NEWSMAX GOES "KOOK". Promoting Video Claiming Govt. Behind 9-11!

Chris Ruddy's NewsMax, which I used to have some degree of trust in, given that he was so instrumental in exposing the truth about Vince Foster's murder, refuses to remove an advertisement it's carrying promoting a video by one Alex Jones, a conspiracy kook who claims, in excruciatingly unexamined, half-assed detail, that the U.S. government, and the "New World Order", were in fact behind the attacks of September 11. They ALLOWED Al-Qaida to do this, you see, so that they could institute global tyranny. Blah, blah, blah.

[Burr5]

Conscientious people have a right to avoid businesses (and Web-Sites) that become offensive to their sensibilities. I've "contacted" NewsMax many times begging them to distance themselves from this b*llsh#ting profiteer (he's worse than that French whack-job, IMO), but it's still there. Make up your own mind. Here's the link to what NewsMax wants to associate itself with: http://www.infowars.com/tyranny.htm

I gave up on Newsmax some time ago.

Me too. And Drudge. And WND.

How is that? I listen to him couple of times a week and he's right up there with 'true' conservatives on FR:
1) he's violently pro-2nd amendment
2) he doesn't want to see a police state as you'll end up with a bunch of Janet Renos killing people at Waco
3) he's come up with what he thinks is a link between al-Queda and world leaders.

HI, thathamiltonwoman. loved your movie! Great ship battle! :) I'm going to try to get hyperlink to work once more. http://www.infowars.com/tyranny.htm

From that link some blurbs on the video:
*HOW DOZENS OF FBI AND DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AGENTS WERE THREATENED WITH ARREST BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IF THEY GOT IN THE WAY OF AL-QAEDA OPERATIONS
That's true
*HOW THE CIA TRAINED, FUNDED AND PROTECTED BIN LADEN
Well that's partially true: the CIA funded operations against the Soviets and bin Laden happened to be there as a fighter.
*THAT IMPEACHMENT LAWYER DAVID SCHIPPERS WARNED CONGRESS AND THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT OF THE IMPENDING TERRORISTS ATTACKS . (THE FILM INCLUDES AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH SCHIPPERS ON THE ALEX JONES SHOW JUST 2 WEEKS AFTER THE ATTACKS. SCHIPPERS HAS SINCE BEEN THREATENED WITH ARREST IF HE CONTINUES TO SPEAK OUT, AND IS BEGGING THE MEDIA AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO GET THIS STORY OUT)
David Schippers, of Clinton impeachment fame, has filed a case about this.
*HOW THE BLOODTHIRSTY GLOBALISTS ARE USING THE TERRORIST ATTACKS TO SCARE THE POPULATION INTO ACCEPTING HIGH-TECH SLAVERY AND A NEW WORLD ORDER POLICE STATE
That might be a stretch, but we do have carnivore to read out emails and newly mandated E911 service to locate our cell phones.
* HOW THE RECENTLY DECLASSIFIED TOP-SECRET NORTHWOODS DOCUMENT WRITTEN BY THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF LAID OUT PLANS TO BOMB WASHINGTON AND TO HIJACK AIRPLANES AS A PRETEXT FOR WAR
Don't know about that.
*BILL CLINTON'S INVOLVEMENT IN THE OKLAHOMA CITY BOMBING AND HOW IT WAS CARRIED OUT BY INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES TO BE BLAMED ON THE RIGHT-WING
A lot of people on FR can buy into this, or at least that the intelligence agencies are covering up for Islamic terrorist actions.
*HOW THE FBI ORDERED THEIR INFORMANTS TO COOK THE BOMB AND TRAIN THE DRIVERS IN THE FIRST WORLD TRADE CENTER ATTACK IN 1993
I'll have to get the tape to find out about that.
*WHY THE USA PATRIOT ACT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND UN-AMERICAN
No argument here
*WHY THE GOVERNMENT LEAVES OUR BORDERS WIDE-OPEN BUT TELLS US TO GIVE UP OUR LIBERTIES FOR SECURITY AND THAT MORE TERRORIST ATTACKS ARE IMMINENT
Another point that most FReepers will agree with.
*FBI TRAINING MANUALS THAT ARE BEING GIVEN TO POLICE DEPARTMENTS THAT STATE THAT CHRISTIANS, GUN OWNERS, AND "THOSE WHO MAKE FREQUENT REFERENCES TO THE US CONSTITUTION" ARE TERRORISTS
Somewhat of a stretch: its true but I believe that flyer was only a demo internal FBI document.
*THE UNFOLDING CASHLESS SOCIETY BIOMETRIC CONTROL-GRID
At the Thriftway up here you can now pay for your groceries with your fingerprint that's hooked up to a database. How long till they don't accept cash?

