I've witnessed them hit Gaia and Google Video, spamming threads and artificially inflating video rankings. Now they are using Digg.com's user control scheme to inflate ("Digging Up") the rankings of infowars.com and prisonplanet.com links.

Now here comes the crazy part (like they aren't crazy already) - Alex Jones asks them to spam and give the articles high ratings, [insert site here] catches on and bans/deletes said articles because they are spam, the Alex Jones posse then claims that they are censoring the anti-NWO ideas, even though what they are really doing is deleting things because spamming is against the Terms of Service.

And there you have it. The average conspiracy theorist. They claim to know the inner workings of the government, but they don't even know the inner workings of the Google and Digg ToS. The only thing feeding their paranoia is their own stupidity.

And now for a great quote from Triterope of the JREF Forums.

Triterope of the JREF Forums
Don't forget (c) thinking it's going to make a shred of difference in the world. It's comical how seriously Alex Jones, Dylan Avery, and their followers take their Google Video rankings. Especially when you consider the vacuousness of everything else that gets into these rankings.

Alex Jones simultaneously tells his readers to artificially inflate his ratings, complains that Google throws out his counts, alleges that Google Video pulls videos for political reasons, and boasts about his rankings on Google Video. Congratulations, Alex, you've invented quadruplethink.

Google Video could put an end to Alex Jones using them as his free promotion/credibility service by requiring a video to be watched at least halfway before it counts as a "view." It's absurd that these rankings treat views the same with no regard to the video's length. I don't think the number of people who sat through a tedious 90-minute conspiracy documentary is the same as the number of people who watched a four-second clip of a guy getting hit in the head with a soccer ball.

Ugh. You know, seeing how good old Alex Jones acts really allows me to understand our own Gaian consipiracy nuts just a little better.
