He's an extreme right-wing Christian fundamentalist. He wants to use the allure of conservative politics and pretending to be interested in the Constitution as a Trojan horse to evangelize to the audience about his very bizarre and white identity-laden version of Christianity, which he wants to be the organizing principle of the world. He believes that the devil is running the globalists, and the only way to defeat them is if the U.S. effectively becomes a theocracy where the secular laws are based on his religious beliefs.

He never had a problem with the police state and all that shit. He just never wanted to get hit with a baton.

So it's very clear to us that Alex's message has always been rooted in white identity and that Nick is exactly the sort of person he would want to promote.

It is counter to the DNA of what he's built over the last 30 years. And to see him saying that kind of shit is just like, that's like me starting a supplement business. It's fucking out of line.

So the retelling of the taking over of the Tea Party, I really think that that highlights the emptiness of Alex's ideology. What did Ron Paul and the Tea Party stand for, if not limited government? What is it saying about Alex that he could take over a movement like that and somehow steer it into a place where he's agreeing with a pro-police state Nazi statist who wants a larger federal government?

But yeah, Alex is definitely taking a shift towards the neo Nazi. It's undeniable.

Definitely not to Alex. Absent a giant fire to exploit emotionally, Alex would strongly defend an insurance company's right to do business how they want.

You know, like, Alex loves the features and hallmarks of dictatorship because he wants a dictator.

And Alex has never grown up. He's never seriously examined those beliefs because why the fuck would he? He got on public access TV pretty young, and really quickly his dad paid for him to get a radio show. After that, he got discovered by a shady, scammy gold salesman who used Alex as the primary advertisement for his precious metal sales. That whole time, he had success, comfort, and relative celebrity, so there's literally no reason to change anything. Interrogating your beliefs to see if they're actually correct is a liability for someone like Alex. You're going to lose money. Yeah. By the time the gold sales sugar daddy situation went away, Alex was already 41 years old and he had his next big thing in the supplements. It was already in motion. There's never been a point in his life where he's had any reason to doubt himself. And the reality that doubting himself and his ideas that could cost him millions of dollars.

You're very eager to deny white supremacist violence, is basically what we're getting at.

I've been saying this for a while, so it's nice for Alex to just stop pretending to be something more than what he actually is. Just an idiot who read JBS books as a kid. Yep. He's not some dude who's done mountains of research into how the supposed New World Order operates. He's a lazy, angry asshole who read shit by Skousen and Gary Allen and G. Edward Griffin and then made it his personality.

When your ideology is based on restriction and exclusion, you cannot have a big tent. The best you can do is have an incredibly small tent and yell outside of it how big it is, which is basically what Alex does with his above-the-left-right paradigm nonsense.

Alex selectively deploys information about what his ideological background is because it's... Yeah. And in a setting like that fucking dumbass documentary, it's not advantageous for him to be like, the John Birch Society or prophets are the best ever. Yeah. He knows that would make him look bad.

That's Alex's ideology, and this shit is totally fine to him, because they aren't people to him. These people are things.

There's a passing of the buck in Alex's politics because he believes that things get done by strong, singular leaders, as opposed to the result of collective action, miscellaneous financial interests, and sometimes coincidences. Bush signing the assault weapons ban, which he didn't do, wouldn't be the result of a ton of influences like millions of people electing members of Congress who would pass legislation for Bush to sign in the first place, or special interest groups lobbying for or against the bill. It would just be a matter of Bush doing this to us because he's bad. If Bush were good, then the millions of voters, or the majorities in Congress, or the lobbying groups, they wouldn't matter. He would just do whatever Alex believed was right, even if doing so meant causing ridiculous political conflicts and possibly torpedoing his own career.

Alex's ideology and worldview is starkly at odds with what he's preaching now because the bedrock of Alex's ideology for his entire career has involved two important concepts: individualism and materialism. Giving these two things such primary focus for his entire career is antithetical to the we're not our bodies nonsense he's preaching now.

He thinks he's fighting the devil. Right, right, right. That seems to be what I'm most interested in. Yes. Because if that's been going on for 18 years, someone should have, you know... We should have a societal understanding that this guy thinks he's the fucking messiah and has nothing to do with banking. Totally, totally. No, no, no. The Fed? Nuh-uh. It's fighting the devil. It's complete nonsense with a little thin veneer of political intrigue in order to trick people into thinking that what they're involved in isn't extremist religion.

He wants a police state in order to avoid a police state.

So Alex gets to talking about this. I think what we hear him say and what him advocate for is separatist communities. Sure. Folks, you want to be scared? They're going to release real bioweapons. So I'm just telling people, you better get yourself together. You better get together with your family. You better do some research. And you better get your asses, like the pilgrims did, out of corrupt Europe to the new world. And the new world is the countryside.

I think that you're always going to find people who are more believing that what they're doing is right when you take the framework of politics and replace it with religion. Now granted, Alex is a crypto-religious fascist who's hiding his religious beliefs behind political messaging.

So anyway, Alex believes that this virus is largely an attack on Trump. That's mostly what's going on. That's the primary thing.

Well, this is because at its core, Alex's ideology is not libertarian or Americana or whatever he pretends it to be. He wants to serve a dictator. And honestly, he couldn't have been more clear about this throughout his career. Yeah, he's a fashion. It just has to be the right dictator. And Trump is that because he believes that his class of person is safe.

