Paul)
10. Aldous Huxley admitted the brainwashing techniques in Brave New World were drawn from actual elite plans for humanity, told to him by brother Julian. (Coast to Coast AM, Nov. 6/7, 2007)
11. Bertrand Russell suggested thinning the population by putting mercury into vaccines. (Coast to Coast AM, Nov. 6/7, 2007). Actually, Russell was warning of such things. He also predicted bacteriological warfare, infanticide, destructive wars, and general misery. In short, he was a little like Alex Jones. Only brilliant.
12. There are no safe vaccines. Vaccines are a "modern Holocaust". Vaccines cause autism. "That's a fact." (interview by Kevin Bates)
13. Each and every member of the U.S. military is injected with aggressive cancer viruses via vaccines intentionally designed to kill them.
14. Chemtrails are part of the depopulation agenda.
15. His IQ was lowered by at least 25 points thanks to childhood consumption of fluoridated tapwater. "A shadow of who I would have been calls out from the grave." (I have to admit, I think the world would be a better place if Alex Jones was slightly smarter.)
16. Mumbai was a Western attack designed to trigger WWIII.
17. After the former chief of Pakistan's intelligence agency (the ISI) Hamid Gul said Mumbai and 9/11 were perpetrated by "neocons and Zionists" in Dec. '08, Jones complained that Gul's CNN interview was "heavily edited", and that it is "childish" to accept Gul's remarks and similar allegations as anti-Semitic; that's merely a media divide-and-conquer ploy that "sophisticated and nuanced" people like himself reject.
18. "Everything is false flag! Everything revolves around it!"
19. The '93 World Trade Center bombers were recruited and led (not just infiltrated) by FBI informant Emad Salem. The men he selected were all "submental", "listed by the city as low-grade morons" with IQs of 80 or less. In reality, Yousef and Abouhalima attended university. Funder Khalid Shaikh Mohammed has a mechanical engineering degree. Even the driver, Eyad Ismoil, studied engineering at Witchita State University. Nidal Ayyad had a degree in chemical engineering from Rutgers.
20. The New World Order elite might fake a UFO landing with the Pentagon's "giant hologram projection system" as yet another excuse for martial law.
21. People are being arrested for growing aloe vera.
22. U.S. soldiers have made a hobby of throwing Iraqi children off bridges.
23. The Port Arthur massacre in Australia was "clearly staged" to usher in tougher gun control.
24. GMO crops are killing honeybees.
25. MSG causes obesity and should be banned.

[Boodles]

Not sure where you're getting your information on Russia and Russians. I have a small group of Russian friends that I met on New Year's Eve two years ago: 5 men, 3 women. Not one of them romanticizes the fall of communism there, I've never heard any of them 'rue the day' it collapsed. Nor, for that matter, any of their friends. I've seen no indications that the communist party are anywhere near a return to power.

No problem, source was a BBC documentary, I will try to find it's name. Largely about the countryside around Arkhangelsk, the withdrawal of government subsidy bringing the destruction of rural (primary sector) industry and infrastructure, the desertion of entire towns. Sought to draw a distinction between the relatively wealthy technocratic classes in Moscow, St. Petersburg and elsewhere, and the suffering country dwellers. Obviously, Moscow is rolling in money like no other place on earth and many people are enjoying the nouveau riche trappings of wealth creation there.

'Rue the day' is just a nice, archaic turn of phrase my mother constantly uses. I just meant regret.

I was left in no doubt whatsoever that a certain and substantial part of the Russian demographic, above a certain age, in rural areas of central and northern Russia, who experienced full employment throughout their working lives, have been left disillusioned by Gorbachev's 'glasnost', or rather what followed on from it with Yeltsin, (hunger, loss of purpose, extreme nationalism, so called 'Jewish' oligarchical asset stripping from distant London apartments).

