I tell my fellow liberals, especially the really anti-war types, not to get too excited over this. The reason Alex Jones doesn't want war isn't the reason they don't want war.

RT is reviving the World Peace Council.

I would love to see this confirmed. Obviously he has appeared on RT, but do you have any evidence he is on the payroll? There was a minor dustup late last year when Buzzfeed discovered that he was stealing content from RT.

Iran, Venezuela and Russia are the Troll foundation of Infowars, they have been since William Rodriguez visited those countries on behalf of Steven E. Jones's Scholars for truth. The only difference now is the Russian Use Trolls and bots, in combination and the trolls Intelligence level has gotten slightly smarter.
The Russian Troll farms actually hired Nigerian, scammers to teach the Russian Trolls how to be more convincing. They started doing that in 2008-2009.

Has Trump had his usual Twitter tantrum yet?
You know, the one where he writes some Elementary School Girl-level angry post about whoever dares criticise him?

This reminds me of bill o riley and Glenn Becks get off my phone or do it live speech. Alex Jones was supporting trump with all the head stories. I wonder what trump thinks of Alex since he let the cat out of the bag to attack trump? As trump was a supporter for Alex Jones.

Alex Jones has long since forgotten completely about the Syrian airstrikes and is now fully in bed with Trump again by the way, in case people haven't been keeping track.

Whelp, I agree with Alex Jones 100% on a single subject. Please respect my privacy in this difficult time...

https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/...ever-met-trump

Quote:
Before multimillionaire conspiracy theorist Alex Jones riled up Donald Trump’s fans with lies about a stolen election, he privately expressed revulsion over the 45th president, a video leaked to Hatewatch reveals.
I can't post the quote and the video is NSFW due to accurate language regarding President Clownstick.

By 2019 and later it makes sense that Jones had privately begun hating Trump. Right as Jones was being forced to have to tone down his rhetoric in response to legal woes related to the Pizzagate shooting and the Sandy Hook parents' lawsuit, Trump's popularity-cult was giving birth to QAnon, which uplifted a whole slew of new Celebrity Conspiracy Mongers who ended up displacing Jones; because he could not dive into Q with both feet, instead of being the leader and a primary source for Q material Jones was made peripheral and largely irrelevant.

I expected maybe ten times that.
What a loser. He even fails at the easiest grift around here nowadays... right wing rage.

Which might be why a few years ago he got into that feud with Glenn Beck; Beck was making vastly more money after just a couple of years peddling Crazy then Jones was making after a lifetime of peddling insanity.

Jones never got the kind of major media gigs you need to make the big bucks; he was a little too obvious a kook with all his raving;Glenn Beck and Tucker Carlson are smarter; they know the way to sucessfully peddle crazy is not to come off like a SNL parody of a conspiracy loon, which Jones often did.
