Loved it! I just hope he doesn't believe he's actually predicting anything, but rather just keeps flooding his listeners with predictions so he can, IF something actually happenes (since his predictions sometimes are rather broad), he can scream "I told you so!"... Oh wait, he does that anyway.

Why would he think Alex Jones is CIA?

this is his transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1Y4LEvQ3kNYBaIMrollVFXc3KbGcicYxN7oT8p9HDTR4

Read it, it seems quite nutty. Reversed poe?

"Why would he think Alex Jones is CIA?"
Greedo that is not that uncommon. You find that CTers are so paranoid that they don’t even trust each other. Jeff Reese another major CTer here in the states and his supporters makes the claim that Alex Jones is a “Secret Jew”. Even Alex Jones has made the claim that Peter Joseph and TZM are really apart of the NWO.

The John Birch Society has been talking about martial law since the 1950's.

Yeah for the sake of your sanity Greedo, all your individual points above and others you probably havent encountered are common memes in CT land as Joe has rightly pointed out, so don't be as suprised to know the following. They can be against one CT but fully blown in a dozen other contradictory ones that discount one another, they can believe one espouser of CTs yet believe another who espouses exact CT's is a government agent and working against the truther movement, irrespective of if he espouses the same CT's they believe.

Quite honestly when it comes to CT'rs they're like a patchwork quilt of the most unmixable fabrics and have holes and strands everywhere, if you saw them for sale in a shop you would probably have to take a photograph to prove to your friends you weren't making it up.

LoL, well said AC. Yeah, as I said, I think I never was an average CTer... Thank goodness lol. I used to be a little confused when other CTers, that evidently had "thought more about it (the CT)" would go on "Oh he's a shill!" or "DISINFO!1!! OMGZ!"

More and more I get the feeling that with most CTers it's never been about "looking for the truth", or anything what it seems to be on the surface, but rather just filling up the brain with woo.

I mean, look at the truthers: Why can't they just think at least a bit more logically? Okay, they think 9/11 was a conspiracy perpetrated by Bush and co. Then why don't they just assume that Bush/teh gubmint ordered or got the terrorists to fly into the buildings?

But nooo, they need super-, no nanothermite, and spacebeams 'n shit.

Logic would require them to throw out previous arguments that were implausible due to the logic used, leaving numerous holes punched into their all encompassing theories. So instead of acknowledging their total theory has legitimate holes in it, they fill those holes with further CT's that require further seperate arguments to debunk them.

Each time this leads the CT believer and the debater farther down the rabbit hole, the hope is that the debater will concede the CT believer has a legitimate argument out of frustration rather than facts, and therefore they can conclude all the holes in it do not matter because you are unable to argue every single seperate fantasised CT they have created in those gaps.

They end up weaving a web so full of holes even a spider would fuck it off, and its only CT'rs who would call such a disaster home.
