In #514: An X-Mas Report Rebuttal, Dan Friesen and Jordan Holmes dissect Alex Jones’ baseless Nashville bombing claims, linking them to AT&T’s surveillance and CNN’s "deep state" role despite no evidence. Jones pivots from a 1% chance of reality to false flag accusations, mirroring his failed past predictions like Australia’s wildfires or Antifa attacks. The hosts expose his pattern of exploiting uncertainty while deflecting scrutiny, warning his denialism risks normalizing violent extremism. His disjointed ties to Biden and Holder fall flat, underscoring how his rhetoric prioritizes spectacle over substance—dangerously undermining accountability in the name of "questioning everything."

My bright spot today is something I've actually told you about already, and I'd like to continue my celebration of this, and that is Rolled Gold put out a flavor of pretzels.
They had two different sort of limited-time flavors.
No, on Christmas they had like a half-off special, so it was like five bucks.
So I was like, screw it.
And I started playing it again, and I am so happy I did.
And I'm happy that I did it after the remake, too, is because once I got out of Midgar, I felt the same way I did the first time I played it, which was just, oh, thank Christ I'm out of that fucking place!
I feel like as we get into that year one of the things I really want to stress and really run a Redouble my efforts on is looking at these things that like are really actually important about Alex.
Okay It's always fun to make fun of him Breaking down in the studio sure always fun sure always fun to laugh at like dad Oh, that's a great idea!
If you're out there listening and you're thinking, hey, I enjoyed this show, I'd like to support these gents, you can do that by going to our website, knowledgefight.com, clicking the button that says support the show, we would appreciate it, or...
Or what you could do, if you are feeling like your generous spirit is oppressed by a massive global corporation literally sucking the life from the planet, then what you should do is escape from that place, take your generosity to, I don't know, I don't know, Jundin.
And then give it to a local charity or bail fund in specifically Jundin.
I've not cut anything out of the special report that Alex is playing, except for one point where he plays the audio of the bomb going off in Nashville.
It doesn't really add anything interesting to the episode to hear an explosion, and the audio mix is terrible.
Today, in the early morning hours of Christmas, a large truck bomb housed inside an RV exploded outside the AT&T main communications building in Nashville.
The individual, organization, or group behind the attack went out of their way to warn the public to get away before the bomb detonated by broadcasting for more than 10 minutes that there was a bomb on board the vehicle that was about to detonate.
911 also received a call claiming that gunshots had been fired in the area minutes before the explosion.
The FBI is now reporting that human remains have been found in the debris at the blast site.
So on Christmas Day, in case people did not hear about this, a bomb was detonated in an RV parked in downtown Nashville.
At the time of our recording, one of the working theories that people have is that it's possible that the person was targeting the AT&T building, which was quite nearby the blast site.
This, as a possible motive for an act of domestic terror, makes complete sense.
the trouble of carrying out a bombing, you'd likely want whatever damage you do to have maximum impact.
AT&T's operations in Nashville are housed at that building, so the potential disruption you could cause by damaging that would be huge, as we've seen from the fallout of the bombing itself, with some people still being without phone service today as we're recording.
This is all a very tragic turn of events, and my heart goes out to the people affected by this act.
Thankfully, there weren't any civilian casualties, and the human remains that were found there, literally right before we started recording, I saw it was being reported that they have matched the DNA to the person they suspect is the bomber.
There's a lot of stuff that's unknown still about this event, but there are definitely some fair assumptions you can make about it.
Obviously, this wasn't an accident, so there was an intention behind this bombing.
It was clearly meant to be a spectacle and something that would be traumatic, given that it was planned for Christmas morning, which is a very solemn time for many.
in this country.
My gut tells me, based on these pieces of information, that this was an ideological act.
I mean, it's unfortunate that the vibe I'm getting from this whole thing is Vietnamese monks self-immolating, but because they believe that the Laotians are going to sneak in through the earth.
It's a point that I've made a lot, in that Alex Jones knows that his business model really only works and is powered by uncertainty.
The moment that the cement is wet and he can write his initials on there before it dries, that is the time he knows he has to go to work.
And naturally, on Christmas Day, when he's already failing to take this week off, he records a special report about the Nashville bombing because, on some possibly subconscious level, he knows that if he waits until his show on Sunday, there's a chance that more details will be known by then and it'll be too late for him to profit off this tragedy.
We watched this unfold in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing, and it seems kind of likely that this is going to be a to be another big push for him now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A couple of things are different, though, which make the end of 2020 a lot more complicated for someone like Alex.
For one, there are tons of people running around online competing for access to that wet cement.
Alex doesn't have exclusive control over the paranoid conspiracy space anymore, so there are other people who are equally able to put their imprint on stories before the information becomes public.
The other major difference is that people keep suing Alex now.
In the past, he was a lunatic yelling that everyone just thought it's best to leave him alone, but he went too far, and finally some people stood up to his bullying.
That had a domino effect of people not being afraid to burden him with lawsuits when he defames them.
And that has a chilling effect on someone's ability to defame people freely.
It's just strange to me that immediately, as this special report opens, the options that he's presenting for why the person did what they did, like their motivation, are identical beliefs to his.
In the summer of 2018, CNN deployed a new talking point that was then adopted by almost every other cable news or broadcast news organization in the United States.
That Donald Trump, by criticizing the press's attacks on him...
Was going to trigger terrorist attacks on their facilities and the murder of journalists.
They hammered it hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times with no proof.
So what's going on now is that Alex is trying to implant the idea that CNN said Trump's rhetoric would lead to a rise in attacks on journalists as preparation for this Christmas Day RV bomb against AT&T's Nashville headquarters since AT&T owns CNN, even though everyone knows that the CNN center is in Atlanta.
Or you could just go check out the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker, which is a little service that documents and tracks attacks on journalists in the United States.
In 2018, there were 35. In 2019, 34. Little progress, one less.
It's hard not to see this kind of ripple effect as being part of Trump's rhetoric, where he labels the press the enemy of the people and also constantly talks about how police, you know, if they rough people up, they shouldn't get in trouble.
Anyway, there's no need for an RV bomb at the AT&T building to pay off the fears that Trump's rhetoric would lead to a rise in danger for journalists.
That argument could be easily made without it.
So this...
Doesn't even really satisfy in terms of like, oh, so you're going back two years to something that you yelled about about CNN being the predictive element of...
To be crystal clear, Infowars is not saying that CNN is behind the attacks.
What we are saying is a known fact that they are the main mouthpiece of the criminal elements of the deep state and shadow government that are battling to recapture control of the United States.
So the clarification is that Alex isn't saying that CNN is behind the bombing.
Just that they're a mouthpiece for the evil demon globalists who are trying to salvage control of the country.
If you're following his point, he's saying that he doesn't want CNN to sue him.
His theory is that the evil globalists carried out the bombing to retain control of the United States, and CNN set the stage for it by saying Trump's rhetoric was a danger to journalists.
It is entirely possible that a lone wolf or small group carried this operation out for other reasons.
But when you look at the history and the motive and the background, and who stands to gain from this, and all the media previews and programming, this thing reeks as a possible deep state false flag operation.
This is really the main thrust, I believe, of what he's saying, is that two years ago, CNN did all this shit, and it's proof that they were planning to do this now.
In August and October of 2018, I went to the airwaves to desperately warn the people that MSM was clearly preconditioning the population to accept that when terror attacks that they said were imminent hit mainstream media, that it was indeed the fault of whatever patsy they produced who would then take credit for Donald Trump, the nationalist and populist movement.
I had seen this exact same rhetoric before.
Right before the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing that was then blamed on the Patriot movement and Rush Limbaugh.
I think the softest part of it is you are telling me that CNN is a multi-billion dollar a year corporation and they spent two years planning this bombing?
This bombing.
I feel like the hardest part to plan about this was the AV system that shouted...
So now we reach the point in the special report, which is maybe like 20 seconds after he said maybe it's real, where he definitively says that it was the deep state.
Within days of the Supreme Court of Michigan declaring that Governor Whitmer was nothing more than a dictator and that her COVID lockdowns were illegal, suddenly the FBI busted a terror cell of militia that had been playing to kidnap her.
It came out a week later that the terror cell was led by two FBI informants and the whole thing had been a giant setup.
That is a smaller microcosm of what the deep state does when they actually carry out larger terror attacks like we just witnessed in.
This country is in an existential battle fighting for its very existence against a Chi-Com-led globalist takeover.
