Revision as of 18:54, 20 December 2005
Alexander Emerick Jones (born 1974) is a controversial U.S. documentary film producer, journalist and radio host who vigorously works to investigate claims that a New World Order is attempting to conquer the world. He is often characterized as a conspiracy theorist, though Jones and his supporters bristle at this label and refer to him as an independent investigative journalist. In a stunning annoucement on December 19, 2005, he announced that he would be supporting the 2008 presidential candidacy of a Michigan man who claims to be God. [1]
Background
Getting his start with a call-in format cable access television program in Austin, Texas, Jones' lucid speaking style and accusations against the United Nations, the Federal Government, shadowy secret societies and nefarious multinational corporations eventually landed him a call-in radio show which is broadcast Monday through Friday on a number of AM and FM stations around the United States. Worldwide he can be heard on shortwave radio station WWCR (3.215 mHz) and Internet radio through the Genesis Communications Network (GCN). Jones still broadcasts his show on public access television in Austin.
Jones' politics are essentially libertarian, although he started off as a conservative Republican; he is an outspoken advocate of American Constitutional minimalism in government and extensive individual liberties, and vehemently opposed to crony capitalism and institutions furthering these causes. As an investigative journalist, he is among the most well-supported investigators in the field today with nods from the likes of Ron Paul, Greg Palast and Bev Harris; all of whom he has interviewed on his daily radio broadcast.
He is something of an offbeat local celebrity in his hometown of Austin. Jones has appeared in Richard Linklater's feature film Waking Life as himself, spouting his trademark firebrand rhetoric. He has also been featured on Good Morning America, 20/20 Downtown, 60 Minutes, The Discovery Channel, A&E, BBC, Trio, Court TV, C-Span and SKY Television. Jones is occasionally interviewed by George Noory on his nationally syndicated Coast to Coast AM talk show. Since first appearing on Coast to Coast AM, Jones has participated in round table discussions normally consisting of three other guests. He later married a female that worked at the cable access studio.
Themes in Jones' Work
Jones frequently highlights what he believes are diminishing civil liberties in both the US and across the world and the increasing powers and scope of the government, the homogenization of global standards, laws and extension of trade zones, the influence and power of big business, multinational corporations and media outlets whilst drawing attention to the potential or reported conflict-of-interest those areas may cause. Focus is often brought on the amalgam of armed forces, arms trade and commercial and political interests described as the Military-industrial complex.
In particular though, the potentially dangerous acquiescence of citizens in giving up civil liberties for security, convenience or any other reason is a major recurring theme in Jones' work.
This ties in with the proposition of government-, corporate- or Military-Industrial-complex-created atrocities—officially denounced as foreign and/or domestic terrorism—being used as a method to shape public and political opinion to achieve that objective.
On this note, many of Jones' patrons credit him with predicting the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York and its responsibility officially being laid with Osama Bin Laden months before it happened on one of his TV broadcasts based purely on the government's own information and Jones' own analysis and understanding of history.
Additionally, Jones highlights growing concerns surrounding the motives and potential abuse of new technologies such as the Verichip, ID Cards, RFID, new vaccines, as well as legislation such as the Patriot Act, increasing police and federal powers and cites historical precedent as a stark warning on these issues.
Jones collectively and loosely identifies those ultimately responsible and attempting to shape and benefit from such events as the Globalists; a powerful elite who, in the long run, believe overtly or covertly in the legitimacy and authority of a global totalitarian regime, supported by intrusive technologies, eugenics and run by powerful corporations, to which Nation states are reduced to little more than ineffectual trading zones. It is a term that perhaps could be used interchangeably with The Illuminati, although this is often not too clear, and it is sometimes debatable if the executives of powerful corporations, and some political leaders are themselves figures of the Illuminati or if there is a higher tier above these levels not in public view as is often suggested.
Based on his research, Jones asserts that the will of the Globalists is being gradually implemented through compartmentalized structures where different branches of an organization are unaware of what the other branches are doing and of the true intentions of their work.
Alternative Media
Jones' work and websites are distinctly part of the emerging alternative media; the reported growing phenomena of a movement away from traditional forms of corporate broadcasting and publishing, where many feel they are not getting a full or accurate picture about current events, or that the picture is skewed in favour of advertiser money or government interests and seek independent substitutes, primarily through the Internet.
Documentary Films
Alex Jones has produced a series of videos. Major themes of Jones' work include the emergence of a totalitarian world government, political intrigue, erosion of civil liberties and US national sovereignty, the misuse of government power, corporate deception, government corruption, and cohesion between disparate power structures. He allows his listeners to freely make VHS and DVD copies of all his films. Digital copies of his films can also be found floating around the Internet on various web sites and P2P networks.
America Destroyed By Design (1997)
Jones' first documentary film from the mid-90s. He travels the country and discusses how he feels the sovereignty of the US is being subordinated to global interests.
Wake Up (Or Waco) (2000)
A video by Jones that documents the 1993 Waco incident with the Branch Davidians, as well as the cover up that followed.
Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports Exposed (199?)
A video by Jones in which he interviews commodity trading advisor Walter Burien according to who the stock market is largely owned by the federal, state and local governments. The video also includes the interview of the former IRS special agent, Joe Banister.
