man is one of the most infamous people in the nation hell even the normie chicks in my english class who spend all of her time on tick tock know who alex jones alex jones alex jones alex jones alex jones cut it like gay people i don't like them putting chemicals in the water that turn the friggin frogs gay do you understand that he has become extremely infamous due to a variety of scandals in tomfoolery that he has been involved in frequently exhibiting behavior that the general public would either deem disgusting or ridiculous he is basically a household name at this point being written about in every major news publication reported on by every major tv news network and of course he's been discussed at some point by basically every youtube goober and their dog so alex jones funniest moments now i don't know i've only watched this dude one in one video i've already seen him in one video and i thought this dude was funny so not to mention that he has become a mainstay of meme culture over the past five years or so consistently being featured for some of his more outlandish behavior come on over here come on over here come on you're not an electrical you're a fake of a fraud most know him as a far-right conspiracy theorist who says the 911 was an inside job and most infamously believes that the events at sandy hook elementary were staged the man has been involved in a never-ending stream of controversies for the entirety of his career by the very nature of his existence and it doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon most people mock alex and while he does have a dedicated following via his website infowars to many he is more or less a laughingstock simply known as the man who screams about gay frogs and pushes insane conspiracy theories in an insensitive and horrible way not many people outside of a few fringe communities respect alex or almost anything that he has to say it's easy to simply hear about something outrageous that someone has done point laugh and carry on with your day it's easy to cast judgment about celebrities and personalities because they're disembodied distant people that we only see through a lens and this lens tends to distort reality changing what we see into some warped version of the truth in this documentary i aim to take a different look at alex the most and more or less try to understand him you get in my face with that i'll beat your goddamn ass you son of a [ __ ] you piece of [ __ ] you [ __ ] goddamn [ __ ] listen [ __ ] you [ __ ] cross the line there's a lot of different contexts and different avenues that we're going to have to explore to truly tell the story of mr jones here but first a message from today's sponsor okay wait no it's not raid shadow legends i promise it's

nothing off of this video because youtube loves not paying me i love you susan now back to the video diving down the alex jones rabbit hole you tend to find yourself feeling a little overwhelmed it goes so deep and has so many winding passages getting lost on the catacombs is just inevitable and it's not always super easy to climb your way out please please protect us [Music] pulling all the strings of the spider web together is hard and it's easily made this video one of the hardest for me to make but i think the best way to paint an accurate picture of who the man is would be to go back to his humble beginnings [Music] our story begins with the birth of our hero as stories often do on february 11 1974 alex emerick jones was born in dallas texas he grew up in an upper middle class household according to most sources with his father david jones being a dentist and his mother carol staying at home this approach to a traditional family life that alex experienced as a young boy is when he continues to promote on his show often calling himself a paleoconservative it seems he was a relatively active member of the school community having actually been alignment on his high school football team but more importantly than any of that is one particular formative experience that he has remarked on a few times about a book that he read in high school none dare call it conspiracy was written by gary allen and released in 1971 as the name implies it addresses a number of conspiracies and theories and aims to outline the existence of a new world order this book is a primer for anyone who wishes to understand the basic workings of the global network of insiders that is determined to wield power over all of mankind in the coming new world order the story you're about to read is true this book may have the effect of changing your life after reading this book you will never look at national and world events in the same way again nundar college conspiracy will be a very controversial book at first it will receive little publicity and those whose plans are exposed in it will try to kill it by the silent treatment eventually it will be necessary for the people and organizations named in this book to try to blunt its effect by attacking it or the author they have a tremendous vested interest in keeping you from discovering what they are doing and they have the big guns of the mass media at their disposal to fire the barrages at nun dare call a conspiracy they will ignore the fact that the author about to about to conjecture they will ignore the fact that the author about to conjecture they will find a typographical error or argue some point that is open to debate if necessary they will lie in order to protect themselves by smearing this book i believe those who pooh-pooh the information herein because psychologically many people would prefer to believe we are because we all like to ignore bad news why are these things written so so so weirdly we do so at our own peril based on the description here it's obvious that we are in somewhat deep conspiracy theory territory this isn't your average shane dawson video where he tries to get you to buy an illuminati pop socket and speaking of subliminal messages i have no merch illuminati sweatshirts with my name on it and of course my illuminati pop socket if you guys want to check it out go to amazon.com shane dawson it's prime so you'll get it in just a couple