The purpose of controlled opposition is to beat your enemy to the punch, or perhaps create what you know will eventually be your enemy before your enemy has a chance. You don't wait around for your enemy to get into position organically with a genuine attack, no you CREATE a fake enemy first which allows you to poison the waters so to say before your opposition has a chance to create a "genuine alex Jones." So now look at AJs whole persona and all its negatives, and then look at all the good things it can be associated with: the gadsden flag, love of constitution, God, etc. AJ says alot of on point things and brings light to accurate conspiracies while also doing plenty to poison the water.
He's been able to become the biggest figure in that political market place, and his handlers can make sure the things that CAN'T get out to the public won't, while feeding them enough to whet their appetite and make them think by listening to AJ they're "on the cutting edge" So now when a REAL alex Jones comes along such as Q, there ends up being many people who never followed Q because of the immediate association with conspiracies and this guy named alex Jones who they already hate.
