Today, Dan and Jordan look back to 2009 as Alex Jones inches closer to America's first Tax Day while the Tea Party is a thing. That doesn't factor into this episode all this much, since Alex has Big Jim Tucker on the show as a guest and he ends up saying a word on the show that is a huge problem.
If you're listening out there and you're thinking, hey, I like this show, I'd like to support these gents, you can do that by going to our website, knowledgefight.com, clicking that button that says support the show.
Just from a narrative standpoint, that would have been nuts.
But what, like...
I can't even begin to talk about how fucked up the thing that happens on this episode is.
unidentified
There are not many times that I'm listening to these episodes and, like, my response to something I hear is, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
So anyway, this guy was listening to Neil Bortz, and apparently Bortz is starting to cover some of these, like, MIAC report things that Alex has been talking about.
And so this caller wants to ask Alex about, like, what does he think about that?
And he brings up the way Bortz is covering it and wants Alex's response.
Well, anyway, he turned everything into a liberal issue.
Why is there no left wing on the document?
Why is it just right wing and everything like that?
And everything here locally and in Nashville and everything, they're talking about all the big tea parties and stuff like that, and why does the left have anything like that?
Why aren't they coming up against this stuff about the IRS and stuff like that?
Well, because the so-called left are all Big Banker Foundation owned and run.
All these big websites literally attacking me are Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, funded.
In fact, I'm going to cover that some later in the hour.
And so they're there wanting more taxes.
See, the average liberal on the street thinks that, oh, it's lovey-dovey and social welfare debt and that it's helping the poor to have big government.
They don't understand big government is for the big corporations through their tax-free foundations to steal the working people's money.
And so the left loves the taxes.
That's why they list the Tea Parties as basically terrorists in a lot of these documents, is because the hereditary enemy of the globalists is paleoconservatives slash classical liberals.
So the underlying question that he seems to be asking the caller, like, why don't they have any of these MIAC reports about liberals?
For people on the left.
Why isn't that?
Why is it only us right-wing people who are being pointed out for their extremism?
And there's a reason for this.
It's because Alex and his guests like to pretend that all government is ever concerned about is right-wing extremism.
And the government just turns a complete blind eye to any terrorism or extremism on the left.
This perception is created and reinforced by the fact that people like Alex, or, in this caller's case, Neil Bortz, only cover stuff like this when they need to get really defensive about reports about right-wing extremism.
So they can, you know, just basically prop up their own narrative of systemic oppression.
It should come as no surprise that this version of reality that the propagandists here present is not accurate in any way.
In April 2001, Dr. Carl Sager prepared a report for the U.S. Department of Energy entitled Left-Wing Extremism, The Current Threat.
This report, in many ways, is pretty similar to the MIAC report, saying things like, quote, a lot of terrorists on the left are communists, which may be accurate, I'm not sure, but in no way implies that this report is saying that you are a terrorist if you're a communist.
A lot of left-wing terrorists probably do have communist leanings.
The report explains that, quote, It goes on to say that, quote, It's the same thing.
One of the things I found particularly interesting about this particular report, though, was that it pulled information from a study conducted by Brent Smith, published in the State University of New York Press, called Terrorism in America.
In the study, Smith looked at 378 members of identified terrorist groups and compared the demographics of those in right-wing groups and left-wing ones.
He found that members of right-wing groups were 97% male, compared to 73% in left-wing groups.
Members of right-wing groups were 97% white compared to 29% in left-wing groups.
36% of the members of right-wing groups were over the age of 40 as opposed to 18% over the age of 40 in left-wing groups.
12% of the members of right-wing groups had college degrees compared to 54% of left-wing group members.
None of that really proves anything definitive, but the numbers are different enough to be interesting.
So, also, in October 2014, the Department of Homeland Security released a report titled Patterns of Terrorism in the United States, 1970-2013.
And it's very clear from the data it presents.
Mostly what you find is that there was a shit ton of left-wing terrorism in the 70s.
And that shifts hard towards right-wing terrorism from that point onward.
In the 80s and 90s, anti-abortion activists, the report's words, not mine, were the number one category of terrorists in the United States, comprising 16% of attacks in the 80s and 26% in the 90s.
Throughout that entire time, the DHS does make note that groups like the Animal Liberation Front and Earth Liberation Front were very active in committing a bunch of terrorist attacks.
But in the 24 years that the ALF was active at that point, their attacks had killed no one.
And the same is true of the Earth Liberation Front.
At the same time the numbers of left-wing incidents were decreasing.
