How do you identify this Micheal Rivero person? Well if you look at his site it's very apparent he's a antisemitic conspiracy theorist who is one of those "Israel rules the world" types which he believes that "Israel/Mossad did 9/11" as well.

Although I did find a blog that counters most of his conspiracy theories...

Also this rationalwiki page:

http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/What_Really_Happened

(Honestly though, those are the only two sites I can think of that comes closest to debunking Rivero's material)

Of course the most troubling of all though if you look through his site deeper enough, it becomes very apparent he seems to promote a conspiracy theory that Israel is going to start WWIII by either by attacking Iran or Syria themselves or "using the U.S. to do it for them" (which he also believes it'll draw in Russia and China due to "defense pacts" if Iran or Syria is attacked) so they can have all the land for themselves or something like that.

He especially says this alot:

Quote:
So what we have here is the potential for not a regional, but a global thermonuclear war over an alleged Iranian weapons program which cannot, to date, be proven to exist.
Is this all bullshit? Most likely it is. ]]> People Debunked Rroval http://metabunk.org/threads/1612-whatreallyhappened-and-Micheal-Rivero Global Research http://metabunk.org/threads/1599-Global-Research?goto=newpost Tue, 14 May 2013 07:10:06 GMT The site Global Research showed up in a post to me from a friend. It seems to be another conspiracy site.

Do y'all have any more on it? ]]> People Debunked Cairenn http://metabunk.org/threads/1599-Global-Research Deliberately misleading vs. misinformed/misunderstand valid evidence/logic http://metabunk.org/threads/1589-Deliberately-misleading-vs-misinformed-misunderstand-valid-evidence-logic?goto=newpost Sun, 12 May 2013 16:30:25 GMT In the forums I have seen individuals argue their case using 'evidence' that has already been shown to be a load of hooey and also using logical fallacies (ie.. ad hominem attacks: "you are a disinformation agent!"). I have even seen some people hold the belief that Alex Jones actually believes the claims that he makes (I think he intentionally misleads others). I am curious how others make the distinction between when someone is simply mistaken versus when someone is intentionally making assertions they do not even believe in in an effort to mislead. Anyone care to share their thoughts? ]]> People Debunked Critical Thinker http://metabunk.org/threads/1589-Deliberately-misleading-vs-misinformed-misunderstand-valid-evidence-logic Debunked Persons Directory http://metabunk.org/threads/1582-Debunked-Persons-Directory?goto=newpost Sat, 11 May 2013 04:44:50 GMT Hopefully we can keep this organized for future use. :) * Anderson, Cassandra (http://metabunk.org/threads/815-Debunking-Cassandra-Anderson)...

Alex Jones constantly toots his horn about his website traffic and how it and drudge are so popular and I just heard him recently claim that he reaches up to 60 million radio listeners since the Boston Bombing.

When speaking of website traffic, Alex always cites alexa.com who only counts page hits from people who use the alexa toolbar. I don't know anyone who even uses toolbars let alone alexa, but for what it's worth I did check alexa, and infowars.com does appear to have more traffic than alot of other news sites..... From people who use the alexa toolbar.


But I would like to know if there is a more accurate way to see where websites really stand relative to the rest of the internet. I would also like to know if there is any way to prove how listeners are tuning into his show. ]]> People Debunked AluminumTheory http://metabunk.org/threads/1549-Website-traffic-and-radio-audience-of-Alex-Jones-Infowars-Prison-Planet-etc
