He is now 5th in the entire world with an amazing 2777.5, the highest an American has ever achieved. His great streak in the ongiong Reggio Emilia tournament has helped him achieve a staggering number. I have thoughts that he may one day challenge for the world champion title and win.

Fischer maxed out at 2785 all those years ago, and of course he was #1.

As for becoming WC, it's a long shot. Carlsen is younger and better.

Type it backwards into your browser followed by ".com" Laughing Seriously, do it. You'll be surprised (although it's been shown to be somewhat misleading).

I wonder that myself sometimes. He does make money off it. On the other hand, he has withheld using his copyright in order to get his message out. So I dunno, a guy has to eat. Now I think I should get off this track. I sense a cunning trap. Laughing

I don't like Alex Jones for reasons that other people may like him. I don't like his exploitation of people. How he gets people to the point of hopelessness and then brings them into his flock. It's like a cult. It's really creepy. He also seems to enjoy tragedies. He feeds off of them. He sells things based upon people's fears. I don't like him. I think he's the classic salesman. Totally fake. There is so much material, past and present, which is much easier to personally investigate than that guy offers. I don't trust Alex Jones. Please go to other sources to investigate the corruption in the government of the United States.

I can see what you're saying. In the end we all need to think for ourselves.

I only glanced at Alex Jones website, but judging from some of his interviews with acknowledged experts like Willie Nelson, Charlie Sheen(!) and the totally repulsive ignoramus Jesse Ventura* I would recommend that anyone interested in reality news as opposed to alternate reality check out Jim Hightower, Amy Goodman, and The Nation and Mother Jones magazines instead.  

BTW the first link show when you type in Illimunati backwards is interesting, and probably more newsworthy than Alex Jones, although of course I'd recommend taking everything they say with a grain of salt if they're your only source of info on a particular subject. 

* On the other hand, Jesse maybe bright enough to know every conspiracy he espouses is total BS and he doesn't care, just as long as he's making money off of other people's ignorance and paranoia.

Okay, so maybe Jesse is no Walter Cronkite...but the guy sure knew how to dress up:
