| A Conversation with Willie – Alex Jones & Jesse Ventura visit the music icon’s home to catch up on contemporary politics. Part One | |
IN EXCLUSIVE VIDEO, legendary music icon Willie Nelson meets up with former Governor Jesse Ventura and Alex Jones to discuss the implications of the 2008 Election, the effects of widespread economic downturn and lingering questions about 9/11.
Gov. Ventura hopes to challenge the ‘horse-race’ voting mentality that has made both parties unresponsive to the people.
“If we break the trend of electing Democrats and Republicans, and start electing independents, we will get out of the problem we’re in,” Ventura told News 8 Austin, urging people to vote their ‘heart’ and ‘conscience’ outside The Backyard, where Willie Nelson performed at the venue’s final event.

| A Conversation with Willie – Alex Jones & Jesse Ventura visit the music icon’s home to catch up on contemporary politics. Part Two | |
Jesse Ventura and Alex Jones addressed the need to dissent against the status quo and reminded those watching online that the First Amendment is meant to protect even unpopular speech.The former Minnesota Governor said people cannot be afraid to criticize the government. He insisted that patriots must ‘hold government’s feet to the fire’– otherwise, bad government will result.
Ventura was a political rarity, as an unexpected independent victor in Minnesota’s 1998 Gubernatorial race, a clear threat to the two-party dictatorship that dominates the political landscape.
Willie Nelson lambasted the government’s corrupt bailout of Wall Street while the traditional family farm continues to erode away in the wake of economic downturn, allowing corporate farming to further dominate.

| Meeting the Mind: Former Governor Jesse Ventura discusses the 2008 Election and 9/11 – Part One | |
Last week, the ardent Farm Aid activist challenged Hank Paulson and Ben Bernanke to bailout the family farm, instead.
“I have written a letter as president of Farm Aid to whoever controls that money that we would like to have $1 billion dollars from that 700….$1 billion dollars is I think all we’ll need to turn the economy around if we start out taking care of our family farmers,” Nelson told The Alex Jones Show.
Former Gov. Ventura, Author of ‘Don’t Start the Revolution Without Me’ also joined Alex in the car where he explained the problem with the fact that many government agencies simply refuse to discuss the official 9/11 story.

Ventura criticized government agencies for putting out reports and being unwilling to defend them, and simply refusing to answer any questions.
“If they’re not hiding something– let me put it this way– they’re certainly not cooperative.” If government reports are truthful, Ventura challenges, “then why does the government behave in a manner that makes them look guilty of something and then allows conspiracy theorists the foothold to go with that.”
Governments, Ventura says, simply issue their reports and take no questions from anyone. And that just can’t stand.

Unaccounted government will only lead to greater abuses, which in turn will demand greater resistance on the part of its people. Ventura and Nelson, veteran renegades of the 60s and 70s, say they’ve seen the history cycle through more than once already.
They only hope people now awake to government abuses can stay awake long enough to make a difference this time around.
Both Gov. Ventura and Willie Nelson have appeared on the Alex Jones Show to discuss their doubts about the official 9/11 story, particularly the apparently inconsistent manner in which the Twin Towers and WTC 7 collapsed after two planes struck the World Trade Center on 9/11.

Video the Vote went to Jackson County, WV, in response to numerous reports of machine vote flipping. The local county clerk showed us the machines in question, but the demonstration left us with serious questions, as the machine continued to malfunction even after it was calibrated.

Notice the candidates it switches to. Maybe we do have a chance, Or they are just trying to make us feel better. LOL
October 28th, 2008 at 7:05 am
News to Nelson-there is no money to bail out anyone, it is all on paper alone, just figures…though his intent was right…
October 28th, 2008 at 9:11 am
Yes exactly! People need to realize that you don’t have to vote Repulican or Democrat. This whole mindset of just voting for the lesser of two evils is bullshit. Try not voting for either one. There are a lot of good independent canidates out there right now. I say we show the bastards who’s boss and fucking vote and independent in.
October 28th, 2008 at 9:17 am
Don’t you mean Paul/Ventura 2012.. No offense but Ventura’s ideas about our borders are off the wall..
October 28th, 2008 at 10:38 am
no ones in denial about the voting fraud anymore but no ones going to do anything about it just like the last election. i guess we cross our fingers and hope for the best but we know we’ll get the worst. i wished i could be more optimistic but i feel we allowed this to go on far too long.

