Explores Jones's early warnings and his infiltraion of Bohemian Grove, framing how his confrontational style built a devoted following.
Asmongold TV dives into Alex Jones’s rise, influence, and dramatic fall, weighing where he was right, where he was wrong, and how platform censorship shaped his fate.
Summary
Asmongold narrates the arc of Alex Jones from a fringe Texas reporter to a global conspiracy lightning rod. The piece traces Jones’s early skepticism of centralized power, his Bohemian Grove infiltration, and his rise after 9/11 as a primary vessel for mass-surveillance and “false flag” theories. It respects Jones’s skill as a communicator while not shying away from his later spiraling behavior, addiction, and the Sandy Hook defamation case. The video highlights major inflection points—Epstein, Gates, and Epstein-era revelations, the Rogan collaboration, and the mass deplatforming in 2018—that redefined Jones’s reach and controversy. Throughout, Asmongold juxtaposes Jones’s warnings that later proved prescient with statements that proved dangerous or unfounded, inviting viewers to consider how networks of power and tech platforms shape what counts as “truth.” The host also reflects on whether the spectacle of sensationalism eclipsed accountability, ultimately asking: was Jones a truth-teller who went too far, or a provocateur whose methods outpaced his evidence? The narrative blends archival clips, interview snippets, and analytical commentary to map a complex legacy. Jones’s trajectory culminates in a high-stakes defamation judgment and a broader meditation on free speech, platform moderation, and the psychology of conspiracy culture.

Insane Alex Jones conspiracy theories that have turned out to be true. Is this okay? All right. Alex Jones has been trying to warn all of us for decades. He's accused powerful people of hiding their evil acts in plain sight. Now I have to get the [ __ ] Bohemian Grove information out. And then he was also right about Bohemian Grove. He warned us about the elite pedo rings. He was the guy who told me that brought up Jeffrey Epstein's island more than a decade ago. Clinton took multiple trips to Epstein's private island where he kept young women as slaves.
They fly famous rich scientists and politicians and they compromised them with underage girls. Police infiltrating protests to turn them violent. Alex Jones had a great video called 9/11 the road to tyranny. It was the first time I really understood that agent provocators are a government strategy. He even warned us about Bill Gates. And I've seen Bill Gates say, "We've got to get this down to zero and he puts his clicker and puts an image of a human up there." Most people dismissed him. A lot of what he said was absurd. Gay people, I DON'T LIKE THEM PUTTING CHEMICALS IN THE WATER THAT TURN THE FREAKING FROGS GAY.
BUT the more prominent he became, the more these warnings took their psychological toll, sending him spiraling deep into alcoholism, which pushed him into even more erratic behavior. I think that unleashed him. I think the alcohol might have unlocked his potential. That would one day destroy him completely. Almost like it was done by design by the very people he warned us of. Because over time, piece by piece, parts of what he'd been saying started to surface. I did take those plane trips with him. But by that point, it had already cost him his entire life and reputation.
It is. It is not going to work. Bet you made obsolete by our own creation. You see, Alex Jones wasn't always such a mess. He wasn't this alcoholic aderal addict saying whatever he can to get clicks. In fact, in 1995, Jones was just a local Texas news reporter. And he was a yes, Alex Jones. Like I think he grew up like he he was in Austin. My mom would watch Alex Jones on public access television. is pretty handsome and eccentric, although still grounded and tuned in to reality. He liked a beer, but not too much.
And he was proud of being in good shape. I do drink some alcohol, though, and I probably should quit doing that cuz it makes me fat when I drink two or three beers before I go to bed. His driving force back then were his worries about expanding government power. Okay, I don't care about Republican Democrat. I care about getting my taxes cut. I care about getting government cut. His biggest claims to fame back then was when George Bush had him dragged out of a press conference for challenging him while being governor of Texas. Sir, shouldn't we abolish the Federal Reserve and the CFR?
And he was convinced that governments everywhere by nature are controlled by a shadowy group of elites. But back then, it was the Council of Foreign Relations he mistrusted most. And now it's real reality that none of you will talk about. Most of you are members. Through history, governments have always been dangerous. You know, the certain elite controls everybody. Until we realize that Republicans and Democrats are the same people at the top, two sides of the same coin, puppet A and puppet B, we are not going to effectively change this until we are honest about who we're up against.
