#338: March 27-28, 2013

In Knowledge Fight’s March 27-28, 2013 episode, Alex Jones promotes Professor Griff’s "Illuminati bloodlines" theory and Steve Pieczenik’s debunked Sandy Hook false flag claims—tying them to Susan Collins and a $600M contract. He rants about suppressed ancestral rituals, absurdly links Japanese vending machines to U.S. "poop bars," and alleges FBI threats over his drug-dealing critiques. Callers’ fringe theories (like J.P. Morgan’s stolen corpse) are dismissed as delusional, reinforcing Jones’ pattern of sensationalism over substance. His growing reliance on conspiracy allies foreshadows later embrace of Trump’s baseless narratives, exposing how unchecked paranoia distorts reality into self-serving fiction.

I'm a fifth pin color.
I was here today.

Knowledge fight.
Knowledgefight.com.
I love you.
dan friesen
Hey, everybody.
Welcome back to Knowledge Fight.
I'm Dan.
jordan holmes
Object.
Couple dudes.
dan friesen
Let's sit around, drink novelty beverages, and talk a little bit about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
Indeed, we are damned.
dan friesen
Jordan.
alex jones
Dan!
dan friesen
What up?
jordan holmes
What is something that you think you believed longer than you should have?
Do you know what I mean?
dan friesen
We could go with the evangelical form of Christianity that I grew up in.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
Certainly stuck around those corners a little too long.
jordan holmes
How long did you stick around there?
dan friesen
I was in pretty deep, at least for a number of years.
I don't know.
It's a little bit.
jordan holmes
15?
dan friesen
Yeah, probably.
jordan holmes
15, 16?
unidentified
15?
dan friesen
Yeah.
But I was deep.
I was deeply involved in K-Life and other church organizations, my youth group's sermon planning team.
jordan holmes
Ooh, sermon planning team?
I wasn't even that deep in there.
dan friesen
I was helping with soundboards for the youth group sermons.
jordan holmes
I did that.
I played in the youth group band.
dan friesen
I was not musically talented, but I was on the drama team.
jordan holmes
I like it.
dan friesen
We did little skits.
You did a little Jesus skits.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, I was in deep going to Camp Canacook.
jordan holmes
Barabbas, what are you up to?
dan friesen
Looking back, it was probably just as clunky as that.
But yeah, I don't know.
I think I believed in not so much.
I don't look back on believing in the religion part as negatively as much as I did the institutions and the specific church and the people around me.
I believed in that too long, for sure.
And I have also studied Alex Jones for too long.
jordan holmes
That's a great transition right there.
dan friesen
Yeah, I guess that's applicable.
But that's what this podcast is about, that I know a lot about Alex Jones.
jordan holmes
And I only know what you tell me.
dan friesen
That's right.
jordan holmes
And we both know a disturbingly similar amount about religion.
dan friesen
And camps.
Church camps.
So, Jordan, today, what we're going to be doing is we're back in the past.
We are looking at March 27th and 28th, 2013.
unidentified
Loving it.
dan friesen
And I think this is a day that will be very important.
It's only fitting that this is on a holiday.
Right.
This is Labor Day episode.
jordan holmes
The real JFK dies on March 28th, 2013.
dan friesen
That is not what happens.
jordan holmes
Not that.
dan friesen
But we will make massive progress today.
That's what I'll say while I raise my eyebrows at you.
But before we get to that, we've got to take a moment to say thank you to people who have signed up and are supporting the show.
So first of all, Rick, thank you so much.
You are now a policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
dan friesen
Thank you, Rick.
jordan holmes
Thanks, Rick.
dan friesen
Oh, boy.
jordan holmes
I can't do that, boys.
dan friesen
No, and you shouldn't.
unidentified
No.
dan friesen
Next, Ruth, thank you so much.
You are now a policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
jordan holmes
Thank you, Ruth.
dan friesen
Next, Senor Pesquasius.
Thank you so much.

dan friesen
Thank you, Monk.
jordan holmes
Thank you, Senor.
dan friesen
Next, Quinn, thank you so much.
You are now a policy wonk.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.

Thank you, Mr. Prime.
jordan holmes
Quinn, Quinn.
dan friesen
And also, thank you to the Somali Pirates.
You are all now policy wonks.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
dan friesen
Got to give it up.
unidentified
All of them.
jordan holmes
Every one of them?
dan friesen
I guess.
I mean, the Somali pirates.
jordan holmes
The Somali pirates.
unidentified
All right.
dan friesen
And then finally, I'd like to say thank you to some people who have signed up on an elevated level.
We appreciate it very much.
So, Connor, thank you so much.
Steven, thank you so much.
And Maddie Mick, thank you so much.
You are all now wonderful technocrats.
alex jones
I'm a policy wonk.
Crikey, mate, that's fantastic.
Have yourself a burdo.
How's your 401k doing, bro?
We got to go full-telt buggy on this, Watson, all right?
Let's just get down to business.
We ain't making that money off that heroin.
Why are you pimps so good?
My neck is freakishly large.
I declare info war on you.
dan friesen
Thank you so much, Connor, Steven, and Maddie Mick.
jordan holmes
Thank you very much, all three of you.
dan friesen
If you're out there listening, you're thinking I like what these dudes do, you like this show, and you could support the show if you'd like by going to our website, knowledgefight.com, clicking the button to support the show.
We would appreciate it.
jordan holmes
It'd be nice.
dan friesen
So, like I said, Jordan, big stuff here ahead of us.
This may be a shorter episode because I don't have many clips, but what we lack in bulk clips, we make up for in big time stuff.
Alex starts out the 27th by announcing two guests for that day.
One of them, not that important, the other, tremendously important.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
The first, not that important.
alex jones
Coming up today on this Wednesday, the 27th day of March 2013, worldwide broadcast.
The news websites are infowars.com.
And, of course, we're also streaming video at prisonplanet.tv.
And again, we are going to be taking your phone calls today.
Professor Griff, one of the founders of Public Enemy, was on with us a few weeks ago, and he promised to come back just to take phone calls for an hour on hip-hop, rap, and government media control of not just it, but rock and roll and other systems that are used to dominate and steer culture.
dan friesen
Not important.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
Professor Griff comes in and they talk about the 13 bloodlines of the Illuminati.
Okay.
unidentified
All right.
dan friesen
It's a lot of esoteric nonsense.
unidentified
I like it.
dan friesen
So that's not important.
jordan holmes
No, I doubt it.
dan friesen
Now, what is important is Alex's other guest.
jordan holmes
JFK.
alex jones
Now, we are also going to be talking to Steve Pieczenik today if we can get him on.
jordan holmes
What?
dan friesen
Finally, Steve Pieczenik.
jordan holmes
TVP's shown up.
dan friesen
It's taken months of listening to these episodes, but finally, Steve Pieczenik has shown up.
jordan holmes
Professor Griff and the Professor of Propaganda on the same show.
dan friesen
Two of America's most wanted.
The same motherfucking place at the same motherfucking time.
Professor Griff, Dr. Steve Pieczenik.
I have long held an opinion that Steve Pieczenik is the reason that Alex believes in the crisis actors narrative at Sandy Hook.
It has been something that I have thought about as like, well, it's probably the case.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Steve Pieczenik is somebody who has lured Alex down terrible roads repeatedly throughout his career.
And it only makes sense that, like, since we do know that he is a crisis actors guy.
jordan holmes
Oh, he loves him.
dan friesen
To the present day, even about Sandy Hook.
jordan holmes
Yeah, the only thing he doesn't believe as a crisis actor is a hurricane.
dan friesen
Yeah.
He does not, and he does not like it when you are rude.
So I have been long waiting Steve Pieczenik showing up on Alex's show in 2013 because it seems to me like that's where things are going to go bad.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
And today, March 27th, Steve Pieczenik makes his first appearance on the broadcast.
Well, not the first ever.
jordan holmes
No, no.
dan friesen
First in this timeframe.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah.
The appearance that is going to have you fists up in the air going like, I finally got one prediction right.
dan friesen
We'll see.
God damn it.
So in this episode, Alex is on some narratives.
His big one is that he's found a story in Wired about press releases and news stories written by robots.
Okay.
And how this is going to spiral out of control.
jordan holmes
Yeah, autocomplete.
dan friesen
He's like, he's against it.
jordan holmes
He has no idea.
alex jones
And a couple of years ago, we discovered stories that were out there that clearly had been written by a robot.
But now they're getting good enough where they're just going to have government press releases that are then rewritten so they're, quote, original and have the local name put on it.
And, of course, the humans will be removed there.
And that's why they've told the White House Press Corps, they even told you in Politico this, if you don't totally toe the line, if you ever make one snide comment about the White House, you will never be in the press conference.
You will never be given the press release.
Because it's all who gets the press release and the access.
And now they're saying, they said this a month ago, they may go to a virtual president where it's a hologram recording of him.
And then it'll be a full hologram composite where they just write the words.
And it's not even a recording of Obama.
It's just a video simulation.
