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.
