Media Matters - Alex Jones: Florida school shooting was the perfect false flag

Here is President Trump favorite Alex Jones pushing the lie that the Florida shooting was a false flag operation.

Alex Jones: Florida school shooting was “the perfect false flag”: “A white nationalist attacking a multicultural school as a way to make the leftists all look like victims”

ALEX JONES (HOST): Wow, we said the perfect false flag would be a white nationalist attacking a multicultural school as a way to make the leftists all look like victims and bring in gun control and a war on America’s recovery and now right on time what we’ve been warning of, their main card, the thing we said was imminent, appears with all the evidence.

Meet Alex Jones, Donald Trump's Favorite Conspiracy Theorist

Donald Trumps first address to the United States Congress was lauded as a teleprompter triumph and a display of a kinder, gentler president. After taking arrows for ignoring the resurgence of anti-Semitic events in the United States, Trump opened his speech by denouncing hate and evil, explicitly mentioning the threats against Jewish centers.

Mere hours before, though, Trump suggested to Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro that the post-election string of anti-Jewish bomb threats and cemetery vandalisms could be a false-flag, perpetrated by Trump opponents to make the president look bad.

That is just the latest statement made by Trump parroting or channeling right-wing commentators or conspiracy theorists - in this case, Alex Jones. Jewish leaders, such as Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, were appalled.

Alex Jones, 43, has been on the air for over 20 years. He began his radio career in 1996, aged 22, in Austin, Texas, with spreading conspiracy theories, including that the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing was actually perpetrated by the U.S. government - what has become known as a false-flag attack. Today Jones has an eponymous program, The Alex Jones Show, which like his website and YouTube channel InfoWars, has attracted record traffic in the Trump era.

… a single word of the crap he spews.

He realized early on that conspiracy theories had an audience – and he tapped into it. He learned along the way that he needn’t worry about crossing lines of common sense and plausibility when spinning his yarns, because it became apparent that his audience were stupid enough to believe absolutely anything.

Jones is a flim-flam man, the classic con-artist selling a product. The real problem is the fact that there are so many people willing to buy it.

since Gump's inauguration, and only now did the globalist/leftist/Sotos-funded deep state shadow government think to use a white nationalist MAGA Trumper as the shooter.

Alex Jones resides at the intersection where cognitive dissonance, evil, paranoia, and extreme stupidity meet.

Jones contorted and maligned the term so badly, it's nearly impossible to talk about it without being perceived as wearing a tin foil hat.
