The quotes attributed to Henry Kissinger and Thomas Jefferson regarding a world government and private banks are fake.

There's no evidence he ever said this. Legend tells of a secret recording that this quote comes from, but that's never been found, and it's complete bullshit. The Jefferson quote is also not real, and it didn't appear anywhere in print until 1933.

The quote attributed to Cicero about traitors being a plague is not authentic and was created by Taylor Caldwell in her 1965 book A Pillar of Iron.

That's not a real Cicero quote. Alex undoubtedly saw this in a meme and just accepted it as true. But in reality, this quote comes from a book called A Pillar of Iron, written by Taylor Caldwell in 1965. Caldwell is basing the book on a lot of real sources about Cicero, but the quotes that are passed around about traitors being the carriers of the plague were all Caldwell's creation.

The quote attributed to Thomas Jefferson stating that firearms restrain evil is not a real quote.

Again, once again, we find Alex Jones quoting Thomas Jefferson, and I want you to guess, is this a real quote? No, it is not. Dan, I will tell you right now, it is not. Easiest trivia game in the world. Yeah, that one was very not hard. For the thousandth time, this is not a real quote.

The fake quote attributed to George Washington was actually written by C.S. Wheatley in 1926.

That quote is from a piece written, most likely. This is what the consensus is on this quote, that it's from a piece written in 1926 by PewDiePie by a guy named C.S. Wheatley in a magazine called Hunter, Trader, Trapper. But Wheatley never tried to pass that off as a quote from Washington. The interpretation that it's a Washington quote is an intentional misreading of his opinion article. He's talking about Washington addressing Congress, and then that paragraph is there, but it's not in quotes.

Alex Jones has highlighted at least four fake quotes in his Endgame documentary without citing sources.

Clip isn't done, but just for fun, just a spoiler alert for the Endgame documentary, Alex Jones highlights at least four quotes that are fake. From that? No, that are straight up fake. And if you look at the bibliography, he has no citing for them because they weren't said by anybody.
