Description

1999 was a year of viral memes, even though we didn't know what those were yet. "I see dead people." "One time at band camp." The Budweiser Wassup commercial.  

In the late '90s, the Texas-based radio show host Alex Jones looked around and saw "The X-Files," "The Blair Witch Project," "Eyes Wide Shut," "The Matrix," and the barrage of '90s pop culture about government cover-ups, and started a radio show about conspiracy theories. He called it InfoWars. By 1999, it was being carried on 50 small stations and Jones took his show online, to an even bigger audience.