You see these patterns very clearly.
The point is that the government and the researchers in these organizations, they don't ignore left-wing terrorism.
They deal with the reality, and that reality is that there's plenty of left-wing terrorism to discuss, and simultaneously, there's even more right-wing terrorism to discuss.
If anyone's ignoring anything, it's Alex and his right-wing ilk ignoring the fact that they do cover all this stuff in order to maintain the illusion that the out-of-control government is targeting conservatives in preparation to put them in camps.
Or some shit like that.
That's all.
This is all bullshit.
There's plenty of reports you can find about left-wing terrorism.
There's also plenty of reports you can find about the FBI planting agents inside left-wing groups in order to incite them to violence, in order to discredit them.
That is a very real example that happens regularly, including recently in the...
How many different places?
in Charlottesville they had FBI agents in there in so many different places in the fucking Black Panthers in the 60s and 70s the main reason that they killed Why was there an informant?
Because the FBI was fucking targeting them specifically and ignoring right-wing terrorist groups.
Now, Charlottesville is the best example of the FBI literally planting agents inside the protesters in order to incite them to violence, in order to discredit them.
But, you know, be that as it may, we got just bogus nonsense coming up here.
We got Alex saying, use the Second Amendment to fight taxes, and then just crazy bullshit about how the left is free to roam and no one targets them or anything like that.
I assume Alex doesn't get the irony of him saying that you should kill tax collectors and also saying that right-wing terrorist is almost non-existent.
So in this next clip, he gets to a narrative against one President Barack Obama that I think, first of all, the first part of it is pretty distasteful and I'm not thrilled with.
The second part is awesome and it's another one of these scandals that I completely forgot.
My assessment of Bo is pretty cute, all things considered.
In a scandal that we all still remember as being a stain on the presidency, Barack Obama did not adopt a rescue dog after saying that he absolutely, 100%, would only accept a rescue dog.
Except that isn't true at all.
In a press conference, Obama said, quote, Criticism of him.
He didn't say that he was going to get a shelter dog or a rescue dog, just that he would prefer to.
But the requirements they were working with might make it hard.
By April, they'd narrowed down the dog hunt, and the family began searching at shelters for a dog that met their needs.
Ultimately, they didn't find that dog.
But one of the litter mates of the dog owned by Senator Ted Kennedy did fit their exact needs, so he bought it for them as a gift.
Though Bo was bought from a breeder, the dog is also what's known as a second-chance pet, meaning that its first owner had returned it to the breeder, which is something that can carry a little bit of a stigma in dog breeding circles.
Obama never claimed that this made it a rescue dog, but guess who did?
There are so many stories of, and probably still going on right now, actually almost certainly still going on right now, where somebody of mixed race is both excluded from their skin color based.
And also excluded from the other side of their heritage simply because of their skin color.
Also, the American Free Press is one of those things that's named in a way to intentionally trick people into thinking stuff like what I was just saying.
When in reality it's a completely fucked up outlet and anyone associated with it deserves a fair amount of suspicion.
The American Free Press was set up by Willis Carto, a noted anti-Semite and white supremacist.
In 2001, after his previous publication, The Spotlight was forced into bankruptcy.
They were sued by the Institute for Historical Review, which is a legit, outright Holocaust-denialist publication, which was also founded by Willis Carto, who had by that time fallen out of their good graces.
So he co-found this organization, and by this point in time, he was not doing great.
So in 1996, the Institute for Historical Review successfully sued Willis Carto for just short of $6.5 million because he embezzled $7.5 million that had been left to the IHR in the will of Gene Edison Farrell, the grandniece of Thomas Edison, who was herself a really big anti-Semite.
I'm not actually sure if that occupation was before the lawsuit or after, but it doesn't really matter in my eyes.
The 2001 case that bankrupted him appears to be a continuation of this case from 1996, but also alleged that Will Escarto diverted funds from the IHR's parent company to himself.
After he lost this case, he had to declare bankruptcy, and the spotlight ended up having to fold.
But because Willis Carto is a man dedicated to both the grift and to anti-Semitism, he immediately started up American Free Press.
And most of the people involved in the spotlight just started working there.
The ADL has called Carto, quote, one of the most influential American anti-Semitic propagandists of the past 50 years, which makes sense considering that he explicitly set up his publications, both the Spotlight and American Free Press, as instruments to turn the public sentiment against and, as the ADL puts it, quote, mobilize opinion against the Jewish population.
