This is great. Thanks for the heads up. Very much like a Project Camelot episode. Jordan is arguably the least annoying and least loud somehow, though. There's some audio leveling that didn't happen.

So is it worth listening to or...

I mean, "Jordan is the least annoying" is definitely saying something, I'm just not sure what.

I enjoyed it. Not sure what you mean by "worth", though. There were some good yuks about some caller who believes in some weird alien poo poo and Jordan and the other guys have a fun time. But if you don't care much for project Camelot style episodes you can skip it.

I've listened to a handful now. It's okay. They're not very funny and there's no deep analysis, I listened to a Richard Hoagland ep and that's a rabbit hole they didn't get much into. The clips of Coast to Coast are fun so if a best of collection with some light commentary sounds okay, give it a shot. The Noory open lines episode that isn't too far into the back catalogue is a good one. It's no Knowledge Fight, unfortunately.

Did you think it was a good use of your time to listen to, or after listening to it did you go "oh god I'm never listening to this again", basically. Considering this is the KF thread, I'll say "If I'm a fan of KF, would I probably enjoy this podcast as well?"

Not going to listen to more Coast to coast am, if that's what you meant, but I like Jordan so I was here for the one episode. The alien conspiracy was fun and cooky and the C2CAM guys had a nice rapport. They apparently made the show around the KF model where one guy clips the show and they react to the silly stuff. Stakes are way lower than Alex's show. There's a good amount of KF backstory and Alex trial recap at the start which mayfeel skippable.

Alex Jones believes being a ‘man!’ means using coercion to force everyone around you to coddle you like a giant baby, so he is blind to the altruistic motivations of others. Showing care for others unprompted is fundamentally suspicious and can only have an ulterior Satanic motive.

Whenever I hear Alex go off about what he thinks the globalists are doing I think about from the part of the Satanic Panic episode of Behind The Bastards where Robert Evans points out that imagined crimes conspiracists accuse pedophilic satanic cults of aren't just completely removed from the realities of child abuse, they're the ugliest things imaginable. Way uglier than any actual child abuse. It's always completely hyperbolic violence porn. Alex ranting about sacrificing children to Moloch, about how the globalists want to bash in children's brains with hammers, about the fish-human hybrids with sad crying eyes, about how they slice off children's genitals during drag queen story time, it all says so much more about him and how he thinks than it does anything else.

I also think about how he played the video of the Nashville shooter getting killed by the cops maybe six times during his broadcast.

Alex is absolutely positive that anyone who opposes him is a wild eyed satanist and the worse the things he can imagine they are up to, the more he is convinced about his holy crusade

It is almost as if his holy crusade against the devil and the left is a self fulfilling prophecy

I know it's Alex Jones and this is Knowledge Fight and all, but it is still genuinely uncomfortable to hear Alex Jones when he gets in to one of those slobbering rants about what someone else is doing. Sounds like he's yelling about it one-handed with the other occupied under his desk or something.

That whole “I’ll shove a foot long, doubled edged knife up your rear end” thing a stupid, belligerent teenage boy would say. It’s got that right mix of homophobia, sexualized violence, and body horror. His brain got stuck at 16 during one his many childhood concussions.

He offends my own sense of dignity as a grown rear end man.

I actually disagree with the whole "doing it one-handed" thing in this instance, because the moment he ran out of broadcast time, he turned it off immediately. He could stop doing it on a dime, making it just another case of vamping to fill time.

He hasn’t had a good depression episode brought on by something bad happening to his bankruptcy or his court cases recently

I would like for one of those to happen soon please, they are the best

Edit: I have been listening to the bill cooper covers Oklahoma City bombing episodes and I was curious about the guy, so I finally googled him

I did not realize that this dude, one of Alex’s heroes, was the author of behold a pale horse, one of the big UFO books, and famously traded gunfire with the cops before being shot to death

I knew that the author of etc etc etc was the one who died via suicide by cop, I did not realize he was this loving dorkus malorkus who is literally the Alex jones template

Knowing the details of Bill Cooper's final run in with the law makes that all the more hosed up.

I have not read Behold a Pale Horse, I probably should sometime I have time to read trash, but doesn't he go against all this by the end of his life? I know from reading summaries it's big on the aliens working with the illuminati and by the end of the his life from what I understand he was saying aliens and UFO's were all bullshit.

Morroque
Mar 6, 2013
The UFO stuff is the only thing I know Cooper had to turn "against" specifically because the early internet message boards where he ran his UFO fiefdom had been infiltrated by law enforcement. The reasons for why the infiltrator was there in the first place are rather amorphous, but their discovery led to a lot of perhaps-understandable mistrust in those communities, which in turn affected the sourcing for their collective fanfiction.

... that's the story, at least. One has to wonder if it is even true as-told, or if it was a lie to cover up for something much more petty -- but if so then we lack the other side of it. From what little KF has heard of Cooper though, while he had a bevvy of probable mental illness issues and other things which made him slightly unpleasant, he was visibly never at the level of malicious-and-abusive like we expect from Alex.

Honestly, modern standards are so bad that I'm more surprised old Bill actually wrote his own book. Truly, it was a different era.