Regarding that last point, from an historical and conspiratorial point of overview, the Soviet communist project has actually succeeded in wrenching power from the Tsars and concentrating it in the hands of about 12 men in London but that's by the by (and a gross over-simplification).

Your second point there is also understood. I mean the Communist Party are potentially placed to hold the balance of power between United Russia and the Liberal Democrats. The Communist Party were the second party in Russia (last I checked, happy to stand corrected). One would presume those that do not recognise their potential within the balance are, by default, happy for our man from the KGB, Mr Putin (or his underling) to just continue in power forever.

I should also point out that even in countries governed by the centre-right and the right, socialized medicine is the norm in Europe. Free education too.

Yes, this is true but doesn't negate my point. Even the most ardent ruling advocate of the so called 'free market' (an oxymoron, arguably a type of monopoly capitalism and the antithesis of free) would be hard pressed to erode the hard work done by socialists within each of these countries during the course of a temporary centre-right or right wing tenure in government. These measures are introduced by the unassuming intelligentsia, the progressive socialists, back-office researchers, lawyers and academics, and simply managed by whatever government is in power down the road, the founders having created policy from intelligence, not base knowledge, or greed.

Take the UK, the entire world remembers the name of Winston Churchill, a man who was 'also there' when the Communist Party of Russia won World War ll for the western seaboard, when an altogether more intelligent (yet unsung) man of that time was the socialist reformer, Aneurin Bevan, whose legacy remains to this day. No one thanks or remembers the progenitors, socialist, collectivist philosophers to a man or woman.

The collective principle asserts that... no society can legitimately call itself civilised if a sick person is denied medical aid because of lack of means.

—Aneurin Bevan, In Place of Fear, p100

Were right wing governments of a type in power for long enough in Europe privatisation of even the basest essential services would likely take place. It is happening right now, in fact, death by increments, as you know.

I know of no popular revolutions in Scandinavia, where the most progressive forms of socialism are instituted. That was why I spoke of 'related structural changes' (of a socialist type) rather than gun and pitch fork determinism.

 

[Boodles]

From a neo-Marxist perspective, Soviet communism is just another form of pernicious capitalism and, obviously, totalitarian in the extreme. I've no sympathy for it, a great disservice to his progressive ideas and a tremendous deceit. How does one ascend to the collective ideals espoused in great and noble works of word, when individuals within processes are corrupt to their very core, that's the fundamental philosophical question to address.

Guys, stay on topic.

Sorry. I was simply agreeing with @Grieves about power being ripped from the ancient ruling aristocracy of much of Europe and that this is actually very significant, even to Americans, whose very identity is founded upon the 'proto-communist' rhetoric of the radical, republican British activist and writer, Thomas Paine, ostensible alignment with French republicans and a rejection of the British aristocracy (though not convinced the latter is the case, in hindsight). I'm sure there's plenty of common ground with Alex Jones there, if one thinks about it, laterally. I'll shut up now

Is there a site that keeps track of his correct predictions?

 

[Boodles]

The average person found themselves in the same place economically and socially post revolution they were pre-revolution. This assumes they were not part of the 100+ million that died as a consequence of the new government policies (five year plans, forced migration, the great leap forward).

I disagree. Russia was an utterly backward, medieval mess of loose allegiances with a German middle class in Moscow, in 1880, by 1980, it was the second most powerful nation on earth, with full employment. Ladas and bread lines are superficial issues. There's no bread in the stores here half the time and very little work to be found outside London (where I currently am). The policies of the most powerful nation on earth had a great deal to do with the failure of the Soviet Bloc (and that applies to Cuba (acutely) Ethiopia, Egypt, Libya, Ghana, India, Greece, and every other formerly 'socialist' leaning nation too).

I don't dispute any of the rest of what you have written, the ends never justify the means, whether it's western imperialists from Spain to the Americas kidnapping and enslaving millions of souls from Africa, to build the countries in which most of you guys live (one wonders when folks will finally get around to saying 'thank you') or draconian, murderous restructuring by the Bolshevik elite onward, in the supposed name of a humble Ashkenazi, who wrote under candlelight in a small rented room in Clerkenwell, London, Karl Marx, it hardly makes a difference. It's imperialism.

