AJ clearly a excellent showman, he’s like a magician or a rock star, the magician knows his audience want to see magic and the rock star knows his audience want to hear some kick ass tunes and Alex Jones knows his audience want to hear sensationalist conspiracies.
When you look at what he is saying he is correct, terrorism kills relatively few in comparison with other factors in mortality rates and it is exaggerated in the media. The problem is that he has neglected to explain why, most of it can be contributed to the neoconservatives who need a psychological threat such as terrorism to be exaggerated to justify their foreign and domestic policies. It is about ideology, not conspiracy and people need to start recognising that this does not mean the threat is a “hoax” just that it is being manipulated by political ideology.
He also forgot to mention the significant psychological effect terrorism has on a population. People don’t care about bee stings or car crash’s but the sure as hell care about terrorists fly planes into buildings. The neoconservatives then use this fear to justify their foreign and domestic policy however the fear and the threat of terrorism is still very real.
But just in case we forget they like to remind us every now and then, particularly in republican administrations with countless officials ranting on and on about the threat of terrorism. This is again just a by-product of neo-conservatism, the media come into this when they support their partisan agendas so for example one paper supports the republican party, the republican party have a neoconservative agenda and because of the papers partisan agenda they re-enforce the neoconservatives policies.
It’s not anything to do with “conspiracy theories” it’s to do with political ideology and AJ is manipulating this to give his audience what they want. For that reason I know most of you will dismiss what I have to say.

You may disagree with me which is fair enough, but like I said you are the audience that AJ is targeting so I don’t expect you to agree with me. If you want to take this view with your conspiracy spin then feel free but your argument is all based on conspiracy theories such 9/11.
