(2) Erase and Reboot. Since almost every conspiracy at ATS has been influence by Jones, start your research over from the beginning. Forget everything you know about 9/11, JFK, and Roswell. Do not cling onto anything. Let it all go and start over.
(3) Admit to yourselves when your WRONG!
(4) Do not give up on the research, but give up on an argument you cannot make. Once you have done research to prove or disprove a theory, present it as a starting point for debate. Its not factual, but it 'could' lead to a logical revelation.
(5) Do not believe in anything from the start. If a conspiracy or narrative is too complex, it was most likely a fabricated piece of information. Simple explanations are more likely to be true.
(6) Admit you know nothing. I am not talking about in the forums, but I am talking about admitting to yourselves.
You are all good human beings, and Alex Jone's stupidity is his own undoing. Do not make his problems your problems. Do not own his pathetic lies, narratives, etc... Always watch out for someone who will take his place.
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
Good luck.

I think a lot of people defending Jones and infowars in this thread simply aren't aware of the scope of the fraud involved in this stunt. People are upset because Jones hyped the event as a massive bombshell that would shock the world, make national news headlines, and be the biggest story of his 14yr career. Charlie Sheen interviewing President Barack Obama on behalf of the 9/11 Truth Movement would, in my opinion, qualify as the biggest thing Jones has ever done. Getting Charlie Sheen to draft up a fictional interview however definitely would not qualify.
So when the "interview" first appeared on infowars without the disclaimer, I'm compelled to believe that it was done intentionally in order for the scope of the event to fit everybody's expectations. This coupled with the fact that infowars has decided to cover up the fraud instead of dealing with it responsibly tells me that this was no accident. Clearly it was a stunt to generate interest in a non-event event and it was an epic failure for Mr. Jones.
Anyone who knows the facts and believes otherwise probably has some kind of attachment to Mr. Jones that is preventing them to think critically about this whole situation.

Hoax or not, this definitely had a potential to hurt the truth movement.

A lot of people in the movement who dedicate their time to informing people have most likely e-mailed this letter to friends and many others on their own e-mail lists and in good faith presented it as factual. When the recipients find out it's fake, it's going to blow up in the face of the person who sent it to them.

With most of it being done from within.

If just one person read it?? What you apparently don't realize is that none of the info in that fabricated interview was new.

It's always been out there for people to read if they were so inclined or if someone passed it on to them.

Now it has a taint on it and whoever sent it out in good faith that it was a real interview is tainted now too.

I obviously get it, what you and all those jumping on the bash Jones band wagon are missing, is that the information wasn't supposed to be new reading for us (awake), it was for those that hadn't or refuse to read it (asleep).
