And I thought Glenn Beck was a nut job

[Donkey]

Just surfing around and found this guy Alex Jones who is some nut case conspiracy theorist, amazing as it might sound he makes Glenn Beck look like a reasonable, thoughtful debater. Outside of the fact he claims the Boston bombings were somehow staged by the FBI, he also says that Russian troops are hiding in Canada waiting to invade the US. Well comrades, I only have one thing to say about that...

сопротивление бесполезно

Edgar,

you're right: resistance is futile.  ::)

Yeah, you have to watch these conspiracy theorists, there were some idiots that said Saddam had WMDs and since it worked so well in Iraq they are saying it about Assad too.

[jj2007]

since it worked so well in Iraq they are saying it about Assad too.

And it's 100% true, of course, that's why we are sending stronger and stronger weapons to our friends so that they can defend the Syrian people against the evil coalition of Shiites, Alawites, Druses and Christians led by Assad 8)

Heh, I thought you said Alan Jones (hutch will know who that is).

Yeah, i do know who Alan Jones is but thank God I have never listened to him.

Crikey Dave, don't you have anything else to do? That was painful.

Alex Jones is a nut job that has been around for years. He gained a lot of followers after the 911 incident with the 911 truthers. The modern mythology he builds off from is based on the concept of the mark of the beast, 666. This used to be a major theme in US belief systems and even Social Security numbers were controversial at the time they were implemented for that reason. The idea is that for these Biblical prophesies to come about the US constitution must be subverted and the best way to do that is through terrorism so that people will trade freedom for security. Thirty or forty years ago a lot of laws on the books now would have been unthinkable.

As far as defending our freedom I think Jones is the worst sort of activist. Listening to this nut job makes it seem OK to overlook, by association, a lot of our constitutional protections that place quiet valid limits on our government. Alex Jones is his own worst enemy.

Is this guy the 'Steve Erwin' of electronics..

I have to apologise to Steve Irwin's memory... for even remotely linking him to this Dave Jones..
I managed to get my PC sound working again....and I went through the whole video again.

God.. what a Pratt!!..' Deeckhead' is too kind a word ?

[dedndave]

lol @ Steve Irwin of electronics

i can just see him, poking an angry high-voltage circuit widda stick   

[K_F]

Dave Jones: Look at this Van... a real HIGH VOLTAGE WIRE.. doesn't it look AWESOME..

Van: Sure does Dave... why don't you poke it to see if it's alive.

Dave Jones: DEFINITELY a good idea Van.. all we need it a nice long stick..

Van: Nah!.. don't bother with that.. just use this copper rod.. a bit heavy but the weight helps

Dave Jones: Thanks Van.. NOW ladies and gents.. WATCH carefully and I prod this BEASTY into life

ZZZOTTTTTTTTT!! >>>>>>.....

Van: Way to go Dave.. Ladies and Gents - The first self propelled human into orbit.. pretty great wasn't it :)

Years ago, I knew a guy that lost an arm that way. The “stick” in his case was an antenna.

[K_F]

Ja.. it's dangerous stuff.!!

I've always found that electrical/electronics is actually physics (which it is, but people tend to forget).. the more you think about it along those lines.. the longer you'll live  ;)
