Explosions at the Boston Marathon. Don't that the FBI has been behind virtually every domestic terror plot in the US, as NY Times reported.

You say Alex Jones is a marginal figure? Among other things, Alex Jones is a primary source for the Drudge Report, which is an integral part of the mainstream political media ecosystem, and was relied upon heavily by the Republican Party's last presidential candidate. Anyone who has a direct association with Alex Jones should be a national pariah.
****
UPDATE: WaPo link fixed.
If the term had the letter "k," this stupid and evil @$$clown would put the 'ick' in "epistemick closure."
ReplyDeleteOh, and if this turns out to be domestic terrorism, watch the righties go to their default "oh, it's just a few lone nuts..." BS!
Completely ignoring the right wing and White Supremacist terrorist groups that took a break during W's mis-administration.
Shorter Alex Jones:
ReplyDeleteScrew the dead, there's rubes to fleece and gold to sell! To the Griftmobile!
Jones does, though, put the "ick" in DICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAlex Jones has probably done more harm to we who make a serious study of history's odd turns than any other. It is exists solely to discredit and marginalize all who question those in the position to rewrite history.
ReplyDeleteYes, "it". It is less than human.
No fear.
Spot on, Steve.
ReplyDeleteIt's worth noting, as well, that Ron Paul and Rand Paul practically have a permanent seat on the Alex Jones show.
Also, a couple of years ago, Wikipedia reported that Jones' radio show was listenedd to by in excess of 8 million people per week, nearly on par with Rush Limbaugh. Today, however, I cannot find confirmation for that. Maybe Wikipedia was wrong; who knows. But between radio, his web sites, and his YouTube presence, Jones reaches an enormous slice of the deranged GOP base.
When that poll came out recently showing how many people believe in various conspiracy theories, including a large portion who believe in the New World Order, I had to assume that Jones is chiefly responsible for the dissemination of those ideas.
