   That's my conclusion as well.  I think it was Robert Heinlein who said
   that the most artistic way to lie is to tell the truth, maybe even the
   whole truth, so unconvincingly that everyone is sure you're lying.
   Whenever I catch Alex Jones "telling the truth" it turns out to be an
   exercise in the said art form.
   A professionally fabricated quasi-religiuos Conspiracy Belief System
   has
   displaced the FAR more sane and respectable homegrown Conspiracy Theory
   market it emulates, with our little droogie Alex leading the way.
   Alex and his ilk work hard to persuade /most/ of the public that
   dissident opinions and information contradicting corporate a.k.a.
   'mainstream' propaganda narratives are insane opinions based on
   ignorant
   lies.  Those who do buy into the narrative become de facto sock puppets
   who can be counted on to catapult the propaganda via social media
   networks, and to smear the stinking shit-stain of "lunatick beliefs"
   all
   over any dissident social or political activity their Dear Leader
   directs them to participate in.

   Mostly I think our ruling class just wants to finish looting everyone
   else's assets.  I don't think that the most destructive aspects of this
   process represent a plan to exterminate the human species, but rather,
   a
   consequence of the ignorance, greed, and perverse incentives inherent
   in
   corporate capitalism.
   An equal and in some respects opposite species of propaganda narrative
   targets the ruling class and its more senior servants assets, with the
   message that Super Science can and will solve /any/ material problem at
   any scale, laws of physics be damned, as soon as it becomes necessary
   to
   do so.  I have known some "smart" people who earnestly believe this
   nonsense, while dismissing the somewhat /less/ ignorant and irrational
   beliefs fabricated for consumption by the more ignorant among the
   peasantry.
