An Alex Jones Primer
Alex Jones is probably the foremost shotgun documentarian in the world today: he throws everything at you, all at once. This makes for an interesting watch - but also a frustrating watch. Because, at the end of the day, even a conspiracy buff needs to be able to distinguish what's important, even fearful, from what's merely trivial. Now he may well be suggesting that all these things are intricately inter-related; and that you need to be aware of all of them to make sense of any of them. But he doesn't really say so; it's only their proximity in his documentaries that infers a connection. So while it's certainly interesting to learn all about the so-called "Secret Societies" that supposedly control those who run real societies as if they were merely pawns in some great international conspiracy aimed at bringing about a one-world government, it's doubtful if these Societies have anywhere near as great an impact on the day to day business of running the nations of the world as Mr Jones would suggest. And, unless you happen to believe the biblical Armageddon myth, the idea of a one-world government may not be as bad as Mr Jones clearly thinks it would. The world might even be a better place without the dozens of nation-states all competing with one another for supremacy.
Another thing you quickly discern from any Alex Jones documentary is his obsession with some sinister, all-powerful entity which threatens to turn the entire world into a slave state - or, as he might put it, a "Prison Planet." In his "Endgame" it was the Bilderberg Group; in his "Martial Law: Rise of the Police State" it is the Illuminati - specifically as manifested through something called Bohemian Grove. This Bohemian Grove, however, is not an organization so much as it is a place around which an all-men's club bearing its name sprung up - a physical location in California where an annual event takes place by invitation only. This club was founded, not by the world's elite, but by artists and musicians, mostly from San Francisco. If you read about it in Wikipedia, it sounds more like a Boy Scout camp than a gathering of those intent on taking over the world. Since his primary focus in this documentary is the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York, a link between this men's club and the policing of New York streets is inferred - never stated, only inferred. So while it does look as if New York had indeed become a Police State during the Convention, just as Jones indicates, it pales in comparison to the streets of Chicago during the 1968 Democratic National Convention.
This brings up a third characteristic of any Alex Jones documentary. While there's a dizzying array of evidence presented, none of it, individually or all together, leads to the conclusions he draws. He never quite manages to piece it all together in a way to lead inescapably to his conclusion; it requires a leap of faith of get from the body of his documentary to its conclusion. And along the way to that conclusion, he throws out interesting tid-bits of conjecture without the slightest evidence to back it up. He says, for instance, that Communism was concocted and set into motion by international bankers in order to send the world's workers on a wild goose chase; and that Arnold Schwarzenegger, besides being implicated in the Bohemian Grove conspiracy, has his sights on ruling the world - which makes him the darling of the Illuminati; and that because filmmaker Michael Moore failed to ask the tough questions about "911," he is a dupe of the establishment. And, finally, he indulges in the most reckless type of conclusion any documentarian can draw: guilt by association. He rattles off a list of the politicians who have visited Bohemian Grove, as if this somehow proves that they're lackeys for the Illuminati; but all it implies is that people in positions of power attend almost any kind of function if it can further their careers.
If Alex Jones were not so spot-on with so many of his ideas - such as the on-going threat to our Constitution from the virtual corporate take-over of our government, or the likelihood that "911" was an inside job, or the very real danger from an unregulated banking system, or the foolishness of a manufactured "left/right" paradigm - you could simply dismiss him as a "crack-pot." But, as it is, he has a great deal to say that people would do well to listen to - which makes his more esoteric ideas so maddening. Best advice to him: lose the Illuminati, the Bilderbergs and all the other Secret Societies out to take over the world - and, most of all, lose the unsubstantiated conclusions; and concentrate on what he does best - reporting. Because, when all is said and done, Alex Jones is one of the best reporters in America today. He always manages to get the story; he just doesn't always get it right.
