The files will be declassified next week and will show that Lee Harvey Oswald worked for the CIA in the months before the Kennedy assassination 

 

 

Back and to the left, back and to the left. 

Which is why it is not so easy to dismiss Alex Jones

Actually it is very, very easy. Try it some time.

i thought you stopped the bath salts ? 

Oswald didn’t technically kill JFK anyway. The kill shot came from an accidental discharge from a Secret Service agent.

Why? Did/does he have access to information that nobody else does?

Anybody can take advantage of gullible, impressionable talk radio listeners who are culturally amenable to conspiracy theories. If you got taken in by his BS, don't double down later just to save face. Learn from it, and try at least a little bit to imagine what you must look like from other peoples' perspective for latching on to such a ridiculous person.

Is there a trend to be discovered here?

Is this intentional?

Possibly a targeted audience being used by a cabal of wealthy donors using low intelligence, gullible voters to quench their own thirst for power?

Is there a historical equivalence?

Why are they always republicans?

 

 I’m just asking questions…

It’s kind of like in high school English class when certain people show up without doing the homework.  Everyone has access to the information.  Some people just choose to show up and pretend they know as much as everyone else

I wouldn't say they're always Republicans.  Historically, the conspiracy crowd is the far left.  In fact, Jones himself was probably more of a leftist when he started.  The problem is it was always too difficult to harness that conspiracy angle into any kind of political movement on that side of the aisle because, by and large, the left is too well educated.  The right, on the other hand, is much dumber and easier to manipulate which is why it's no surprise that Republicans were the first party to successfully leverage dumba** conspiracies into electoral clout. 

He absolutely was. Oswald's mother said he was working for the CIA right to the moment he died. At the height of the cold war there is no way an American citizen could defect to the Soviet Union and then waltz back into the country with his Soviet wife and baby like nothing ever happened. He was CIA all the way, and the assassination of JFK was a CIA op. It's the only way it could have been pulled off.

Black radio is notorious for it too. Melanin theory, magic pyramid people, general barber shop rubbish, etc.

It's just a common trope in certain populations, usually among un/under-educated or marginalized.

This is not a valid argument.

You can just say Republicans.

The point I made that you cut out certainly is. The fact that it's never been pulled of since is strong evidence to support the argument that only the CIA could of pulled it off.

Ummm no. That guy makes a living by not only believing every conspiracy theory there is, but inventing a ton that don't even make sense. There are only 2 real and valid conspiracy theories...

  1. JFK was assassinated by the CIA
  2. The NBA draft lottery is rigged every year

Dear ALL conspiracy nuts,

Wait, is this statement supposed to be in support of Jones?

What are the far left conspiracies? The gulf war was about oil and not WMD’s? Trickle down economics doesn’t help blue collar workers?

Sure, there are crazies on both sides, but maga has no rival…

Who funded Alex Jones and built his platform?

I'm not sure about now because Qanon kind of took ownership of it, but 9-11 conspiracies were far left about 15 years ago. There was a conspiracy video called "Loose change" that was a lot of commie nonsense about corporations staging 9-11.

I'd say after 9/11, there was a pretty strong conspiracy push from portions of the left around what brought down the towers.  Jones was on board with that one too.

The thing is, it's harder to pin the left leaning conspiracies to a political persuasion because it really had next to nothing to do with broader politics.  It was just an interest of stoners and weird liberals that didn't necessarily cross into the political realm.  It was only when Trump and the Republicans realized just how stupid their base really was that it was harnessed into the broader strategy of a political party.

But, yeah, obviously, I agree that MAGA has no rival.  They're crazy, but more importantly, they're F'ing losers.
