Iced Earth Founder Jon Schaffer {In-Studio} on Alex Jones Tv 3/4:Sons of Liberty

[Eyllloween]

US and Europe should be ready to bend towards the other regions of the world in order to have a peaceful synergetic economical climate. I do not see it happening with the next elections. I on the opposite am afraid of the extremist attitude of the western countries because their leadership is fading.

U.N should work more lika a pro sport league if you ask me... no lock out if possible, and there should be a world cap management for human necessities (water, peace, health..).

[rhadiel]

Do we really suck or what... being known as a country only association with Ceasusescu... Romania is a great country though. Too bad it's being inhabited :P

[shjoed]

Great interview between 2 geniuses. Check out the Sleepy Hollow Aristotles lantern video. Mixes music style of Iced Earth and Alex's message. read the lyrics!

[YoJimBoHugabaJoe]

like the show but have to say alex is really rude, always interrupting

[piratebri]

Jon Schaffer is one of the most down to earth guys on the planet.

[CycleSeth]

I hope he watches Glen Becks show. 90% of the things Jon writes about has come from Glen Becks mouth several times. And i do believe Jon should make more albums like this, and be the lead singer. This is top notch stuff.

[mtuers]

@CycleSeth Sure, but that other 10% is what could lead people down the totally wrong road.

[mtuers]

@mtuers ...10% of what Glenn Beck is saying, that is.

[Whackooyzero]

Matt Barlow should stay the lead singer. Please don't have Jon be the only singer.

[JadedDragos]

Ummmm you do know that Matt has nothing to do with this right?

[Whackooyzero]

ummmm, you did watch the video right? It's when Alex says he thinks Jon should be the lead singer of Iced Earth, because he thinks he's better.

[madameedith]

He has a friend in Sarajevo? That's surprising, I'm from Croatia, I've been IE fan for years.

[traffictragedy03]

Jon Schaffer should turn into a super saiyan

[bergaros]

DONT TREND ON ME IS FOR METALLICA

[Urgi2020]

JON FOR LEADER FOR THE AMERICA OF EQUAL!

Btw, I am from Serbia, and I saw from a 1 kilometer a tyranny of USA :(

[jbrider555]

Watch your step around me

Im trying to live free

[IcedEarth426]

"Don't listen to what [these people] say, you have to watch what they do"...truer words have never been spoken. Not only applies to politicians, but everybody.

[crypter27]

So true,trust your gut!

[crypter27]

Thats right were the majority!

[pAbedaNSK]

ur talkin toa person with an iq over 180 and the future world chess champion, i suggest u stfu u little shit

[lordatramentous]

@pAbedaNSK LMAO! I don't believe you have an iq over 180... but I do believe you must be some sort of comic genius to sound so stupid.

[vman996]

Thats right, How many of the sleeping slaves have oppinions on 911, Global warming etc, but the small amount of false info they have is from the TV and Media.

As far as I'm concerned, If you dont do the research, then you dont have an oppinion.

[pAbedaNSK]

iced earth=trash

[CreepingMartyrium]

@pAbedaNSK

if you have something to say and like to have an intelligent conversation, do it, otherwise...shut you fuckin mouth

[Decklocation]

Get a good music taste then come back to us.

[freethinker4liberty]

Ì`m afraid it may be too late`

It may very well be too late to overthrow these people peacefully because they control too much of the wealth and power in the world. However, the people they will have to use to destroy our resistance are people just like you and I, and time will come when the police force and the army will no longer take orders to kill us and enslave us. That will be their downfall.

[shadowlorde]

has anyone read george orwell's book 1984? our government reminds me of that book .. in TOO many ways .. hail shaffer.. hail iced earth.. hail sons of liberty and hail metal .. the only music left with logical thought behind it .

[freethinker4liberty]

Everyone has read that book, but not everyone has understood its implications and its parallels to our global society.

[Stormrider9]

Indeed? My parents LIVED in the Soviet Union. You think you live in a totalitarian society? Believe me, if it really were one, this mere remark would have led to a lifelong prison sentence.

[freethinker4liberty]

I grew up in Yugoslavia in the late 70s and through the 80s. In many ways, families had more freedom there then they do now, and while product availability has gone up tremendously, this does not freedom make. It is just an illusion of choice. In fact, freedom has eroded in the Balcans since false capitalism (corporatism) took over.

[gunstar9]

Flobots... hiphop still has logical thought behind it too.

[murisv]

A VERY VERY good friend of mine is the guy Jon has mentioned, the guy from Sarajevo who did design.

