Any time anything interesting happens anywhere on Earth, there's a 100% chance Jones has found [[PIDOOMA|"proof"]] that it is either (1) a [[false flag|false flag operation]] by the [[New World Order]] or (2) a "massive [[coverup]] operation" run by the New World Order. No exceptions. Seriously, the guy can't stub his toe without blaming a shadowy cabal of furniture manufacturers. You would think the New World Order would've eliminated this widely-known bearer of all their secrets, but nope. For some reason they see fit to let him continue. He has also hosted [[Steven Anderson]] (back when no one had even heard of the loser) and previously peddled his 
comedy films
 "documentaries" at the {{sl|Infowars}} store.

Like all good showmen, you must understand his early work to truly appreciate his art. Jones got his start in 1995 on Access TV in [[Texas|Austin]], and first tasted the limelight with [[Y2K]]. And he was ready: grunting about the [[Goldbuggery|end of money]], reporting on millions of deaths worldwide, and [[Shill|shilling]] for his [[Survivalism|survivalist]] shop called "The Hardware Store", with [[guns]], ammo, {{wpl|Meal, Ready-to-Eat|MREs|,}} and eight-stage water filtration systems.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170706192008/http://illuminutti.com/alex-jones/alex-jones-y2k/ Alex Jones Y2K: Party Like It's A Nuclear War!] by Mason L.

And then [[school shooting]]s, and then [[COVID]], and then [[Biden]], and then... ugh. He just wouldn't go away.

In addition to being morally and intellectually bankrupt, Jones is also ''literally'' bankrupt.<ref>[https://apnews.com/article/alex-jones-infowars-bankruptcy-sandy-hook-shooting-9052caad16dcdfd3bff0697454394d9f Judge to approve auctions liquidating Alex Jones’ Infowars to help pay Sandy Hook families].

Collins, Dave. 14 Nov 2024. ''AP News''</ref>

In short: Jones has been predicting the end of the world for ''{{#expr:{{#time:Y}} - 1995}} years''. And it gets worse from there. [[Goat]] help us all.

He adheres to the notion that the NWO will be ruled by the [[antichrist]], who will eventually be defeated by [[Jesus]] after the events of the [[Book of Revelation]] have taken place.

Frankly, a real NWO transporting him from lunatic asylum to radio show in order to cast doubt on conspiracy theories doesn't seem so crazy. Indeed, some fellow conspiracy theorists believe this to be the case.<ref>[http://www.alexjonesmachine.com/round2.htm The Alex Jones Machine] by Lorie Kramer (July 12, 2009).</ref>

For comic relief, Jones' rants about the NWO are interspersed with rants against his ideological kindred, who, by their own account, have organized to fight the NWO: the [[Islamic]] [[jihad]]is.

===Why isn't Jones dead?===
{{main|Shill}}
Conspirators in control of governments and slavers of entire nations could easily arrange convenient "accidents" for Jones (and others who brazenly expose their schemes).<ref name=Scanner>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN_VBc98dzg Scene from ''A Scanner Darkly''] (May 2, 2011) ''YouTube'' ([https://web.archive.org/web/20161201021849/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN_VBc98dzg archived copy]).</ref> Yet, the, um, "[[whistleblower]]s" tend to remain free to continue hawking their wares. This could cause one to speculate that Jones himself is running a [[false flag operation]] in support of the [[International Jewish Conspiracy|Jewish lizard bankers]]!

Many of Alex Jones' [[Sheeple|fans]] have argued that if the government were to kill Jones, they would make him a [[martyr]] and "expose" themselves. This seems pretty ''damn'' odd, given how many people Jones thinks the NWO has already killed. ''They're already exposed.'' And considering how remorselessly [[Cannibalism|child-eating]] these conspirators are, it seems unlikely they could not kill him and make it look like an accident. Unfortunately, this means that, ultimately, should Jones die from anything other than old age (and potentially even if that), his death will be turned into a conspiracy theory. Alternatively, assuming the NWO does exist, the only other plausible reason he is still alive is because he is actually on their payroll, because nothing discredits a conspiracy theory more profoundly than its promotion by a [[paranoid]] pantopragmatic.

