Alex Jones is an interesting guy. In his world, there is a conspiracy around every corner -- many of which involve the Bilderberg Group, the incredibly secretive global organization that publishes a participant list and has its own Wikipedia page. This year's meeting, which just concluded in the UK, included a whole host of shady people, from UK Prime Minister David Cameron and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to American statesman Henry Kissinger and U.S. General David Petraeus.
Jones was recently invited on the BBC to talk about the Bilderberg Group. He took the occasion to spout many different conspiracies, including FEMA camps and a government eugenics program that puts cancer viruses in vaccines. The most interesting conspiracy, for our purposes here, is that the Bilderberg Group helped found the euro which, according to Jones, "was actually a Nazi German plan to take over countries economically."
That's exactly backwards. The Nazi German plan to take over countries economically involved air raids and land invasions. On the other hand, the Eurozone was formed as a check on German power. The fundamental idea behind the European Union was that a continent that was tied together politically and economically would have no incentive to go to war. Even though most Germans want to revert back to the Deutsche mark, many in the German government feel that defending the euro is part of the obligation the country has to post-war Europe.
A clip of the interview is posted below. It ends with the host telling Jones that he's the worst guest he's ever had, and with Jones shouting, "You will not stop freedom! You will not stop the Republic! Humanity is awakening!"
It's a pity that such passion isn't matched by reality or sanity.