It is not that complicated. People make it complcated. When some lazy ass person says well…………. I’ll just have to vote for the lesser of two evils. Don’t they realize that is still a vote for evil. I am so sick of people using that as an excuse for sticking their head in the sand and won’t even take the energy to learn about the independents. Right now…….yes, this very election, we still have a choice by voting for RON PAUL protege’ Chuck Baldwin. He echoes everything Ron tried to get out to the American people. Of course, most never heard of him because they keep drinking the same ol kool-aid from the major meda outlets. and, those media giants sure as hell aren’t going to tell the American people there are other choices besides the two clowns (obama & mccain). Unfortunately, most of America is too busy watching dancing with the stars than opening up their computer and do alittle digging. Americans claim that they’re pissed off! well, how pissed off are you? pissed enough to get off your ass and vote an independent???????? My guess is that most of the readers of this site are fully aware of our options. It’s the rest of America that needs to wake the f.ck up!
October 28th, 2008 at 11:53 am
We are going to hang all pundits who have liedthrough thier teeth. I mean you Sean Hannity and the rest of you at FOX news. You are slime, How descustomg bastards.
October 28th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
Gov. Ventura, Willie Nelson, and Alex Jones are true patriots. We need more true patriots in this country, now more than ever. Get off the two party paradigm koolaid and wake up to the tyranny and corruption inherent in it. The Democrats and Republicans are bought and paid for by the banksters, by the corporations and by special interest. They don’t represent we the people and they never have. Support third party candidates that challenge the two party dictatorship. Like Govenor Ventura says, if you do vote, vote your heart and vote your conscience.

Alex Jones, it kind of makes me sick that you (who have declared your faith in Christ Jesus) are falling all over these guys, especially Jesse Ventura who is as anti-Christian as they come. And Willie? Well, who is Willie Nelson? He’s a dope smoking hippie musician. So, please, tell me where the cred is. So, they don’t like the way things are going in America. Whoa! Big time radicals! So we should all kneel at the altar of these old hippies who really know how to be radical? I mean, honestly, smoking weed on top of the White House qualifies someone as a radical? I’ll tell you what’s radical: someone who is willing to tell folks that they are living in sin and need to repent. ONLY JESUS can open your eyes to the truth of what’s going on in this world, because the forces of the NWO are spiritual. The enemy is a spiritual enemy, and you cannot fight that enemy with natural means. Unless you are born again by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ, cleansed by His blood which He shed on the cross of Calvary, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven, and that kingdom is not of this world.
To Jesse Ventura: Yes, Jesus Christ is indeed a crutch, and I will lean on Him 24/7. What or who do you lean on? Yourself? Then you are your own god and that is the original sin. As Lucifer said in the garden, “ye shall be as gods”. You are the blind leading the blind. Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. ALL OF THIS—- the 9/11 “truth”, the conspiracy theories, all the expos’es of the world bankers and evil men– it’s all leading to ONE THING: the return of Jesus Christ. Lucifer has his end game, true. But GOD has HIS own end game. And just like the first time Lucifer tried to outwit God, he will lose and lose utterly. One day we will look upon him who is the deceiver of all nations and will be shocked that such a lowly scumbag serpent could have had such a lock on the world. Repent! for you don’t know the hour when you will come face to face with the One who created you, who requires obedience to His laws and His ways. You will face Him, better to face Him with the blood of Jesus covering your sins than to face Him in your own nakedness.
If you do not have the Spirit of Truth, which is the Holy Spirit, then you cannot know Truth, you deceive yourself thinking you are enlightened. Repent. Only then will your eyes be opened.
Fire away all you Christian haters. I’d rather have Jesus and be hated then to be left in the darkness of my own sin, a pawn of the devil, duped into thinking that to be against Christ and his followers means I’ve evolved, I’m so enlightened and am far superior. Nonsense.

