Ghoul, much?

It must be hard to be Alex Jones at times, coming up with gibberish that only the tinfoil hat-wearing part of the public takes seriously.

Previously, WTTFTG reported that Jones recently went on a bad science fiction kick since he was spreading the word that a preliminary agreement to remove chemical weapons from Syria was in fact the beginning of a plot which will eventually lead to most of the human race being reduced to subservient cyborgs. No shit. He really did say that.

Problem is, a much larger news story (namely, the Washingon Navy Yard shooting) got in the way of this Technicolor epic of his. What to do? Well, if you're Jones, you do the obvious: you play the part of post-tragedy ghoul, albeit with a familiar conspiracy theory overlay:

After a gunman attacked the Washington Navy Yard on September 16, Alex Jones immediately wondered if the attack was part of some conspiracy, tweeting, "Who will the Navy yard shooting be blamed on? Terrorist? Tea Partier? Leftist? Lone nut?" Later, on his radio show, Jones said, "when you have multiple shooters like this, it has patsy written all over it," and compared it to the bombing at the Boston Marathon, which Jones described as "undoubtedly a false flag."

"Undoubtedly". Yeah. Sure.

Given his past track record, well...

But wait! Even if the previous quoted material smacks of Jones' usual pandering to the psychologically damaged and terminally gullible, there's a way out! Namely, a global conspiracy is out to get him, and the Navy Yard shooter is part of it!

“You better believe that even if they’re just pure jihadis that did this, even connected to Al-Qaeda groups out of the Middle East being commanded by the leader of Al-Qaeda last Friday to attack the United States… even if that’s the case, you can believe, like the last three or four cases, they’re going to try to connect it to Inforwars.com and yours truly, part of the long-term demonization campaign,” Jones explained.

Uh huh. Sure. Whatever you say, Alex.

“If you want to wonder how big this radio show is, even separate from the website, it’s the fact that they try to pin, I’d say, about half the major crimes, we get brought into it,” he insisted. “It’s because we’ve got their number, we know who the globalists are, we know what their program is. And they’re very concerned that we be discredited so that people will not look at what we cover on the radio show, the Infowars nightly news and on the websites.”

Jones added that the circumstances of Monday’s shooting had “patsy written all over it.”

Nver mind that all of the previous bilge displays all of the usual paranoid conspiracy tics, whether genuine or for public show; it also reeks of the narcissism (Jones' assertion of "how big this radio show is", etc.) most of these guys also need in order to keep saying completely batshit things in public. It makes them money, sure, but it also makes them look like complete fools.

Add to that the fact that conspiracy-mongering in the wake of such a tragedy also makes Jones (and others or his ilk, like Erik Rush) look like first-rate opportunistic assholes and you have more than one reason to wonder how much lower he can go.

My personal bet is "plenty more".