I just passed his room, by the way, and Lenin plotted the revolution from a room not 30 metres from where I now write. Always been a seething bed of criminality and exiled discontent in my neighbourhood.

The advances you are touting in education and health care occurred in both revolutionary and non-revolutionary states. They seem to be influenced by factors other than the form of government.

Yes, communism, i.e the work of Engels and Marx (on Manchester).

If you are going to credit a governmental system with advances, you don't get to exclude countries where those advances did not take place (you can't just omit Africa because it's inconvenient).

I didn't exclude Africa for convenience. I excluded it for the sake of being factual.

Election of the Communist party does not mean a return to government as it existed pre-1990 (unless the party plans on eliminating the other parties and reinstating the former socialist dictatorship).

Funny you should say that, it's a possibility, in line with Leninist thought on alternating between dictatorship and democracy to achieve ends. I'm already on the page you're reading.

The party will still have to respond to the needs of the people and if it doesn't will find itself voted out of power. It could also mean a lot of the population is to young to remember the joys of standing on line for hours to purchase basic needs.

Like the head of the communist 'KGB', Vladimir Putin? The emperor has endlessly bountiful, silken attire. Your faith in democracy is pleasing to the eye. Plaudits to you, sir. It's true about the youth demographic. I think I'm being slightly misunderstood here. When I speak of communism I speak of the philosophy underpinning Das Kapital, not Stalinist or Leninist technocratic policies emanating from any Polit Bureau. In terms of Russian internal politics, just reminding everyone that former allegiances are complex yet, to a significant extent, intact. Let's also not forget China, Russia's closest ally, of sorts, and soon to be the greatest nation on earth, is run by the Communist Party. Economically speaking, everything seems to be just tickety-boo. Let's not go there on sovereign wealth and western debt. The fat lady hasn't song just because Ronald Reagan and his dutiful assistant, George H. W. Bush, said so in the Washington Post. The fundamental ideas outlast a myriad bastardisations as they hold within them intellectual truth and therefore, likely will prevail, over all common, fashionable misunderstanding.

Amazing how far one gets into disagreements just by agreeing with one contributor to this thread on Alex Jones.

Forehead to brick-wall moment. You're referring to technologies of the past as modern because in the past they were modern, and suggesting that means modern isn't new...? I don't even... Ugh.
I'm just gonna re-quote my previous statement with emphasis and naively hope for the best.

Make it count- the density of your forehead is seemingly quite formidable.

indeed-as I have repeated ad nasuem- the tools are "new". The premise, motivation and goals of economic exploitation are not. "Modern" technology just drives the bus...but the destination are the same. The same parameters that have dictated this system for centuries is the same. The financial gain of the wealthy through economic exploitation of market processes and political graft is as old as sin.

No. The current, modern system through which this is being achieved to an unprecedented degree is absolutely new. It's asinine to suggest otherwise, unless you can prove Rockefeller and the East India Company engaged in algorithmic trading, just to start.

No. What is asinine is your seemingly lack of historical perspective. Rockefeller and East India were not using computers for automated trading- but they were using all the principles behind the manipulation of the markets- the arbitrage, the hedging, trend following, reducing transaction costs etc...all trading techniques that existed long before someone put them in a computer program to run automatically. New tools...same basic concept of taking advantage of imperfect information for financial gain. Same as it ever was.

Wow, so much to go on there. I adore number 20. Fantastic and fascinating idea. Someone should implement it (yes, I know it's roots).

Where I differ from most people, I suppose, is I agree with much of his emphasis; there is much truth there, in my opinion, and I haven't got to that stage of thinking by watching American cable television, or wherever it is that your Infowars thingy lives.

