The media puts out a buffet of lies for people to select from and adopt as identities.

And I just see mesmerized populations who've taken on false identities that the media hung out. The media puts out a buffet of lies for you and all these different selections and all these different flavors and all these different ideas. And they lay them out there for you.

Alex Jones is making up stories about the ICE shooting based on video snippets to justify his predetermined narrative.

Alex knows nothing about this situation. He's just making stuff up about the little snippets of video he's cold watching on the show and then trying to use whatever details he sees as proof of his predetermined narrative. There's a bloody airbag because this person rammed an ICE vehicle before getting shot. That's a possibility that Alex sees as maybe working to justify the shooting. So he's throwing it out there. That's probably what happened because that works for me.

07 Nov 2025
Someone is curating the right-wing media bubble to drive a wedge between factions using Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson.

Someone has decided to curate our bubble and say, drive a wedge from right to right about Israel, anti-Semitism, use Nick Fuentes and their hero, Tucker Carlson, and make that separate the right. And we are all falling for it.

15 Sep 2025
Fox News created a trap for Elizabeth Warren regarding political violence rhetoric.

Fox News's spin on the story created an opportunity to trap Warren in a situation where no matter what she says, it plays into Fox's narrative. If she responds like this, they can say that she refuses to take responsibility for the violent rhetoric of the left. If she's conciliatory and says that both sides are heated, they can say that she admitted that the left is too violent. This is a game.

21 Mar 2025
Elon Musk is dishonestly pretending to ask questions about government spending while actually pushing a firm narrative.

And Musk gives up the game when he says, can anyone tell me why this money was spent? When he does that, because it's transparently dishonest. He's playing the same game that folks like Alex have for years where you pretend to ask questions when in reality you have a very firm answer that you're pushing and again this goes back to the like the ways that these people do make sense together yeah they play similar games yeah uh even if the boards they're on are very different yeah and it's predicated almost in Mm-hmm.

21 Feb 2025
Alex Jones is pretending that Kaja Kallas's comments were recent when they were from nine months ago.

I'm not sure I fully agree with her perspective, but she wasn't making the point that Alex and the right wing media have claimed she was and Alex is pretending this was something that she just said, not something from nine months ago.

30 Dec 2024
Alex Jones is lying about Jamie Raskin's statements regarding the election certification.

So if you pay attention, you'll notice Alex pulling a familiar trick with saying that Raskin's been all over TV saying their plan is to not certify Trump's election win. But mysteriously, the only clip he plays is that out-of-context one from a while back, which doesn't say what Alex claims it does. He's doing the same thing he did with the Hill op-ed, where there's one data point that he shows to the audience while insisting that it's a representative of hundreds of others. But it's not. It's just a single stray data point deprived of its proper context that Alex is then using to build a lie.

20 Dec 2024
Alex Jones uses the credibility of his serious investigator persona to sell white identity ideology and extreme right-wing Christian nationalism.

One of the things that gives Alex the power, the power to the content that he has, it's the ability to take the image of being serious and funneling that towards extreme ideas. He pretends to be an intrepid and virilever, investigator who just covers what he can prove based on the secret documents and deep level sources that he has. He takes that credibility that the character he's created implies, then he uses that to sell the audience white identity ideology and extreme right-wing Christian nationalism as a If the facts are the devil's fucking with you, then the devil's fucking with you.

20 Dec 2024
Tucker Carlson built the credibility of a respectable newsman to sell similar religious messaging.

Tucker is engaged in a similar pivot, where he's built up the credibility of the character of a newsman, broadcasting a respectable show on cable TV, which he's now deploying to sell similar religious messaging. There's an insidiousness to this whole project because folks like Tucker and Alex only operate like this because they know that they couldn't sell their message any other way.

09 Dec 2024
The media narrative about Trump using the military is based on a script provided by globalists to create false uproars.

So this was at the end of a very long rant where Alex was arguing that the media is talking about the danger of Trump using the military as a domestic police force because they had a script that the globalists had given them, which was meant to create false uproats. memorizing that Trump would need to use the military to suppress, thereby trapping him into using the military as a domestic police force.

04 Dec 2024
Alex Jones's communication style is designed to overwhelm critical thinking skills and trigger emotions rather than convey factual information.

Unless you're putting a ton of effort and attention into it, the human brain isn't designed to take in information the way Alex conveys it. He rattles off a ton of bullshit and jumps from topic to topic so frequently that a passive listener would have very little chance of even keeping up with what he's saying from moment to moment. It's a bad way to convey information where it matters if what you're saying is true or not because it's meant to overwhelm your critical thinking skills. However, it's very good as an emotional trigger where Alex rants and then he just keeps going, bringing up emotionally painful shit and fake crying and describing snuff films and that's where he can get you. He could never win an actual information and fact-based debate, but he can do a hell of a tent revival speech.