They're going to, and by the way, this is the plan.
dan friesen
Now, it's interesting to me that, you know, Trump has kicked a lot of people out of the press room.
jordan holmes
I just wrote down one more for the list of, that guy is an authoritarian leader to, I love my authoritarian leader.
dan friesen
He's got to kick him out.
They're making snide comments.
jordan holmes
They're not making snide comments in the press box.
What are you going to do?
dan friesen
Also, this hasn't happened, but I can very easily imagine a scenario where Alex is like, of course, Trump sends a hologram to his rallies.
jordan holmes
He's too busy.
dan friesen
He's trying to save the country.
He's got to send a hologram.
jordan holmes
Also, how else is he going to realistically shake hands with Tupac?
He can't shake hands with the hologram, but the hologram can.
dan friesen
It seems like something that we are very close to Alex being completely fine with.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah, for sure.
dan friesen
I don't know how much credence there is to the idea that the plan is to make a holographic Obama.
And time has shown that that does not appear to have happened.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
Although, how would we know?
jordan holmes
Do you remember the Hall of Presidents where they're using those automatons?
unidentified
Sure.
jordan holmes
Now, one, they're going to eventually take over and control the Earth.
Naturally, the Hall of Presidents automatons will become the actual presidential hall.
And two, when they have those, when the automatons are running everything, they're going to need their own version of the automatons for people to walk.
Well, obviously, for cyborgs to walk into and see the presidents of the past.
So naturally, they're going to switch to holograms.
Obama's going to be in there.
Call it.
dan friesen
This sense.
jordan holmes
Alex nailed this one.
I'm going to give it to him 100%.
alex jones
All right.
dan friesen
Let's see if you give him this one.
He starts rambling and spiraling out.
And, you know, like the holographic president and the pre-recorded speeches and all this stuff is, you know, it's all part because the Illuminati is going to take over.
Sure.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
And you've got to fight back now for these press releases or whatever.
Because if you don't, the Illuminati will take over.
And when they do, you're dead.
jordan holmes
That sounds right.
dan friesen
Now, Alex makes this argument and then relies on what I would call shoddy evidence.
alex jones
You're not going to be allowed to go play volleyball by the beach when this all comes in.
You're going to be killed.
And they've all said that.
You're dead.
Kurzweil says you'll be like a bug.
We'll just step on you.
We won't even recognize you.
We are preparing to become God.
I don't believe in God yet.
I am going to become God.
I am going to invent God.
I am going to cybernetically merge.
And you've got all these camp followers going, yes, we're going to live forever, too.
We're going to be part of it like lemmings off a cliff.
You are not meant to travel to the next level.
Go watch the Illuminati treatise on record by the inventor of the communications satellite and so much more.
Uh-oh.
The OSS Black Op Commander, the man who wrote 2001 Space Odyssey.
unidentified
Oh, there.
alex jones
You go look at the top technocrat black ops commander and what he told you by the third 2001 book, you all take microchips and worship Lucifer.
That's the plan.
dan friesen
Okay.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
So we got the 2001 Space Odyssey books or movies, probably.
jordan holmes
All the way up to number three, which I believe is 2003 Space Odyssey.
dan friesen
Right, absolutely.
So good, evidence so far.
jordan holmes
I like that as an 80s movie villain.
No volleyball.
You die.
dan friesen
Right.
That's what I'm the option.
That's why Alex lost Top Gun.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Classic volleyball movie.
jordan holmes
Volleyball freedom movie.
dan friesen
Exactly.
jordan holmes
It's all about the freedom to volleyball.
dan friesen
Yeah.
So, I mean, that's just indicative of how all this goes.
If I cut out every single instance of Alex saying something and then being like, we know this because of the revealed plan in X science fiction movie, it would get that would be our whole show.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Quite frankly.
He does it all the fucking time and never takes into account, like, what about all the other things X person wrote?
Like, what about all these?
It's maddening.
It's maddening that the idea that this could be so clunky and still people would be like, oh, that makes sense.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
That's wild.
jordan holmes
I'm really surprised that.
Have we never had a Harrison Bergeron reference?
Or have.
dan friesen
Maybe a guest.
jordan holmes
Maybe a guest?
dan friesen
Probably a guest.
jordan holmes
It seems like it should be non-stop Harrison Bergeron references, you know?
dan friesen
Yeah, I know that I have had that thought, and it makes me think that a guest probably brought it up.
But I don't remember Alex talking about it a lot.
But in this next clip, Jordan.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So this isn't a Project Camelot episode.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
But we do get to talk about aliens a tiny bit.
unidentified
A little bit.
dan friesen
And so Carrie Cassidy over Project Camelot, she believes that the gray aliens are working for the reptilians.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
They're the little worker bees that run around and kidnap people and terrify them and all that good stuff.
jordan holmes
And the reptilians are the bad guys.
dan friesen
Well, they're the underlings of the bad guys.
Yes, gotcha.
They're not the big bad.
alex jones
Gotcha.
unidentified
Gotcha.
dan friesen
Alex has a slightly different take on gray aliens.
jordan holmes
Okay.
alex jones
Just like gray aliens in the Hollywood movies communicating with each other with computer-assisted telepathy.
The whole gray thing is a template program to condition you to accept that that's what we're going to look like in the future, and the grays are humans from the future.
That is not really real, as far as I understand it from the highest level Illuminati information.
dan friesen
What?
alex jones
And I'm laying down some hardcore info on you here today because this is the plan.
dan friesen
What the fuck?
Gray aliens and movies are an Illuminati conditioning device in order to make you think that that's what we will be in the future.
unidentified
Oh, boy.
jordan holmes
But now what I'm going to tell you right now is going to blow your mind.
That is not real.
dan friesen
Right.
Based on everything I've read of high-end Illuminati releases.
jordan holmes
And there's only one place you could get that kind of information from.
dan friesen
Arthur C. Clarke's books.
Yes.
I would love for him to provide this high-level Illuminati document or whatever.
I would love any of this to be available.
jordan holmes
I think it's Robert Highline's books, actually, is what disproves our Arthur C. Clarke's books.
dan friesen
Yeah.
alex jones
Okay.
dan friesen
Great.
So Alex, you know, he's talking about all this kind of, you know, this 2001 Space Odyssey nonsense.
The gray aliens are, you know, the Illuminati believes X, Y, or Z.
jordan holmes
But he doesn't believe this stuff.
dan friesen
He needs to give himself the veneer of rationality.
Sure.
So he always retreats behind the, I don't believe this stuff.
Look, they think they're worshiping the Illuminati do.
unidentified
I don't necessarily believe that they're communing with Satan and he's giving them plans.
dan friesen
Now, I will yell about that all the time.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
But that's just because it's what they believe.
jordan holmes
And they are.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
So he gets into a little bit of that in this next clip.
alex jones
I don't know if they're going to achieve this.
It doesn't mean I believe this.
I'm reporting as a sociologist, as an anthropologist, as a psychologist, as a historian, as a red-blooded American and a Texan who studied enemy operations, the enemy mindset, what they believe in, what they stand for, what their plan is.
Just got chills.
I, as an organic expression of humanity, which they've even predicted in their own publications, that we would arrive, and they're ready for us.
They call us gallant and beautiful people who will have to be exterminated.
They say it's painful what they have to do, but it's for a greater good after we're all gone.
That's H.G. Wells I just quoted in his book, The New World Order.
I can quote Arthur Schlesinger.
jordan holmes
Okay.
Why don't you?
You just throw it in.
dan friesen
A little brag.
jordan holmes
Hey, I can quote other people too.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
Can't quote Thomas Jefferson, though, I'll tell you that right now.
dan friesen
Can't with any consistency.
So this is a reference to that same quote that Alex misuses from H.G. Wells' book, The New World Order, all the time.
He misuses it constantly.
It's almost as if he only read this one paragraph of that book, not understood it, and decided to base a lot of his ideas about the world and the globalists on that misunderstanding.
In discussing how he observed the world was generally trending towards greater social democracy, H.G. Wells says, quote, nor does it alter the fact that even when the struggle seems to be drifting definitely towards a world social democracy, there may still be very great delays and disappointments before it becomes an efficient and beneficient world system.
Countless people from Maharajas to millionaires and from puka sahibs to pretty ladies will hate the new world order, be rendered unhappy by frustration of their passions and ambitions through its advent and will die protesting against it.
When we attempt to estimate its promise, we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant and graceful looking people.
The list of people he's saying will be against social democracy are the very top of the prevailing social hierarchy, the millionaires, kings, colonialists, and aristocrats.
When Wells makes reference to gallant and graceful looking people, he's expressing a feeling that monsters are not always grotesque and often actually beautiful.
Alex seems to think that the passage is about himself and that Wells is expressing a sense that eventually patriots would show up to counter these nefarious plans he's putting out and that these patriots would be gallant and really hot.
And that fits perfectly in with Alex's self-designed mythology, but it doesn't match with the point Wells is making at all.
