oh so you reported the post? good show!
edit- i'm not exactly addressing the video, but i promise i'm not being condescending or coming off like i know better either. i'm trying to look at this the best i can in a rational way and won't let my own opinions creep in to muddy the discussion. please bear with me and correct my points where i may be wrong!
i really can't get over the title of this vid. just to get an idea of how long he's been making videos, let's check out alex jones' filmography here:
Alex Jones (radio host) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
the first was called "america: destroyed by design." way back in 1998! he could use some imagination coming up with these names, but i digress. check out the movies section of alex's infowars.com to see the kinds of synopses he's provided for them:

i'm drawn to this one for police state 2000, released a full decade ago in 1999:

Alex Jones exposes the problem-reaction-solution paradigm being used to terrorize the American people into accepting a highly controlled and oppressive society. From children in public schools being trained to turn in their peers and parents, to the Army and National Guard patrolling our nation's highways, Police State: The Takeover reveals the most threatening developments of Police State control in our age.

well, you heard it. MARTIAL LAW IS HERE!!! i'm sure (quite confidently, having seen these films) alex compiled relevant articles and stories to support the claims made by him and others in both these and all his other videos. that doesn't take away from the fact that he's still making the same video, over and over, with the same claims that haven't quite happened yet but which he can still find information in news and interviews to support. not to sidetrack, but i noticed the source you posted in the moon hoax thread was compiled very recently, earlier this year, creatively deconstructing new information and building it up to support the claim that nasa has not run missions to the moon. given sustained conditions alex jones could easily carry this task another 40 years as well, you follow?
i hope the preceding explains well enough why i refrained from addressing the actual video content. i also find it boring and uninteresting, but i think i've explained my understanding of how, all things considered, this is all questionable speculation delivered in an unabashed, entertainingly sensational form. alex jones was the first to give me the example of world affairs playing out like a wwf match. in following with that analogy, alex jones and other conspiracy theorists seem like those obsessed fans who churn out fanfiction to develop their own sense of the official canon.
