And? So the information is wrong?
Alex Jones is waking a crap load of people up.
Alex Jones being Alex Jones.
This "secret" "leaked" Army manual has been online for YEARS (the 2010 edition is just a routine update to a much older manual- this particular field manual is at least 50 years old) at many websites- freely available to anyone with an internet connection and access to Google.
As usual, Jones and his conspiracy theorist pals liberally cut and paste snippets out of context and use it to concoct a sensational conspiracy theory.
Want an example? Go to the "infowars" page. Near the bottom, he highlights a section about a "Psychological Officer" then highlights a section about "resettlement" and flies off the handle about how this proves that the military is planning to round up and "re-educate" American civilians.
Of course, anyone who is paying attention will realize the "Psyops" line came from chapter 3, which talks about POWs and detainees and the resettlement line came from chapter 10, which talks about the use of the military, including the National Guard, to help provide food, shelter, clothing, etc to victims of natural disasters and other calamities.
Clearly, one item has nothing to do with the other, but Alex Jones does his "cut and paste" artistry to try and fool you into drawing a sensational (and nonsensical) conclusion.
If anyone else did this, we'd all be calling him a liar and a fraud. But when Alex Jones does it, a lot of people in these forums give him a free pass.
What I don't understand is why so many Ron Paul supporters, who tend to be cynical (and rightfully so), take the word of Alex Jones as Gospel, even after he's been shown to be full of crap time and time again.
Alex Jones ain't Ron Paul, folks.
Yes, I know, he supports Ron Paul. And he also points out government excesses and gives air time to tell stories that other outlets don't cover or only cover briefly (e.g. cases of police abuse, etc).
But he's also a bully, a blowhard and a charlatan who has shown time and time again that he will broadcast sensationalist bull shit that he must know is wrong (he's not stupid) just to get ratings. He has also shown a propensity to bully and walk all over other people, including those in the liberty movement, just to bring attention to himself.
I'm not saying don't listen to the guy, but evaluate what he says with the huge amount of skepticism that it deserves, just as you would if the words were coming from Romney or Obama or Rush Limbaugh or any other BS artist.
Don't pack for the "FEMA Camp" just yet based on this "story."
