Who is this "Allen" that was quoted?
I do remember a few years ago a talk radio host (Hal Turner, mentioned in the post) admitted to something like this. It's just barely plausible. Even then, it does not mean that Jones was knowingly working for the FBI, he might have just been a schlep willing to take on interns from a front company without looking too deeply into that company. If anything, it would be a way to get an informant into Infowars. |

And that's the "too pat" part I was talking about. Just enough truth so that someone who follows this will understand it, and maybe get suckered. But it's just so convenient that, years before Turner was outed as working with the government, this guy just happened to have a couple of FBI agents just drop that tidbit in his lap (completely unsolicited, of course), and yet, he never bothered to mention it to anyone else, despite being deep enough into the CT scene that he told the FBI to get lost. |

Infowars scoop: "Infowars host alleges that Hurricane Lane, which is threatening Hawaii, has been split in two by an energy beam shot from Antarctica, possibly by John Kerry http://mm4a.org/4Zq"
https://twitter.com/mmfa/status/1032999491287371777 And for once they were right, as Kerry has confessed: "The secret's out - busted!" https://twitter.com/JohnKerry/status...63772310040576 |

Well, this is fun.
I'm not going to link to any sources because I've not yet found one without some NSFW content, but notorious homophobe and transphobe Alex Jones was livestreaming and opened all the tabs on his phone - revealing he browses trans porn. Worth googling if you're somewhere where you're not going to get in trouble. |

Yup, the hypocrisy of this one is just too delicious to resist. One of the world loudest screechers against gay anything.... Can't wait to see how he dances around this with his viewer base. "But it was for research ! No really, it was just research !" Yet another classic case of: "The lady doth protest too much, me thinks." |

Another setback for Jones and a big step forward for sane people.

Alex Jones manages to hit the news big time with a public fight with Mario Rubio
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/pol...217851000.html I see Alex has grown a beard... |

For anyone who's 'Jonesing for Jones' I did stumble across two videos, the first compiling a list of 45 failed predictions made by Alex Jones and supporters.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxt_bEDdTTc The second a list of over 120 untrue statements Jones made on air. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7t0fqD83TI These date from 2012, I can remember seeing an earlier list of failed prediction and contradictory statements from Jones. Does anyone know whether anyone kept up the task as I think it is fairly instructive. |

Back in the Dawn of Time, there was a poster here (now banned) who kept a website of "Everything that Alex Jones Believes". I have no idea if he's still keeping up that list, and his name escapes me at the moment. He was a professor who posted under his real name, though, if I recall correctly. That might give you enough clues to google him up, or maybe someone else remembers his name. |

Just tried using google to search for the page title you gave and the only thing it returned was this thread. Talk about the memory hole... But seriously all Jones is really complaining about is that his reach has been curtailed, and when you are in the 'health supplement' business anything that reduces your ability to scare a growing audience into buying your products is a major threat. This roughly half-an-hour long video by YouTuber Jeff Holiday covers the basics of the InfoWars alternate-medicine scam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdlJ4GXfWfk |

Zero-day means the developers of the software are unaware of the vulnerability (Zero-day (computing)WP). You're on your own with "leftist stay behind networks"
