Conspiracy Theorist Alex Jones Admits He’s Just Putting on a ‘Performance’

Conspiracy Theorist and Fake News Purveyor Has the Ear of the President

The man who insists the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre was “completely fake” and a “giant hoax” despite 20 first grade children and six adults having died that December day in 2012 now is trying to convince a Texas court that he’s a good parent who should be allowed to keep his three kids. In a court of law an attorney for fake news purveyor and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones says his client is merely “playing a character.”

“He is a performance artist,” Randall Wilhite told Judge Orlinda Naranjo, as the Austin American-Statesman reports. 

Wilhite isn’t the only one insisting that the man who, for years, told millions of people 9/11 was conducted by the U.S. government and the Oklahoma City bombing. Alex Jones himself, in an attempt of wrangle out of possible felony charges after threatening to assault a U.S. Congressman, recently said on-air his comments were “clearly tongue-in-cheek and basically art performance, as I do in my rants, which I admit I do, as a form of art.”

Tell this to the millions of people, 90 percent of which Jones says are Trump supporters, who listen to his webcasts and visit his InfoWars and Prison Planet websites. He records his “art” from his home, his ex-wife, Kelly Jones says.

“He’s not a stable person,” she said of the man with whom her 14-year-old son and 9- and 12-year-old daughters have lived since her 2015 divorce. “He says he wants to break Alec Baldwin’s neck. He wants J-Lo to get raped.

“I’m concerned that he is engaged in felonious behavior, threatening a member of Congress,” she said, referring to his recent comments about California Democrat Adam Schiff. “He broadcasts from home. The children are there, watching him broadcast.”

Jones’ YouTube videos have been viewed 1.2 billion times.

The year before the election, Donald Trump appeared on Jones’ show. 

“Your reputation is amazing,” the Republican candidate told Jones. “I will not let you down.” Jones claims Trump called him after the election to thank him.

Millions of people watch Alex Jones, and certainly seem to believe him. 

“During the campaign and into his presidency, many of Trump’s most defining themes and questionable assertions either originated with or were popularized by Infowars,” the Statesman notes. “Hillary Clinton for prison. Hillary Clinton is gravely ill. Bill Clinton is a rapist. President Barack Obama founded ISIS. The election is rigged. Millions of immigrants voted illegally. The news media covers up terrorist attacks. The ‘fake news media … is the enemy of the people.’ Obama spied on Trump.”

Now Jones says it’s “basically art performance.”

Here’s an example, a video from March 28, of Jones titled, “Democrats Admit They Are Planning To Kill Trump. Red Emergency, Full Alert!”
