Exactly.
Yeah, exactly and the Alex Jones' of the world are Obi wan. Instead of convincing you that you aren't seeing stuff that is actually there, he's flipped it and has you believing you are seeing stuff that isn't.
They've got you believing that DHS bought 1.6B rounds of ammo...but they didn't
They've got you believing that DHS bought 2,700 "Tanks"....but they didn't
It's the perfect racket...all they have to do is print this stuff, loosely tied to some thread of a report of a "source", and y'all lap it up. Hell, sometimes they even provide a link to the actual contract or purchase order which, if actually read, proves that the claim is bogus...but they are banking that a percentage of people won't read the contract and will keep spreading the message. Spreading the message gives them hits on their websites which earns them more $$.
A fantastically incorrect story brings in more readers and Alex Jones sells more coffee cups and flags, but doesn't bring us one step closer to freedom.
