Alex Jones Promotes Fear Of Radiation Posioning To Justify Price Gouging Of Potassium Iodide

Alex Jones has been one of the primary promoters of fear surrounding the Japanese nuclear reactor disaster over the past several days. He has been telling his audience to purchase Potassium Iodide which is a product that can be used to protect the human body from radiation. Fear promoters like Jones have primarily been responsible for stirring up panic that has resulted in widespread shortages of this product around the country. It has now become obvious as to why Jones was not only fanning the flames of fear surrounding the Japanese nuclear disaster and also telling his audience to purchase Potassium Iodide. Last night the top story on his InfoWars web site was a proclamation that he had some of the last remaining stocks of Potassium Iodide in the United States and would be charging $40 per container of Potassium Iodide.
According to the article they claim it is the least expensive per dose delivery system available.
At $40 per container, this is less than 20 cents per dose for adults. Each container holds 200 adult doses, enough for more than 20 adults. This is the least expensive per dose delivery system out there.
These claims are certainly in question because a quick Google search reveals that the product is still available from other vendors for much less. We found one place that was selling 240 Potassium Iodide tablets for $17.
This is a clear cut case of the Jones corporation prempetively spreading fear of widespread radiation posioning so they can justify selling over priced Potassium Iodide pills. What makes this all the more sick is that there is no indication that any of the radiation from this nuclear reactor accident in Japan is anything to be overly fearful of if you live in the United States. With that said, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being prepared and if you feel the need to obtain Potassium Iodide tablets you should do so. Just don't purchase them from a price gouging fear mongerer like Jones and do your best to seek out from a reputable dealer that does not engage in this kind of immoral business activity. Anybody who seeks to profit off of a fearful public should be boycotted and exposed as a fraud.
Hypocrite Alex Jones Cries Censorship Again

Alex Jones is complaining that the corporate media is censoring the Porter Stansberry End of America advertisement that he helped narrate. This complaint is entirely hypocritical on the part of Jones as we have caught him on various occasions editing certain material out of his radio show archives when callers have mentioned information pertaining to other radio hosts and networks. There have also been numerous reports of moderators deleting and censoring posts on his own message board. Keep in mind that this is the same guy that previously talked about how YouTube was censoring his videos despite the fact that if you search for the term "Alex Jones" in YouTube you'll literally find thousands of videos to choose from. This yet again proves without question that Jones is a hypocritical bull shit artist and this video alert he has just released whining about censorship is nothing more than another cheap public relations stunt.
What makes this even more laughable is that if you listen to talk radio you'll literally hear this advertisement everywhere. If you listen to XM or Sirius satellite radio and tune into the audio feeds of the major cable news networks, this commercial is heard all the time. In fact, it is almost impossible not to hear it if you are tuned in to the audio feeds for just 30 minutes to an hour. Jones has previously said on his show that there are certain radio spots that they won't accept because they don't believe in the product's credibility. Things like magic machines and other assorted snake oil products. Despite this he thinks he can get away with criticizing ABC News and other major corporations for doing the same thing that he has previously admitted doing himself. As much as I dislike the corporate controlled media and what they stand for, they have the right to decide what products they will advertise or not advertise on their networks. Even though it is fair to criticize their decision to not air this advertisement, it is not fair to criticize it when you engage in similar practices that you yourself are criticizing. Simply put, it makes the argument void of any intellctual value.
I am currently working on a film called False Patriots that exposes the Council for National Policy, the John Birch Society, a myriad of guests that regularly appear on the Alex Jones show and the overall fraud of the Christian based Patriot movement. When it is complete, I should contact the InfoWhores team and tell them that I'd like to advertise the film on the Alex Jones show. It is almost 100% guaranteed that they will not accept this advertising and when they don't, it will prove once again that they are a bunch of hypocritical turds.
