Forget the notion that erratic weather conditions and storms are a result of climate change—that just makes too much sense. Instead, Alex Jones implied on his radio talk show that the devastating tornado that ripped through Oklahoma May 20 was created our government's superpower technology.
On Tuesday, a listener called into "The Alex Jones Show" to ask the conservative talk show host whether he was planning to cover the theory that government technology is creating sinkholes. After explaining how insurance companies use weather modification to avoid having to pay ski resorts for lack of snow, Jones said, "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."
Although he admitted that "natural tornadoes" do exist, but he said that the government "can create and steer groups of tornadoes."
According to Jones, in order to determine if the government was involved depends 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."
Jones isn't alone in his intense distrust of the federal government. Fellow Right-Wing radio talk show host Glenn Beck also supported a conspiracy theory that a Saudi national helped Boston bombings suspects Tarmerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev execute the explosions. According to Beck, the brothers were not "lone wolves in the attack."
Beck says that Saudi national Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi was originally named a "person of interest" in the attack and is an al-Qaeda operative who recruited the Tsarnaev brothers in his plot to bomb the marathon. He was also injured in the Boston marathon bombing.
