This book has bothered me for a long, long time. I picked it up at a secondhand bookstore on a whim and have read it several times over the past 12 years or so. As you can see, I paid tree fiddy for it. Even that might have been too much. Because it's a 30-year-old... Continue Reading →
Last week, I attended one of the “No New Normal” rallies that is held outdoors every weekend in a community in Alberta, Canada. I am not going to disclose the location or the names of the participants because I have no desire to give the organizers free publicity. To date, more than 180,000 Albertans have...

This is not an easy time for anyone, and you know what makes it infinitely worse? Idiotic theories and ideas that cannot and will not be supported by any sort of valid evidence, ever. You can't escape them. They're all over social media, alt media, YouTube. Co-workers reel with them out with little to no... Continue Reading →
It has been a rough few years for Alex Jones. Lawsuits. DUIs. Divorce. Tragicomic depositions. Sexual harassment allegations. Infowars defectors publishing tell-all pieces in the New York Times. Getting de-platformed. Losing his "unofficial" (totally official) YouTube channel when that of his lowly former employee, Aaron Dykes, is still thriving. I stopped updating Leaving Alex Jonestown...
