Now That's Good Conspiracy Theory! My Favorite Pothead Endorses 9/11 Trutherism!

Super Tuesday was yesterday, and I suppose I should blog about that, but I can't say I care much. A couple jackasses are the front runners now, while two or three other jackasses are no longer frontrunners. Unless they are. Or aren't. Maybe.

There. That's my analysis of Super Tuesday.

Now on to news I can really get excited about: Willie Nelson on the Alex Jones Radio Show last Monday!

I first heard this on Hot Air. Here's the YouTube version:



It's pretty long, so if you don't have time to watch the whole thing, skip ahead to about 1:45 minutes into the thing (-8:05 if your YouTube clock runs down instead of up) for the fun stuff.

At around 1:55 (-7:55), Willie compares the collapse of the Twin Towers to a building demolition he saw in Las Vegas, commenting "there was too much similaities between the two."

I have also seen Las Vegas casinos demolished, but only on TV. I remembering them blowing out the supports on the bottom floor and letting the upper floors all cave in at once. However, I've never seen anyone destroy a casino by collapsing the top floors to create a huge ball of smoke and fire that rides all the way down the building. And I don't recall ever seeing a wall of black smoke fill the surrounding streets after the building was down. And I dont think I've ever heard of a casino demolition reported to be burning days after the event.

But those are quibbles. Willie's got a sharp mind. And if that's how he remembers the way casinos are destroyed in Las Vegas, I'll have to defer to him.

At 2:35 minutes in (-7:15), My Boy Alex Jones throws out a tantalizing bit of red meat about one Lt. Col Steve Butler going public to tell the people that "we trained these people (the 9/11 hijackers), the government's involved" but "they" start "court-marshalling him (Butler) until he agreed to shut up." My Boy Alex Jones is, I can only assume, referring to the guy who wrote this leter to the editor that caused a minor kerfuffle way back in 2002. Key Quote:

Of course President Bush knew about the impending attacks on America. He did nothing to warn the American people because he needed this war on terrorism. His daddy had Saddam and he needed Osama.

I don't see anywhere in Butler's letter anything that comes close to saying "we trained" the hijackers or that "the government's involved." At worst, he's claiming that Bush just knew what the terrorists were up to and chose to do nothing.

As far as Butler being court-marshalled, that had to do with Section 888. Article 88. in the Uniform Code of Military Justice:

Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Homeland Security, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.


Butler ran afoul of the UCMJ when he wrote this part of his letter:

Face it people, Bill Clinton was a great president. This guy is a joke. What is sleazy and contemptible is the President of the United States not telling the American people what he knows for political gain. The Democrats asking pertinent questions is their duty as public servants.

So a lieutenent colonel is reprimanded for publishing a partisan attack on a sitting president. I can understand why My Boy Alex Jones is concerned about this facist crackdown by the government. And I can doubly understand why My Boy would be intrigued by Butler's claims that "we trained these people, the government's involved" even despite the fact that this is only something My Boy Alex Jones just made up and not something Butler actually said.

Or as Willie Nelson puts it, "True story, I guess. I hate to hear it, but it's probably true."

Finally, at 3:00 minutes in (-6:50), My Boy Alex Jones plugs a couple of his videos; Terrorstorm and Endgame. Here is the trailer for Endgame:



Even if you don't have time to watch the Willie Nelson interview, I urge you to watch this trailer and marvel at My Boy Alex Jones, the master at work, as he stuffs 50 lbs of crazy in a 10 lb sack.

Or, to quote Willie Nelson's take on videos like Endgame, "I think they're right on!"

SECRET BONUS!

If you have the free time to listen to the Willie Nelson interview all the way to the 6:00 minute point (-3:51), you get to hear My Boy Alex Jones toss out a plug for presidential candidate congressman Ron Paul!

r3VOLution!

I watched both videos in their entirety. Wow. I love the way OBAJ keeps prodding PotHead with lines like, "Since you brought up 9/11..." Or, "Back to 9/11, since you brought it up..."

OR, "I wasn't going to bring up 9/11 because it's controversial.."

WHAT?!?!? ALEX??? You have dedicated your LIFE to bringing up 9/11 BECAUSE of the controversy!!!!

What a heap of crap spewing BS that guy is!

Alright. . .alright.

I hate trutherism. . . really hate it . . . passionately.

Trutherism has ruined my "conspiracy theory" kick. . .

Watching this conspiracy theory take root and be pitched over and over again by these loons has made me doubt ALL conspiracy theories throughout history.

JFK. . . Knights Templar. . . Alien Abductions . . . yada yada yada. . .

All ruined. I used to love those shows on History channel. . . .now they all seem loony.

Thanks Willy!. . . you bastard!
