INFOWARS: The Alex Jones Attention Whore Syndrome



Dating back as far as March of 2001, Infowars pimped a variety of conspiracy propaganda:


United Nations Urban Warfare Martial Law Biometrics Government Terrorism Big Brother Drugging Our Children United States:  A Nation in Distress

Note the Rush Limbagh fan club and Waco wackos.   After the 9/11 attacks things didn't improve:

To get an understanding of Alex Jones exploitive conspiracy bullshit, readers should look at the related website, Infowars.com, that goes back to 1999 and a little thing called Y2K :

Jones invites people to see the Matrix(but don't take the kids??) along with his other conspiracywank:


 The Y2K archives, conspircuously absent on the current website, can bee seen here:

What's important about this page, and the fact it's been removed from the current website, is it's proof that Alex Jones exploits topical events and tradgey for his "see I told you so things are bad" schtick; when history has obviously prooved him wrong, or that Jones exagerated facts irresponsibly--POOF!  Down the memory hole and his new crop of followers will never know.

Jones was doing this "the end is nigh" act for at least two years before the 9/11 attacks.  It's important to note, when Jones makes claims he predicted the attacks, as of June 2001, there was NOTHING remotely like a prediction on his website:

http://web.archive.org/web/20010629053814/http://www.infowars.com/

Infowars  links show a pre-9/11 networking with  many far right extremist groups:

Alex Jones is a disaster con artist, selling fear to make a few quick bucks. 

He claims not to be a righty loon:
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Jones_%28radio_host%29


Alexander Emerick "Alex" Jones (born February 11, 1974) is an American radio host, author, and documentary filmmaker.[1] His syndicated news/talk show The Alex Jones Show, based in Austin, Texas, airs via the Genesis Communication Network on over 70 AM, FM, and shortwave radio stations across the United States[2] and on the Internet. His websites include Infowars.com and PrisonPlanet.com.[3][4] As of January 2012, his Youtube channel, InfoWars, garnered over 250 million views.
Mainstream sources have described Jones as a conservative,[5][6][7][8] a right-wing, conspiracy theorist,[9][10][11][12] and a libertarian.[13] Jones see himself as a libertarian and rejects being described as a right-winger.[14] He has also called himself a paleoconservative[15] and an "aggressive constitutionalist".[16][17] Jones has been the center of many controversies, such as the one surrounding his actions and statements about gun control after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting,[18] and has accused the US government of being involved in the Oklahoma City bombing[19] and September 11 attacks.[20]


but Jones network links and connection to American Patriot Friends Network says otherwise.

Not only a pro gun nut and militia sympathiser, Jones is  a close associate of Lyndon Larouche, leaders of the Larouche cult:
http://www.infowars.com/nuclear-armageddon-if-wwiii-starts-lyndon-larouche-reports/


Infowarriors must be bailing fast if the best Alex Jones can do is rustle up an octogenerian cult leader to back him up. 

Proving Jones is a hack with an agenda(hint:$$$$$), anyone familiar with Larouche could tell him these "warnings" are something secretly Larouche wishes for.    In Dennis King's the "New American Fascm"  he details how Larouche harbors perverse fantasies of a nuclear disater, all the better to make his "paradise" on earth from the survovors.  Who he will rule over, of course.[citatiion needed]

Alex Jones will work with anybody: guilble kids with dreams of conspiracy fame :
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Bermas

 or ex cult leaders who know where "the bodies are buried",
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webster_Tarpley

but aren't telling:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah_Duggan

At least it pays the bills.