Back then, Jones had no idea who he would one day become. that US presidential candidates would invoke his name on the campaign trail. And he had no idea how this success would eat away his sanity and his entire life, driving him so deep into alcohol abuse that he just became unrecognizable. And that the I have to tell you guys a secret. I was walking to my podcast and this is the one that we film with Ice and I met a guy that was just just totally randomly. He was a guy that worked at Infowars and he works with Alex Jones.
We exchanged contact information. This happened a week ago. We had a very interesting conversation. It's crazy. What are the odds of that? Warnings he gave us would eventually turned to psychosis. But to understand Alex Jones, you have to understand that back in the day, he was an early genius of the internet. Someone who adopted it before anyone else, realizing it could give InfoWars unlimited reach. The reality, my mom was on the internet constantly. like she like she been watching ham like all these other guys like it wasn't a precient move anticipating the web's domination. It was solely because he was booted out of traditional news for claims about Waco and the Oklahoma City bombing myself and Steve Lane and many others to Waco to the scene of the April 19th 1993 butcher massacre of Clinton.
The impotent husfilled agent trying to feel empowered ordered his henchmen to go out and murder a church community and then drum up all sorts of propaganda as a test to see if they could kill people in the future. His take on a story was always through a lens traditional media did not want to look at. But being cut loose from radio and local news set him free to follow the stories that really interested him. And one of those was Bohemian Grove. Bohemian Grove was a rumored paganistic society made up of elites from around the world with the crazy thing about this is that everybody thought this wasn't real and Alex Jones like he just went there and he showed it and he's like look and now everybody just acknowledges yeah it happened the most powerful US government it ranks and as I attack the bushes for being some of the highest level members of the Bohemian Grove it's now out that Henry Kissinger has been the high priest in past years where they do these mock human sacrifices and some say for real.
But back then Jones didn't have an audience of millions or a massive fortune at his disposal. He was just a determined gorilla style investigative journalist and the seeds of his manic brand were I'm pretty sure this is the this is the underpass if I'm if I'm correct on this. This is the underpass downtown Austin leading into uh like it's like fifth street or something like that or like the hospital the seat hospital like I I there are people living here now. The seeds of his manic brand were already starting to sprout. I don't want to be part of their sick control freak system.
I don't like these degenerate imbred uh new world order crowd people. They're not going to run my life. They're not going to control me and I'm going to try to expose them. So Jones actually decided to go out and locate Bohemian Grove and infiltrate one of their ceremonies to film the rituals. And he wasn't alone. This is the story of one man's attempts to infiltrate and secretly film inside Now, it seems like an unlikely partnership, but Jones ended up joining forces with the British investigator journalist John Bronson to sneak into Bohemian Grove for a Channel 4 documentary, The Secret Rulers of the World.
2000 folks turning on to the Bohemian Highway and Bohemian Grove. We're going to find out what in the new world order is going on here. We were there in person 25 years ago that they were burning. For Jones, this was the equivalent of a flatearther reaching the icy ring surrounding you. To be fair, it was completely insane what they discovered. The place was full of roadup people practically wetting themselves with excitement in anticipation of their weird ritual of chanting and burning an effigy of an ancient owl god. All surrounded by some of the most influential and powerful people in the world.
I feel like that's a really big deal. I don't know. I think that's a really big [ __ ] deal. That's crazy. What's going on over there? For Jones, it was absolutely clear vindication that his new world order really did exist. Now he was convinced that more circles of elite figures from around the world were operating in secret, doing terrible things with impunity protected by the highest powers in the world. You cover up a crime, you're involved in it. You're a I mean, of course the globalist hire a bunch of to run things. Even after that, almost no one was paying attention.
It took Jones many years to become the whiskey guzzling rabble rouser we all know him as. Because even though we look back on it more fondly now, the '90s was a pretty dull time for conspiracy theorists. Western economies were strong. Politics were centrist. Tech was still pretty harmless and fun. Nintendo and Sony were the giants everyone knew about, not Palenter and Tik Tok. People weren't hearing things about Jeffrey Epstein compromising the people were so positive and everything was so good in the '9s and then 9/11 happened and everything turned into being bad. That's basically what it was.
