The Jones Situation, Pt. 2

Few Coast to Coast AM guests get me as excited to listen as filmmaker and theorist, Alex Jones. The last time Jones checked in with us for a full episode, Mr. Noory set the focus on the nature of conspiracies. For those that remember this show (my recap Here), this topic lasted for about 30 minutes. Jones is very adamant in his opinion, and is known to go off on conspiratorial tangents.
For this latest appearance, the Noor has set the focus on peak oil. And, I must say, this was a bit confusing at first. Why would Jones, a hard-core NWO watchdog, be talking about something more suited to an Art Bell episode? Then I saw that he would be arguing against the theory...
...Now we're talking.
As I alluded to above, this concept has been the topic of many weekend Bell episodes. Art seems pretty confident in his belief that it's going to be downhill from now on in oil production. George hasn't much covered the topic, except maybe to say that alternative fuel vehicles would be beneficial economically. Therefore, although hesitant that Jones should be the one to talk about it, I was glad we could see the other side of the peak oil debate.
So then, how long did he stay on topic this time? Surprisingly, for pretty much the whole episode. As always, Jones had enough news articles and quotes that he could probably have talked for a good five hours. There wasn't much opportunity to bring up Skull and Bones, "pulling the tower," or Bohemian Grove. And, even more surprisingly, this was actually a nice change. It's not that what Jones said in his past appearances still isn't relevant, but each time he's on, George spends the first hour or so trying to summarize Jones' theories for those that haven't heard him before. It was refreshing not to hear about his Grove infiltration for the millionth time.
Joining Jones was his editor, Paul Watson. This was a tricky situation, as Jones hasn't proven himself able to interview well with others. As we saw in the 9/11 Roundtable, Jones has a way of dominating a discussion with his powerful voice and enthusiasm. And, in this instance, Watson really took a backseat to him. It seemed that Jones would start talking about a certain point, then, just to make him feel included, sort of pitch a slow-ball that Paul could comment on--only to interrupt him and continue with what he was saying.
All in all, it was a good show, with Jones presenting a lot of information. But perhaps it was even too much. By the end, I was more confused on the subject than at the beginning. Since then, however, I've checked out the section dedicated to this subject at Prisonplanet.com. Reading the articles really helped me understand it. That section is available Here.
What I'd really like to see now is what (if anything) Art Bell has to say about this. Although Art probably didn't even listen, this has the opportunity to turn into a rift similar to that of the 9/11 debate.

Awesome look at Alex's appearance from last week's C2C. I agree that it was a pleasant surprise that he stayed on-topic through the whole show.
The interplay between Watson and Jones was what I expected. Alex tries to include him, but, as with the Alex Jones Show dual appearances, Alex was the boss here.
Watson works best as AJ's "sidekick" and he played that role dutifully here.
I'm sure Bell won't mention this episode, even if he listened to it. With AJ's obvious stance on 911 and now his anti-peak oil stance, Art must loathe AJ. If Art has a reaction, it will be to bring in a peak oil enthusiast on one of his 2 Sundays.
Your spot on correct in that this episode benefitted from being targeted on one topic and kept us from hearing repeated anecdotes from AJ, a common occurance when he is on C2C.
Again, awesome stuff.
Dude, great reports, but man did you have to include that photo from the Jones clip deal. That video gave me chills and night terrors for weeks after I wanted it. Ha Ha.