If a guy who blames the U.S. Government for carrying out the 1993 bombing of the WTC, and claims it allowed 9-11, and obviously believes George W. Bush to be the equivalent of Joseph Stalin, is your idea of a "true" conservative (like those of us at Free Republic), then I think (I hope) you're at the wrong web-site.

[thathamiltonwoman]

Thanks for the link! I'm glad you enjoyed my favorite movie.

I have to chime in here. Ruddy is not a conservative. Ruddy is a profiteer. If Leftists on the Internet were as big a commodity as conservatives, he'd be hawking Jesse Jackson videos and literature. He's been taking conservatives for a ride for years: NewsMax by the Numbers. Ruddy is a phony who has found backing and profit in marketing his niche brand of "conservatism."

[mdittmar]

Capitalism at it's best.

I love it.

[redhead]

"Me too. And Drudge. And WND."

Yep. Yep. Yep. A long time ago. FR is my newspaper of record these days.

[sinkspur]

Richard Mellon Scaife's paper ran Ruddy off for his wild and ridiculous obsession with Vince Foster.

Ruddy's always been a nutjob. It's normal for a nutjob to act nutty.

"he's worse than that French whack-job, IMO" Napoleon Bonaparte?

I could care less what man tries to do, God is absolutely going to dominate the future of this planet. Let Satan and his minions try anything they want, Jesus has the keys to death, hell, and the grave. God is allowing gross darkness to cover the Earth in order to create a huge vacuum, which will be flooded and vanquished once and for all by a "mighty, rushing wind" of the Holy Spirit filling this void. It will cover the Earth like "the waters cover the sea." All the "vanity and vexation" of fallen man will be a vague memory. Every wrong will be righted, and death will be swallowed up with life.

I know, good news is a little tough for people have been so brainwashed by the media into thinking "if it bleeds, it leads". Of course Jesus bleed, so he could lead the REAL new world order. Thats ALL the news that you need to hear.

I'll ditto that.

NewsMax is and has been nothing but a news rehasher with their opinion thrown in. This is no surprise.

[2-in-Texas]

Spare me the religious ranting.

[CometBaby]

I went to their home page and I couldn't find this ad. Can you direct me to it? I would like to see what it's all about.

[Burr5]

Your "points" defending Alex Jones:
1). Cite me a source for that one.
2). "Partially true", you say. Completely deceptive misdirection I say.
3). But does Shippers suggest the NWO were out to destroy the WTC?
4). Even you admit this one is a "stretch".
5). This notorious "Northwood Document" is from 19freaking62!
6). Even A.E. Pritchard goes out of his way to say that this is nonesense.
7). Is it unconstitutional? Maybe. Have we ever faced an enemy like this one? No. These questions are why we have the Supremes.
8). How exactly do our (not exactly!) "WIDE OPEN" borders suggest that George W. Bush wanted 9-11 to happen?
9). You admit, again, that this one is "something of a stretch".
10). "The cashless society". Worry about the "Mark of the Beast" if you want to. It does nothing to support the allegations Jones is making.

I think "the case", as you've presented it, with your help on all the crucial points, has been refuted.

[Pharmboy]

I looked also--couldn't find it.