Whatsoever, first time I played Alien vs. Predator was at his flat. :D:D

[elegyrulz]

Jon Shaefer wouldnt have written "When The Eagle Cries " if he thought the same way he des right now! He finally got rid of stupid patriot bullshit that the GOv feed people with(questioning authority being unpatriotic and anarchist)!

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. Time for Part 4.

[whatthefluk]

Nice Alex. Cut Jon off when he mentions not trusting the channels that you repeatedly are on. Faux news and CNN. 5:12.

[MyCashDynasty]

welcome to being a free agent of humanity

[SoldierZyco]

Awsome, just awsome!

[thenameszeppelin]

@artillery666

That's great and I'm happy for you, but it's not just a political awakening, but a spiritual awakening. This is a battle of good and evil. God is very angry with America right now because we kicked Him out of our schools, Government and lives, He wanted the best for us but we said "no.".

[jimmi161]

Does it really matter if this god is angry with us? If this god exists its obvious he doesn't get involved with human affairs. Most of the super rich people with the best lives out there aren't praising this god and they are doing better than the poor person that has nothing but god.

[thenameszeppelin]

Actually, it does, if you would read a Bible, it clearly states that seeking treasures in this life like gold is completely a waste of time. Rich people serve satan and/or money which is the root of all evil.

[thenameszeppelin]

He does get involved in human affairs if you let Him. And a person who has nothing but God are FAR better off in the long run than those who own the world. But you obviously don't understand that concept, but I pray you do because you'll need it one day.

[jimmi161]

Ok I'm letting god know right now that he can make me a billionaire. I'll let you know if gold starts flooding my house. A world where Hitler is allowed to come into power and bankers are allowed to enslave people is a world that god does not care about. Just like Carl Sagan said there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. If you wait for god to do something for you its never going to happen, even if he does exist he certainly does not care about us.

[Watchman444]

It's already too late, read your Bible: The AntiChrist takes over for 7 years, 1/3 of worlds pop. dies, Jesus returns to Save mankind from self-destruction and sets up His Kingdom. The ones who believe in Him will reign with Him.

[jimmi161]

I remember when I was kid and my dad use to watch this guy, I think his name was Jack Van Impe and he was always saying that we are living in the end times and the russians are going to take over and kill everyone. Well it never happened. Religious people always think its bible prophecy happening when wars start happening or rumor of wars but it always ends usually with the bad guy losing and people moving on till the next war.

[thenameszeppelin]

I feel sorry for you. I really do, you don't understand God at all, and he does care about you even though you don't see it, you will some day, and if not, then I pray He has mercy on your soul.

[jimmi161]

I guess you don't believe in free will then if you actually believe that this god is getting involved with human interactions.

[thenameszeppelin]

Don't get me wrong, I do believe in free will but I also believe that God works for the good of those who love Him, and America obviously doesn't and that is why we're in the hole as a nation. But like I said, you don't comprehend what I'm saying because you're blind to God. One World Govt is going to happen sooner or later and probably sooner rather than later, read the book of Revelation, Daniel and Ezekiel, it'll tell you all about it.

[artillery666]

what the hell i downloaded the album and the songs won't play on my computer! i wanna hear these songs cause i'm a iced earth fan. i also wanna have this so called "awakening"

[Brixer1]

Stormrider, you are probably new to this.. But Alex ain't going out against any race, religion or other 'group'. He do single out a few lynchpins in the corrupt system, but mostly going after the system itself.

[Stormrider9]

Still, what he does is accusation. And accusation is oh so very easy. It's easy to point the finger at someone and claim they're the problem. It's easy to elect a scapegoat, choose an "us and them" paradigm ("us" being blameless and "them" responsible for everything). The sensibilities he peddles are some of the worst, ones of paranoia, of illiteracy All while claiming to have an exclusive on the truth.

[Stormrider9]

And furthermore, it's painfully obvious from his speech and manner that he cares for Jon's music only as a tool of propaganda. He'd happily rave about anything, as long as the lyrics support his views. His glee at Iced Earth being a "Famous Band" and thus an effective way to spread his ideas is genuinely revolting to watch.

[zeezrom]

The reason the NWO clan is coming out openly is because we are chasing them into the light... and they are starting to burn up in the light. The only truth they tell is that they are creating a NWO.. that in itself is causing them to ignite. That is why they are running around on Fire! Throw Gas on Them! Get ready with the Stake!

[mrbassman25]

said like a poet man! nice!!!!

[vrossino46]

gooooo alex,your a bit off a legend here in ireland now aswell

[mrbassman25]

hi dude where are u in ireland? :)

[thepeacecat]

@vrossino46 Definitely!

