Very cool find.

EDIT: Did some quick searches (one of which led me to a 2007 thread of this very same thing), found out that the director of this movie, Richard Linklater, follows Alex Jones and has been on his radio show before. Definitely done on purpose.

That's very interesting, I'm going to see if the director has any other good movies.

The Director, Richard Linklater, made a movie called "A Scanner Darkly" in 2006 and Alex Jones was in that as well.

Alex Jones also does a rant in Linklater's movie Waking Life.

The movie Slacker is set in Austin, TX. The whole entire movie seems populated by Ron Paulites. I watched it for the first time in 2009 and almost rolled out of my chair laughing, because half of the characters in the film seemed like some of the people I met during the 2007 campaign.

And if this isn't a pre-tin foil hat truther, then I don't what is:

Best. Alex. Jones. Rant. Ever.

I actually saw that movie YEARS before I got into the movement, it was really an inspiration even back then.

The movie is well worth the watch, too.