And with 25 days until the attempted installment and coronation of their agent, Joe Biden.
The mainstream media is on the ropes.
People hate them.
They don't believe them.
They don't trust them.
And as massive evidence comes out of collective election fraud carried by the deep state and their cohorts, the Democratic Party, the system needs something to turn themselves into victims.
This is designed to silence the American people and their opposition to the Great Reset and the huge COVID lockdown that is meant to be permanent if Joe Biden gets into power.
Yeah, but I think he's still of the opinion that when it comes out, the full story, it's gonna be somebody more on the, uh, I hate the people who have the war on Christmas side.
So he probably thinks preemptively, I don't know if I can pull that one off.
I have been on record dozens of times in the last month saying we are now in the season of the false flag.
We are now in the season of the establishment loading up truck bombs to bomb themselves to be victims, and I have our archivists looking for it right now.
But thanks to Media Matters, George Soros' organization, we have two examples from two years ago where I warned and foreshadowed what we now happen to see unfolding.
And ladies and gentlemen, this is about taking down America and Trump and the recovery and the entire free press.
So I'm telling you, like night follows day, the stage terror attacks are coming on big tech, government buildings, Mainstream media, all the stars will be gone that day, all the stelters will be gone that day, all the Lester Holtz will be gone, and they are going to drive a truck bomb or something into a daycare at CNN or ABC or something and have people shooting everybody, you name it.
You can see the pre-programming and say, see?
The hate did this.
The hate did this.
While they cover up Antifa and the attack on Scalise and the attack on Rand Paul and all the calls to kidnap Barron and rape him.
And we've got to get this out to Trump.
We've got to let him know.
Because Trump's not calling for violence.
When they attack Trump and lie about him, he says, you're fake news.
You're lying.
I'm not a racist.
I love Mexicans.
Whatever.
They go, oh, you're a Nazi.
You're calling for violence.
Blood on your hands.
Same thing with me.
Editing stuff out of context to build this.
So they got big tech, they got the media, they got the Democrats, they got Warner reportedly running it all, ready to quarterback this whole deal.
So, I have a couple reasons why I don't take anything that Alex played there as sincere or a meaningful prediction about what actually happened on Friday.
The first is that Alex literally says the target would be CNN Center in Atlanta, and it would happen when Brian Stelter and Lester Holt aren't there because they would have advance warning.
The second major reason that this rings hollow to me is that the specific of Alex mentioning a truck bomb and a daycare center, that's not meaningful in terms of a prediction.
That's hearkening back to Oklahoma City.
That's very specifically a part of right-wing terrorist history.
It's a huge part of the mythology and zeitgeist of the patriot world, them being torn between celebrating Timothy McVeigh The third reason I take issue with this prediction is because these clips were from two and a half years ago.
This article that Alex is playing a Media Matters clip from is from August 2018.
So it just stretches any kind of credulity to imagine that the globalists are broadcasting their signals, pushing the programming so hard that Alex picked up on them, then waited 28 months and carried out a stage bombing that didn't kill anyone at the building that's owned by CNN's parent company but isn't really associated with CNN itself.
Breaking in, we were following this earlier, just an hour ago.
And the stock market was only down 600 points, which is still big.
It dropped 1,600 points today, which is one of the biggest drops ever.
And then rebounded 800 points, but it's still 800 points down.
And Doug, you talk about deep state operations.
You talk about Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, they've been working against the president.
Even though they've had record profits, they openly cheerlead for Communist China.
This is the type of craziness we've been saying will come.
Evidence is mounting that the megafires in Australia are being orchestrated by multinational forces to clear out key corridors for future development and for light rail going in that's being financed by the Communist Chinese.
They are intending to remove Trump one way or another.
And then they're going to trigger a civil war saying right-wingers blew stuff up when Trump gets removed.
They're going to truck bomb and mass shoot and say we did it when they remove Trump, use that for a total clampdown, the economy's going to implode, and then there's going to be homeless running around crazy everywhere.
All they've got to do is have the Chinese, who supply 90% of the opiates, cut those off for about a month, and it's going to look like a zombie apocalypse.
And remember, oh, Alex, you're a fair monger.
They'll never try to get our guns.
And I said, you watch.
There's going to be mass shootings.