[dpcfish]

Stormrider=retard

[TheLoonwolf]

"Everything makes sense now"

This is how I feel too, the more I learn the more everything falls into place and confusing things are explained.

Alex searches out the truth about what is going on, as do many of those who listen to him. He doesn't just mindlessly say the bankers are destroying America, he founds out that they are, as does anyone else who looks. And the products he endorses are GOOD, even VITAL things we should be buying, not useless money-making products.

[Stormrider9]

Just another thing, that man, Alex Jones or whatever his name is, uses exactly the same kind of rhetoric and reasoning as Nazi supporters during their rise to power in 1930's Germany. The specifics may not be the same, but just as the Nazis blamed Jews for "selling out Germany" at the end of World War I, so do the likes of Alex Jones blame "corporations/banks" for "selling out the US". Same nationalistic, unthinking, malignant paranoia, same tone of voice, same angry dilettante mannerisms.

[Ricokey]

@Stormrider9 You are a true, RETARD!!!!!

[Stormrider9]

Very mature. Got any intelligent arguments to support that?

Or just zeal, bigotry and general malcontent?

And how many books have you read, for that matter? Or what do you actually KNOW of history?

But really, pray explain why am I a "retard"? This is going to be amusing, at the very least.

[Ne0mega]

Ive read dozens of history books, and am a history major, working on my masters. What do you want to know, retard?

And AJ *is* a heavy metal fan, fool.

[Stormrider9]

Well... Some knowledge of the psychology behind Fascism and Nazism would certainly serve you well. As well as understanding of the social and political climate in post WW I Germany, why the Weimar republic fell? What sentiments and elements of the population did Hitler appeal to in his bid for power? All not too arcane matters, so a history major ought to know if his scholarly credentials are to be valid. Of course a true scholar would be polite enough NOT to adress someone as "retard" off hand.

[Ne0mega]

Well, geeze, I happened to get a 3.7 in Modern German History last year... so I know a thing or two. And don't preach to me about polite, fool. This is youtube, I don;t have to be polite, especially to some dumb fuck running his fucking stupid mouth making fucking stupid accusations against someone he obviously knows nothing about. So sah, if you do evah so please.... shove it up your ass.

[Stormrider9]

And if you ARE, then please be so kind as to reply to my questions. I am very curious how much you know.

[Ne0mega]

I cant even read your most of your comments, because they have been thumbs down buried. I am also not going to get into a definiton war with you. But the way you say Alex Jones only likes Iced Earth because it agrees with his agenda belies your utter retardedness. Furthermore, we are online, so I could just go ahead and wiki

[Stormrider9]

"Fascism" has one very clear definition and a slightly less clear (yet still definable) ideology. One that even the most barely informed of the events in 30's to 40's Europe usually know.

[Ne0mega]

BUT... to let you know I did take the class... Here is one of my many personal theories: the SPD blamed hte communists for the rise of Hitler, because hte communists refused to vote. In fact, it was the SPD who should bear the blame, since they wanted to play the silly game of the Weimar republic, while it was obvious Hitler only intended to abuse the constitution... the communists were 100% correct, the best way to deal with Hitler and the Junkers, was violent revolution.

[Stormrider9]

That's one of the most biased and idiotic interpreatations I've ever read (who's your teacher kiddo?). You sound more like a hate mongering propagandist than a historian (and no historian worth his salt would call a violent revolution good! ever been in a real war? had death's of people on your conscience?). And if you even "just go ahead and wiki", it'll do you some good. Read as much as you can, hell, even semi-autobiographies like Remarque's "Black Obelisk", and then come back and talk.

[Ne0mega]

LoL. No historian considers the violent American Revolution good. LOL!!!! And anyways, that wasn't my "teacher's" opinion. It is my own. Pfft... Hate mongering propagandist. Go to hell... I'm done talking to your dumb ass.

[Stormrider9]

If one speaks of the death and suffering caused then yes, even the American Revolution has been a decidedly crummy affair, justified only by the creation of the US and the fact that the people involved had little other choice. But don't think you're in their situation. There are a plenty of people who'd like to be "heroes" and would speak and act as if vast forces were arrayed against them and they were the only hope for "decent people" in this world, the Nazis for one.

[Stormrider9]

"Decent people" in this case being differentiated from everyone else by being Aryans/Patriots/true believers while the enemies are "Unamerican/Unpatriotic/Foreig­n/Jewish/Communist/*insert another label*". All an excuse for bloodshed on a particularly grand scale and a rise of another dictatorship. Anyone relying on labels and slogans to sell their cause has never done more or less than this. Thinking, after all, requires effort, one labels and slogans save those who want a "cause" to kill for.

