RE: Blog retracted by author, My Citicism of Alex Jones was Ego Based
Thanks for the explanation. And you're right, I didn't realize I was foisting TM on Jones.
Yes, and I admit my timing on this was not very well planned. And yep, if they axed him, I would not be very happy about it at all.
And I also admit I had a lot emotionally invested into that contest. The censorship of his show seriously cut into my plans. And, I do think you are right, its a blessing in disguise.
Also, now that I think of it, Jones has been at an all time impulsive and angry state since this whole censorship thing began. So, perhaps I was a bit hasty in my public condemnation of his behavior.
Its really painful to see a guy who made so many good films and had so many good insights go nuts. So, yeah, I think out of a sense I've been a long time listener, I am going to edit this post.
Thanks for the feedback.
If my comment inspired you to update your post and you feel the changes are good then I am glad I chimed in. All I know is for as long as I've been listening to Jones some of the behind the scenes stuff which he normally doesn't even get into (as to not encourage them) seem on a par with gangstalking.
Then there is the constant death threats and harassment that he receives in combination with communist-style censorship and even business deplatforming too. It seems to me enough to base a movie on. All that said, he does come off a bit too strong for some people. Sometimes I tune in just for that, an animated personality. When people talk about topics with passion it allows me to feel or resonate even more so with the message.
Lately though, when I do listen to him, my mind is like a sieve. All of the extraneous noise passes in one ear and out the other but the large nuggets of important information get collected and inventoried. Different people different styles I suppose. I'm glad that there are many types of communicators who get into the realm of political analysis.
I too find David Knight very informational and he's almost always on point. One thing that I do like and miss about Jones is many times he would do special short 5-10 minute videos where he really got into a topic and delivered it perfectly without straying too far from the task at hand. I have seen less and less of those lately but I think many of the methods and tactics deployed against him are probably designed to make him that way.
Gangstalking, for example, is meant to be like Chinese water torture it's meant to destabilize people slowly and methodically. The fact that he's been able to endure some of the things that he's described is pretty remarkable considering that most people, I don't think they would have had the constitution for it.
My hat's off to you, good Sir. I don't think that the videos you did were a waste of time. I've been spending lots of time on steem here, for example, writing for less than peanuts. I see it more like sitting down at a grinding wheel and sharpening a steel blade. When the war gets even more real than it is now, I'll be happy to jump into it with a sharp mind. In the meantime, all of this is just skill honing and practice.

Yes, I believe my outburst was caused by my ego. So, somewhere in my head, I must have thought, "Clearly, I am a badass filmmaker! How dare you ignore me when your entire site is under attack and you've been deplatformed by Tech Elite Authoritarian Pig Demons?"
I've snapped out of it. And well, ironically, one of the goals of TM is to melt the ego. Suppose I still have a lot of work to do. And when I think of how much impact Alex Jones has had on information, it's quite humbling.
Thanks again for your feedback!
Actually like when Alex is on form with intelligent and funny angles.
This short film I made years ago, kind of sums up what I did to myself metaphysically when I badmouthed Jones.
I've played around with the idea of escaping ego too. I think I kind of gave up on it. Even the idea of being egoless can be appealing to the ego. I seen a couple of people who I suspected may have been egoless. Eckhart Tolle and Osho, but even then for me it's really tough to say with any certainty if it's possible, or if they did it for real. Nevertheless, outside of complete dissolution of it I think we may be able to become more or less egoic to certain degrees. Anywho, I wish you the best of luck on the journey and hope that you can get there. I know it's been portrayed as arduous to accomplish but those who claim to have done it tend to describe it as effortless after the fact. That in and of itself is kind of a mind blowing contradiction of ideas. Maybe it's like riding a bicycle, its the hardest thing to do when you don't know how, but after you do, it's as easy as riding a bike.
Very perceptive of you! I am really into BMX Cruisers! And in all honestly, I do the TM to maintain control and not be angry all the time. Basically it enhances my game-show-host type personality. I've also noticed TM has greatly enhanced my creativity, patience, and goal manifesting.
Also, thought about how I let that inner bratty/angry person I thought thought I left behind come out when my ego was not satiated with praise. And when I didn't win a prize in the 2018 Inforwars Contest, I lashed out in the meanest way possible. And I realized that those dark emotions actually opened me up to the Dark Side! Pretty interesting and weird how perceptive George Lucas was with the whole lore of The Force he put into Star Wars.