days things are a little more real this time around the reviews for the book mostly cited as a good primer for those who are dipping their toes into the conspiracy theory world and many see it as a good explanation of how the new world order works i could go on and on about the new world order and the various theories behind it it's mostly a story for another day however for the purposes of this documentary the new world order is essentially a proposed hidden totalitarian government that controls the world from the shadows using the commoners as pawns in their game to establish one massive government that controls all of humanity as well as to profit economically off of the ignorance of the unaware much of the theory behind this was also outlined in a documentary titled new world order which talked about the growing underground anti-globalist movement at the time with alex jones being featured as one of the prominent heads of the movement by the time of its release in 2009 alex was already relatively well known in the media world and by the american public with google trends data showing relatively steady growth and relevancy from 2004 until around the end of 2012 with a notable spike in january of 2013 but more on that later after high school alex attended austin community college in austin texas but dropped out after just one semester clearly having developed some strong opinions on globalists and the cabal of transnational elites that rule the world and as such he took to public access television beginning to broadcast his opinions through the public access tv stations that were available in austin the basic idea of the ac atv broadcasting program was to let anyone with an idea for a show just do it and that's exactly what alex did one of the most infamous clips from his public access days that has resurfaced is of him during halloween 1997 when he discusses the austin police department as well as black helicopters while carving up a nice halloween pumpkin with infrared if you have enough of a heat source in your house it'll it'll pick up the heat source and show a signature it's called flare it's it's it's infrared or heat signature and and uh we didn't play all of the of the cut from the leers uh from the layer newshour but it says yes black helicopters are being used for surveillance of the public by sheriff's departments and police departments around the country the show was essentially a live radio broadcast and he would talk about his opinions on a variety of subjects and bring information that he thought was important to his viewers as well as allow them to call into his show to discuss all these topics with him and ask some questions of their own another clip i was able to find from his television days was titled global love cop where alex wears a ski mask and talks to a caller about giving up rights in what appears to be a lampoon of agents working for the new world order they know how to run the world they're nice i work for them they pay me 55 grand a year and i can make money off asset seizures uh just like roman centurions i like it definitely an uh interesting clip to say the least continuing his time on public access he hosted a show titled the final edition on public radio in austin from which he was actually kicked off by public access management in an article from the austin chronicle his boot from the station in 1999 was described as well as some of the reasons for his local infamy at the time the libertarian jones made a name for himself a couple of years ago with his programs on access television speechifying about and presenting video of what he says are violations of our freedoms and the stepping up of martial law in our country he eventually landed on kjfk still something of a fledgling in austin's talk radio scene according to the article alex actually won the best of austin poll for radio in 1999. keep in mind this was at a time when newspapers were much more prominent and it wasn't just boomers that were spending their time reading them there he drew even more attention especially in championing the cause of the branch davidians and his insistence that they had not committed suicide in the waco debacle but had been attacked by government agents i actually managed to find a recording from around the time of alex talking about being kicked off of the radio i mean look four years is a good run sure is plus i mean as soon as i got to be number one with that eight look it's an 18 000 watt crab station yeah outside austin i took that thing and i made it number one of my time i made it number one and your time slot i even had to admit it the paper you know that's so it was political oh the show was sold out advertising wise it was just lies you know well you figure they are a new world order station aren't they who owns them well they really know they're they're small only 30 newspapers about 16 radio stations that that's that's small in today's market that's small in the conglomerates 50 years ago kicked off of public access completely jones decided to take to the emerging media frontier known as the world wide [Music] web [Music] he had been censored once already but he wasn't willing to let that get him down he had a message a voice an opinion and he wasn't going to let anyone stop him and so in 1999 infowars.com was born alex began broadcasting his radio show from the comfort of his own home discussing his views on subjects like the september 11th world trade center attacks the oklahoma city bombings and the presidential elections of george bush and barack obama obviously over the course of a decade alex has said and done a lot promoting everything from the idea that obama wasn't born in the united states to saying some rather insensitive things about the victims of tragedies media coverage about him has been consistent as his popularity has increased and he has gained more notoriety as a public figure with many seeking to paint him as a madman who rambles to an audience of law iq she regardless of the public perception of alex and his fans his website continued to gain traction with his fan base growing slowly but surely over this time a number of classics were