To support Robertson's claim that Jones is motivated less by genuine beliefs and more by a desire to exploit his [[alt-right]], [[Donald Trump|Trump]] worshiping audience, Robertson also leaked video, taken on January 2019, of Jones ranting on how he wished he never met [[Donald Trump]] and [[Roger Stone]] and that he was sick of "kissing (Trump's) fucking ass".<ref name="joneshatestrump"/>

==Political stance==
[[File:Trump on Infowars 2015.jpg|thumb|right|375px|[[Donald Trump]] appears on Infowars, December 2015.]]
{{cquote|I ain't no [[Prostitution|ho]]! I ain't no ho! I ain't no ho!

Notoriously hard to place ideologically (although clearly located to the right on most topics), Jones' views amount to some kind of [[Crank magnet|high-powered mutant hybrid]] of [[libertarianism]]/​[[paleoconservatism]]/​[[evangelicalism]]/​[[Neoreactionary movement|neoreaction]]/​[[David Icke|miscellaneous]]. Because many conspiracy theories he espouses are similar to those passed around on the radical right, he is often lumped in with the [[conservative talk radio]] milieu by mainstream sources. This is something of a mischaracterization, as Jones has no discernible political stance aside from all-consuming paranoid rage. He claims the Illuminati controls the world and the "elite" conspirators he says control the world believe they're "contacting interdimensional [[Extraterrestrial|aliens]]" through use of the hallucinogenic drug {{wpl|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".<ref>[http://archive.org/details/GlobalistElite-GuidanceByMachineElvesContactedThorughDmt Globalist Elite — Guidance by Machine Elves Contacted Through DMT] ''Alex Jones Radio Show'' (archived copy from May 14, 2012).</ref>

Jones identifies himself as [[libertarian]], and occasionally, he says something in line with general libertarian principles. In practice, however, his brand usually leans towards [[paleolibertarianism]], especially in his appeals to the [[traditional values]] he feels to be under attack by "[[globalist]]s". According to the [[Anti-Defamation League]], as of 2017, Jones "is not demonstrably [[Antisemitism|anti-Semitic]], but frequently expresses his distaste for "globalists", which some consider a [[Dog whistle politics|dogwhistle]] term for "[[Jewish]]"."<ref>[https://www.adl.org/education/resources/backgrounders/alex-jones-five-things-to-know Alex Jones: Five Things to Know] ''Anti-Defamation League''.</ref> However, Jones was subsequently sued by two former employees for violating the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for creating a "disgusting, hostile environment" in the workplace. One of the lawsuits alleged that anti-Semitic remarks were allowed to be directed at a Jewish employee.<ref name=vongkiatkajorn>[https://www.motherjones.com/media/2018/02/alex-jones-is-accused-of-discrimination-and-sexual-harassment-by-former-infowars-employees/ Alex Jones Is Accused of Discrimination and Sexual Harassment by Former InfoWars Employees: One staffer says he was dubbed "The Resident Jew," another claims she was groped.] by Kanyakrit Vongkiatkajorn (Feb. 28, 2018 8:13 PM) ''Mother Jones''.</ref> In the other suit, Jones was accused of making unwanted sexual advances against another employee, who happens to be an [[African American|African-American]] woman.<ref name=vongkiatkajorn/>

Jones has far more in common, ideologically and stylistically, with the [[John Birch Society]] (JBS), the [[Constitution Party]], and the [[sovereign citizen]] movement than with [[Fox News]], railing against the [[neoconservatism]] and [[neoliberalism]] of the [[Reagan]] and Bush administrations ([[George W. Bush|lesser]] and [[George H. W. Bush|greater]] alike) just as much as the "[[Communism|commie]]-[[fascism]]" of [[Bill Clinton]] and [[Barack Obama]], and proclaiming the entire political mainstream to be in service to the NWO (except, apparently, when Trump is being discussed). Jones was in fact inspired as a teenager by a book on his father's bookshelf by JBS [[PR]] director Garry Allen, ''None Dare Call It Conspiracy''.<ref>[https://www.yahoo.com/news/public-access-broadcaster-austin-texas-155300054.html How a public-access broadcaster from Austin, Texas, became a major conspiracy theorist and one of Trump's most vocal supporters] by Eliza Relman (June 19, 2017) ''Business Insider'' via ''Yahoo!News''.</ref><ref>''None Dare Call It Conspiracy'' by Garry Allen (1971) Concord Press.</ref><ref>''Birchers: How the John Birch Society Radicalized the American Right'' by Matthew Dallek (2023) Basic Books.

