So let me get this straight about Alex Jones...

He says the evil fed'rul gub'mint is capable of masterminding everything from faking the moon landing to orchestrating 9-11 to forging presidential birth certificates to turning people gay with juice boxes (seriously - he believes that) to staging Sandy Hook, Aurora and the Boston bombing.

Yet this same all-powerful, grand conspiracy of a government is too inept to keep one fat middle-aged guy in camouflage pajamas off the air while he 'exposes' their plans 24/7?



Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

if all their conspiracy theories were true, every one of their heads would be on pikes surrounding the White House.

He's crookeder than a rattlesnake having a seizure.

About the only thing I say to conspiracy nuts these days is "I doubt if they're smart enough to pull that off" and walk away.

Putin hasn't even done all the crap Jones accuses our government of and his critics are dropping like flies. If our government is that bad, what makes Jone's thinks he so special? Oh right, his inflated ego.

They let this guy spew all of their secrets (maybe even pay him to do so) so then nobody will believe it if any of it leaks out from a more credible source because "hey, it can't be true or they wouldn't let Alex Jones say it!"

I'm of course being sarcastic, but you'd probably get a similar response if you posed your question to a true believer.

if "we" started calling in to these people and telling them that, if the government really was that nasty and "afraid" of them, they'd be dead and nobody would find the body.

Their egos would NEVER let them acknowledge that.

Remember, Poppy Bush headed the CIA, and knows where all the bodies are entombed ...

See you don't understand ... it's all part of the plan.

See they (the evil gub'ment) knows that by piking the heads of the truth-tellers (AJ, et al.), they (the evil gub'ment) know that it'll prove to us (sheeple) that they (AJ, et al.) are truth-tellers ... better to allow them to spread the truth, as us, sheeple, will believe their (AJ, et al.) truth is false!

See?

In a sane society they would be laughed off the air and their ridiculous hyperbole flushed down the toilet with the rest of the excrement.

He and people like him are a conduit for disinformation...
The objective it to fill the air with all kinds of nutty things....and the nuttier the better...
And if the truth should be in there anywhere it is covered with so much stinking shit no one could find it, or stand the smell even to look.

The truth is out there but you will never find it cause it is buried in that big pile of shit. It is much better that we just believe the official story on everything than to get all smelly,

Of course, this brand of accusation is not isolated to paranoid right wing loonies. Sadly, I am seeing similar type accusations being hurled around DU tonight. We laugh off Alex Jones' government conspiracy theories but we still have a segment here who are self righteously blaming gun owners, tea partiers, the religious and anyone else they dislike.

Let's not be like Alex Jones and his ilk. I wish we would all tone it down a notch until we know who is actually responsible. It will save some of us from eventually eating a lot of crow.