Much like Alex's interpretation of scripture, this is an act of esegesis.
And it only makes sense if you understand that Alex read this paragraph trying to find support for the things that he already believed.
This pattern, along with tons of other behaviors, make Alex a terrible sociologist, terrible anthropologist, terrible psychologist, and terrible historian, which are all labels he has no business giving himself.
This is nonsense.
jordan holmes
The biggest one that was missing is literary critic.
He doesn't really – it's kind of amazing how much credit he gives himself for everything but the one thing that could be applied to this particular circumstance.
dan friesen
I'm a sociologist, a psychologist, a historian, an anthropologist.
I am also illiterate functionally.
jordan holmes
No, but we could put you into English one.
Like, that'd be great.
dan friesen
So I just find that to be so fascinating on a very minute level.
You know, that H.G. Wells, they talked about how the opposing forces will eventually show up and that they'll be beautiful and gallant and heroic, and it sucks they have to kill all of us, but it has to be done.
It's completely out of line with what Wells is expressing.
jordan holmes
It is also, however, him existing within exactly what H.G. Wells was expressing.
He is that millionaire who is going to die miserably.
dan friesen
But when H.G. Wells wrote that millionaire meant a lot different than it did in the present day, Alex is ascribing to himself that high social status that he probably doesn't merit.
Like, compared to Maharajas and millionaires at the time of that book's writing, he's nowhere near that level.
No.
He fancies himself to be in that conversation.
jordan holmes
But I mean, in that level was also like pretty ladies.
dan friesen
Well, the pretty ladies also has a specific connotation.
jordan holmes
I know.
dan friesen
Like high-end socialites.
unidentified
Right.
dan friesen
Aristocrats.
jordan holmes
Anyways, the point is that he's not just a guy with malcontent.
dan friesen
Yes.
jordan holmes
Fighting against the very thing that would improve his life.
dan friesen
That is true.
That seems to be inevitable.
jordan holmes
Jesus.
dan friesen
So Alex takes some calls here on this show, and he gets a caller who wants to talk about how the Catholic Church wants his guns.
And then at the end of this, if you listen very carefully, he gives a citation for some of his beliefs, and it's deeply troubling.
unidentified
Nobody I know of so far has responded to an article that of February 25th.
It's an article in either Tramerica or Catholic America magazine.
They have an article in their 25th of February issue.
They actually have an article in there that I read that they are calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment.
And I've heard nobody respond to the Vatican or Rome doing this or any other religious.
alex jones
It is actually, I did see that.
I saw some Catholic publication.
I actually search-engined it because I scanned through XM, and they had like a Catholic channel on there, and I just stopped and listened to it.
And they were talking about a Vatican release that, yeah, that the Second Amendment.
There it is.
Repeal the Second Amendment, the National Catholic Review.
And that's, isn't that the official Catholic public?
unidentified
Yes, it is.
And also, over the years, Rome hates the American Constitution.
Sure.
And it's proven also by, if you ever can get a hold of it through maybe chick publications called 50 Years in the Church of Rome by Father Jack Chenick.
alex jones
Guys, do me a favor, print me that article, because I actually did see that.
dan friesen
I don't know if Alex did actually scan around on XM and find a Catholic channel, but this isn't like a fake thing.
This actually is real.
It was an op-ed published in the Catholic magazine America, where the author posited that the best way, possibly the only way, that this country was going to ever have sensible gun laws is if we repeal the Second Amendment.
This wasn't necessarily a call to outright ban guns.
It's more of a realization that the Second Amendment absolutely gets in the way of any conversation about guns.
So possibly, if it were gone, we would be able to have a rational debate where people were still able to preserve their rights to self-defense and gun ownership, but we would also be able to fix some of the problems that have come along with the ubiquity of guns.
jordan holmes
Man, Catholics believe some weird shit.
dan friesen
Yeah.
It's kind of a sensible position, possibly a bit controversial to come from a religious magazine, but definitely not something I would call scandalous.
The writer of the editorial even grappled with the reluctance of people to alter laws, particularly ones in the Constitution.
But ultimately, those are just laws written by and passed by humans.
If they were passed in one circumstance and those circumstances change, it makes sense to consider changing the laws.
jordan holmes
No!
dan friesen
Good rebuttal.
unidentified
Thank you.
dan friesen
Probably more troubling to me in that call is the fact that the caller is also citing a book that is put out by Chick Publications, The Business Run by Jack Chick.
He's the guy who puts out those little cartoon pamphlets full of gross and grotesque depictions of Christian fundamentalist ideas.
It's pretty clear that these publications.
jordan holmes
There it is.
Now it makes sense.
Now I gotcha.
It's all there now.
dan friesen
Those exist primarily and almost exclusively to scare the shit out of children about how they're going to hell if they stray from the fundamentalist path.
Chick tracts run the gamut of Christian issues.
You're going to hell if you get an abortion.
You're going to go to hell if you have sex.
You're going to go to hell if you do drugs.
All the stuff you'd expect.
But Jack Chick was also a rabid anti-Catholic.
He constantly rails on Vatican conspiracies in his work.
So this article is being brought up.
It is a real article, making a point that it would be easy for Alex to manipulate into being the Catholic Church and this new Pope that we just got, they all want his guns to be seized.
jordan holmes
The Pope writes every article for this magazine.
dan friesen
100%.
It's worth pointing out that the sort of people interested in discussing the article in this way, from my perspective here, it seems to be someone who's also into Jack Chick, which is pretty bad.
That is a bad sign.
jordan holmes
That's not good.
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
That's not good.
Have you heard, have you read the one about calling into propagandist white nationalist radio shows?
dan friesen
It ends well.
It really does.
jordan holmes
Everybody's flying.
dan friesen
Weirdly, it's the only positive chick track.
jordan holmes
Nothing scares children less than wanting to call into radio shows.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So Alex has about an hour with Professor Griff, and it's fundamentally not worth going over.
It's mostly about a book that was written by a guy who professes to be former MI6.
I can find no confirmation of this.
jordan holmes
Sure.
dan friesen
And he has a bunch of shit about the Illuminati, and it's based on the other stuff I've heard Professor Griff cite in past appearances.
I don't even want to get into it.
I just let them talk, have fun, guys.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
Because I had bigger fish.
And my bigger fish is the man, the myth, Steve Pieczenik.
So most of the interview is actually pretty boring.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
Alex wanted to have him on to talk about how the bin Laden killing was fake.
Right.
And how SEAL Team Six ain't no thing.
jordan holmes
They've got nothing on Alex.
dan friesen
Right.
It didn't happen.
Osama bin Laden's been dead forever.
And that was what Alex wanted to have him on to talk about.
Steve, however, had other things on his mind.
Namely, that Zero Dark 30 sucks.
jordan holmes
Fair.
Fair.
dan friesen
He's very mad about Zero Dark 30.
jordan holmes
Heavily fair.
dan friesen
And I don't think we really need to get into that either.
That's sort of a film review.
jordan holmes
I like Catherine Bigelow, but I'm going to have to give it two thumbs down, Dan.
dan friesen
Fair enough.
So towards the end of their interview, what do you know?
Sandy Hook comes up.
Surprise.
And here is Steve Pachenic talking about Sandy Hook.
steve pieczenik
I told you, and I didn't tell you, but you said it very clearly.
dan friesen
That is very important.
jordan holmes
I told you.
dan friesen
I didn't tell you.
jordan holmes
No, no, no.
I did not tell you.
dan friesen
I told you.
I didn't tell you.
jordan holmes
I didn't tell you.
You told you and me the thing that I'm saying to you right now.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
That you have not heard before.
dan friesen
Whoops.
unidentified
You told me that thing that I am about to tell you.
jordan holmes
Uh-oh.
steve pieczenik
I told you, and I didn't tell you, but you said it very clearly.
There's no question in my mind after I examined Sandy Hook that Sandy Hook was a total false flag.
There was no individual involved.
There wasn't a Hasburgers.
There wasn't 24 kids that were killed.
There was a woman by the name of Susan Collins with a $600 million contract that writes about wars called Hunger Games and post-Apophyllistic events.
And she didn't say a damn word.
It's a place where I know very well because I train in Greenwich, Connecticut.
The first responders to the New York Times said they have PTSD.
Well, they are the only ones I know who are Irish Catholic, have PTSD, and has increased in union pension because of the non-existent war.
alex jones
Well, they also caught SWAT team people in the woods and then said it never happened, though we have the video and now the arrest record.
steve pieczenik
And the problem is we're having false flags repeatedly with this president in order to justify expansion of executive power.
alex jones
Listen, we're out of time, but I got you coming on and saying, it's a false flags, big.
When can you come back on this week or next week for a full hour?
steve pieczenik
I'm on any day you want and every day, as long as America understand, we now have to fight.
dan friesen
So that's pretty blunt.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
He is very much the crisis actor narrative being expressed on Alex's show.
No kids died.
