Revision as of 06:43, 10 April 2017
Texan radio host and Conspiracy Theorist, Alex Jones is an ultra-conservative/ libertarian who purports that the elite is plotting to kill us all any minute now via vaccines, food, fluoride and pretty much everything, really. He's also the guy who snuck into Bohemian Grove and took video, which he claims shows the world Elite about to sacrifice a baby to Molech. He's also a 9/11 truther who, if you believe everything he's said over the years, believes that the US military trained the pilots who crashed the planes into the Twin Towers and that the planes weren't real.
Tropes applicable to Jones and/or his conspiracy theories:
- Catch Phrase: "You can't make this up, people!"
- Conspiracy Theorist: A rather famous one.
- Media Research Failure: His "review" of the film Watchmen.
- Did Not Do the Research: He claims that the guys at Bohemian Grove were sacrificing a baby to the god Molech. The statue which he claims represents Molech is an owl. Molech is a man with the head of a bull, and the "baby" is an effigy which is supposed to represent the "dull cares of conscience."
- Everything Trying to Kill You: Alex thinks that just about everything is part of a massive global conspiracy by the Elite to kill off the little people.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Alex Jones himself.
- Identical Stranger: He looks a lot like Bill Hicks. This video postulates Bill faked his own death and is now Alex Jones and while YMMV on how true that is, they do share a resemblance.
- Insane Troll Logic: Exactly how he concludes that some of the things he reports about are evidence of an evil conspiracy is befuddling.
- I Shall Taunt You: He tries this on people, presumably so he can sue them if they react.
- Kill'Em All: The goal of the Elite, according to Alex.
- Large Ham: So much that fellow ham Cenk Uygur was amused at his behavior.
- Stealth Parody: Possibly used against him in the rotoscoped film Waking Life. In it, he is shown yelling one of his monologues over a car loudspeaker, while the animation slowly increases his skin hue to brighter, darker shades of red. This could just be a simple exaggeration used in many pieces of animation, or a reference to the imprisoned psychopath who is shown in the same way earlier in the movie while he loudly and publicly devises the most harmful and painful way to kill the people who got him into prison in the first place.
- We ARE Struggling Together!: An attempted collaboration with fellow conspiracy loony Jeff Rense resulted in a very vicious falling out between the two, mainly because both of them suspected the other of being a double agent for the 'other side'.