For the record, at a glance, what strikes me as true are clearly 6 and 7, elements of 8, possibly 10 (would have to research that), sceptical about all arguments pro and con 12, would hedge a bet truth in 17. 22 and 25 are clearly true in potential scope. 22 isn't half the story.

Many of our buildings are built in a Greek revival style, that was a popular style at that time, for all types of buildings, including homes. It is not Egyptian/Babylonian. It seems that Alex Jones has no concept of the history of architecture.

Do you have ANY evidence to back up any of your statements? Please post them.

 

[MikeC]

For the record, at a glance, what strikes me as true are clearly 6 and 7, elements of 8, possibly 10 (would have to research that), sceptical about all arguments pro and con 12, would hedge bet truth in 17. 22 and 25 are clearly true in potential scope. 22 isn't half the story.

8 reads:

8. Foster children are being killed with radiation and chemicals.

really? Foster children are being singled out for this? how are they targeted??

And 22:

22. U.S. soldiers have made a hobby of throwing Iraqi children off bridges.

did you mean to put some sort of smiley or other indication od (black) humour after your comment that this was "only half the story", or do you really believe something like this??

25. MSG causes obesity and should be banned.

At best the science is still out on that one :

Animal studies and one large cross-sectional study of 752 healthy Chinese men and women suggest that monosodium glutamate (MSG) may be associated with overweight/obesity, and these findings raise public concern over the use of MSG as a flavour enhancer in many commercial foods. The aim of this analysis was to investigate a possible association between MSG intake and obesity, and determine whether a greater MSG intake is associated with a clinically significant weight gain over 5 years. Data from 1282 Chinese men and women who participated in the Jiangsu Nutrition Study were analysed. In the present study, MSG intake and body weight were quantitatively assessed in 2002 and followed up in 2007. MSG intake was not associated with significant weight gain after adjusting for age, sex, multiple lifestyle factors and energy intake. When total glutamate intake was added to the model, an inverse association between MSG intake and 5 % weight gain was found (P = 0·028), but when the model was adjusted for either rice intake or food patterns, this association was abolished. These findings indicate that when other food items or dietary patterns are accounted for, no association exists between MSG intake and weight gain.

Do you have any evidence to refute them?

But first of all I would like to reassure you, once again, that in saying 'clearly 6' I am not being insulting or equating freemasonry to devil worship, not at all.

I think many people fall at the first hurdle there, have no idea their entire identity is predicated on the dark age appropriations of their forbears. The African mysteries of arithmetic, music and astronomy lie at the heart of all human endeavour, all understanding of existence.

Freemasonry pays homage to this. I am neither a mathematician, musician or astronomer, neither am I a biblical scholar or reader of hieroglyphics, nor a 19th degree initiate into any of these latter day western esoteric societies, nonetheless, I do at least understand, as I mentioned before to you, that reverence toward Lucifer pertains to light, and to Saturn, rather than any of the ideas of those who labour under false religious consciousness, or modern rationalists who also work from fundamental misunderstandings of their own cultural antecedents. I do not pretend to understand the significance of Saturn within the African mysteries, the genius of our ancient ancestors is beyond our limited scope, perhaps I should look into that and get back to you? I presume Saturn guides the night, and what of it, one wonders?

Greek architecture? This is falsehood. It's African. We have been here before and you didn't agree then either. No problem. Styles of long destroyed buildings are largely irrelevant. I was, once again, referring to African arithmetic and astronomy. You answered your own question by referencing Greece.

 

[Cairenn]

And all modern skyscapers are phallic symbols. Greek revival Is NOT Egyptian or African architecture.

The fact that you refuse to offer any evidence for you unfounded comments, just got you added to my ignore list. Continue with you beliefs---since it doesn't seem you wish to learn anything.

 

[Boodles]

really? Foster children are being singled out for this? how are they targeted??