Nothing happened.
jordan holmes
None of it's all fake.
dan friesen
And I know this because Susan Collins wrote The Hunger Games and she's from Newtown.
jordan holmes
Yeah, that one, I heard him say Susan Collins in the Hunger Games, and I was like, there's no reason that he would throw that in there.
And then in the back of my mind, I was like, oh, shit, that's right.
They brought the Hunger Games into calling Sandy Hook as fake.
What are you guys doing?
dan friesen
And it seems to be very primary.
I know.
That's what Steve's coming up with first as his, like, this is what's fucked up.
jordan holmes
Obviously, Susan Collins.
dan friesen
Yeah, that's not good.
So on February 12th, 2013, Steve Pieczenik posted a blog entry where he's very explicit that all the people involved in Sandy Hook were actors.
I can say with certainty that at least by that point, February 12th, Steve is absolutely advancing this narrative.
His theory seems to be rooted in the fact that he credits himself as an author of Tom Clancy's books, so he knows a bit about fiction writing.
The story of Sandy Hook struck him as a poorly written piece of fiction.
So when he found out that Susan Collins, the author of The Hunger Games, was from Newtown, he put two and two together and decided this explains everything.
Suffice it to say, this is not convincing stuff.
Tracing back to January 22nd, Steve posted on his blog, quote, I'll be posting later tonight, but here's some homework if you're interested.
Something does not smell right about this Sandy Hook thing.
Inconsistencies keep nagging me, especially when I start comparing them to other events in recent history.
Dot, dot, dot.
unidentified
Hmm.
dan friesen
Who does that sound like?
jordan holmes
Huh?
dan friesen
The way Alex constantly compares Sandy Hook and all of his feelings about it to Aurora?
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
An event from recent history.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
I don't know.
It seems weird.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
I have every reason to suspect that Alex knows what Steve believes.
At this point, Steve has been publicly accusing the survivors and victims of Sandy Hook of being actors, and he's someone Alex knows and respects.
It just doesn't track the idea that Alex would think that Steve is a hero, an intelligence operations veteran who's working for the Patriots, who has a blog where he lays out his analysis of current affairs, and then Alex doesn't read that blog?
It's possible, but if that's the case, then it's a really good piece of evidence that Alex doesn't do nearly the amount of preparation that he wants you to believe he does.
If you read the discovery request in the lawsuit that Alex is facing for his Sandy Hook coverage, a couple of things stick out.
There are obvious pieces of things that they're looking for, like requests for all the materials involving Sandy Hook, the word crisis actors, anything involving Wolfgang Halbeg.
That's what you'd expect.
But then, when you get to item number three, the plaintiffs request, quote, all documents and/or communications between you and any of the following individuals or anyone acting on their behalf concerning any of the topics listed.
There are only two names on that list: James Tracy isn't on there.
Wolfgang Halbeg isn't on that list.
It's only Steve Pieczenik and Jonathan Reich.
Reich was a 26-year-old dude who got arrested for harassing Sandy Hook families as well as the county medical examiner.
He hasn't shown up on Alex's show or had any mention.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
But also, I think that's because he doesn't get arrested until May, if I recall correctly.
In March, there may not be any reason for Alex to know who he is.
There's a longer list in item number four of requests for communications regarding appearances on InfoWars, which includes both of those two dudes and some of the other likely suspects, like Ted Anderson and Wolfgang Helbig.
But Reich and Steve Pieczenik are the only two people who the plaintiffs requested all communications concerning the covered topic.
Based on what I've been able to suss out from listening back to these episodes, it appears that the plaintiffs may have the same working theory that I'm coming to, namely that Steve is communicating with Alex behind the scenes and it's leading to a shift in his coverage.
That's still a little bit of a theory from my position, but this is not nothing.
When Paul Joseph Watson interviewed James Tracy about the crisis actor theory a little while back, they were at least trying to be explicit about not endorsing his ideas.
Paul Joseph Watson had to list off a ton of disclaimers and caveats about how he doesn't agree with this guy.
Now, not too much longer after this point, we have our first instance of someone saying that the victims and survivors were all actors with no pushback and actually excitement from Alex.
And that someone is Steve Pieczenik.
Other than like a stray caller that Alex might have gotten, no one has expressed this theory on the show.
And anyone who has has gotten at least some performative pushback.
Alex is thrilled with Steve bringing this up now.
It almost gives him the ability to cover this now because Steve is giving him that.
And I'll say this: if you go back and you look at a bunch of these blogs that are sort of aligned with Patriot ideas and stuff, the day after this, there are tons of articles about Steve Pieczenik appearing on Alex's show and saying that Sandy Hook was fake.
Gotcha.
So the idea that Alex had a hand in really amplifying and legitimizing these ideas, if this is the beginning of it and the kernel of it, he presents Steve Pieczenik as an absolute expert in everything.
He's overthrown governments.
He's a psyop expert.
jordan holmes
He's been all over.
dan friesen
He knows everything.
He was part of the CFR, but he left because he was disgusted.
Having him on, allowing this to be said uncritically and with no pushback, and in fact, celebration of Steve's comments, does a massive piece of work in terms of legitimizing the crisis actors theory.
The role that Alex plays, even if it is a little bit delayed, inasmuch as these theories are floating around on the internet in conspiracy forums, I mean, almost immediately.
Yeah, this piece of work is terrible.
This does a severe amount of damage.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
Well, now, I'm kind of waffling because I didn't know that Steve Pieczenik's theory hinged upon him having written for Tom Clancy.
dan friesen
He was a ghostwriter.
unidentified
Right.
jordan holmes
Now.
dan friesen
Ghostwriter.
jordan holmes
I wouldn't believe that, but just about everybody who's ever written a book has ghostwritten one book for Tom Clancy.
So if that part is true, then I can only assume that Susan Collins wrote the whole Sandy Hook narrative, right?
Because if A is true, then B must be true as well.
dan friesen
It's shoddy stuff.
And one of the other things that I've learned from this, like looking at Steve's blog, is that he does not write how he talks.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
When he's on Alex's show, it's very controlled, measured.
There's almost a, I don't know, there's an elevation to the way he's speaking.
On his blog, it's just full of bold letters and all caps and like pictures of like Photoshop pictures of Rahm and Obama in like homosexual attire.
jordan holmes
Gotcha.
dan friesen
You know, like it's a ludicrous blog.
Yeah.
Like to only know Steve from his appearances on Alex's show, you go and read these rambling, nonsensical blog posts, poorly formatted, just full of shit.
It's very weird.
It calls into question how much of his presentation on Alex's show is a put-on in order to make him seem more rational and more reliable as a source, as opposed to where he has full control over what he's putting out.
jordan holmes
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
dan friesen
It's a little bit crazier.
jordan holmes
Once he stops having an audience that he can see visually, the tinfoil hat comes out and we start tossing around real kinds of wild shit.
dan friesen
Maybe, maybe.
So I don't know.
That was troubling to me.
That was troubling.
And here's Alex saying he wants Steve to come back on about this.
alex jones
Sure, StevePachenek.com.
Alex Jones here with InfoWars.com.
Amazing info.
I want to get you back on about Sandy Hook and other false flags and how to fight back sometime this week or next week.
We'll set it up right now.
Thank you very much, Dr. Steve Pachenick.
I'm Alex Jones.
You talk about hardcore radio.
This is it.
dan friesen
Is it?
That looks bad in hindsight.
I would definitely say that that's a bit not good.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, in many ways, his show is going to be far more hardcore as time goes on.
dan friesen
Yeah, that is true.
This is hardcore to an extent.
Yeah.
jordan holmes
This is very norm core in 2013.
We don't even consider this being out there anymore.
dan friesen
Yeah, yeah.
I'm thinking about this, and like the experience of listening to this is so surreal to me because with the awareness that I know that the Boston bombing is happening, so many of Alex's narratives weave so perfectly into that confluence of events.
I just see trains about to run into each other and I can see it.
You can't stop it.
There's nothing you could do.
It happened in the past.
And it's just, I'm getting really anxious about how this is going to play out.
jordan holmes
You're worried about how it's going to go?
dan friesen
A little bit, yeah.
Yeah.
It's troubling to me.
jordan holmes
Oh, God, we can never get you a time machine.
dan friesen
No, no.
jordan holmes
You would be a disaster.
dan friesen
Yeah, probably.
So that's the end of the 27th.
Alex has Steve on for the, you know, that brings us to the end of the episode.
And he has clearly articulated that Sandy Hook was actors.
It was totally fake.
And it's, you know, I was really wondering, is like March 28th now, is this going to be floodgates open?
And the first hour of the show is just Alex saying he's going to take calls all day.
The whole show.
All the show.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
Then he rambles about nothing.
He's just going on and on about how he's not a fear monger and all that kind of standard shit that he yells about.
I honestly kind of think he's vamping because it really feels like he wanted to go to calls because he hadn't prepared for the show, but no one was calling in.
unidentified
Oh, man.
dan friesen
But it's also possible that he fell into his very standard and uninspired fugue state that he gets into, where he just like bah pontificates about whatever.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
It's honestly one of the worst episodes of this show that I've ever had to listen to.