released by alex and his staff including a few feature-length films you can find a few of these in full length on youtube such as the 1999 film are you practicing communism take your globalist agenda and your new world order and you can take my gun from my cold dead hands [Music] another shorter feature which sits at just over an hour in length features alex documenting clan members in waco texas and screaming at them with a megaphone in typical alex jones fashion do you think they do have a government plan and you know what to do you work for the federal government early recordings of broadcast of infowars shows them being extremely rudimentary with poor production quality and pretty low quality microphones but you can see him planting the seeds of the shows that would come to define him his general energy and mannerisms are still there his fast-paced talking and strange methods of parodying others are just as present as ever not to mention his style of guerrilla reporting to raise awareness for a political cause was still a staple of his content i could see why the city really really wants to get its hands on this property like they've done countless others there's a parking lot out there perhaps oh yeah or you know get some rent from you know from a good liberal lawyer you can find a number of clips from around this time if you dig deep enough including this clip from 1997 of alex giving a speech about what he sees as the globalist agenda and how an uprising needs to happen and they have they have nurtured this idea that their power has declined i assure you it is only increased because well-managed power if it's ruthless will only continue to enlarge itself at the expense of the masses of people and i want to say to people out there who are watching this on television because this will re-air don't you make any exceptions to what we're saying what we're saying is facts and if you want to stick your head in sand that's just fine but i say to you this is world district and the sad part is is that slaves out there people that never consciously face up to their destiny to be a real human being with a real spirit you will never even know you were slaves and i guess that's your final victory he continued making these broadcasts to spread his image with the infowars brand including the 2003 movie the matrix of evil which outlines the existence of the illuminati the 13 families and who alex believes is in control of the banks and the media by 2008 the infowars format of alex sitting behind a desk with a microphone and some tv screens behind him had been established with pretty good production quality and a loosely structured format via the infowars website as well as youtube spotify itunes and more than 100 radio stations alex was able to spread his message to his fans and garner an audience only bolstered by the elections in 2008 and 2012. with alex believing that presidential candidate and eventually president of the united states barack obama was not actually born in the united states i refuse to go along with this and i've seen through all your lies barack obama you wicked wicked [Music] devil these claims have remained unproven thus far he also continued his tactics of real-life exposures such as a 2005 video where he infiltrated the bohemian club a private social club of male intellectuals that alex speculated was actually involved in some kind of satanic worship during the video he poses as a member of the club and filmed some supposedly a cold activity complete with dark otherworldly chanting men and cloaks and a corpse sacrifice entering the gorge by stealth and getting into the main parking area from there we posed as bohemian club members thus entering the inner sanctums of the new world order happiness returned to one alone and she surrounds you now great nature it's worth noting that during his rise to prominence during this nearly 10-year stretch alex was able to make some pretty important friends while the mainstream media either ignored him or discredited him people who were gathering an online audience via the growing podcast format were starting to take notice including someone who would become the face of the podcast format over the next few years manufacturing anything including growing marijuana is equal weapon of mass destruction because it cool versus masses of people can be executed joe has served as more or less a mediator between alex and some of the less unhinged members of the internet community often saying that he feels that alex is misunderstood and manages to actually get a lot right often times when alex will join joe on his show joe will have to interrupt alex's ramblings and try to make a coherent point out of what he's saying defending him from the media and the accusation that alex is far right people that don't know uh like how you got started but one of the things i thought was really bizarre in that thing was that lady was calling you a right-wing host a far right-wing host you've never been a right-wing guy and it's a it's a big misconception like you were always totally anti-bush you got arrested speaking before bush was even elected you were trying to stop him from being elected back when clinton was in and when he stole the election from gore who i didn't even really like i still came out and exposed it and it's now been certified in congress and they've documented i just go with what the facts are from time to time this friendship is called into question but it is noteworthy in showing that alex isn't connectionless you don't get as big as he is without knowing a few people see that he's right about things man i've known the guy forever and he's he's absolutely a madman he didn't he didn't talk to him for a minute i mean yeah he exposed a lot of things yeah you know that that a lot of people were like and then he actually shouted many media outlets have even called him the king of alternative media or the cancer of it depending on who you asked his relationship with the mainstream has always been somewhat strenuous with very few news organizations reporting on him positively right-wing conspiracy theorist alex jones alex jones america's most notorious conspiracy