The Unfiltered Truth About Alex Jones and His Public Persona
Hello, Earnest Mann here! In this episode, I'm shedding light on a fascinating and bizarre figure in modern media: Alex Jones. Drawing from a personal encounter years ago, I share my thoughts on his public and private personas. Whether you’re a fan or skeptic, you’ll find plenty to ponder in this eye-opening story.
A Candid Encounter With Alex Jones
Years ago, I sat down for a beer with Alex Jones in an Austin tavern, expecting to meet a dynamic entertainer. Instead, I encountered a man with no social graces, an over-the-top personality, and an affinity for bizarre conspiracy theories. Whether it was special ops collaborating with reptilians or his manic storytelling style, the experience was unforgettable—though not in a good way. My takeaway? He’s a mix of entertainer, provocateur, and someone deeply out of touch with reality.
The Bizarre Fate of Infowars and The Onion Connection
Fast forward to today, and Jones’s legacy is as polarizing as ever. Following his loss in the Sandy Hook defamation case, the news that The Onion—a satirical media outlet—might purchase Infowars feels like poetic justice. If you know anything about Jones, you’ll find it hilariously ironic given his disdain for onions in real life.
The Texas Effect and Reflections on Accountability
Drawing comparisons between Texas’s leniency with cultural icons like Willie Nelson and its laissez-faire approach to Jones, I explore how the state’s culture may have contributed to his unchecked behavior. But make no mistake, Jones’s actions—especially the harm caused by his conspiracies—deserve accountability.
Why Alex Jones is a Case Study in Public Tolerance
Jones’s ability to captivate audiences despite his clear issues highlights a broader societal concern: our tolerance for harmful figures in media. It’s not just about entertainment; it’s about recognizing when someone’s rhetoric crosses the line into dangerous territory.
Conclusion
Love him or hate him, Alex Jones remains a controversial figure. But as I reflect on my personal encounter with him, one thing is clear: his actions and rhetoric warrant serious scrutiny.

I'm a deep thinking contrarian, a very pragmatic idiocythrope. I believe that function determines desirability and legitimacy. I don't like the superficial and/or pretentious, nor the shallow. I speak the truth as best as I know it, as a professor of tautology.
With friends, I desire quality over quantity. I know some very important life truths I'm just waiting for you to ask about. I have found in life, many people talk about happiness, but are unwilling to pay the price, or believe they shouldn't have to, because they are entitled to it, but I know with absolute certainty, that such beliefs are always due to stupidity, Insanity, or some degree of both.
This is not just another YouTube channel; I'm seeking to build a community of Intelligent thinkers daring to discuss, - and say - what the hell really needs to be said, so do the right thing, leave your thoughts, for me and others to possibly learn from, and subscribe, and tell everyone else in the world you know about me, and you'll stand a really good chance, of me remembering you, in my will!
I believe we really can change the current status quo of an idiotic and fucked up purposeless treadmill existence, and actually improve this world, but it requires intelligence, honesty, and BALLS, all three of which are currently in short supply, especially the balls.
Thank you for taking the time, to read this, and remember to avoid anything or anyone stupid, as much as possible, your life will be far better for it.

I look forward to hearing from you, and until next Monday or Friday remember, the world may be misinformed and batshit crazy, but YOU, don’t have to be!

