hi Andy,
Man you are well tucked away off the beaten track. Never been that far down but would love to, lovely place I hear.
I will now not be in Kerry this weekend but the next time I am I will try to take the spin down to meet you somewhere handy for you. Would be a good excuse to see that part of the country.

On Alex Jones, I have great respect for him but he does my head in too.
Everyone is a product of their environment though, and he is from Texas redneckville so for him to be doing what he's doing is amazing.
Also, i think that due to the tales and fancies presented to us via hollywood and Madison Avenue that we are conditioned to see certain 'characters' in our lives and in the world, in certain, stereotyped ways.

Alex Jones however is all over the place, emotionally and verbally. He waxes eloquent, he rants. He talks amazingly informed, learned, studied stuff, where you can see his craving to know and to get others to know. Then he defends Christianity and other things he really shouldn't. he gets amazing guests on, then he interrupts them maddeningly.
Like he had Tsarion on the other day, who in my opinion completely deconstructs christianity and lays bare its abominable basis in lie along the lines of 911 times 1,000,000. But Alex is nice as pie to him...

He does, and has done great work waking people up, and he is real, his ecentricities show that. he's human and has many flaws, which is comforting like.

But I'm looking at all he has done and does and asking myself, where are HIS solutions? He throws out so much Doom and Gloom but with no attempt at solution.

Also, he NEVER, ever, mentions the Jesuits. And if he is so deep into learning on all the other topics how can he possibly have missed the Jesuit link?

Peter Joseph was way over AJs head and his ideas, with Fresco's, of the future world, are pretty pie in the sky when we look at our situation now. But they are ideas and suggestions. What I think needs to happen is that people get involved in the Venus project, or even take the message from the film and don't go near the Venus project but start similar initiatives, and make it more human. I had an idea a year or so ago about something similar to the venus project but I think more appealing. Start an online community and invite people from all trades but especially dfesign, architecture, future tech, arts, and all the necessary and desired elements of a city, the best city you could think of, and get them to design their own city, collectively over the net. When/if it became big enough of a concept online it could be made real.
Must get that doc and poist it, it was a pretty good concept!