Everything was okay. Everything was fine. And then as soon as 9/11 happened, the world changed for the worst. Elites in our governments. There seemingly wasn't much to be suspicious of. But then September 11th happened. This sent conspiracies mainstream and it gave Jones the hard launch he'd been looking for. on 911 on 9 the day after 911 he was calling it a conspiracy or some sort of false flag 11 of September 2001 yesterday I preexperience I was there I have predicted for the last 5 years occurred they are going to now use terrorism as a pretext to destroy our civil liberties the moment shattered everything the illusion of global peace most westerners lived in the basic level of trust most people had in governments and militaries, the security people felt living in the richest, most powerful nations on Earth.
Suddenly, now people were questioning everything. For Jones, this was confirmation that everything he'd been warning people about for years was true. But he took it to another level and he didn't waste any time doing it. Either the government actually carried out this bombing themselves, the New World Order occupational government to create the crisis to offer the solution or ladies and gentlemen, they allowed terrorists from somewhere in the world who were kicked off of everything of this to engage in this sinister activity. Despite a ramshackle online setup with a limited following, Jones started to make a splash with his relentless frenzy claims that it was an inside job.
He warned us this was the latest in a string of false flag operations by the US government to justify the expansion of government and the roll out of mass surveillance. Governments have staged terror attack. Isn't it crazy that man throughout history or allowed terrorists to attack as a pretext to invade and enslave the population? Unlike today, the inside job element of this warning didn't go down with a country reeling from this instance. I actually think this was the end of Piers Morgan's CNN show. I think Alex Jones killed it. Like he just totally [ __ ] just just Yeah, he just mogged him, bro.
Like it was not even was not even close. But it did bring in the USA's dark history of false flag operations into the open again, which was helped by Jones repeated rants about Operation Northwards, a rejected 1960s US plan to covertly facilitate Cuban attacks on civilian targets, or to justify a war against the communist Castro regime. As a result, Infowars started gaining some serious ground. For those of you that can't tell, this is a small room that I've picked to use rather than the larger studios. It's much simpler, and I can run everything myself. even still in his tiny little studio.
But soon as people realized the horrors of the patriact among the horrors of the Iraq war, his rising popularity and fame allowed for a much more slick operation. I'm Alex Jones at Real Alex Jones. Stay with us. This is a war. the more extreme his claims became, you support raping children with battery acid, the bigger his audience got and the more rapid his I think also like there's another component of this too where like he kept showing people things that were in plain sight and he kept getting deplatformed and demonized for it and then people like because there were things like I mean imagine exposing a secret society that presidents and other heads of states are in and people are just like h I mean, that's crazy.
Became the Moyes viewers led up. Children walking around with their B. By the way, the response that people have to to that and a couple other things Alex Jones said that turned out to be true. That's the that that that is the foundation that I base the expectation like nobody gave a [ __ ] about the Epstein Files. It's because this isn't the first time this has happened. It's happened multiple times before this. ED'S DYING OF CANCER ALL AROUND ME. WHY? THIS IS A NORMAL RESPONSE TO THEM. SO BY the early 2010s, he now had a large but still pretty niche audience tuning in daily for his hours long high blood pressure live rant on everything from fluoride in the water to elite banking cartels preparing to the world.
But the 2010s also saw two huge events that would rattle the US further. And while this made Jones an enormous figure, it shattered his sanity even further, convincing him that he was now on a god-given mission to deliver the world from the evil of the new world order. How about that? Which being one of the most stressful things to take on capitalized is drinking. despite the incredible mission I've got and the whole world counting on me more and more to be the the the the leader of a movement against tyranny. It's just to have hundreds of people coming up with light in their eyes just telling me how great I am.
Let me tell you something. As good as I am, ladies and gentlemen, I like to chew tobaca. I like to drink whiskey. And I have I'll be honest with you, I have constant struggles and to uh you know get a bottle of Jack Daniels. I don't even have the self-control. The moment came where one of Jones's most outlandish claims was in part vindicated. It was a staged event to launch the Iraq war and to set up a domestic police state here in the United States. In 2013, CIA whistleblower Edward Snowden fled to Russia. Working with a group of international journalists, Snowden released a load of classified CIA files that sent shock waves around the world.
In the wake of September 11, the USA under section 215 of the Patriot Act had been secretly collecting the phone records and data of hundreds of millions of people in a global surveillance system. But what happened in the wake of 9/11 was a whole bunch of uh government officials got together behind closed doors. Uh and this was actually So keep this in mind whenever they tell you they can't figure out these Reddit retards that are going around trying to threaten the president. Keep this in mind whenever they say like, "Oh well, we don't know where they are.