It's just so bland.
jordan holmes
Really?
dan friesen
It's so bland.
It's so petty.
It's so manipulative.
It is a very lame, sensational, certainly, but just tough to get through.
jordan holmes
Man.
dan friesen
So the first whole hour is just like a no man's land.
Doesn't get to calls.
jordan holmes
I think if Steve Pieczenik was writing Alex's character in a Tom Clancy book, I imagine every line of dialogue would have an ironic adverb at the end of it, like, I'm not a fear monger, he said fear-mongeringly.
Like, that's the only way you could write that character.
dan friesen
Yeah, I'm not a fear-monger.
Now, granted, they're going to take away all your food.
Yeah, exactly.
jordan holmes
You're going to die.
No volleyball for anyone.
dan friesen
Oh, boy.
So Alex gets into some race memory stuff at the beginning in his ramble hour that he's.
And I think in this next clip, Alex kind of admits that he's just making this stuff up.
unidentified
Okay.
Okay.
alex jones
Let me tell you something.
Shoot an animal with a bow, you slit its throat to bleed it out so that the meat doesn't spoil, you butcher it yourself, you cook it yourself, you're thinking about that animal while you're eating it.
And it's activating synapses and instincts in your mind of the entire human experience.
You don't need to do that to connect to your race memories.
You can do it by digging in the dirt.
You can do it by planting seeds and then watering plants.
And just doing that will open up.
And I've never read this.
I know this.
I'm sure someone's written it because any truth you've already found self-evident, others as well, activates and literally communicates with your soul.
dan friesen
I've never read any of this.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
It's just an idea I've got.
jordan holmes
Nope.
No.
Rejected.
Refuse.
dan friesen
Simultaneously, Alex will say that science has proven all of this stuff.
Like the stuff about literal connections, the ancestors.
I don't believe that.
I do believe that he's just making this stuff up.
And it's maybe an experience that he's had with his weird brain of eating a kill.
I certainly find it pretty fascinating how plants grow.
Now that I've grown some of these plants, watching them come from like little seedlings to almost full-grown plants.
It's pretty wild to think that it was just a tiny little seed and now, ha ha, plant.
I could see how if I had a very, very weird brain, I could really turn that into some sort of a transcendent experience.
unidentified
I don't think you have to have that weird of a brain.
dan friesen
It's a little new agey.
It's a little hippy-dippy.
unidentified
It is.
dan friesen
Alex is a little bit.
jordan holmes
Well, he is at Dungeons and Dragons playing cosplay nerds.
dan friesen
Do we know that?
jordan holmes
No, but I mean, I thought about it.
dan friesen
No one's written it down.
jordan holmes
Nobody's written it down, but if somebody's thought about it, then that means that somebody's written it down.
That's how the human experiments work.
dan friesen
Any truth that is self-evident.
jordan holmes
Man, this dude.
dan friesen
Yep.
So he's, you know, you've got to hunt.
You've got to grow plants in order to connect to your ancestors, which is true just because it's true.
Sure.
jordan holmes
Somebody's written about it.
dan friesen
But the globalists don't want you to do that.
That's why they put rules in place about hunting and agriculture, I guess.
GMOs, I assume.
Sure.
But it's not only that.
There's also rites of passage that they're disrupting.
jordan holmes
Of course.
dan friesen
And in this next clip, Alex fakes crying while discussing how his crying is always very real, which is another sort of theme in his show.
jordan holmes
I'm not fake crying, he said fake cryingly.
dan friesen
This is not the first time I've heard him fake crying and address that he's not faking.
Which makes me think he's absolutely fake.
jordan holmes
Oh, of course.
dan friesen
But I'll let you be the judge.
alex jones
Going through the rituals of combat, going through the rituals of fighting when you're a young man.
That's why they want to make it illegal.
Put you in prison.
That unlocks the synapses.
That is the rites of passage.
That's why the social engineers, I'm giving you the deepest truths here, want to destroy all the ancient covenants and all the ancient rituals of humanity.
It is to break the genetic encoding recordings that are in the DNA from our ancestors.
And the chills I feel when I talk about this is losing all of that information.
You know, when I cry sometimes, people say it's fake and it's not because I could feel the death of the connection to our ancestors.
And everything that's going to come in the future, it's the end of humanity.
And a horrible abomination.
And I feel all of our ancestors crying out against us.
That we awaken and have strength against this.
That we rise above the robot class.
That we break our chains and transcend the technocracy and take to the stars and our true destiny.
dan friesen
It's going to be hard to kill deers and plant seeds in space.
jordan holmes
Ah, you don't know that.
dan friesen
In a spaceship, we will lose all connection with our ancestors.
jordan holmes
Well, yeah, obviously.
dan friesen
Okay.
All right.
jordan holmes
I haven't seen fake crying that bad since Gwyneth Paltrow in literally any movie she's been in.
dan friesen
Why does he not care about tribal cultures?
jordan holmes
I don't care.
dan friesen
If he's so into this connection with ancestors, shouldn't he respect it in non-white populations?
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
They had a more, they had in I honestly, if he was going to dig in deep and just do a bunch of ayahuasca and dig inside of himself, I would almost guarantee that somewhere inside there, he resents native tribal populations for having more of a connection to Earth than he thinks he does.
dan friesen
Hey, man, that's an interesting thought that may be in there somewhere.
jordan holmes
It's somewhere in there.
dan friesen
It's too bad that Alex only does ayahuasca once a year to check on the potency.
Soros is messing with it.
Yeah, I think that that's ludicrous.
Such fake crying.
And then additionally, like, hey, Alex, you know why people don't want people fighting?
It's generally assault.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Yeah, I think that you're infringing on people's right to not be beaten up.
jordan holmes
Yeah, they want to outlaw fighting.
Fighting, Dan, in the street where we always do it.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
Next thing you know, we're going to be getting rid of these horse-drawn carriages.
It's all going to be a nightmare.
dan friesen
Ludicrous.
So Alex is rambling.
He's completely untethered from any kind of semblance of his show being a show.
Like, it really does.
I can't stress this enough.
It feels like he doesn't have another option.
Like, there aren't anybody calling in.
He has no news to cover because he didn't do any work.
I feel that way.
And maybe part of it was this is me writing a story.
So don't take this as any kind of truth.
But he had Steve Pieczenik on the day before, and he has dropped this bombshell that no one died at Sandy Hook.
And Alex is pretty excited about that.
Maybe he's completely freaked out for the rest of the day.
You know, can't sleep.
Just too excited about the possibilities of, I have an expert who's a part of my show's whack pack, who's ready to go this mile.
We could tap into this market now, and I have some plausible deniability that it's Steve saying this.
jordan holmes
We're just having discussions.
dan friesen
Or I can say, like, if anybody challenges me, I can point to credible expert Steve Pieczenik.
I'm just going based on what the experts are saying.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
So maybe that's what it is.
But whatever the case is, there's just nothing in this period.
But this made me laugh pretty hard.
Alex makes a claim that, man, just think about this in the context of like he's still doing his show six years after this and screaming all the time about his enemies.
alex jones
Those of you deceived by this, I don't even hate you anymore.
And in a way, a warm friend has left me.
Because hate is a warm thing.
I always fought the globalists because I have love, and that's my main engine, but there was always a nice strata of hatred.
And now it's not even hatred.
I am disgusted by these people.
dan friesen
He's transcended his hatred towards the globalists and their minions.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I remember that's one of my favorite Emily Dickinson poetry songs, poems.
dan friesen
Poetry songs?
jordan holmes
Hate is a thing with feathers.
I'm pretty sure that you can get past it.
dan friesen
It is a warm thing.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't believe that.
I don't think there's any credence to Alex's ideas.
I have gotten over my hate.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
I think that's crazy.
But it's also like, I think that's funny just as an idea that he thinks that he's there.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
But then it's also really funny.
This is what he's doing instead of taking calls.
Like, you wouldn't do that if you had calls to go to when you've already.
This is 40 minutes into his show.
Like, he has every reason to not spend time pretending he's reached a Zen state in his battle.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's pretty crazy.
But he does get some calls.
And there's one guy who calls in.
And it's interesting because Alex, on our last recent present-day episode, Alex said that he was going to come into a studio and talk about what's at the bottom of the rabbit hole.
jordan holmes
Yes.
dan friesen
I remember this caller in 2013 wants to know what's at the bottom of the rabbit hole.
jordan holmes
Is he literally calling in, like, what the fuck, dude?
You see, you gave us the rabbit hole thing.
dan friesen
No, no, no, because this is six years in the past.
jordan holmes
Oh, shit.
I am losing my ability to tell the difference between time.
dan friesen
Because in the present day, Alex dropped the ball and fumbled on his plan to tell you about the bottom of the rabbit hole.
steve pieczenik
Yes.
dan friesen
This caller in 2013 is like, Alex, what's at the bottom of the rabbit hole?
Yeah.
You've got to let us know.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
Like, you talk all the time about these horrors and these terrible things.