SAMUAL ADAMS: my god does not discriminate and either should you.
October 28th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Anti-Christian or dope smoking, I know for certain that these guy’s are much sharper then your average American and certainly more convincing then your presidential candidates. And, if I may add, about 200 X smarter then your President of that last 8 years or so. It’s time for American’s to start using there head for what it was meant to be and take you fucking stupid Yahoo pride and throw in your back pockets before the only change you are going to see is the bit you have left in your pockets.
October 28th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
Samual,
Just because they have other views than Christianity doesn’t mean that you have nothing to do with the. You never know what word, phrase, or divine intervention may happen to them to make them see something that will bring about faith that Alex may say one day. As far as pot, it grows naturally and I believe God put it on the earth to be a pain killer that has been proven to help so many, and the pharma companies know this and this is why it is illegal. That and it keeps many people in prison working for slave labor wages or for free plus all the money they get from the taxpayers who pay for the state to keep them there which goes to the bankers who lend the money for all of these prisons to be built.
Just now hearing Wilie, he says he went to church and was told Jesus would reign for 1000 years and he said he couldn’t wait, so I wouldn’t be to quick to say he is not a Christian for smoking pot. I don’t go to church because they are all misled and judeo zionist churches, and I am saved. I smoke pot too if I can get it which is rare since I don’t know anyone, because I have nerve pain and stuff going on with bones and joints that I don’t even know why, and it helps a lot. God provided this earth with everything we would need.
You know, I have an infatuation with Steve Perry of Journey and I have no idea his views on religion and I say let everyone find their own way to their spiritual side and if you can help, that is fine. God has them exactly where they need to be at this time, as he has us exactly where we need to be at this time. I even went to “devilish” rock concerts when I was young and I still have a connection to God. I am not perfect and I don’t judge people because of that, so if Jessie doesn’t believe and Wilie smokes pot and Alex admires them, than so what. They are doing so much for our cause and Alex is grateful, as most of us truthers are.
We need high profile people. Alex was so alone in this NWO thing in the beginning, plus his eyes open at the same time ours do about some things as we find out together. Watch him way back in his video during the Waco disaster and you can see that he still didn’t know all the evil that we have found out about the gov since then. He is sincere and sincere people are joining him. This isn’t all about religion.
October 28th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
we need real men////////////// wake up very nice
October 28th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
YOU ARE RIGHT! not all of the minute men were christians either, but none of the ” fashist bastards ” TODAY are, except for a few like ron paul. WE NEED MEN WHO SPEAK UP, PERIOD , and in most cases their personal habits have to ignored. HOW ABOUT SOLOMAN in the bible?? 700 HORS AND 300 WIVES, but God did use him, hope he repented!? dino.
October 28th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
so many people who claim to be Christians have so much contempt and hate in what they say, its quite ironic when you think about it.
I’m not saying you have to love everyone, but just because someone hasnt came around to your way of seeing things isnt reason to start speaking negatively about them. I found that if people treat me negatively, i.e. with no respect or arrogance i will probably ignore what they are saying, not that i would refute their claims it would just dis-interest me if it got to a level of annoyance i know everything i have came to realise in this life so far i have either found out myself or someone has told/taught me in a respectful and constructive way, i dont think ive ever came to a realisation of any kind after being berated by someone else.
Anyway, my point is, to use an old cliche… “you will catch more bees with honey rather than vinegar” when people engage in a respectful and helpful way it makes things alot easier in my experience, i have the problem that i can get quite frustrated with people if they cant see my point of view aswell, but then again if they respond to me and take what i say on board rather than mock or critisize my comments then all usually goes well.
October 28th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
Alex Jones must name the names behind 9/11, or he might as well
give up now. Beyond Bush and Cheney, the book “9/11 Evil”
is very persuasive. It explains the event as a Zionist plot, and
identifies the key players. Fear of the ADL is a poor excuse for
not discussing this.
October 28th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
That’s not a bad team: Ventura/Nelson. Pres/VP.
October 28th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
You know what! There should be more parties running. I think it is censorship of those whos voices are not counted. That’s to eliminate who and who can not be on the ballot. Eliminate petition signators to put a candidate on the ballot. Diversity of political parties and ideas are needed to elimiate Choice A or B.
October 28th, 2008 at 5:44 pm
I didn’t expect Alex to be such a good driver. Jesse sure likes to talk. Willie is a great listener, wish he could have spoken a bit more. And it would have been nice of Jesse to drive the point of 9/11 a little harder in his interview with the newsman. Other than that we’re fucked. No one wants to listen or admit that 9/11 was a big ass inside job right in our face. Psychology of it might be too much. The people who pulled it off probably counted on that. Regardless we might as well keep up the good work. Great job with these interviews.
October 28th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
This doesn’t involve cloudy religions but a real simple concept: RIGHT VS. WRONG. And American leadership no longer recognizes the difference.
Several years ago the newspaper had an article about the famous Ted Turner of CNN/ AOL Time Warner fame having taken more than $100,000.00 as a government subsidy for one of his side businesses, a corporate farm. It was shocking so rich a man would take a government handout.
Later in the news millions of his generous wealth was donated overseas. All the while small American farmers struggled, and little children in Appalachia went hungry. Illegal drugs killed daily, children suffered from broken homes, and addicted Americans were poured into prisons for profit.
While a close examination of Mr. Turner’s generosity might prove a well-balanced and fair philanthropy, still this point is made regarding government handouts and who gets the money.
It was enraging then, and moreso now as the government dives to bail out those wealthy ones who elected them, those accustomed to splendid surroundings, fine cuisine, and financially motivated social/political maneuvering. These companies, private and public, incorporate the costs of their political contributions, charity donations, vacations and cocktail social parties into costs passed on to consumers for goods and services provided.
In other words, when you purchase electricity, or phone service, did you realize a portion of your money is possibly backing a particular political candidate or PAC, golf or athletic event, or a particular charity? Is it right that a company can overcharge consumers and then use that money for influencing government, gaining political power, and financing social functions?
It’s why corporations rule the government. They do it with YOUR MONEY, and then send lobbyists to influence Congress to write more laws in THEIR favor, to make THEM even richer, with YOUR MONEY.
What normal American has a grandmother struggling to pay a phone bill, unaware she’s possibly subsidizing athletic tournaments, funding political candidates, lobbyists, or social gatherings for the very wealthy?
What small farmer wants to sacrifice college for his children to pay taxes in subsidizing Ted Turner’s farm?
How can we uncover foreign bank accounts, and confiscate ill-gotten wealth to help curb this insane debt incurred upon our grandchildren?
When will Americans demand the CIA account for its actions? People in Europe are scared to death of the CIA, and so are most Americans.
How different was it with Nazis in Germany when the German population only had “rumors” of gas chambers but weren’t aware of what the TRUTH was? Six million people, including political dissenters, jews, journalists, gay people, and Christians died before the world woke up and stopped those horrors.
At some point Americans will have to awaken and demand accountability, truth, and open government. They must demand that Congress and all government employees work for THE PEOPLE and not corporations, private companies, or businesses who are overcharging the public to get control of the government.
Americans have been asleep all the while padded prices, and lobbyists have created Corporate Gods with runaway power.
Wake up, America! The coffee’s on fire!

