A frighteningly similar scenario is now on the horizon with the news that the CIA’s investment arm In-Q-Tel is putting cash into Visible Technologies, a company that monitors the output of social media, in order to “Read your blog posts, keep track of your Twitter updates — even check out your book reviews on Amazon,” reports Wired News.

Of course, the fact that the U.S. government and the military have been overloading the Internet with pro-war propaganda and trolls who are paid to cheerlead for the war on terror and attack critics is an admitted part of their cyberwarfare agenda, and Israel has done the same.

However, the prospect of the CIA closely monitoring social networking websites, whose content largely comprises of inane gossip and sophomoric blabber, shows just how afraid the establishment is of rising popular opposition to their agenda'.

Alex Jones is a nutcase.

I don't agree with this crap (like the USA PATRIOT Act), but having Jones as your source eliminates all credibility from the post.

Jones is a little off the edge sometimes, but he has the guts to stand up for the truth and fight for what he believes in - which puts him in front of 90% of the Rush Limbaugh-Glen Beck-Michael Savage clones out there.

Alex Jones's first concern is promoting Alex Jones. And he's got the right to do so.

So...does anyone have a link to those sites? Let's test this sucker out!

Why? Does Jones resemble Glenn Beck?

I don't think so.

Unlike the Fox types, Alex Jones does not seem very partisan to me.

No, he's a paranoid delusional psychotic.

He is a 9/11 conspiracy nut.
He thinks that Wall Street and Barack Obama were in cahoots to create the 2008 recession to take over the country.
He believes that the bombings in 2005 in London were also caused by the Government.

Sorry, while he's not the same kind of nut that Glenn Beck is, he's still a nut. Ed Begley Jr. is also a nut...people can be nuts on all ends of the political spectrum.

Basic difference is: Jones can think - Beck can't.
