Alex Jones: Crazy and Real or "Performance Art"?

Kermit.de.frog

In a recent child custody battle Jones' lawyer argued that he was not, in fact, in to the lizard people and all the mad stuff - that it is, actually, "Performance Art".

Do you agree?

I think this is fake but the way he runs is somewhat hilarious.

He's real alright, a real gob****e

This shows exactly what he is. He preys on idiots for profit.

He's a complete mentaller. On a side note, I find John Oliver to be very annoying.

Jesus Wept

I think he is a genius.

If he is not crazy and does not believe it himself i'd tend to agree.

Deserves an Oscar in my opinion.

It's an act.

Dead sound guy, says it like it is. He certainly is not a snowflake.... ..

Dunno, sometimes I think yes absolutely but sometimes not. Even if it was all an act how unhinged would you have to be to keep at it like this?

Better than any actor I have ever seen!

I get what you're saying but he reminds me of a Televangelist.
It's an act but he can be convincing to some.

Fair play to him. At least he's not bragging

Subcomandante Marcos

He's an absolute con artist who Preys on the intellectual feebality of his viewers.

When he's not going about FEMA concentration camps he's talking about satanic trans-dimensional peadophile vampires.

That this idiot's "news" platform got press credentials from the current administration is one of the single most damming points of Trump's presidency so far.

Arghus

He's an awful clown of a man.

i think he is fantastic - gets the truth that is hidden by the MSM out there.

Ulysses Gaze

:pac:

Hande hoche!

About 95% of what he says is rubbish. Still better viewing than the Young Turks.

NIMAN

I think he is just a great salesman, like all those TV evangelists.

They have found a way to get money from gullible people, and they are very wealthy as a result. The American dream.

I guess this is not the guy who sang that lovely An Post tv Christmas ad about 20 years ago then...

Alex Jones has made a lot of money from spouting conspiracy theories on his radio show and infowars fake news website. He makes more money from the infowars 'medicines' website.

https://www.infowarsstore.com

Apparently, during a recent custody battle for his children, his wife/partner claimed that he was a lunatic, showing his shouty, ignorant performances on tv. He claimed that this was performance art.

It's hard to know where the truth lies without knowing the man personally but I'm fairly sure that he isn't a standard idiot.

He profits from selling fake products/news to vulnerable people. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw his car.

Irish Guitarist

He seems to think Tommy Robinson is great as well as this loudmouth.

Samaris

He's either speaking what he reckons is truth and is completely bat**** crazy or he's producing performance art while pretending it's true, in which case he's a lying con-artist, since he never indicates to his followers that he's aware he's talking rubbish.

He also spends a lot of his time hawking products of dubious origin and efficacy.

Basically, none of the above say much for Alex Jones.

Nasty piece of work

This fu*ker peddled a conspiracy theory that the Sandy Hook massacre was a staged event with actors. His supporters constantly hassle the parents of the dead kids to this day. Imagine being a parent and having your child brutally murdered and then having to go through this s*it

LETHAL LADY

He makes my ears bleed with his shouty ****e. Clicked on many of his documentaries due to their titles and the minute he showed his face had to turn it off. Performance me hoop.

You mean the guy with the different name?

Unlikely.

Always enjoyed the end of Jones' appearance on the BBC.

(Skip to 5:25 - can't work out how to time-embed?)

I know America's big and has lots of diverse views, but still worrying that nuts like this get so much exposure.

Well he's not really but he annoys a lot of leftists, so that is a good thing.

Solid argument there. I congratulate you on your cogent thinking processes.

He egged his audience on to harass the families of victims of Sandy Hook as he claimed they were actors. There is literally nothing good about him. He's utter scum. Really set your standards low on what people are good for society.

No different from the young turks or MSNBC or any other propaganda network.

He’s a very canny business man who invented this persona to sell idiots millions of dollars worth of vitamins, snake oil and water purification tablets because they’re gullible enough to believe his nonsense.

Alex Jones is a self-made multi-millionaire who got there by selling stupid people things they don’t need by telling them lies about rubbish they want to believe.

Are they propaganda networks?

The limit of your logic seems to be that your enemy's enemy is unquestionably your friend.

Well, in this case, he's a ****ing nutjob.

There really is nothing admirable about him at all.

Get back to me as soon as any of the above pull any of the **** he has pulled in relation to Sandy Hook families.

Yes because the young Turks and msnbc are both creating wild conspiracy theories and members of the audience then turn around and shoot up a pizza joint or harass the parents of kids in a shooting massacre.

Jones is the tv version of David koresh.

Young Turks do conspiracy theories all the time about conservatives and tell lots of lies.

I did love the time he posted before and after pictures to sell a some bogus supplement in which he barely changed but just got redder.

Good broad sweeping unverified comments there.

And nothing at all about how this makes Jones a "hero"

Care to elaborate on that, as asked earlier?

What do you find heroic about a political televangelist who makes money off gullible people by pimping his products on his show, or who reckons murderous events were staged, or who shouts down any dissenting views rather than engage in debate?


superfurry - in fairness, he is also sucking his gut in in the second photo I think.

You seem to repeatedly ignoring his Sandy Hook conspiracy... You don't seem to mind when entirely innocent victims of crimes fall victim to his bull****. The man simply reports nothing factual, he manufactures what his audience wants to hear regardless of those who are hurt.


Gimme a beneficial thing that he has done? Annoying people does not count.

My view on the situation is pretty much in this video.

cdeb

Well there's a shock. Person with no views of his own points to random video.

Come on - what makes the guy a hero? What makes someone who tells people their kids weren't actually murdered a hero? What makes someone who sells fake products to gullible people a hero? What makes a shouty nothing a hero?

No videos - what's your view?

Are you incapable of explaining it in your own words? You're expecting me to watch a ten minute video instead of explaining why it's good to have a guy who harassed victims of a massacre.
