Alex Jones Calls for ‘Reparations for White People’ (Video)

Even Uses Racist Graphic Trump Tweeted That Been Thoroughly Debunked 

Donald Trump BFF and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is calling for reparations for white people.

While the Internet provocateur excels in espousing ignorance and hate, “fake news” and idiocy, Monday’s call for reparations for white people is just downright offensive. Newsweek, reporting the story, calls Jones a “ right-wing conspiracy theorist allied with President Donald Trump.”

“There needs to be reparations for white people the last 20, 30 years, getting attacked and killed by the tens of thousands every year,” Jones said on his web-based show Monday, as Media Matters reports. “Seriously, if you want to play this whole game, and I’m not actually asking for that. There needs to be real travel advisories. They used to have in the 60s some places like Selma, Alabama, The New York Times would put travel advisories out for black folks. Well, you know what? They needed a travel advisory,” Jones insisted.

He also called for Americans to find incidents of racism.

“It doesn’t matter that most of the basketball players you see who happen to be black have the same haircut, or David Beckham, or anybody else,” Jones said. “It doesn’t matter. You need to find that racism. In the eclipse. In a guy’s short haircut. In whatever it is. You’ve got to find it. It’s got to be there. So that’s why I’ve issued a travel advisory for the United States for white folks going to places like Denver, Detroit. Places like Chicago, places like Seattle, because I’ve been to these towns and I’ve experienced it.”

If you’re scratching your head and asking, “Huh?” you’re not alone.

But there’s more of this insanity.

Jones calls Confederate monuments “Democratic Party icons,” and blasted “white knight race pushers — when you don’t have any blacks living that ever even saw slavery.”

Jones’ hateful ignorance is staggering. Blacks have been legally, then, illegally, prohibited from acquiring wealth in America for decades. One way was to make it illegal for Blacks to purchase property, and therefore, to pass down wealth. When it became illegal to do so, banks and property owners found other ways. Those days, one way or another, are not over.

“You’ve got all these whites who were never connected to it,” Jones says, of slavery. “And then you’ve got the Democratic Party that is literally pushing this that’s removing their history. And then somehow, that’s all Donald Trump’s fault. In fact, I tweeted that out this morning, that point, that I’ve noticed a lot of other people making. It’s just total hype, hysteria, mental illness.”

Again, if you’re scratching your head and asking, “Huh?” you’re not alone.

It’s important to note that Jones appears to still be using the totally debunked graphic that claims, “Whites killed by whites — 16%. Whites killed by blacks — 81%.” After candidate Donald Trump tweeted it, to massive outrage because it’s false, PolitiFact rated it “Pants of Fire” false.

‘Massive Shift’: FCC Chair Says Local TV Will ‘Decide What the American People Think’

Published

on

Explaining the “massive shift” he intends to impose on the focus of the Federal Communications Commission, Chairman Brendan Carr announced that he will take America back to the era when local television stations shaped what the American people “think.”

“So again,” Carr told Fox News on Thursday, “we’re going back to that era when local TV stations, judging the public interest, get to decide what the American people think.”

“And again, we’re constraining the power through those actions of Disney, of Comcast. And I think the American public can be much better off. But, yeah, I don’t think this is the last shoe to drop,” he said, appearing to refer to the suspension of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel.

“This is a massive shift that’s taking place in the media ecosystem, and I think the consequences are going to  continue to flow,” he declared.

On Thursday, speaking aboard Air Force One, President Donald Trump wrongly suggested that broadcast networks, licensed by the FCC, are “not allowed” to criticize him.

“When you have a network and you have evening shows and all they do is hit Trump, that’s all they do — if you go back, I guess they haven’t had a conservative one in years, or something — when you go back and take a look, all they do is hit Trump. They’re licensed. They’re not allowed to do that,” Trump said.

Carr is one of the authors of The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025. President Donald Trump praised Carr as “a warrior for Free Speech,” CBS News reported last year.

There are few “local” television stations left in the U.S., in the sense that nearly all are owned by several major broadcast conglomerates, including Nexstar Media Group, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Gray Television, Tegna, Hearst, and Scripps.

Trump Labels Flag Burning, Organized Protests ‘Incitement to Riot’

Published

on

President Donald Trump, explaining his controversial decision to attempt to label Antifa a terrorist organization, said burning the American flag is an “incitement to riot,” as are organized protests — which he claimed lead to “death.”

“They have signs and they’re all professionally made,” Trump told Fox News’ Martha MacCallum on Thursday, apparently referring to those suspected of celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk, NBC News reported. “Real protesters make them in their basement.”

After suggesting without offering any evidence that philanthropist George Soros might be behind organized protests, Trump declared, “it’s incitement to riot. That’s a criminal act. And people are dying because of it. So it’s really, you know, it’s death.”

Speaking about his executive order to designate Antifa — which is not an organized group and it does it have leaders — a terrorist group, Trump said, “They are.”

Asked, “do you believe that there is a vast terrorist movement in the United States that people need to be aware of, and is it responsible for Charlie Kirk’s killing, for the attempts on your life, for these CEOs that we saw in New York City?” Trump replied, “You never know, and we’ll find out, maybe.”

“But in the meantime, we’re gonna do a big thing with respect to Antifa. It’s a sick group, a very, very sick group.”

“They love burning the American flag. I think it’s terrible that they burn the American flag. And we’re saying it incites riots, and therefore, you go to jail for one year, if you burn the American flag.”

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that it is not illegal to burn the American flag, it is a protected form of free speech.

‘All They Do Is Hit Trump’: President Says Networks ‘Not Allowed to Do That’

Published

on

President Donald Trump has been claiming that the ABC suspended late night host Jimmy Kimmel because of poor ratings, but he shared a different thought on Thursday about what the future of network television might entail.

“When you have a network and you have evening shows and all they do is hit Trump, that’s all they do — if you go back, I guess they haven’t had a conservative one in years, or something — when you go back and take a look, all they do is hit Trump. They’re licensed. They’re not allowed to do that,” Trump said, according to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.

The Independent added that President Trump “told reporters on Air Force One as he jets back from his State visit to the U.K. that because he won the election and networks give him ‘wholly bad publicity,’ that ‘I would think maybe their license should be taken away.'”

“It will be up to Brendan Carr. I think Brendan Carr is outstanding. He’s a patriot. He loves our country, and he’s a tough guy,” the president said, referring to the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.
