Alex Jones

Nicole Jeffords (2022)

This is a drawing of odious conspiracy theorist, Alex Jones, far right radio host of Infowars who makes many millions of dollars every day, promulgating questionable health products and profiting off the misery of relatives of victims of mass shootings.

He is a fat, ugly loudmouth, without, as far as I can tell, a single saving grace.

He exists to make outrageous claims about events that have happened in real time, witnessed by numerous bystanders, and that are part of everyday reality — and yet, according to Jones, these were false flag events with phony actors. Think about it: 20 children and 6 adults massacred in Newtown, Connecticut and yet the victims were all actors, covered in …. I guess ketchup.

That’s the level Alex Jones operates on. Pointlessly saying things are false that are provably true, just to get a rise out of people and sell his sham health products.

Despite all this, there are people who love him and thrive on his lies and crazy point of view. Why? Someone once told me that conspiracy theorists’ brains are wired differently from others, which would mean their followers are wired differently, too. I can’t think of a single other reason for this man’s success.
