Conspiracy theorist and radio show host, Alex Jones, is perhaps best known for starting the theory that the U.S. government was somehow complicit in the attacks of September 11 in 2001. But for many years prior to that, Jones had held various anti-government views. None, however, gained him more notoriety than his 9/11 truth movement. Before 9/11 Alex Jones was an obscure radio host the average person would just call a conspiracy nut. But when 9/11 happened, Alex's fortune changed. Suddenly, he was giving speeches at major universities and making several television appearances. The films he made were viewed daily by millions of people.
When the Obama administration killed Osama Bin Laden, Alex Jones' media empire of fame was in danger of crashing down to Earth. Suddenly, a fake photo of Bin Laden appeared on the internet claiming to be his dead body. The photo was obviously a fake and one of the first websites to debunk it was InfoWars.com. Jones then claimed the Obama administration had created the fake photo even though no media reports confirmed that. Jones, however, has several photoshop experts on his staff who one would think would know how to doctor photo.
So my theory is that Jones, in order to protect his fame and fortune, created the fake photo to keep the 9/11 conspiracy theory alive.
