This Alex Jones thing needs some explaining with so many new eyes here. If things are indeed winding down...we need to ensure this 5 year meme is put on record for all to understand. Alex Jones is a meme. Dont get me wrong, Alex Jones is a patriot and a lot of times...he is indeed right or at the very least, somewhat correct in the larger message (globalism). The guy deals with the same subversive media and censorship we do. However a lot of times...hes dabbling in some very wide ranging conspiracies for entertainment purposes since hes pretty much the authority within that market. That market can lead to unspoken truths....but also leads to some very schizo theories that are essentially thought exercises and nothing else.
Alex Jones gained presence within 4chan and ultimately TD as a meme because it made progressives seethe. Our backdrop was everyone calling us crazy for supporting and trying to meme an orange reality tv star into the Presidency. We recognized it was a little crazy objectively speaking... but we also recognized that we were actually the sane ones. The ones not playing the rigged political game like usual. So we memed their serious toned finger wagging with some real crazy. A man who constantly breaths hot fire and rants about gay frogs and pot bellied goblins...it was the perfect inside joke that resulted in some extremely poor and disconnected takes from the left that made us laugh.
Long story short....my point is that AJ is not ALWAYS right. Thats a very loaded statement to endorse. However...Bill Clinton is a rapist.
AJ loves hyperbole and memes, it's part of what makes him entertaining. The guy even shares the remixes that were made of him with his kids and his audience.
The whole politicians are bloodsucking vampires and interdimensional demons thing is clearly for entertainment - the true part is that they're dealing in the illegal organ trade (thanks China) and there are many pedos among their ranks (again I don't get how this is in dispute when the house of lords in the UK and the upper echelons of the Belgian government were both known to be harboring those types by the public for years now. Ofc nothing much gets done anywhere because the west is corrupt, a few token sacrifices/arrests then business as usual).
I mean, I studied stem and back when he brought up the gay frogs things with the pesticides it was like .... well fuck he's telling the truth, it was being discussed at the time. It's not 1 to 1 with the way it sounds, but the gist of it is correct, pesticides are fucking with frogs and making them flip sex (which they normally only do in times of need) + confusing them so they're literally having orgies without producing any offspring (since frog mating is chemical-based, not like humans were it's body chemistry AND other factors).
Yeah some of the mathematics he tried to put out were idiotic, but he was on the right track with data he had, and he is definitely doing a better job than most anyone else at the moment. He just didn't have the expertise to analyze his data correctly (and yes I know he goes on and on self aggrandizing himself, but he really is pretty clueless when it comes to real statistics).
If you watched the followup videos he explained why comparing percents is okay when you are looking for patterns. That makes sense to me because a correlation may not be linear and constant, and could be more visible with axes that are nonlinear. He went on to show a normal, hand-counted county with a curved arc that I had already reasoned should be the case based on the percent-gap between straight ticket and split actually measuring the size of the center which would be less at the extremes.
So I don't think he's pretty clueless. What he is bad at is communication where he could have explained this aspect in 2 minutes in the first video, but spent 15 minutes trying to talk down. He's also a native born Indian and after working with many of them in computers, they tend toward this self-aggrandizing claims even when they are ridiculous like "inventing E-MAIL (tm)".

He isn't any more of a meme that any mainstream network

Very good assessment though in the 2016 election he ended up being about 95% right.
Which was scary in its implications
Infowars dot com!
AJ is a schizo until he's proven right. Which it keeps coming out that even his crazier shit is so.
AJ is very rarely proven wrong.
Don't let the difficulty in affirming his claims lead you to believe he is mostly wrong
