Alex Jones Is Already Calling Shots At U.S. Capitol A False Flag Attack

From Oliver Willis at Media Matters:

As news spread of shots fired near the U.S. Capitol building, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones immediately began speculating that the shooting at the U.S. Capitol could be a staged event. Jones has repeatedly promoted outlandish and false conspiracy theories, which has not dissuaded conservative media outlets like The Drudge Report and Fox News from promoting his ideas.

Responding to reports of shots fired on his October 3 broadcast, Jones suggested that "they're pulling a big distraction on us," and to "look for them to stage a bunch of stuff" because "everything the globalists do is falling apart right now."

Jones recently claimed that the shooting at the Washington Navy Yard might be a staged event. In the past, Jones also has promoted the conspiracy theory that the bombing of the Boston Marathon was a government operation, and is the foremost proponent of the claim that the 9/11 terrorist attacks were "an inside job."

While Jones' theories are outlandish, they often receive promotion among the right wing media including by Fox News. Earlier this year, Matt Drudge declared that 2013 would be the "year of Alex Jones."

1. Shocking. n/t

[Erose999]

19. Its hardly shocking that Alex Jones would do this. Its predictable. Its what he does.

The smoke hadn't even cleared in Boston before Jones and his hatchetmen were hollering "false flag". Same with Sandy Hook and Aurora and Tucson. Anytime there's a national tragedy, Alex Jones will be there hollering conspiracy nonsense.

He's a fucking swine and so are his followers. They will let no tragedy go to waste.

23. That was my weak attempt at sarcasm

[zappaman]

2. well bless his little black hard heart...

[DinahMoeHum]

3. He actually HAS a heart?????

[Erose999]

26. Its probably fossilized from all the collodial silver and other snake oil supplements he promotes.

[Marrah_G]

4. He is a fucking lunatic

[maddezmom]

6. +10000

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

5. "You get a false flag, you get a false flag, you get a false flag......!" nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. In other news, water is wet

[Aerows]

16. OMG LOL

I said something similar in reply to a thread below. The guy is nuttier than squirrel shit.

[tridim]

8. Has that fuckknob ever been right about anything?

[Aerows]

15. I think he once said water was wet

beyond that, I've got nothing.

[jberryhill]

21. Water was wet before they put fluoride in it!

[Aerows]

27. Now it's just chemtrails

and a terrorist attack on the US. (said in serious voice)

Down with water!

[zappaman]

22. Did he actually say that?

Cuz if he did, I will now have to wonder if it really is....

[Aerows]

24. Update: Chemtrails made him think

that water was wet. More news coming on whether or not the sky is blue.

[zappaman]

25. "More news coming on whether or not the sky is blue."

You are rocking my world today.
Scared to think of what I may learn next...

[Aerows]

29. I don't want to put to much information out there

but you do know that grass isn't green, either...

[Ohio Joe]

9. And DU is already giving him press

We really should ignore what that asshole does instead of reporting it every time he opens his yap.

[FSogol]

12. I agree. Who cares. Nobody reports the gibberish that the sick guy on the street corner

spouts every day. Why post Alex Jones' idiotic (and predictable) musings?

[Blue_Tires]

13. +1000

although to be fair Jones used to have a huge following on the "old" DU...He was revered as a god in the 9/11 forum...

[Aerows]

10. Alex Jones creates a conspiracy theory

color me shocked.

If you need a /s tag, I'm sorry, here it is.

What a loonbag.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

11. Two names that automatically should be ignored by the media after a tragic event:

"Alex Jones" and "Westboro Baptist"

Just ignore them. They're trolls. No one cares what they think except them.

[meadowlark5]

14. Honestly, how do people go through life and find even the smallest amount of joy

When they live in such a state of paranoia, distrust and anger?

[NuclearDem]

17. Lets play Alex Jones Madlibs!

The verb ending in -ing in/at (the) place is a false flag attack launched by scary politician, shadowy cabal, and the ethnic minority to take our article of the Bill of Rights away and turn patriotic name for America into a name for a dystopian society.

But you can fight back by verb ending in -ing meaning promote our media outlet and disrupting the scary word salad.

20. DUzy!!
