the alex Jonsess

The Alex Joneses among us As we are coming up to Christmas, which is a feast for the advertisers, and it is impossible turning or switching on the radio or TV without getting an earful of sentimental songs flung at morning tired adults before the first cup of coffee PS. There was a time when one could write: a cup of coffee and a cigarette, we are glad tobacco is no longer in our mind and body.

Elon Musk has done us a service by letting his Twitter be a place for the burning questions to be aired. Yes, at the same place where the perfectly awful vulgarian and bigoted interviewer, Piers Morgan, spews his opinions, for many who see him as a spokesperson for despicable lies and shallow thinking He is tolerated and has many fans among those who do not reflect upon his utterings. As for Alex Jones, a famous radio host, who has a theory of so many things and many of his views involve Jews, a group of people who hold American Politicians in a fateful grip of corruption and the weaponizing of the Holocaust and in its holy name, special privileges In Europe, Alex Jones is not well known I think he is seen as an outspoken Billy Graham, a man I once saw in the late fifties, preaching under a circus tent to thousands of applauding Norwegians, many of whom thought he looked like Wild West Cowboy. The good thing about an outlet like Twitter it gives those with views contrary to the officials have a place to air their opinions, without being branded a ban