He did what he did to swindle money from organizations and to attack the Jews, who he saw as the biggest threat to the world.
He literally said, quote, if Satan himself, with all of his superhuman genius and diabolical ingenuity at his command, had tried to create a permanent disintegration and force for the destruction of the nations, he could have done no better than to invent the Jews.
When Wallace, his campaign failed, Carto continued on with the group and renamed it the National Youth Alliance.
The National Youth Alliance was a hotbed of neo-Nazis and white supremacists, with many of their leading figures being members of a pseudo-secret society called the Francis Parker Yaki Society.
In 1960, while he was in prison after being caught with falsified passports, this Yaki guy, he was visited by, you guessed it, Willis Carteau, who was near obsessive about his writings and philosophy.
It probably wasn't related, but Yaki killed himself by ingesting cyanide a week later.
In his time with the National Youth Alliance, Carter recruited a promising youngster by the name of William Luther Pierce into the group.
Interestingly, Pierce would go on to write the Turner Diaries, which is largely thought of as the white supremacist militia bible.
Pierce took over the National Youth Alliance and rebranded it as the National Alliance, which is one of the most virulent white nationalist organizations in public operation during the 90s and early 2000s.
It's still in existence now, but with a slightly, eh, fairly diminished capacity.
But they were a really fucked up important group of the neo-Nazi white supremacist times.
During that re-emergence of militia shit in the 90s.
And it all traces back to Willis Cardo and the George Wallace campaign.
In another interesting parallel, Cardo was one of the people who helped launch the Populist Party.
Best known for, probably best known, for fielding David Duke as their candidate for president in 1988.
Whereas the Populist Party was into some of the stuff that the more mainline conservatives were at the time, they were notable for their stances about repealing the federal income tax, abolishing the Federal Reserve, and cracking down super hard on immigration.
All things that Alex yells about all the time.
And Alex was like 13, 14 when they were coming up as a political entity, right around when Alex claims that he had his clarity moment reading None Dare Call It Conspiracy, written by Gary Allen, who worked for the Wallace campaign right alongside Willis Cardo.
My point here is that there's a lot of really bad connections that you can see really easily.
Both literal connections between people and ideological connections.
But chiefly here, the point is that Willis Carto is a flagrant anti-Semite, a Nazi sympathizer, a white supremacist, and his publications were set up literally and explicitly to further those worldviews.
And Jim Tucker was the editor of the spotlight, and he came along to American Free Press after Carto declared bankruptcy in 2001.
Jim Tucker is complicit.
He knew what kind of outlet he was working for, and here he is, presented as some kind of an expert instead of an anti-Semite, guesting on Alex Jones' show.
You might get your first indication that this interview isn't going to go well.

And until the turkeys in Congress increase cigarette taxes by 62 cents a pack, jerking food off the tables of starving Negro children in doing so, they cost $1.70 a carton, or $1.70 each, $17 a carton.
So in this next clip, Alex, Jim's still there, but he's talking about how he hasn't plugged, and he wants to plug that people should go get the Obama deception.
And the reason that he's plugging is because he knows that there's going to be tons and tons of tea parties around the country the next day.
And for him, like for normal businesses, you'd be like, this is a bad business strategy, telling people to copy your stuff.
But in reality, for him, it's a brilliant business strategy, because everybody that's buying his CD is going to give it to somebody who does not have it.
From everything I can tell, this is the first instance of Alex selling silver-based health products, which is something he'd continue to do for years, so that's fun.
Their website lists a P.O. box in Huntsville, Utah as their address, which leads you to believe that they would be filed as a business with the state of Utah.
But if you search the Utah business registration website, there is no company called Supernatural Silver on file, even including businesses whose filings have expired.
It could be that the company is incorporated in a different state.
But it's not.
If you search the site in the Wayback Machine, SupernaturalSilver.com, you can find their Terms of Service page from like 2010, 2011.
And it clearly says that they're operated out of the state of Utah.
Like a list of products you can buy that takes you to a checkout screen.
It's super minimal.
So at that point...
Going this far through it, I was like, well, I don't know.
I've been able to establish that based on their Terms of Service page, you can get on the Wayback Machine, they are calling themselves Supernatural Silver.
That's the business name as described there.
That isn't in the Utah.gov registry of business names, but there's one place left to look for info.
They claim that supernatural silver is copyright, and they own the copyright to it.
So if that's the case, then there's a file in the Government Patents and Copyright Office.
So I ran a search on that and found them.
And this is where things get a little bit interesting.
