There’s no conspiracy theory like a home-grown conspiracy theory. So when it comes to watching the skies for black helicopters, Texas has always been able to turn to Alex Jones.

The commander of Infowars will be mixing it up with another Austin original, the Alamo Drafthouse, tonight when he premiers footage from his latest “Fear the New World Order” magnum opus Endgame.

Apparently it “documents the plan of the global elite to setup a world government and exterminate more than 80% of the world’s population.” It’ll be interesting to see whether Alex has anything to say/rant/tirade about the collapsing World Trade Organization talks at Potsdam this week. Just don’t ask him about the Pentaveret.
