Heard just now on Infowars - Green New Deal......

[getagrip_already]

So I was bouncing around looking for something to listen to and this came on. It was on the radio so I don't have a link.

Alex Jones was ranting this. I couldn't believe it, but it actually sounds legit. What is everyone's opinion?

Ok, listen up People. We've all been hearing about this "Green New Deal". How great it will be. Reduce carbon footprints. How it will ease the energy crisis, BLAH BLAH NLAH.

Well, I've checked into this and I've found out a shocking fact. That Green New Deal, that magic solution to all of our problems? It's actually PEOPLE. That's right. They are going to dissolve people and turn them into energy for their little Prius's and LED light bulbs - those are the eyes of satan - don't get me started on LED's!

I've found out that AOC is actually doing this in her apartment in Queens NY with aborted fetuses as we speak. That's why the libs want choice! It's so they can power all their toys. But there aren't enough fetuses to get very far.

Their next step is to empty out white retirement homes. You got it - your moms and dads. Maybe even your retirement home! When they run out of people there, they will start emptying out religious schools and anyone home schooling!

This is all a vast left wing plot to rid the country of real americans and force feed everyone tacos.

We have to stop this now people! Before it's too late!

And then I woke up. I expect to hear this any day though. My dreams have a horrible way of coming true.

1. Shortwave radio

Was once a great source of news from outside of the U.S..

Now, like a.m. radio, it is the home of right wing conspiracy whackjobs and religious frauds fleecing the flocks.

Sad state of affairs for a once great medium.

6. I find it very sad about shortwave radio. Also, in times of upheaval by whatever cause

shortwave radio will get through. The internet, phones and all are are very delicate in times of stress ... could all be out in an instant ... but shortwave can get through. Very sad to see the loud and clear broadcasts from around the globe mostly gone. It's also very difficult to censor shortwave radio. The internet is a piece of cake to censor.

10. My feelings exactly

Considering buying a Tescun S-8800, but there is little to listen to!

Can't handle Jones OR Brother Stair!

2. It is best to ignore Infowars,

I don't think it deserves a discussion. Is the point to bash AOC?

3. Did you read the last line of the OP?

5. Poe's law in full effect

8. a good example of not writing to the top.. ;)

There is a writing style called "write to the top". It basically says if you have something important to say, put it in the first paragraph. The corollary is that if you want to say something you hope won't get noticed, put it at the end.

It works in business. People are lazy and don't read a long message. So if you want something in the record, but don't want to cause a big stink, put it at the end of a long message. "I told you that two months ago. You even responded to the message".

9. Good satire technique, too

Make it just believable enough.

But, just in case he's reading this, negative rec points for giving him ideas.
