I can't listen to the whole of the programme tonight - even someone who should get out more goes out sometimes.
But I listened to some. Tonight, Aaron Dykes, Alex Jones occasional understudy, played 'Me and Bobby McGee' sung by Janis Joplin - the lyrics are fairly self-justifying for a radio show of this nature but Dykes may or may not have been aware of the song's origins - especially given the frequency which flimsy links are drawn between people and circumstances to manufacture conspiracy by the InfoWars gang.
Jones often makes reference to the life and legacy of Cecil Rhodes who he frequently reminds his listeners had the ambition of a one world government. He bequeathed the bulk of his fortune to the establishment of a trust for scholarship funding of postgraduate study at Oxford University. The trust was initially administered by Nathan Rothschild - the significance of which would not be lost on any of Jones' listeners. Candidates are supposedly chosen on their suitability to help facilitate world government.
Rhodes Scholars include, James Woolsey, Wesley Clark, Bill Clinton, Richard Haas and Naomi Wolf (a frequent guest on InfoWars) - they seem to have a disproportionate tendency to prominence.
So, what has this to do with Me and Bobby McGee?
Well, although it was made famous by other people, including Roger Miller and Janis Joplin, the song was written by Kris Kristofferson, himself a Rhodes Scholar in 1958. This is not to discredit Kristofferson - he has an admirable track record opposing aggressive US foreign policy - but being a Rhodes Scholar is normally sufficient for Jones to spider a network of nefarious links.
