Knowledge Fight is two dudes, Dan and Jordan, talking about Alex Jones and his racist, idiotic grifting. Dan knows too much about Alex Jones and Jordan doesn't know anything about Alex Jones. Sometimes, there are Space Raptors.

From the official website:

quote:

Our podcast is nearly impossible to sell to you. We primarily talk a bunch about how Alex Jones is an idiot and intentionally misleads his listeners for fun and profit, but that's not the whole story. We also branch off into the nature of conservative propaganda and the art of the con, breaking down scam artists from the worlds of politics, religion, and of course, outer space. It sounds more complicated than it is; really it's just a show about one friend researching things and telling another friend about the depressing and hilarious things he learned.



About Dan:

quote:

Dan is a podcaster and comedian who is taking a break from comedy, working out of Chicago.

Dan has a cross-eye, and has been fascinated by conspiracy theories for years, lurking on blogs and message boards to get a sense of what the "researchers" believe. He never really believed any of that stuff though, mostly thanks to his extensive training in formal logic. Now he is trying to use his knowledge of conspiracy and logic to build a robust Knowledge Fight.

About Jordan:

quote:

Jordan is currently a stand-up comedian working out of Chicago. He has no prior experience with Alex Jones' brand of conspiracy theories, but is uniquely qualified to fight it. Jordan's birth was prophesied by the leader of the cult his parents were in (editor's note: this is factually accurate), little did they know his destiny was to fight against cults, not for them.

YES! I nearly made a thread today and thankfully someone did it for me!

Finally, I am someone!

One of the reasons I that enjoy KF so much is that they discuss not only Alex's narcissism, but his debilitating substance abuse and possible schizophrenia/paranoia. I don't know why main stream news pundits on make fun of his weird gaffes and not the fact he believes the 'globalists' are actual vampires controlled by an 'interdimensional, off world demonic intelligence'. He straight up believes in the real Christian devil (that is also an interdimensional being) that controls everyone that votes Democrat.

I don't get enough Soros bucks to put up with that kind of abuse.

Jordan’s distanced laugh howl is my essence.

I know that he's just putting the mic away from his face and leaning back to yell, but I like to imagine Jordan runs across Dan's bed room/podcast studio to do it. And then Dan just says. "Perhaps".

I hate to suggest a 4 hour episode as anybody's intro to the podcast, but if you hate Alex Jones and want to hear him get intellectually dunked on for over two hours by the attorney for the Sandy Hook parents, this is the one to listen to.

I have generally not been up for knowledge fight myself: is it's listening to Alex Jones' show I would rather not. Make fun of the crazy things he's saying all you want but it's still his circus and he's still the ringmaster at Infowars.

You’re missing out if you think KF is just pointing and laughing at Alex Jones being a dum-dum. The level of commentary you’re hearing from Dan on the deposition is the same quality he brings to each episode. Every episode is a well researched slaughter of Jones’ lies and propaganda.

I’m glad you’re enjoying the deposition episode, though. If you scroll back through the episodes, there’s at least 3 more and one with a Mark Bankston as a guest.

My read is that he is the grift. He has become one with it. He can't not launch into his insane word salad tirades even when his audience is nowhere to be found.

Jones has monetized his own schizophrenia and paranoia. Maintaining the grift is also maintaining his own personal reality.


Also, I’m really glad this thread is getting some discussion. Feel free to suggest new Alex Jones quotes to put in the title.

The Project Camelot space weirdos are just as bad, if not worse. They openly reference movies when explaining the secret space program.

Also, it should be noted that Jones believes in ‘predictive programming’, ‘soft disclosure’, and ‘lesser magic’. Basically, he believes that the Globalists are telling us exactly what they are doing and their intentions through popular media and thus not only indoctrinate the masses, but gain their implicit consent.

Movies are the white papers, guys.

Nope, just a stand-up comic who happens to be the largest non-crazy repository of information on the Infowars Extended Universe.

To be fair, Dan has an impressive academic background. He was a Classical Greek major in college and can read the Iliad and poo poo in the original text. He’s used that skill a few times to refute some dumb poo poo Alex said about what the Gospels “really said”. I’m pretty sure he had a minor or at least emphasis in formal logic, too.

Jordan is no slouch, either. He may be the color commentary, but he is also incredibly well read. He’s made some very deep cut references to literary works that I know about but am too lazy to read. Also, there are about seven “Jordan takes over” episodes where he teaches Dan about climate change. He’s incredibly passionate about the climate change crisis.

I’m still not a hundred percent that Daria isn’t Alex’s Russian handler. Back in 2015, Alex was invited to do a spot on RT via Skype. What actually happened was that he ended up being debriefed by Russian intelligence agents who set up the RT spot as a pretense. They grilled him on if he was for real or not and then, because they trained to manipulate narcissists, lay into Alex with praise and basically flip him. Alex describes this all in great detail on his show and is too stupid to realize he got flipped into a Russian asset for free. 2015 is the same year that Daria starts at infowars and the bots start pumping Alex’s numbers.

KF #82 for context

So, yeah, maybe a bit tinfoil hatter of me, but I think Daria was doing as she was trained.

Also good God. I've have an interest in occult, witchcraft and spiritualism since high school and I have to be reminded again that guys like this share that same space.

Jones and his right wing ilk are more about Blavatsky Theosophy. Johns may have a dash Gnosticism in his cosmology, but I wouldn't worry abut sharing the same space. Though, I hear that QAnon really took off in yoga studios...

I'm a little salty with Jordan revealing that only because I enjoyed the mystery. I refuse to believe that Alex actually knows about KF and until he starts adding cross eyes and beards to the descriptions of the globalist goblins he's always running into. Alex has no capacity not to attack someone's appearance.

I just assumed that Alex had to know and Free Speech Systems would have had to reach out. Now I want to know in what capacity did they reach out? I'm guessing lawsuit.

I think that Info Wars staff reached out specifically because they don't want Alex to find out about KF. They have enough braincells amongst them to know that Alex would gently caress up real bad if he attacked them.

A highlight of listening to these older KF episodes has been the investigation into when Alex went from being his regular terrible self to being fully trump-pilled insane.

They started ep46 with June 18, 2015 the day Trump announced his candidacy and proceed from there.

Sometimes they drop a half hour or so before midnight, which means that thanks to my bad sleep hygiene I end up listening before I go to bed. Then the next day at work I think, "Oh! It's Monday! That means new Knowledge Fight!!"

I get very excited until I realize that I bamboozled myself via my own terrible memory.

I work 2nd shift and I get to listen on the drive home as soon as a new episode drops.

Jokes is crazy, but he isn’t stupid. There is no way he didn’t know he wasn’t going to get caught broadcasting while he was supposed to be in court.

As I see it, this is basically a big “gently caress you” to the court. I hope the judge sees it that way too!

Alex Jones is a loving ding dong. Dumb gently caress probably thought he had 'cracked the code' with having Dr. Marbles write him a sick note.

I'd have put him down for abusing the hell out of prescription drugs. Heroin and speed are for low lives and scum, but Vicodin and Adderall come from a man in a white coat who charges $500 for an appointment so are appropriate for a man of his stature.

Cocaine is drug of choice for capitalist narcissists. I'm not even being a hyperbolic lefty (which I am) about it. Pop-culture has portrayed cocaine as the nose candy of high paid white stock brokers and executives and Alex thinks movies are real life.
