Alex Jones Says He And InfoWars Are Trump's Biggest Supporters And Trump Cites Infowars Stories

Alex Jones has said that he and his viewers are 'the teeth' of the Trump information warfare. Basically, Alex Jones is saying that he is Trump's biggest supporter and that Donald Trump often cites many of Infowars and Alex Jones stories that they post on their website. Like the millions of voters fraud that they randomly claim. There are very many different things Alex Jones absolutely loves about Donald Trump. Alex Jones Donald Trump. Alex Jones Loves Donald Trump. Alex Jones Donald Trump's Biggest Supporter. Alex Jones Trump's Biggest Supporter. Alex Jones Infowars Trump. Alex Jones Infowars Information Warfare. Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones — who believes that both the 9/11 terror attack and the massacre at Sandy Hook were “false flag” operations carried out by the United States government — is again openly boasting about his influence on President Donald Trump. In an interview with the New York Times, Jones said that the audience who listens to him is “the teeth” in the president’s “information warfare” campaign that’s aimed at publicizing the kinds of “alternative facts” infamously pushed by Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway. However, this isn’t just empty boasting on Jones’s part. Trump has regularly embraced a wide range of conspiracy theories — including the belief that vaccines are linked to autism and that President Barack Obama’s birth certificate is a forgery — that were spread by Jones’s Infowars website. “Two weeks ago, Mr. Trump’s quickly debunked allegation that the news media covered up terrorism by Islamic extremists echoed reports on Infowars, including one headline that blared: ‘Scandal: Mass Media Covers Up Terrorism to Protect Islam,'” the Times notes. “Before that, there was Mr. Trump’s false claim that millions of unauthorized immigrants voted illegally for Hillary Clinton, which Infowars had asserted in November.” December 2nd, while the awful news from San Bernardino was erupting, bit by unconfirmed bit, I was surprised by the crisp self-assurance of a couple of bloggers whose names were new to me. They were on it—number of victims, names of shooters, police-radio intercepts. Soon, though, the bloggers veered off from the story that other news sources were slowly, frantically putting together. The information being released by the authorities did not match the information the bloggers were unearthing, and the latter quickly deduced that, like other “mass shootings” staged by the government, in Newtown, Connecticut, and elsewhere, this was a “false flag” operation. The official account was fiction. One Web site that carried the work of these “reporters” was called Infowars. I made do with other sources for news. But I kept an eye on Infowars and its proprietor, Alex Jones, who is a conspiracy theorist and radio talk-show host in Austin, Texas. Jones’s guest on his show the morning of the shooting had been, as chance would have it, Donald Trump. Jones had praised Trump, claiming that ninety per cent of his listeners were Trump supporters, and Trump had returned the favor, saying, “Your reputation is amazing. I will not let you down.” Jones’s amazing reputation arises mainly from his high-volume insistence that national tragedies such as the September 11th terror attacks, the Oklahoma City bombing, the Sandy Hook elementary-school shooting, and the Boston Marathon bombing were all inside jobs, “false flag” ops secretly perpetrated by the government to increase its tyrannical power (and, in some cases, seize guns). Jones believes that no one was actually hurt at Sandy Hook—those were actors—and that the Apollo 11 moon-landing footage was faked. Etcetera. Trump also trades heavily in imaginary events and conspiracy theories. He gained national traction on the American right by promoting the canard that President Obama was born outside the United States—a race-baiting lie that the candidate still toys with on Twitter. But birtherism is only the best-known among Trump’s large collection.