[FEARisPROFIT]

Commies bastards Killed at minimum 90 Million people in the last Century alone.

They're the scum of the earth.

[Ne0mega]

Imperialism has a record that is just as bad, if you count all the starvations, slavery, genocide and mass exploitation of the third world. Communists kill their own people, Imperialists kill everybody else. .......and I think to myself, what a wonderful world!

[Stormrider9]

Indeed... If only people were a bit more for understanding and kindness and less for "violent revolutions" in the name of "the greater good" it just might have been a better world. Ideologies of any kind are mostly sacrficial altars.

[Stormrider9]

Actually, just a correct definition of the ideology of Fascism would make you a bit more creditable. This country is so illiterate as to have (for example) people slinging around the term "Marxism" without knowing who Carl Marx was and what he preached. So do excuse me if I doubt your credentials, they are belied by bad spelling and a lack of manners.

[TimJanezic]

Alex Jones and his family should live in a tent and forage for food so they don't have to "sell out" and sell a dvd or two. Please, you people are pretty small minded. All Alex's films are on Google video for free. His radio show can be listened to for free without buying Sirius. He puts all his interviews on his youtube channel daily for free. His websites are completely free. What more do you want? Don't be so freaking stupid. Can you support yourself and family with no money?

[truthoftheages12]

im not taking sides timjanezic.i agree with many of the points you just made.i think stormrider was trying to say is what is alexs real agenda.all men have their own agenda,and if you are doing things for your own agenda,no matter how good it might seem,doesnt mean it is really good.please take in mind that i beleive many of the things alex says are true,but i dont just let him spoonfeed it to me without doing some research for myself.peace and godbless

[mrbassman25]

hi Tim... just another form of immature cowardly denial.... attack the source of information...

Alex is so clearly exited with this album... its so obvious to me, you can see the glow of patriotism in his eyes and thats what makes me watch Alex all the way from Scotland...

ok he maybe overstates his case now and again... maybe comes across as too fear mongering... but this guy is the real deal and anyone who thinks otherwise is just a cowardly sheep.. keep up the good work Alex

[Stormrider9]

Oh boy! Jon really fell for this conspiracy theory crap... That's one of the saddest things to have happened to metal.

[vathalous]

its not just about money there trying to open a portal for there antichrist

[drury2361]

"Do the research, trust your gut instinct! If it feels like it's true it probably is. Because there is a lot of misinformation out there."

I agree with the first part, do the research. But the second part doesn't help the 3rd! Trusting in your gut feeling to base your beliefs on doesn't correct the incorrect information! Alex didn't do his research and thinks Jon was the lead singer of IE. Jon corrected his dumb ass. That's a start right there! Making sure people like Alex don't spread more BS

[drury2361]

You would think a guy who claims to do as much research as Alex to claim SO MANY THINGS to be a lie or a fraud would at least look up Jon's bio and realize he isn't the "lead singer of Iced Earth"! Jon says "Trust your gut" well my gut tells me Alex is using scare tactics to sell his own shit - my feelings were fueled by the MANY commercial breaks he took during Jon's interview. Commercials with Alex pitching products he endorses! Awesome album Jon but I just can't get behind this hypocrite

[coal4life]

@drury2361 YA don't gotta buy anything. Just get some info and go check it out for yourself.

[1ToNJaB]

pretty cool!

I also like hip-hop, listen to "Society is Brain Washed" by ILL BiLL... also look up a rapper named "Immortal Technique"... Also "Triumph" by Wu-Tang-Clan... also... "I'm An American" by - La Coka Nostra. Just like in Hip-Hop there is REAL rap and fake rap. Find the TRUTH!

[TheEbonicslover]

bullshit Alex! Everywhere I go there is retards retards retards and REEEEEEEEEETARDS.

[coal4life]

@TheEbonicslover Tards are everywhere. Go to the mall and check em out.

[TheEbonicslover]

that's why I prefer to stay home most of the time. When I hit the streets for Ron 2 years ago and engaged "people" it was mostly a twilight zone.

[ChefMarty1984]

This is real music and people in the fake music industry need to learn from this and stand up against Tyrany and idiots... Fuck all the other bullshit music this guy is great!!!!

[YourDefenderOfTruth]

Way to go Jon Schaffer...Iced Earth rules. Keep it up Alex!

[socomplete]

Damn I like the beginning alot!
