AP Report: Boston Bomber ‘Took An Interest’ In Alex Jones’ ‘Conspiracy Theory Website’ Infowars

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

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.”

2. Well, that fits with what the mother

said, that he knew about all the US conspiracies by reading the Internet.

4. Alex Jones

in typical fashion, will predictably conclude that there's a conspiracy against him.

The irony.

[William Seger]

12. I'll bet he now claims that was the whole purpose all along (n/t)

[EC]

5. I knew that these crackpots going worldwide was dangerous.

Now according to the article he is now talking to their parents and filling their heads with more conspiracy talk...

7. Why does this remind me of this?

[freshwest]

8. No surprise there. The rants that man delivers are designed to terrify and incite people.

Naturally, Alex had already gone with his stories on this and we will continue to have OPs inferring the same, coincidentally or not:

New Pictures Purport To Show Tsarnaev Brothers Engaged In Firefight With Police

Steve Watson | Witness does not describe elder suspect being run over.

Aunt of Bombing Suspects Talks To Alex Jones: Smells an Inside Job

She felt people were listening to her phone and she made a point to say she was not being threatened.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev “Radicalization” Plot Line Used to Reinvigorate War On Terror

Kurt Nimmo | World War sparked by conflict of civilizations will terminate in tyrannical global government.

That's the front page of today's Infowars which I checked to see if he acknowledges this story. Not yet, but no doubt he'll be yelling he's being persecuted for telling The Truth© soon.

And as Chris Rock says, 'that train's never late' and Jones 'just had to go there' as he rehashed his 9/11 Dancing Israelis spiel:

Alex Jones: Suspects “look Israeli”

The conspiracy broadcaster wonders if the Jewish state may have had something to do with the Boston bombings...

http://www.salon.com/2013/04/19/alex_jones_on_chechen_suspects_these_guys_kind_of_look_like_israelis/

Second verse, same as the first. Now wash, rinse, repeat. Tired of this. Damn if the JBS - Koch Brothers brain soap isn't working well.

[intheflow]

22. Jones will acknowledge it by calling the report a false flag.

[freshwest]

23. He must be surrounded by them! In June, he'll do his annual USS Liberty attacked by Israel show:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident

I listened to it once and concluded he doesn't like Israel much. That and some of his fellows say US aid to Israel is part of the global bankster plot to kill us all off. That works into the Sovereign Citizen movement as all our taxes go through there to Queen Elizabeth. And don't forget she's a Reptilian.

He's been spinning the alternate reality for years with something for everyone and was a major Ron Paul fan and hated Obama straight off. Oh, yeah, anyone listening will get their brains scrambled good.

[Myrina]

26. Yeah but aren't they designed to terrify & incite white redneck "Patriots"?

10. Funny how Linsey Graham comes out with "This Gem" on the same day as the OP's post.

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/04/23/republican-trio-push-to-militarize-u-s-response-to-domestic-terrorism/

The confluence of these two stories represents a a sweet-spot fissure smack dab in the middle of the hard right of today's republican party.

11. So who is his handler Misha?

Under the tutelage of a friend known to the Tsarnaev family only as Misha, Tamerlan gave up boxing and stopped studying music, his family said. He began opposing the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He turned to websites and literature claiming that the CIA was behind the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and Jews controlled the world.

"Somehow, he just took his brain," said Tamerlan's uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, who recalled conversations with Tamerlan's worried father about Misha's influence. Efforts over several days by The Associated Press to identify and interview Misha have been unsuccessful.

Tamerlan's relationship with Misha could be a clue in understanding the motives behind his religious transformation and, ultimately, the attack itself. Two U.S. officials say he had no tie to terrorist group

...

Then, in 2008 or 2009, Tamerlan met Misha, a slightly older, heavyset bald man with a long reddish beard. Khozhugov didn't know where they'd met but believed they attended a Boston-area mosque together. Misha was an Armenian native and a convert to Islam and quickly began influencing his new friend, family members said.

