Alex Jones: "Weather weapon" could have been responsible for Oklahoma tornado
Alex Jones has proven once again that he can't possibly hate the government more than he does already and that there is absolutely nothing on Earth he won't blame them for.Jones' latest conspiracy theory is that the recent tornado in Oklahoma was caused by a government-owned "weather weapon."
On today's edition of The Alex Jones Show, a caller asked Jones whether he was planning to cover how government technology may be behind a recent spate of sinkholes. After laying out another of his conspiracy theories that insurance companies use weather modification to avoid having to pay ski resorts for lack of snow, Jones said that "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."
Obviously, there was not. He also neglected, of course, to explain how or why the Air Force would have done such a thing, apparently with the expectation that all of his listeners are as morally bankrupt and detached from reality as he has allowed himself to become.
Jones went on to claim that "natural tornadoes" do exist and that, while he's not sure if a government "weather weapon" was involved in the Oklahoma disaster, Jones warned nonetheless that the government "can create and steer groups of tornadoes."
According to Jones, it hinges on whether people spotted helicopters or 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."
No Mr. Jones, we know for a fact that they did not do this. There is no proof, no motive, and most importantly, no possible way anyone could have done that outside of a bad science fiction movie.
There is no government conspiracy to take away our guns, take over the press or force us what to think, and the fact that a maniac like Alex Jones is anywhere other than a padded cell is all the proof you need.

Nothing in that youtube video supports Jones' idiotic claim that tornadoes could be created by helicopters "spraying and doing things" in the atmosphere.
This is a comforting reminder why I left the Right Wing bubble. It is a one way train to Stupidville.
Anyone who knows anything about tornadoes knows the basic science behind their formations, and they also know that Oklahoma is a tornado hot spot because of its geography. Warmer/humid air from the gulf mixing with the cooler/dryer air moving in from the Rockies, is a recipe for tornado activity. This part of the world is quite unique in fact, which is why the strongest tornadoes in the world almost always appear within an 700 mile radius of "tornado alley." Hell, this same tiny town was hit by an F5 tornado back in 1999, with the highest wind speeds ever recorded (over 300 MPH).
But Alex Jones doesn't factor in any of this. There isn't a tragedy too great that cannot be exploited for an anti-government rant.
I had never heard of Alex Jones until this. Anyone who tries to pin him as being representative of anything in the conservative movement is being disingenuous.

Mainstream sources have described Jones as a conservative,[25][26][27][28] a right-wing conspiracy theorist,[29][30][31][32] and a libertarian.[33] Jones see himself as a libertarian and rejects being described as a right-winger.[34] He has also called himself a paleoconservative[35] and an "aggressive constitutionalist".[36][37] The Southern Poverty Law Center Intelligence Files assert that he has "exploit[ed] racial animosities" to "appeal to the fears of the antigovernment Patriot movement". [38]
Jones has been the center of many controversies, such as the one surrounding his actions and statements about gun control after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting,[5] and has accused the U.S. government of being involved in the Oklahoma City bombing[6] and September 11 attacks.[7] Jones was in a "media crossfire" in 2011, which included criticism by Rush Limbaugh, when the news spread that Jared Laughner had been "a fan" of the 9/11 conspiracy film Loose Change, of which Jones had been an executive producer.[39] In January 2013, Jones was invited to speak on Piers Morgan's show after promoting an online petition to deport Morgan due to his support of gun control laws.[40] The interview turned into "a one-person shoutfest, as Jones riffed about guns, oppressive government, the flag, his ancestors' role in Texan independence, and what flag Morgan would have on his tights if they wrestled".[40] The event drew widespread coverage,[40] and according to The Huffington Post, Morgan and others such as Glenn Beck "agreed that Jones was a terrible spokesman for gun rights".[41] Jones's appearance on the show was a top trending Twitter topic the following morning.

Look at what Senators Whitehouse and Boxer are shouting and realize that you are in Stupidville already, arguably the mayor....that train was the way out.

Perhaps you've never heard of "AMMO," which is an actual bill -- presented by actual Republican senators and congressmen -- based on another Alex Jones conspiracy theory (you know, the one in which the government is buying up all the bullets so the people can't get enough to fight the government in the coming uprising).
