DALLAS, TX — Citing the government shutdown, the U.S. military has been forced to end its 39-year deployment of black helicopters tasked with monitoring controversial radio host Alex Jones, sources confirmed today.

The helicopter squadron, first deployed on Feb. 11, 1974 to watch Jones as he was born, has been part of an intergovernmental task force comprised of the 160th Special Operations Air Regiment, CIA, NSA, local law enforcement, and the Bilderberg Group.

"It's really a sad, sad day when we have to call off an important operation like this one," said Pentagon spokesman George Weisshaupt. "Especially when we were just days away from deploying the chem trails near his home."