Why this was put out on youtube and infowars.com first before being put up on prisonplanet.tv (and as of this posting still not up on there) for the subscribers is beyond me. Especially since this is just videos of them hanging out and talking, and not ground-breaking news. That’s one of the big incentives to subscribe to prisonplanet.tv and give them our money in the first place, is to get the exclusive, high quality content. I’m not at all saying that everyone doesn’t deserve to get to see this stuff, but the fact that it wasn’t even posted to prisonplanet.tv in high quality at the same time as the youtube videos kind of erks me. I’m hoping I’m correct in my assumption that the prisonplanet.tv videos are being posted late because they are going to be the full 3 or 4 hours of the recordings that were so highly bragged about on the show on Monday, instead of these 5-10 minute clips. If that is the case then all is forgiven. It just seems like lately (the last couple of weeks) prisonplanet.tv hasn’t been giving their subscribers the “exclusiveness” that is always talked about. That isn’t to say that there isn’t a lot of excellent content there, but for hard core infowars junkies who have seen all that by now are hungry for new, high-quality material. Thanks for understanding.
October 28th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
I was just listening to some older gentleman, he was speaking before a small crowd and he mentioned the fact that you could still register to vote if you had not at this time. He looked a little confused, because he could not have imagined that ANYONE was not registered. Then he said, “Talk to me afterward in private, because I know you don’t want to admit that you have not registered” He said that as if voting ever solved anything. After all these years we’ve been voting and nothing really ever happens that helps US. But some people are still in the dark on this and many other issues.
These are the same people who say, “How dare you? (suggest 911 was an inside job!)
From the bewilderness–thanks for coming!

I am not, in this case, going to read any past comments on the “two party system. The fact it is even argued is irrelevant. If you really think your vote counts at this point I cannot imagine why.
Who has the final say? the ELECTORAL COLLEGE votes the President in..
I cannot beleive people are still “self-convinced” their vote is anything more than a formal motion to go through a process to convince themselves their actual vote matters.
If I am wrong.. I surely will check back for any VALID information to prove me wrong.
Enlighten me…

And, if I may add, about 200 X smarter then your President of that last 8 years or so.
[Little too late to point that out now. The US citizen should have figured that out in 2000. But they didn't and they won't figure it out in 2008.]
It’s time for American’s to start using there head for what it was meant to be and take you fucking stupid Yahoo pride and throw in your back pockets before the only change you are going to see is the bit you have left in your pockets.
[If you have declared them stupid.. what do you really expect for results?]
People are too emotional oriented to actually think anymore ACL. Do you not get it?
I won’t waste time arguing with you. I do not like the prospect of Obama or McCain being President.. but those are the choices. Forget the Independents.. they have done nothing to get on the radar screen.. so again, we must choose the lesser of the two, but nonethe less , evils. This alone will slow down the demoise of the last free Republic on earth.

