I’ve been through all the forums during the last 3 months and have come to respect the posters on M4Carbine.net over any others. I bought my first EBR, a Noveske 16" midlength, due in large part to the opinions I found here. The level of discourse here is far superior to anything else I’ve seen in similar arenas…
That being said I, merely by chance, came across a few posts concerning Alex Jones (I won’t bother listing his media outlets). The immediate, unquestioned, and unarticulated slams I read are very close to those I hear from the bottom-of-the-barrel, low-level thinking people I encounter in my every day life.
Alex Jones is a hard pill to swallow. It has taken me years to come around to the point of being able to even stomach much of the information he puts into the discussion. I have come know that most of what he puts out is fact driven, usually just media sources and FOIA material. Truth or not, it is still fact.
His opinions on the information he puts out and the analysis he comes up with is his own and is subject to the scrutiny of us all. However, when a man keeps fighting against what he fears is a domestically based, outright enemy of all free people of the UNITED STATES for all of his adult life (he’s around 33 or 34 years old and has been at it for 15 plus years) it’s a shame to me when he’s merely dismissed as a “whacko”, “psycho-talker”, whatever. We hear that type of rhetoric used all day by media figures and others who just try to minimize and silence those opinions. Those people know that people generally fear being associated with others who may be seen as undesirable. It’s easy and it’s quick, but it gets nobody any closer to discussion, wisdom, or the ablility to react.
I suspect many of the posters here are current or ex-military. I am neither. I also suspect that anyone who is part of an organization takes unkindly to others who question the righteousness of the organization or its members. I have listened to Alex Jones bring to the air all types of dire information concerning the Federal government, state & local governments, international government/financial institutions and the military; relating it to his analysis of the government/military/industrial complex and the unnatural control placed into the hands of, or seized by, individuals outright. He, as well as myself, and I guess most of you reading this also have your own concerns over the “state of things”. We live in very dangerous times, never moreso than the present, I believe. In my opinion, just as much as we NEED, and I mean need, our men and women to be warriors…WE NEED men like Alex Jones to help clear the very dirty and unquestionably controlled air.
This is my first post, if it gets me kicked off this site…I guess I’ve said…