According to Jones, both [[Hillary Clinton]] and Obama are actual demons smelling of sulfur.<ref name=Sulfur>[https://web.archive.org/web/20161014125518/http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2016/10/11/alex-jones-hillary-clinton-obama-demon-sulfur Alex Jones: Hillary Clinton Is a Literal Demon Who Smells Like Sulfur (People Around Her Said So)] by Robyn Pennacchia (October 11, 2016) ''Patheos''.</ref> Obama responded with what was effectively an endorsement of the [[RationalWiki]] mission statement, stating, "We live in a country where flaming [[Wingnut|nutjobs]] have massive audiences.

Jones also has some (but certainly not a huge) amount of [[Horseshoe Theory|following on the]] [[Moonbat|far-left]]. This was especially true during the [[W|Bush-the-lesser]] administration, where he interviewed figures such as [[Noam Chomsky]] and [[Dennis Kucinich]], in addition to the usual who's who of far-right ideologues. This following is likely because in addition to [[Federal Reserve]], [[global warming]], [[gay agenda]],<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170223072015/http://www.infowars.com/enough-of-gay-tyranny/ Enough of Gay Tyranny] by bzerbel (December 26, 2013) ''InfoWars'' (archived from February 23, 2017).</ref> [[end times]] [[prophecy]], and [[United Nations]] conspiracies, he also covers a number of conspiracy theories more stereotypically associated with left-wingers (remember, ''everything'' is a conspiracy to this man), such as [[9/11 conspiracy theories|9/11 trutherism]], [[Big Pharma]], [[vaccine denialism]], and [[Monsanto]]/[[genetically modified food]] conspiracies ([[useless eaters]]!), all things that put him at odds with many on the right. Because of his belief that these corporations are part of the NWO as well, he promotes all sorts of [[alternative medicine]] and [[nature woo]].{{efn|Consider his complete agreement with [[Mike Adams]] on the Angelina Jolie breast cancer gene "hoax", for example.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20131101135405/http://www.infowars.com/angelina-jolie-inspires-women-to-maim-themselves-by-celebrating-medically-perverted-double-mastectomies/ Angelina Jolie inspires women to maim themselves by celebrating perverted double mastectomies] by Mike Adams, via ''Natural News'' (May 15, 2013) '"InfoWars'' (archived from November 1, 2013).</ref>}} As an article in ''The New Republic'' put it, Jones "occup[ies] the shadowy territory where the [[horseshoe theory|far-right curves around and meets the far-left]]."<ref>[http://www.newrepublic.com/article/politics/truther-consequences Truther Consequences: Meet the next Glenn Beck] by Michelle Goldberg (October 6, 2009) ''The New Republic''.</ref> It may be that he appeals more to people who possess or are susceptible to [[crank magnetism]] rather than to people of a particular political ideology.

===DVDs===
Jones is also a prolific filmmaker of the -to-DVD films on various conspiracy topics, all of which are done in much the same style as his radio program and were 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 Fall of America and the Western World]]''.

Two of the supplements Jones was hawking, "[[Paleo diet|Caveman Paleo Formula]]," and "Myco-ZX Supplements," were found to have dangerous levels of [[lead]] in their contents.<ref name="cavemanlead">{{cite web|url=https://www.newsweek.com/alex-jones-infowars-supplements-tainted-lead-687019|title=
Is Alex Jones Peddling Lead-Tainted, Sperm-Killing Products? Toxic Heavy Metal Found in Two Infowars Supplements|last=Nazaryan|first=Alexander|date=October 17, 2017|publisher=Newsweek}}</ref>

To quote the Center for Environmental Health:

{{quotebox|1=The chemical was found in the Infowars Caveman Paleo Formula and the Info Wars Myco-ZX supplements. People who take the daily recommended dose of the Formula product would ingest more than twice the daily limit for lead under California law.