04 Nov 2024
Tucker Carlson participated in the documentary to promote Orthodox religious propaganda.

It's such a fraud, which only becomes more clear when you realize that Tucker is being interviewed in this documentary, fully aware of who's making it and why. You know this because the film was directed by Scooter Downey, a dude who produced and worked for Tucker Carlson's show from 2021 to 2023. The surface story here is that Tucker's a fucking lunatic who believes he was attacked in the night by a demon, but the actual story is a little bit worse. Whether he believes it or not, Tucker is allowing this documentary to tell his story of being attacked by a demon as part of the media blitz for their film, which is a disingenuous and manipulative charade of exploring Christianity in service of promoting the Orthodox Church.

25 Oct 2024
Alex Jones's public legend is constructed from tiny edited clips designed to make him appear prescient.

I think it's so fascinating, Alex's legend thing, because substantively, his legend is based off of the tiny little clips of edited together stuff to make him look like he's prescient. But it's also combined with him doing so many hours and being so bullshit and saying so many lies that you don't, that you just assume there's more than those tiny little clips.

07 Oct 2024
The release of new Joker movies is a deliberate strategy to trigger civil war and riots if Trump wins the election.

Yeah, and they brought out the first Joker about rioting and killing police and overthrowing society for the summer of Raids 2000. Now the new joker is coming out with all these other movies about martial law and civil war, how cool it is to burn down America. They're gearing up in case Trump wins. That movie comes out right then. How's the other Civil War movie in with them killing the Trump figure? So, yeah, they're planning to trigger a Civil War.

04 Oct 2024
Darren Beattie intentionally smuggled conclusions into his reporting to provide emotionally satisfying explanations for unknown information.

Darren Beattie is smuggling conclusions into this story in a way that's very intentional. There's no more information publicly available about this guy, so maybe he went to Ukraine. Maybe he has a suspicious travel history in Ukraine. It's all a cover-up. That makes sense. It seems entirely likely that there's no public information about this because the police questioned him, and it was a sincere mistake on his part, so they decided not to charge him. If he imperfectly trained his dog to smell bombs and in good faith reported what he thought was... Not going to help anybody. Absolutely not. Yeah. But Darren Beattie is trying to do this thing where he's an idiot, but his tactics aren't stupid. Right. He's operating in a space of unknown information and provides the audience with emotionally satisfying explanations for why they don't know a particular thing and then gives them a conclusion that matches up with the shit he's selling.

30 Aug 2024
Alex Jones is using a video of a domestic violence incident to incite racial and xenophobic hatred.

The issue here was one of domestic violence, but Alex is using this to depict some kind of random migrant crime wave, even though it's over a year old as a video and doesn't relate really. This is a dude who's trying to incite hatred on racial and xenophobic lines.

21 Aug 2024
The clip of Michael Moore praising Trump is selectively edited to remove the context that Trump will disappoint supporters.

So this is a really good indication of how Alex's show is basically just the right-wing social media meme recap show. This clip of Michael Moore was making the rounds, but it's not new. It's been posted around on social media a number of times, but it traces back to Moore's one-man show from 2016 called Michael Moore in Trumpland. This clip is selectively edited, of course, to remove the context of what he said. Naturally. In the part that's played, Moore is expressing what the allure of Trump is and how he represents a big middle finger that people want to give to the man. If you watch the rest of what he's saying, Moore goes on to explain that Trump is never going to do the things he says that you like, that you want to happen, and you're going to be disappointed once the feeling of throwing up that middle finger wears off. So this is just like, I don't know, eight-year-old clip with swelling music behind it being presented dishonestly.

19 Aug 2024
Alex Jones selectively edited a clip of a British judge to make it appear the judge sentenced a man for comments about migrants, when the sentence was actually for inciting violence.

So you can see here how this clip that Alex has of the judge is selectively edited to make it appear like he's sentencing the guy to 20 months for his comments about migrants when in reality it was him inciting violence at a specific place at a specific time. Alex and his ilk need to play fraudulent games like this because without that trickery there's no content for Alex's internal monologue.

01 Jul 2024
Alex Jones is fabricating claims that CNN gave Biden more time to create a narrative that works regardless of the outcome.

And he's just making up the CNN numbers like, oh, they're giving more time to it. But that's the track that's already been laid. Yeah. And it works either way. If Trump's dominating, even with Biden having more time, it still works.

19 Apr 2024
Alex Jones exaggerates the frequency of food plant fires to exploit cognitive bias and sell a narrative that globalists want to shut down the food supply.