theorist these are exciting times for roger stone alex jones the alt-right and others who might normally be relegated to the fringes of american politics radio host and conspiracy theorist alex jones infowars.com this is the man who wants to deport me from the country for wanting to get away now it's to point out you're a foreigner a red coat here telling us what to do whatever go back to where they took the guns if you don't like it the communists well apart from rt a new station that is run by the russian government which seems to love having alex on their show alex jones welcome it is good to be here with you max i was able to find hundreds of clips of rt america either reporting on alex in a positive light or giving him an opportunity to speak on whatever issue is relevant at the time this is likely because rt is a very anti-western attitudes channel they're not huge fans of the united states now america has marked a year since it elected barack obama what promises of change have actually materialized from the day he was elected before he even took office we knew because of his advisers being people from the clinton and bush administration before him that he was going to break all his promises but he's gone back on his word in our history even worse than we thought he would as such it makes sense to me that they would have alex on their show but i have a feeling that their motivations behind treating him favorably are less about wanting to tell the truth about the american government much more about taking anything negative whether it be a rumor or not and platforming it to the public to paint the us in a bad light possible theories about the russian government aside one of the biggest questions that i see asked a lot about alex is how does he make his money taking a visit to the infowars website there aren't any promotions for honey or raid shadow legends the usual website banner ads simply aren't there however scrolling through basically any part of the page we'll show you advertisements for something else [Music] according to most sources the way that alex rakes in all of his money is from selling a variety of supplements all of which can only be purchased on the infowars website itself scrolling through the infowars life tab you can choose from a pretty large selection of products this includes but is not limited to fluoride free bubble gum toothpaste change your life trifecta pack e a force plus ultimate bone broth alpha power the real red pill survival shield bundles of those products and basically every quantity imaginable to be completely honest i'm pretty doubtful about the legitimacy of these products things like fish oil tend to come across as more or less a scam to me and according to the internet community or whatever you want to call these losers a lot of what they sell has basically no effect but i'm not going to be one of those people that's going to support alice jones in the future and i'm never drinking this again one month on biopack didn't do anything to affect my hairline nor did i experience any increase in strength energy or sexual appetite that would be associated with higher testosterone levels from the super male vitality when i looked into the raw ingredients of what i was paying for i paid a markup value three times what these products are actually worth one of the weird things about these foods is that none of them have been evaluated by the food and drug administration because obviously if they were then they'd put fluoride and chemicals in them that turn you into effect the reason why these seem to sell so well is because of the brand that alex has developed over time and promoting one where you can't trust the government you can't trust liberals you can't trust the banks and of course you can't trust the media and i see no issue with not trusting the mainstream skepticism is always a worthwhile endeavor but i think that constantly existing in a mindset like that will make you an extremely unhealthy individual not to mention i think that always buying into these mentalities will make you very susceptible to buying his products that being said perhaps there is a point to be made about all the people that review these products looking like the embodiment of soy alex may actually believe that these products will work for him he may think that they don't work and be promoting them anyway he may not know whether or not they work and just sort of show them on a whim unfortunately we have no way of knowing thank you alex i will now take two droppers to test this ultimate male vitality for me oh my god what the hell wait wait wait get out of here shut this down this is not safe taking a look at some more reviews for his stuff i noticed more of a mixed bag well every major news outlet that i could find talking about his products reported on it in a negative light sometimes implying or directly calling him a scammer and at other times being as dramatic as to call his business a snake oil empire don't pay for the supplements on youtube there are hundreds of reviews posted by people who aren't affiliated with media outlets and there i was able to find some diversity with the opinions the general consensus that i got from watching a few of these reviews was that all of alex's products are safe some of them like knockout seem to work pretty effectively but a lot of them are also just products that you could basically buy elsewhere for cheaper and with a higher concentration of the advertised ingredient something's wrong helping ladies and gentlemen we did not intend for that to happen i take it personally do not have those problems what i can't say with confidence is that i won't be buying his stuff anytime soon now i'm sure that you remember that large increase in relevancy around january of 2013 which i mentioned very specifically for a reason during this time alex would be introduced to a large portion of the american public by a series of reports by the media due to his comments about something that had happened the month prior right here in newtown connecticut the site today of a mass shooting and this time gunfire aimed at elementary school children we're here