Patriot: Alex Jones

The problem with Alex Jones is he doesn't have or want any credibility.
He was responsible for much hysteria around y2k. Even reported ICBMs from Russia were in the air as a result of Y2k, had anyone who took him seriously running for the hills. That's typical of Jones. But he is a disinfo agent and a provocateur.

But Alex Jones is no Patriot. He is frankly not even a conspiracy theorist.
So, it doesn't MATTER what he says one way or anotehr about Ron Paul. The only people who care, are people who don't listen to him.

If you want a real Ron Paul supporter, look at Lew Rockwell.

I used to be big into network marketing or multi-level marketing. You know... the "pyramid schemes" that use word-of-mouth marketing... where a few people tell a few people.. and so on. Even though it is a viable way to build a business, and there are many, many multi-Billion dollar companies that have been built this way, many people don't understand it and think that it is a scam. I worked for Excel Communications, Inc., which at the time was the 4th largest long distance company in the U.S. doing over $4 billion annually, and they never spent a dime on traditional advertising.

In building the business with Excel, I learned a lot about human nature. They taught us that in building our business...

#1 Don't bad-mouth the competition. - It only makes you look bad. To go around screaming, "but they are in the CFR!" about another person's choice for president doesn't help your cause. It just pisses them off.

#2 Don't call it a "pyramid scheme". - Yelling "conspiracy" all the time puts you into a category of being a "kook". That transfers over to the campaign and ends up hurting it more than helping it. While most of Americans believe further investigation into 911 is warranted, most of them DO NOT believe the WTC was brought down by explosives. Saying that only turns them off to the message.

#3 Just because most people should see the light... doesn't mean they will. - The Excel business made sense to me... you switch your long distance to Excel and get paid for using the phone. Get others to do the same... and so on. This allows you to build a large business of people getting paid to do what they already do... talk on the phone. Simple and lucrative and it makes sense... BUT... so many people have lost money in "airplane schemes", ponzi schemes, and even legitimate networking companies... that you have to be gentle and not try and push people in. Campaigning works the same way.

#4 No hype! - No matter how much you believe, you shouldn't jump up and down and scream and yell and get all bent out of shape. Many people made millions in Excel... but we were taught NOT to talk about that. That was unrealistic for most people. Just like the government planting bombs in the WTC without getting caught is unrealistic for most people. Over-hyping, exaggerating... only makes them turn off to the message.

See... if you want Ron Paul to get elected... you have to play the game. The goal is votes.

The way to win people over to the cause is to use the 3 F's : "Feel, Felt, Found"

Feel - "I know how you feel."
Felt - "I used to feel the same way."
Found - "Until I found out."

For example: "Yeah, John. I know how you feel. I used to feel the same way. I used to think that Ron Paul was just an angry old man. But then I got to reading some of his speeches, and I found out that there's a lot more corruption and misuse in our government than I ever realized."

Another example: "Yeah, I heard about those racist newsletters too. I wonder about that myself. Then I looked on Ron Paul's website and read what he says about those newsletters, and I realized that he didn't say those awful things. Someone else did, and his name was also on the newsletters. That was a long time ago too. He has since disassociated himself from those people. I found out that he is a big advocate for individual rights, etc., etc...."

See...this type of conversation takes away the "you're wrong and I'm right" feeling that so many conspiracy theorists come across with. Look at the posts on this very thread. Now, I realize, the original poster started it, by calling people "idiots", but stooping to their level doesn't help matters. I know how the poster feels. The conspiracy theorists have hurt our campaign because they act like they can't believe that anyone could be duped by the situation. But most of America is duped and you have to realize that. Using the 3 F's is a great way to educate people and ACTUALLY GET THEM TO LISTEN.

My 2 cents.

I for one, will not sell out the patriot movement in this country to save Ron Paul from smears. Take for example, Naomi Wolf. I bought her book. Alex Jones interviewed her recently. Everyone plays a part in this team effort to elect Ron Paul.

We all need to get off the conspiracy theory bashing.

According to recent polls, 42.5% of Americans believe 9/11 was a conspiracy, which is much better than either Rudy Giuliani or Ron Paul are polling.

56.3% think Bush exploited the 9/11 attacks for his own gain, which is Ron Paul's position.

Here is another recent poll with similar results:

Zogby Poll: 51% of Americans Want Congress to Probe Bush/Cheney Regarding 9/11 Attacks; Over 30% Seek Immediate Impeachment

67% also fault 9/11 Commission for not investigating anomalous collapse of World Trade Center 7

http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1354

The reality of the situation is that Watergate was a conspiracy, Iran Contra was a conspiracy and the assassinatuion of Julius Caesar was a conspiracy. The government's version of 9/11 is a vast global conspiracy of evil terrorists all over the world who hate our freedoms.

People who read the Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons believe in conspiracies. Most voters believe in conspiracies. There is only a very tiny but vocal minority of people that do not believe in conspiracies.

Alex Jones stands with the majority of Americans.

The motivation for making this thread is suspect to say the least. Just what the MSM is looking for. hmmm

Alex is right on most everything he talks about.. Just like Aaron Russo in freedom to fascism.. you can't correct the problem if you don't know what the problem is!