What Alex is doing is exploiting a bias that all our minds have where once something is pointed out to us, we start to see more examples of that thing and then start to create connections between those things. In reality, there are hundreds of food processing plant fires every year and have been forever. largely due to insufficient enforcement of regulations and the fact that everything that's being processed is flammable and the processing itself uses heat most of the time. But for the most part, people don't really notice that this is happening because a lot of the times the fires aren't very major. And even if they are, it's pretty easy to understand how this works. It's just a part of doing business. But now, a major plotline of the right-wing media is that the globalists want to shut down the food supply. This narrative rising up was driven by a number of variables, with the biggest probably being the supply chain crunch during COVID, disruption caused by Russia invading Ukraine, and a financial incentive rooted in most of these outlets being sponsored by emergency food bucket companies. It's a lucrative fear narrative for the outlets like Alex's, so you've seen him jump on it and just wildly exaggerate everything for the sake of keeping it interesting. He's doing this because he knows that there's a subconscious bias in the brain where he implants this idea, then when you're going about your life and you hear about his news story about a food plant fire, it'll connect to what he said and feel like confirmation of the underlying narrative that Alex has sold you.

12 Apr 2024
Top PR firms orchestrated a campaign to demonize Alex Jones and Donald Trump by taking statements out of context and rigging court cases.

The PR firms, some of the top ones in the world, after they rigged those cases, bragged, oh, this is how we did it. We didn't like Jones. We didn't like Trump. We went and took what he said out of context, blew it up really huge, acted in the present tense like I was doing things I never did. Ran all these stories, got him sued, rigged the court cases, wouldn't let us defend ourselves, told my hundreds of millions of dollars that I made money off these people.

04 Mar 2024
Alex Jones frequently asserts that news outlets reported stories he wants to promote, even when those reports did not actually occur.

This is hardly the first time that she's talked to Alex, though, so I have no doubt that she understands that when Alex says that something was reported in some outlet, there's no reason to assume it actually was. But when he says something like that, you know he's not gonna budge. So you might as well just let him have his way, move forward.

04 Mar 2024
Alex Jones fudges information to fit a narrative that globalists rigged the election.

You can see the difference between the way Alex reports this story and the actual details of what happened. He fudges every bit of information he can so it'll fit the predetermined narrative, which is that the globalists screwed up.

05 Feb 2024
Alex Jones uses emotion to override critical thinking skills in his audience.

He sincerely believes the hateful points that he's making, but all that emotion is a farce. It's meant to inject his points into the emotional processing parts of the audience's brain instead of the parts where he's making an argument and showing facts. He wants you to emotionally feel these things he's saying to override critical thinking skills. Because that's all he can do.

26 Jan 2024
Alex Jones misrepresents statistics regarding the Ebola vaccine to create a sensational narrative.

So in that clip, you see the layers of made-up shit that Alex is working with. He says that people in other states are being given the shot. Can't prove that unless, but he's just talking about his trials, clinical trials. Yeah. And it was approved in 2019. Right. I don't know. So he's misrepresenting the 31% shedding number and making up out of thin air that people got sick because of it. He was making up that the Pfizer and Moderna shots caused shedding. Those are mRNA shots and literally cannot cause shedding because you aren't even being given a weakened version of the virus.

22 Jan 2024
Alex Jones fabricates details about the Nicholas Gombos case to make his subject appear blameless and build a narrative of police oppression.

For instance, in that clip, Alex says that Nicholas asked people if he could take the chicken, and they said it was fine. That never happened. And if you read the source that Alex himself is citing, they make it very clear that he visited the store after hours. There was no one there to get permission from, but Alex knows that if he lies about that, it makes his subject seem more blameless, and that helps him build the vibe of outright Somewhat comical police oppression.

18 Dec 2023
News Channel 6 edited their article to remove the quote where dissenting judges called the ruling the road to hell.

But what's interesting about the original article that we posted from News Channel 6... They've actually gone in there and amended the article, and they've taken out the quote where the two dissenting judges called this the road to help.

10 Nov 2023
Matthew Hurtt used his connections in the conservative movement to push a video online, causing it to go viral.

I think that, you know, being there and having the presence of mine to film it. And then to immediately get it online. You know, if you think about it, this happened at 9 a.m. Eastern yesterday. It was up by 9.10. And so as we go into the news cycle and a program like this, producers and reporters are looking for stories. I'm pretty well connected in the conservative movement with reporters and with others. He literally said that. And so friends of mine pushed this out. It's got over 11 million views now from my own Twitter account today.

16 Oct 2023
Alex Jones's claim of predicting the attack is a misrepresentation of a clip about neo-Nazi groups to drive traffic to Infowars.

