They Pulled the Plug on Alex Jones, but..

14/11/2024

By Randall Richards

I starting listening to Alex Jones by scanning the airwaves on shortwave radio many years ago, before he was on the internet. I knew then, he was the real deal. As Tucker Carlson says, “You know the truth when you hear it. You can smell it.”

When a court-ordered “sealed bid” auction just resulted in the shutdown of Jones’s website and his Infowars studio today the internet exploded.

As I write, his X feed is breaking 4.6 million views overall, only hours after starting his newly created backup studio in Austin, Texas.

Go to Alex Jones.network now to hear the real news.

The creators of this crazy and unconstitutional plan have no idea of the unintended consequences they’ve unleashed. The sealed bid auction was completely controlled. The rules were not based on the highest bidder, rather the best bidder, chosen by the court. That best bidder, in their eyes is The Onion. You can now kiss them goodbye. (Notice, no hyperlink). Agents came in while Jones was on the air and actually pulled the plugs of the studio equipment. Go to infowars.com and you’ll see “Site unavailable until further notice.”

Meanwhile, the widespread outpouring of support for Jones is self-evident. Nobody likes a bully, especially if it’s a government who has forgotten it works for the people.

Jones interviews formere Lawyer Viva Frei as I write this.

Napoleon once said, ‘Never interfere with an enemy while he’s in the process of destroying himself.’  So enjoy the ride folks, it’s getting really interesting. You’re watching the power structure in self-destruct mode.

And while I’m quoting, I’ll add another. The times we’re in now, is best illustrated by this one: “There are decades when nothing happens, and there are weeks when decades happen.”

Like him or hate him, Jones has been right far more than he has been wrong and deserves to be heard. It’s his constitutional right. We’re watching the fall of the old media in realtime right before our eyes. It’s surreal, a bit unnerving, but no one can argue – It’s an exciting time to be alive.

You can see his new platform called Alex Jones Live here. Go ahead, help break the internet.

Make Injustice Visible

Make injustice visible”. Mahatma Gandhi

The article below by Mary Hobbs of the Daily Telegraph, is about my friend Liz Gunn, who was assaulted, (along with her camerman) by NZ Police at a public airport.  Whether you’re reading this in New Zealand or elsewhere, and you care about your freedoms, I urge you to read the whole article and see the brief video clip of the assault, (also linked in article.) I finally saw the footage just now, and was nauseated to see a peaceful friend being thrown to the floor and injured in what may well have been a pre-planned assault.

If it can happen to her, it can happen to one of you.  Just stay in line, and you’ll be fine, but for how long.

Kudos to Mary Hobb for writing this article.

IS NEW ZEALAND HOVERING ON THE BRINK OF A POLICE STATE?

The rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened. — President John F. Kennedy

Imagine arriving at Auckland International airport on a Saturday afternoon to meet friends flying in from overseas. You gather other Kiwis there for the same purpose, in a festive sense of anticipation. While chatting with your friend, who arrived with his best camera to record the happy occasion, you are singled out by a security worker who mistakenly considers you’re there to commercially film. With a sense of disquiet at being singled out, you explain that you are not there in a commercial capacity, but the airport employee says — regardless of your explanation — that you are going to be trespassed and the police will be called. Read the rest of the story here.

Truth and Lies, Time for Feedback

11/04/2024

By Randall Richards

I thought I’d take the opportunity to share the feedback form I just completed for the Aspiring Conversation’s “Truth and Lies” event last 6th of April here in Wanaka, NZ. The only thing I screwed up, that I can see, is I failed to capture the screenshot of questions 9 and 10 on this feedback form. So I recreated the that screen shot the best I could, otherwise it’s all from their SurveyMonkey form.

Truth & Lies, in Their Own Words

10/04/2024

By Randall Richards

The Truth and Lies event held recently in Wanaka, NZ, was a part of the Aspiring Conversation series, under of the greater Festival of Colour event. A number of my free-thinking friends and I attended, and although recording and filming the event was not approved, a good audio copy was captured, and we’ll let you decide for yourself how on-target the speakers were on major issues facing us such as freedom of speech, the internet – platforms such as Telegram, and… Fear. Yes you read that correctly: Fear was a dominent theme we picked up in both presenters and the audience. Barry Young once mentioned that he’d love to be inside their (the panelist’s) head to see what makes them say and think what they do.

Alistair Harding eloguently stated this morning when he was interviewing Roy Chantaloup and me, that the panelests are making a last gasp effort of stating their revelence when it’s clear the OFM, Old Fashioned Media, and the lies it pumps out, are fading into oblivion. It’s not happening fast enough, but it is happening.

Anyway, here’s the audio of that “dialogue” where no Q&A were allowed, nor opposing views.

Another conclusion Alistair, Roy and I came to, was when the day comes that our community hosts a Truth event here in Wanaka, we will certainly invite Kate Hannah, Souixsie Wiles, Kathy Ferguson and Bryon C. Clarke to to have a civil discussion. We are not racists, nor “alt-right” nor conspiracy theororists. We are humans, as they are, seeking a dialogue. We will seek to fulfull the vision statement of which the Festival of Colour, and Aspiring Conversations attempt woefully fell short. This event was a lost opportunity, but there will be more ahead here in Wanaka. Our community will see to it. Please attend when you see the announcement.

Author’s Note: There will be a transcript of this audio track published here soon. Stay tuned.