What are you talking about?
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
Alex has no answer for him.
He rambles a bit.
But then I think he feels like, well, I got to do something.
I got to give some answer.
Man, it's a wild answer.
This is what's at the bottom of the rabbit hole, John.
alex jones
Okay.
I appreciate your call.
You know what's at the rabbit hole?
At the bottom of the rabbit hole, right before you hit the bottom in total implosion, mass death, you see what you see in Japan.
It's now taken over the whole culture.
Bloomberg reported last year.
I already knew about this, never talked about it, but since it's in Bloomberg, I'll talk about it.
The number one seller in the country outside of baby diapers, it surpassed that is adult diapers.
Not for an aging population.
Japanese that were always into cleanliness and the cleanest people in the world, they like to desecrate themselves and poop in their pants.
And in vending machines everywhere, I was talking to Mancow about this as he goes to Japan twice a year, you know, for shows and things he does.
And there's vending machines everywhere with, if you've got kids listening, don't have them listen right now.
With underwear with full loads in them.
You know, that's a baked potato fully loaded.
And with a picture of the woman who did it.
And supplanting the major bars everywhere.
It will soon be the dominant bar.
Is bars where you go in and people defecate on you.
Now, that happened in Sodom and Gomorrah.
It happened everywhere else.
When you get to that point, the next point is mass human sacrifice, burning cities, and total Satan worship.
jordan holmes
That's quick.
alex jones
And then plagues and disease and everyone just stumbling around drinking blood.
I mean, that's why everybody's into zombies now.
And that's why, because you know that's next, okay?
And it's happened hundreds of times in history.
And now poop bars are all over the United States.
jordan holmes
Poop bars.
alex jones
And eating poop.
And you're not trending if you don't do it.
And you're hurting people's civil rights.
Wow.
dan friesen
That's what's at the bottom of the rabbit hole.
jordan holmes
You know, it's almost like the president is asking questions, and then we go back to the past and get the answer to those questions.
And we're like, man, I wish we didn't get that answer.
dan friesen
Yeah, there's an interesting dialogue that's happening across temporal space.
This is pretty fucking stupid, I would say.
jordan holmes
Oh, you know what's at the bottom of the rabbit hole?
dan friesen
Japanese people get a lot of people.
jordan holmes
Ah, Dan, Japanese people getting pooped off.
Is that what you wanted to hear?
dan friesen
Yep, that's the bottom of the rabbit hole.
And his evidence for this is that the Japanese have vending machines where they sell diapers that are fully loaded.
jordan holmes
Fully loaded, like Herbie.
dan friesen
This is obviously an exaggeration of the whole used panty vending machine thing, and Alex is adding details in to make it sound more grotesque and fit his worldview.
Of course, I read an interesting article on the website Tech in Asia, where they look into the whole thing to get to the bottom of what's real and what's, well, kind of based on racist ideas and urban myths about Japanese people.
As it turns out, the machines advertise, quote, used underwear, but the actual Japanese text is saying that they're manufactured to appear used, similar to pre-distressed genes.
The website theorizes that non-native speakers see the word used on the machine and they come to their own conclusions.
Whereas if you actually speak Japanese, you wouldn't make the same mistake.
Which tracks neatly with Alex saying that he got this information from Mankow, who was visiting and he doesn't speak Japanese.
He probably just saw used on the machines.
He's like, oh my God, people shit in those.
jordan holmes
Virulent, racist Mankow.
dan friesen
The article determines that most of the stuff you hear about this sort of thing is based on urban myth.
I can also find no evidence that there are poop bars all over the United States.
jordan holmes
Poop bars?
dan friesen
And that anyone considers that a civil rights issue.
jordan holmes
If you found evidence, we would have to close our poop bars, Dan.
Oh, shit.
Did I just tell you?
unidentified
Fuck!
dan friesen
Oh, no.
jordan holmes
Damn it.
dan friesen
I mean, you know.
jordan holmes
Got to text Maggie and have her close up shop.
dan friesen
The issue about this sort of thing is like, yes, there are people who have, you know, indulge in some sort of a kink that other people would find disgusting.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
I'm not super interested in myself.
jordan holmes
But not going to watch a video.
But you have fun.
dan friesen
That's not unique to Japan.
It's not certainly reached a pandemic level.
jordan holmes
No, not yet.
dan friesen
It doesn't seem to be an escalation towards blood drinking, zombification, and cities burning.
jordan holmes
You know, and even, well, actually, I would say that a good sociologist could make the argument that by repressing all these kinks, we wind up leaning closer to the blood drinking and assassinating people for no reason kind of shit.
dan friesen
Maybe.
I'm not entirely sure on the literature on that, but it does seem like some feelings you have about it might lead you to that conclusion.
I don't know.
I think that this is crazy.
First of all, just because the information that Alex is going on is obviously bad.
jordan holmes
Racist Man Cow.
dan friesen
The second piece of it is, when pressed about what's at the bottom of the rabbit hole, that's what he's got.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
That's crazy.
Japanese, the top seller, doesn't specify what that even means.
The top seller in Japan is diapers for people to shit in.
jordan holmes
Top seller.
dan friesen
Because they all love defiling themselves and desecrating themselves.
jordan holmes
He even went so far as to say desecrating.
He didn't say defecating.
The thing about that you hear, though, is that that was just a toddler tantrum.
You know, like his explanation: all right, you know what?
If you want to know what's at the bottom of the rabbit hole, it's Japanese people pooping on their pants.
Is that what you wanted to hear from me?
Yeah, that's what I hear from you.
dan friesen
Don't let your kids hear this.
jordan holmes
Yeah, what I hear from that is like him just being like, why are you fucking asking me this question?
You know I'm not going to give you an answer.
dan friesen
You know that what I've got is ludicrous.
alex jones
Yeah.
dan friesen
Why are you pressing me for specifics and making me look like I don't give specifics?
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
That is rude of you.
jordan holmes
You are failing this contract that we have where I say stuff that you can't prove and you don't ask me.
dan friesen
Right.
And then you call in and you amplify the things I say and make money.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
So, I don't know.
I would say I'm going to just say this is absurd.
And the more specifics Alex gives, the more you realize nothing is based on anything.
Nope.
This is absurd bullshit about people eating poo and it being a civil rights issue.
It is.
Okay.
So Alex rambles a bit more, and he ends up telling the story of why his family moved to Austin from Rockwall.
jordan holmes
All right.
We walked by this vending machine once.
Right.
dan friesen
Fully loaded baked potatoes.
jordan holmes
Fully loaded baked potatoes.
dan friesen
That's not the story.
jordan holmes
Okay.
dan friesen
I don't believe this story.
unidentified
Okay.
dan friesen
But it does fit Alex's mythology really well.
And so he would never give an inch on this, I'm sure.
alex jones
I lived in Rockwall, and a couple FBI agents who were corrupt had moved in the neighborhood to houses that they had seized in drug raids.
And then I even had some of them come around.
They started messing with my parents.
This is why we haven't told the whole story.
While we moved out of Dallas, my dad sold the dental office he had and things.
And he'd come by.
He'd see me at the local community pool or something.
He's like, Alex, you think you're a real smart young kid like you, good-looking guy, got a future, and all the rest of it.
And he'd sit there and lean with his trophy wife beside him at the pool, and he'd go, you just better watch what happens to you, what you've been talking about.
And I went, oh, you know about the local police and how I've been saying they're drug dealers because I've seen them do it.
unidentified
And he goes, you just watch your butt, boy.
alex jones
And then our lawyer called us and said he got the call from the city, they're going to kill me.
That's America.
That's what America is, okay?
And all of us are these naive shee.
dan friesen
That's absurd.
His lawyer got a call that the FBI agents or the police department had put out the word, we're going to go kill little Alex.
jordan holmes
Excuse me, this is Dallas City Hall.
unidentified
Can I talk to Alex Jones or David Jones' lawyer, please, real quick?
dan friesen
Hello.
jordan holmes
Is this you?
David Jones.
We just wanted to give you a heads up, let you know that.
dan friesen
You're going to kill yourself.
jordan holmes
This is just a professional courtesy.
We are going to have to kill your son.
dan friesen
Your son is been annoying us.
jordan holmes
So you will, you know what?
And actually, I'm not supposed to do this, but the order hasn't been signed by the governor yet.
unidentified
Oh.
jordan holmes
He's involved.
dan friesen
Right, absolutely.
jordan holmes
And then the president, we're going to have to send it to him.
dan friesen
There is a little bit of lag time.
jordan holmes
You got to leave.
Get out of here.
dan friesen
I don't believe this.
I also don't believe.
Now there's federal involvement.
There's FBI agents in the main.
jordan holmes
Well, that's why they're all about states' rights.
dan friesen
But I don't think the FBI made them move.
I don't think moving to Austin would help.
If they have told a lawyer that they're going to kill Alex, moving a couple hours away doesn't seem like it's going to be a insurmountable distance.
