Alex Jones predicts false flag events to preemptively provide alternative explanations for potential failures or backlash against Trump and Musk.

Alex knows that there's a pretty good chance of them doing something that causes massive social backlash, like taking down the Social Security payment functions. And Alex needs a story ahead of time to explain why it's a false flag. Alex's storylines are largely based in trying to preemptively pitch alternative explanation for things he's worried about derailing the extreme right-wing takeover of the country. When he says that he's worried about the globalists that are going to do a big false flag racist car bombing, it's because he's concerned that if a big racist car bombing happens, it risks revealing to the center and the moderate types in this country just how bigoted the GOP has become. It could be a wake-up call that would be meaningful, and it would hurt Alex's business, which is either full of racist or people who have been paid to be racist by the USAID in order to make Alex look racist. When Alex says the globalists are going to do a cyber attack to stop Musk, it's because he knows that there's a good chance that Musk is going to fuck something up majorly. And this could be the impetus for him losing all public support. And that could end up with Musk being required to get congressional approval for his actions, and then before you know it, he can't do any of the destructive shit that he's trying to do. The gamble Alex has is that the narrative and the conversation guide politics. And if he and his side can control that narrative, they control political power. This is Alex's largest market value. He tries to identify possible problems to the narrative and come up with alternative explanations for them in advance.

Alex Jones strategically shifted his narrative from natural causes to arson to generate attention and financial gain by adopting a contrarian stance.

This is how easy it is for Alex to convince himself of something. The thing that I want to highlight is that this is not a product of his stupidity. This is striking while the iron is hot. This is craft. Alex sees an opportunity here. There's a massively traumatic world event that will be getting a lot of attention in the coming days. And he's seen it get a lot of play in the Golden Globes. So it's a perfect place for him to plant his flag. That's what connects his initial position with his new one. They're both contrarian to the rest of the world. Like the rest of the world has a position, and he's pushing back against it. They're meant to be optically subversive and present some kind of elevated understanding of what's going on in the rest of the world that no one else has access to. When the show began, Alex didn't have a good angle on the conspiracy for this because he's not that creative. He steals pretty much every idea he's ever had, from his 9-11 prediction to the Hillary for Prison bumper stickers to the catchphrase about the answer to 1984 being 1776. Steals everything. Alex cannot create. He can only absorb. So the best he could do at the beginning of the show was to be a contrarian who says that you don't understand how controlled burns work. You're getting all hysterical about climate change. Whereas Alex understands everything. He's Zen. He knows that this will just lead to better crops. Then he gets a call from a nutty Australian lady and she reads blogs he doesn't even have time to read anymore. So she repeats the popular conspiracy lying to him and he recognizes that's probably got more juice in it than this condescending controlled burn bullshit. That's some good stuff. So he jumps on it. This is how it sounds to me. I might be wrong, but what I know for sure is that Alex isn't basing this narrative on anything real. He's making a strategic decision based on what he thinks will make him more interesting and probably lead to a better financial outcome for him. More attention, more, you know, anytime there's hot-button issues, staking some sort of a claim that is counter to what everyone else believes is a way to try and filter people in. Like, oh, that's interesting. Let's see what this guy has to say. That's all this is.
