“The Air Force on Tuesday confirmed a report that in 1994 a military researcher requested $7.5 million to develop a non-lethal "love bomb" that would chemically alter the state of mind of enemy troops and make them want to have sex with each other rather than fight”. In 2007, this story broke on Fox News. This was a tactic proposed to end bloodshed in war on the basis of psychological arrangement. Alexis Jones has the head reporter and creator of Info Wars; a news broadcasting website, has published a rant of the U.S. Air Force sending of a ‘Gay Bomb’ in the 2007 Iraq war. This Bomb was supposed to once it was released into the air turn the enemy of the Americans who they were fighting gay. “The goal was to create a non-lethal weapon to be used against enemy troops” – Lt. Col. Cathy Reardon. According to the fox news Article it was denied. However, Jones claims that this bomb has already been released into the atmosphere of America already. Jones has come up with this whole phenomenon solely because of a military proposition that was terminated in 1994. This is where the fake news come into play. Alexis Jones has been known to be a ‘Extreme Conservative’ and the someone who calls himself a Jesus worshiper who criticizes and goes against the Bible himself. Getting back to the story. Jones has made the claim that U.S. government is responsible for the excessive amounts of homosexual people today in America. He doesn’t say when the ‘Gay Bomb’ was ever released but he explains how. Jones states “What do you think tap water is? It’s a gay bomb baby” he goes on to say people might have homosexual feelings but it’s the chemical in the water that sets them over the top. I political Fact checked this story and nothing remotely true came out about his theory. I knew this was fake news for 2 other reasons besides fact checking this story he claims the water is turning the frog’s gay as well. So, in one article he claims Americans tap water is laced with a chemical that makes you gay, but also it turns frogs gay. He has no proof of these claims just simply a Wikipedia article which he I could edit If I wanted to. Wikipedia has at best been only proven to be 70-80 % accurate which tells me Jones belief was extremely opinionated and very bias. It’s extremely eye opening that he gets things off the Internet and people believe him.  Regarding criticism, he would fall under cluster criticism as he associates claim after claim with one another.
