Donald Trump

Alex Jones isnt quite on the Icke level of incredible, but hes a lot closer than I think he would like to believe tbh. Im not sure what to make of Jones, since he came to my attention in the aftermath of 9/11 Ive flip flopped from thinking hes maybe a crazy person to maybe a sane person whos a little lose to a perhaps sane person intentionally making subjects look insane and back to a crazy person so many times, I really dont know what his angle is tbh. I think himself and Icke have made a fairly nice living for themselves, thats not to be discounted and could well be the driving force here.

Heres the thing with the pair of them though, a broken clock tells the right time twice a day, their on point level is a fair bit higher than that, and what is disturbing is how much of what they say started as "lol, this guy is mental thats clearly absurd conspiracy nonsense" and has progressed to "thats pretty much accepted fact now... and no one cares."

Alex started with the idea that terrorists were back door funded by western governments, general feeling was this was absurd. Then it moves to this middle ground where ppl generally accept that the cia created what became al qaeda and bin laden was a middleman in this for them, but essentially hes now turned on them and is working entirely against them. Now we know that Clinton is making the biggest arms deals in history with the governments she knows are in turn arming Isis, its clear as day and no one gives a shit, its just whatever, a brushed over thing of minor note.

The BBC used to be held as an important news source, impartial, fact based, keeping people informed of the realities. At some point Tony Blair didnt like what they were saying and interfered with their management, some stirrings of censorship were heard and protested. Pilger did an interview with a BBC news policy bigwig in one of his docs in recent years and on the subject of their Iraq war reporting and other cases she just blatantly says "this is what the government told us, it is our job to report what the government says it is not our place to call the prime minister of the uk a liar".... err.... yeah thats EXACTLY what ur fking job is if thats the truth. Shes openly saying the BBC is an unquestioning propaganda outlet for the government and heres the thing, she doesnt even see the relevance of that, none of them do. They are so brainwashed by now that this seems perfectly reasonable, and you know what? No one cares, she can say this and what is the response of the uk? Nothing, no response, no one even thinks theres something wrong with that. If she had said that 20 or 30 years ago there would have been outrage, from people who would have called Jones insane for saying it, people who are still alive today and those people dont care in the slightest any more.


I feel like theres hints of the doc I linked above in the situation, between the propaganda of the established media and the unrefined flow of anything and everything from the sewage pipe of the alternate media these things have essentially become normalised. The chaos of information and misinformation has left people numb, they have given up trying to make real sense of things. Theyre just trapped in their own little bubble of individualism where their world tells them what they want to hear and everything is inevitable, nothing they are thinking or doing will ever really change anything. Has the likes of Infowars actually contributed to this rather than combating it? Is that accidental? Intentional? Was that always the point? Who knows, like everything now days its just fractal questions all the way to the horizon with no answers, think whatever you want to think and then get on with your life. Go buy yourself a new pair of shoes and feel happy for a few days, or go and protest about it and get watercannoned, either action is entirely inconsequential so the sane option becomes the retail therapy.

Trump capitalised on this perfectly right? People knew the majority of what he said was nonsense so they could laugh off the bulk of it that went against what they wanted to hear as theater and focus in just on the bits they wanted to be the real message, and if they were wrong what does it matter? Nothing matters any more, were all just inconsequential individuals whos actions have no impact so its safe, we can make a whimsical vote that might be wrong, why not have some fun with it? Hillary was political status quo, sure, she was the unchanged evil machine marching onwards... but she was also simply boring right? I remember sitting watching the election rolling in and wanting Trump to win, and I have to be honest a lot of it was impish, i just thought it would be fun to see what happened when an inflatable used car salesman captained by a blonde hairspray rodent became the president of the usa, for my own individual warped amusement as a fan of political satire. Honestly I think that meant more to me in the moment than any collectivist vision of a better world in regards to the appointment of such an important global position, essentially because I dont have one of those any more. At least my sense of humor is real to me, it may be all I have left.