in front of the newtown united methodist church where we've watched people gathering all evening long as tonight the details are still pouring in there are 27 victims 20 children seven adults the bodies of those children are still in the school 18 children died in the school were dead on the scene two more were taken to the hospital and died there and those six adults also who died at the school their bodies are still there you count 9-1-1 what's the location of the emergency new york school i think there's somebody shooting in here sandy hook school okay what makes you think that because somebody said god i saw a glimpse of somebody they're running down the hallway okay they're still running they're still shooting uh sandy hook school please i believe this shooting after he fired 154 shots in two not as some originally reported three newtown classrooms mere words cannot match the depths of your sorrow nor can they heal your wounded hearts you're not alone in your grief on december 14 2012 20 year old adam lanza walks into sandy hook elementary school armed with an ar-15 rifle he shot through the glass planes in the front door to get into the building at which time the morning announcements were being given over the school intercom many heard the gunfire over the announcements as lanza shot his way through the front office slaying both the school principal and the school psychologist of the students that heard the gunfire on the intercom 20 would die [Music] in the following weeks and months media coverage continued on the tragedy and it felt like the entire nation was in mourning the idea that 20 innocent first graders had their lives taken from them and their families their futures stolen it's hard to stomach to say the least i live in new england and i remember being in school around the time that the shooting occurred national coverage of the situation soon began and it had become one of the most infamous shootings in the united states if not the world in the following days police officers armed with rifles and shotguns would be roaming the halls and stationing themselves outside worried that someone else would be inspired by lance's actions while it's easy to point out how small and scandal sandy hook was in proportion to the country's total population its effects have been undeniable before lanza left for school that morning he used his rifle to kill his mother nancy in their home after the rampage at the school adam used his handgun to take his own life 27 innocent people were gone less than two weeks before christmas the shooting also gave major momentum to the gun control movement raising questions of background checks and high capacity magazines and whether or not they should be allowed and as expected mr jones was on the case in the weeks following the tragedy alex reported on a number of what he saw as anomalies from the incident at one point he even said that he felt that the shooting was an outright hoax created by the government and that all the parents were actors but it took me about a year with sandy hook to come to grips with the fact that the whole thing was fake sandy hook is a synthetic completely fake with actors in my view manufactured the optics on alex's part were terrible and i think that most people would agree that his conduct here was less than stellar especially just days and weeks after it happened and people were in mourning i understand that alex believed that these people were acting but i still think that exercising a little sympathy would have gone a very long way his comments on the situation have reportedly caused harassment towards many of the families of the victims from alex's fans and multiple lawsuits have been filed against alex in the years following the situation it also allowed the media to report on what he said and basically draw his reputation into the ground for it not that people's perception of him was really that great to begin with and while i agree that what alex did was wrong i feel like he gets too much [ __ ] for it he's apologized repeatedly he clearly has at least tried to make amends and i don't think that he deserves to have this incident be his legacy the sandy hook situation is what most know alex for and it's what they instantly bring up to discredit him or simply to explain who he is to others but i think that looking over his entire career using that incident to entirely represent him is rather disingenuous initially alex's lawyer claimed that he was simply acting hyperbolically and playing a character but according to alex he was enduring some kind of psychosis at the time because of the media constantly reporting on him so he felt like everything was a lie whether or not this is true i can't say you'll just have to take alex's word for it really but i kind of realized a few years ago that i kind of had my own mild psychosis and that when you've been lied about the media and the culture so much over and over again everything then starts becoming automatically you're sure it's fake and then everything you see fits into that i never said go investigate did you ever say that you think it's not real yes i did but now you do think it's real because i learned some of the anomalies were not accurate as i've shown in this video alex has had a pretty long career in journalism and being a tv personality stretching more than two decades using one incident in which he made a mistake for which he has repeatedly apologized and tried to fix what he did wrong seems very slimy to me and i'm not willing to write off everything that alex does because of a character flaw that he has being that he has trouble articulating himself and is clearly very obsessive this isn't to say that what he did was okay or to admonish him completely it still happened and we should remember it but citing him as the guy who said sandy hook was fake comes across like a lie to me simply pushing the most negative event from his career to the forefront rather than explaining his life as a whole joe rogan's podcast episodes with alex have helped change public opinion a lot on this subject no doubt supplemented by the ridiculous amount of views that the episodes with alex