Introduction: Unmasking the Enigmatic Alex Jones
In the enigmatic realms of alternative media and conspiracy theories, few figures are as polarizing and influential as Alex Jones, the fiery host behind InfoWars. Known for his theatrical outbursts and apocalyptic prophecies, Jones has built an extensive following while stirring significant controversy with his explosive rhetoric and contentious claims. However, a closer examination suggests that Jones might be playing a more complex role than that of a mere conspiracy theorist—that of an occult mouthpiece, intricately weaving truths with deliberate absurdities to subtly inform the public of concealed agendas. This investigation delves into the sophisticated strategies Jones employs, the philosophical underpinnings of his messages, and the implications of his recent resurgence in mainstream media.
The Strategy of Revelation: Foreknowledge and Its Responsibilities
At the core of Alex Jones's approach is the concept that his declarations, far from being mere speculative rants, are calculated disclosures of significant forthcoming events, intentionally shrouded within layers of absurdity. This method mirrors certain occult practices where unveiling the truth in plain sight is believed to transfer karmic responsibility from the revealer to the audience. Dubbed "lesser magic" in mystical circles, this tactic purportedly fulfills a cosmic or moral obligation to inform, thereby neutralizing any spiritual repercussions for the bearer of the message.
Media Strategies and the Exploitation of Public Perception
Jones's method of blending verifiable facts with extreme theories exemplifies a media tactic designed to leverage the Doctrine of Acquiescence. This approach not only captivates but also confounds his audience, compelling them to decipher what might be credible amidst the outlandish, thereby becoming more susceptible to radical ideas subtly embedded within his narratives.
A Closer Look at Alex Jones's Foreknowledge of 9/11
The assertion that Alex Jones possessed foreknowledge of the September 11 attacks is one of the most unsettling and controversial aspects of his career. Months before the tragic events unfolded, Jones made startlingly specific references to the potential use of planes as weapons to target the World Trade Center. Furthermore, he later went on to insinuate that Osama Bin Laden would be framed as the perpetrator in what he ominously termed an "impending disaster." These assertions, made well in advance of the actual events of September 11, 2001, have sparked intense debate and speculation about Jones's role and possible involvement in a broader, more clandestine agenda.
Jones's statements about the 9/11 attacks are well-documented and have been a subject of scrutiny and analysis. In March 2001, on his radio show, Jones talked about the possibility of terrorist attacks involving the World Trade Center and mentioned the use of planes as potential weapons. Later, in July 2001, he specifically mentioned Osama Bin Laden as a likely scapegoat for a future attack, indicating a level of detailed knowledge that, in hindsight, seems eerily prescient.
The implications of Jones having foreknowledge of 9/11 are profound. If he did indeed possess such knowledge, it raises serious questions about how he came by this information and what his motivations might have been for disclosing it. Some have speculated that Jones may have been privy to insider information or that he may have been used as a tool to disseminate foreknowledge to the public in a way that would be dismissed as conspiracy theory.
In light of the evidence suggesting Alex Jones had foreknowledge of the September 11 attacks, the implications of his statements become more profound. While some may dismiss these assertions as mere coincidence or conspiracy theory, the specificity and timing of Jones's remarks raise legitimate questions about his potential involvement in a broader agenda. Regardless of one's interpretation, Jones's statements serve as a stark illustration of the significant influence media figures can wield in shaping public perception and potentially influencing major events. This leads us to consider the Doctrine of Acquiescence, which posits that by openly disclosing plans or foreknowledge, individuals or groups can shift moral responsibility onto the public, adding a layer of complexity to Jones's role and impact. Exploring the Doctrine of Acquiescence: Unveiling Its Occult Roots and Modern Ramifications
At the core of Alex Jones's broadcasting methodology lies the Doctrine of Acquiescence, a concept deeply rooted in esoteric traditions and philosophies. This doctrine suggests that by openly disclosing intentions or foreknowledge, individuals or groups can absolve themselves of any spiritual or moral consequences associated with these events. Rooted in the belief that enlightenment comes from revealing hidden truths, the doctrine asserts that once these truths are disclosed—albeit obscured by absurdity or complexity—the responsibility to act or oppose the plans falls upon those who have been informed.