They're the federal Bureau of Investigation.
jordan holmes
Insurmountable difference.
dan friesen
There's no jurisdictional issue for them in terms of their murder of a child.
This is ludicrous.
jordan holmes
Austin has no extradition laws, I guess.
dan friesen
Even if this story was believable on its own, that as the solution to the problem, it makes less sense.
It's how a kid would interpret things.
It could be the sort of story that you tell yourself when your parents, like you're getting in trouble at school, so they want to move, change environments because you're a piece of shit, kid.
Maybe a change of scenery will change all sorts of outcomes.
Maybe there's bad influences at that school.
Maybe he's running with a bad crowd.
You can maybe finesse things in your own mind to tell yourself a different story of what actually happened.
And I think that Alex has decided that this false version of the story that he tells is the reality because that never did not happen.
jordan holmes
Absolutely did not.
dan friesen
I would believe that a cop probably sassed him at a pool once.
jordan holmes
Maybe.
dan friesen
I could see that.
I don't know.
jordan holmes
Shut up, kid.
Right.
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
jordan holmes
That's normal.
dan friesen
You talk too much.
unidentified
There you go.
dan friesen
I have to believe Alex was annoying as a youth.
Oh, for sure.
I can't imagine.
jordan holmes
Look at him now and work backwards.
dan friesen
I can't imagine someone not telling him to shut up every now and again.
Now, does that merit spiraling into they were going to kill me?
Probably not.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
So that's my feeling on it.
I think this is a load of shit.
jordan holmes
Yeah, it's a story like that that really makes me think that his parents just fucked him up so bad.
Like, I don't know if they did.
It sounds to me like, based on every story we've heard about him moving or any kind of significant life change before he would have any control over it, his parents probably just lied out their fucking face.
Maybe he believed everything.
dan friesen
Maybe, but so much of it is only coming from his perspective.
Right.
So like, I have no idea how much of it is actual input from his parents and perceived input.
jordan holmes
Oh, yeah.
dan friesen
So I don't know.
I'd be hesitant to say that they're lying to him about all this stuff when it's coming from him.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
So I don't know.
It could just be a self-defense mechanism to convince himself he's the hero in all these stories.
Oh, for sure.
That's entirely likely.
So Alex gets another caller.
And this caller is expressing a sense that now that he believes all of Alex's narratives and all of the worldview that Alex puts out, his friends don't agree with him anymore.
jordan holmes
Oh, no.
dan friesen
And it's alienating to some extent.
And I don't think that Alex handles this well.
I don't think he responds appropriately.
unidentified
You know what's sad with all my friends and stuff?
I try to tell them about what's going on, about all the tyranny, about they don't have their own thoughts anymore.
alex jones
They're good people.
That's reasonable.
unidentified
Yeah, it is.
And everyone has the iPhone now.
It's like we're living inside of a clone, kind of.
alex jones
Well, it's going to get a lot funner.
I mean, hey, they like type 2 diabetes and death, and everything keep drinking that diet of cook.
Tall admitted it's killing him, isn't that fun?
unidentified
I just really feel bad for my generation, my future.
We don't even get to live our lives now.
You know what I mean?
alex jones
Well, whoever said you did live?
That's a conspiracy theory.
unidentified
It is.
alex jones
That mothers ever breastfed was a conspiracy.
That men ever loved women was a conspiracy theory.
The future is Japan with poop clubs on every corner.
People pooping on each other.
That's wholesome and good.
You're bad.
dan friesen
That's.
jordan holmes
I'm a young, impressionable, and very obviously stupid kid.
I really look up to you and I hero worship you.
I'm going to pour my heart out about my increasing isolation.
Please tell me what the future is for my generation.
dan friesen
Poop clubs.
jordan holmes
All right.
This has been great.
How's Don DeGran Pri doing?
dan friesen
Bad news.
That's a situation where what Alex is doing is mocking the out-group.
The friends that he has that don't agree with Alex's worldview, there's a dismissal of their point of view, a mockery, which serves to insulate the in-group that this kid is a part of with Alex.
And I don't think that that's healthy.
I think that's not good.
Because a lot of the things that the kid is expressing, I think that there's some merit to.
Not necessarily a lot of believing in Alex, but the idea of this generational isolation that you feel with technology taking over to an extent where it feels like there's a lot of impersonalization.
For sure.
But these are issues that you can talk about in a realistic way and offer solutions to.
And it's not, hey, all of your friends are stupid.
They're just sheep.
They're thinking like they all have the same thoughts, not like you.
They're just going to end up at the poop club.
alex jones
Right.
dan friesen
Like, that's not good.
That's not a healthy way to treat someone calling in.
jordan holmes
If you don't help them or stop them, you're going to end up at the poop club, too.
There's also an implicit threat to every part of these out-groups.
dan friesen
Sure.
Sure.
I don't know.
I think that's not cool.
unidentified
No.
jordan holmes
No.
dan friesen
I don't appreciate that.
jordan holmes
Do not for a single moment engage with what your friends believe.
Simply scoff at them, call them stupid because they don't have their own thoughts.
Never speak to them again.
dan friesen
Now, granted, I only want you to internalize my thoughts.
alex jones
Well, of course.
dan friesen
But so we have one last clip, and it's from the end of this 28th episode.
There's really not much going on on this episode.
jordan holmes
I can tell.
dan friesen
It's kind of a no-man's land.
jordan holmes
Two poop club references now.
There's no way.
dan friesen
There might have even been a third in there somewhere.
jordan holmes
There's no way that a lot was going on this episode.
dan friesen
It's pretty tough.
It's mostly just vamping to not take calls and then taking a few calls.
And not really, like, there's no Sandy Hook stuff, really.
Except, I guess, sort of, I think once or twice he generally says it's a false flag.
But that's not really any development.
jordan holmes
That's just him throwing that in there.
Hey, just a reminder, real quick, false flag.
Anyways, next call.
dan friesen
It's not a development, inasmuch as now we've had Steve come on and introduce the acceptability of dealing with this as a crisis actor situation.
For Alex just to vaguely, again, say it's a false flag, it's the same thing we talked about in our last 2013 episode.
It's the kind of thing where if you want to hear it this way, you can.
If you want to hear it this other way, you can.
And it's not relevant.
But we get one last clip here.
It's another caller.
And Alex is running out of time.
I should tell you he's in overdrive, so he does not have to end the show.
jordan holmes
That cannot be real.
That he's both running out of time and he's already ended and his show is over.
dan friesen
Right, but he could just keep going as long as he wants.
jordan holmes
I know, but why is he going?
He's not saying anything.
dan friesen
He needed to take more calls.
No, he didn't.
Yeah.
So he's talking to this guy.
And again, he could come back from this commercial break that they're barreling into.
He could cancel the commercial break.
He could do anything he wants.
jordan holmes
He should just cancel.
dan friesen
He does end the show.
Okay.
But if I were him, I probably wouldn't have.
unidentified
You know, this whole thing is sort of, there's a whole story on top of its story, and maybe I might just shine some light on you.
I uncovered something the other day, and I know this may sound fantastic, but I was up in Hartford, Connecticut.
alex jones
Hold on, you got to send me an email.
What is it?
Tell us.
We got five seconds.
unidentified
Okay, the body of J.P. Morgan and his wife and three sons, their graves were ramsacked, and the bodies were sold.
Oh.
dan friesen
Oh.
And that is the end of the show.
unidentified
That's the first time I've ever wanted to hear what the rest of the caller had to do.
Me too.
dan friesen
Me too.
I'm very interested.
unidentified
The body of J.P. Morgan and his family, their graves were fucking ramsacked.
dan friesen
Their bodies were stolen.
unidentified
And then I get to hear the end of that with a hole.
jordan holmes
It's comical.
dan friesen
It's almost fucking weird.
jordan holmes
God, that's a bit.
That's such a good bit.
dan friesen
Yeah.
jordan holmes
So good.
dan friesen
So J.P. Morgan is buried at Cedar Hill Cemetery in Hartford, Connecticut.
When he's saying that there's an extra layer to this story, it feels like he's talking about Sandy Hook because it's Connecticut, but it's not explicit that he's connecting these things.
Right.
I don't really know because Alex doesn't give him enough time to lay out what he's talking about.
If this is even a part of a Sandy Hook conspiracy, but since it's Connecticut and he's saying it's an added layer, it feels like it might be.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
I have no idea.
jordan holmes
It sounds to me like just from the large background information we're dealing with, I'm going to throw in a Sandy Hook was a false flag.
Nobody died in there.
To distract from the stealing of the Apple of Eden from J.P. Morgan.
dan friesen
Now we're into Assassin's Creed.
jordan holmes
There we go.
See, now we're into where we always meant to be.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
So you can find pictures of J.P. Morgan's grave site very easily online.
And if you look it up, there's not really anything there to ransack.
It's just kind of granite slabs.
JPMorgan was married twice.
One of his wives is buried with him at Cedar Hill.
But the three sons thing is a problem.
Mostly because J.P. Morgan only had one son, J.P. Morgan Jr.
jordan holmes
Okay.
