Alex Jones Explains How Government "Weather Weapon" Could Have Been Behind Oklahoma Tornado

Media Matters:

Conspiracy theorist radio host Alex Jones explained to his audience today how the government could have been behind the devastating May 20 tornado in Oklahoma.

On the May 21 edition of The Alex Jones Show, a caller asked Jones whether he was planning to cover how government technology may be behind a recent spate of sinkholes. After laying out how insurance companies use weather modification to avoid having to pay ski resorts for lack of snow, Jones said that "of course there's weather weapon stuff going on -- we had floods in Texas like fifteen years ago, killed thirty-something people in one night. Turned out it was the Air Force."

Following a long tangent, Jones returned to the caller's subject. While he explained that "natural tornadoes" do exist and that he's not sure if a government "weather weapon" was involved in the Oklahoma disaster, Jones warned nonetheless that the government "can create and steer groups of tornadoes."

According to Jones, this possibility hinges on whether people spotted helicopters and small aircraft "in and around the clouds, spraying and doing things." He added, "if you saw that, you better bet your bottom dollar they did this, but who knows if they did. You know, that's the thing, we don't know."

1. He's one nutty guy.

[brooklynite]

2. Is he?

Or, like Rush Limbaugh, does he simply know how to rile his audience?

3. The rile know-how and nuttiness are not mutually exclusive.

I think both have each.

4. Congressional hearings coming soon

This was obviously orchestrated to distract from the IRS and Benghazi.

5. Yup, Obama did it. Again. What God-like powers he has with American know-how...

6. It's really amazing, isn't it?

Jones believes the government is enough and all-powerful enough to fake the moon landing, fake 9-11, go back in time and forge birth announcements, fake the Boston bombing, fake Sandy Hook and now control the weather.

Yet we're supposed to believe this same invincible government can't stop a tubby, middle-aged dipshit from going on the radio and exposing their plans?

makes perfect sense
