A reporter from Alex Jones Infowars.com website found himself being being verbally destroyed by a resident on the streets of Boston over claims that the recent bombings had been the result of a so-called false flag operation carried out by the U.S. government.
In the YouTube video posted on Friday, a man can be heard tearing into Infowars.com reporter Dan Bidondi over right wing conspiracy theories.
The day of the bombing, Jones had tweeted that this thing stinks to high heaven #falseflag, adding that the FBI has been behind virtually every domestic terror plot in the US.
We need more of this in this country..

She needs to STFU and start asking that Alex {Jim} Jones "reporter" why he believes the U.S. Gov't is behind the bombing in Boston. Instead, she goes on the attack of the brave Bostonian who is actually calling the conspiracy theorists to task.

(15,438 posts)there all that time. Seriously, if she really was interested in what the two were arguing about, she could've just remained silent for a few moments and listened. It would've been crystal clear. Instead, she starts taping the Bostonian and asking stupid questions that he'd already answered.
ALL American communities should be as brave as that Bostonian. Maybe we wouldn't have pseudo-journalists popping up all over the place trying to frame every tragedy as a "government is BAD" narrative, which fits perfectly into the anti-government dickheads' propaganda that is helping to take this country down - even if they don't know it.

*Robert W. Stoddard (Worcester, MA)Robert Waring Stoddard (c. 1906 - 1984) was President of Wyman-Gordon, a major industrial enterprise, and one of the founders of the anti-communist John Birch Society. The Stoddard family was one of the oldest and richest in Worcester, Massachusetts.[2] Stoddard attended the Bancroft School in Worcester, then Worcester Academy graduating in 1924.[3] He went on to Yale University. The Stoddards owned Wyman-Gordon, a major company that manufactured forgings for the automotive, aerospace and gas turbine industries. Stoddard was chairman of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette for more than twenty years. Stoddard was one of the members of a Study Group organized by the National Association of Manufacturers. The group published a report in 1957 describing "the extent to which labor unions in the United States hold and exercise monopolistic powers; also the circumstances under which such anti-social powers, which in other hands would be clearly illegal, are permitted to exist."
In 1982 Stoddard was a member of the Board of Governors of the Council for National Policy (CNP). He was Chairman of the Board of Raytheon and International Paper, a member of the Board of First National Bank of Boston, member of the Board of State Mutual Life Insurance Company, director and vice-president of the National Association of Manufacturers, director and president of the YMCA and a member of the National Council of The John Birch Society.[13]

(1,096 posts)I'm originally from Boston and have many friends and family there, some who were not far from the finish-line when the bombs went off. Listening to the likes of Alex Jones and his cohorts is maddening, the thought that they would use a tragedy like this to push lies and fabrications is a heinous act of cowardice.
I was proud of that man for confronting him and spewing adjectives which described him accurately, Alex Jones and his associates are pieces of shit, disgusting pieces of shit!
