The only person in the media who was fighting to keep us safe from a global conspiracy run by the elites has now been silenced on the major social networks. Youtube, Facebook, and Spotify have all removed Texas-based conspiracy radio host Alex Jones from their respective services for violation of their terms of service and community guidelines. While these companies cited Jones’ use of hate speech and threats of violence as the reason for his ouster, I think we all know that this is a false flag operation perpetrated by the liberal elite, a group of literal demons (and Rosie O’Donnell) who want to kill you and your babies. Or maybe Jones is just a loudmouth clown who spreads a message of fear and violence in an effort to fleece his listeners through the sale of junk supplements and doomsday prep supplies. The demon conspiracy is more likely, I think.

Jones first appeared in the national spotlight thanks to his radio show out of Austin, Texas. On his show (and InfoWars website), gained a steady following in the wake of the September 11 attacks by promoting theories that the flying of the planes into the World Trade Center was an inside job. As the years passed, Jones offered theories on just about every big piece of news, often declaring the events happened as part of a global conspiracy orchestrated by world leaders. What could have been brushed off as harmless nonsense became much more serious in 2012, when Jones began arguing that the Sandy Hook shooting never happened and that everyone involved and shown in the media were crisis actors. More recently, Jones has been a huge supporter of president Donald Trump, verbally attacking and threatening any person or institution that may impede Trump’s progress or question his credibility.

Jones’ shows often contain aggressive rants full of bizarre accusations that are followed by threats of violence in the name of “protecting freedom.” Typically, these rants are followed by pleas to buy products from the show's sponsors. Many of these products are snake oil supplements and doomsday prep items that Jones has a personal financial stake in. Even if Alex Jones is simply a character created to sell garbage supplements to gullible people, the things he says are not kosher on the platforms he has now been booted from. As expected, Jones responded to the ouster by declaring that Chinese communists control Apple and the others and they wanted him silenced. Seems plausible to me.
