Bells and whistles and all, but this guy has always rubbed me the wrong way. When he talks, I feel horrified at life. He seemed to have a lot of facts, but I don't know how accurate or inaccurate those facts are. All I know if that his way of scaring us seems evil and I don't want to give any energy to him and his rhetoric. I ran into another conspiracy theorist a while back, but he was an Alex Jones follower and said Jones is to be credited for his bravery in bringing truth to the surface. I couldn't get him off that stance for anything. He used to send me all kinds of sites from Prison Planet, Jones' website. I wouldn't open any of it. PRISON PLANET? It says it all right there. This is a nut job in every sense of the word.

2. When you have an Aquarian go off the deep end
Thu Jan 10, 2013, 01:11 AM
Jan 2013

it's very dangerous. Why? Because most of them have very strong minds and opinions. They pride
themselves with thinking very broadly, and being very fixed. Most Aq. males will listen to no one
about anything.

We have the great ones like
FDR
Lincoln
Ellen
Oprah
Eckhart Tolle
Ed Schultz

but, when they go off the deep end, you have

this clown
Sarah Palin
Glenn Beck
Rush Limbaugh is Capricorn with lots of Aquarius in his chart
an many others who get twisted (but seem convincing to "weak" minds&quot

We're on the right track here; which is why I am proud to stay here.
Peace in our minds is how we don't fight back.
This country is just now coming out of its infancy (IMHO)

How many TV shows now have the word "war" in it? It's symbolic, I think

...that he is a disinfo agent of the first water. Whether knowingly or not. TPTB have always used people with a loose grasp on reality, and/or people who have become overwhelmed by experiences that they've had that don't fit the ''norm.'' And above all they've used ridicule as their primary weapon and first line of defense designed to keep their pilfered knowledge and advanced tech under wraps and under their control. These tactics have been used in conjunction with their chemical-biological restraint programs designed to limit our inborn cognitive abilities.

While all this has worked fairly well for them in the past, the energies coming in now can't be stopped, controlled or altered. They can't stop this Light. The ''dark'' days are numbered, but these human beings of limited understanding continue with what they're doing because it's all they know how to do. And they're really scared now because everything is falling apart.

Alex's antics and bizarre behavior should be roundly ignored, and yet he should also be sent Light by all who understand that We Are One. We're here to learn this. And Alex helps with this lesson in his own bizarre way because he causes conversations and ideas to occur that would otherwise likely never happen.

Love it.

As for Jones, he reminds me of the guys working out in the outskirts of NYC selling cheap knockoffs out front and heroin out back, fast talking and comfortable relating to thugs and mob bosses, and so contemptuous of his fellow humans he gets off trying to horrify us all. For a profit, too.

Radio is full of these kinds of "sadistic airheads" as I always called them. Little shady megalomaniacs who choose radio because they don't want you to see the look in their eyes or hear them laughing at you behind your back.

It does not resonate with me, however. The word "spritual" is uber nebulous. A truly self-realized person does not feel fear and rage because those emotions are based in ignorance. However, someone with SOME spirtual understanding may feel those things and yet still be somewhat conscious. I agree that we cannot be what we are not. However, that doesn't mean we will never get to that place beyond jealousy, etc.

Think about what would cause a person to be angry at God, full of jealousy or rage...It's forgetting who you really are.

Hey, watch some Eckhart Tolle videos. He explains it way better than I. He talks about his samadhi experience--it happened totally without his expectation of self-realization.

and I understand what HE means and what I mean, but that's not written in stone anywhere. For any of us to have
any expectations on others should act or be will always leaving us hang precariously because we don't exactly
what is appropriate for any soul.

Swami Baktananda use to slap his devotees in the head; that put them immediately into bliss, the most loving
thing anyone could do. Others might just see the slap and judge it otherwise.

He seems truly humble; unlike some of the pop New Age-y gurus out there...I just don't believe we are here to be human! Why? Being human is being encased in a flesh suit. It's being on the wheel of birth and death.

I think we came here out of delusion. We somehow think it's where it's at and it's sooo not!

He may have his followers, but there are detractors aplenty...many just aren't buying into what he's selling.

I'd love to see an end to all hate radio. I've always felt it is a cancer.

I do appreciate it. And there's definitely a following of his that love to cling tight to his fear mongering. Some have even joined DU to take us on. As I said earlier, some of his facts even are accurate. However, his forecast for this country for years now have been absolutely dire, absolutely horrifying, and absolutely hasn't happened. The extreme fear mongering is where it turns from exposing truth to just scaring the shit out of people.

Spirituality is about understanding that love/compassion is the most powerful emotion, and fear is the weakest. It is about learning which emotion we prefer to feed and become. It isn't about turning the other cheek and pretending that everything and everyone is hunky dorey when they're not. That's why Alex Jones doesn't settle well for many of us.

For those of you who support him, that's your choice and prerogative. But to come here, attack us while asking why we call his rhetoric hateful, is self explanatory, and frankly, something (like Alex Jones) I'd rather not give any more energy to.

It was nice visiting the regulars though!

I honestly don't understand why anyone listens to various idiots for any longer than it takes to change the station.

I'm constantly astonished at the people here who apparently spend hours listening to Limbaugh and O'Reilly and Beck and other such idiots.

I was simply responding to the OP to write to this man's radio station. Why even bother to listen?

However, I do keep an open mind. I also will turn on Rush for a few minutes and some of the others...I think it's good to get both sides.