The Occult Origins of the Doctrine
The Doctrine of Acquiescence finds its origins in various occult and mystical traditions, where the revelation of hidden knowledge is seen as a path to spiritual enlightenment. In these traditions, the disclosure of secrets is often considered a form of liberation, freeing the revealer from the burdens of secrecy and transferring the responsibility to act onto those who receive the knowledge. This concept is akin to the occult principle of "lesser magic," where truths are hidden in plain sight, allowing the enlightened to fulfill their obligation to inform while avoiding direct responsibility for the consequences.
Implications for Societal Control
From a societal perspective, the Doctrine of Acquiescence has profound implications for governance and control. It suggests that the elite, or those in possession of "hidden knowledge," can manipulate the masses by revealing their plans in ways that are either dismissed as conspiracy theories or too complex for the general public to comprehend. This manipulation of consent relies on the belief that the masses' non-reaction or passive acceptance of these disclosures constitutes tacit consent to the elite's agendas, effectively absolving them of moral responsibility.
Cultural and Psychological Impact
The doctrine also has significant cultural and psychological implications. By conditioning audiences to receive controversial or harmful plans through a filter of absurdity or hyperbole, the doctrine lowers societal defenses against manipulation. This psychological conditioning can lead to a state of cognitive dissonance, where individuals ignore or rationalize information that conflicts with the established narrative. In this way, the doctrine exploits human tendencies to conform to majority behaviors and dismiss outlier information, furthering its impact on societal norms and individual psychology.
Jones's Exploitation of the Doctrine
Alex Jones's broadcasting tactics exemplify the exploitation of the Doctrine of Acquiescence. By blending absurdity with factual elements, Jones creates a narrative that captures attention and forces the audience to engage in a mental sorting game. This tactic desensitizes viewers to the absurdity, making them more accepting of radical ideas and hidden agendas. Jones's role as a mouthpiece for the occult, whether intentional or not, highlights the power of media figures to shape public perception and influence events by exploiting esoteric principles rooted in the Doctrine of Acquiescence.
Mainstream Reintegration and Its Implications
Following years on the fringes due to widespread deplatforming, Jones has recently witnessed a resurgence into mainstream relevance, notably marked by endorsements from figures like Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson, who have proclaimed him a "prophet" on prominent platforms such as the Joe Rogan Podcast. This rebranding appears orchestrated by the same entities purportedly behind Jones, aiming to utilize his platform for broader narrative control, allowing him to prepare or desensitize the public to orchestrated events or ideologies. This strategic reintegration into the mainstream is not just a revival of Jones's media presence; it represents a calculated move to realign and harness his influence for broader narrative purposes.
The Shift in Public Perception and Narrative Control
The endorsement of Alex Jones by mainstream media figures has profound implications for public discourse. It effectively broadens his reach and lends credibility to views that were once marginalized, thereby shifting the Overton window—the range of policies and ideas the public is prepared to accept as normal. This shift is not merely about changing public opinion but about reshaping the informational landscape in which that opinion forms. By repositioning Jones from the fringe to a more central role in media dialogue, his narratives and predictions gain new weight, potentially guiding public perception and acceptance of future narratives.
Analyzing the Psychological Warfare
The strategic deployment of media personalities like Alex Jones for narrative control can be understood as a form of psychological warfare, where the primary battleground is the collective psyche of the public. Jones's rhetoric, intricately intertwined with the Doctrine of Acquiescence, serves a dual purpose: to condition audiences to anticipate and accept a predetermined agenda, and to desensitize them to potentially controversial or disruptive ideas.
At its core, this technique, often referred to as predictive programming, plays a pivotal role in societal engineering. By subtly implanting specific ideas or scenarios in the public consciousness, Jones and others like him can prepare the population for future events or changes in a way that minimizes resistance. For instance, by repeatedly discussing the possibility of a financial crisis, Jones may be priming his audience to accept such an event as inevitable, thereby reducing the shock and outrage that might otherwise occur.
