Career Of Alex Jones

The Alex Jones Show
The Alex Jones Show is syndicated by the Genesis Communications Network to more than 100 AM and FM radio stations in the United States. In 2010, the show attracted around 2 million listeners each week. According to reports, the show has a demographic that leans more towards younger listeners than other conservative pundits due to Jones’s “highly conspiratorial tone and Web-oriented approach”.
“Then they’ll release the big one, and they’ll kill probably half the population of the United States. Folks, I’m telling you right now, I’m sure of it. They’re going to stage terror attacks. I will be very surprised if they don’t stage something by the end of this year.” – Alex Jones Show, 13th Fab, 2009
His Websites
Jones is the publisher and director of the Infowars website. The Infowars website receives nearly 10 million monthly visits, making its reach more extensive than mainstream news websites like The Economist and Newsweek.

Jones also operates the PrisionPlanet.com website.
His Views
Jones has been the center of many controversies, including his promotion of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting conspiracy theories, and his opposition to gun control. He has accused the U.S. government of being involved in the Oklahoma City bombing, the September 11 attacks, and the filming of fake Moon landings to hide NASA’s secret technology. After the 9/11 attacks, Jones began to promote the conspiracy theory that the Bush administration was behind the back.
Jones is known for both his opposition to vaccines and his views on vaccine controversies. Jones is also a vocal gun rights advocate. MTV labeled him a “staunch Second Amendment supporter.” One of his beliefs regarding climate change is that global warming is a hoax made up by the World Bank to control the world economy through a carbon tax. Jones has also been sharply critical of same-sex marriage, tying it in a convoluted way to global aims and, like many religious-right organizations.

“I am here to tell you, 1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms! It doesn’t matter how many lemmings you get out there on the street, begging to have their guns taken. We will not relinquish them! Do you understand?” – Alex Jones