Uh-huh. Right. Guys, led Dick Cheney, a guy named David Addington wrote a secret legal interpretation. And so they did this and this became a mass surveillance program called Stellar Wind, which they said was supposed to monitor the phone calls uh and internet communications, emails, and things like that of everybody in the United States and around the world. Suddenly, Jones's fringe ideas about the deep state and mass surveillance of people weren't so ridiculous. People's newound disillusionment with authority in the status quo US politics and Jones having warned about this stuff for years was finally the voice of a growing movement of people becoming increasingly paranoid about the government.
Unelected deep state operatives who defy the voters to push their own secret agendas are truly a threat to democracy itself. and his own paranoia is only compounded when he finds himself at the center of a brutal presidential campaign. Well, it was also that Trump called it out, too. Trump basically said, "Yeah, there are a deep state amount of people that are controlling things and it is billionaires that are doing it." Well, how do you know? Cuz I was doing it. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump getting attacked by major political media regularly across the world. radio host Alex Jones, who claims that 911 and the Oklahoma City bombings were inside jobs.
Trump, however, openly stated his admiration for him, which swelled Jones's audience even further, saying, "Your reputation's amazing. I will not let you down. You will be very, very uh impressed, I hope, and I think we'll be speaking a lot." His drain the swamp mantra and endless attacks on the status quo found a powerful supporter in Jones, whose interview with Trump in 2016 is said to have helped Trump get over the line and into the White House. If I'm elected president, I think that it definitely locked into skits. The moment that Trump like and and also like I don't like that this video glossed over the Piers Morgan interview.
I do think because Piers Morgan was like a I mean he's he's a sharp guy. He is. And like nobody nobody mogged Piers Morgan on his own show the same way that Alex Jones did. Like they brought on I remember like Jessie Ventura and Jessie Ventura mogged Piers as well. But the difference is that Jesse Ventura wasn't like militant about it. He was like much more relaxed. Everything was fine. But the moment that like you brought Alex Jones on and he just shout and I'm talking about again back in the day like Alex Jones going on Piers Morgan and just totally [ __ ] like just bulldozing him like I really think that was a massive aura gain for him.
It was we are going to that was like last year 15 years ago DC Jones's once fringe ideas were now being amplified by the most powerful man in the world. The head of the government he'd spent years attacking was now his personal champion. This was Jones's peak. But after a peak there was always a fool. And Jones had a long way to fall from the heights he'd reached. With his drinking and aderal use getting out of control. His marriage was collapsing. I can't stand to be at a party where alcohol is being drunk and not drink it.
I am weak. My flesh is weak. His wife divorces him and a nasty and at times very public custody battle for their children engulfves his private life with his wife doing TV interviews attacking his character. People in Texas start filming him and arresting him in public. That's definitely him. He's a ragefilled person. After a pose, mad, bro. Like, yeah. Yeah. Get the [ __ ] out of here. Like, yeah. I don't. And also the other one, it was a hu like the big the big one that happened too was Sandy Hook cuz I think Sandy Hook happened before Trump.
It was like 201 like I don't know like 13 or something like that. Like I don't remember about like when the timeline was but it was really I mean that was the big one like cuz that's actually what cooks like Alex Jones was not cooked except for that that was the only thing that really [ __ ] him. nine day trial. A jury awarded Kelly Jones joint custody of their kids, making her home the primary residence instead of their fathers. He appears on Info Wars looking worse and worse, often with red eyes and a swollen face because then it was a secret I had a divorce 3 years ago.
I tried to keep my kids out of it. You can see his brash character start to fall apart at the scenes. There were days he almost burst into tears on air. But there were good people in the government. He also starts becoming way more direct about the elite circles he believed were running the world. He also speaks more openly about powerful pedo networks and he was one of the first people to bring public attention towards Jeffrey Epstein's first arrest when most people still had no idea who Epste even was. Right. When you've got the same FBI a couple years ago with Jeffrey Epstein where the Lolita Express with Bill Clinton on at least 16 roundtrip flights to the island he got convicted of running.