Moreover, by forecasting calamities or dramatic societal changes, Jones can shape public perceptions and reactions in advance, further solidifying his influence over his audience. This manipulation of public opinion underscores the immense power that media figures wield and highlights the importance of media literacy and critical thinking in today's information age.
The utilization of media for psychological warfare is a complex and ethically challenging practice that raises profound questions about the nature of media influence and the role of media in shaping public opinion. As such, it is essential for individuals to approach media consumption with a critical eye and to be aware of the potential agendas at play behind the information they are presented with.
Sarcasm noted.
I cannot say for you, but two of my (different) browsers work fine with this link.
Here's a screenshot, lest you doubt me. https://files.catbox.moe/4bioac.PNG
Perhaps you copied or used the link incorrectly.
I never felt shocked or beaten when r/GreatAwakening went down. It was clear that we'd been growing massively, and that we would likely continue to do so. But that's just me.
I didn't feel bad when VOAT when down, more a bit confused and certainly concerned about how to keep contact with the community. Finding GAW was a godsend.
If you're feeling nostalgic, you might like to try poking around here:

Dude, I was not being sarcastic at all. I saved your reply even. I genuinely appreciated it. Link didn't work on my desktop but it works on my phone. Thank you. Yes, GAW has been a godsend.
Fren, I kind of jumped out on a limb there, given the juxtaposition of the Bravo and the Link Doesn't Work duality.
I'm so happy it was NOT the case, and that you were in fact NOT being sarcastic. Aside from feeling moderately dumb (for reading into text something that wasn't there), I'm stoked.
Anyway, great. Hope you're able to explore some of the archived stuff. I had a quick peruse, and boy, does that bring back some memories. Seems like yesterday, but also centuries ago. AND a lot of stuff there that would help to augment stuff we discuss here, imo.
For example, i saw one post proclaiming that "Qanon" was the number 4 search item on the Google index. Some people think that "Qanon" was a media creation or a DS psyop, but too many of us know that in fact, in the beginning it was a powerful instrument that anons created and used to gather and spread, and the that psyop was the DS propaganda arm hijacking it, making it necessary at that point for Q to draw the distinction between Q and anons.
Direct evidence of this historical fact in that one post on r/GA.
Be well, Chuck!
I appreciate you bringing up the "Qanon" controversy. You tell the story accurately. Neon Revolt (love him or hate him) wrote one of the earliest books on Q and "QAnon" is in the subtitle: "Revolution Q: The Story of QAnon and the Second American Revolution". Whether people love him or hate him, nobody can deny he was one of the very early anons writing about Q, so it's noteworthy that he was using the term. I really appreciated his early decode articles. And he was a good enough communicator in his writing that I was willing to overlook his drama queen tendencies. Until I wasn't.
For years I have argued that the best antidote to words used to disparage people is for the people on the receiving end to take those words back. A good, if controversial, example is black people using the n-word. They're taking the word back. Now I'm happy to see women (like JK Rowling) rubbing the acronym TERF (trans exclusionary radical feminist) in the faces of haters by using the hashtag #TERFswereright and making t-shirts that say "Tired of Explaining Reality to Fools".
We're also seeing the "conspiracy theorist" term getting turned back on the CIA initiators of that pejorative. The pendulum took a long time to swing on that one, but now it's a badge of honor to be called a "conspiracy theorist." It's new meaning is someone who sniffed out the reality of the situation ahead of the 'woke' herd.
I think we'll see that happen with "QAnon" someday too maybe. Anything the mockingbird media has co-opted and corrupted is going to get thrown back in their mockingbird faces.
I hear you on the nostalgia of the early Q community stuff. It does seem so recent and yet so long ago. I'm sure the latter is a function of how much we all had to learn in that fairly short time--our entire perception of reality was shattered and has had to be rebuilt via actual effort to dig out the truth of what we thought we knew. A lot of work and we still have so much work on that left to do. But I'll take it happily! I want a world where the truth is findable for all who dig to uncover it instead of hidden by the darkness. What a time to be alive! Thank you again, anon. Blessings to you and yours.
Likewise, Chuck.
