Just how crazy is Alex Jones?

Might be a danger to himself or others, crazy.

Alex Jones: My Critics Just Want A Spot In The Global Elites' Off-World Colonies

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 1/13/2016 11:00 am

The jig is up! InfoWars broadcaster Alex Jones has finally uncovered the real reason groups like Right Wing Watch and Media Matters have been writing about his insane conspiracy theories, and as you have probably already guessed, it’s in order to acquire secret “life-extension technology” and room in the “off-world colonies” that the global elites are creating. Jones, who has previously warned that liberals are “demonic villains” who are “going to kill everybody,” went on to refer to RWW and Media Matters employees as “pieces of crap” and “idiots.” We just hope that Jones doesn’t tell Donald Trump, who has touted Jones’ “amazing” reputation, about our plans.

No evidence that he believes anything he says.

back in the mid 90's I had worked at the local public access station where he broadcasted his ravings.

when I first started, one of the guys there told me to give "that guy alex a wide birth".

watching his show, we could count on one hand the amount of times he would blink. he was so jacked up on coffee it was weird.

but when he wasn't on air, he was equally as crazy. he would talk in this non-stop stream of consciousness that was stupidity incarnate. it really was something to behold. I think motormouth comes to mind.

I was there one night and he, before going on air, went on a tirade over how someone stole his lunch. ranting and raving to no end, when he finally discovered it in his duffle bag, he then went on to accuse and blame someone for planting it there to make him look stupid.

then as now, I honestly believe his is psychotic and very very very paranoid. Like needs to be committed paranoid.

after a while, no one paid him any attention and he would just accuse everyone for being against him and only he knew "the truth".

dangerous? naa, except, maybe only to himself.

just another crazy snake oil salesmen who gets his jollies when morons stroke his very massive and equally misplaced ego.

...time when I kept running into his stuff while doing 9/11 research. It was so bizarre that it drew me in for quite awhile and I was mostly entertained at his rantings while knowing it was complete spewage. After awhile, I stopped paying him any attention. That was around the time that dude flew the plane into the building there in Austin and within seconds, literally, he fabricated a false-flag conspiracy involving the IRS or some such and immediately threw his cast of idiots into the resulting fray of the plane crash principals and investigation, as if he were a legitimate news service.

I gently tried to let him know that jones was completely certifiable.

but he would have none of it. he was in his late teens and early twenties and was going through his libertarian/ everything is a conspiracy phase.

eventually he grew out of it like most thinking human beings LOL

Thanks to the interwebs, a nut who should be relegated to am talk radio out of some shed in Texas has a huge audience, regardless quality of the content of his show.

Yes, he's a danger to himself and others.

14. Psychological operations do, in fact, work. Some mental health professionals do, in fact, torture.

More people died from prescription drug overdoses than automobile accidents last year.

Many dissidents, investigative journalists, whistle blowers were, in fact, "neutralized" by the full-spectrum of options available to the shadow government, Archae-which does, in fact exist. If tptb want to make a targeted individual talk to shape shifting clones of Queen Elizabeth/GHW Bush while they are eating babies--that is simple compared to the truth in the link below, a real evil conspiracy.
