SHIFT RUN STOP’s Episode 60 features a fun, chatty interview with Ronson about THEM… not that’s he’s particularly formal in his other interviews…
Shift your personal paradigm; start aiming lower, get out of the rat race, stop hunkering down, killing yourself for some modicum of “success!”
Listen to Jon Ronson On… Aiming Low:
The Men Who Stare At Goats touched on the subject of government mind control experiments, of which there’s a ton of data, some factual, some made-up… all fascinating! Pure evil, of course - very real, and one those rare ‘conspiracy theories’ that you can actually find documented proof of.
Just do a little reading about MKUltra… it’s ’mentioned’ in Tom Weiner’s Legacy of Ashes: A History of the CIA, and more in-depth in the now-pased on Jerry Smith’s HAARP, The Ultimate Weapon of the Conspiracy.

Jon Ronson Saves has reached 1163 hits… random number to announce, but no more or less meaningful that saying 1000 or some other nicely-rounded number. Bottom Line - folks are viewing the site… now how about responding to the site?
JRS was created to be a forum for comments; maybe I’m doing something wrong, maybe it’s not designed correctly… maybe I’m the only one who likes talking about the works of Jon Ronson. I don’t think so, judging from the daily URL’s I see pop up with his name in an article or interview. So share your comments, if you have them!
I’ve solicited comments from Mr. Romson, though I guess at this time I don’t have a platform that interests him. But he did reply and was nice about it and all. I do try to promote his work, though I’ve gotten a bit behind of late, my day job keeping me quite busy, plus kids, my own fiction writing, life in general. But I think Ronson has done a TON of groundbreaking research into some of the most well covered-up areas in recent American history. Sometimes that fact gets buried under his ‘gonzo’ style of reportage, perhaps…but it’s there, for those willing to pause and consider for a moment some of the things he’s saying.
Read what the man has to say, and read some of what his detractors have to say, too… He’s not perfect, after all, and there are a few valid criticisms of him out there, as well as far too many very mean and stupid ones.

Skeptic magazine features a Jon Ronson ‘Joker’ that creeps even me out! And that’s actually hard to do…

If you enjoyed Ronson’s GQ article about Phoenix Jones (and who didn’t?) you’ll (probably) love the expended version, which he’s hocking as an Amazon Single: The Amazing Adventures of Phoenix Jones: And the Less Amazing Adventures of Some Other Real-Life Superheroes: An eSpecial from Riverhead Books

Well, I’ve been a bit slow posting my Jon Ronson updates of late… but then again, this here is the only sort of stuff he’s been up to:

I thought his new Escape and Control series would be more interesting and poignant, but this Episode 5 is steering the series in the wrong direction. Of course, you never know what’s next…
