Let’s assume that Alex Jones could conceivably suffer a heart attack and die.
What would the headlines say? In what outlets? On which page in which newspapers? I can think of a few.
“Conspiracy Theorist Suffers Heart Attack.”
“Noted Conspiracy Theorist Suffers Heart Attack.”
“Far Right Conspiracy Theorist Suffers Heart Attack.”
“Alex Jones Was ‘Breitbarted,’ Says Conspiracy Theorist.”
“City Coroner Retires Unexpectedly, Cites Family Reasons.”
How crucial is Jones? These questions occur to me.
Six months after his death, how many clicks would his site get?
Could anyone replace him in terms of audience size?
Would there be another comparable clearing house site?
Would his targets experience less exposure?
Would certain men breathe easier?
Would the conservative fringe be decapitated?
Would anything change, one way or another?
And the key question: “Where would I get tipped off for my daily stories?”
I have been in the conservative movement since 1956. I have watched men come and go. Jones is the best of the conspiracy theorists, ever. He has the largest audience. He sniffs out the widest range of stories. He connects dots better than most, given the number of dots he tries to connect. He does not get off message. He has avoided scandals. And he is by far the best bull horn guy in the business.
He has retained his sanity. This is not a minor issue. There have been some real nut cases in this movement. Sherman Skolnick was one. So was Peter Beter. You could not trust anything they wrote. When you delve too deeply into the world of inner rings, you can begin to believe that they really are in charge. But life is too complex for any group of conspirators to be in charge. (See Psalm 2.)
Jones trusts the good sense of the common man. This is his version of the Austrian economists’ theory of the wisdom of the free market. Austrians say that lots of little people making daily decisions are smarter corporately than any central planning board. Jones believes this regarding politics.
He is going to die. If I were Jones, I would set aside time to think about what my legacy would be a year after my death. Five years. Ten years.
I would pay attention to the crucial issue of succession.
Dan Smoot didn’t. I knew him in his retirement years. He was a very smart man. He had a TV presence that few men ever had. He would have been a master of YouTube. But he left no trace.

Mike Rivero at whatreallyhappened.com is also very good at debunking and exposing frauds, phonies and scammers. But he doesn't have Alex's budget!
Jones won't have a heart attack because he's hopped up on the nutritious goodness of Tangy Tangerine.
Donald Young for "First Lady".
Larry Sinclair for "First Lady".
What happened to Donald Young?
It is getting to the point where effective conservative bloggers will have to hire their own food testers.
I always thought Jones was more to the Left than to the right. All that stuff about the common man, working people, and so on – a lot of people read those as Marxist buzzwords. But whatever, he's a good guy. Who else would dare infiltrate the Bohemian Grove where Bush, Cheney, and Co. go to play Drop the Soap?
I have a fair amount of respect for him, but also being a "truther" he's tarnished his own image. I remember him calling some rather unsavory leftists "true patriots" for agreeing with him on this. Also have to agree with Gene Poole about thinking he was more left than right; or perhaps he was more populist.
I think Alex is ‘controlled opposition.’
There are positive developments in the background, e.g., failing European and American banks, BRICS forming alternative to SWIFT, etc.
And, there are odd developments, e.g., largest U.K. aircraft carrier moored on the Thames and a detachment of jet fighters now based in London, for the first time since WWII, war fever against Iran now quashed, etc.
You can take these developments at face value — i.e., preparations for the summer Olympics, which are still 2 1/2 months away, Obama will attack Iran after his reelection — or you can read these developments as preparations for mass arrests of the Committee of 300 to happen within 30 days or so.
Alex thinks the mass arrests are a false rumor.
We will soon find out who is right, Alex or Drake.
Hey Gary North, Alex Jones is working on many of the "ideas" that you have mentioned. Have you personally tried to contact him because of your concerns? As far as Alex's legacy, he has millions of Loyal patriotic fans, and i for one would never in my life forget the "info" this warrior has learned from this man of country. If, anything where to "happen" to him, i do know that many of his listners would never let his work die in vain, for if that were to happen, that would mean all of US "info warriors" would have to DIE!
Hey Gary, do you not listen or know Alex? He's been making and preparing for this " heart attack" scenario, or don't you listen to his show and know of his probable successor's? As far as his legacy, really? You think that his millions of listeners would just simply give up their thoughts and patriotism towards this man or our country? Alex and his real followers aren't concerned about the inevitable, we're only concerned about "the resistance" that we must wage everyday against TYRANNY!

He was found shot to death in his bed. Look it up. Donald Young and Barack Obama.
Alex Jones isn't left wing. He is a right wing populist who is agains't war. He has the same worldview as Ron Paul in terms of liberty. Anybody who is for fighting against the power of the state is welcomed. Also the conspiracy movement is way too small to pick and choose so you have to have a big tent tactic. But if you listen to what Alex Jones believes in terms of politics he is more of a traditional conservative which is great because many in the conspiracy movement are either left wing or have muddled view and no real solutions. That is a great advantage for us because he represents the mainstream conspiracy movement.

No one can replace Alex Jones. I bore easily and I have been listening to him for a long time. It is interesting he hasn't died mysteriously.
Steve Quayle is the only other speaker I have heard with Jones' hypnotic ability. He is too old. George Noory is talented but he likes to talk about ghosts and goblins.
Now I remember why I haven't read anything by Gary North for over a couple of years. Next time it will be for forever. I never thought I'd see someone say that Alex Jones has "kept his sanity,"