Caveman Paleo Formula is a "bone-broth drink mix" that is peddled by Jones as something that "harnesses the power of ancient supernutrients with cutting edge nutraceutical science." Likewise, the Myco-ZX supplement is described as "an all-natural blend of potent herbs and enzymes that support the body's healthy [[detoxification]] of yeast and undesirable fungal organisms."<ref name="cavemanlead"/>

Lead poisoning can lead to "sperm damage and heart attacks," as the CEO of CEH puts it. This is contrary to the claims spouted by Jones that these products lead to enhanced health and male virality.<ref name="cavemanlead"/>

===PrisonPlanet===
[[File:Prison Planet Logo.jpg|thumb|right|PrisonPlanet consists of the purest, locally-grown, truth-free [[bullshit]].]]
'''PrisonPlanet''' is another fake news webshite operated by Jones, which takes an almost overwhelmingly negative stance towards all recent presidents (except Trump) and regards all government and corporations (except Trump's) with a suspicious and twitching [[eye]]. While the latter is not necessarily a bad thing in itself, PrisonPlanet goes beyond healthy [[skepticism]] to a mind-boggling extreme; you'll soon find that PrisonPlanet takes ''everything'' to mind-boggling extremes. The bulk of the site is made up of conspiracy-related stories and advertisements hawking the kinds of products valued by keen conspiracy theorists.

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 instill fear of [[Vaccine_hysteria|vaccination]],<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20080809124439/http://www.prisonplanet.com/archives/vaccines/index.htm Vaccines: The Deadly "Cure"] ''PrisonPlanet'' (archived copy from August 9, 2008).</ref> promote conspiracy theories (see list below), and support alternative medicine,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100805104631/http://www.prisonplanet.com/dumbing-down-society-how-to-reverse-its-effects.html Dumbing Down Society: How to Reverse its Effects]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090717035756/http://www.prisonplanet.com/how-to-detox-fluorides-from-your-body.html How to Detox Fluorides From Your Body] by The Vigilent Citizen (Aug 2, 2010) ''PrisonPlanet''.</ref> because the [[Big Pharma|big bad drug companies]] want your money and to keep you addicted. Unlike before, the site does not push [[white genocide]] conspiracy theories (sans once<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20180821070741/https://www.prisonplanet.com/rush-limbaugh-somebody-needs-to-tell-me-why-its-wrong-for-white-people-to-vote-their-interests.html Rush Limbaugh: 'Somebody Needs to Tell Me Why It’s Wrong for White People to Vote Their Interests'] by Chris Menahan (November 10, 2016) ''PrisonPlanet''.</ref>), but the forums are rife with it.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170321034051/https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aprisonplanet.com+%22white+genocide%22&pws=0 site:forum.prisonplanet.com "white genocide"] Google search</ref> Very little of this is actually based in [[reality]], and in most cases, small statements of [[truth]] are projected into full-blown paranoia.

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. He also sells books which, in a normal bookstore, would be catalogued under fiction. The second option requires a subscription to [http://prisonplanet.tv prisonplanet.tv] for $5.95 per month or $54.95 per year. What a deal!

The website had an Alexa ranking in the 5000s, meaning it was a reasonably popular site. (Now, it's tanked to about 30,000 to 40,000, circa 2016-2017).<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20160420151153/http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/prisonplanet.com Prisonplanet.com Site Info (archived April 20, 2016).]</ref> 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 would be far more successful if aimed at paranoid survivalists huddling in caves waiting for FEMA to come and steal their [[Dr. Strangelove|precious bodily fluids]].

====Typical advertisements====

===''A Scanner Darkly''===
For some reason, the people behind ''A Scanner Darkly'' — that weird cartoon/real life [[science fiction]] flick from 2006 — decided to cast Alex Jones in one scene<ref name=Scanner/> — this is due to the fact that at that time Jones was friends with the film's director/writer Richard Linklater, and also at the time of filming Jones was neither as well known nor as virulent.<ref>[https://www.indiewire.com/2018/08/richard-linklater-alex-jones-waking-life-infowars-1201993393/ Richard Linklater on Casting Alex Jones in ‘Waking Life’: ‘I Just Thought He Was Kind of Funny’: 17 years later, he thinks it's "insane" that the InfoWars host is taken seriously.] by  Michael Nordine (Aug 12, 2018 2:02 pm) ''IndieWire''.</ref> It's one of his only roles in a non-Alex Jones production, but he still just plays the same ol' lunatic.

