I certainly didn't accuse you of any unwillingness of buying into every buckcrazy bit of nonsense..... However, there is this issue with the alledged beheading and some people's opinions that the video was doctored. There is the allegation, as well as the rationalization that the beheading recorded for public view was designed to provoke public outrage, either for:
1. Engineered by ISIS into provoking the US and some of their hangers-on to intervene militarily with boots on the ground in order to draw the US into another costly war.
2. Engineered by shady US spooks into manufacturing consent for war despite the US population's weariness at committing combat troops on the ground.
Just because Alex Jones repeated the latter doesn't mean that it's to be automatically discounted, and just because some agree with Alex jones on this one doesn't mean that those people automatically believe everything he says.
As far as I am concerned, either of these two theories are possible. Major US corporations stand to make a lot of money if the US should engage itself wholeheartedly in this. Obama doesn't really run foreign policy. He just thinks he does. There are sinister players behind the politicians in the White House. My observations and comparisons with reports on the ground from alternative media (foreign as well as stuff that appear near the back pages of major foreign newspapers (The Independent, the Guardian as an example), have convinced me that the North American media is censuring itself. It has not been free since the consolidation of US media during the Clinton Presidency. Editors are answerable to their publishers, who are the leaders of mega corporations that collude with or control the politicians. Rupert Murdoch is the perfect example of this, and he's just the tip of the iceberg.
It's not so much what they say. It's what they DON'T say.