13. Here's my pet kook theory

"Misha" was actually KGB posing as Islamic radical. Who benefits from U.S.A. taking an anti Chechnyan view, and possibly dropping unacknowledged support for Chechnyan independence, as John McCain advocated as part of his presidential campaign? Putin, that's who. Take with a huge grain of salt.

KGB had been "watching" this family and especially the older brother. Did they realize he could be exploited to influence policy? Fun to toss ideas around, not serious.

Deportation may be in the cards....

I'm sorry! Needed comic relief....

16. Poor Giulliani was caught off guard

mr. mayor, thank you for your time on a busy day. you're welcome. i'm sure you heard the information bertha just brought us. at this point, what are you most interested in knowing? what questions do you have?
..
the second issue which we have time for to examine and probably will examine over the next several days is why people from chechnya -- what's the connection? the reality is that the chechen objections are all with the russian government and they want to be a separate state, they want to be a muslim state and you get some connections to the united states because chechnya and chechens were involved in the afghan war in russia. a lot of chechens have gotten training in afghanistan and parts of pakistan this can be very interesting to see where this all emanated from. how much of this is homegrown, two disillusioned, angry kid, i think the uncle described one of them as a loser, or is this orchestrated by some is international group? i think all of those questions are open, but the strange part here is we have -- we have not had, as far as i can recall, a chechen problem in the united states. right. and we're all getting up to speed, obviously, this morning on chechen history, russian independence. are you trying to make a connection, though, connecting the chechnya relationship to afghanistan to something that has an islamic tone, i should ask. i don't know the answer to the chechen revolution against russia is an islamic-based revolution. they want an islamic state in russia. but not inherently anti-american, right? not anti-american, in fact, here is the odd part of this, if anything, we've been, i'm not going to say sympathetic with them and we've certainly been critical of putin and how far he's gone in dealing with chechnya. if anything, they shouldn't have this anger at the united states. i would imagine there are people in russia that think we, meaning america have been somewhat unrealistic about the chechens. i was in russia a day or two after the killing in beslan that took place six or seven years ago and i talked to the russian law enforcement people occasionally and they would tell you that, you know, we see them differently than they see them. ...

19. Is fearless leader wanting killed Moose and Squirel

[Cirque du So-What]

14. ABC Evening News said NOTHING about this

Instead, they referred to websites touting radical Islam. Guess they're gonna break it to the propellerheads gently.

[matt819]

15. Getting to the bottom of this

I for one am glad we are getting to the bottom of who is behind this event. I'm afraid I have to go with the enemy combatant folks on this one. Time to declare Alex Jones as an enemy combatant for inciting war against the US. I think it's pretty clear that this is the kind of person enemy combatant status was designed for.

17. How very quickly

everyone forgets.

McCain’s Call to Recognize Chechen Independence Has Inspired Chechens
Publication: North Caucasus Analysis Volume: 9 Issue: 33September 5, 2008 12:03 PM Age: 5 yrsCategory: North Caucasus Analysis
By: Andrei Smirnov
On August 26, John McCain, the presumptive U.S. presidential candidate for the Republican Party, suggested that “after Russia illegally recognized the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, Western countries ought to think about the independence of the North Caucasus and Chechnya.” McCain added: “Russia accuses the West of double standards. We will reply to these accusations of the Kremlin and point to its double standards regarding Chechnya and the North Caucasus” (Georgian Daily, August 29).

18. Remember when....

Some right winger wrote about how it was a terrible to be a liberal because the suspect was Islamic and apparantly a Liberal.



Yeah, so, um, about that....

[NewJeffCT]

20. To the RWers

[progressoid]

24. This is just a conspiracy theory to discredit Alex Jones.

[Marrah_G]

25. Oh the irony!!!!!!!!!!!!

It just doesn't get any better then that.........

[apnu]

27. Boy the comments at mediaite.com are sure entertaining.

Chock full of crazy, crazy stuff.

[octothorpe]

28. I wonder if that's why the real bombers made them the patsies. Did they know too much?

[otohara]

29. I Hope This is a Wake-Up Call To

my college educated kid and his friends buy into some of this shit spewed by this lunatic.

We got into a huge argument about this POS - he says his friends post AJ stuff on Facebook
that he doesn't seek out Jones.