The history of fostered and adopted children (in western society) unfortunately reads like a litany of woe. I've [...] immersed myself in a lot of the literature. I think people fall in personifying conspiratorial notions. They also fall in assuming such personifications render the existence of such as void. Mechanisms of all kinds conspire to actuate realities whereby fostered or adopted children end up statistically more likely to have children placed in foster care themselves, to be imprisoned, on low income, committing crime and suicide, and yes, in this case, on anti-psychotic or anti-depressant drugs with alarmingly disproportionate regularity. I can't speak for radiation and wonder what that is concerning. The whole area of adoption and fostering is curiously dark but I'll resist embellishing arguments with further personal anecdotes.

And 22:

22. U.S. soldiers have made a hobby of throwing Iraqi children off bridges.

did you mean to put some sort of smiley or other indication od (black) humour after your comment that this was "only half the story", or do you really believe something like this??

No smilies. Of course I do, not from having witnessed that specifically, from having witnessed evidence of hundreds of comparable acts, and there is nothing funny about it. I personally know men who have done the exact same thing in London and served a long time in prison for it. How many Americans do I need to watch pissing on the dead bodies of teenagers, leading naked and blindfolded kids around on a leash, malformed newly born, or toasted corpses of hundreds of children who didn't do a thing before such an idea becomes plausible to me? Quite surprised I'm having to defend this.

I don't know if you recall the internet diaries of American marines in Iraq, when they were 'fighting the good war' and therefore foolishly publishing their crimes with shameless impunity to one another, but I do, I was watching. It's all been removed from the internet - and d'you know what? I don't particularly hold soldiers, often misguided children themselves, to account for these things, it's a dehumanising experience, all told, and normative psychological barriers go out the window in such circumstances.

25. MSG causes obesity and should be banned.

Fat causes fatness. MSG, any excessive salt intake, has been posited as possibly having a role in high blood pressure, which is related to obesity. Calcium has some functional relationship here too. There are complex co-determinants. I'm not a doctor, I have just avoided excess salt for years, have normal blood pressure and a normal weight. I wouldn't ban it, people like it, but it's surprising how foul even the tiniest amount of MSG tastes once one has totally eliminated added salts from one's diet.

 

[Grieves]

No. What is asinine is your seemingly lack of historical perspective. Rockefeller and East India were not using computers for automated trading- but they were using all the principles behind the manipulation of the markets- the arbitrage, the hedging, trend following, reducing transaction costs etc...all trading techniques that existed long before someone put them in a computer program to run automatically. New tools...same basic concept of taking advantage of imperfect information for financial gain. Same as it ever was.

Yes, again, you are absolutely correct, greed and exploitation are not new. This hasn't been argued once. You don't need to keep restating it in ever-so-slightly different language. Now, please try and see my point that what I'm referring too is not and cannot be described by any stretch of the imagination as a 'basic concept'. It's a complex global financial system unique and unprecedented in human History. You can boil anything down to the 'same basic concept'. Hey, burlesque dancer or warrior-poet, they're both made of a fair bit of carbon, right? So when you boil it down beyond all recognition, same basic concept. But what does that have to do with anything...?

The history of fostered and adopted children (in western society) unfortunately reads like a litany of woe.

Certainly some soldiers....but your post says it is hte habit of "American soldiers" - which paints the whole lot.

Ah....now you use "EXCESSIVE" in there.....so again backing off from the claim

Here's an idea - why not make your ACTUAL claims in the first place, especially the factual ones, so you don't have to waste all our time with cutting through the bunk and we can actually get to those that we agree on and those about which there is a place for some discussion??

 

[Boodles]

My 'post' says nothing of the kind. I made not one reference to habits in my own words, nor to any means of extrapolating universal behaviours from incidences involving parties engaged in invasions. That was your thought, and it's appreciated.