For one, the copyright has lapsed now, so it's wide open if you have a silver business.
Second, the actual name of their business is Silver Panacea LLC.
They don't have a doing business as name on file for Supernatural Silver, which is what they're presenting as the business's name.
So that's a little bit dicey.
I'm not sure if that's illegal in Utah, as it is in Texas, when we looked into the Fortified Supply stuff.
I don't know about Utah's laws, so I'm going to leave that one up in the air.
However...
Because we can now find the business information about the company, because we have the business's name, we can find out more about it.
Like the fact that, though they filed their LLC paperwork on March 11th, 2009, they claim in their copyright application that the first time they did business was April 9th, 2009, a mere five days before the episode that we're listening to, which is nuts.
The business tracking site BuzzFile cites an estimate that Silver Panacea brings in about $73,000 annually.
So my suspicion that it's not that large of a company seems pretty accurate.
Manta, another business information tracking site, estimates the same annual revenue.
If these estimates are accurate, that you have a minuscule business that hasn't even been operating a week somehow being able to afford advertising on Alex Jones' show when his rates should have been at least competitive at that time.
I'm very suspicious of the sponsorship, but until I can learn more, I have to leave it at that.
It's a suspicion.
It's entirely possible that the person who started this business was independently wealthy, took a huge gamble with the sponsorship on Alex's show, hoping for a big return.
I'm going to keep my eyes on this one and let you know what comes up.
And if it turns out that it is just some rich person in Utah making a really dumb financial investment, I'm ready to accept that possibility.
Although, on the other hand, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the third book, does explicitly say that if you are doing business in a different name, you do have to register as doing business ads.
This is a mic down clip, and you might need to hear it twice to believe what you hear.
But at this point, Jim Tucker proves that he works for Willis Carto.

And one of the strongest patriots on the Supreme Court is Clarence Thomas, who, although he is himself a Negro, is hated by liberals for opposing affirmative action.
Like, no matter what the word there actually is, what he was expressing was, even though Clarence Thomas is this word, He's still against affirmative action, and that's great.
Well, we already talked about that British dude, too, that Alex is trying to use as justification, and that doesn't even work based on what he was up to.
So, anyway, that was really crazy, and, like...
I did all the looking into and writing up on the American Free Press and Willis Cardo before I even got to that part of the episode.
So, anyway, in this next clip, Alex just says something really stupid, and it's in the context of a caller who's calling in, and he's presenting, like, look, I don't know how it happened, but I've got TB.
I got, or not TB, I have hepatitis C. Okay.
He's got hepatitis C, and he's like, I don't know, I got tattoos, but I thought I got them at all the places that are licensed or have checks from the departments and what have you.
According to a 2014 report from the Centers for Disease Control, there were 2,300 new cases of leprosy diagnosed in the United States between 1994 and 2011.
That 7,000 number cannot possibly be accurate because he's clearly talking about the United States.
He's talking about things that get brought in and that sort of thing.
Well, I think what he's trying to say there is that there were no cases, then there was one case, then there were 7,000 cases, and then there were no cases.
So I think his point that he's trying to make is they did this as like a test and then stopped doing it.
I mean, he is saying something that's supposed to raise suspicions, obviously.
But I don't think that's the point he's trying to make.
I think it's that they're bringing it in.
Because the third world food and stuff like that is supposed to, I think it's supposed to anchor in your brain is the idea of like third world places are bringing all that leprosy in along with the TB and the lettuce or whatever.
And so, I mean, it's just not accurate.
I mean, even if it were global statistics he was talking about, like let's say that 7,000 number is accurate for the entire world.
You don't get to start your answer by saying, I'm not a doctor, I can't give medical advice, and then end your answer with...
A lot of doctors, a lot of experts, a lot of people say medications just make you worse, but whatever.
That but whatever at the end there is particularly distasteful because it's supposed to imply dismissal of his own argument in order to highlight that that's the argument he's actually making.
It's like, these doctors say that this is the case, but whatever.
Go take your medication.
That's the tone that he's trying to evoke in that.
Yeah, no, he's literally saying, I am not a doctor, but because I know so many doctors who have said this, I am giving you second-hand medical advice, and that second-hand medical advice is if you take your HIV medication, you will die.
But anyone listening could get that negative message for any kind of thing.
They have meds they need to take.
And it's just, I mean, it's insane.
Like, yes, there are some medications for chronic conditions that have horrible side effects, but the conditions that they take care of also have horrible side effects.
