During the recent InfoWars MoneyBomb - something akin, during these austere times, to the scrap metal drives of World War II - Alex Jones interviewed Jesse Ventura, former professional wrestler (i.e. phoney wrestler), Governor of the State of Minnesota (ftrom 1999 to 2003) and, dare I say it, former Navy Seal.
The interview took a meandering path between an unsuccessful legal case against the TSA for their invasive search techniques, a mooted 'dream ticket' of Ventura standing as Ron Paul's Vice President and the forthcoming third series of his dumbed down television programme 'Conspiracy Theory'.
At one point, Jones suggested that Ventura should interview David Icke - not least because Icke was due to start a series of speaking engagements in America.
Now, all three of these characters have problems when it comes to credibly putting forward contentious ideas to a population stupefied by idiotic television and junk food.
Jones attempts to pass himself off as a neutral who has transcended the left/right paradigm whilst occupying a near extreme right wing entrenchment. His loud, bullying, egotistical persona is enough to turn any curious intelligent first time listener off. Whilst the issues he covers are of undoubted relevance, his logic has more holes than a string vest.
Ventura, on the other hand, whilst also being loud and egotistical, is a few rungs down on the evolutionary ladder from Jones. Viewers are constantly reminded that he is a former Navy Seal but looking at him it is impossible to forget that he was also the epitome of fake, a professional wrestler. Nothing shines intellectually. His television programme is presented in a typical American fashion, i.e. a ten minute programme puffed out with the help of advertisements and ad nauseam repetition to fill an hour. The point of the programme usually having withered from being reheated half a dozen times before its ultimate damp delivery.
Contrastingly, Icke is extremely sharp and intelligent and witty. Icke's Achilles heal is in the fact that he has a number of times, for whatever reason, gone wildly off course - at least in terms of remaining within a waveband of popular credibility. I have no doubt whatsoever that had it not been for what Icke calls the 'Reptilian Agenda', the views he espouses would be widely acceptable - in spite of the damage his reputation suffered at the hands of Terry Wogan. It is often speculated that the 'Reptilian Agenda' is a device for concealing the truth in plain sight flanked by a discredited fallacy.
But it seems that the Ventura/Icke date arranged by Jones did not go according to expectations, as can be read on David Icke's website:
Jesse Ventura - Pet Detective
During an interview with Jon Ronson for his 2001 series 'Secret Rulers of the World', Jones called Icke 'a turd in a punchbowl' (see video) but has since managed to cosy up to Icke - though he clearly looks uncomfortable whenever he is filmed talking to Icke.
It seems that those who often caution against divide and rule are themselves at the head of it, wittingly or otherwise. The fallouts are like conspiracy gossip - like celebrity gossip but possibly costly.
Conspirity fallouts are nothing new and they provide nothing positive to the pursuit of truth. There will be hardcores of Icke and Ventura fans metaphorically squaring up to each other as I type - as well as some people who will very likely feel that they have to make some kind of choice.
Unfortunately, incidents like this present even more garbage to try to see through but maybe the outcome will be positive if the exercise of digestion helps to separate the nutrients from the shit.
