I was driving home today when I had the misfortune to listen to a few minutes of Alex Jones.
For those who don’t know Alex he is a far right whack job who thinks that everything that happens is a government conspiracy. Everything from 9/11 to the Boston Marathon attack is not real to him but a big secret government (or guvmint) conspiracy to trick us and turn the world over to the secret cabals that plot our doom (and no I am not exaggerating).
During this brief segment he talked about how the Boston attacks were a “false flag” operation (IE a scam by the government) and he attacked those who called him nuts for saying so.
As an analogy he said that if he was sitting in a boat and saw a car drive off of a bridge that it would not be crazy for him to assume the car was going to crash into the water.
True enough
But Alex, what you do is not to say that the car is going to crash in the river. What you do is say that a secret government agent rappelled down from a black helicopter to slash the brake lines in order to give the government the power to regulate speed limits.
In other words you are, in my humble opinion crazy as a loon.
There is no big government conspiracy, there are no secret black helicopters, there is no secret cabal eating babies wrapped in gold foil (yes he said that too).
And for you to take events like Newtown and Boston and 9/11 to use as part of your twisted agenda is beyond disgusting (in my opinion).
And if you want to label me part of the conspiracy, I’d be proud to join it because it comprises the 99.9% of us who are not deluded.
