TODAY ON THE ALEX JONES SHOW
On the Wednesday, September 5 edition of the Alex Jones Show, Alex covers the attempt by the corporate media to distract attention from the purchase of 174,000 rounds of ammunition by the Social Security Administration while it ignores other government agencies buying nearly a billion and a half rounds to be used against the American people during civil unrest. Alex also talks about the chemtrail program, now costing the American people around $5 billion. Alex welcomes back to the show software freedom activist and computer programmer Richard Stallman who talks about a claim that scientists can hack the brain. He also talks about built-in trapdoors in electronics manufactured in China. Stallman pioneered the concept of copyleft and he is the main author of the GNU General Public License. Alex also talks with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and war correspondent Chris Hedges. "Revolt is all we have left. It is our only hope,” Hedges recently wrote.

Pulitzer Prize Journalist Warns of Physical Roundups Under Obama

Pulitzer prize-winning journalist and bestselling author Chris Hedges spoke with Alex Jones on Wednesday, September 5, about the threat posed by President Obama and the corporate oligarchy to the basic liberties of American citizens.

“I think one of the things we have to be clear about is that the assault on civil liberties, which began under the Bush administration, has in fact been accelerated by the Obama administration,” says Hedges, adding, “It’s worse under Obama than under Bush.”

Obama will win the election and life will go on much the same way it has the last 4 year. after that another idiot president will go to office simply because Obama cant again, and that president will be crap as well. This is a never ending trend. Oh and mind you there will be no collapse,. The reason I say this is because it doesnt just happen like that. an economy collapse over years of time. we still have a LONG way to go before we make it to the point where our whole way of life will change. LONG long way.

Chris Hedges is a man of character–an uncommon attribute in our modern dystopia.

However, I don’t think he meant to say don’t elect Obama; think he is aware that the slow dissolution of democracy is non partisan; it is an element of creeping fascism. Call it what you will–communism, colletivism, fascism, authoritarianism, et al.–Romney would be no more receptive of free speech and dissent than would Obama. Check out the battalions of riot-clad police at both national conventions (for several past events, in fact) to get a clue.

While the charade of democratic process hums along inside the vast convention arenas, outside freedom is suppressed. ‘Free speech’ zones (has there ever been a more ironic oxymoron?) are established to guard the elite and quash rights of the 99%. Relecting their minion, or like-serf of the ruling junta will change nothing. It was during the W. Bush administration that zones to ‘kettle’ the great unwashed sprung up, usually when little george made his way around the country extolling his own virtues.

Disallowing peaceful dissent will make armed revolution inevitable, to paraphrase JFK. Aware citizens know this instinctively.

Well spoken. It baffles me how the general masses can suppress that instinctive “tingle” you know they feel when strange things are afoot. I would venture to say that the instinctivity of people are being suppressed as such a younger and younger age, eventually it would not shock me if people started to become born completely void of it. Certainly I feel, television and video games and the like contribute greatly to this dismal soul-leaching decline into the mental abyss.

Alex should have asked Hedges who he voted for in 2008.

I bet he voted for Obama.

And if so, why should we listen to him ?

I have seen pretty much every video of chris on YouTube and highly doubt he voted for Obama. In January of 09 he was calling Obama a fraud. Nevertheless, i guess he can be classified as a liberal and wholeheartedly believes in global warming.

Just wait till you see what RomneyCare has in store for the American people……….successive administrations are seamless in their tyranny. A tyrant is a tyrant is a tyrant…………Bush – Obama – Romney.

Chemtrails That Don’t Exist Cost $5 Billion a Year To Produce

The cost of a massive program to spray sun-dimming particles into the upper atmosphere in the name of halting global warming, a process some contend is already underway via chemtrails, has been put at just below $5 billion dollars a year

[2012 Countdown]

Notes on Hedges interview:

1. neofeudal state is being installed.
2. poor are currently sacrifice zones, 'we' are next. Intentions are to make everyone poor.
3. NDAA case/thoughts
4. "Low level terrorism" to protest.
5. Assault of civil liberties accelerated under Obama. Cites examples. Shut down anything that challenges the official narrative.
6. The corporate state is in control, uncontested by any politician.
7. What is the elite thinking? What has happened to the ruling class? Answers.
"In the language of patriotism, these people are traitors." The older ruling elite cared about the sustananse of the nation. The new group is global, and willing to 'harvest' the nation." Cites more examples. The old robber barrons were bad enough, but the new ones emply a global corporate movement, to which we are not exempt.
8. Talks about Greece situation.
9. What type of world are they building? Answers.
10. Goldman Sachs.
11. Right calls Obama 'anti-colonialist' but this is spin and a lie. Gets into the role playing act. He (Obama) is an operative in putting in a global colonialism.
12. Becktel...water supply.
13. More on his court case.
14. Bi-partisan effort at work.
15. Talks a bit about his book, "Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt".
They are actively trying to destroy the very culture and society. The native American model is being applied to everyone.
16. 'Obamacare'- corporate plan rundown and the false spin each party plays in the puppet show.
17. NO ONE in politics will defend our basic human and citizen rights. Voting will not matter.
18. NYPD police corruption/bought off by bankers and serve as their enforcers.
19. Use the power on marginal groups first, get the gen. pop. to go along with it, then broaden it.
20. Iran talk, corporations.
21. Collapse is coming, the only question is how it will occur.

