Alex Jones
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Alex Jones' is a controversial documentary film producer who vigorously works to investigate his claims that a New World Order is attempting to conquer the world. Most would characterize him as a conspiracy theorist, though Jones and his supporters bristle at this label, and refer to him as an independent investigative journalist.
Getting his start with a call-in format cable access television program in Austin, Texas, Jones' manic speaking style and startling accusations against the United Nations, the Federal Government, shadowy secret societies, nefarious multinational corporations and other staples of conspiracy theory eventually landed him a call-in radio show which is broadcast on a number of AM and FM stations around the United States, as well as on shortwave radio. Jones still broadcasts his show on public access television in Austin, Texas.
Alex Jones has produced a series of videos including Dark Secrets: Inside Bohemian Grove in which he infiltrated the annual secret gathering of the Bohemian Club. He has published video footage purporting to be the Cremation of Care ritual, in which some of the most powerful men in the world allegedly stage the sacrifice of a human being. His other films include 9-11: The Road to Tyranny, Police State 2000, Police State 2: The Takeover, and Police State 3: Total Enslavement.
Major themes of Jones' work include the emergence of a totalitarian world government, political intrigue, erosion of civil liberties and US national sovereignty, the misuse of government power, corporate deception, government corruption, and cohesion between disparate power structures. Jones' politics are essentially libertarian; he is an outspoken advocate of American Constitutional minimalism in government and extensive individual liberties, and vehemently opposed to internationalism, free trade, and institutions furthering these causes.
He has occasionally made inaccurate statements regarding public officials on the issue of gun control. During the California recall election, Jones' website included an offsite link to a news article; the website claimed the article stated that Arnold Schwarzenegger would implement strong gun control legislation if elected. But the article made no such statement, and Schwarzenegger is in fact very much in favor of gun rights.
Among conspiracy theorists, he's thought to be among the most well-supported investigators in the field today. Many of his documentaries are funded by the BBC.
Jones is something of an offbeat local celebrity in his hometown of Austin. He appeared in Richard Linklater's feature film Waking Life as himself, spouting his trademark firebrand rhetoric. He has been featured on Good Morning America, 20/20 Downtown, 60 Minutes, The Discovery Channel, A&E, and Court TV.
