From Socrates To Alex Jones
A Critical Examination of the Figures and Forces that Shape the Alternative Media and Our Perception of Reality
As mentioned in my December Preview - due to the radiation we expose ourselves to with these devices - I’m trying to be more intentional with my cell phone and spend less time on it, resulting in me reading more.
Currently, I’m enjoying a book called “Socrates and Orunmila: Two Patron Saints of Classical Philosophy.” This book compares the teachings of two great thinkers who lived during the axial period of 500 BC. This period saw the rise of many philosophers and thinkers worldwide, such as Socrates in Greece, Confucius in China, Buddha in India, and the Wise Man Orunmila in Africa.
The book explores the similarities between the teachings of Socrates and Orunmila, despite the fact that they lived in different parts of the world and never met each other. It takes the reader on a historical journey back to a time when life was very different from today, almost 2000 years ago.
Since we are all familiar with Socrates, I would like to discuss how he was viewed in his time compared to our idealized image of him now.
According to this book, Socrates was essentially a homeless, crazy beggar who had a following. He had disciples and roamed around the cities of Greece, spreading his Socratic work.
has discussed how Socrates would be banned in our current society and I have also covered Socratic questions in my writings.Contrary to our perception of him, he wasn’t this fantastic philosopher but more like a bacchanalian drifter who liked to drink. He never wrote down anything that he said; all his works were written by Plato, one of his followers.
Even though Socrates was put to death for his teachings, his lessons were so profound that they are admired even today. He discussed the never-ending quest to know the truth and live a virtuous life. However, the problem was that his teachings often contradicted the values of the state, which led to his execution.

Socrates was known as the great father of Greek philosophy. His teachings showed the minds of the youth other ways to live, which was considered a crime by the state. His works are revered today as we see stoicism praised throughout society by individuals like Ryan Holliday and Jordan Peterson.
However, my question is: do we truly follow the teachings of great individuals like Socrates and Jesus, or do we simply admire them?
If we lived according to their teachings, we would likely face persecution from the system as they did. It seems that when you experience persecution, it may indicate that you were doing the right thing by “poisoning the minds” against the system, as Socrates was charged with. This crime is also what Jesus was arrested within societies that do not want the truth to be known.
This persecution phenomenon brings us to a recent event where Alex Jones was reinstated on Twitter, which is significant in this context.
The Truth, the Lies, and the Controlled Opposition
Over the past weekend, Alex Jones was reinstated on Twitter after being suspended for about a year. This cancellation and reinstatement is a complex issue that requires a deeper examination.
Firstly, Alex Jones has done a great job uncovering information the system may not have wanted to be exposed to. In my previous work, I have a list of conspiracies that Alex Jones has called out that have turned out to be true. This example shows that he has been an excellent platform for revealing the truth.
However, I still hold the opinion that Alex Jones might be a controlled opposition, as I discussed in my article “The Art of Theoretical Science.” This argument is because I see a trend where the mainstream narrative no longer deceives people due to recent phenomena such as the pandemic and the vaccine. People are now seeking alternative media and the truth.
If I were to pretend that I am a person who wants to control the world, and I notice that people are turning away from mainstream media and towards alternative media, I would think about how I can control the alternative media. My argument is that someone like Alex Jones can be used to manipulate the voice of alternative media. While he can present information, he also has the ability to control the information and how deep people can delve into it.
While Alex Jones does address some conspiracies, it’s important to understand the nature of these conspiracies and why we are exploring them.
Some people might argue that based on the nature of this article, starting with Socrates and then transitioning to Alex Jones, I am suggesting that Alex Jones is Socrates. However, I want to make it clear that this is far from the truth. Alex Jones is not Socrates but could be seen rather as a fake Socrates.
The reason being that Socrates and his teachings were focused on not only knowing the truth but also living it and being virtuous. Living the truth and leading a virtuous life are not things that I see in Alex Jones. Instead, he presents the truth, but a lot of unraveling and separation has to occur with the truth he gives. Another example of this is David Icke.
I remember David Icke as the person who introduced me to the concept of alternative reality. For that reason, I am forever grateful to him. However, as I continued my journey, I realized that some of the things he says are too far-fetched.
For instance, Icke and Alex Jones believe intergalactic reptilian species rule humanity. While there is a force that controls humanity, at this point, one may begin to wonder if we’re still in the realm of reality and imagination or if we have crossed over to pure fantasy. There is a difference.
If we look back to Socrates, we can see that he wasn’t interested in discussing topics to which we humans cannot know the answers. He didn’t care about the origins of creation because it was beyond human understanding.
Therefore, why bother discussing such topics?
Similarly, when David Icke talks about intergalactic aliens and other galaxies, discussing such things seems irrelevant and unproductive.
To be clear, I argue that the current model of reality — on which Icke and Jones build their foundations off of — is incorrect. My argument is that our world operates on a geocentric model and on a level plane because that is all we have experienced.
Other mainstream theories, such as the earth revolving around the sun, result from scientific dogmatism that focuses on false science and ignores natural sciences, such as the morphic resonance field. I am willing to have this argument with anyone at any time.

