Jordan Maxwell On Red Ice Radio: "I Can't Say What I Really Know"

Jordan Maxwell has always been, along with Robert Anton Wilson, Jay Weidner and others, one of my favorite "fringe theorists" (philosophers?) to listen to. In particular, I love his research into the origins of words and what they really mean -- work that is unique and brilliant. His motto always rings in my ears: "you gotta do your homework."

He's recently done another interview with Henrik Palmgren on Red Ice Radio, the first hour of which you can listen to here:




Maxwell has a great insight on the whole 2012 "Mayan Prophecies" thing:

"As far as I'm concerned, this last stuff going on about the Mayan calendar -- I wouldn't be a bit surprised if there was a lot of CIA handiwork in that, just to stir up the pot a little but and scare people a little more, keep them occupied."

His belief is that one "scarefest" after another is brought to the public's attention in order to distract them from the here-and-now -- thus making them much easier to control.

He also goes into how he started in the esoteric research business -- basically, out of an insatiable desire to "know" that I can identify with.

But outside of those topics, I found it disconcerting that Maxwell spent so much of the program talking about how he doesn't want to talk about these topics publicly anymore, and that in a way he has "given up." He also had this to say:

"I know way more than I will ever be able to tell, because I don't want to be arrested at 3 O'Clock in the morning and taken to a warehouse & tortured and find my body in an alley somewhere."

Of course, many of the big names in "edge" research make these claims of fearing for their lives and holding back "incredible info" because of it. Alex Jones does this on a regular basis. Bill Cooper used to claim this too -- though he did end up dead in a police shoot-out.

It is impossible for me to comment on the validity of Maxwell's fears, other than that I know people do get threatened, harassed in a number of ways (cyber-harassment being the latest method), and even bumped-off because they "know too much." Then again, people like Jones sometimes sound like they are falling into paranoid hysterics (R.A.W.'s "Chapel Perilous") when making these claims (note his recent video about the "Bloomberg Mafia" during his recent trip to NYC, which was widely ridiculed in traditional news outlets).

At any rate, Maxwell, sounds more pessimistic about the fate of this world, the mass intelligence of its inhabitants, and his own future with every interview I hear. And all I can really say is that I do think he has contributed some really unique pieces of the puzzle -- given people some really intriguing ideas to consider, and to at least encourage them to open their minds a little bit.
