    Poor guy just wanted to spread vicious lies about people whose children were murdered. Who amongst us hasn’t done that?

      My grandma who died in the hospital was a false flag operation.

      Please buy my dick pills!

      I think Jones’s story is kinda sad, honestly.

      I think he’s a genuinely low IQ individual who is passionate about digging around where he shouldn’t dig, and trying to make sense of things. He flew too close to the sun by actually doing some decent investigative journalism and getting due praise when he was way younger and less of a deranged alcoholic. And that success got to his tiny brain, and then alcohol and drugs… And now he’s a deranged lunatic who… Basically wants to spread lies about people whose children were murdered. And he’s so lost in this “truth seeker” identity that has so clearly deteriorated to insanity, that he’s not only willing to, but he is ultimately going to die on this hill.

      Not saying he hasn’t earned that, but I guess I’m saying I’d still be interested to know the results of a lengthy psychiatric eval on him.

        I’m pretty sure he knew exactly what he was doing. He’s a unscrupulous grifter that was in it for the money from day one. Low IQ is no excuse for being a scumbag.

          Yeah, the Sandy hook story was bringing in millions of dollars. He knew very well what he was doing and he kept at it because he only cared for his personal gain. He’s a huge piece of shit.

        Jones is on record that he has untreated sleep apnea. He’s also an alcoholic. The dude has full on brain damage. I’m guessing he’s dead by mid 60s from early onset alzheimers.

          Kinda what I mean. Like yeah he’s been milking an evil cow to rake in millions… but honestly, I think his other option is to live out of a van until he has a heart attack. Not saying it isn’t befitting… Just saying. It’s sad.

        If you listen to his show, dude really likes movies, especially sci-fi . In another life, he could have been someone with a sci-fi movie themed podcast that I would have listened to religiously. But instead he chose to profit off spreading lies about elections, the climate, COVID, school shootings, etc. Unfortunately, he was born into the John Birch Society and so the poor kid had no chance of growing up decent.

        I look at Alex Jones the same way I look at Trump. Both are terrible people who had shit parents and obviously that doesn’t excuse their behavior now, it’s just… sad.