However, some people who are just starting to challenge the mainstream narrative see Alex as a positive figure. However, as many of us know, there is an upcoming election next year, and it appears Alex is being brought back into the spotlight just in time for this event.
Elon Musk and Alex Jones: The Great Deceivers of the Alternative Media
Yesterday, December 10th, 2023, Elon Musk hosted a live session on Twitter with Alex Jones. What caught my attention was the presence of Vivek and Andrew Tate as members of the discussion panel. It’s interesting to see how the mainstream narrative will portray Alex Jones, Elon Musk, Tate, and Vivek as a group that aims to challenge the status quo and take on the deep state.
What you have is essentially QAnon 2.0.
I wrote about Vivek in my article titled “Why We Need to Stop Voting,” and I also wrote about Elon. In my opinion, Elon is a great deceiver, especially when we consider his work on SpaceX.
Now, when we have someone like Alex Jones, who is known for seeking the truth but also has connections to individuals like Elon and Trump, it raises some questions. Is Alex playing the role of a controller, making him a controlled opposition, or is he genuinely bringing forth good news?
In one of my podcasts, I referred to a video known as Heliosorcery. In the video, we discuss when the Roman Church’s empire was starting to crumble and how Martin Luther and his 95 Theses began challenging the Church. With the advent of the printing press, Luther was able to spread his message rapidly, and the Church was unable to keep up.
Today, we see a similar situation with the pandemic and the vaccine. The truth is out there and easily accessible. During the Protestant Reformation, one of the popes acknowledged that the information was out of their control. However, he suggested they could position themselves as the source of truth and start a “war of learning against learning.” By holding the truth, they could control the information and remain the learned adopters.
It’s interesting to note that some strategies used today have been around for almost 500 years. As the saying goes, history repeats itself. This reality is the only physical reality where souls can experience materiality, and there are only a limited number of things that can be done. That’s why we see the same old strategy of controlling information being used again and again, such as in this scenario - it’s a way of using information as deemed necessary rather than for actual learning.
And with this control mechanism, you have the idea of fantasy versus reality.
People like Alex Jones, Elon Musk, and David Icke, who are highly intelligent, should be discussing certain aspects of reality that affect us on a daily basis. For instance, do we need a government? What about the Federal Reserve? These are important issues that impact us all. With their large following, they have the power to initiate impactful and powerful initiatives.
However, they are just sustaining the machine and not effectively challenging the system. I discuss this in my podcast, ‘Who Are The Bad Guys Part 2.’ If you don’t know who the cabal is and how the system works, you only contribute to the problem.
Reality vs Fantasy: How to Stay Grounded in the Material World
I have discussed many philosophers in this conversation. Although Socrates is the main philosopher, we can use the wisdom of all philosophers in our daily lives. Jesus also taught us that truth is the most important thing, and it will set us free. However, we must be cautious of people who mix truth with fantasy, especially if it takes us away from reality.
Recently,
wrote an article on and the deep state organization, which can be overwhelming to comprehend all the different aspects, groups, etc.However, we must remember that reality is simple. There are two things to consider:
firstly, there is a force that oppresses life, and
secondly, the purpose of life is to grow against this force.
This growth is achievable with two resources — love and truth.
Love is a powerful weapon that can regulate our ego and bring divinity into reality. Truth is the blueprint for reality, keeping us grounded and preventing us from falling for illusions and delusions.
As we approach the upcoming election year and with the prevalence of conspiracies, we should exercise caution as we will be bombarded with information to the point of information overload. In my previous article, “Addicted to Information,” I reiterated that the subsequent wars will be fought over information, and we must be careful about the information we receive.
To sum up, if you are interested in discovering the source of truth for all this information, I cannot guarantee whether there is a single source of truth. However, I have laid the foundations of our reality over the past two centuries in my work. My book is about the readers themselves and how they arrived at their current state, and it is an excellent resource for anyone seeking to understand these conspiracies and how to differentiate fact from fiction.
I posit that by reading my book, you will learn to distinguish between reality and fantasy and stay grounded in the material world. By chasing fantasies, we run the risk of being led astray from what we are meant to learn in this world.
Thank you for your time and attention, and I look forward to reading your comments.
I wish you all nothing but success in this amazing journey of life.

I also wonder why none of these "truthers" ever fix the real problems humanity faces. They just talk endlessly about conspiracies and lies (and make millions in the process) yet never address the fallout from these lies. Doesn't it make sense that the elite that they so consistently rail against would simply shut them down in a millisecond if they were telling us any truly dangerous truths? If Alex Jones is pointing in a certain direction, I know to turn the other way and look for what he is NOT talking about. And even a cursory glimpse into Elon Musk's personal life will show you where his loyalties lie. Tucker Carlson? At this point I can't even watch that stupid look he gets on his face any longer when he is interviewing someone.
Actually, Alex has laid it all out. They are depopulating us with vaccines and other means under a blanket agreement through the UN in preparation for the 12,000 year catastrophic event that will be coming in the next 20 years that will bring Apocalyptic tribulations everyone is afraid of. That is the "science" they always refer to, why the Apollo (Sun) space craft went to the moon, why all the tunnels under the US, and why leaders of all countries conspired together to get everyone vaccinated, world wide, spread CV, depopulate and mix races together as one family through immigration. The Reptilian shape shifters and the weird stuff about the matrix is not science, and I don't know about Satan's involvement, or the threat to our souls (Ana). We are all connected to God who is omnipresent and omniscient Consciousness. I don't think they can unplug me from God even in death. Anyway, it helps to know this as it demonstrates the reason why the are so desperate to remain in control to the end. They want to control who survives and who doesn't, and there are those who say that with new technology you can live as long as the real Methuselah. The elite have their bunkers and are in a position to control their survival. Then you say, "Well, if that's the plan, better make it public so we can decide what is best for our survival, and I don't mean more vaccines." According to Revelations, everyone heads for the mountains like Bezos and the SuspiciousObservers on Youtube.
