It was just a year or two after Sept. 11 2001 that I found Alex Jones, and my short wave radio picked up his broadcast fairly well during those first years that I listened.
Crackling over the short wave came ideas that I had never thought of before, and in those days, I listened to every word from Alex Jones, the radio host who dared to show the discrepancies in the official narrative, and who "risked his life" to bring the truth to the world.
What made Alex's show so interesting was that, not only did he show a more realistic version of events like the Oklahoma City Bombing and the 9-11 event, but he also described some of the tactics that are used by cultural engineers in order to control the mind of the group collectively, and how information has been controlled by the world's rulers throughout history.
Here's Where It Gets Interesting
Back in the early days of his broadcast, callers would often ask Alex, "How are you still alive?" With the dangerous information that he was broadcasting, some listeners found it hard to believe that he hadn't been silenced by the evil ones that he was exposing. After listening to his show for a while, I noticed that, not only did Alex Jones demonstrate why he was allowed to broadcast his show and live to tell about it, but he had already told his listeners how information was controlled, and it was from his show that I learned about true propaganda and mass mind-control, and how it was done properly.

The Court Jester
One day I listened as Alex described a form of propaganda from past centuries, as he was explaining the apparent function of the old court jester, and it made some sense. The king, or queen, would hire a jester to dress like a clown and then spill the ugly secrets of the court in the form of parody or fiction, showing the subjects of the kingdom the gruesome side of reality.

By putting the information out there, the jester acted as a sort of royal 'steam valve' that kept the population from exploding in revolt, as if the secrets being released by a clown made them less threatening, or perhaps the jester's tales simply diluted the facts, his garb and gestures implying that the story was already spent, and had run it's course for all practical purposes.

An added benefit of telling truth while wearing a clown suit was that, if anyone tried to elaborate on the jester's information, or try to verify it in any way, then they were automatically charged with being foolish, and through guilt by association, the story is doomed from the start. "Oh, you've been listening to the court jester again haven't you?"
That description of the court jester was something I'd never really thought about before Alex himself pointed it out.
Operation COINTELPRO

I had also never heard the term 'COINTELPRO' before Alex brought it up. COINTELPRO, or 'Counterintelligence Program', is apparently a government project which infiltrates and discredits organic grassroots movements in the society's population. A successful COINTELPRO operation might work to make a good idea look crazy, stupid, dangerous or evil by adopting the idea with passion, then the planted agent simply acts crazy, stupid, dangerous or evil, depending on the task, so that no reasonable person will dare repeat the narrative that has been coopted, and the grassroots movement is stopped or reversed before it can gain more popularity.
Alex Jones expertly explained COINTELPRO to his listeners a long time ago.

'Turd in the Punchbowl'
Here's another term that I also learned from Alex Jones: 'Turd in the Punchbowl'. What he was talking about was, when there is a collection of information that a community is getting data from, a single person can come along and taint the whole collection with a bit of disinformation. Also known as 'poisoning the well of information', the Turd in the Punchbowl ruins it for everyone, and nobody dares dip in or serve the punch afterwards.
It would be like having a panel of experts gathered on a certain topic, but one of the experts is wearing a tinfoil hat, and waving his arms around, screaming that he's surrounded by nano-drones. Wait, are nano-drones even real? Doesn't matter now, the tinfoil says it all, and the topic is off the table indefinitely, forever coupled with lunacy, along with anything else that panel was prepared to discuss initially. The wild display has poisoned the well of information, and the actor is playing the Turd in the Punchbowl.
Reading Between the Lines of the Play
If you decide to listen to Alex, be sure to listen to every word, there is a lot to be learned from him, and like the jester, there is a lot of truth in his words. The jester at least allows us to ask, "WHY is this info being discredited?"
Watch as the actual facts on a given matter can now easily be associated with tinfoilery, and notice how you didn't share that one highly informative video because Alex started pretending to cry at the end, a big fake blubbering act that basically ruined the whole point of the video. Watch, listen and learn from the theater.

Listen to the jester, watch the theater, and learn how the show is run, so that we can all not only unveil the truth of the world, but so that we can reclaim the world. Just to be sure though, maybe bring your own beverages, and don't drink the punch.