And years later, the truth about the scale of his crimes filled the headlines every day. Only more than 10 years later have some of the most central figures and longtime targets of Joneses like the Clintons been dragged into depositions to answer for their friendship with Epstein. Do you believe you? This was crazy, bro. Like, he sees the Epstein files and he's like, "Yeah, were a victim of a Jeffrey Epstein intel operation?" Oh, man. Do you think that you might have been like caught up in some of what he was maybe potentially doing? Um, did you ever receive a massage or have physical contact from her or anyone else on that trip?
You've seen the pictures. There was one time when I was sitting up and I got a back rub, a neck woke and Jeffrey Epstein who had regular orgies at his Caribbean compound that the former president visited multiple times. His audience kept growing. Jones became ever more convinced of himself. The threats from the elites and mainstream media grew and the pressure was now mounting. But still, he kept the show going. Now he was deciding to take aim at another billionaire in his line of sight. one he'd warned us about for years and who had been ignored.
Bill Gates Jones was an early critic of Gates and his completely [ __ ] vindicated by the way. Once again, completely and absolutely [ __ ] vindicated. How did he know all that though? because he's a he you would really be surprised the amount of progress that you can make on something if you are an above intelligence person who's completely [ __ ] insane. If you look at history, you will see above average people that are completely [ __ ] insane on every page. That's it. That's literally it, man. Obsession. Yes. Artificial nice guy act. He saw the contradictions in Gator's claims to want to help the world and poor people all while desiring to control overpopulation by decreasing the global population.
Two weeks ago, Bill and Meinda Gates Foundation secret meeting of the rich with Warren Buffett and Ted Turner and it said the main agenda was reduce our population by 80%. Now, the world today has 6.8 billion people. That's headed up to about 9 billion. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15%. Particularly in poorer places like Africa, but it's really Africa that still has a doubling in population to 2050. Of course, Jones's take on Gator's plan for Africa's population growth was a little less nuanced.
MURDER AFRICA INVASION FORCE RELEASE US. I MEAN THESE ARE COOK CULT DEMONS HARDCORE EVIL. I MEAN THESE PEOPLE ARE FLAMING SCUM. While regular people were horrified that one of the blandest billionaire geeks on the planet was also a part of the Epstein files. Jones he was right about that. Again the thing is that he's shouting it from the rooftops. He's trying to tell everybody, but no one wanted to listen. Was now vindicated and climbed even further into his own mania. By this point, he was no longer on the fringes. He was now mainstream. His YouTube channel was clocking up more views than established broadcasters like MSNBC.
He was worth hundreds of millions, had hundreds of millions of followers, had the president's ear. He was completely untouchable. Or so he thought. You see, he starts getting drunk on air more often with wild appearances in podcasts like the Joe Rogan Experience where his unh legendary No, no, no, no. Let's not reframe this, okay? Joe Rogan and Alex Jones have been friends for like 30 years. So, let's not pretend like Joe Rogan was like, "Oh, wow. Alex Jones is so crazy." No, Joe was gassing him up. Joe was saying, "Oh, and then what, Alex? So what about that alien [ __ ] So what do they have an area?
So who's this Bob laser? Who is this guy? Yeah. Well, let's not reframe. Let's not rewrite history. They were in this together. State is overlooked as it's just part of his. We need a new one by the way. Brand. No, I love being here. I'll sit here and like tell fart jokes if you want. I'd rather get drunk and just have a good time. This episode number 911 was done purpose. by Rogan in honor of Jones's career turning point. I knew how I go, okay, there's a certain number of podcasts I have to do to get this to 911.
So Jamie and I worked it out and we did it. It was hugely successful. The biggest mainstream conspiracy theorists being egged on by arguably the world's biggest interviewer, which then sent Alex Jones into the stratosphere. And he didn't disappoint. This was all Yeah. No, he he was high on his own fumes and happy to say absolutely anything knowing people would still believe. and he'd face no consequences. Well, the problem is that he was right. On one of Joe Rogan's most popular episodes of all time that has since been deleted, he appears in a NASA shirt.
Think about that. It got deleted. Every other interview didn't get deleted. That one got deleted. Why would you do that? And is seemingly more crazy than he's ever been before. Over the course of nearly five hours, he rants about this kind of stuff. Native Americans, you can mind control really fast. 20 years ago, they had spiders that produce body armor. Spider goats. Okay, they have human animal hybrids. 30 years ago, they human animal hybrids. Then the Epstein files reveals human animal hybrids. Then Tim Burchett, the senator from Tennessee, says that they have human animal hybrids.
