Jones never insinuated the fake families/deaths stuff about Sandy Hook. He is suspicious of it in general but hasn't commited to claiming it didn't happen. That stuff largely came from other alternative news sites, but don't let that stop you from ignorantly bundling all of them together.

Jones is the clown prince of conspiracy theorist, He's one of the biggest enablers and also put forward his own goofy theories about Sandy Hook.
And yes, I put Alex Jones and many of the conspiracy theorists together because most of them take their lead from him.
[QUOTE=mikey_the_redneck;4209168]The reason you have all these "conspiracy" questions around is because of a corrupt government that most Americans don't trust (eg. Iraq war, Fast&Furious etc.)
No,the reason why most conspiracy theories are around is because some of these people watch too many T.V. shows and movies and believe the plot lines are based in reality. There's a difference between our government is corrupt, and our government is planning to take our guns away and pack us off to education centers while the UN and the Jewz take over the world.

I'm hardly frightened of the other perspectives, I find myself feeling pity for people who live their life based around paranoid delusions of a "Human Foot stomping down on your face for a 1000 years".
I also find it annoying because of the Conspiracy theory handbook of debating.

Fab, I get that, however I find it deplorable that they take it to an entirely other fantasy level, besmirch certain groups of individuals in their conspiracies, base it around goofy science, and shadows in pictures and then try to present it as the truth. Then fade away when they're disproved only to pop up again when the next tragedy happens.
There has to be a balance between security and civil liberties, I'm sorry if you don't like it, but its the outright truth. Does the government, any government go to far? Sure but that's why the system has theoretical checks and balances.

News is news, its up to the individual to filter it. At the end of the day, all news sources whether its CNN,NBC Fox,Info Wars all present the news in a sensationalist fashion to garner views.
