Alex Jones, staring down some NWO stooges.
You see, 666 is a doubling of 33. And 33 is pi.
—Alex Jones[1]

Alex Jones (b. 1974) is a radio personality who places almost every issue in the context of one conspiracy theory or another.

Jones claims that the Illuminati control the world. He claims that "the elite" conspirators who he says control the world "believe they're contacting inter-dimensional aliens" through use of the drug DMT, and "believe that they are being directed by them." Jones says that the entities that the world-ruling conspirators worship are called "clockwork elves" and that their ultimate goal is to be granted "eternal life" after they "kill everybody".[2]

His radio program is typified by frequent use of the Imperial March from Star Wars while he rants about the impending roundup and execution of Americans by the New World Order (NWO) in the next week or two. He has been predicting this for well over a decade now. We're still waiting.

To no surprise, he is also a fundamentalist Christian, but rarely preaches on his radio show. He has shown disdain towards atheism and other religious beliefs in the past, but doesn't seem to have a problem with Islam.

[edit] Crank magnetism

Jones is the most visible (and literally loudest) proponent of the grand Unified Conspiracy Theory wherein just about every current event can be tied into the NWO's nefarious schemes. The NWO is the framework which every new conspiracy-of-the-week can be fit into. According to Jones' broadcasts and various "documentaries," the scaffolding around which the NWO was built came about over two hundred years ago when the Rothschild banking family, the Illuminati, and the Freemasons came to power. Since then, things have snowballed into a complete worldwide conspiracy of every government and corporate entity.

Because many of the conspiracy theories he espouses are similar to those passed around in the John Birch Society and the sovereign citizen movement (like Federal Reserve, global warming, gay agenda[3], and United Nations conspiracies), he is often lumped in with the conservative talk radio milieu by some mainstream sources. This is a gross mischaracterization. Jones identifies himself as libertarian, and in practice also takes on a number of paleoconservative positions, railing against the neoconservatism and neoliberalism of the Reagan and Bush administrations just as much as the "commie-fascism" of Clinton and Obama. He also covers a number of conspiracy theories more stereotypically associated with left-wingers (remember, everything's a conspiracy), such as 9/11 conspiracies, Big Pharma conspiracies, vaccine hysteria, and Monsanto/genetically modified food conspiracies (useless eaters!), all things that put him at odds with the likes of Sean Hannity. Because of his belief that these corporations are part of the NWO as well, he promotes all sorts of alternative medicine and nature woo.[4] As an article in The New Republic put it, Jones "occup[ies] the shadowy territory where the far right curves around and meets the far left."[5]

His take on the massive tornado that leveled most of Moore, Oklahoma in May 2013 is typical; although he seems to confirm that the Federal Gummint is capable of causing (and even steering) such a storm with their "weather weapons", he stopped just short of saying that the Moore tornado was one of them.[6]

[edit] Guests

Surprisingly, Jones has managed to get a number of high-profile guests on his show (and, not so surprisingly, a lot of high-profile nutters), including:

[edit] A nonsense factory

Jones is also a prolific filmmaker of direct-to-DVD films on various conspiracy topics, all done in much the same style as his radio program and all are available on Youtube or Google Video. Most of these films involve copious amounts of pseudohistory and go deeper "down the rabbit hole" of the machinations of the NWO, because he knows the truth. As well as his own productions Jones has appeared as an interviewee in the The Fall of America and the Western World.

[edit] Gotta be Shitting me, the Lies Goes Too Far

On April 15 2013, two assailants bombed the Boston Marathon. Three people died in the explosion, generated by crudely made explosives, with over a hundred and seventy injured or mutilated. Of course almost immediately, like a Pavlov dog hearing the dinging bell, Alex Jones generated a conspiracy about it, claiming the suspects were patsies and it was done by the government, even going so far to accuse a guy itching his own ear of being a FBI agent. While it would seem for the norm for the crackpot, new information seems to have shown a different shade to this event. The elder assailant had become obsessive over conspiracies, and it seems that his delusions on the subject played a part in the bombing. Worse yet, it seems he got a large portion of his crackpot information from none other than Infowars, one of Alex's two websites. Considering few have tried to accuse of such a connection before, it seems a twisted irony the the conspiracy maniac had a hand in all of this madness. Though it would be unfair to say he was the most influential part of this event, he was far from that, his influence as a Crank Magnet may have played a part.

In addition, Jones insisted (along with equally credulous posters on 4Chan and Reddit) that missing Brown University student Sunil Tripathi had something to do with the bombings;[33] this particular bit of false information was made especially regrettable (if not outright disgusting) by the fact that Tripathi has since been found dead.[34]

[edit] Alex Jones fashion

Like David Icke, Alex Jones prefers to wear hats made out of aluminum foil on a regular basis. He does this, it is alleged, to keep (insert evil global conspiracy) from being able to read his mind. No, seriously.[citation NOT needed] Both of them are guilty of using neurolinguistic programming techniques on their audience when giving public or web cast speeches.

[edit] Not dead

It seems reasonable to expect that conspirators with the power to own governments and enslave entire nations would arrange convenient accidents for Jones and others who brazenly expose their schemes, yet the whistle-blowers tend to remain unmolested and free to continue hawking their wares. This could cause one to speculate that Jones is himself running a false flag operation in support of the Jewish lizard bankers!

Many Alex Jones sheeple/fans have argued that if the government were to kill Alex Jones, then they would make him a martyr and 'expose' themselves. At first logical, as a martyr can be very influential. Yet Alex Jones is not the Lord Jesus Christ, as he himself has also claimed that is why he is alive, meaning he operates without fear of death anyway; not exactly close to be nailed to be cross is he? Though considering how supposedly powerful and child eating the conspiracy he sells is, it seems unlikely they would not end him and make it look like an accident.

Unfortunately this means that, ultimately, whether Alex Jones falls down the stairs, eats bad sushi, gets in a car wreck or dies of fluoride poisoning, his death will be turned into a conspiracy theory.

[edit] Cameos

Director Richard Linklater likes to put Jones in Rotoscope. Jones has made cameo appearances in Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly.

[edit] Internet

When not exposing profound truths through his videos, Jones has two websites: Infowars and PrisonPlanet, which spread more denialism, conspiracy theory nonsense, etc.

[edit] Other dubious achievements

Jones is a recipient of a 2013 Pigasus Award from the James Randi Educational Foundation for his "accomplishments" in promoting political conspiracy theories and quack medical treatments.[35]
