Tamerlan Tsarnaev Was an Alex Jones Fan
The elder brother and alleged mastermind of the Boston bombings read InfoWars, according to a relative.
In a bizarre twist befitting a Hollywood conspiracy theory movie, the AP reports today that Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was influenced by conspiracy theories, including Alex Jones website InfoWars, which has been pushing a narrative that the Tsarnaev brothers were patsies set up by a government cabal to take the fall for the bombing.
Tamerlan took an interest in Infowars, according to Elmirza Khozhugov, the ex-husband of Tamerlans sister. He was also apparently interested in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and was trying to find a copy of The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, one of the most notorious conspiracy tomes of history.
Theres no doubt that Jones will take this report as confirmation of everything hes been preaching. The report, he will claim, was planted in the AP the government controls the media, after all and is a naked attempt to discredit him and definitive proof that the globalist cabal views him as a serious threat. He was getting too close to the truth in Boston, so the decided to try to take him out. Itll be a big shot in the arm to Jones grand theory of the bombings, which has suffered from an embarrassing lack of evidence and logical consistently . He said the government first planed to the blame the Tea Party, but then was found out and had to switch Plan B blame Muslim extremists so with the AP report, Jones will say, the government is trying to return to plan A.

to frame it to his agenda.