Dark Secrets: Inside Bohemian Grove (2000)
In Dark Secrets: Inside Bohemian Grove, Jones and his assistant infiltrated the annual secret gathering of the Bohemian Club. He was aided by a team of British filmakers working for Channel 4. Footage was later shown in the U.K. as part three in a four-part documentary, The Secret Rulers of the World.
While in the Grove, Jones used a hidden camera to record—among other things—the Cremation of Care ritual, in which some of the most powerful men in the world gather before a 40-foot stone resembling a huge owl (Moloch), and burn a human-like dummy in effigy of "dull care." They then proceed to "read the sign" within its ashes.
9-11: The Road to Tyranny (2002)
In the film, Jones presents information about governments 'supposed' involvement in not only September 11th but the Oklahoma City bombing as well. There is also a bit of a history lesson with clips from the past with tyrannic situations that Jones compares to events happening today.
Perhaps his most popular documentary, 9-11: The Road To Tyranny was released months after September 11th.
Masters of Terror (2002)
In what appears to be a sequel of 9-11: The Road to Tyranny, Jones explains why he feels the elite are using manufactured terrorism to get the population to go along with pre-planned wars in an effort to grab the world's remaining natural resources, consolidate wealth and destroy the middle class.
Police State 2000 (2000)
The first of a 3-part series; Police State 2000 has Jones focusing on the growing militarization of American law enforcement with footage of training drills, an apparent attack drill by Special Forces on south Texas towns called Operation: Urban Warrior, and concentration camps.
Police State 2: The Takeover (2002)
The Takeover focuses on what Jones likes to call the "Problem-Reaction-Solution" paradigm (Hegelian Dialectic) that he feels is being used by the government to terrorize the American people into accepting a highly controlled and oppressive society.
Police State 3: Total Enslavement (2003)
Jones' third installment in his Police State series. The film documents the rise of the Homeland Security, Patriot Acts 1 and 2, the Total Information Awareness Network, government-run white slavery rings, the new prison surveillance economy and more.
Matrix of Evil (2003)
The Matrix of Evil is a collection of footage from speeches and conversations with Alex Jones, Congressman Ron Paul, Colonel Craig Roberts, Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and activist Frank Morales. A trailer is available on his web site.
American Dictators: Documenting The Staged 2004 Election (2004)
In American Dictators, Jones presents information about the major candidates in the 2004 presidential race. Alex mentions that Bush and Kerry are actually cousins (see http://www.familyforest.com/Kerry_Bush_Closer_Cousins.html) who were in Skull and Bones together, among other things. This film was released in Fall of 2004.
Martial Law: 9-11: The Rise of the Police State (2005)
Jones' most popular and famed film was released in February 2005. A preview trailer and video clips are available at his web site. In addition, a web site has been created as an information resource tool for the film. The site presents all the articles and documents that appear in the film to back up the films claims and to allow viewers to dig deeper into the individual issues that are presented - martiallaw911.info This film has become very popular on file sharing networks,and is also available to download free of charge from various sites on the web, like the Internet Archive, and Revolution Radio Broadband, Dial Up
The Order of Death (2005)
Jones' latest film was released in October 2005. This film focuses on the Bohemian Grove, Freemasonry, the Illuminati and other occult orders, plus their actions, members, propaganda tactics, homosexual tendencies etc... The film is currently only available on BitTorrent, from the Conspiracy Central Tracker, but like his other films, it won't be long until it gets permanent hosting on a HTTP or FTP server. He made this film to "celebrate the five year anniversary of his historic infiltration of the Bohemian Grove, the occult playground of the global elite".
Internet Presence
Jones has an extensive network of web sites. His main site is infowars.com (short for information wars), which is run by his wife, Violet Jones, and updated daily. He also enlists the help of Paul Joseph Watson from England to gather news and run a site called prisonplanet.com. Watson also runs propagandamatrix.com, which mirrors much of the same content. In April 2004, Jones and Watson debuted prisonplanet.tv, a low-cost subscription service aimed to help financially subsidize the bandwidth for all the free content being offered on other web sites. He offers unlimited access to all his documentary films, radio interview archives, clips from his cable access television show and access to digital versions of books he and Watson have written. Watson's brother runs infowars.net and also infowarsnetwork.com; a hosting service. Another site in Jones' Internet arsenal that is not updated as frequently is jonesreport.com (a take off of the Drudge Report). In the Summer of 2004, an independent site called SearchInfowars.com appeared designed to help listeners search through the massive amount of information Jones puts out through his network of web sites. His movies are available free on many sites on the net, including the Internet Archive [2]. He said he doesn't mind, as long as links to his sites (for example to infowars, prisonplanet, americans against arnold etc...) aren't edited out.
Americans Against Arnold
In the Fall of 2004, Jones formed Americans Against Arnold; a group dedicated to presenting facts about Arnold Schwarzenegger, who Jones strongly feels is being primed by powerful people in the world to be the next President of the United States. Jones says Americans Against Arnold began as a counter to the Amend For Arnold group that also began in 2004 and is seeking to amend the Constitution so Schwarzenegger can run for President. The site got some mainstream press almost immediately with mentions on CNN and in print media such as USA Today. He plans on running radio and television ads.