All right.
dan friesen
He had three daughters, Louisa, Juliet, and Ann.
But of his four children, only J.P. Morgan Jr. and Ann are buried at the family plot in Hartford.
This guy has just simple facts wrong.
So it makes it a little difficult to trust any of the bigger parts of what he's saying.
Considering he's saying that J.P. Morgan and his three sons' grave sites where they stole their bodies even have three sons.
jordan holmes
Yeah, but that's what he talking about.
That means that we've got an additional element that he needs to explain somehow in his conspiracy theory.
And now I want to find out that J.P. Morgan has two secret kids.
dan friesen
Could be.
I've tried to look into this.
I can find literally no indication that J.P. Morgan and his family's tombs were ransacked and their bodies were stolen.
I can't even find conspiracy sites arguing that sort of thing.
Where is this guy from?
Well, he's from Connecticut.
jordan holmes
You want to know what's up with this dude.
dan friesen
Yeah, and this is kind of the problem with how Alex relates to his callers.
He has no time left on the show, even though he's an overdrive and could keep going as long as he wants.
But he allows this guy to throw out something completely unfounded and insane while leaving himself no time to respond except for with a weird groan.
Oh.
You can't operate like this, especially when Alex fancies himself, and he talks about it a lot, about like, I get so much information from you all, the callers of the Brain Trust, they turn me on to these stories and gun bills that I didn't even know were happening.
You've got a caller calling in saying that this J.P. Morgan grave robbery happened.
You have no time for him to articulate or get into the specifics of it.
It's just left hanging there.
With no, like, if I were Alex, I had one second left and that guy said that, I'd be like, bullshit!
unidentified
Or, nope, nope, no, I cannot hang out.
dan friesen
You have a duty.
jordan holmes
We have been doing this for so many years.
I've heard so many callers, and I have never wanted to know what any of them had to say.
The one time I do.
unidentified
Oh.
dan friesen
And if you consider, too, that he vamps almost this entire episode.
jordan holmes
I do.
dan friesen
If this caller had just been allowed some of that time that he's rambling about Japanese poop bars, we could have maybe figured out what is the conspiracy.
What's the plan?
jordan holmes
I don't know.
Now, obviously, the conspiracy is so much better when I'm writing what he might think.
dan friesen
Right.
jordan holmes
That, of course, is going to be better because the real conspiracy was probably going to be a massive disappointment.
dan friesen
Probably.
But it is more fun if it is like they needed a diversion in order to pull off the Italian job.
jordan holmes
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
unidentified
That's great.
dan friesen
It is more fun.
And that's probably, you're right.
It's probably not what he was thinking.
jordan holmes
Right.
dan friesen
But I want to know.
jordan holmes
I know.
dan friesen
So this might be a cliffhanger.
jordan holmes
That is such a fucking perfect bit.
dan friesen
When we come back to 2013 on March 29th, will we find.
jordan holmes
No, probably not.
We are all going to die wondering what happened to JPMorgan and his two fake sons.
dan friesen
Yeah, I think that is something that a mystery that will go unsolved for history.
jordan holmes
Yep.
dan friesen
So I think that what we have here is a massive departure point.
Like, I think we have a sea change.
And I base that on, first of all, Steve Pieczenik's in play.
jordan holmes
Yeah.
dan friesen
He wants to come back.
He'll be back very soon, I'm sure.
jordan holmes
Oh, of course.
dan friesen
He has a message to disseminate, and that is that Susan Collins' existence proves that there were crisis actors at Sandy Hook.
unidentified
Also, I want to know how much he got for ghostwriting one of those Tom Clancy.
dan friesen
I would like to know that.
I could use it, Will.
I think Steve being on is big.
And then I also think that the fact that he says these things and Alex doesn't push back on them is big.
Because if Alex had a moral and intellectual consistency, what we've seen so far is at least aversion to the actor's narrative.
He scolded that caller who brought up the idea that Robbie Parker was an actor.
He's like, you can't say that about someone who's grieving their child's death.
There was a repulsion about it initially.
When he had Paul Joseph Watson interview James Tracy, there was an attempt to distance and interview the guy about what he believes, but not be associated with it.
Now, here on March 27th, you see almost complete acceptance of it.
And partially it's because Alex knows Steve, maybe.
He doesn't take it as just some crazy idea that's being presented.
There's the gravitas of Steve Pieczenik behind it, which is a mess.
jordan holmes
Well, I mean, in this time period, Steve's got him fucking hypnotized, practically, right?
dan friesen
Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, he probably has a real air of credibility at very least.
Like, I don't think Alex has any reason to suspect him like he does in the present day.
jordan holmes
Well, in 2015, when we were going through all of that, it seemed like Pieczenik was on every goddamn day.
dan friesen
Not every day, but a lot.
jordan holmes
And he was the Barnes of 2015.
dan friesen
And he was fueling a lot of Alex's shift to Trump with his narratives about the counter-coup and what have you.
I think Loki, I don't know.
I mean, we have to see what happens in the future and how quickly Alex makes that jump.
But I do think that what we can see publicly here, it definitely feels like I need those emails too.
Oh, yeah.
Like, I very much hope that that Sandy Hook lawsuit involves release of the Steve Pieczenik emails.
jordan holmes
I don't think we have standing to file an amicus brief or something along those lines.
dan friesen
Certainly not.
jordan holmes
I don't think that's going to work for us.
dan friesen
No.
But it just, it just, it feels, it feels like this is it.
It feels like this is the jump-off.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And we'll see.
We'll see.
I'm more excited and anxious than ever based on like we only have like two weeks left before the Boston bombing.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
And Alex's narrative has taken a drastic step before this.
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
How much is that going to come into play?
How far is he going to go down the Sandy Hook crisis actors path before the Boston bombing?
And then how is that going to inform his coverage of the bombing?
Right.
Like, I just see this as such a disaster unfolding in front of me.
Like, that is unnecessary.
It is based on terrible sourcing.
unidentified
Yep.
dan friesen
It's based on just, I mean, everything is as bad as Japanese poop bars in terms of, or even American poop bars in terms of being grounded.
jordan holmes
Oh, I was going to say, because they're not that bad.
dan friesen
I mean, grounding in reality.
None of this is real.
jordan holmes
You can still get a drink.
I mean.
Yeah.
That one broke your back, huh?
That was the one where it's like, we're done with this shit.
dan friesen
Yep.
I don't know.
I'm more excited than ever to see where this goes, but I also dread.
jordan holmes
I mean, in this situation, I halfway expect his next episode to be like, you know what?
I got some new information.
It absolutely did happen.
It's 100% real.
And then the Boston bombing happens, and he's like, that one's fake, too.
I never said it was real.
dan friesen
His next two weeks are just like, fuck Steve Pieczenik.
He's a lying sack of shit.
Boston bombing happens.
He's like, I got Steve hungry.
I never said he was bad.
That was you who said that.
Yeah, I don't know.
Expect the unexpected.
That nothing ever turns out how it appears.
But the appearance of Steve Pieczenik being very essentially related to this, I think, is borne out.
Yeah, that's crucial.
So I will pat myself on the back ever so slightly for that prediction being correct.
For today.
Right.
I will tentatively have to retract that patting on the back once more information comes to the surface.
Yep.
But we'll be back on Wednesday.
But until then, we have a website.
jordan holmes
We do.
It's knowledgefight.com.
dan friesen
Yeah, it is.
We're also on Twitter.
jordan holmes
We are on Twitter at knowledge underscore fight and at go to bed Jordan.
dan friesen
Yeah, we're also on Facebook.
jordan holmes
We are on Facebook.
And if you would like to listen to this show or tell someone else about it, you could go to iTunes.
You could download there.
You could leave a review.
But that is low-level shit.
dan friesen
Oh, boy.
jordan holmes
What you're going to want to do, go to your nearest park bench.
Underneath that park bench will be a dead drop.
That will give you the key to our dirty Dropbox.
From there, at the dirty drop box, you're going to want to download those three files, all of them.exe.
So if you have a Mac, you're not going to be able to listen to our show.
dan friesen
They're labeled JP Morgan Son 1, 2, and 3.
jordan holmes
Damn it, you guys.
unidentified
Oh.
dan friesen
Damn it.
I didn't know that's where you were going.
Perfect.
jordan holmes
That was perfect.
dan friesen
Was that where you were going?
unidentified
Yeah.
dan friesen
Oh, okay.
Sorry.
jordan holmes
That was amazing.
dan friesen
I felt like it was either going that way or a Japanese vending machine.
jordan holmes
Yeah, I was really trying to avoid the whole poop bar thing.
dan friesen
The three files will give you the coordinates of our vending machine in Japan.
jordan holmes
We've been talking to each other for too long.
dan friesen
Possibly.
So we'll be back.
But until then, I am Neo.
I'm Leo.
I am the Jesus Lizard.
alex jones
Andy and Chanzos.
You're on the air.
Thanks for holding.
jordan holmes
Hello, Alex.
I'm a first-time caller.
