Has anyone else noticed that South Carolina Representative and chairman of the Benghazi committee, Trey Gowdy, looks like the banjo kid from "Deliverance" all grown up?

       And by representative, in this case, you mean he's there to represent the Alex Jones constituency and make sure we know Benghazi was a false flag attack and part of the International Jewish Conspiracy?

Imagine a joint session and Robert Byrd was still alive. Get him on the fiddle and this guy on the banjo and some good old timey bluegrass concert! And likely could discuss the never ending question over Clorox or generic bleach for getting whites really white.
ps: Alex Jones has divorced his Jewish wife (apparently quite a settlement) so now, I expect, he can go full-on on the Jewish side of this grand conspiracy (in the past he shied away from that.)

just be grateful he doesnt dye his hair jet black, and have a critter under his nose.

File this under movie lines that I expected that weren't.  Just watched the original "Total Recall".  In the scene where Arnold kills Richter and is still holding his arms I expected Arnold to go all googly eyed and scream "Richter! You forgot your ahhhhhhhmmmmmms!" as he thoughtfully threw them back.

                <falls over dead, picks self back up> Alex Jones was married to a Jewish woman?! Are you kidding me?

Not kidding, where have you been? One of the reasons that certain circles (far-right conspiracy crowd mainly but also some of the opposite spectrum) have always been against him and claim he is a Mossad-plant, etc. It is quite funny, in a way, to see conspiracy guy being out-conspiracied. He also had a Jewish attorney of some renown in the past. Now we will see, post-divorce, if he changes his tune or not. As an aside he used another attorneys (though also of renown and locally famous) for his divorce. I saw him shout down some neo-Nazis handing out pamphlets at a gunshow two decades ago, years before his Jewish wife, Jewish lawyer, radio operation, etc for what that is worth. I doubt the "Mossad," CIA, Vatican, etc etc picked him out then but....then again...

             Incredible. First, I thought Jones was the pied freakin' piper of the conspiracy nuts and didn't know that other nuts opposed him or questioned his credentials. Second, yes, it's always good fun to watch two groups of total whack jobs going at it--as sometimes happens on Art's show or C2C when two UFO type guests, for example, vie for the perception of authenticity so as to sell more books. Third, I once heard Alex Jones shout things about the Jews in death camps that were literally unbelievable--and as a Jew myself I thought I'd heard it all. And a Mossad plant? That's wild. Anyway, as you say, it'll be interesting (though I'll have to rely on you or someone else here to hopefully report back on it) to see if he now feels freed from his former restraints (sadly, not the straitjacket variety he so desperately needs) and can at least express mild antipathy for Jews.

Oh, one thing you can count on is that conspiracy folks (of any genre) or any far-left or far-right party get attacked/accused by others. It is worse than political infighting in a mainstream political party. Everybody suspect. Who is not "pure" or real believer, those who find success are suspect, etc. I seem to recall Bill Copper was against Jones (and Art) back in the day. Alex has always been "pro-Jew" (big on the  Jews for Firearms type of theory and criticizing NAZIs etc) so the anti-Jew or pro-Palestine crowd has always criticized him. So him marrying a Jew and using the Jewish attorney caused some funny stuff. And now divorced! With child custody and settlement issues. I'm hoping (for his sake) he let his attorneys (famous ones locally) speak for him because he would be epic if he spoke/ranted in open court- not a good idea.

           I doubt he would be allowed to rant in open court; they don't allow speech making for exactly that reason. Anyway, I guess you mean Jones was *perceived as" pro-Jew, because the few times I listened to him way back when, as I said, the shit that came out of his mouth about Jews shocked even me. In any case, yes, as you say, with fanatics and conspiracy cunts, accusations of insufficient ideological purity and the giving of litmus tests are abundant. I've never heard of Bill Copper, but am going to put him in the Cunt Box on principle, along with the rest of that herd.

A mistyping. William "Bill" Cooper of "Behold a Pale Horse" and SW fame (and killed over a noise dispute by the police, cough-cough) was the guy I mentioned. He had some diatribes about Art and Jones. I think, if I can recall, one was Art being a Mason (well, yes, he did say he was so on the radio once- but I think he was pranking a caller....would a high-level Mason have such legal and professional difficulties over the years?  ) As far as Alex I haven't listened in quite some time since he lost his place on the radio but as a local nut gone big and having seen him around town I wouldn't put him in the "anti-Jew" category- even if divorced from his wife. As I said I've seen him shout down neo-Nazis and he always goes on and on about "everybody in every group" in high positions are corrupt. He bitches about David Duke etc also quite a bit. Who knows? Maybe as a Mossad/Vatican agent he is playing a triple reverse gate-keeper cointel-pro game?

              You forgot the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderbergers. He's working for them, too.  For years I've heard this term 'cointel-pro' and wondered what it means. Perhaps you can enlighten me. If enlighten is the right word.

You forgot Council of Foreign Relations. 
COINTELPRO was an FBI operation mainly against communist, civil rights, and black power groups (but also some others) back in the day. The Church Committee brought a lot of it to light but some records of various programs were destroyed (particularly in the CIA role in some programs like MKUltra etc.) What is actually sort of funny is that back when most of the subscriber-ship to the domestic pro-communist newsletters and such were from Fed subscribers to keep tabs on them and also the KKK had so many infiltrators by the FBI, and others, that those groups almost existed solely on government funds at some points!

Good story about the government taking the property of some mine near Area 51.

http://www.lasvegasnow.com/news/nevada-family-fights-government-over-property-near-area-51

Its worth watching the local news piece that is streaming on the link.

I found this link on the Alongside Night page (which has some good links).

The Groom Mine has been in the Sheahan family for 130 years. Since military testing started in the mid 50's, the family has had one of the nation's most closely guarded secrets literally in their backyard.

They have never spoken about it publicly -- until now.

"First, we really didn't want to come public, but the Air Force has forced us into it. We want 'em to know what they have done over the last 60 years to our family is not acceptable," said Dan Sheahan, Groom Mine co-owner. "These were fired over our property. The bullets, the cases dropped on the ground right there and then."

The Sheahans say their buildings have been strafed and bombed by military jets over the past six decades. They believe it was an errant bomb or dropped wing tank that blew up their mill in the 1950's --  ending production at the mine.

I found this article on Erin Moran (from 2012) funny: http://pagesix.com/2012/10/17/fonzie-reaches-out-to-help-down-and-out-erin-moran/

"Moran, who played Joanie Cunningham in the iconic TV show, and her hubby had been living in his mom’s Indiana trailer. But she was reportedly thrown out over her hard-partying ways. "

Thrown out of an Indiana trailer, not even her own trailer.

"The actors’ lawyer Jon Pfeiffer has kept in touch with Moran by phone and said she doesn’t seem to be in any distress, despite reports she’s bouncing between friends’ couches and cheap motels."

"Earlier this week, Baio said he hadn’t kept up with Moran, and seemed less than interested in the “Joanie Loves Chachi” actress’ plight.
“I don’t know what her situation is,” Baio told Fox411.com.
“I have a job to do, I have a wife and child to take care of. So I don’t pay attention to things that I don’t know anything about. I’ve got my own situation to deal with.”

Nice guy, that Scott Baio.

I just used the phrase "sauerkraut never goes bad."

(A minor dispute over refrigerator cleaning/cleansing?) I probably am wrong and backing away, via subtlety changing of conversational direction, and, hopefully prevented from testing/proving my premise.
