1.) Jones is not a journalist. He is a community college dropout. And it shows in his work.

He will make blanket statements like "The Arabs who own Hollywood all believe "

There are a few problems with that statement. Who are the Arabs that "own Hollywood"? Are there any published studies of what their agenda is? What does he offer you that proves to you that Hollywood is owned by Arabs and those Arabs have any kind of shared agenda?

Anyone who has ever taken a course on Journalism can see that Jones breaks pretty much every rule in the A.P. Stylebook in his videos.

2.) Jones does not attribute any of his "facts" to sources.

He will tell you about "secret documents" but he won't give you any information that will allow you to find these documents. He will tell you about pending "martial law" legislation but he will not give you the names of specific bills.

3.) The footage he uses is often shown out of context.

Ever wonder why he uses so many short clips? Thats because its easy to take a bunch of soundbites and edit them together and make something that sounds scary. If you cut and pasted some clips the right way, you could make anything look bad. Most of what you see are people saying one, maybe two sentences. You are not given enough info to really tell what they are saying, you just see what Jones wants you to see.

You see video's of police in riot gear and hear him babble on about "martial law". What he's not telling you is that these cops are traning for 9/11 type scenarios and responses to events like Columbine and the VA Tech shootings. The same people who would say "We need to train our cops in counterterrorism" 4 years ago... are freaking out now that we are doing just that.

4.) He conjures up bullshit.

I don't know where he is getting this bullshit from about FEMA turning military bases into concentration camps. He says a lot about H.B. 645.

Well here is a link to the full-text of HR. 645 (FEMA using military bases) nothing about detainment or martial law of any sort is listed, it just says that the areas will be used as command centers for coordination of Federal/State/Local humanitarian efforts in the event of disaster. This bill is meant to give federal/state/local authorities places to coordinate their responses to emergencies so that we don't have another situation bungled Katrina was.

5.) OMG THEY'RE FOLLOWING US!!!1!

If you hang around construction sites taking pictures and shit it looks pretty sketchy. Given the recent rise of theft of building materials and tools from construction site I'm guessing most construction crews don't take very kindly to guys creeping around taking video/pictures without permission.

And in the wake of 9/11 I'm guessing most military bases don't like people creeping around taking pictures either.

6.) What will the agenda of the "New World Order" be once it is created? What do they want to do with it?

I really don't see what the purpose of a "New World Order" would be. The powers that be are making tons of dough right now playing countries off of each other. Defense contractors like Halliburton, Blackwater, and Carlisle are raking in the dough from Iraq etc. If they consolidate the world, there would be no war, no competition among different countries/markets for control of resources.

Anyhow, those are my thoughts on the situation. Sure, the economic crisis is bad and yes, there are a lot of political changes going on right now. But people like Alex Jones are just taking advantage of the situation and trying to create an atmosphere of panic so that they can benefit from it. Jones has gone from a public access channel (think Wayne's World) to about 60 radio stations. He's got advertizing dollars from radio and he's got video's that sell for $30 a pop. He has a lot to gain from people buying in to his garbage.
