Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones said he was conducting a "social experiment" by sporting a mustache in the style of Adolf Hitler — and claimed that it made him more attractive to women.Jones opened his Thursday broadcast by playing clips of the German dictator before revealing his new mustache."Now, ...
he was extremely well read and had a very good working knowledge of what the powerful were up to
He grabbed headline news and mashed it up with popular conspiracy theories of the moment.
Jones didn’t know anything you couldn’t find in the pages of The New Republic or The Austin American Statesman or PBS. He just made an art of cobbling it together with The Drudge Report and Townhall.com, so that people who didn’t follow both strains of news figured he was saying something novel or insightful.
There’s a pretty good series of episodes on the podcast Behind The Bastards. Including how he sold high in lead content supplements for years. That actually might be brilliant though, as lead increases violent tendencies and reduces cognitive function, which will prevent his customer base from realizing he’s just making shit up and trying to make them mad.
I don’t think he did it on purpose either, but the lead part is true. The Center for Environment Health did test it.
Don’t worry, I’m going to die to this fascism too.
You’re barking up the wrong tree. Most people in the state are incompetent, not evil. The problem is incompetence allows evil to thrive. I’ve never supported censorship, but I do support people getting consequences to their actions. Alex Jones has actively supported violence through lies, and actively sold poison with no recompense. If you think what he’s going through now is recompense… I’m sorry? But you’re wrong. He’s doing fine through his crocodile tears.
Please. Take care of yourself. And whomever in your community you have the power to take care of. We only get through this together.

Very clever at marketing. If you’ve seen him in person, he turns the act on and off like a light switch.
But the man’s been a bullshit artist since day one.
It’s not a change in character. He just found a bigger set of suckers.

All the good uncensored news like “the dead kids at Sandy Hook are just made up?”
What is this apologist nonsense for a gigantic piece of shit, did you have some bad chili too?

He was outright scamming people.
“He was outright scamming people”
The older I get the more I tend to believe this.

You never know things might turn around. Maga is pretty dumb. They don’t have any good arguments. Mostly just hate.