Wow. What are the odds of that? That's crazy. We've got giant human tissue farms. Aliens are real. They're creating human animal hybrids. THEY ADMIT 5G in all the studies, LA Times, causes massive mutation and cancer. It literally rattles your DNA apart. All of our kids are under attack. NASA is the German breakaway government. It was from this point onwards that Jones never returned to his previous more stable state. Adal and alcohol had now taken the wheel and his downfall was near. Jones was arrested in Texas on a misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated. His claims didn't need to make sense.
That wasn't his stock in trade anymore. The problem is that they did though. That's the pro. They did make sense. That was the that's the situation. He didn't need to be right. He just needed to go further. His off air actions got worse. He very clearly starts cracking and it's only a matter of time before he gives the people who want him gone exactly what they need to finish him as he crosses a line he can't come back from. Making his now infamous claims about Sandy Hook never occurring that the children didn't exist and the grieving parents were actors.
He'd actually been saying this stuff for years prior to the podcast and this point. But now those words were coming back to bite him. after his followers turned on the parents and all the evidence proved him wrong. He had to be dragged kicking and screaming to walk it all back. This was the first time he'd actually had to take accountability for his more wild statements. Although he questions the legitimacy of the attack when it happens, he isn't famous enough for anyone to care. As his star rises, his repeated claims are heard everywhere, bringing Jones all the wrong kinds of attention.
His followers turn on the parents, sending them death threats and accuse them of faking their grief. And so in 2018, a way to silence him was found. He could have info wars, but no big platform allows him to use their base anymore. He was taken off the biggest as soon as basically every single social media company at the same time deplatformed Alex Jones. They all like it was in one morning and he was taken off of every social media platform. Was he right on this one? I think he was wrong on this. This is stupid.
social media platforms all in one single moment. YouTube, Facebook, and then Twitter, wiping out a huge chunk of his audience and his revenue. For those who didn't know Jones, now he was for being one of the most silenced individuals online. His daily audience then fell from 1.4 million daily views to 715,000. And it only went down, by the way, that's ridiculous. If I if you get taken off of every major social media platform and you only lose half your audience, that's nuts. From there, suddenly all the popular Joe Rogan episodes were wiped off YouTube and Spotify.
Anything with Jones's name was considered hate speech. Bootleg re-uploads are quickly taken down, and it's clear that tech companies are serious about silencing him. He's seen as too toxic, and they're not going to jeopardize their profits for a wild card, no matter how much his support. I don't think it had anything to do with their profits. I think Alex Jones was a ideological enemy and they systematically worked to come up with an excuse to delegitimize him. I think that it had nothing to do with like, you know, any sort of the company looking out for itself or anything else.
I think straight up they just wanted to get rid of him. That was it. Shout about free speech. Even when the evidence on Sandy Hook eventually proved him wrong, he was dragged kicking and screaming to walk it all back in court. As he's not used to actually having to take accountability for those wild statements, in his trial, his lawyer tries to dismiss his claims as part of an eccentric character Jones plays on air. Jones himself confesses he has psychosis, which is at the root of a lot of his claims, but it doesn't fly. And I've, you know, I myself, you know, almost had like a point of psychosis back in the past where I The judge sides with the victims and orders Jones to pay an eye watering 1.5 billion in damages.
Completely done. By the way, see, this is what I said before. Remember how I said that like you need to weaponize the justice system as much as you can? And like if it was up to me, I would absolutely weaponize it against my enemies and do so with complete like like with no no not I would not even consider it. I would instantly do it. It's because $1.5 billion dollar defamation lawsuit. Are you kidding me? This was so obviously politically and socially motivated. Like they were doing this to him in order to damage him as much as possible.
Like I don't think that this was it. How is this proportionally defined based off of anything? Uh you can't defame dead people. Well, no. I think that like obviously it should have happened. But the 1.5 mil billion number, this was obviously done. It's not about the money. It's about sending a message. That's it. Forcing him to declare bankruptcy and there is no recovering. But it makes you wonder what stuff does this guy really believe and warn us genuinely and what does he say is just part of an act. Never never forget that they did that and that again and also like I think he should have been held accountable for it.
