By Mike Adams Natural News August 22, 2011 One of the most common question I’m asked these days is also one of the easiest to answer: Is Alex Jones for real? In a word, yes. But there’s more to it than that, of course. The whole story doesn’t become fully apparent until you’re hanging around Alex Jones in person, at his studios in Austin, and talking with the entire crew of mission-driven people who produce the InfoWars / PrisonPlanet material that has grown into a global media giant (and a force of truth to be reckoned with). As someone who is a regular in-studio guest on the Alex Jones Show — and an occasional fill-in host on the few days when Alex isn’t hosting the show himself — I’ve had the opportunity to spend some time with Alex Jones behind the scenes. Off the air. And that’s where this story begins to get even more interesting. Because Alex Jones is the same authentic person off-air as he is on-air. Alex isn’t an act, in other words. He’s the real deal, and the authenticity of who he is and what he believes comes through 100 percent whether he’s speaking to an audience of millions or just chatting with you in the hallway. Perhaps that’s why we get along so well. I have zero tolerance for B.S. in the people I choose to support or spend time with, and spending time around Alex makes it apparent that he feels exactly the same way. That’s probably why so many of our heroes are the same people — people who aren’t afraid to tell the truth and don’t pull any punches: Gov. Jesse Ventura, Rep. Ron Paul, Paul Craig Roberts, Gerald Celente and so on. It’s also probably why neither one of us wears makeup on camera, and we don’t dress up with a special on-camera wardrobe (I usually show up at his studio with my blue jean ranch shirt). Alex doesn’t wear a bunch of bling, and he doesn’t drive some fancy car to try to impress people on the road. He’s here to share his analysis on what’s really happening with the world, and he doesn’t try to sugar coat it or spice up the ratings by hiring some supermodel to mindlessly read a teleprompter (CNN, anyone?).

Authenticity in every sentence

With Alex, whether it’s on the air or off, you don’t get a teleprompter-reading, focus-group researching, makeup artist pretender. You get a live, authentic human being with all his passions, strengths, flaws and quirks all rolled into one. A real person, in other words. Not some pretender who modifies his position based on what the polls say. Alex tells you what he truly believes, not what he thinks you want to hear. And that’s the core trait of Alex, when you get right down to it. This man speaks from his heart in every word he says. In those words, if you listen carefully, you’ll find Alex’s deep-rooted compassion for all humankind. He cares deeply for the future of the human race. In fact, he’s one of the most caring and generous people I’ve ever met. He cares so much that he’s willing to put his life on the line to help protect freedom for YOUR children. He also understands human civilization. He’s an avid reader of history and can cite the year and the people involved in nearly every major event throughout world history, from modern times all the way to the Roman Empire. Because he understands human history, he also knows just how fragile complex societies really are, and he’s fully aware of how quickly and easily “good government” devolves into police state tyranny. It has happened countless times throughout history, and through his radio show and websites, Alex is simply reminding us all to wake up and pay attention… because it’s happening again!

Is Alex Jones a government agent?

Hilariously, this is one of the repeated bizarre accusations leveled against Alex Jones — no doubt by people who themselves are government agents trying to spew disinfo. The accusation goes like this: Alex Jones must be a government agent because no one achieves success at the level Alex has achieved unless they’re working for the globalists in some way. Except there’s one problem with that piece of fiction: Only LAZY (and corrupt) people make it to the top with the help of the globalists (people like George Bush, get it?). In great contrast to that, Alex Jones is the hardest working person I’ve ever met. He’s earned every ounce of his radio and internet success through 16+ years of blood and sweat. He works three times as hard as any mainstream news reporter or TV news personality you’ve ever seen, and he’s sacrificed time with his family in order to put more time into InfoWars coverage of important global events. He sacrifices the quality of his own life, in other words, to bring you more videos, special reports, documentaries and ongoing coverage of things that truly impact not just your life today, but our collective future. He technically deserves something like the Congressional Medal of Honor, but of course the President would never award such a high honor to an actual patriot who exposes the lies and corruption of Big Government. I have no doubt that Alex has a pivotal role to play in what is soon to become American history: Virtually everything he’s telling you right now — the coming financial collapse, the FEMA camps, the police state crackdowns — is about to become a documented fact of history. Read this story again in three years and you’ll see what I mean.

How does Alex see the future? It’s not voodoo…

Alex has been right on so many things for so long that people often forget he’s actually one of the best current events analysts on the planet. When he says something that’s two or three years ahead of the curve, it often sounds to mainstream people like he’s nuts or something, but if you just wait to see what unfolds, you’ll realize oh my God, Alex was right! For one, he told the world that Rick Perry would run for President two years ago (if not sooner). He called the 2006 / 2007 housing bubble crash. He call the government 9/11 a hoax long before the thousands of architects and engineers proved him right. He has accurately called every major event in the world — the Oslo “terrorist” hoax, the distortions on the war in Libya, the FBI staging fake terror events in the USA, Obama’s plot to destroy America’s economy with the help of the global banksters, and so much more. Going back through the archives of Alex Jones’ shows (www.PrisonPlanet.TV) is like reading the works of a prophet of some kind who saw visions of what was coming and simply told people what he saw.
