Timeline? The point of the story is the hubris. You show signs of suffering from it.
Jones didn't add to the MarsSpaceChildren story. That was mentioned by a guest, he mentioned yeh, classified space programs have existed yada yada. Other 'news' outlets make up the rest, nasa made a statement snowballing the whole thing. That's right, Alex Jones was embarrassed by a crazy theory.
Ironically in this instance the timeline does matter.

Your time line on that story is bizarre. It's not some story be ploughed a lonely furrow on. Worries about that class of chemical aren't new and he was no trailblazer for them. He just grabbed at a shred of information he heard about and added it to his pile, along with the idea the UN is breeding children for organ transplant on Mars and a thousand other random things, some of the accidentally factual.
Intellectual rigour is important to me. I never dismiss a question out of hand, no matter how odd the source. But there's only so much time you can waste on the irrational thought patterns of the conspiracy freaks. They may occasionally ask an important question that nobody else has asked - but actually they do that very rarely. Genuine skeptical like old Fred Hoyle are not found in their ranks.