There's going to be false flags.
A month before Sandy Hook, I said, this is the season.
Get ready.
I'm seeing them roll out the propaganda now beforehand.
And so this is the type of time you're going to see bigger false flag event type things happen.
But I can tell you right now, ladies and gentlemen, that Communist forces, that's what Antifa is, in the Soros-funded, Democrat-party-funded combine, are planning assaults on new police stations and federal buildings tonight, all across the United States.
And when the Austin police bring photos and video of this to the mayor's office, they are told, you are to stand down.
I've seen the photos.
I've seen the videos.
I've seen the internal memorandums.
This is happening for sure.
We knew Governor Northam was going to try to declare an emergency.
We knew he was going to try to hype it up like people with guns are coming to get him.
And so he'll have to have a law enforcement response.
Then they stage a false flag or they provocateur an action.
Jesse Smollett style, but on steroids.
And then they say, look, the gun owners are the evil terrorists.
They're the white supremacist.
And they run the same operation we saw the Democrat-controlled state police did a couple years ago in Charlottesville.
And they have launched more and more escalations.
And the next escalation is assassinating the president or staging giant terror attacks and blaming it on the right-wing patriots.
And they're going to do it.
And are we just going to sit here while the Clintons and the Obamas load up a fuel truck again and blow up a federal building?
Are we just going to sit here while they go and shoot up a black church with some mental patient?
They got wound up on psychotropics and amphetamines and amnesics in a hotel room right now.
They got brainwashed loony tuners everywhere ready to go.
They punch a couple buttons, it's over.
There's no way to stop their false flags unless the leadership of the globalist is dealt with.
Because you know what?
It's real, folks.
There's nothing fake here.
In fact, I'm so damn real, I can't stand it.
I sometimes want to control myself.
I sometimes want to act a different way.
I can't!
I can't control myself!
I'm a maniac.
It's all real.
I'm totally real.
I've never lied to you.
I compulsively tell the truth.
And these people out there, they can't stand that, you see?
And they also don't like the fact they can't scare me.
And they don't like the fact they can't scare you.
But let me just tell you.
I've studied war propaganda and how the globalists do stuff.
Folks, I think they're probably, I need to go to your calls, but I need to probably do a special report so I don't cut into the main broadcast time of your calls, but I think they're getting ready to do a false flag and blame me, and they might kill me, and I'm only, it's not said to be dramatic, and if that happens, I'm not a loser, I'm a winner, I don't want to die, by the way, I'm not going to commit suicide, but you know what I mean.
But they take out Trump and they take out 200,000 Americans at the same time and then they blame conservatives and then they use that to blacklist all conservatives, all speech online and any dissenting views.
This is the plan.
They have to silence you, Alex, and they have to silence me.
They wouldn't be taking the risk to shut us down when it wakes everybody up with the Streisand effect if they weren't at a gut level.
I know.
I think well before the election, they're going to hit us.
And I agree.
I think it's going to be a biological or a nuclear event.
But I think they want nuclear to kill POTUS.
If they nuke a city, which is in their plans, it's in their cards.
If they nuke a city and say Patriots did it, You know the hammer just dropped and they're going to try to come arrest me, you name it.
Okay, I know these murderers.
Just like two people are seen running away from the scene in Sandy Hook.
And then you find a guy shot in the head inside.
You go have a drill.
You shoot your mental patient Patsy in the head.
You get out.
I mean, this is the oldest.
This is a false flag.
And so the next attack, a bioweapon ten times worse?
A nuke in D.C. during the State of the Union?
I mean, Congress shouldn't be in session in the buildings.
The president should never be in D.C. now.
He should be moving around the country.
I mean, we're in a total war, people.
And if this is proven to not be a false flag, which I think has gone from 1% chance to maybe 5% chance, I will eat my hat and apologize and be very pleased.
It's an obsession and a centerpiece of his worldview.
On some level, he knows that his political alignment is just full of cosplaying militia weirdos who lust after the opportunity to commit acts of violence that they can justify as being necessary to water the tree of liberty or whatever.
He knows that, so the only real options he can do...
You can either applaud terrorist acts, domestic terrorist acts, which is tough, or you pretend they don't exist.
If you go the first option, it's a little risky.
Eventually you'll end up ostracizing yourself, even from the pseudo-acceptable world of the fringe.
