Alex Jones needs to move from the paranoia side of things to the real investigative journalism side of things. It's not that he is wrong, he kind of puts together the pieces of information the way he wants them to go together instead of proving that it is the truth.

Now, when you are investigating secret societies, secret government organizations, extremely wealthy people who want to stay that way, and powerful government politicians with big guns... You have to understand that it is hard to prove or gain access to this information.

The second part is figuring out what Alex Jones agenda is. I was at the inauguration, but after listening to the Alex Jones podcast of that day, you would think that we all were being controlled by the national guard/police state. He also takes the news and shapes it to fit his idea of what should be going on. And he doesn't always look at the full reality of the problems we face today. If he was in charge, I'm sure we would have a bunch of problems as well. Like he doesn't like the private Federal reserve, then he doesn't want the central government to control the banks either (calls it communism/fascism/nwo). Is he a peaceful anarchist?

However, at around 1 hour and 10 min into the movie, he and Rush are on the same page and look to be correct about the bailout bill. Jones goes a step farther and links the international banks, but there needs to be better investigative journalism from independent media agencies. Almost something like a spy agency which answers to the people that has the resources to gather intelligence and truth about what is really happening behind closed doors.

But at 1 hour and 23 minutes, he goes off on the tax increases from non-renewable energy. And that global warming isn't happening... Taxing polluting forms of energy generation sounds like a fine thing to do to me. One guy in there says that millions or billions might be killed if we limit the carbon emissions to current levels... Well, I would say that millions or billions will get killed if rivers run dry because the glaciers melt, we use up all of the water in aquifers in the midwest US, and land that used to be dry is now under water forcing people to move. And at 1 hour and 27 minutes, it is probably true that Sun spots can increase temperatures here, but what happens when a CO2 blanket won't allow the planet to cool off at night? You can see what happened in Phoenix in the past 15 years which the increased H20 level (and possibly CO2 levels as well). At night in the summer it is still really hot.

And the FEMA camps, and military control inside the USA... I don't know what to think of that. Is it a scheme to control the masses, or a prudent planning step to be prepared for problems and protect the country from outside threats.

And at 1 hour and 30 minutes they talk about 'forced' community service programs... I think they are a good thing, and will teach people about work in the real world and what is actually going on. They get the benefit of helping others and giving back to other people in their communities. If it is implemented properly, it isn't a bad thing. The previous administration should have done a lot more to get major faith-based volunteer groups together.

Now, boot-camp (military style) for 18-24 might be a bad thing. There's a lot more to the debate than the 1 minute he gave to it.

And at 1 hour and 43 min 40 sec, he actually list what he thinks the people should do, and some of it is good. It goes off the deep end when they think that Obama is going to be like Hitler, Mao, and Stalin and kill millions of our own countrymen.

The whole thing needs to be consolidated to 60-90 minutes, tone it down a little, and he should attempt to get it on PBS. But, to do that, he will need to get more proof that what he is saying is true, and not just opinion based on some guy he finds, a politicians past acquaintances, or peoples past line of work. He has to prove that the puzzle pieces go together, not that he is afraid that this is how they will go together. The thing is, 50% of it might be true, but nobody knows what 50% it is.

On a different note... Someone should really write a Star Wars style parody of this as the power grab of the empire.
