Thread: Your dose of Alex Jones

So, I'm working in the living room painting turkeys, and my sister is sewing garters. She insists we listen to "Coast to Coast" on the computer while we are working. She loves conspiracy crap and there's a double header on Youtube - Alex Jones and Jesse Ventura!! Woo-hoo!

So Alex begins to talk about this story:

Al Qaeda Leader Dined at the Pentagon Just Months After 9/11

And...du dum.....

His phone cuts out.

Is this a coincidence? Could this be the work of aliens? You make the call.

Anyway, 20 seconds later he's back, swearing he's never had this happen before and the host and he seem to agree - this may be the CIA sending him a message.

Didn't shut him up though. You'd think the CIA could at least arrange for him to be killed.

From your article:

In 2001, the FBI did not share this investigative information with the Pentagon, but officials say there was no reason to - Awlaki was not a suspect and was not believed to be connected to the 9/11 attacks. Instead he was viewed as a valuable liaison to the Muslim community and a potential investigative source. As one official put it, "he was a much different guy back then."

Still, it's not clear what kind of vetting or background check was done by the Defense Department before Awlaki was allowed into the building.

In the nine years since the meeting, Awlaki has become increasingly radicalized and is part of the core leadership of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. His radical preachings helped to inspire alleged Fort Hood gunman Major Nidal Hasan and officials say Awlaki took a direct operational role in the failed Christmas Day attack on Northwest Airlines flight 253. Awlak, who was born in the United States, has now been targeted by the government - he’s currently on the CIA’s list of terrorists to be killed or captured.

I can't say I find this proves they were in kahoots with the guy or that at the time they knew who he really was. Obviously he had fringe relationships with some of the hijackers, but I can see where they may have wanted to try to befriend him to get more info.

I think letting him leave the country was a mistake, though.

She'd probably say I am too traditional. What's that tell you?
