Deep dives
Alex Jones challenges mainstream media narrative on military training drills
Alex Jones expresses frustration at being portrayed as a coward for not joining ABC News, shifts focus to showcasing alleged footage of US military training drills involving detention methods as preparation for martial law. He emphasizes a need for Patriot-focused interviews and accuses media of disregarding critical military trainings for the nation's safety.
Inconsistencies in Alex Jones' information dissemination on martial law preparations
Alex Jones blends older video footage from a California military training drill with newer footage from Arizona to bolster a narrative on military training for martial law suppression. By highlighting a snippet where a detainee claims to be a sovereign citizen, Jones implies that US citizens are being targeted, despite contradictions in the sovereign citizen ideology.
Misinformation tactics employed by Alex Jones in leveraging military training videos
Alex Jones strategically manipulates footage from a California military training exercise to influence audience perception of current Arizona drills, insinuating a narrative of military preparation for suppressing US citizens under martial law. By utilizing videos from diverse states and scenarios, Jones crafts a narrative reinforcing his theories on tyrannical governance and anti-government sentiments.
Uncover the Controversy Around Extendovite
A controversial supplement called Extendovite, made from garlic and cayenne, is discussed in the podcast, positioned as a heart health product. The odd commercial for Extendovite features a neighbor digging despite having had a heart attack, confidently attributing his energy to the supplement when questioned by his neighbor. The humorous and bizarre exchange in the commercial underlines the promotion of a heart health product that strikes an odd tone in its marketing approach.
The Legal Battle Between Percy Schmeiser and Monsanto
The legal battle between Canadian farmer Percy Schmeiser and agricultural giant Monsanto is highlighted in the podcast. Schmeiser found Monsanto canola seeds on his land, leading to a lawsuit. The Canadian Supreme Court ruled in favor of Monsanto regarding patent validity, but Schmeiser did not have to pay damages as his use of the herbicide-resistant canola didn't result in extra profits. This case catapulted Schmeiser into a folk hero status within the anti-GMO movement, prompting a film adaptation of his story and earning him the Mahatma Gandhi award.
In this installment, Dan and Jordan do the show in Baltimore at the Ram's Head Live, discussing the day where Alex tries to get interviewed by a mainstream journalist on air and spends a great deal of time talking about Jade Helm and GMOs.
