The Official Alex Jones Thread!

It will be interesting to see how people with 'Infowars' stickers on their cars react to this. I'd like to think that some will realize they've been had, but it seems more likely that the majority will claim that Jones has sold out to the Illuminati or whatnot, and continue to believe the same paranoid crap because they can't have a worldview that doesn't revolve around them being among the few who are too smart to be fooled.

I agree, but conspiracy kooks are a long way from being the only people who get scammed largely because they think they are too smart to be scammed. Quite a few people who consider themselves to be "Skeptics" have fallen victim to a scam because they think they are too smart to fall for a con.
In the end scams depend on appealing to emotions,,although they might well make a show of "facts" in selling the con. And skeptics have emotions as much as anybody else,and are therefore vulnerable to the right buttons being pushed.
I call it the "Mr.Spock" syndrome;people think they are too rational a la Mr.Spock to fall of a scam. They are setting themselves up ,of course to get conned.

I'm not sure that's accurate. He's admitted Pizzagate was BS, but, as far as I know, he still claims all the other CTs he shouts about are true.

I'll wait til the dust settles. I don't see how you can say what he is now denying without seeing his child custody papers.

Sorry to sound nitpicky, but you are now speculating ahead of the facts. Unless he has already said, for the record, that he knows all the CTs he broadcasts about are fake, you cannot say that he has admitted he knows they are fake. It is entirely possible that this admission may come to light in the future, but, as of right now, we just don't know that.

I'm not speculating anything. I've not drawn a conclusion except that the guy is scum either way.

Trevor Noah picks this up and wonders if Jones's fan Trump may be a performance artist, too:

Thank you, I was about to post that... cc.com is not re-streaming for me, wanted to see 18th show; worked yesterday, not today. Maybe Trump is hacking cc.com, and forgot about youtube. Most likely not working for me.

That's not what you said. This is what you said:

Not just a performance artist, Jones admits the CTs he spouts are all fake.

Jones has not admitted that, you just said he did without any evidence. When I pointed that out, you said this:

In other words, you are unwilling to admit that you made a mistake, and are speculating that evidence that backs up your assertion will be forthcoming in the future.
That doesn't work for Paul Bethke, and neither will it work for you.

You seem intent on inflating a nit-pick into a fully-fledged argument, and I really don't see the need for that. You made a mistake: everyone does, so just acknowledge it and move on.

Of course, how can you peddle government conspiracies when the president is a fan and you support him? It gets a bit more difficult.

From the little I heard, it didn't even break Jones' stride. He went right in on the Deep State getting to Trump.

His defense in his custody proceedings is all that stuff is just "performance art", and he should not be judged by it, anymore than Jack Nicholson should be judged by his role as The Joker in the movie "Batman".

That's not exactly an endorsement of his claims.

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

The kids might now grow up sane with at least some good DNA, not from Jones of course.