But to do that after all these different big companies collectively like I mean what do you think the odds are that they all banned him on the same day randomly? They clearly coordinated this. So what do you think that you know like what do you think's going on here? This is the reason why I am always a big advocate of pulling every lever of power that you can possibly have. Always do it because if you don't do it, your opponents will. And if they do it, they're not going to let you do it again. That's it.
Twitter files show this coordination. Yeah, because they dove, didn't they try the same thing with Trump? Exactly. I wish that there were more people that felt the way that I did, but too many people are blinded by a principle that's defined by their enemies and unfortunately it's causing them to lose, which is by design. For his antics is a really smart guy. He's an incredible speaker and when you look at his past and all the warnings he gave us, a lot of them turn out to be true. He even said back in the day he has all this performance just to be entertaining.
I get pretty hot on a lot of these shows. I wouldn't say really angry, just more, you know, excited. I mean, for me to, you know, try to make it entertaining and at the same time give people information. I let myself get pretty excited. But from that point onwards, everybody does this, by the way. Everybody does this. It's nothing unique with Alex Jones. They just do it in different ways. realized that the more he lent into extreme behavior, the more interested people were. Extreme cont. So, when did this act become his actual personality and astray his warnings?
Well, very few people actually knew him well. His ex-wife told the media that the screaming rapid fire monologuing conspiracy theorist is just who he is. Is this acting or is this real? That's definitely him. I'm not going to believe I'm not going to believe your ex-wife. This trying to get custody and all your money. I'm not going to believe her. No. Um, ragefilled person. But this was also in the middle of a very messy custody battle for their kids during a very messy divorce. Only really two other people genuinely knew him since he was an apolitical upstart shouting at George Bush in the '90s.
And what they have to say about him fills in a lot of the blanks around someone who was clearly gifted but also deeply troubled. He's been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder. So, I think an awful lot of the things that he does is because he has that disorder. John Ronson is one of the very few people who actually tried to get to the heart of Alex Jones. And after learning his origin story from an unnamed employee of Joneses, Ronson revealed the reason Jones is a conspiracy theorist. Alex has an origin story about how he wasounded out of Dallas and had to move to Austin because he uncovered police corruption and the police hounded him out of town.
What do you think the probability of that being true is? I think it's pretty high. They had cops up there that I knew were drug dealers and I stood up and I said I was at a pool party. He was selling I had friends that have sold drugs to cops. Like this happens. Yeah, it happens. Like I see last week they took me in an office, ran my head in the wall, told me we're going to kill you and have black people with foot long d you in the ass tomorrow. But they said you're going to move out of this town right now.
It's because he was a bully and everyone was afraid of him. And one day he was invited to a party in a barn, but it was a trap. He was basically the victim of a conspiracy and it was all the kids that he had bullied beat him half to death and that's why he left town. But Alex Jones got dumped on his head when he was in high school. He's speaking about getting bullied in high school. This guy picked him up and piled him, slammed him on the concrete on his head when he was, you know, 15, 16 years old and he was ever since then.
And this guy said, you know, isn't this extraordinary that Alex became a conspiracy theorist because he had been the victim of a conspiracy, not uncovered a conspiracy, but been the victim of one. Rogan says that Jones wasn't lying about Sandy Hook. It's just that he's not even capable of thinking straight. He wasn't lying. He just was wrong. He really believed that the government had faked it to try to confiscate people's weapons. Like he's just I I mean, but it was a haze of drugs and booze and a psychotic break and like legitimate traumatic brain injury.
And then you see him today where he's barely able to speak because he's so drunk on just a handful of podcasts that will have them on. I think that this is un I think this video is unfair to Alex Jones. I think that overwhelm like we're not even talking about the fact that he was right about the frogs like the Epstein stuff of him bringing that up as well. Jerry Epstein on Joe Rogan. I think that Alex Jones was right about at least 25% of the stuff. And the thing is that the 25% that he was right on was the most important 25%.
The thing is like I I understand like he made mistakes. He did [ __ ] that was wrong. That's true. But when I see all of these social media platforms that are collectively trying to deplatform him and do this all entirely and there is a massive like never even heard before $1.5 billion defamation lawsuit against him, dude. Like I mean at what point can you not say that this is very coordinated foul play? I mean really like that that's crazy. The reality talks about Sandy Hook suspect compared to the other Epstein stuff he got right. Yeah. And again like I I think that was wrong.
