And you would probably be right.
yathrib wrote:But hysterical warnings of government gun grabs and a socialist takeover of the U.S. are no longer the sole proprietary interest of fringe players like Jones. In the Obama era, Jones' conspiracy theories have graduated to primetime on Fox News. And radicals like Poplawski are tuning in. Indeed, according to the Anti-Defamation League, the alleged killer posted a YouTube clip to Stormfront of top-rated Fox News host Glenn Beck contemplating the existence of FEMA-managed concentration camps. ("He backed out," Poplawski wrote cryptically beside the video.) Three weeks later, Poplawski posted another Youtube clip to Stormfront, this time of a video blogger advocating "Tea Parties," or grassroots conservative protests organized by Beck and Fox News contributor Newt Gingrich (see here and here) against President Barack Obama's bailout plan.

Jones has gradually come to be accepted by the right-wing media. In September 2007, Jones interrupted a live broadcast by Fox News host Geraldo Rivera (Rivera was reporting at the time on "the secret world of restroom gay sex") by shouting into a megaphone, "9-11 was an inside job!" He was hauled away by NYPD officers soon after. On March 18, however, Jones became a guest of honor inside Fox studios, introduced as "the great Alex Jones" by Fox News contributor Judge Andrew Napolitano during a lengthy segment on the online show, The Strategy Room. Towards the end of his spot, Jones celebrated his sudden and dramatic influence on the conservative movement's biggest media personalities.

"I've never seen an awakening this big. I'm seeing Glenn Beck talk about the New World Order on Fox, I'm seeing you talk about it," Jones told Napolitano. "We're seeing Lou Dobbs talk about it, we're seeing mainline hosts--Limbaugh's even talking about global government. Michael Savage is talking about how Obama may stage crises to bring in martial law. So all the things that I was talking about in the wilderness ten plus years ago are now hitting mainstream, and it is great!"

For Jones, whatever bad publicity he incurred from a fan's alleged killing spree paled in significance to the sudden cachet he has gained among conservative media bigwigs. During his April 6 broadcast, two days after the murders, he boasted, "Now, if you listen to [Sean] Hannity's show, if you listen to Savage; you listen to Limbaugh, it's almost like Alex Jones is hosting the show."
Nice to see America's 5th column getting all backed up in the corner all ass to mouth like this. Guess they need to stick close so they can make sure their narrative of "Obama's Coming New World Order" stays cohesive. You've got China offering to go dutch with a new world currency so it's all coming together right? If Obama will just play along. Fox and Alex Jones together stirring up the mobs and pointing fingers at the Fedral Gubbmint and the coming New World Order. Good times. Something big must be around the corner again like in 2001? These guys after all had a knack for prediction...
Fox's Lone Gunmen
March 2001 : Pilot episode debuts in March 2001 and predicts wargames, counter terror operations, World Trade Center getting hit by remote control planes. Nailed it.

Alex Jones
July 25th 2001 : Alex predicts that globalists are going to blow stuff up Reichstag style. Wants listeners to call the White House to let them know that THEY know what the Gubbamint is about to do. Predicts Gubbamint will try to blame Osama.

Bill Cooper
June 28th 2001 : Patriot/Militia/UFO purveyor of shit, Bill Cooper goes on air predicting there will be a major attack on the USA and Osama will be blamed.
September 9 2001 : Cooper almost served an arrest warrant
November 2001 : Police make attempt to raid Cooper

Why do all of the purveyors of rightwing extremism conveniently know shit gonna go boom soon? Yet nothing is done to stop it? Who has the Fedral Gubbmint all sinched up in the balls so nothing can be done to prevent the Terrah!?!
I have a few ideas...

May 1st 2001 : Chandra Levy Dissapears
Summer 2001 - Dead Intern + Horny Congressman = Big News that drowns out any and everything else. Controversy surrounding her disappearance was a main topic of the American news media, ending only after the September 11, 2001, attacks. Gary Condit was a senior member on the House Intelligence Committee in the months and years prior to the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C.

PERPS in high levels embedded in the hated Federal Government they seek to destroy and replace with something more Fascist.
PATSIES & PUPPETS to do the dirty work.
BLACKMAIL to keep the players in a mutual pact of silence.
This shit is getting good! Who are the puppets and who are the ones that designed the game? We're all dying to find out the exciting conclusion to this continuing drama!
AC/DC Who Made Who?
The video game say "Play me"
Face it on a level but it take you
every time on a one on one
Feeling running down your spine
Nothing gonna save your one last
dime cause it owns you
Through and through
The databank know my number
Says I gotta pay cause I made the grade last year
Feel it when I turn the screw
Kick you round the world, there ain't
a thing that it can't do
Do to you
Who made who, who made you?
Who made who, ain't nobody told you?
Who made who, who made you?
If you made them and they made you
Who Begot The Devil, and who made who?
Who made who, who turned the screw?
