Conspiracy Theorist Jones Has a Penchant for the Absurd
by Brett Linley
When it comes to noted conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, the truth can be elusive. Recently, through his site InfoWars, he attacked Governor Gary Johnson. In one of his video segments, Jones claimed that Johnson, “could, legitimately, actually, steal this election for the American people…and give it to Hillary.” You can watch this segment below:
Of course, in his mind, Donald Trump is the rightful owner of your vote. It is inconceivable to him that freedom-minded individuals might want someone who represents their values. Thus, in his mind, Gary Johnson is “a Democratic party plant, and operative.”
However, this is not the first time Jones has been wrong. It certainly won’t be the last. There are a lot of times that Jones has fabricated his own facts, but here are just a few.
1. The Government is Making People Gay
Yes, you read that right. In one of his conspiracy videos dating back to 2010, Jones proclaimed that, “the reason there are so many gay people now is because it’s a chemical warfare operation.” In Jones’s world, the government puts estrogen-mimicking material in juice boxes.
The purpose of such a venture, apparently, is to reduce the population. When it comes to the purpose of reducing the population, Jones is rather light on explanations. Obviously, this claim is ridiculous in its own right. Unfortunately, it only gets crazier from there.
