PrisonPlanet is a "news" website operated by Alex Jones, a radio presenter and heroic source of truth to people who can't fart without blaming it on a conspiracy amongst bean producers. The site takes an almost overwhelmingly negative stance towards all recent presidents and regards government and corporations with a suspicious and twitching eye. The bulk of the site is made up of conspiracy related stories and advertisements hawking the kinds of products valued by keen conspiracy theorists.

Overview and speculation
Alex Jones relies on the paranoia of a dystopian future, and promotes it through PrisonPlanet's blog, his radio show and his online store. The blog features articles that instil fear of vaccination[1], promote conspiracy theories (see list below) and support alternative medicine[2][3], because the big bad drug companies want your money and to keep you addicted. Very little of this is actually based in reality, and in most cases, small statements of truth are projected into full-blown paranoia.
Online store
Alex Jones can't just give you his theories. He needs lots of money to impart his nuggets of wisdom to you. There are two ways to acquire his poorly-researched, unrealistic and paranoid delusions: burned DVDs or streamed online. The Infowars Shop[4] sells his DVDs for just $20 each! And if you want your friends to know just how much more aware you are than them, you can buy T-shirts, bumper stickers and other knick-knacks. He also sells books which, in a normal bookstore would be catalogued under fiction.
The second option requires a subscription to prisonplanet.tv for $5.95 per month, or $54.95 per year. What a deal!
The website has an Alexa ranking in the 5,000s[5], meaning it is a reasonably popular site. Combining ad revenue with income from the store and subscription fees, it is likely that Alex Jones is quite well off. Ironically, many of his theories talk about how the wealthy elite are conspiring against society.
Conspiracy theories promoted by PrisonPlanet
- The lists many more which would also probably be promoted by Alex Jones. This is a partial list.
- The Bilderberg Group is controlling governments around the world[6]
- A New World Order is set to kill
20%40%70%almost everyone[7] - Various secret societies, including Skull and Bones[8], Freemasons[9] and others are behind contemporary politics, governance, society and economics
- The devastating December 26 tsunami in south-east Asia was manmade[10]. Seriously. There isn't a RW link because there isn't an article about that – it would be a waste of bandwidth
- Hurricane Katrina was an opportunity to test out the FEMA concentration camps[11]
- If they believe a big-ass ocean event wasn't made by an undersea earthquake but by humans, you bet they believe 9/11 was an inside job[12] (oh, and so were the London bombings[13])
- Hunter S. Thompson[14], Gary Webb[15] and Princess Diana[16] were all murdered to cover up what they knew about the New World Order, or whatever
Advertisements
Advertising tends to be targeted, in the sense that adverts attract more responses if they're relevant to the people reading them. For example, water purification systems and handguns are not typically advertised on websites aimed at young girls, but the same adverts would be far more successful if aimed at paranoid survivalists huddling in caves waiting for FEMA to come and steal their precious bodily fluids.
On Thursday August 26, 2010, the following adverts appeared on the front page of Prison Planet:
- According to the above site, a former political insider has discovered a that "globalists" have a "vicious new plan to institute martial law". Worry not though! For just $49.95 (plus $9.95) shipping, you can prepare for the inevitable institution of martial law in the U.S. by purchasing their manual. Wait, that's not all! Buy now and receive a free copy of CAMP FEMA - American Lockdown.
- A series of videos in which viewers can learn about the FEMA plans to turn the U.S. in to a police state, Obama's various and nefarious plans, 9/11 conspiracies, survivalism tips (water purification and use of short wave radio equipment), and of course the inevitable coverage of secret societies and their role in the new world order.
- The Fall of America and the Western World is a general guide to surviving the inevitable Armageddon that will ensue as a mixture of financial destruction and government tyranny brings freedom to an end. It must be correct, it has David Icke in it.
- This style of martial arts is so dangerous that they require a disclaimer to protect them should any of their students use their skills for illegal purposes. Although most self defense systems tend to focus on defense and incapacitation of attackers, this system seems to advocate the killing of every single attacker a practitioner should encounter. The following quote from the website leaves little room for doubt (our emphasis):
- "Get Lethal with the Self Defense Training System and let every attacker know HE made a fatal mistake when he stupidly picked you. We call it “Attackers Remorse” and it’s the last thing he feels before you obliterate him from existence. "
- A millionaire wants to give away free guns, training, and concealed weapons permits to Prison Planet readers so they can be ready to protect America from enemies, both foreign and domestic. Well, Michael Savage supports the scheme so what could possibly go wrong?[17]
- The items on sale include the "Cold Steel" Recon Tanto Knife, pepper spray, camouflage gear, gas masks, stun guns, military "ready to eat" meals, and everything a survivalist could need; with the exception of psychiatric care.
- A blend of herbs that'll provide a strong healthy heart, balanced cholesterol levels, improved hearing and vision, healthy erectile function in men, restful sleep, warm hands and feet, and many more things. It's a fairly standard mixture of easily found items, but their FAQ warns that "The proportion, balance and quality of herbs is crucial", so you'd better buy their version instead of just picking up the constituent ingredients yourself. Curiously, they have a page named clinical studies, yet there are no studies listed. All they have is a collection of pictures of doctors of naturopathy. Note to the manufacturers. Taking photos of "doctors" is not a clinical study.
- A company offering devices for the manufacture of colloidal silver and a system for delivering it through inhalation.
- How is it that many illnesses in animals have been cured while similar ailments in humans have not? Well, obviously it's a conspiracy to shorten human lives, or perhaps farm animals are the true masterminds behind the new world order? They're not entirely clear on this matter, but it is explained in the DVD set they're selling. As well as this there's vaccine hysteria - including a conspiracy by vets using vaccines to make pets sick to generate more revenue for themselves, the alkaline diet, and pretty much every other health fad that's popular in the community that won't believe trained professionals but will happily believe and purchase products from some random guy on the Internet who calls himself "doctor" and takes the time to make a visually appalling website.
- Of course all good survivalists want to ensure they are well invested come the inevitable collapse of paper money and civilization as a whole. Paper money will be of little use when we're all hiding in caves, engaged in guerilla war against the government, NATO and UN invasion forces. Gold on the other hand will be very useful because… well, it's not really clear how it's useful or even practical to carry heavy gold coins while running from FEMA death squads and their robotic hounds.
- Fluoridated water is just an elaborate government plot to control your mind. Not only does it help prevent tooth decay, it dicks with the upper part of your head too. You could buy a really inexpensive water filtration device to add to your mains, but Pure Water Freedom would really like to sell you one for over $3,000[18]. Heck, they can sell you the replacement filters too!
Alex Jones is actually a distraction created by the New World Order
There is at least one website[19] that alleges Alex Jones is simply a pawn created by the NWO to distract us from the truth. No kidding! It's like a Tarantino film in real life!