get but to a large portion of the american public alex is still the crazed conspiracy theorist who says the tragedies didn't happen i never sent anybody the houses but i apologize it was taken out of context people have a right to question but i i'm sorry for the families and i'm sorry for your hurt and i get it and i've experienced crazy people now big time just like you have please stop saying that i'm saying it didn't happen please stop saying i'm sending people people's houses because here's what happens when they put it on every major tv channel local tv channels radio i mean i mean thousands of articles that didn't get syndicated and i said 100 000 articles that's a low number the amount of sandy hook coverage against me has been so insane and so huge because it's supposed to be the first domino that once i'm taken down then all the dominoes fall well it's also click bait there's also a thing if you say alex jones sandy hook and you put in a title a certain amount of people just gonna click on it alex jones is still pushing a sandy hook conspiracy theories one that i saw just two days ago now that we know what alex has gotten wrong let's talk about what he got right [Music] four years ago the united states was a bit of a mess in a lot of ways this isn't to say that most of those problems still aren't prevalent now but the year as a whole was somewhat of a perfect storm the presidential election was set to come to a head of the end of the year with trump and hillary supporters as passionate and in some cases vicious as ever an ideological divide within each political party was starting to really rear its head fuel no doubt by the media coverage of the election and the mounting fear that the country is broken and needed to be fixed on the right white nationalists marched in charlottesville and clashed with other demonstrators prompting a major police presence as well as a mainstreaming of terms like alt-right on the left socialism became much more mainstream with candidates like aoc and bernie sanders and antifa clashed on the streets against mega supporters the far right and police with right-wing speakers having rioters follow them to nearly every college campus the country looked more like 1930s europe than anything that the united states had been exposed to in decades infowars was at one of its heights of popularity with the election providing alex with plenty of opportunities to create interesting content for his viewers and give his opinions on the current state of affairs with him mostly targeting the democratic party and candidates like hillary clinton one of the biggest events in the conspiracy theory world happened during this somewhat toxic political climate and became as popular as it did because of this pressure cooker that the country was in at the time in march of 2016 the emails of campaign manager for hillary clinton john podesta were released by wikileaks coming through these emails appeared to be many references to a child trafficking ring where children were being exchanged for money by people in power the name pizzagate comes from the belief that references to pizza and these emails were actually code words used to discuss these children that were being sold a number of people on the right including mike cernovich britney pettibone and of course alex jones promoted the conspiracy you want us to cover pizzagate we have covered it we are covering it and all i know is god help us we're in the hands of pure evil alex ended up largely taking the fall for the situation once the pizzagate theory was supposedly debunked doing a quick search for the term on google today will bring you to pages where it is claimed to be fake news and most say that there is no validity to the theory the pizzagate wikipedia page reads as follows pizzagate is a debunked conspiracy theory that went viral during the 2016 united states presidential election it has been extensively discredited by a wide range of organizations including the metropolitan police department of the district of columbia most in the public saw the conspiracy is nothing more than that a theory which many thought had been completely proven false the way that a number of people found out about this was from american talk show host painting those who believe it as crazy while simultaneously doing a very poor job of addressing the actual arguments at hand and the craziest fake news of all is something called pizzagate a california exclusive tonight on the conspiracy theory that came to be known as pizzagate it's centered around pizzagate the debunked internet conspiracy theory i don't blame these people for not believing i don't think that anyone would want to it seems somewhat far-fetched that politicians who have the most to lose out of anyone really would be involved in child trafficking and a massive ring of abuse it seems ridiculous and far-fetched and there definitely isn't any proof for such a thing taking place oh wait billionaire businessman jeffrey epstein was arrested in new york saturday on federal charges related to sex trafficking jeffrey epstein brought underage girls here to his sprawling caribbean estate that such a high profile inmate as jeffrey epstein was able to apparently take his own life weeks after attempting suicide multimillionaire jeffrey epstein we were underage we were little girls jeffrey epstein pictured with the prince bill clinton posing with jeffrey epstein's girlfriend gillane maxwell over the past six months jeffrey epstein has become one of the most talked about people in the world the disgrace to financier who's been accused of more than 40 counts of sexual assault and has been subject of legal investigations for more than a decade was arrested earlier this year on charges of trafficking minors in florida and new york media coverage of the situation was rampant over the next few days with leaks about the investigation and the situation as a whole being released to the public through the news media reports of his connections with some of the wealthiest people across the globe a private island he owned where parties were hosted with people like bill clinton and donald trump dozens of young girls