Wingnut Bigot Claims Govenment is "Creating Gays With Chemicals"

The batshitery that passes a intellectual discourse in conservative circles just seems to be sliding further into a swamp of insanity.  William F. Buckley, Jr., must be spinning like a top in his grave.  Now, wingnut InfoWars radio host Alex Jones (pictured above) is claiming that the government (presumably the federal government) is creating gays with chemicals.   The batshitery takes conspiracy theories to a new absurd levels.  But this kind of insanity is now the norm among the far right and one has to wonder what it will take to break the mental illness that seems to plague the Christofascists and their political whores in the GOP.   Huffington Post looks at the feverish insanity.  Here are highlights:

We've heard a lot of ridiculous things about where LGBT people come from and what they're capable of .  .  .  .  .  , but Alex Jones' claim that the government is creating gays with chemicals takes conspiracy theories to a new level.

Jones is raising eyebrows again after a series of clips from several years ago began to recirculate on the Internet this week.   In the videos he claims the government is "encouraging homosexuality with chemicals so that people don't have children" and that he has the documentation to prove it. Upon cutting open a juice box to show the plastic membrane supposedly filled with said chemicals he concludes, "After [little boys] are done drinking your juices, [they're] ready to go out and have a baby... [they're] ready to put together a garden of roses... [they're] ready to go put lipstick on..." 

Jones is also worried about MSG in Kettle Chips and fluoride in spring water.

In another clip he states that troublesome chemicals are seeping into water ways and even turning male frogs into female frogs. Research has shown that chemicals found in common weed killers have been proven to "feminize" male frogs, but it is not clear if the same effects could take place with humans.

While we're still waiting for experts to come up with a definitive answer as to why people are gay or straight (and we may never know), we've never come across anyone -- other than Jones -- who thinks it is due to juice boxes.

Laughably, InfoWars warns that there is a "war on for your mind."  Obviously, Jones has lost his mind and one has to wonder how many other Kool-Aid drinkers have likewise slipped into insanity.