Alex was trying to run cover for the neo-Nazi groups that were popping up last month, and people were discussing. He was trying to claim that these groups were fronts for the ADL, and the fact that they were appearing in public was a precursor to one of them carrying out an attack on a U.S. synagogue or school. He was predicting violence against Jewish people, but the context was entirely different. Alex is very obviously dealing with his entire world event by making it about himself. The Hamas attack into Israel is about trying to take his guns. The ADL is saying everything is anti-Semitic to make Alex feel bad. He's so right about everything that he predicted this, uh, last month. It's a really grotesque way to engage with the world, but it's very in line with Alex's narcissism. He's playing out his fantasies of everything being about him in front of his wide audience, and it's fascinating that anyone thinks they're watching anything deeper than that. It should be a huge tip-off that Alex is really just about self-aggrandizement if you watch this video that purports to have predicted the attack, and you'll see it's a completely unrelated context. Alex and his staff took the time to find this clip, isolate it, and post it on his website with the headline, Alex predicts attacks on Israel, specifically so they could drive traffic to Infowars under false pretenses.

16 Oct 2023
Alex Jones edited a video clip to falsely claim he predicted the Hamas attack on Israel, when the original context was about neo-Nazis.

It should be a huge tip-off that Alex is really just about self-aggrandizement if you watch this video that purports to have predicted the attack, and you'll see it's a completely unrelated context. Alex and his staff took the time to find this clip, isolate it, and post it on his website with the headline, Alex predicts attacks on Israel, specifically so they could drive traffic to Infowars under false pretenses.

13 Oct 2023
The establishment created Glenn Beck as a fraudulent version of Alex Jones to lure people away.

I did not expect that the presentation of this would be that Alex is so popular and the public is so into what he's doing that the establishment has had to create a fake hymn in Glenn Beck in order to lure people away or something. That's interesting because it's not just somebody who's a crass opportunist who's using like, hey, you know what? Here's a character, like stealing a gimmick in wrestling. Sure. It's not just that. Someone going into business for themselves by stealing. Yeah. It is the globalists have created Glenn Beck as a fraudulent Alex.

28 Aug 2023
Alex Jones fabricates details and lies to make his conspiracy narrative fit the Associated Press article.

Alex is adding those words because he wants to heighten the drama of the story that he's telling to the audience. The impression they're supposed to have is of jackbooted police holding the line and not letting anyone escape the fire, so you have to understand that he's going to make this article say that, whether it actually does or not. The headline works for Alex's propaganda purposes, but he hasn't actually read the article itself, and as he cold reads it on air, you can get the sense that it's not really fitting the narrative well enough, so he dresses it up with his own editorializing, meant to appear as if it's from the article. This is him defrauding the audience, because he doesn't give a shit about the reality of the things he covers.

28 Aug 2023
Alex Jones deliberately altered the text of an article to change its meaning, which reveals intent to deceive.

When he says the dozen saved themselves thousands died and then the next line in the actual article is... Dozens found themselves caught in a hellscape. Totally. Dozens. It's the word that he used to jump off into his own story. Totally. And it's the opposite of what the article says. Totally. When you do things like that, it does reveal... Intent.

11 Aug 2023
Alex Jones creates a curated version of the internet to make his statements appear widely supported by unrelated sources.

I'm creating my own internet. I'm creating my great firewall version of the internet. I'm doing China's version of the internet. And then, if I say something like this shit, where I'm like, uh, hundreds, thousands of articles, I would have somebody just like throw chunks of text, like what I kind of said, onto different articles all over. So, you could Google something I said, and it'd be like a fucking men's health magazine article from 1974, and it'd still pop up, like, see, I told you this is what it's been. Everybody's saying it, it's everywhere.

07 Aug 2023
Alex Jones uses the label 'Q Shaman' to control the narrative and destroy Jacob Chansley's public image.

Quote, This dude might not be happy to learn that Alex titled this interview, quote, Saturday Special Broadcast, Q Shaman Exposes the Matrix of Death. Or that he's consistently referred to as Q Shaman in episode titles when he's been interviewed in the past. Seems like Alex is trying to control the narrative and destroy his public image through a straw man.

16 Jun 2023
Alex Jones uses graphic violence videos to emotionally manipulate audiences and distract from Trump's indictment.

Well, I mean, it's not hard to draw a direct conclusion that... If Trump was indicted and you don't want to talk about that, you say that he was wrongfully indicted. You do that whole thing. Jack Smith is a fraud. His wife works for Obama. You do the whole thing. And then, to really emotionally hammer the point home, you show a bunch of stabbing videos to get people all riled up and excited about what you said. About how everything is all terrible.
