I watched Frontline's "United States of Conspiracy" last night ...

I knew Alex Jones was an utterly vile human being, but even so was sickened by the level of his depravity. It's clearly all for big bucks and egoboo; he has no feelings whatsoever re the harm he causes. He simply doesn't care. He is at least as mentally defective as TFG as far as narcissism is concerned.

What was shocking about the program was seeing the extent to which TFG was parroting what Jones was saying. They showed multiple excerpts where Jones would spout some insane CT and TFG would echo it a day or two later. It's like Jones was programming TFG, who apparently was happy to think whatever Jones told him to. That is a totally disqualifying characteristic for anyone who aspires to be a leader of any kind. Afterward, I began to wonder if Jones may be the one most responsible for TFG deciding to run.

It's such a tragedy that someone with that kind of energy and drive cannot imagine anything to do with his gifts but cause destruction, suffering, and chaos. I wish Alex Jones and Stephen Hawking could have had their brains swapped, so that the physical abilities of each was proportional to the value of his contributions to the world.
