9 Craziest Things We Learned From The Alex Jones-Joe Rogan Podcast

3. Operation Paperclip

While the thought of a Nazi being taken to the US to create a fake space program called NASA just so it could actually work as a secret government and topple the structures around it kind of sounds like the plot to Captain America: Civil War, Jones alleges during the podcast that it's 100% true.

Following Germany's defeat during World War II, the US took over a thousand scientists from Nazi Germany back to the States so they could help them win the space race. That's right: Wernher von Braun was a straight-up Nazi scientist who was helping Hitler create rockets for the Nazis before he became one of the top scientists in the US.

Jones might not be right all the time, but there's certainly some smoke coming the flames that he's trying to fan.
