Recently demonetized YouTube sensation and professional shouter, Alex Jones, has been in the news frequently lately for — once again — making far-fetched claims about victims of a mass shooting. In this case, the claim that the outspoken students from Stoneman Douglas are paid crisis actors attempting to drum up popular support for draconian gun control measures.
Jones’ tactics have been described in detail before, but essentially he is a master of muddying the waters. By making wild claims at a fever pitch, he can effectively drum up a controversy where none exists. By the time it’s been fact-checked and disproved by legitimate sources, the news cycle has moved on. It’s an obnoxious enough tactic to make you wish someone was willing to use those tactics against him.
Now, professional journalists ought to be discouraged from this kind of reflexive mudslinging. If a journalist puts something to the page, particularly about a real person, it ought to be well-researched and supported by fact for just this reason; headlines and accusations have a tendency to stick around in people’s minds long after they've been debunked. It would be a serious breach of trust for a professional journalist to stick someone with a baseless accusation.
I am not a professional journalist.
Alex Jones is totally a huge anime fan and he makes up his theories based on the plots of the shows he watches. In particular, he loves Neon Genesis Evangelion. Don’t believe me? Here’s Jones explaining the plot of Evangelion to Joe Rogan:
No, seriously, all of that stuff about the ascension of humanity and machine consciousness is, as best as anyone can figure out, the plot of Hideaki Anno’s most well-known franchise, Evangelion. It’s clear what’s going on here: Jones is an anime fan who is having trouble distinguishing anime from reality. While that’s not an uncommon symptom of watching too much anime, in Jones’ case he has an audience and a news show. We even have genuine, completely authentic video evidence that Jones watches Evangelion:
The strange artifacts around the computer screen appear to be an attempt by InfoWars to edit the content of the video. Trust me, I have sources.
All of this combined with the recent demonetization of InfoWars’ YouTube channel suggest a possible bold new direction for Alex Jones: anime analysis videos on YouTube. Think about it: he already has the brand and the persona and there’s definitely a market for it. And very real evidence that exists suggests that Jones may be considering the switch already, as InfoWars just registered the trademark インフオワース Infowaasu. There’s no need to confirm that because it’s true. Don’t look it up.
Anyway, if anyone from InfoWars is reading this: please, please switch to anime analysis. It’s a great new market for the InfoWars store (anime fans love overpriced whey protein and sanitary wipes, it’s a fact). And the Globalist agenda is crucially dependent on the masses being unaware of just how deep Neon Genesis Evangelion is. You’d be doing a lot of good if you switched to making anime analysis videos instead of spreading false information about real people desperately trying to change the world for the better.
Just a thought.
