Alex Jones lied about a woman being beaten to death by police, citing a debunked fake video.

Destiny is pointing out that Alex is citing a fake story about a woman being beaten to death, but because Alex knows that Destiny is correct and he's lying about this story, Alex pretends what Destiny is saying is that Ashley Babbitt wasn't shot. Instead of dealing with how he's been called out for an indefensible lie, he's trying to project an indefensible lie. position onto Destiny, which he didn't say. For some context, this is about a deceptively edited video that was pushed in right-wing media that claimed to show police beating Roseanne Boylant, who tragically died that day. She's the person who Glenn Greenwald earlier referred to as the person who died of an amphetamine overdose. This disrespectful-ass fake video was used by shitheads like Alex until it was roundly debunked, but by this point, Alex is counting on people not remembering that it was an edited video. Unfortunately, Destiny knows, so to get himself out of that jam, Alex is forced to pretend Destiny said something entirely different than he did.

Alex Jones knows that Texe Marrs holds anti-Semitic views but hides this fact to avoid turning off his audience.

That may be how Alex wants to present his brand, but that's not what Tex believes, and based on Alex's words, he has absolutely zero reason not to know that. The fact that Alex doesn't want to bring up this belief that his guest has can really only lead me to one conclusion. He knows that it would turn off the audience, and if the audience is turned off, they will immediately reject Tex. If they're led to believe that he's not a bigot in this interview with Alex, Yeah.

Alex Jones edited clips to falsely claim he predicted the Russian invasion of Ukraine, despite previously predicting a war with China.

On February 20th, Alex was probably aware that he'd made a prediction that there would be war by February, or at least he He's aware that he'd been yelling about war being imminent for a while, but he also knew that he'd been saying that it was going to be a war with China. So if there's news coming out about the possibility of Russia being involved in a war, that's not what Alex is looking for. It's not good for the brand. No. Alex loves Putin and hates the United States government, so if an agency within the U.S. government is saying that Putin is going to invade Ukraine, of course that's not true. And Alex's supposed prediction isn't even a factor. doesn't it doesn't come into his mind but then once the actual invasion happens there's a change in the calculation the prediction of war with china didn't materialize but this invasion is close enough for him to use so alex pretends that this is a is what he was talking about the whole time. We heard how in this compilation, he used a clip from last November where he had to edit out the part where he said that he didn't think Russia was going to invade Ukraine.

Alex Jones misrepresented reality regarding the Whitmer quote and either fabricated it or repeated a misleading version for his own purposes.

So you can see here the decision tree of Alex's responses to being confronted with something he can't really dispute. He's misrepresented reality, and reality is looking back at him, with the only possibility seeming to be that he made up the Whitmer quote or he didn't understand this one and repeated a misleading version for his own purposes.

Alex Jones is intentionally lying about CDC guidance by misrepresenting information about masks with valves as applying to normal face masks.

Alex is either unwilling or unable to do the approximately two minutes of work that it would be required to report on this correctly. The thing is, it's not laziness or inability that creates this. It's bad will. Alex knows that the blurb he's reading has nothing to do with normal mask reading. He's just intentionally lying to pretend it's related.

Alex Jones lied on air about the circumstances of his arrest, claiming he was driving to get ice cream when police records show he was leaving a fight with his wife.

According to the affidavit, Alex's story on air is completely a lie. On air, Alex says that he was going out to get the thing from the store. He later says that it's a bluebell ice cream. He says that's when he got pulled over. That's what he was doing. But the affidavit tells a totally different story. According to the report, Alex and his wife got into an argument at dinner over sushi. Then, quote, Jones ended up walking three miles home from dinner. When he arrived home, they continued arguing, the affidavit says. Jones stated he then proceeded to drive to another residence he owns downtown to get away from his wife. That's what Alex told the cops the night before. And now he's completely lying about that on air. Alex wasn't going to get ice cream. He'd just gotten into a drunken fight with his wife.

Alex Jones falsely claimed to be unaware of the Cosmic Cowboy trilogy before a caller revealed he wrote it.

Have you heard of the Cosmic Cowboy trilogy? I've heard that name, but I've never, what is it? Is it a book? Yeah, it's a movie script that I wrote in 2011. And it prophesied the move, Trump's move to the embassy move in Jerusalem in 2018. So it was like a nine-year prophetic look. Well, yeah, I heard of that. Of course, I've heard of that. What is it? You see how full of shit Alex is. Any type of collar must be aware of this. I know everything. So of course I know the Cosmic Cowboy trilogy. It's a script that I wrote. Whoa. Shit. That happens a lot with Alex. Like, just like things he could not possibly be aware of. There's just, I like that. That's what I mean.

Alex Jones's method of citing a 'globalist perspective' is a structural lie designed to prevent his audience from confirming his claims.

That's how Alex lies, and how he makes it acceptable for his audience to be completely unable to confirm any of the things he says and then keep on believing him. So, the globalist perspective you can find on this story is that media outlets covered Elon Musk making braggadocious claims about his company having a miracle cure implant that will also give people access to, quote, a tertiary layer of digital superintelligence. That's what I've always wanted. It would be great. Yeah, no, that'd be sweet. I love tertiary shit. Sure. Most of those articles are critical, about Musk in general, and more specifically about how medical science and the understanding of how the brain works isn't even close to a place where something like what Musk is proposing could be done. Experts I've heard talk about it seem to think that the most likely outcome of all this is just developing better versions of already existing technology to do things like improve prosthetic limb robotics. One neurobiologist who spoke to Business Insider called the plan to merge AI with human brains, quote, aspirational fantasy land. While giving the caveat that it's hard to predict what we'll be able to do in like 30 years, 20 years. I hope that's not aspirational. That's terrifying. That's fantasy land that's a fucking dystopic nightmare of artificial intelligence controlling our very own brains. I feel like aspirational fantasy land is value neutral in some ways. You could have a terrible fantasy. But, see, that's the globalist perspective that you'll find, according to Alex. Sure. This is what you will see in the news. Right. If you're one of Alex's listeners, you'll try and track down the story that he's telling, and this is what you'll find. And it doesn't at all match Alex's talk of brain surgery being done at the kiosk between the Auntie Anne's pretzels and the Hot Topic. But that's okay, because all the stories you'll find are just the globalist perspective. It's their spin on the news, whereas Alex knows everything. He's researched everything, so he can read between the lines. His version of it is the truth, which is only further established by the fact that no one but him is saying it. This is just lying. But it's structural lying. It's a self-aware deception, because it includes a built-in explanation for why anything you may try to confirm will prove that he's wrong.

Alex Jones likely fabricated the claim that globalists threatened to murder a caller's daughter to manipulate his audience or improvise a segment.

The moments where when he said globalists threatened to murder your daughter, there is a piece of his brain that thought for a second either. One of two things. One, this caller somehow is important enough that these shadowy globalists would threaten to murder his daughter and he wouldn't lead with that. Or he's like, maybe I can convince my audience to think that's real and maybe he'll play along with it. Right. One of those two things had to be what's going through his head.
