Alex Jones was one of the first to attempt and exploit the tragedy in Boston for his own gain, claiming that the FBI was behind the attack. He was quick to claim that he had predicted the attack, and used it as a call to rally around. He told his fans that he was correct. And, of course, to only listen to him.

Alex Jones failed to mention was how wrong he has been over the years.

Gold hasn’t spiked, Obama hasn’t been killed, Europe has not had 15 nations collapse. Alex Jones’ record is worse than Milli Vanilli’s. But don’t tell that to his fans, who will do anything to validate the lies fed to them. These people, fed a regular stream of lies, flubs, and falsehoods, become lone wolf agents, often times falling afoul of the law in their efforts to prove what is fed to them. His tactics are those of the con man. They are designed only to fuel his media empire by feeding the paranoid.

Even right-wing paranoid kook Glenn Beck discussed the tactics used by Alex Jones and his ilk. Perhaps this is why the two pundits have had a very public tiff. Whatever the cause, the truth of the matter remains, no matter how crazy Glenn Beck is, he’s not as crazy as Alex Jones. And he’s not the only right-wing fanatic to call Alex Jones sick and twisted.

The origin of the prediction is of course this clip from Alex Jones, where he claimed that his “Spidey Sense” enabled him to identify that the Boston Bombing were to occur.

However, as pointed out above, Alex Jones predicts these things with such regularity. And yet, in his grand 50 Predictions For 2013, such an attack is notable for its absence. However, as 2013 is not over with yet, it is fairer to assess older predictions, such as this list for 2010-2012. And of that list, well, let us see for ourselves.
