I was just thinking the same thing about Alex Jones when I came across this recent story.
The headline says it all.
Alex Jones taps into dark national mood to build media empire.
I think a lot of what he tries to popularize is true, that there are forces in place which enslave and control the people, but then he spews a lot of garbage too. Bottom line is that I've always felt he was a bit of a self promoting con artist. He has been feeding into the fantasy of an armed civil uprising against a criminal government to people who still don't know that professional wrestling is fake.