who were victims some as young as 13 years old it was one of the largest scandals of the past few years and one that no doubt will be remembered for decades to come just four days after his arrest epstein was found dead in his cell the official story is that he committed suicide but uh well we all know what most people think of that one google consistently ranks him as an extremely relevant search term and as updates keep rolling in things look more and more grim and suspicious missing security camera footage from his cell guards that can't seem to corroborate what did or didn't happen and autopsy reports that are consistent with everything but the official story raising questions about whether or not the government can even be trusted to carry out prosecuting people like this things just don't seem to add up and the stories capture the interests of people across the globe the knowledge that a number of people in power have been involved in a child trafficking ring led by a guy that seemed to know everyone who ever was anyone is just now commonly accepted by a large portion of the american public and when the guy who had been promoting the conspiracy theory for years and years ended up being right nobody bats an eye with people associated with the clintons jeffrey epstein the billionaire pedophile convicted with links to bill clinton kevin spacey robert maxwell and prince andrew and there's more coming up the sex slave scandal that exposed pedophile billionaire jeffrey epstein we've got laura silsby who works for the or did work for the clinton foundation convicted of smuggling out children from haiti and that ties into all the news headlines we're seeing right now about all the missing kids in dc that's why people are so concerned keep in mind that this clip is over two years old far before the epstein scandal became known to the public eye somehow alex is still the insane conspiracy theorist who only says things that are untrue for attention and never gets anything right the mainstream media continues to mock him on a daily basis and give less than charitable reports on his actions simply doing a youtube search for his term will give you an endless supply of clips from tv stations reporting on his theories and the drama that he has become known for that's what infowars founder alex jones is saying caused him to believe events like the sandy hook massacre were staged popular far-right radio show host and conspiracy theorist alex jones yeah they've been followed they've been videotaped a man went to prison for threatening the death of those parents we just heard from unbelievable so much trauma so much pain his listeners to investigate the case themselves and one did bringing a semi-automatic rifle to the shop and firing several rounds you want to talk about the media targeting donald trump have a look at their love of covering alex it seems that with every minor controversy they're ready to fire up their cameras and accuse him of slander allegedly of course allegedly they've also compared him to the president on a number of times pointing out some similarities with their mannerisms and rhetoric and to some extent you can't exactly blame them just doing their job and reporting what will get them the most attention the same as alex does he certainly acts in a less than professional manner on a consistent basis so it's not like none of the blame for him being lampooned time and time again can be placed on himself but the point stands that when alex is right no one bats nigh for years alex has been discussing how there are security tape recordings of those in power doing rather unsavory things with underage girls everyone simply wrote it off as the ramblings of a madman some of what alex says may seem outlandish at first but don't write it off completely just because the media tells you to his words often bear much more truth than most would want you to think a lot of people seem to think that alex is nothing but a paranoid rambling madman who thinks that everyone is out to get him and that he believes us unjustifiably some of us won't make it personally through this but a lot of us are and in the end you are going to be brought to justice for all the kids you've kidnapped for cps all you cps workers all you corrupt bureaucrats all of you that have had your way with innocent children over and over again who think you're evil's invincible you're not invincible and god is going to deal with you and you are cursed to hell i think for a decent amount of time that was probably not a completely ridiculous explanation especially to those who don't know much about alex and haven't taken the time to look more into who he is and what he stands for to be honest i was more or less a detractor of alex and saw him as exactly that a lunatic and i still think to this day that it is important to take what he says with a grain of salt as you should probably do with any new source what the hell if we become we just offer our children up to the system with the fluoride and the water and the gmo hurting them and we let fat perverts grab them at the airport to train them for the pedophile government and we've just got such a sick society but if there's one way to validate his opinion that people with money and power are trying to censor him well it's for exactly that to happen why are we still here [Music] just to suffer every night i can feel my leg during the summer of 2018 alex was essentially wiped off of the face of the internet sure the infowars website is still up but every major platform for video and audio hosting deleted all of his content within 24 hours of each other no doubt cutting off a significant amount of revenue and preventing him from gathering new viewers now alex is pretty okay his website receives a lot of traffic as is and because of his notoriety he has a big enough core fan base that he can make it on his own but the precedence that's being set by alex's termination is what should concern people from the far right to the far left and everywhere in between every post he had ever made every video he had ever uploaded every comment that people had ever left on those videos all gone in the blink of