The '''Alex Avalanche''' is a particular [[Debate|debating]] style common to Jones; in fact, it's the only [[rhetorical]] technique that he ever employs. The Avalanche is similar to the [[Gish Gallop]], wherein the interviewee completely dominates the discussion, not allowing the interviewer, or any other panel members, an opportunity to interject and add their own thoughts or opinions. The Alex Avalanche is the Gish Gallop on [[Methamphetamine|meth]], as it involves screaming, wild gesticulations, crying, loud grunting, flop sweat and generally throwing a tantrum befitting Jones' overdeveloped-baby-like appearance.

The phrase was coined following Jones' antics during his appearance on the [[BBC]]'s ''Sunday Politics'', where he ranted non-stop about the [[Bilderberg Group]] and how they were behind the implementation of the [[Euro]], which was somehow originally a [[Godwin's Law|Nazi plot]].<ref name=topping/><ref name=webster/><ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgBq6q4x8Fw Alex Jones blasts at the BBC One Sunday Politics] by MehdiZejnulahu (Jun 9, 2013) ''YouTube'' ([https://web.archive.org/web/20130710022337/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgBq6q4x8Fw archived copy]).</ref> Meanwhile, on Alex Jones' Facebook page, his supporters [[persecution complex|complained about his poor treatment on the show]] and that he wasn't given time to "explain himself", [[willful ignorance|apparently blind]] to the fact that the man was given ample time because he didn't shut up for five minutes.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150413132555/https://www.facebook.com/AlexanderEmerickJones/posts/10151618568653459 Alex Jones — "Paul Joseph Watson just confronted Bilderberg member Ed Balls at the BBC.

==A well deserved ban==

}}

In 2019, Facebook banned Jones, Paul Joseph Watson, Infowars and four other individuals ([[Louis Farrakhan]], [[Paul Nehlen]], [[Milo Yiannopoulos]] and [[Laura Loomer]]) as "dangerous individuals and organizations".<ref>[https://www.npr.org/2019/05/03/719897599/facebook-bans-alex-jones-louis-farrakhan-and-other-dangerous-individuals Facebook Bans Alex Jones, Louis Farrakhan And Other 'Dangerous' Individuals] by Matthew S.

On March 10<sup>th</sup>, 2020, Jones was arrested for drinking and driving, under the influence of sake after leaving a Japanese restaurant. He was released on $3,000 bail the next day. Jones claims on the Infowars site that he was only drinking a little bit (although he had a blood alcohol level of 0.079, 0.001 alcohol points away from the limit); drivers in Texas can be charged with DWI even if they are under the limit and if their driving is impaired.<ref>[https://nypost.com/2020/03/10/conspiracy-theorist-alex-jones-arrested-on-drunk-driving-charge/ Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones arrested on drunk driving charge] by Tamar Lapin (March 10, 2020 | 6:06pm) ''The New York Post''.</ref>

In a sign of Jones' increasingly desperate attention-seeking, and a clear vote of no-confidence in the emergency food supplies that Jones sells in his Infowars store, during the [[2019-20 COVID-19 outbreak|COVID-19 pandemics]] on May 1st, 2020, Alex Jones fantasized an apocalypse from this virus where food supplies would dry up to the point where he would "literally (look) at my neighbors now going ‘am I ready to hang them up and gut them and skin them and chop them up?' and you know what, I’m ready...

