PostAlex Jones admits he's a fake.
by Lex-Man » Mon Apr 17, 2017 9:05 pm

Alex Jones has just admitted he was lying all along in a court case over access to his kids.

http://www.avclub.com/article/alex-jone ... lMarketing

In this post-Pepe age, doing it for the lulz has become the last refuge of political cowards. And, to no one’s surprise, now that his personal life is under threat, Alex Jones is as quick to shed his conspiratorial persona as a snake to shed its skin. This comes courtesy of Business Insider, which reports that an attorney representing Jones in a Texas custody battle has claimed that Jones is “playing a character“ when he does things like call the shooting deaths of 20 young children at Sandy Hook Elementary School “a giant hoax” and mock their mourning families, suggest vaccines are part of a “soft kill” campaign to “cull” the population, and claim that the American government is “encourag[ing] homosexuality with chemicals” in order to bring on “the collapse of civilization.”

Jones’ attorney goes on to say that Jones “is a performance artist,” basically calling his followers gullible marks being manipulated by a con man. (As if Yoko Ono hasn’t suffered enough indignities already, now she has to be compared to this jagoff?) Comparing the off-duty Jones to his raving online presence, his attorney claims, would be like judging Jack Nicholson based on his Joker character in Tim Burton’s Batman.

A more accurate comparison would be Stephen Colbert’s performance as ”Stephen Colbert” on The Colbert Report, but even that gives Jones an unearned benefit of the doubt. Colbert is a comedian who made clear that his show was satire, whereas a search on Jones’ website turns up pages and pages of results claiming to expose the “truth” behind everything from Sweden to Oprah Winfrey. His “about” page says he’s a “journalist” who is “SEEKING THE TRUTH AND EXPOSING THE SCIENTIFICALLY ENGINEERED LIES OF THE GLOBALISTS AND THEIR ULTIMATE GOAL OF ENSLAVING HUMANITY.” (Caps original.) If he’s ever said “j/k guys, you don’t think I actually believe any of this stuff right?,” he’s buried it pretty deep.

For her part, Jones’ ex-wife, who is seeking full custody of their three children, doesn’t think he’s joking. In her testimony at a pre-trial hearing as reported in The Austin American-Statesman, she said, “He’s not a stable person. He says he wants to break Alec Baldwin’s neck. He wants J-Lo to get raped,” expressing her concern that “he broadcasts from home” and “the children are there, watching him broadcast.” Ever the empath, Jones said on his show yesterday that Sasha and Malia Obama are not actually Barack Obama’s children, the day before his own custody trial was to begin.



I'm actually totally shocked. I had got to the point where I thought that Alex Jones actually believed the crap he spouted.

He might just be lying about this to get custody.

I'm more inclined to believe his wife, and in turn my own eyes and ears, that he's a fruit loop.

If he is it's a risky proposition because he's opening him self up to a load of litigation.
By admitting that he's being lying, he's made himself far easier to sue for defamation under the US system. Even if his admission is itself a lie.

How anyone can take the guy seriously is beyond me.
Maybe I've been brainwashed by the BBC and other broadcasters in that when he goes into his sweat inducing rants it just makes him seem like an idiot and so biased and up his own arse as to be just completely unbelievable.

He and Trump are two peas on the same...plant. You can spend ages trying to dissect the person from the apparent TV character or you can come to a much easier conclusion that he's a lying charlatan: a con artist, that will lie, deceive, do and say whatever to make money. That believes everything and nothing depending on who it is he is targeting or talking to at any given moment.

Alex Jones and Donald Trump have succeeded in contaminating the minds of the vulnerable and idiotic, and given them a legitimate and public voice in the process. So who the real person may be, if in fact they even know themselves, is practically irrelevant. Because in the public world we inhabit, rather than the one they may be behind closed doors, they're 100% real.

Also I don't really see how this is going to help his case to keep his kids.

Maybe he should start a new conspiracy theory that kids are just robots designed to trick people into working hard at jobs we hate.
What we all experience as children was just as being kidnaped at birth and replaced by those robots and then after years being held in government run coma sites we we al get a certain level of education beemed into us via WiFi and then sneakily put back into the family at about the age of 17.

Why else can't I remember the name of 99% of the people I went to school with.

"Donald Trump" (the pop star) has been groomed by "them" for decades, all this time he has been a constant presence in the media: The Nanny, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, David Letterman, The Simpsons, Home Alone, his reality show, etc.

They positioned him in the pop lore, and now he has a foot in the White house.


I had no idea Donald Trump was a pop star as well.

It's a character in so much as the Top Gear/Grand Tour version of Jeremy Clarkson is a character.

I actually really enjoy Jones radio show. Not because it is believable but I really enjoy listing to his conspiracy stories. Like it or not, he spins a good yarn! It's astonishing really how some of these media outlets seem to take him 100% seriously. Like the gay frog thing, that was a masterful piece of viral advertising for him and everytime the MSM or youtube critics play it up, it will inevitably drive traffic to Infowars or to his radio show.

I've listened to him and have two friends who are true believers, but I really can't stand the guy. He just shouts so much that I have to turn him off. He seems totally deranged and I will never understand what anyone gets out of him.