Like for sure it was dumb and he said other things that I think are dumb too but that doesn't mean that everything is dumb. And also by the way Tim P is really wellknown. And it's not like this is a random podcast. This guy's very wellnown. It is it is not going to work that you may obsely creation. Indeed. All desperately trying to escape the financial ruin by declaring bankruptcy for losing the trial. Perhaps the final nail in his coffin is that his political northstar has traded so far with his attacks on Iran that Jones now finds himself back on the outside of mainstream political thinking.
Then I have to intensify my criticism of President Trump. Trump's out of his mind. We didn't betray Trump. He betrayed us. But just on the genocide issue alone, Trump says, "I will genocide your entire country, which is an open war crime. Even say you'll do it when you have the weapons. This is terrorism." The America first, no foreign wars, MAGA movements that Jones championed, was thrown out of favor in return to the old US politics of Middle Eastern wars that he used to criticize so fiercely along with everything that happened with Epstein. And now Jones is in favor of having Trump impeached.
This is something he vividly criticized when it happened in 2019, relentlessly attacking the Democrats for the move and calling it a hoax. So, what do you think's coming next with the whole impeachment hoax? Because it is a hoax now. He doesn't agree with it. It's pretty simple. They may never send it to the It got so bad that Trump even responded on Truth Social, calling him bankrupt Alex Jones. And now Alex Jones even denies that he was ever a conspiracy theorist, saying this was all just a ploy by the media and CIA to undermine him.
That's why I get mad at the shows that are, you know, innuendo and conspiracy theories. I'm not I've never been a conspiracy theorist, folks. That's what the media calls me. That's a CIA term. In the end, it's not really clear whether he believes what he's saying or just needs people to listen to him. This show is about information, not continual entertainment. I think that this was not fair to Alex. I think that I mean, again, There were a number of things that Alex Jones did and was completely absolutely totally [ __ ] vindicated on. And I think that overwhelmingly like Alex Jones Well, yeah.
I mean, again, I don't agree with Alex Jones about everything, right? But to say that it's all about alcohol and everything else, I mean, you have to also keep in mind that like if any of this stuff is true, it means he's also being attacked and down by like all these super powerful institutions all the time. And yeah, I bet that's probably going to stress somebody out. It is. It's definitely going to stress somebody out. There's another uh POE video now. I'll have to look at it. And very reductive. Yeah, he's a conspiracy realist. Yeah, Alex Jones has gotten a lot of things right.
He has gotten an overwhelming amount of things right. I like Moon. I think this is it's it's re the beginning of it was very accurate, especially in terms of like his humble beginnings and all of that. But I think really like what happened with Alex Jones, I think that one thing that negatively affected him really is the fact that he tied his boat to Donald Trump so much. So it basically meant that he had to underwrite things that Trump would do. And I think that whenever you do that with any individual person rather than whenever you're working inside of an ideology, it makes you look compromised.
And at this point a lot of conspiracy people have even moved beyond uh Alex Jones and this is like you know Candace Owens and people that are even more conspiracy brain than that and this is one of the issue of conspiracy theories is that they are a self-radicalizing spiral and the more that people get involved with conspiracy theories the more people get involved with conspiracy theories. And I think that now it's gotten so extreme that everybody just believes anything. You mean CIA assets? I don't know what's going on if people are feds or not or anything else, but um like to me I I feel like a lot of that are just it's simply just PvP.
It seems like it's just different users PvPing each other, stuff like that. And and the dead children thing. Uh don't forget to say children died and not just Sandy Hook. Well, yeah. He cuz he said that the children didn't actually die and the parents it was all fake and they were crisis actors and everything. Like my mom believed in it too, right? Cuz she was a big fan of Alex Jones. And so, and I always thought it was really stupid. I thought it was stupid the day it happened. And like what I thought was kind of ironic is that there were other things that were like kind of odd about Sandy Hook.
Like for example, like they said there were two shooters at the beginning. Like I remember I was at Jeff's house and I watched the Sandy Hook news story happen in real time and like it was always interesting to me that like they never really discussed that but they discussed these other conspiracy theories instead of that. And not that I thought that any of them meant anything but it's like it seemed like you would have more of a of a gradient of it, right? And so yeah, he kept changing the story. I don't know what happened.
I mean, who knows why they changed the story. It could be a lot of different reasons, but uh yeah, that's