The scent of revolution is in the nostrils of people of all races and religions and is spreading like a grass fire right now. As more and more prominent people come out Like Jesse and Willy to promote liberty then the grass fire will then hit the timber and create a bomb fire that will from the ashes rejuvenate our civilization from the decaying perverse state it is at present. On with the renaissance! May all nations live in peace and enjoy the fruits of the coming golden age. I salute you Alex Jones for your bravery and in site.

You know this is like a cafe shop talk. It almost makes you wonder who else you know might walk in. Those days or coffee talk shops need to come back and with the hard times, people will come in and have that cup of coffee and a place for people to get out and away from home so those problems don’t seem like your the only one going through those times. The talk i was hearing was how to wake people up MORE to the truth that something OTHER than what OUR Government or Gearge Bush said happened. How do we get those who think the conspiracy was a Just that somebody dreaming what happened when in all actuality, Really has happened? Coffee shops, again i believe will make it through these rough and financial times. It gives people an awareness and a feeling of belonging. many a good “Fireside Chats” often resembled the talks as here in these Videos. People need to sit amng these talks and hear the truths and the storys supporting those truth that there was a cover u with 9/11! Things happening today are a real result from. Some of us can “SEE” things much easier than those who don’t. In time, These people will be behind those seekers looking for the truth. Like they say, Truth ALWAYS PREVAILS! Keep up the Great work Alex and Willy and Jesse. You can say these are some of the New Good ole Boys. Taking the place of those who have been gone from us all as we remember them to be. Always Been riding with “The Midnight Riders”!

Casual Observer, It is true about Presidential elections & the electoral college.
Note that as far back as Teddy Roosevelt in the Bull_moose party, no third party candidate
have received any electoral votes except George Wallace (his homestate).
Although Ross Perot received nearly 20% of the popular vote, he gained no electoral votes;
even in the Democratic Party, Mondale and McGovern in ‘72 both came close to almost NO electoral votes even as mainstream candidates (I think Mondale had like 9 electoral and McGovern only 4, or something extremely low like that)….
At any rate, it is good to run third party for Senator or Congressman, however; they are based on popular vote, and even the establishment can’t control every region. I think Ventura should have run for Senate, because he very likely would have won, but alas, who could say?
Forget about winning the presidency, but it isn’t impossible to remove members of the two-party dictatorship at the local representative level for national office. A few strong Congressmen could make issue, at least it is possible.
So there’s an honest response to your question–

How do you lose a 116 petitions? (Ray McGovern was a CIA analyst, why do you trust him, especially what he said about 3rd parties and the ending interchange with Jason)
P,S, Jason, I saw Cynthia M. on C-Span the other day and she indicated that there would a good chance she would be involved with O’Bama(nation), post election in some way.

Why didn’t you run for president Jesse? I guess you would rather sit and smoke on Willy’s bus instead of doing anything. You’re old. You’re fat. And you are tired. All talk now, and no action.

I agree.. My thoughts.. The ONLY way to break the twoparty system is as soon as this election is over.. find 2 pr 3 people willing and viable to be thrid party candidates and beginning on January 20th 2009 they begin to do commercials and run for president for 2012 monitoring every lie the elected candidate claimed he would accomplish and exposing the crooks in GVT every time they screw up and break the “good ole’ boy system of politics down so that by the enxt election he/she/them would be a household name and a familiar face. That would require support for 4 solid years and millions…
And realistically it may take a few elections then.

If a thrid party candidate could just get on both American Idol and Dance with the Stars”.. It would be unanimous in 2012.

God can use anyone and who are you to judge who is a Christian and who is not? Do you have any friends or colleagues who are pre believers? Or do you go through life staring at them thinking, “Get thee behind me, devils?”
If that is your attitude then I feel sorry for you. Jesus hung out with beggars, thieves, prostitutes and money lenders. Sure He asked them to change their ways, He forgave them and made them as new, but in HIS time, not yours. You forget the one principle of true faith, loving your brother no matter who or what he is and I am not for one moment making a judgement call on whether Jessie V is a Christian or not, I don’t know. But if we all ran around avoiding everyone who did not believe as we do, then how in the world would anyone ever know any different from what it is that they already do?
Think about it.
