One of the CIA's main tools is to discredit the whistle-blowers and make then look crazy. So far it's working for them with many people. Nothing discredits a conspiracy theorist more than making the public identify them as crazy.

Alex Jones isn't a real crazy person, he just plays one on TV. He has said so clearly under oath. He's playing a nut job character, like Colbert on crack.

If the CIA could discredit a conspiracy theorist by making them look crazier than they are, wouldn't they have started with Trump? He birthed the right wing conspiracy movement with his insane birther bullshit, and is a clear enemy of any intelligence (agency or otherwise).

The CIA doesn't have to do much to make him look crazy. He has, at various points said, there are "Humanoids that are 80 percent gorilla, 80 percent pig," Michelle Obama is actually a man and she murdered Joan Rivers, and my personal favourite, in England, "They had tanks, people with gills, and there were little babies, and they were in there just gulping, clawing at the sides. You see a turtle at the zoo that wants out and you feel for it? They got humanoids crossed with fish and stuff. I mean... we are screwed people, you understand that?"

I mean... fish people? Nevermind the math on the gorilla/pig hybrids, but fish people? He's like the Weekly World News. I honestly feel sorry for anyone who believes that stuff. Poor people like @Sagemind and @bobknight33 a lack of proper education, perhaps parents who didn't keep enough books in the house... poor nutrition? I honestly don't know what deprivations a human mind has to go through to become that incapable of discriminating the obvious lies people like AJ tell.

No personal attacks. Thank you for your cooperation.

(edit)
Although i agree with what @Drachen_Jager has to say about AJ, it's against sift rules, and kinda douchey to personally attack members. Let's try and not do that.

I agree with you in general, but there's no need to single out sifters for personal derision like that. Better to keep comments like that generalized.

I have family members who listen to his ilk who graduated college, read daily, and eat like kings from their gardens/farms, but for some reason switch off the critical thinking portions of their brains when a right wing mouthpiece starts flapping. It's inexplicable.

Yeah, gotta love the fish people....even better than his #1 hit, gay frogs.

The sift is like the Tower of Pisa. Depending on your point of view it may appear to lean Right or left. But pointing out the fact that it leans may get you into a little trouble.

Just enjoy the view.
