I have been listening to Webster Tarpley on the Alex Jones show for some time. Tarpley is a very clever disinfo agent, who uses large amounts of doublethink to unbalance the listener. Infowars has some great guests, but the show has really tanked in the last 6 months.
Now why Alex Jones has Tarpley on Infowars and continues to pump him up is beyond me. Tarpley is the opposite of Ron Paul and Chuck Baldwin. On economics, law, history and social policy, Tarpley is basically an ideological neocon. Webster is as far from a Libertarian as Obama is, just in a different direction.
That Alex Jones continues to feature Webster Tarpley in movies and pump him up every single day, means that AJ is either,
- Unaware of the subject matter Tarpley is promoting
- Deliberately promoting Tarpley’s doublethink
- An idiot
I don’t think Alex is an idiot.
So what is the angle here?
I’m not sure, but over the next week, I will be breaking down Webster Tarpley in an effort to help people see past his doublethink and lies, and continue on a path to better understanding economics, politics and history. This was a role that Infowars was playing, but has abandoned since the US Presidential Election ended.
Webster Tarpley, disinformation agent
Before I end this post I want to offer an example. The other day, Alex Jones had John McManus from the John Birch Society on. Alex gave McManus a lot of respect. Tarpley comes on yesterday and says something derogatory about the anti-red movement in the 50s. The anti-red movement was the JBS. This is classic doublethink. Alex has an esteemed guest on, speaks to that audience, then a couple days later, has his new buddy Webster Tarpley talking down what the guest represents.
Today, I am listening to Tarpley again, and he’s very careful never to say “private enterprise”. That is because Tarpley has made very clear that he hates free markets, appearing to me to be a classic statist (socialist/fascist) and I intend to prove this with his own words.