The second option just requires a mantra you drill into your audience.
In this case, if there's an act of terrorism that looks like it could have been carried out by someone who believes the same shit as me, it's fake until proven otherwise.
It's the evil nebulous group I'm fighting that's just trying to make me look bad, so ignore it and keep pushing deeper into the fanatical world that accepts, rationalizes, and excuses this kind of activity.
And that has nothing to do with what the actual end result of what this event was.
Because the first time you're exposed to the idea of a false flag, and that it's not just something that only exists in fiction, it does make you think, like, oh my god, everything could be.
And that's the danger of that tripwire Alex can set out in front of you.
It's the same thing that happened to Rogan.
When Rogan talks to Alex about the only things that he thinks Alex has been right about, it's like, oh, you told me that agent provocateurs exist.
So, like, yes.
Okay, great.
Your mind was blown by that.
But that mind-blowing event was used for malicious purposes.
And I think that Alex knows, on some level, no matter how stupid this conspiracy is about this bombing on Christmas, no matter how lacking in connective tissue it is, no matter how sad it looks to look at, it might blow someone's mind.
Again, it comes down to the limitation of his abilities.
And that is that once you introduce the idea of real critical thinking that you engage in with the audience and allow the audience to engage in, if you're like, well, maybe this is a false flag.
I don't know.
Let's see.
You can't...
Accidentally encourage your audience to start questioning, and you don't want them to do that, because your shit is thin.
And at the preliminary stages, this fits perfectly into that historical paradigm.
But regardless, authoritarian elements of the system will try to use this event to take more Americans'liberties.
The Democratic Party and their deep state controllers have given us years of looting and destruction as a message to the courts and the system.
If you don't give us what we want, if you don't let us steal the election and install Joe Biden and let China complete its takeover, we will burn every city to the ground.
And he gets to his closing thoughts, which is his refrain that he says on pretty much every time he wants to say something stupid about a world event that people are emotionally affected by.
And that is, hey, I got the right to question things.
But in closing, never forget the long history of governments and other organizations staging false flag terror attacks to blander political opposition.
And remember, it's the American birthright to be able to research and question any public event.
I don't want to get into a First Amendment debate.
But I don't think it's responsible at questioning behavior or something that has a lot of value in society for someone to just get on the radio and with no evidence be like, the deep state did this.
I feel like Alex just doesn't have many specifics left, and he's like, oh, I remember how fun it was to make people scared of Eric Holder.
Let's get back on that.
So I was really struck by how weak and desperate that special report that Alex put out is.
It's absolutely meaningless.
There's no teeth behind it at all.
I almost kind of felt when I was listening to it that he didn't have a theory, but he wanted to yell into the void to remind people that he's weird, and he's willing to call everything fake with or without reason, and he's ready to do it immediately.
There's nothing except knee-jerk denialism, which Alex attempts to justify by pointing to unrelated rants he went on two and a half years ago about how the media was going to false flag themselves, something that barely even makes sense with the details of the bombing.
It's unconvincing, it's flat, and it's also couched in so much I'm-not-saying-I'm-just-saying kind of language that it's hard to even imagine him caring about this.
Reckless abandon is easy to mistake for passion, but attempts to cover your own ass preemptively just feel hollow.
I was curious about QAnon was doing with this bombing, so I reached out to Travis over at QAnon Anonymous, and he directed me to some of the theories that have popped up and gained traction in that world.
They seem to have theories that surround the idea that there was like a secret NSA server at the AT&T building that would somehow prove that the Georgia election fraud conspiracy.
So the bombing was actually the good guys setting off a controlled detonation to recover the evidence and stop Biden from getting into office or possibly to prevent the bad guys from being able to steal the upcoming runoff election in Georgia.
Obviously that's nonsense and it's flimsy as hell, but it makes sense with the larger conspiracies that are actually being engaged in in the QAnon world That's fair.
It fits the needs of the audience the QAnon has captured Whereas Alex's narrative is just dull and uninspired as well as almost entirely Disconnected from anything else he's been yelling about except for the fact that false flag Do you want me to play that six minutes again?
So, I'm interested to see where Alex goes with this, because I think, I mean, based on his behaviors, it seems like this is something that's going to have to be something he keeps going on.
