I&#8217;m stuck on a repetitive mantra, where he&#8217;s throwing a few things out there and it seems something where he has a host of things listed for listeners to pick up at least one on depending on their political views and biases &#8212; how many times in the course of a few hours can he jam in &#8220;Judith Miller on wmds&#8221;? &#8230; a curious question arises &#8212; did not know Judith Miller won the Pulitzer, but apparently she did (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Judith_Miller#Career_at_The_New_York_Times\">or, part of the team<\/a>*)&#8230; though not on her Iraq coverage&#8230; though&#8230; the muddled point still remains, if&#8230; floating in as a non-sequitur to not say anything about his controversies.<\/p>\n<p>Reasonably decent points made here or there &#8212; once upon a time, a tirade about gay (or hermaphrodite) frogs, reportedly strung off of Democracy Now environmental distress story&#8230; a couple minutes clipped out of multiple hours spoken a day for decades&#8230; and&#8230;\u00c2\u00a0 see too the narrowing for whatever he has said on Sandy Hook&#8230; hey!\u00c2\u00a0 It&#8217;s one thing I had &#8230; briefly&#8230; and was it a guest?<\/p>\n<p>Still a bit of shaky ground for &#8220;speculative&#8221; commentary for Sandy Hook truthism.\u00c2\u00a0 He will be on firmer ground when we get around to Parkland in that&#8230; there is a conspiracy we&#8217;re working off of&#8230; too apt to extrapolate into nonsense&#8230; the same few kids who learned some telegenic and media savvy tricks from working in the school&#8217;s drama department hooked up with some political activists to promote their gun control agenda\/stance.\u00c2\u00a0 And, victims that they are, they are not sacrosanct and all knowing.\u00c2\u00a0 But then again, they&#8217;re not the ones suing Jones.<\/p>\n<p>Clyde Lewis disappoints.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe?\u00c2\u00a0 Or maybe we&#8217;re a ways away from the &#8220;Old Portland&#8221;.\u00c2\u00a0 It&#8217;s where he speaks of the voices you must continue to listen to &#8230; combating the NWO and eta al&#8230; a list that includes George Noory and Alex Jones (put them with Lewis into a special radio format, I suppose), and then Glen Beck and Michael Savage (each speaking in their own ways on the issues with their own points of views) and then&#8230; Lars Larson?<\/p>\n<p>I suppose it would be more Rick Emerson who was mocking Lars, but I&#8217;m not hearing much from him other than standard partisan positioning of the type he&#8217;s otherwise blasting away on.\u00c2\u00a0 George Noory may have settled into something other than a kind of rival (I did notice he passed on well wishing for Clyde&#8217;s wife recently), but once upon a time Lewis would&#8217;ve blasted him as putting you to sleep.\u00c2\u00a0 As for the others&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; actually I&#8217;m stuck on Lars and only Lars.<\/p>\n<p>I do have one theory on the likes of Alex Jones, and some of his conspiranoial compatriots, on their relationship with the current President Trump.\u00c2\u00a0 They&#8217;re behaving in the manner a lot of voting blocs end up behaving &#8212; Trump gives them a little attention &#8212; just a little, mind you &#8212; and they take it and give them a full support that overlooks or excuses some of what they&#8217;d otherwise be blasting away on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>* Wikipedia has its uses, and its uses include this.\u00c2\u00a0 But overall, tread carefully.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Years ago, round about 2001 or 2002, I&#8217;d hear Alex Jones appear with Clyde Lewis and ramble on about the building of internment &#8212;