Ah....now you use "EXCESSIVE" in there.....so again backing off from the claim

No, I don't tend to back off from claims here as I don't put forward anything I haven't given proper consideration to. The one exception, I believe, concerned the treaty on the arms trade. @Landru, who strikes me as reasoned, asked a simple question and I simply retracted the parts in which I was in error. I've no idea what you mean and will check but I simply do not view this forum as a competition whereby I set out to claim this and that like a moron and get rectified by those who know better, or vice versa.

Here's an idea - why not make your ACTUAL claims in the first place, especially the factual ones, so you don't have to waste all our time with cutting through the bunk and we can actually get to those that we agree on and those about which there is a place for some discussion??

I did and have. Go ahead. There's often a gaping chasm of silence though, isn't there, when folks are in error, be it slight or substantial. I try to concede all my errors or misunderstandings, in time, and note who else has courtesy to do the same.

 

[Alhazred The Sane]

Er, Babylon wasn't located in Africa.

 

[Boodles]

Er, Babylon wasn't located in Africa.

No one said it was.

 

[Alhazred The Sane]

You keep saying African architecture, and then mentioning Egypt and Babylon.

 

[Boodles]

I deleted a couple of messages as I'd rather not go around in circles with those that can't grasp my emphasis.

I'll be succinct this time. The supposed 'lie' put out by Alex Jones (above) is that the Capitol buildings at Washington D.C are symbolically Egyptian or Babylonian. African or Babylonian, okay? I'm deliberately using the word Africa for Egypt.

This Washington D.C 'lie' has been dismissed by Careinn because many of the buildings are understood to be designed after the style of ancient Greece.

I have explained that African (and Babylonian and other) architectural styles of this type pre-date what is latterly interpreted as Greco-Roman by Europeans. Moreover, that this style is of no great relevance when we are referring, as is actually the fundamental point of this particular subject, to the African mysteries of arithmetic, music, geometry and astronomy; and in this case, more specifically, African trigonometry.

We had similar discussions before. She says anything I say around these subjects is nonsense, and here I say in all likelihood, yes, your Freemasonic elder brethren of old, and your yoked masons of the stone, builded ye a New Jerusalem, in honour of the Sulay man, Isis and Ra.

Yet hardly any among them realise. Quite, quite brilliant.

Cairenn has awareness of freemasonry so every single time I have mentioned them on this forum she has intercepted me within moments to dismiss what I say, only to be found to be wrong afterwards. The interception comes in the form of a presumption I'm a sort of schmuck bait for this site, spreading nonsense about conspiracies, without realising I am in Britain and my views on them are a little more nuanced than some others.

She says Alex Jones 'seems' to have no concept of architectural history. I might, therefore, venture to say she 'seems' to have no concept of Pythagorus of Samos, his induction within the African mysteries from where he learned everything (as did all the great thinkers of ancient Greece) and the absolutely critical role the African mysteries play in freemasonry and in fact all European secret societies from now, to the enlightenment, dark age, Christendom, Rome, Greece, Druidism and beyond.

But what does that have to do with anything...?

No. I do not see your point - at all. I think you are blind to the greater reality and breadth of history that shows this behavior and "system" is not "new" but a continuation of trends dating back centuries.

Unprecedented in its size perhaps but not in its origins, methods and outcomes. They don't use chariots or cannonballs to open markets anymore- just jet planes...but the motivation and reasoning are identical.

The same parameters that have dictated this system for centuries are the same- Its not just that greed and exploitation isn't new its the manifestation of that greed that isn't new- ie: The financial gain of the wealthy through economic exploitation of market processes and political graft. The consolidation of power and wealth. Wealthy corporations trying to manipulate political policy and outcomes to their advantage is not new. Just because they use computers to capture advantages in seconds rather than hours or days doesn't mean the system is new...only improved.

 

[Sausalito]

There is evidence fostered or adopted children in the west are disproportionately prescribed anti-psychotic and anti-depressant drugs. Just as I said.

