 == What is the Correct Spelling of Mr. Jones's Middle Name? == 
 Is the correct spelling of Mr. Jones's middle name Emerick or Emric? 

 In the below Travis County, Texas document it lists an Alexander Emerick Jones: 

 Travis County Commissioners' Court Minutes, March 24, 1998: 

 http://www.co.travis.tx.us/commissioners_court/minutes/1998/03/980324vs.pdf 

 Alex Jones is highly active in the local politics where he lives and has been for some time, so I would be somewhat surprised if that's not a reference to him. Austin, where Alex Jones lives, is the county seat of Travis County. 

 I'm the one who originally put the ""Emerick"" spelling in the Wikipedia article, based on the fact that that was the only ""Alexander Emerick/Emric/etc. Jones"" that I found doing a Google search, i.e., in the above document. I've heard Alex Jones say his middle name on air, but he didn't spell it. This Wikipedia article on Alex Jones has had the ""Emerick"" spelling for some time now. Google still lists no other spelling variation on the name Emerick/Emric other than ""Alexander Emerick Jones."" 

 An edit was only made to the ""Emric"" spelling on by 81.153.133.216 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alex_Jones_%28journalist%29&oldid;=41465109 ), and of whom left no comment concerning the edit. 

 So which spelling is the correct one?  

 == All-Being == 
  Is anything NOT truth?  Knowledge is the light revealing that which was unknown.  If we are honest with ourselves, then we will be honest with the world around us, from perception to communication.  We owe ourselves to face every aspect, every facet, of life, and accommodate each one, even if they do not agree.  Let us learn to befriend ourselves and others, and treat our own lives as a devoted farmer would his beloved animals.  All life has its place, even if some parts of it kill other parts.  Even if one cannot exist in the presence of the other, both still exist.  Basically, we just need to understand that we are dumb fucks, and we don't know shit about much of anything.  That way at least we can look at things with a less pompous eye. 

 :: Jones has approval from a range of supporters as well: 

 * for his ability to draw from a majority of references to mainstream sources, and relate it to a grand theme. 
 * for being willing to stand for his rights as was the case when he was arrested after resisting a thumbprint scan. 
 * for offering a solution to fight the patriot act by appearing in front of a council with an allotted time of 15 minutes. 
 * for speaking out against fear, which we are all so afraid to do. 

 ::Jones can appear to be very energetic and impassioned over his alternative journalism. He appears to have a high level of vocabulary. 

 Either he is very intelligent and very cracked, or he is very honest and very dedicated, and these days, who the hell's gonna know the difference? 

 == No need to apply censorship here == 
 The fact some of us don't like what Mr. Jones says doesn't mean facts about Mr. Jones should not be put here.  On that basis only good people would qualify, no Hitlers and such.  Kindly let me decide if I want to read about Alex Jones.   

 It's not about Jones anyway, it's about us and you.  Do we get to learn about things if I'm inquisitive about them?  Or do we let YOU filter out what you don't like? 

 The criteria for these types of entries in my opinion is whether someone has had some influence on society or has been newsworthy (not that he has a great vocabulary or eloquence, etc.), but some significant enough basis to be noticed maybe not by you, but by a lot of others. 

 Jones clearly has changed a lot of public opinion on important current events, which is not at all easy, and in areas the regular media would not dare touch, not for intelligence but for fear or corruption.  On the other hand he's rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.  Hey, that's life. 

 I suggest we who think its a good topic focus on accurate and relevant content, as a lot of it still seems missing, and keep an eye out for vandals. 

 -Yeah i've noticed a huge right-wing bias on this site just check out the spin on the Bush article and everything they leave out. 

 == Anti Semitism == 
 Some people tend to add the term ""anti-semitic"" to ""controversial"" in the first paragraph. This is f**cking bullshit. With this logic you could label anyone who talks about anything jewish an ""anti-semite"". It really, really hurts me, as this only helps those who are real anti-semites....  
 Yes, he talks about Jews, and not in favourable terms, but he doesn't talk about ""The Jews"", he talks about wealthy individuals who
