The thing is that all Alex Jones’ propagandising is for nought if it’s only goal is to encourage people to stare at their navel.
Think about it, what’s the point if the goal is just to talk endlessly about ‘the conspiracy’, shouldn’t it be about creating a better world?
But many of those that praise Jones don’t seem to know what they want or are hiding their views because many would see them as creating a worse situation.
So can we get hints of the direction Jones wants from the Jones websites?

In the activism section of Prison planet, people are told how to bring change, but what political change do they want?
(First up is the fact that people are told to write to their political representatives and the media. But isn’t one of the main tenets of ‘the conspiracy’ the belief that the mainstream media and the elected representatives are all under the control of ‘the conspiracy’ so whats that all about)
Anyway, in one article Paul Joseph Watson (Jones long time collaborator) seems to argue that the movement should have a left wing outcome, wanting to wake the “sleeping giant” of the left wing presumably so it can build a better conspiracy free future.
But that doesn’t seem to fit in with some other aspects of ‘the conspiracy’ that claim the left are a creation of conspirators.

In another section of activism they mention the excellent pamphlet ‘An Activist guide to exploiting the media’ by George Monbiot
I have mention Monbiot before and he actually doesn’t hid the direction in which he wanted that activism to go and wrote the book ‘The Age of Consent: A Manifesto for a New World Order’ to set out his vision in which he argues for international organisations.
(Discussed in these forums in the thread “Would a global government and a New World Order be a bad thing?”

So again this seems to clash with other parts of Jones ideas.

What politically is Jones striving for?
Has he like written a mission statement, a vision for the future?
Because to me his project seems contradictory and rudderless.
Someone might believe that the ship of state is going in the wrong direction and that the captain and crew are planning on transporting you into slavery but if you rest control without a clear direction you are more likely than not going to smash the ship against the rocks and drown everyone.