an eye he was effectively de-platformed he was censored one of the most common responses that i'll see to me and others pointing out alex's censorship or the censorship of others is that facebook and youtube are private companies and they can do what they want on a legal technicality you're right all these companies are owned by private citizens they are free to enforce all of their own rules and act according to whoever they want however if you're operating under the assumption that everything that is legal is also just then you're already coming at the argument from a flawed perspective and from an ethical standpoint i find what happened to alex to be terrifying whether or not you like him or agree with what he has to say what occurred here absolutely was a violation of free speech these companies have a monopoly on the way that information is exchanged online there are no alternatives to sites like youtube or services like spotify i mean sure you can go to vimeo or dailymotion but the audiences there aren't nearly comparable you won't be able to reach even 1 100th of the people that you would on youtube a few companies headed by a few people control the way that we exchange information online they control what information can be posted which opinions can be accessed and who can be heard alex is a voice for those who question authority and for a lot of people he is their source of news removing him from these platforms raises a number of questions alex was officially banned for hate speech but what is hate speech how can you label what alex does is different from anyone else on the platform is it right to silence those who are controversial for the sake of simply saving face in the public eye was alex censored because he was too controversial or because what he was saying was right i don't think it's insane to think that if alex is promoting ideas that have some merit then those in positions of power who stand to benefit from having of silence would want him to shut up this attitude that companies should be able to do whatever they want isn't going away anytime soon recently 60 minutes did a segment about youtube and censorship where they being 60 minutes tried to advocate for the position that youtube should take an ethical stance against the kind of content allowed on their site but the private sector is not legally beholden to the first amendment you're not operating under some freedom of speech mandate you get to pick we do but we think there's a lot of benefit from being able to hear from groups and underrepresented groups that otherwise we never would have heard from wojisky explained that videos are allowed as long as they don't cause harm but her definition of harm can seem narrow when the message coming from the mainstream media is the censorship is okay as long as it's a private company doing it then it should be obvious to most people that free speech has become a big concern in the past few years and it has many worrying about whether or not alex is just the start no matter who you are no matter what you say you should not have your accounts deleted or have your opinion silenced removing one person sets the dangerous precedent that others can be removed and if alex can be deleted then anyone can [Music] so [Music] i think one of the main criticisms that i will receive for this video is that i have gone too easy on alex many will point to instances where he has acted insensitively to explain why he is a bad person and many will also reference clips where he's acted pretty wacky and i'm not denying that alex is pretty nuts sometimes it's one of the reasons why you should probably not take everything he says as fact but to me that's part of what makes him great i think that whether or not you completely agree with what alex has to say there's a lot to respect about the guy sure it's easy to just see him as a meme and act like he's a complete joke hell i've done my fair share of alex posting in a somewhat mocking way and no one would blame you for that i certainly don't alex conducts himself in a very odd manner pretty often from his pretty corny ads for supplements like fish oil and products like super beta prostate him ripping his shirt off while live on the air screaming at the top of his lungs like a lunatic to harassing senator marco rubio there is absolutely no shortage of somewhat embarrassing clips of alex up to all of his tomfoolery alex didn't come from a family that was connected to the media he didn't go to an ivy league college he didn't suck up to anyone at some large company to get where he is now he started on public access television and radio when he was kicked off he took to the internet and grew a bonafide media empire with the help of just a few other people he created his own news network with professional studios an entire team of staff and millions of listeners rivaling the largest news networks in the nation and all without needing to be on network television some estimate that his show rakes in 20 million dollars a year and to be honest i wouldn't be surprised if it was much higher than that when he was kicked off of youtube apple and facebook on the same day he got inside of an armored car and drove to rallies with a megaphone screaming about jeffrey epstein and hillary clinton he's a testament to the power of the internet and its ability to allow anyone with a vision to grow an audience naturally and go from being a member of the fringe to an advocate for them in the mainstream and it's evident that he and his associates are here to stay for better or for worse the man is a king if ever there was one this is alex jones this is the infowar what you're not an electable all righty wow it's it's finally done um this video has taken a very long time to make so firstly allow me to thank all of you for watching it all the way to the end in some ways it has been you know one of my favorite videos to make and in some ways it has definitely been my least favorite but regardless i hope that all of you enjoyed watching it be sure to check out my other videos if you like this one and follow my friend who is not me at zaptie on twitter i'll see you guys next time [Music]
