The best way to view (not just Alex Jones, but any of these people who are endlessly debated by their fans and detractors page after page), is the advice my old pastor gave at the end of every sermon: Remember,
Seek out only the Good, and leave the rest behind.
There is a lot of good that AJ has woken people up to over the years. There is also a lot of silliness (Chicoms, Arabs run Hollywood, etc.). People love to endlessly debate whether public figures are controlled or just have a really bad blind spot. (I'm also guilty of this by the way, as I have a hard time seeing how someone as "smart" (assuming he is actually smart, of which there is little evidence) as Elon Musk, can also be so dumb/clueless on issues).
The answer is we can never know, but in my experience, there is NO ONE who seems to be beyond criticism (Andrew Anglin is probably the person who is right on the most issues of any voice I know, but he is basically an alcoholic and is pretty extreme on the woman question (I don't mind people who are more extreme than me--that actually helps me settle in to a reasonable position on things)).
So it doesn't really matter if David Icke means literal lizard people from another planet (seems unlikely) or using a euphemism for Jews (it seems obvious he is smart enough to know you cannot name them), or whether Alex Jones cannot or will not tell the truth about one issue (Jews are really THE most important issue, so I do get the criticism about him on this point, and basically whatever things in the world you don't like, Jews are invariably behind it). The point is, you take the knowledge / inspiration / wisdom from someone and forget the rest.
Otherwise you get into these debates where people are naturally drawn to different topics and argue about who they "like" or "distrust." Some people just don't care about 911 you know? Those kinds of people may not like AJ but maybe they care about another topic that Scott Ritter or Kanye or even Jordan Peterson discuss and there is some truth from all of them. I remember first discovering as a teenager about the JFK assassination and being surprised when people didn't care to discuss the 1963 American coup. But people just like (and dislike) different things. I look at the Scott Ritter sexual stuff and just kind of shrug my shoulders like, what else do you expect from this society? But I was also exposed to a lot of degenerate sexual PUA stuff and I'm like yeah that seems about normal in 2023 Weimerica.
Got it wrong?
The GAE has been foaming at the mouth to destroy Iran for decades. Remember, America overthrew their democratically elected government and installed an autocracy (that's just the values of the Rules Based Order, Goy.
Iran was a prosperous, peaceful, white-presenting democracy until the US came in and destroyed them through assassination and subversion. Always remember this when people say "Israel is the only democracy in the mideast."
Anyway, destroying Iran and Russia are the two biggest goals of the GAE, and have been for decades. In the early days of the Russia-Ukraine conflict I was worried, due to all the American propaganda, that Russia was going to fail and the world would likely enter a dark ages, as we did several hundred years ago. Putin is truly the savior of Western Civilization on this point alone. But listen to Lindsey Graham or Turtleface McConnell or Condoleeza Rice or Victoria Nuland and they make it clear that destroying Iran and Russia are their primary focus (far higher than doing anything for the American people).
Then there was the Stuxnet operation where we sabotaged their research, and blew up a lot of their equipment, and the murder of General Soleimani when he was a guest of Iraq, and I would also throw in all the Israeli assassinations of Iranians because if anyone else acted that way (Russia lol), the US would go nuts. Any one of these would be an act of war, but of course Iran doesn't have nukes (yet; fingers crossed), and are not going to start a war with a nuclear power if they can help it.
In fact, many pundits believe that
if Hillary Clinton were elected instead of Trump, we would have had war with Iran, and this is probably the best facet of Trump's election by far. I don't know who Ritter supported in the last election, but it seems likely he was warning voters against this possibility.
Or just listen to Wesley Clark himself. Remember the 7 countries targeted for American invasion?
The point of all these people warning us is not so they can come out like a minstrel later and say "woo hoo look at me lah lah lah lah I'm a psychic crystal ball fortune teller." The point of the warning is to PREVENT war with Iran, and therefore Ritter and anyone else warning of this should be CONGRATULATED ON THEIR SUCCESS.
A lot of the things Alex Jones has warned us about never came to be. Remember, the Obama regime's plan for invasion of Syria? That wasn't a "wrong call"--instead AJ deserves a lot of credit, and he may have singlehandedly prevented the invasion of Syria, as he helped organize active troops taking anonymous photos covering their face but with messages stating "I will not risk my life fighting peaceful Syrians for Israel" and posting that to social media.
The logic here is that because an honorable man who humbly took up the calling to become a leader among his people, opposed the invasion of degenerate Godless invaders and was cowardly and illegally murdered (black letter law clearly states it is illegal for a commander in chief to assassinate foreign leaders in this way, more proof that the DemonRats could have legitmately impeached Trump if any of this stuff was real) we should celebrate his murder? A man, by the way, who was instrumental in fighting ISIS in the early days of the war on terror?
For the record, the Iranian regime is the only "good" force in the whole region, outside I suppose the Taliban, who just want to be left alone to do their own thing. If the US wants to pick sides (we should not be picking sides, we have WAY too many problems at home and even if we didn't we are not the masters of the universe), they should throw in with Iran and Afghanistan and sanction every other country there (Saddam- era Iraq and Qadaffi-era Libya were ok but today those countries are also disasters).
I'm a pretty hard core white pride kind of guy, but even I draw the line at "Oh yeah some white people were over there immorrally harassing and bombing and murdering some brown people but I'm gonna cheer them on because of their race." The American mideast adventurism is pure evil, period, and I don't support anyone over there murdering, stealing, bombing, raping, or torturing, no matter how pure their Bavarian Phenotype is.
And blacks are greatly overrepresented in the American military, not that it makes their actions any more or less acceptable.
General Soleimani is probably the last honorable figure I can think of in the mideast (precisely why he was murdered by cowardly snarky Judeans who dropped bombs on him while he was a guest of the Iraqi government, an act of war, to say nothing of its immorality). He was often filmed consoling injured or orphaned Iranian kids, not at all the type of Ivory Tower general that is the norm today, and was a Godly and compassionate man. Here is a letter he penned to his daughter, to be read in case of his death in the cause of serving God and his people.

The US is not a force for good anywhere in the world. Not even at home.
I often wonder if I would support an American Empire in the way I would have supported any of the first three Reichs / Empires, as positive forces in the world, and my imagination just isn't that powerful. I honestly don't know.