00:00 I just want you to know that by being here you're appreciated for your curiosity always a sign of intelligence and wisdom which means through you despite all the crazy there is hope for the world yet thank you for being here [Music] [Applause] [Music] by now I'm sure that many of you have heard about the trials and tribulations of Alex Jones his loss in the defamation case and much more but since I knew Alex Jones here's some information I
01:05 guarantee you're not going to hear anywhere else so whether you're an Alex Jones fan or not sit back and give this a listen many years ago when I was living in Texas I was sitting down in an Austin Tavern having beers with Alex Jones having been introduced to him by a mutual friend in the entertainment business at that time and what I discovered was quite surprising you see at that time I was spinning several plates in my life as they say back then and one of them was entertainment so I was kind of excited
01:49 to be meeting him because to be perfectly honest I was totally expecting someone very different being an Entertainer myself and also Al knowing quite a few other entertainers and related people in the entertainment business I have become well versed in the knowledge that more often than not the private or non- Entertainer side of entertainers was the exact opposite of the public Persona that most people witness and that's pretty much what I expected from Jones but what ended up happening however was entirely
02:32 different I sat across the table from him and was there long enough to have two or three beers when I was first introduced one of the first things I noticed was his manners he didn't have any he was very borish he gave me a look that I can best describe as if I had six heads while at the same time was irritated by the the fact that giving me proper greetings was interrupting his 10,000 word per second explanation to whoever it was he was originally talking to and that whatever the hell it was going on which I never
03:19 was able to figure out was definitely a collaborative operation between special ops and the reptilians he said oh yeah yeah good to meet you Ernest so like I was saying Frank it's absolutely a collaboration between special ops and the reptilians and you could take that to the bank and as far as the Jews are concerned I really didn't say much to him I I just sat and listened and observed the spectacle as he talked loudly and was ridiculously animated with his over-the-top body language so as I was watching him I was thinking
04:05 that he was a collection of several possibilities he was one of those entertainers that makes certain to stay in character when they are in public that he was high on something probably cocaine he was bad [ __ ] crazy or some combination of all of them regardless I remember suppress ing the very great urge I had that I hadn't had since my 20s not to say anything to him but simply just to knock the living [ __ ] out of him which at the time I was very capable of doing being in his company even that briefly was about as
04:52 pleasurable as wiping your ass with sandpaper after you've done your business and you have hemorrhoids seriously I have never felt the urge to hit a man who I had just met and did not know at all more than I did to hit him before or since that should give you some idea of how [ __ ] obnoxious he came across as far as I could tell he had zero social skills and I'm being generous so naturally when I heard that as part of his bankruptcy Infowars was being purchased by the onion and if that isn't bizarrely ironic Justice I don't
05:39 know what is as you'll find out shortly for those of you out there who don't know what the onion is well according to Wikipedia The Onion is an American digital media company and newspaper organization that publishes satirical articles on international national and local news the real mystery about Alex Jones as far as I'm concerned and I'm being 100% serious this guy is and has been for a very long time completely bat [ __ ] crazy so I simply don't understand not only how the hell he was able to have a
06:25 show like Infowars but to keep Infowars crazy [ __ ] going for as long as he did I know he was eventually divorced but the very fact that he was able to get married at all to an attractive intelligent and certainly by comparison rational woman in the first place I mean I know the old adage that love is blind and maybe she met him and fell in love with him before he completely lost his [ __ ] marbles I don't know but I certainly know one thing in my opinion he was batshit crazy when I met him and unlike a fine wine
07:08 he's sure as hell didn't get better with age the only thing I can think of was that it was a Texas thing when I lived in Austin he was always involved in some kind of crazy [ __ ] but apparently the Texas legal system just decided oh what the hell it's just Alex he don't mean no harm everybody knows he's as crazy as a [ __ ] house rat it's the same way they dealt with Willie Nelson now I like Willie met and talked with him several times but when he got busted in his own motor home which he has been living in for many
07:53 years and goes from show to show in for smoking weed and please bear in mind that weed was illegal in Texas at the time everybody laughed everybody thought it was funny as hell because everybody knew there was no way in hell any courtroom in Texas was going to prosecute Willie for smoking the devil's lettuce and we were right he only had to pay a really small fine and that [ __ ] was completely over and done the message amongst Texans was very clear if the governor wanted to keep that nice mansion He lived in the state of Texas
08:39 better leave Willie the hell alone or the people would burn that Mansion to the ground seriously Texans love Willie and I'm kind of partial to him myself just one quick other thing about Willie I would like to add there is a song called I'll never Smoke Weed With Willie Again it's absolutely hilarious I strongly suggested so back to Alex Jones the biggest problem I see with Alex Jones is Not So Much Jones himself as I said he's definitely batshit crazy but at some point whether you be a family member or
09:22 perhaps in this case an entire state which is shielding him you're not talking about someone just smoking some weed here we're talking about a man who has some serious mental and personality issues and sooner or later people with that condition harm others which is why he's paying the price because of the whole Sandy Hook thing which is totally understandable believe me this guy should not be on the airwaves spewing forth his vital and delusional hate-filled cons conspiracies his ass should be in a
10:02 rubber room and a straight jacket until they can get enough thorine in him to calm his crazy ass down I'll finish this up with just one last thing do you remember at the beginning when I mentioned the bizarre irony of Jones's infow wars being purchased by The Onion you see in real life Alex Jones absolutely hates onions [Music] so if you would like to know more about well just about anything Park your ass here every Monday and Friday at 6:00 a.m.
