Paranoia Strikes Deep in Seattle

[elfs]

Van with Infowars sticker

If you have a taste for the paranoid style in American politics, you couldn't get much better than Alex Jones's Infowars (and sister site Prison Planet). Both of these sites are high on the "secret cabal that rules the world" storyline, and both develop a certain amount of frission (it's like a fnord, only orgasmic) from spotting the invisible hand of T.H.E.M. (They Have Everybody Mindfucked) at work.

I'm surprised at just how many Infowars fans there appear to be in Seattle. The stickers are everywhere, and it's not just one guy going around slapping them up: I see the Infowars and "9/11 Was An Inside Job" stickers on cars, bicycles, even messenger bags. There's a subculture in Seattle that loves Alex Jones and David Icke, and sometimes takes it far too seriously.

The local Jones fans seem to take a great deal of joy in plastering their "Google: secret government" posters all over the light poles across the street from Google's main campus. I've occasionally considered renting a MiB suit and earpiece rig just so I could give them a little thrill by standing there watching them.

That van has license plate "Assbaiter"?

"Like a fnord, only orgasmic" definitely got a big chuckle out of me.

This is Rose, by the way, if you didn't know.
