In September, 2004 when we were turning up the heat on Mike Ruppert, he made a drastic mistake by underestimating his audience. Y’see, to distract attention away from himself, Ruppert asked a couple of questions that were purely psy-op tactics straight out of the CIA playbook.(The Tragic Fall of Mike Ruppert) Specifically, he floated the notion that I used a pen name because I either had a criminal record, or worked for the government – a very typical ploy when one is desperate.

Well, after seeing how many people foolishly took Ruppert’s bait – hook, line & sinker – I followed-up with my response, which undeniably proved that Ruppert’s attempts at distraction were completely bogus and that he was engaging in what Ralph Omholt calls “Coercive Persuasion.” (Definition: “the methodical – often subtle or even clandestine - application of psychological manipulation.”) This one moment eventually became the turning point where people wised-up and realized that Ruppert was utterly and completely manipulating them with his distraction techniques. And once their eyes had been opened, they never again had faith in what Ruppert had to say, for they saw his phoniness and desperate maneuvers. Months later, Ruppert “resigned” from the 9-11 truth movement, and is currently operating as a front-man for Big Oil with his peak oil sham.

Now, let’s fast-forward to May, 2005. Amazingly, the exact same phenomenon is taking place with Alex Jones and Jeff Rense. Y’see, we posted ten very relevant questions to Mr. Jones on May 6th, and to this day he has refused to answer them. [To their credit, at least Mike Ruppert, and more recently Karl Schwarz, were man enough to stand-up and face their detractors.]

Anyway, instead of answering for his actions, what Alex Jones did was get his Chihuahua trying-to-be-a-pit-bull sidekick Jeff Rense to write some entirely bogus hit pieces about us under the names “Alastair Wiggins” and “Anonymous.” Yes, Jeff Rense wrote these articles, and he’s too cowardly to own up to it.

But wait, their tactics get even more pitiful. To distract people away from Alex’s blatant censorship, our Ten Questions, and an article entitled Alternative Media=Mainstream Media, they’ve started using the exact same gimmicks that Mike Ruppert utilized. This time, though, they’re saying that Lisa Guliani and I are government agents. (I know, truly the acts of desperate people.)

I mean, ya think these guys would have learned their lesson from Ruppert, but they haven’t. It’s actually kind of disappointing because I thought they were brighter than this. So, what we’ve done is sit back and watch to see how many people would get suckered into their trap. And sure enough, even though most EVERYONE saw through Rense’s totally phony smokescreen, a few gullible souls bought it hook, line & sinker.

So, here we go again, folks. It’s time to show you how badly you’re being manipulated. Y’see, we can prove with verifiable evidence that Alex Jones censors articles on his website, along with his radio show archives. I’ll repeat: WE CAN PROVE IT. On the other hand, Jones always says that whenever he talks about the New World Order, he has the data (newspaper articles, documents, etc) to back-up his assertions. And in all honesty, that’s a good policy.

With this in mind, Alex Jones and Jeff Rense, why don’t you put your money where your mouth is and PROVE your claims … prove that Lisa Guliani and I are government agents. That’s not asking too much, is it? Step up to the plate and be men right here and now … either that, or shut up because the people out there listening to you aren’t stupid, and they’re not so easily bamboozled as you think they are.

To show how silly these guys are making their audiences look, I’ll prove that their claims are preposterous.

1) When we started WING TV, we didn’t want to fall into the advertising trap which compromises so many news sources. So we vowed to be 100% independent.

2) To do so, I’ve done what I’ve been doing for years now – I work for a living at an outside job to pay our household bills, and also those for WING TV. In other words, we accept NO advertising, we don’t operate a pay-per-view site that forces people to PAY to watch it, we have no subscription fees, and we have no think tank/corporate donors (like Amy Goodman).

3) To prove this, we invite anybody at any time – including Alex Jones and/or Jeff Rense – to visit us here in State College, Pa. Once here, you’ll see that both Lisa Guliani and I get up at 3:30 am (yes, that’s 3:30 in the morning) six days a week. In addition, I work between 45-50 hours a week at my job, in addition to all my responsibilities on WING TV.

4) Let me tell you a little bit about what it’s like getting up at 3:30 am six days a week. It’s a brutal, ugly picture, especially in the winter where there’s eight-inches of snow and the temperature is ten degrees above zero. On top of that, I only get about four hours sleep a day (five if I’m lucky); and believe me, such a schedule takes its toll on a person’s body.

5) Now don’t get me wrong --- I’m not complaining. Rather, I’m simply showing you what lengths we’ll go to so that we’re not compromised at WING TV. It’s the price we’re willing to pay to be a completely independent media source with no network impositions, advertisers, or peer pressure.

6) So ask yourself: would we get up at 3:30 am six days a week and go on four hours sleep a day if we were some kind of intelligence agents getting tons of money from the government? Trust me – the answer is NO. Furthermore, would Lisa and I spend 65 hours round-trip on a jam-packed, smelly Greyhound bus to Oklahoma City for the tenth anniversary rally? Try it sometime – spend 65 hours on a bus with drug addicts, lunatics, the unwashed, and a wide array of other “interesting” people. Don’t you think that if we were high-priced CIA agents we’d fly on a corporate jet (or at least first class) and dine on steak dinners instead of eating out of overpriced vending machines? I’ll bet when Alex Jones recently visited the GCN studios in Minnesota he didn’t take the bus!

7) Can’t you see what’s going on here, folks? You’ve been suckered again, but this time it’s been done by Jeff Rense and Alex Jones instead of Mike Ruppert. Worse, these guys don’t have enough respect for their audience to answer our questions, or YOURS for that matter. Rather, they have such little regard for you that they deliberately threw out a red herring to distract you away from the REAL ISSUES (like blatant censorship). All of Mike Ruppert’s supporters felt like complete fools when they realized what little games had been played on them; and guess what – now the same thing has been done to you!

Here’s the bottom line: these guys think you’re STUPID! They don’t want you to ask them questions, and they certainly don’t want to answer any. What they do want from you is a nice, passive silence; just like the mainstream media wants from their audience. Is that what you want? To be condescendingly patted on the head and told to shut up and stay in your place? If so, then keep staying silent and you’ll fit perfectly into the little mold they’ve created for you.

On the other hand, if you don’t want to be one of their mindless zombies, then speak up because you deserve some long-awaited answers. As it stands now, Jeff Rense and Alex Jones are two frightened little Company Men using extremely desperate measures to distract their audience away from the truth. If you don’t believe me, then DEMAND that they answer our questions and YOUR questions. We’re not afraid to lay it all on the table for you; why are they?

Folks, they’re playing you for suckers, just like Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh do. They’re making fools of you, and they don’t think you’re smart enough to realize it. How does that make you feel? When they say we're government intel agents, DEMAND PROOF! And if they refuse to provide it (because their claims are completely baseless), then realize that they're lying to you and feeding you a boatload of disinformation.

Jeff Rense Addendum: During the past couple of months, two different Rense columnists have informed us that Jeff Rense told them that Lisa Guliani and I are "cointelpro," and that - get this - we somehow conjured-up the whole "Fintan Dunne" episode with Fintan Dunne. Now, not only is this man too cowardly to actually make these accusations to our face, but he's so far off-base that it's deplorable. For the record, we have only spoken with Fintan Dunne once in our lives, and that's when we interviewed him on WING TV (far in advance of his hit piece on us, Rick Stanley, and Alex Jones). So, once again, Jeff Rense - you sniveling little weasel - either show some proof for your allegations, or shut up and become like the worm you really are and crawl back into your hole. Rense, you are a pathetic little Company Man, and we feel sorry for someone that goes as low as you do.
