"I have not made a big deal about the reasons for the move, but in a nutshell, GCN is a reflection of Alex Jones' views of the world, and more and more our points of view regarding Israel are diverging. I get a lot of email asking why I do not challenge Alex on his defense of Israel, or asking why every time I am on his show Alex feels obligated to have a pro-Israel representative on immediately afterwards to counter the points that I made.
I view the attack by Israel on a US flagged ship and Americans in international waters as an act of war and all who defend said attack as traitors to the USA. Alex holds a different view and I guess the breaking point was his rant in which he said that anyone who is a critic of Israel is a "weak-minded fool". That made it a personal attack, and I decided it was time to step out of Alex's shadow and go in a different direction."

http://www.sott.net/articles/show/19503 ... al-IllnessAlex Jones is, in the opinion of Sott.net, part of a limited hang out campaign whereby the attention and energies of those people who have the capacity to realise that something is very wrong with our world are directed towards issues that are either dead ends or which, if pursued, will lead to their own destruction. Jones' "take back the government" shtick is one such issue. If Jones were worthy of his position as a leading figure in the 9/11 etc. truth community he would be directing people's attention towards reading between the lines of current world events. He would not be encouraging a survivalist and revolutionary attitude which ultimately plays directly into the hands of the Powers That Be and facilitates the ramping up of police brutality.
-Ryan DawsonI'll tell you what got Mike bumping heads more than his stance on Israel. It was his stance on atheism. The holy rollers on GCN don't want it. And Alex does give Zionist a pass because he is afraid of them. Another reason is the people who smear alex jones the most are the "blame a jew for everything crowd" and thus it makes it really hard for Alex to join us on anti-zionism. He never explains the iraq war in terms of Israel. He'll say it wasn't for oil but he wont say why the war happened. He knows it's about zionism. I have him on tape admitting it during a commercial for his regular show that still aired on prison planet tv. Other people took that clip and edited it for their own purposes. He's just too chicken shit to tackle it because he does not think it does any good. And he really doesn't know much about it. That whole germanic death cult crap is a path to no where.
http://smokingmirrors.blogspot.com/2010 ... -shit.htmlThen I saw where Alex Jones said that the Saudis controlled Hollywood, which was off the charts full of shit. Then I saw him defending Israel and never doing anything more than taking the attention of his readers and followers away from the truth, by acting like a loud embarrassment proof version of all the things he was supposed to despise and being proud of it. Then I found out who his advertisers are and who handles his public relations and the tree of money and influence that is the fruit of the poisoned message that takes the attention away from who and why is what and where.
