Alex Jones' Retirement Announcement Video Is As Surreal As You'd Expect It To Be

The Humble Libertarian



(THL) Alex Jones released a video Saturday announcing that he will be retiring in five years, but by the end of the video, seems to talk himself out of it. The conspiratorial and controversial InfoWars television webcast founder and host says:

"In the final equation, InfoWars and what I have done, we have changed the course of human destiny in a big way...

So I intend to continue on, I continue to try to change the world, but my dream is to be able to stop what I'm doing in the next five years or so, because you can't do this forever.

And politically I've hit the zeitgeist four times. Four times we've already changed the course of the planet. And I think it's almost bad luck to go for a fifth or a sixth time.

So it's not that I want to fight. I want the fight. But it's almost boorish, or greedy, or pig like to continue to think that–– most people don't do this one time. Well I–– four times. Four times we have changed the course of human destiny in a big way.

And I just want the fifth time to warn everybody about the tyranny and the censorship, and then step back and fade into the shadows..."

But then AJ seems to turn on a dime all of a sudden and change his mind. The ending of the monologue is strangely like a Michael Scott talking head. This guy is on a whole 'nother level:

"That's really my goal. But I got a sneaking suspicion that that's not going to happen. And I think I'm probably going to change paradigms, ten times, twenty times. No one else will do it. So I got to do it."

And he and the InfoWars team still posted it as a retirement announcement. Ladies and Gentleman, Alex Jones.

Obama keeps pushing the bipartisan religion of interventionism

Michael Scheuer is deadly accurate - foreign interventionism is a bipartisan religion (or disease, whichever you prefer). Too often, I believe, Americans think about Washington’s interventionism only as the actual physical intervention of U.S. military forces abroad in places where no U.S. interest is at risk. That activity certainly is intervention, but President Obama’s despicable decision last week to have his administration leak intelligence claiming that Israel has concluded an agreement with the government of Azerbaijan to allow its use of Azeri airfields for an air strike on Iran is just as much an unwarranted intervention by the United States government. Readers of this blog will know that I carry no brief for Israel, that I believe it is a state that is irrelevant to U.S. national interests, and one whose U.S.-citizen supporters are disloyal to America and involved in activities that compromise U.S. security and corrupt the U.S. political system. That said, Israel — l...

Ron Paul’s Devious Plan to Steal the Presidency

This is an absolute hoot! Ron Paul hating Republicans are in panic mode. The website Hillbuzz.org includes in its blogroll Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin and Conservatives4Palin. Hillbuzz is so utterly revolting that I may just have to subscribe to its updates. Up until yesterday, I really hadn’t taken the Ron Paul campaign very seriously. Most non-Paul voters probably felt like I did, and laughed him off as that “kooky Uncle” who didn’t have a chance in hell to win the Republican nomination for President. Well, I’ve changed my mind. Big time. Yesterday I attended the Republican organizational convention for my Senate district here in Minnesota, and what I witnessed was an organized take-over of our nomination process by Ron Paul cultists. They came to this convention with the sole intent to take over as many of the delegate seats as they could, and sadly, they succeeded. Read the rest here Hillbuzz 

How Thorough a Brainwashing

Saw this on Facebook: Left this comment: It's more thorough of a wash job than that. They don't just believe they are not brainwashed, the question has never occurred to them and as long as they keep reading TIME and watching MTV, it's *impossible* for the question to occur to them. Oh brave new world, that has such people in it. EDIT: And one more thing-- don't ever stop considering what questions it is currently impossible to occur to you . This is what I've been thinking about a lot lately and I'm worried just how large and numerous my own blindspots are. The only solution is to be as intellectually curious as possible. To learn voraciously. To read things that challenge us. To read things that are hard for us to understand and then try to understand them. To expose ourselves to ideas far removed from our present culture and place on the timeline. Read old books. Read foreign books. Turn off the TV. You have already absorbed its biases and blindspots. ...
