    Gonna be honest I have not thought about Alex Jones since Knowledge Fight ended. Honestly I think its been way better for my mental health but I do miss having some inkling as to what is going on in the insane right grifter community.

      Any KF fans also watching the Onion show? I’m curious what people think about it versus some of Dan and Jordan’s concerns.

        Dan has a new show called Show Me State of Mind, and I’m really enjoying it. Scratches that KF itch, and I don’t have to hear Alex any more!

      For every Tuck Buckford, there are a zillion others, all clawing to be the next top grifter. I used to dip into some of their podcasts to monitor the crazy and it’s really quite wild. Most of them all seem to hate each other and the constant alliances and later schisms was rather funny to take in.

      Most of them seem to think others are CIA plants running “psyops”.

      Anyway, here are some of the characters I remember that had books and podcasts, etc. - some of them have died since - Alan Watt, Jan Irvin, the guy that ran Red Ice (used to be kooky conspiracy thing, now openly white supremacist, I guess? I don’t remember that being so apparent in the mid-00s or whenever I last sampled some podcasts), David Icke, Jim Marrs, Jordan Maxwell, Bill Cooper…
