Roseanne has always been mentally "unwell." She was institutionalized as a child and while standards and medicine have changed, I'm sure the "cures" just made her issues worse. The alcohol abuse is definitely not helping though.

Sure but listening to her in this most recent KF, she is really sounding rough these days.

Hard to say about actual damage. I'd want to hear her sober first, she was pretty thoroughly sloshed for dealing with good old Jones.

His rhetoric on the show isn't much worse than anything Alex has said past or present, but Dan talks about what he did after 2004, and uh, it's not good. If you need to avoid for your peace of mind, I would, you won't miss much

I'm currently listening to the episode about the documentary on Alex Alex's War.

I just read about how the producer was trying to get Alex to do it by laying it as a win against his enemies and pure propaganda.

Did that doc do well? I know the point was to infect ppl putside of his orbit with his bullshit.

RE: the anti-abortion activist in #787: January 23, 2004:

It's regarding Operation Rescue/Operation Rescue West who got all up in arms about getting charged with a misdemeanor for their "Truth Truck" with anti-abortion pictures on it (you know the ones) in a place that had banned moving billboards and was later dropped. The guest is Troy Newman, who took over in 1999. The organization has a direct connection to the murder of George Tiller in 2009 and had been definitely encouraging stochastic terrorism in that regard since at least 1991. Tiller's clinic was first firebombed in 1986, the year Operation Rescue was founded.

quote:

When Scott Roeder, who murdered Tiller in 2009, was interviewed by Amanda Robb of Ms. magazine, Roeder said he had met Newman and discussed using violence to stop abortion; "something like if an abortionist—I don't even know if it was specifically Tiller …was shot, would it be justified?… And [Newman] said, "If it were, it wouldn't upset me." Roeder owned a hand-signed copy of Newman's 2000 book.

There is a very small and funny silver lining:

quote:

On September 29, 2015, Newman had his Australian visa canceled by Immigration Minister Peter Dutton. Newman was due to speak at a number of anti-abortion events across Australia throughout October. Newman defied Australian authorities and entered the country without a valid visa. This caused him to be detained upon arrival and held at the Maribyrnong Immigration Detention Centre. On October 3, a High Court bid to overturn the cancelling of his visa was rejected, and Newman was deported back to the United States. Newman abandoned a bid to challenge the ruling.

Rosanne: "I wrote that book [Rosannarchy] ... where I talk about how to deprogram kids from that Harry Potter bullshit and went on Oprah and sucked her rear end and it only sold 5000 copies"

...what

Rosanne: "I wanted to say that the real reason that Satan was invented, is because in the upper court of God, guess who the prosecuting attorney turns out to be? .......SATAN!!"

Jordan: "Get the poo poo out of here."

They were both really quick to bust out the booze and start celebrating. I didn't get the vibe in this specific interview that she was having any kind of brain damage or whatever, she just came off as pretty deep in a bottle right from the start and going deeper throughout.

She was not bad in the 90s, and her show was surprisingly good. I think now this is more just the pineapple plantation lifestyle allowing her to take it easy.

Real, real easy.

In a very niche example of why Dan is the researcher and Jordan isn't :

Bluegrass actually has a shitload of jazz influence in it and has from the start, and it's a well the genre's been going back to forever. To the point that acoustic jazz musicians and bluegrass musicians are often the same people.

Like this is a hundred year old bluegrass standard you're just expected to know : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4POsZ4KHYU

Sounded like Metropolis to me. But if so, they're totally missing the point of the Mammon stuff since that that was about sacrificing workers to the machine of capitalism/progress. Alex is an olympic-level misunderstander of fiction though so who knows.

edit: i guess that was moloch, which has the boheman-grove connection anyway.

I'd imagine the hard part of modern day Alex is looking for all the times when he inevitably starts telling on himself about all the bankruptcy fraud he's currently committing. That's the stuff one wants to look for, but you have to wade through so much muck to find it.

Yeah, it was awful. I spent the episode just constantly muttering "go gently caress yourself Alex" to myself.

especially during the Blair White discussion where Alex was totally fine with her being trans. Obviously because of her ticking the "she's one of the good ones" box for Alex, but also because she's hot and "passes"

Side note: a friend of mine was saying recently how they had a brother who was talking a bunch about Klaus Schwab and of course it's impossible for me to hear that name in any voice but Alex Joneses. I don't even know who Klaus Schwab is really, just that he's catnip for the conspiracy set. When did Alex start focusing so hard on him?