[Jerky]

Anybody else notice how Alex Jones seems to rise to the level of his guests? If all you ever saw were his interviews with Chris Hedges and Greg Palast, you'd think he was a relatively decent, if somewhat hyperbolic, media figure who "gets it" instead of a raving, froth-lipped right-wing Birther loon.

[Nordic]

Well. That cheered me right up.

[Panic Weather]

"Revolt" is a dangerous, politically-loaded word. Most people will not associate non-violence with the word "revolt."

Is Chris Hedges a student of Martin Luther King, Jr.? He doesn't seem to write or speak about MLK much.

So: The most successful social change movement in U.S. history isn't a model we should follow, according to Hedges?

Instead: REVOLT.

Alex Jones & Chris Hedges belong together. Bullhorns, riots, tantrums, us-versus-them.

MLK wrote volumes about "us-versus-them" thinking. He called out the dangers of it, even under threat of the FBI & the corrupt South.

Beware of prophets for whom non-violence is too weak.

So true. Very well put. That Hedges would choose this particular moment to shake his anti-Obama voodoo rattles on AJ is entirely consistent with his trajectory as a spook-friendly demagogue if not a fully vested spook infiltrator. It's all about vote suppression at this point so I'm not surprised to hear from him. Anyway he's about as liberal as J Edgar and his shtick got old four years ago.

p.s. Welcome Panic Weather!

"Revolt" is a dangerous, politically-loaded word. Most people will not associate non-violence with the word "revolt."

We need people whose polemic can serve move the Overton Window to a position in which non-violent rebellion, disobedience, sabotage and strike are seen as moderate, acceptable forms of public action against the grievances which are destroying the world. If Hedges wishes to perform that function, god bless his ass.

Well, it is obvious to anyone who listened to the interview, that you did not.
Not one word or thought quoted above matches what he said in the least Your uninformed knee-jerk reaction to a word and not the substance of what he himself went on to talk about shows this. Basically, you're busted. But attitude is what you have. Nonsense, but 'attitude' you got. Listen to the interview, but you clearly don't have time for that. What you have time for is talking out of your ass.. You know nothing of this man, which is also readily apparent. (oh, and yes he talks about non-violent resistence as revolt. Cites MLK, blah, blah)

[lupercal]

Whoa whoa whoa. You wrote:

Hedges made his nut demonizing Saddam in the NYT and now he does the same number on Obama. Why? To turn swing voters off and keep likely Dems home on Nov. 6 -- not to defeat Obama, which isn't going to happen, but to keep control of Congress and all those statehouses the MIC party took back in 2010 because rats like Hedges, Cockburn, Paul Street and the other obvious tools you're in the habit of posting here poured banana oil in their ears and they fell for it.

So did Hedges say what you wrote above or did he not?

[Fresno_Layshaft]

There's been a suspicious amount of Hedges backlash popping up lately. He must be doing something right.

[2012 Countdown]

Yes he said those things. I tried to jot down key points, but if in error, you can listen too!
Off memory, the bold part you did was essentially that, yes, but within a larger context. Essentially both parties are captured and it is time for civil disobedience.
But you think he is CIA, or controlled Op, and the OWS thing is too (which he supports as an example of civil disobedience and discusses that too).
So he's CIA, then. that settles that.

[vanlose kid]

that was alright, i guess. can't stand AJ "talking" over everything and 'splainin'.

this is much much better.



endorse his recommendation of a book i've rec'ed a few times on here: Demons by Dostoevsky. essential.

[Fresno_Layshaft]

Hedges made his nut demonizing Saddam in the NYT and he's now he does the same number on Obama. Why?

Because Obama actually does all of the same shit that the US gov't accused Saddam of. Assassinations- check, Torture- check, WMDs- check, Dismantling Basic rights- check, Jailing dissenters- check... need we go on?

But he's Our Prezeedent! It ain't the same!