And just trying to make propaganda out of the idea that, like, there is a small percentage of people who will have terribly negative reactions to things.
Therefore, no one should take those.
It's so bad.
It's just so bad.
And that's what he's putting in.
I can't stress, he started this show saying that if you don't like taxes, you can fight back with the Second Amendment.
We have him allowing Jim Tucker to say the N-word on his show, and now he's telling a dude straight up, if you read between the lines of what he's saying, don't take your meds.
That's a really interesting argument, I would say, for free speech.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Like, if you say something that literally leads to the death of a person, and that's purely because they believed what you say, that's a really fascinating question.
His family members could have this audio of him literally calling into Alex's show and him saying, there's a lot of people who think your meds are worse for you than your condition.
It's a complicated line, and I don't think we have an answer on it.
But anyway, at this point, Alex takes another call from a guy, and this guy is going to the Orlando Tea Party the next day, and he has some big news for Alex about something he's bringing with him.
And I want to encourage people who are in Florida who are wanting to get active.
Maybe this is the first time you're hearing this and you don't know where to go to.
You can go to www.meetup.com backslash Orlando911Truth.
We do a lot of stuff.
And last thing that I'll let you go, Alex, I know you've got a lot to do, but we're going to have a special celebrity endorsement tomorrow.
We've got a life-size Barack Obama cutout we're taking to the rally with us with a speech bubble that says, new administration, same agenda, one world government.
So, I'm not saying that this guy in any way facilitated that, but it's really, or is the inspiration or anything like that.
This guy is just doing something, it's a goofy sign, whatever.
It's just interesting that before this tax day, largest number of Tea Parties around the country...
That sort of thing was there in its sort of more innocent phase that would turn super dark pretty quick.
And I think it's a function of the fact that at this point, I don't think that the Tea Party really had lost the thread yet.
At least before tax day, there was a focus, it seems, mostly on being against taxes, that sort of thing.
It makes sense that this guy would bring a big Obama cutout and it'd just be like, he's a New World Order or whatever, as opposed to what it becomes, which is like, you know, hanging dolls of Obama and burning them and stuff like that.
The way he was able to pivot it to, like, hey, Jim, it's been great to have you on the show, plugged his book, made sure not to get into a fight with him, and then got defensive as soon as he got off the phone on Jim's behalf.
Yeah.
It seemed like it...
That isn't something he didn't think could happen and was at least a little prepared for on some level.
Adrian Salvucci, the economist in Argentina, documenting what their collapse was like by design with the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
Having trouble getting connected to him in Argentina.
Alex, however, fails to point out that Salbucci is an ultra-nationalist and part of a group called Project Second Republic, which aims to bring a new independence to Argentina.
A new independence from whom, you might ask?
I think you already know.
It's the Jews.
Sal Bucci and his group believe in a conspiracy known as the Andinia Plan, which took some plans regarding Jewish emigration to South America in the late 19th century and early 20th century and exaggerated them into being Jewish plans to take over Argentina and establish a second Jewish state there.
The theory has been a mainstay of Argentinian neo-Nazi propaganda for decades, and this Sal Bucci guy is all about it.
Sal Bucci has been denounced in 2014 by the delegation of Argentine-Israelite associations for his anti-Semitic comments, which shouldn't be surprising, considering that he seems to make a habit of being interviewed by Holocaust deniers, like this guy James Fetzer, who he got interviewed by, who once wrote, quote, My research on the Holocaust narrative suggests it's not only untrue, but probably false.
Salbucci also posted a YouTube video on his own channel entitled, quote, The Truth About the Protocols of the Sages of Zion, which unsurprisingly was not a debunking video.
I don't know all of this, but it kind of concerns me that anti-Semitism flourishes in a place where I may be incorrect in assuming this, but I feel like there are not a ton of Jews living in Argentina.
So a lot of that influence may also linger in some hyper-nationalist situations there.
And so this guy, this Adrian Salbucci, that's his flavor.
He's not an economist who wants to talk about the globalists in Alex's supposed conception of them coming in and like economic takeover and what have you.
He's a dude who believes that the Jews are trying to create another issue.
Earlier in the episode, he's like, I got this economist from Argentina coming on, let me find his bio page.
I think that during the episode, when I was saying he was teasing it a bunch and just saying it was an economist, I think that's because he didn't remember his name.
I don't think he has any fucking idea who this guy is, and unfortunately, because he hasn't done any kind of research or anything like that, he allows someone who believes in the Andinia plan to come onto his show.