I think this is all a little bit silly for Alex, a devout white identity advocate, to be bragging about Trump's non-white support while discussing with a caller how, quote, the streets and Trump can find common ground over their agreement that trans people shouldn't be allowed to exist in public and non-heterosexual couples shouldn't be allowed to marry.

Alex Jones for years has pretended to be a libertarian, and he fetishizes the imaginary free market, but he fails to understand even the basic aspects of this belief system he claims to have. I think that's probably a wise decision because if he actually believed the shit he pretends to, he'd have to openly denounce the Civil Rights Act, support child labor, and if he follows the Mies school, he'd have to believe that, quote, a parent does not have the right to aggress against his child, but also that the parent should not have a legal obligation to feed, clothe, or educate his children.

Alex is hanging around with a bunch of goddamn aggressively Islamophobic people now. He's certainly gone much farther down that path than he was 10 years ago. So now, of course, every single time he sees a Muslim, it's a threat to him. Whereas before, it wasn't. This is not good thinking on his part.

More importantly, I think what you see here is that Alex, given the authority and ability to do so, would be an absolute scourge of a political force. He would be the sort that runs all manner of purity tests and purges in order to make sure the party doesn't have any infiltrators in it.

Yeah, but he agrees with any statement that begins with cleanse and ends with purity. I don't think he worries about the middle ground, or the middle parts of that sentence.

Alex Jones is super into white identity and Christian identity. He extols the virtue of the West, which we've heard him explain repeatedly as more or less just code for white cultures. There's a heavy racial element to what drives Alex. While it's true that his worldview is structurally supported by historical antisemitism, Yeah. In fact, he believes that if you identify by your race, you're falling for a Jewish trick. As he put it, quote, He adheres to a fundamentalist version of Catholicism and views most of the world's history as a battle between Judaism and the Catholic Church, where all of the criticisms you might have about the Catholic Church are really just things that the Jews were at fault for. Sure, there was that whole thing about priests molesting kids, but they only did that because the Jews sexualized society.

I am sad because Alex is clearly... Diving deeper into the overt white nationalist, white supremacist leanings that he has, as demonstrated in that coverage of the New Hampshire couple story, where he's saying that you're allowed to do this because you're brown, and white people need to get guns and get ready to shoot people. That's really fucked up.

He doesn't believe anything except defending masculinity, Christianity, whiteness, and the power hierarchies that are implied within those things. That is it.

It's not just a specific racism. It's a white identity-based worldview, Christian identity, dominionist ideas.

Alex Jones is an overt white nationalist who can't handle criticism from a non-white person, and he'll take any opportunity to scream bullshit in order to defend his positions without making them explicit.

White nationalist, white supremacist ideology has always been a part of his rhetoric, no matter how much he's masked it. And now we also know that a strong desire for that to be brought in through authoritarianism... Fascism, strong-arm tactics, that has also probably always been in his heart.

I think Alex needs to look a little bit deeper into who Bolsonaro is, because his, like, the new Trump down there kind of thing, it really... If he knows anything, it reveals deeply what he's attracted to in Trump. Exactly. And that is a big... Big fucking problem. Yeah. So, anyway, I just played that because that's ugly. And it shows that Alex lusts after authoritarians.

I think that's going to take my research into a whole different ballpark where I'm... Pretty convinced he's been interested in white supremacist groups for the entirety of his career.

And then my theory, my working theory from about two years ago, that Alex was operating a sort of chauvinist white supremacist organization, Media Corporation. So that was sort of the jumping off point for my research.

But I still don't think, like, I think at the end of the day, he's a white supremacist fuck, and I hate him.

I think from what I've gleaned from studying 2009, I think he was a white supremacist from day one.

Most of the time, it's a calculus that people do, and I think Alex has done it with white nationalism to a certain extent.

And Alex's positions are entirely... Which I am a soft no on. Alex's positions are solidly white supremacist.

If you just trade that one word out, you have exactly the narrative that Alex Jones pitches. It's his entire worldview. Just change the word globalist for Jews, and it's coming out of the mouth of legit Nazis rallying in the middle of Europe.

You know what we should just say is Alex is into the sovereignty gospel. Because he does that like, you know, like he talks about the glitter bug churches. And that's the... That's the prosperity gospel.

No, and even then, I think we can move past Islamophobia. Like, that is too much of a subset now for Alex Jones, where it has to be white male supremacy. Right. He is not an Islamophobe. No, that's just a feature. He is a white male supremacist, yeah.

Well, Andy is a boner for strong-arm dudes. He has a boner for authoritarian dictators.

He wants authoritarian rule. Yeah. But it has to be on his terms.

He's starting to show shades of it, and that's weird.

He just sees himself in Russian state media. He just sees familiarity and narratives, and he doesn't realize that it's because he's absorbing their narratives to some extent, and because their narratives are harshly conservative and oppressive.

He's all about freedom, but at the end of the day, his philosophies are incredibly, incredibly oppressive.

But a lot of it. A lot of his ideas about the globalists come directly and spiritually from this text.

The thought that I had was like, the future that Alex Jones wants to live in, a sentence that could be said in that future is... Hey, you remember when people were gay? That was weird. Yeah, you're right. That's the kind of future he wants to live in.
