I am a bit late with this one as I should have posted it in November when it happened but there were other things which were demanding my attention.
Like many, I suppose, having little better to do on a rainy Friday afternoon, I found myself watching a live stream of the protests in Dallas, Texas to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of John F Kennedy.
Everything was as might have been expected, Alex Jones was mouthing off to a loyal mob of listeners who had turned up to get his autograph or touch his coat tails and there was a bit of argy-bargy with the police which happened mainly off camera and was over so quickly that I missed it.
But there was one protester who followed Jones waving an Israeli flag which made me both curious and uncomfortable. It's a bit of an acknowledged truism that Alex Jone never speaks out against Israel's atrocities against the Palestinians nor does he ever give truc to any notion that Israel may have had any involvement in September 11th attacks despite volumous evidence which deserves attention if not thorough scrutiny.
Eventually, as can be seen in the following video at 3h 50m 47s, Jones asks the man with the flag why he has it and the man replies that Israel has the best army in the world, it was the perfect opportunity for him to draw attention, should it be of any concern him, to the oppression and slaughter of the Palestinians but he didn’t, he simply agreed that it was a very strong trained military.
I feel quite certain that his role is to divert attention from all Israel’s malfeasance and point the finger in any expediently different direction. After many years wondering about Alex Jones, this was the moment that the penny dropped.
