Alex Jones is an American far-right radio show host, filmmaker, writer, and conspiracy theorist. He is popular for his on-air show, The Alex Jones Show, from Austin, Texas.
Funny thing, remember all that grumbling about fake news. Well, fake news is still real and alive today. His website, InfoWars.com, has been labeled as a fake news website.
Several devastating events occurred on American grounds, including the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting, Oklahoma City bombing, and 9/11; Jones developed several assumptions, statements, beliefs, and especially conspiracies that target major social issues with the wake of the event. For example, he believes that the US was involved with the bombing and 9/11 attacks. In addition, the elementary school shooting was staged and it was served as a warning. If that’s not enough, he accuses NASA of the “fake” moon landings in order to hide its secret technology.
All these conspiracies and ideas seem bizarre, almost unreal. However, what can people believe these days? The power of the mind is unlimited and imaginative. Anyways, who knows, Jones’ conspiracies may be entertaining but legitimate. It’s up to you to figure what side you are on; go watch his videos on YouTube and scroll through his website.