===Sandy Hook defamation lawsuits===

On September 27th, 2021, Jones lost two lawsuits brought by family members of two victims of the Sandy Hook mass shooting by default. According to the ruling, Jones refused to provide necessary documentation for the case and refused to answer numerous questions during a sworn deposition. The ruling cited Jones' "flagrant [[bad faith]] and callous disregard for the responsibilities of discovery under the rules" and Jones' "general bad faith approach to litigation" as further justification for the relatively rare default judgment (a judgement reserved for defendants who act in extreme bad faith).<ref>[https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/alex-jones-default-judgment-sandy-hook-lawsuits-1235401/ "Alex Jones Lost Two More Sandy Hook Lawsuits"] by Peter Wade, Rolling Stone, 2021 September 30</ref><ref>[https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/01/us/alex-jones-loses-sandy-hook-cases/index.html "Infowars host Alex Jones is responsible for damages triggered by his false claims on the Sandy Hook shooting, judge rules"] by Aya Elamroussi, CNN, 2021 October 1</ref> In April 2022, InfoWars filed for bankruptcy over mounting pressure from the litigation that ensued over defamation and emotional distress caused by Jones and his cohorts' canards regarding the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.<ref>Hernandez, Joe.

Plaintiffs in the defamation suits against Jones have accused Jones of hiding assets to avoid making the inevitable payouts.<ref>[https://apnews.com/article/business-alex-jones-austin-texas-lawsuits-00b6df5205d733e31bfc1e4377edcd26 "Alex Jones accused of hiding assets over Sandy Hook lawsuits"] by The Associated Press, April 8 2022.</ref><ref>[https://abovethelaw.com/2022/04/alex-jones-hiding-assets-no-that-cant-be-right/ "Alex Jones Hiding Assets?

In August 2022, a Texas jury ordered Jones to pay $49.3 million to the parents of a child killed in the Sandy Hook massacre for the suffering caused by Jones' defamation.<ref>[https://apnews.com/article/shootings-austin-texas-violence-e067a8bc031ce48be0810764c7bb3c18 "Alex Jones ordered to pay $45.2M more over Sandy Hook lies"] by Jim Vertuno, 2022 August 5</ref> In October 2022, a Connecticut jury ordered Jones to pay $965 million, plus $473 million in punitive damages, an amount of which his entire net worth amounts to a mere fraction, in compensatory damage to relatives of 20 children and six staff members who were killed at Sandy Hook, also for the suffering caused by Jones' defamation.<ref>[https://www.reuters.com/legal/jury-begins-third-day-deliberations-alex-jones-sandy-hook-defamation-trial-2022-10-12/ "Alex Jones must pay Sandy Hook families nearly $1 billion for hoax claims, jury says"] by Jack Queen, Reuters, 2022 October 12</ref><ref>[https://www.axios.com/2022/10/12/alex-jones-sandy-hook-defamation-trial "Jury orders Alex Jones to pay nearly $1 billion in Sandy Hook defamation trial"] by Jacob Knutson, Axios, 2022 October 12</ref><ref>[https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63592386 "Alex Jones to pay extra $473m damages over 'fake Sandy Hook' claim"], BBC News, 2022 November 10</ref> During the trials, it was revealed how Jones' lies fueled the minds of angry [[trolls]] and [[conspiracy theorists]], who then proceeded to abused the victims' relatives online, to the point of death threats, rape threats, urinating on a child victim's grave, and other forms of harassment.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/29/us/politics/alex-jones-sandy-hook-parker.html "Sandy Hook Parents Tie Years of Threats and Vitriol to Alex Jones"] by Elizabeth Williamson, New York Times, 2022 September 29</ref><ref name="apdef">[https://apnews.com/article/shootings-school-connecticut-conspiracy-alex-jones-3f579380515fdd6eb59f5bf0e3e1c08f "Alex Jones ordered to pay $965 million to Sandy Hook families"] by Dave Collins, AP News, 2022 October 12</ref> Although Jones actually acknowledged that the Sandy Hook shooting was real, in all other respects he stuck to his usual obnoxious defiant [[asshole]] personality, calling the proceedings a [[kangaroo court]], mocking the judge, and wailing that the trials were all just conspiracies.<ref name="apdef"/>

In December 2022, a judge removed his bankruptcy protections, and on February 2024, the families of the victims voted to liquidate Jones' estate. Fear ye the unlubed dildo of consequences.

