Report: Tamerlan Tsarnaev ‘Took An Interest’ In Alex Jones’ ‘Conspiracy Theory Website’ Infowars

Investigators are beginning to uncover the many influences that led the Tsarnaev brothers to commit their deadly spree last week which included bombing the Boston Marathon and shooting a police officer. Deep within an Associated Press story on the many influences that moved the elder and more ideological brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, to commit last week’s atrocities was this choice detail: “Tamerlan took an interest in Infowars, a conspiracy theory website.”

1. Oh now you've done it

[geek tragedy]

2. Here people were telling me this was a form of protest against US imperialism.

Now it turns out he was just a crazy-ass mofo.

No, wait, we knew he was just a crazy-ass mofo before.

[tanyev]

3. Say, that reminds me, did Glenn Beck 'blow the lid off' the Boston cover up today????

He promised.

[Tx4obama]

4. What Beck had to say on Monday regarding the issue on the link below

7. Oooh, Beck is going to be sooo jealous now!! He may even cry for REAL!

[SummerSnow]

48. He'll leave the Visine home this time.

[tanyev]

9. Thanks. He's such a tool.

[maddezmom]

5. Oh boy

[blogslut]

6. ...

[davidn3600]

8. Makes sense...one of them was a 9/11 truther according to their social networking sites

[CJCRANE]

10. But Rush Limbaugh said they were influenced by liberal elites.

And now you're saying that a RW nutcase religious fundamentalist was influenced by another RW nutcase religious fundamentalist...?

I don't know who to believe.

[PD Turk]

13. Alex Jones is a "liberal elite"

Of course we know that's not true but that lie would roll of pigboy's tongue with the greatest of ease if he thought it suited his purposes. No lie is too big for the pig boy.

[PeaceNikki]

11. Sorry for duping your thread!!

I am usually better about that....

[gateley]

14. DU3 doesn't have that "Stop! Has This Been Posted?" warning (or whatever it used to say)

So you're forgiven. Go and sin no more. :angel:

[Tx4obama]

19. No prob - dupes are allowed in GD :)

[jberryhill]

27. Ah... So this is to divert us from the real thread

I get it. Post multiple threads so that people will be scattered among them, and decrease the odds they will discuss what REALLY happened.

[PeaceNikki]

32. We are all pawns of the Illuminati.

[seabeyond]

12. i knew it. a loser white male using religion for domiance. no less or more than the other american

extremist. regardless of religion. that is what he felt like.

[DinahMoeHum]

15. Like I've said previously, he and his brother were blank slates

essentially. No real religious or ideological convictions between them until 3-4 years ago, when others put ideas into their heads, and they unquestionably ate it up.

[Kurska]

50. You nailed it, except for the fact he has already said that he was inspired by Al Al Qaeda preachers

And used Al Qaeda "educational" material to learn to make the bomb. This clearly had nothing to do with Islamic extremists.

I'm going to say this as nicely as possible, denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

[seabeyond]

51. using religion to dominate and excuse failure. does it fuckin matter which religion?

it was a man failing in life and using religion to make himself feel better. selfish, egomaniac, self absorbed, loser.

[Kurska]

52. They didn't use religion, religion used them. We already know they listened to Al Qaeda preachers.

These monsters took young men and turned them into murders. There are some pretty disgusting ideas hiding behind the guise of religion (all religions not just Islam) and I'm sick of these animals hiding behind religious tolerance to preach their hate.

Obviously not anywhere close to every Muslim or remotely close to a majority of Muslims did, but anyone who preached hate, murder and Jihad as a way to even the score with the united states is implicit in these murders.

I refuse to let them off the hook by just blaming the bombers (they of course deserve a great deal of blame too).

[Kurska]

54. And if you want proof of that here you go

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/bomb-suspect-influenced-mysterious-radical

Monstrous preachers filling impressionable young people with hate, resulting in terrible tragedies. If you think these preachers aren't just as responsible for these murders as anyone, I don't know what else to say.

[zappaman]

16. Plenty of people here who think Alex Jones says good things.

[arcane1]

22. Meanwhile, his aunt, father and mother say he's "innocent."

[jberryhill]

28. ...or they "say" he's "innocent"

[arcane1]

33. Or... do "they" say "he's" innocent???

[jberryhill]

36. Ah, them

That's just what they'd want you to think they said.

[arcane1]

38. That's exactly what I want them to think I said I thought.

[jberryhill]

40. Can I interest you in buying a pressure cooker?

[arcane1]

41. New, or used?

[jberryhill]

43. Comes with tinfoil

Gonna need plenty of that

[arcane1]

44. Sold!

[backscatter712]

18. I told you - Islamic fundamentalism is also right-wing.

Granted, they're not American right-wing, but they're right-wing nonetheless. As much as the American right and the Islamic right hate each other, they're very similar.

When they're not demonizing each other, they're conniving with each other.

[Lex]

21. Extremist rhetoric

all of it.

[SunSeeker]

24. And they spew the same hatred for women, LGBT, and anyone who does not follow their rules. nt

[backscatter712]

49. Yep. The same shit our own right-wingers spew. n/t

[JaneyVee]

31. You're right. Islamic fundamentalists ARE the conservatives of their Nation.

Take Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for example, his party is the Alliance of Builders of Islamic Iran, a coalition of conservative political groups in the country.

[ellisonz]

20. I know people who believe that shit

[Rosa Luxemburg]

23. Doesn't Infowars think Boston was a false flag?

[PeaceNikki]

25. Yes!! From a duplicate thread...

The irony here is almost unfathomable. Try wrapping your mind around the fact that a collection of conspiracy loons who believe that every major terrorist attack is an inside job may have helped to inspire an actual terrorist attack carried out by actual terrorists. I suppose there can only be one explanation–courtesy Deadspin pal Jeb Lund:

Jeb Lund @Mobute

.@infowars Is Infowars a false-flag website designed to collect fans like Tamerlan Tsarnaev to discredit Infowars?

[jberryhill]

29. It's not unusual

Tim McVeigh, Lee Harvey Oswald, that Holocaust Museum shooter guy.

Why do you think these people have such an emotional investment in trying to prove these things aren't done by precisely these people?

[graham4anything]

26. As always, conspiracy theorists make this just what McCoward of OkCity was. Blinded by hate/ct

[Bjorn Against]

35. You have no clue what you are talking about

I participate in the Gun Control Reform group, I have also long been a strong opponent of police overreach and have been involved in several protests that involved facing down riot police. The NRA on the other hand? They donate huge sums of money to the people who cheered on the Bush regime the loudest.

[Bjorn Against]

42. Those whose profiles you saw?

Last time I checked our profiles did not state whether or not we support a police state, but most of us don't and our profiles do not suggest otherwise. I see far more authoritarian thinking from the gun nuts, look at the politicians they support and you will see the majority of NRA supporters vote for right-wing authoritarian candidates.

[maddezmom]

47. What do you mean you think the guy was set up?

[PeaceNikki]

39. Aren't you adorbs?!?!

[maddezmom]

46. You can say that again

[Johonny]

34. Is it me or does he sound more and more like Timothy McVeigh

A person that floated around on the fringe of hate groups looking for an identity. Finally with the help of a few people he did something totally stupid for a reason that probably made tons of sense to him but very little to anyone outside the group.

[maddezmom]

55. Sounds like another Alex Jones conspiracy

Wonder how long til it's posted on his site.

[PeaceNikki]

56. HA! HAA!! HA!!! HA!! HA!!

And HA, also, too!

[tarheelsunc]

58. You do a better Alex Jones than Alex Jones. eom

[Scurrilous]

57. Thanks!
