Just read about this on the RW Discord channel. Why the heck did it take so long?
Also, what's the reason he got banned (we all know the kooky reason that "They" did it)? Oh, and what's SPLC? he mentions it on twitter. |

The Southern Poverty Law Center. They're one of the favorite bugaboos of the right wing crowd because they monitor lots of racist and hate groups. On another note: Alex Jones Is Accused of Discrimination and Sexual Harassment by Former InfoWars Employees |

Just read another post on the RW discord. Turns out Youtube is only getting rid of his ads and not his channel. Fecal matter (I've been reading too many Fuellar posts...)..

Alex Jones is accused of quite a lot of sexual harassment of his female employees:
http://www.newsweek.com/who-ashley-b...-sexual-825341 It's all the fault of the Deep State for turning him into a misogynous pig. |

A massive total of 8 Jones Drones have rallied to his defence, posting comments on that article.
Unsurprisingly, they all dismiss it as fake news. One of them calls for the sheeple to 'do your own research'. None of them appear to have followed this advice, as there is no apparent basis for the fake news allegation, other than "IT'S NOT TRUE! IT ISN'T!! LALALALALALALALA CAN'T HEAR YOU SHIPOL!!!!" Oh, and a claim that Newsweek is owned by the Rothschilds. (Which it isn't). I assume that, any day now, they will release their detailed reports of the interviews they have done with the employees of Infowars as part of their Intrepid Infowarrior Investigation Into Da Troof., and Jones will be cleared. |

Flipping through channels in Zurich I come across Tru TV Conspiracy Files. It's Jesse Ventura and Alex Jones talking about the New World Order wanting to kill half the world's population. Talk about a couple of serious loons!
Ventura goes back and tells a group, "Alex Jones looked me in the eye and told me they were trying to kill ME." Yeah, and he's a loon. But they describe him as a "conspiracy theory expert"! |

Three parents of Sandy Hook massacre have finally decided to sue Alex Jones for defamation about his claims that they were "crisis actors" and no kid died at Sandy Hook elementary school in December 2012.
I am just wondering why they waited for so long time before taking this decision. They should have done it much earlier. |

Jones now says he's been claiming for years that Sandy hook did happen. When did he actually start saying this? Tuesday this week? Ranb |

What were once staged or highly complex conspiracies to Jones have taken a different direction:
They are special operations using agents of the US govt. Alex Jones has abandoned the "What about BUILDING 7!" to his credit, but he implied in his debate with Piers Morgan that the US govt knew 9/11 in advance and allowed it to happen. Same with Sandy Hook it appears, and surely more to follow. |

He will say ANYTHING! Even if he contradicts himself from 12 minutes ago. As long as it helps him keep out of court. Because his brain-dead followers just trail along and send him money.

Or he thinks his fans will fall for it. Problem with Jones is its hard to tell if he is deranged or if he just thinks that is what will go over with his audience,who are not particularly intelligent.
Not sure it matters, Jones is a despicable waste of good oxygen in any event. |

I wonder if both of Alex's true fans are listening much these days.

He's made a film!
Jonesy has made a movie!
I watched the first 5 minutes of what looked like a bog-standard action film, and I suddenly realised that Our Alex had a starring role, as a Congressman of all things. It's called Amerigeddon. The introduction to the film was a dreary monologue about how conspiracy theories are really real, really. The characters were laughably two-dimensional: for example, two representatives of Them have a hushed conversation about how "the media will spread our narrative", and ask each other "what will happen if a section of the population....AWAKENS?". Script courtesy of Infowars, presumably. I googled it, and found the film's website. Jonsey assures us that it is every American's patriotic duty to support this film, a statement which reflects his objective stance here. The review section is worth looking at for the giggles: Infowars thinks it's great- more objectivity here- and there are plaudits from all sorts of conservative Christian groups, plus Fox. Nice. Has anyone made it through the whole film? What did you think? Did it make any impact in the States? |

There is quite a bit of legitimate criticism of the SPLC. While I agree in general with the mission, the question is whether they have morphed from being a charitable organization into a political organization.

Produced in 2016 according to IMDB. 4/10. Based on the trailer I'll not be wasting my time on this I think. The trailer certainly makes the military look bad. Ranb |

I've seen Alex Jones in regarding net neutrality and it just so stupid. If Alex Jones was a performance artist as he so claims his credentials must be questioned, if a loon on a radio wire why listen to things from him that have no merit. How many predictions up to this year has Alex made that never came true?