Does this surprise you? Should any reasonable person imagine that the root causes of this can be found in some murky "agenda" managed by some equally murky cabal? This appears to be evidence of Alex Jones' tendency to cast every conceivable ill as part of some over-arching program to do, er, something bad. This reminds me of the classic Onion headline, 'KKK Member Struggles To Blame Blacks For His Hangover'.

Thanks for that insight into the verb prescribing not meaning the verb killing. Now, again you're putting words into my mouth. If you insist on being patronising and pedantic, I assure you I can excel at it too. Lesson one: Communication. The word 'elements'. Produces free rein to select any constituent part within a statement and infer and imply meaning at will, without having been tied to any position at all. 'Elements' should also immediately convey this fact to you, in fact compels you to respond within the terms I have set out. I'm confident you're with me, yet instead of establishing consensus on terms you have plumbed straight for your insight that verbs that mean different things, mean different things.

Actually, I'm done with that kind of talk now.

I genuinely don't know how to respond to you. I gave you a reasonably full and very clearly expressed range of views, some of which were quite interesting. I even hinted of my deep involvement in related issues at the very most senior level in the country, this year, and you're caplocking comparisons that weren't even defined, let alone expressed. You have no genuine interest in the subject and are replete of empathy on matters. You simply want to score points over irrelevancies rather than look at deeper issues.

Have you ever been with or regularly cared for a person who is on anti-psychotic drug treatments? Do you know the difference between depot injection and pills in terms of effects? Or how radically different types and doses can affect people? Have you ever experienced someone literally trying to scream out that a dose or type is so strong that it is going to literally knock them stone dead? What about the panic attacks, or the utterly terrifying side effects from side effects pills? (Not an error in the sentence). What does one do to help someone hallucinating from these side effects so badly they smash into things, walk in front of cars, become deranged? Or in the other extreme, they constantly pass out and smash their head on the concrete? Or worse still, when the dose is so strong they are literally catatonic, dribbling, their jaw, elbows and legs completely locked. Are you familiar with severe Tardive Dyskinesia? What about the tremendous depression such states bring about in a person? Are you aware of the loss of freedom, or will, of pride? What about the taboo and the shame? Ever noticed how woman on anti-psychotics effectively undergo forced sterilisation, in the prime of their lives, without menstruating in years? No? Have you ever had to help someone who has been on medication for a long period and then suddenly withdraws from it, the shock to the system this can bring? What about the effects of taking different drugs simultaneously, for heart problems, diabetes etc? Are you aware of the severe obesity brought about by anti-psychotics? Are you aware of contributing factors? Are you aware of the despair people suffer, not as a result of mental illness, but as a result of medication? If you are, why are you asking these questions?

what you post said was:

You have ignored my other half of the story. Again, I gave a full and clear account of my view. More importantly to me, you accentuate nullifying significance to the particular mode of death of a single innocent child and not a proportional opposite to the summary execution of dozens of children by American soldiers on a hour to hour basis.

I'm verbose, lack conciseness and take too long to get to points. I'm mercurial. I could go on to prove that point again. I apologise for that. It's just how I am as a lot flies through my mind.

However, it's impossible to list dozens of negative impacts from certain drugs without doing exactly that and being detailed. Would it be better to just write 'stuff happens'?

Also, I was responding to another list, the bits I picked out from @Clock's earlier post on Alex Jones that have been put back to me several times in a lump, it's difficult to remain clear with several totally different issues being discussed simultaneously.

I understood what you meant and I appreciated it. You're correct in saying it's born of experience. In fact my point there was it's doubly from experience, related to both prescription drugs and fostered children, which wasn't addressed but that's just as well. I'd like to share experiences but am effectively under a gagging order and loose words can amount to contempt of court and a stiff prison sentence. I'm finding people underestimate just how seriously the courts take contempt in the area of family law. I believe this point is relevant to the question @Sausalito asked of me, and to the 'Jonesian' take on foster care, generally, and will see if I can get together a coherent response that incorporates it.
