Alex Jones

Alex Jones has morphed from a bona fide activist, into a hybrid of rock star and opportunist. Although he still puts out some valuable content, mostly aligned towards the libertarian part of the political spectrum, he now appears to be owned, or partially owned by the very system that he used to rail against, and now *pretends* to rail against. As he has currently has carved out a most lucrative career in the media business, the powers-that-be have likely considered him "too big, with too much reach, not to be a part of them". As a result, he has probably been given certain boundaries that he is not permitted to transgress, in order to maintain his career status and the viability of his business, without harassment. Who needs harassment?

Alex Jones was one of the great voices for 9/11 Truth, but now he barely gives lip service. Perhaps the reality about 9/11, and its political ramifications, is considered too sensitive and threatening to the status quo for larger alternative media sources (such as infowars.com or prisonplanet.com) to be permitted to cover without some form of filtering, or moderating influence. In effect Alex Jones is well on the way to joining the taboo on 9/11 which exists within the corporate media, and the leading "left" (!) media, such as Democracy Now and the Huffington Post.

Despite his star status, Alex Jones is by no means immortal. Maybe he is becoming more aware of hat basic sense of self-preservation as he gets older, like most people. He cares for his family, like most people. He's worked hard for his business, like any businessperson who starts an enterprise from scratch. In other words, he's very comfortable, and deserves that reward. He's put in a lot of time and effort, and perhaps he feels he's done his community service and apprenticeship, at some risk to his person as well. Perhaps, on account of where he is now and the awareness he has re. the murderous and psychopathic nature of certain parties within the topmost ranks of the US power structure, that he is not too keen on to following the likes of Barry Jennings, Sen. Paul Wellstone and many others terminated on account of their inconvenience, into a place where they cant cause any trouble. Who can blame him?

So, sadly, perhaps Alex Jones is now toeing their line, in his own bull-horning fashion. He has become a parody of himself, just like Mick Jagger, who still sings songs railing against the establishment, now as a fully-fledged member of that same establishment. It's human nature at work here, no conspiracy required.
