InfoWars Interview

Here's my chat yesterday with Alex Jones:


Here's the InfoWars write-up that precipitated them reaching out to me.

As an update of sorts, PJ Media is looking into this. The States United people, themselves the creation of pr folks, are now insisting that the "customers" were not "actors," but "focus group participants."  Why it didn't say that on the official NYC permits is anybody's guess. The producer isn't talking, because he is claiming to have received death threats.  I'm sure we can now find reports have been filed with NYPD to investigate, right?  In any case, does this mean we have another deception, that the "customers" were all transported in, as opposed to walking in off the street? Will they be forthcoming with who put together the "focus group," who chose them to participate, what documented criteria was used, if they signed a release authorizing use of likeness and voice?

Funny, how all of a sudden they're in a rush to "clarify" things.  Funny how, when trade publication Ad Week told the industry the guns were real (and had been used in the crimes the tags claimed!), the customers were real first-time gun buyers, and real minds were changed, nobody saw fit to try and "correct" any misinterpretations.

Funny how the boy who has repeatedly cried "Wolf!" is so indignant that an official NYC permit which they applied and paid for, that is, initiated and accepted, says "actors."

We started out on this adventure with a video--why not end with one?

"Focus group participants"? Yea, and the last time I had to unclog a toilet, I was acting as an "industrial accumulated matter sanitation disaster prevention engineer".

Good interview. Great job. What's up with Examiner columns? Any update on what readers can do - complaining to the right people, etc. - would be appreciated.

"Focus group participants"? No, that was four words, not three, and you mispronounced the first word.
