That's not exactly an endorsement of his claims.

Essentially, his defense in the custody proceedings is "I was only kidding about all that".

I'm quite happy to admit that I'm wrong, if that turns out to be the case. However, it still isn't clear from the article you link to whether it is just his character that is performance art, or the content. After all, he's not the only one on Infowars: there are plenty of other "reporters" broadcasting the same stories. As far as I know, none of them have admitted to being actors.

So it's possible that he DIDN'T have sex with at least 150 women and beat up numerous grown men by the age of 16? Who'd have thought?

For me, one of the most repulsive displays during the custody battle was seeing him call on the media to respect his family during the trial. While I agree that his kids should be off limits to the media, the hypocricy of appealing for his family's privacy after he's **** on the graves of all those kids who died at Sandy Hook made me want to vomit, preferably in HIS mouth.

Colbert has been having a lot of fun with Alex Jones lately. Imitating him, and playing his clips. Based on the clips, I totally believe he is playing a character, they're just too over the top.

This just in: Alex Jones Voted For Obama!

Quote:
Former Infowars employees suggested that Jones’ secret fear was that his opposition would someday run out — especially if Obama lost re-election. One recalled Jones pacing back and forth on Election Day in 2012, nervous over the prospect of losing the polarizing president that had helped usher in ratings gold.

“He just kept saying, ‘Oh my God, if Obama loses, we're out of business,’” the employee said. “One of the guys in there asked, ‘You didn't vote for Obama, did you?’ And Alex said nothing. Just a grimace. I don't know what it meant.” A member of Jones’ staff during the 2012 election speculated that he would do anything for the sake of his show. “I personally think he voted for Obama to keep ratings going,” another former employee said. A third employee recalled Jones dropping hints that he was planning to cast his vote for Obama.

It's been admitted, people!

Interestingly, (and possibly to argue against my own, earlier point), it looks like he believes that voting does actually have an effect, and that the results are not pre-planned. I thought the Evil They controlled the elections, and that, despite the secrecy and the murderous efforts to preserve said secrecy, Jonesy had access to these secret scripts?

Alex Jones Retracts Chobani Claims to Resolve Lawsuit

Quote:
In a statement at the end of one of his broadcasts, Mr. Jones said: “During the week of April 10, 2017, certain statements were made on the InfoWars Twitter feed and YouTube channel regarding Chobani L.L.C. that I now understand to be wrong.
“The tweets and video have now been retracted and will not be reposted. On behalf of InfoWars, I regret that we mischaracterized Chobani, its employees and the people of Twin Falls, Idaho, the way we did.”
...
The reports — published on April 11 on InfoWars.com, Mr. Jones’s website, and on the Alex Jones Channel on YouTube — said the factory in Idaho, which employs refugees, was connected to the 2016 sexual assault of a child and a rise in tuberculosis cases. The reports were promoted on Twitter under the headline “Idaho Yogurt Maker Caught Importing Migrant Rapists” and were spread widely online.

Holy ****, that's twice in less than a year that he's backed off some CT BS. Has he finally hit the level of fame where he's no longer capable of saying whatever he wants, because he might actually attract enough attention to be held accountable?

Although there is still a lot of pro Trump stuff on infowars,Jones himself has stopped the non stop worship of Trump. He is smart enough to see where this is going.

Oh this is great during the early 9/11 Thermite theories Jones was being supported by Russian and Iranian trolls.

Jones has been on PUtin's payroll as a "correspondent" for Russia Today for some time.

2017-2018 bots take over people terminated by brain sucking aliens, Donald Trump saves us all, no brain to suck aliens starve!

Please donate to the save a troll fund the unemployed Trolls need your help they have children to feed just like you do.

Conspiracy theories are not just crazy people the are a Propoganda tool, used to divid Democracy, to weaken and disrupt it.

Jones has an encounter with an odd-looking fellow who pours some coffee on him. Denounces him as a literal goblin. Apparently that fellow is now owning it and making a thing of it.
The police have trolled Jones on twitter.

This explains so much.

Quote:
Over the past three years, conspiracy site InfoWars has copied more than 1,000 articles produced by Russian state-sponsored broadcaster RT to its website — all without the permission of RT.

According to data from social sharing tracking website BuzzSumo, there were at least 1,014 RT articles republished on InfoWars since May of 2014. The articles appeared on InfoWars with a byline credit to RT, but a spokesperson for the Russian broadcaster told BuzzFeed News that InfoWars did not have permission to re-publish its content.

RT is not the only outlet InfoWars copied content from. A search on BuzzSumo shows there are articles copied from CNN, Sputnik, Breitbart, CNS News, the Blaze, CBC, BBC, Vice, The Guardian, The Washington Post, The New York Times, The New York Post, LA Times, BuzzFeed, and others. RT’s articles, however, seem to be the most numerous.

I listened to his show for months and cannot say I learned anything of use. In one show he even said they would probably lose against the elite. Why is he bothering then?

He claims to have 'white papers' that the gov are planning to turn people gay. You never see any of these papers on the web. Why would they admit their plans in papers that anyone can read?

"It's been admitted!" has been his major shtick for most of his career. He knows he can wave around a book and claim that it contains up front admissions of any nonsense he wants to spew, safe in the knowledge that none of his core audience will ever take the time to read the book and find out he's lying. He also knows that if anyone else tries to point that out, his audience will claim that the other person is some lying shill for the government.

All things considered, it's been a good little earner for him.

I don't think he's lying consciously. He's twisting what these papers say. One example is that Bill Gates said he wanted to increase the plan for vaccinations to bring down the population numbers. They saw that literally. What Gates meant is that people who have kids die of disease tend to then keep on having more babies to compensate.

You should spend some time on Icke's forum. Homophobes and racists. Some of them believe all child abuse is caused by Jews. You can say that kind of thing on there and the mods do nothing. I called a homophobe gay, and he is according to his own view on latent homosexuality, and I was banned for a month. They're always banning me.

Clearly conspiracy brings out demons in people. It gives them an allowance to take out their hates and fears and give them an air of respectability.

Apparently Jones is now crying that YouTube would delete Infowars account: http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefi...fowars-channel

It furthermore seems that big US companies and brands have realized that their advertisements ended up on Infowars YouTube channel and are now questioning YouTube about how this was made possible: http://money.cnn.com/2018/03/03/tech...nes/index.html

He's not the only conspiracy hoaxer to have their channels deleted, Utube has deleted literally thousands of them in recent days (he is afaik only one more strike from losing the infowars channels)- so step up people, view his videos, find something thats reportable AND REPORT IT!!!

Lets get em gone for good!

Stupid Free Market.
Why don't companies let Alex Jones use their services for free, and in return he will taint their brand?

When youtube started it was so that people could broadcast videos of themselves falling over, their holidays, or their pets. I don't think they could have anticipated people treating like an unregulated free DIY TV channel where any poisonous tripe they care to concoct could be spewed world wide and treated as gospel by morons.

I am always wary of large corporations deciding what content is acceptable and what isn't, but equally I welcome a bit of social responsibility where youtube users don't seem able to exercise it themselves.