On June 7 2024, facing mounting legal pressure, Jones converted his personal bankruptcy, which was then structured as a {{wpl|Chapter 11, Title 11, United States Code|chapter 11}} bankruptcy (a bankruptcy type that protects assets while reorganization attempts are made), into a {{wpl|Chapter 7, Title 11, United States Code|chapter 7}} bankruptcy. This set the stage for a court-appointed trustee to start liquidating Jones' personal assets — including his personal stake in Infowars — to pay off the defamation lawsuits.<ref>[https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/06/media/alex-jones-assets-sandy-hook/index.html "Alex Jones agrees to liquidate his assets to pay Sandy Hook families, in move that would end his ownership of Infowars"] by Oliver Darcy, CNN, 2024 June 6</ref>

===2021 Capitol riot===
In early 2021, it emerged, to absolutely no one's surprise, that Jones helped fund and organise the January 6 "Stop the Steal" rally that ultimately ended up fueling [[2021 U.S. Capitol riot|an attempted coup]], a fantastically fanatically fucking fascistic event.<ref>[https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/after-jan-6-investigating-the-contours-of-a-broad-fascist-movement-in-the-u-s/ After Jan. 6, Investigating the Contours of a “Broad Fascist Movement” in the U.S.] by Patrice Taddonio (April 14, 2021) ''PBS, Frontline''.</ref><ref>[https://www.wsj.com/articles/jan-6-rally-funded-by-top-trump-donor-helped-by-alex-jones-organizers-say-11612012063 "Jan. 6 Rally Funded by Top Trump Donor, Helped by Alex Jones, Organizers Say"] by Shalini Ramachandran, Alexandra Berzon, and Rebecca Ballhaus, Wall Street Journal, 2021 February 1</ref><ref>[https://www.statesman.com/story/news/2021/01/09/alex-jones-claims-he-paid-rally-preceded-capitol-riot/6608721002/ "Alex Jones claims he paid for rally that preceded Capitol riot] by Kara Carlson, Austin American-Statesman, 2021 Jan 9</ref> For all his delusional claims about shadowy cabals of elites trying to organise mass violence or dictatorships, [[Irony|he helped to incite a real one]].<ref>[https://www.vice.com/en/article/jgqyvg/facebook-helped-alex-jones-share-prepare-for-war-posts-before-the-capitol-riots "Alex Jones Incited the Capitol Riot on Facebook Even Though He Was Banned 2 Years Ago"] by David Gilbert, Vice News, 2021 April 1</ref> The hypocrisy and lack of self-awareness is astounding.

==Good takes==
Despite his insane widespread and popular conspiracism and the massive harm he's done to political discourse, there are a few [[Stopped clock|moments of sanity]] Alex has had.

One instance was him lightly condemning [[Nick Fuentes]] and [[Kanye West]]'s love for [[Adolf Hitler]] and lightly disavowing Hitler and mentioning how his grandfather witnessed atrocities of concentration camps when liberating Europe. He again condemned West and Fuentes but more harshly when he went on [[Steven Crowder]]'s show.<ref>[https://www.yahoo.com/news/alex-jones-goes-war-kanye-222013191.html Alex Jones Goes to War With Kanye West and Nick Fuentes Over ‘Homoerotic’ Hitler Fascination] ''yahoo!news'' </ref>

In April 2024, Jones once again made clear that he detested Hitler, this time via a tweet on [[Twitter]]. In a sign of the devolution of Twitter under [[Elon Musk]], this tweet triggered many pissed off reactions from the numerous [[neo-Nazi]] Hitler apologists that followed him, to which he fought back against. Credit where it’s due, not a lot of rightists condemn Nazis in their audience (The Babylon Bee being one of the rare exceptions).<ref>[https://www.dailydot.com/debug/alex-jones-hitler-comments/ "‘You sold out brother’: Alex Jones loses fans after condemning Hitler"] by Katherine Huggins, Daily Dot, 2024 April 22</ref>

Jones was also a big critic of the Bush administration and the war in Iraq, as well as the Clinton administration’s role for conflicts in East African countries (albeit with his twist of conspiracism). Jones also has implicitly supported Palestine and criticized Israel for their attack on Gaza.

==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:
