I loved the article as usual and possibly that has emboldened me to make a suggestion. I'm not sure it merits consideration and I'm fully prepared for it to be mercilessly shot down but in the spirit of "I admit it needs some work" what immediately came to my (probably very troubled) mind was "if the headline's a zinger, it's most likely a ringer".

Thank you, Trevor, that's excellent! "Zinger" is a splendid word and isn't used enough!

On the money as always Miri.

One of the things I’ve come to realise since becoming a wearer of hats made of foil is that I can’t know with certainty whether anything that is presented to me on the screen is true. We can have ideas, hunches and gut feelings but we ultimately can’t know whether it is real or fake. However your writings have really helped me sharpen my discernment to the point where it is bleeding obvious that if it’s in the “news” getting massive coverage then at the bare minimum it’s not quite what they are telling us and more likely it’s completely confected

It’s highly unlikely that we will ever know for sure if Bill became Alex but having watched some vids containing very convincing evidence my gut tell me that it absolutely is him. Or possibly was him, as Alex looks to have been switched out recently!

Thank you, Deenzy, really appreciate that feedback, and you are absolutely right about screens - more than ever in the age of AI, obviously.

Yes, I'm convinced by the Hicks / Jones theory, but do believe Jones has been swapped at least once! If you can find very early footage of him from his twenties, teeth are totally different (no gap), so no way is it the same guy....

Real reporting costs money. So, we see newspapers copying others' news to fill pages.

A stabbing in Bacup on Tuesday was reported by the Lancashire Telegraph with the added note:

"This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today, and has been written by our American colleagues. It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald."

I imagine that was copied and pasted from a Glasgow Herald report, which, like the Telegraph, is owned by Newsquest, which, in turn, is owned by the US mass media holding company Gannett, the owners of USA Today.

A quick search shows just how much of our news narrative is controlled by Gannett and Newsquest, which are owned by Fortress Investment Group, who, by the way, are also owners of Poundstretcher, Bargain Buys, Majestic Wines and Punch Pubs!

Eventually, Fortress is owned by Mubadala, an Abu Dhabi state-owned sovereign global wealth fund.

So, how about, 'If it makes the headlines, CEO Khaldoon Al Mubarak probably made it'? (Hmm. Not really that catchy.)

Thanks Kevin, that's very interesting to know.

The death of Gene Hackman seems to have followed closer to traditional ways, with multiple stories before the autopsy was published. The addition of information began to hone the story, which took weeks. For what ever reason, Mr Hackman and his wife were beyond the interests of the 'smarter' set.

Meanwhile other events arrive pre-digested complete with an 'emotion package' within a few hours. Fake - or, more likely, an attempt to re-direct or even fabricate entire segments of record.

As usual Miri, your take on things makes the most sense. I completely agree with this:

"That's how "they" continue to control the narrative - both mainstream and alternative - by planting fake, controlled "conspiracy theories" to bait people into neutralising traps, and stopping them focusing on what is really happening (the "Covid lab leak" being another example of fake, controlled "conspiracy theory" narrative)."

(This piece is also timely as I am currently reading the book "Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon: Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops & the Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream," which is full of "suicides.")

Many thanks, Steph, and yes, that book is excellent - a real eye-opener as to how things really work, as is McGowan's other book, about "serial killers" (strange how we don't have them any more!) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Programmed-Kill-Politics-Serial-Murder/dp/0595326404

I will definitely read his book about serial killers also. I looked up what happened to McGowan after writing these books, and found that he died fairly young of an unusually aggressive cancer: https://wikispooks.com/wiki/David_McGowan

Will order that book thanks. Have recently been watching the 1970’s tv series Police Woman with Angie Dickinson (mainly because my wife loves the fashion 😄) but it’s noticeable how many of the story lines were about serial rapists and murderers breaking into women’s homes.

Great article as always 👍🏻

Again, thank GOODNESS for you. My mother mentioned this story to me and I thought "Hmmm. Something is wrong, but I don't know what...". And then your article came through. What a wonderful relief. Yes - my (albeit less well developed than yours) spidey-sense was right.

Also, Alex Jones, the original is SO CLEARLY *not* Alex Jones the current celebrity. I am particularly confident of this for various reasons, but the main ones are:

I was born in 1974 so I know a lot of other people born in that year (as Alex Jones the original was) and, trust me, no one looks like him. Even the badly aged ones do not look like him. A guy who has taken a lot of coke and behaved as ignobly as Bill Hicks, simply doesn't age that well. And I know someone who has taken crack since he was 16 until 48. He looks WAY better than Bill Hicks now (though, to be fair, my friend is very noble, so I think this has helped him). But really. Even the sedentary beer drinkers look better than Bill Hicks at this stage.

and

When I saw footage of the real Alex Jones from 1997 and before, I was like "ooh, I fancy him". I have NEVER thought that of Bill Hicks who has been playing the part since around 2000. Those are deep intuitive responses. And, although I know loads of men really rave about Bill Hicks (prior to his latest role) and I definitely think he could be funny/spit truth bombs, I always got the sense he was essentially a misogynistic bully (so, you know, definitely not my type).

Thank you, Rosie, and it's so funny you say all this about original Alex, as I have literally made all these points myself in the past, including the fact that the current "Alex" was clearly not born in 1974 and looks much older, and also that the original Alex was very good looking, and the next one was not. His appearance changed dramatically around 2000, and it is not that he simply gained weight - his whole facial structure changed, including, tellingly, teeth. The father of the real Alex Jones is a dentist, so his son, as you would expect, had perfectly straight teeth. Bill/Alex does not, and has the signature gap.

Oh we are SO on the same page on this one. Also, AJ - Original used to look around when asked questions - clearly thinking about it. AJ-Bill Hicks stares straight ahead. I think this indicates whether they are delivering a message (AJ-BH) or openly exploring an idea (AJ-Original). They are just so clearly not the same person.

What do you think happened to AJ-Original?

Miri AF's avatar

Probably paid off and given a new identity, in return for his family going along with the switch. I doubt they killed him, as then the family wouldn't cooperate, but a massive payday was probably quite persuasive!

Rosie's avatar

Can you imagine? I wonder how the negotiations went? Perhaps like this?

"Here's Option A - we kill you and likely several members of your family and make it look like an accident.

Option B, which you might prefer, Alex, is you take this new legal name and $250,000, your family pretend this vile man is you, and you disappear from this area forever - never, ever visiting this area any family or friends ever again.

Which do you want to go with?"

Exactly that. Possibly something similar offered to the family of Paul McCartney, who was definitely swapped out, and again, like AJ - original Paul was very handsome, whereas Faul....

Sorry, but this is the best my wife and I could come up with:

If a story is Worldwide ---- We are being taken for a Ride.

If the story is all Pervasive ---- The truth is likely Evasive

If the story is Omnipresent --- It’s probably Excrement.

If the news is full of it ----- You know its probably S**t

If the Story is in every Paper --- You know its probably a faker.

If the Story is on constant loop -- You know its probably poop.

If the coverage is wall to wall ----- Its probably a load a ball

I will have to check the Virginia Giuffre story out. I bought her death but I think your suggestion she isn't dead has great merit, Miri. I think it's not out of the realm of possibility that she is being Witness Protection Programmed because her life is considered in danger ... but who knows - she could have been some kind of plant all along.

Funny, I've just published an article on the Challenger disaster about the six of seven astronauts still being alive with particular focus on Judith Resnik. https://petraliverani.substack.com/p/the-challenger-disaster-the-plot

I've heard the Alex Jones / Bill Hicks same person theory and I don't buy it.

This is Alex Jones in 1995 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHSnJSQa-68

This is Bill Hicks in 1992 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOfFRDryVQM

I think AJ is very much AJ while Bill Hicks is very much Bill Hicks and Bill Hicks does look a bit older (he would have been about 11 years older in these videos).

Couldn't agree more about the headline thing, however, just because something isn't breathlessly broadcast around the world doesn't mean it isn't fake - they just fake and fake and fake and fake and fake and I see absolutely loads of what look like little psyops in Australia, ones that don't necessarily get much coverage. As you know, Miri, I think the recent Huddersfield stabbing is fake - evidence is not convincing, nor do I think the Khayri McLean one in Huddersfield a couple of years ago was either - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpZnL7jg24w.

Headline: "Huddersfield stabbing: He thought it was another school day."

His girlfriend's mother, Sherrin James, said "he thought it was just a normal school day."

Very, very typical of psyop reporting are statements from witnesses following the pattern "I thought it was ... ". How would Khayri's girlfriend's mother know that Khayri thought it was just another school day and what sense does that statement have in any case? Presumably, he wasn't expecting two guys to jump out at him and stab him just outside his school as he's walking home with friends.

Thanks Petra, interesting as always! On the AJ / Hicks thing, please see my conversation above with Rosie. The original AJ was absolutely not Bill Hicks - but he was switched out in the late '90s. Look at the teeth - original AJ had perfectly straight teeth as one would expect for the son of a dentist. Replacement (current) AJ has the gap... just like BH....

I haven't looked into the Khayri Maclean stabbing, but I know it got a lot of publicity at the time, so wouldn't be surprised if there was some fakery involved. I still think the more recent one was real, however, the establishment is not being honest about the circumstances surrounding it. I will be very interested to see what comes out (and what doesn't) at the trial in October.

Nothing baffles me more than people's opinions on people who they think are someone else or who they don't think are someone else. I remember pointing out the Sandy Hook children grown up a little to my sister and she scoffed - and this is nothing to do with her supporting mainstream stories cos she didn't believe the SH story, it was purely that she didn't think they looked like the same children. I'm like, you have got to be joking, of course, they're the same people. But she thinks some guy being interviewed about the moon landings is really Stanley Kubrick and I'm like he's NOTHING like him, that's insane. And then there's a guy whose blog I follow, Mark Tokarski, who thinks many people have been replaced including Paul McCartney and I'm like no Paul has always been the same person - insane.

I think from a snapshot from the video of young AJ he actually is showing a slight gap and I'm afraid nothing you can say will convince me that he's Bill Hicks, Miri. Sure, he looks pretty remote from what he used to look like but a rough life can do that do you and I think he may have mental health problems.

This is a photo comparison from young to 2010 to now and a young Bill Hicks. With the 2010 shot you still get a sense of the younger AJ with also a sense of the older AJ.

Virginia's name popped up and I thought I'd take a look at the photo of her after her alleged car accident. I think the injury looks like make up and it's very suspicious that the resolution of the image is so low ... so right there is a very good indication that she hasn't died I think but while I think your hypothesis may well be right, Miri, I think it's also possible that she might be disappeared for her own protection. On balance, though, I'd probably favour yours.

I'm on board with most of what you say but have a reserve over Southport. I agree it could be construed as staged but the death of the 3 girls is surely hard to fake? The events following have certainly been utilised by HMG for propaganda and control purposes. It puzzles me!
