"Alex Jones is an inside job!" Hehe, As much as that cracks me up and I would actually love for it to be true... I would need solid lines of evidence and multiple sources backing it up to accept that as true. (Which is exactly why infowars has always fell flat with me)

The first time I heard the word 'globalist' was on Alex Jones' radio in ~2000. He was just as nutty then, so this sure would be a long con.

There is a pretty good conspiracy that Alex Jones is actually Bill Hicks after the CIA gave him a make-over and use him as a controlled opposition source.

  Has he ever addressed that publicly? It would be soooo delicious seeing him debunk a conspiracy using simple logic the same way others do to him. I wonder if his followers would be too far "gone" to be able to feel the cognitive dissonance that should invoke. I will have to look into this more tonight for a laugh.

On Joe Rogan's podcast, he claimed to have a lot of connections in the military and intelligence community. Not saying it's proof of anything, but it does make one think...

  I agree, It does make one think... just not critically think. Even if his personal claim about military and intelligence connections are true, it isn't evidence of anything, as you alluded. For example, most of the people he has connections with could also think he is a crazy wingnut.

    AJ is probably not crazy; I think it's rather clear that he does not believe what he says, he's just performing, and getting a solid income from it. It's sad most of his audience can't see through it; it's like watching a bunch of adults think a Power Rangers or Godzilla movie is a documentary. Sad.

      I haven't really watched his show before, so my impression of him comes from things like the Joe Rogan interview and having seen some clips. I think that he roughly believes what he's saying but is playing a hyperbolic character for entertainment value. I think he's a lot less crazy in actuality, though still a pretty out there guy. Also, his clips about the frogs being turned gay makes me laugh every time I see it. That and when he tears his shirt off in rage at the globalists and runs off into the night.
