Alexander Emerick Jones (born February 11, 1974) is an American radio host, social critic and filmmaker. He is best known for questioning the official accounts of the September 11th terrorist attacks, [1] his exposé of Bohemian Grove, [2] and his regular bulletins on the New World Order.

Views

Alex Jones believes that certain elements of the US government are "paid off" and, hence, intent on weakening the USA in order to give up its sovereignty to the European continent[3], which is in turn under the control of global bankers who are beyond the scope of nations states[4]. Jones refers to these bankers and their "minions" as Globalists.

Jones views this group to be so powerful that they have in practice become untouchouble by Nation-state laws, in some cases even by International law. Jones often quotes "Absolute power corrupts absolutely", and argues that the globalists have become corrupted and arrogant in their quest for additional power. He stipulates that the globalists are using the problem-reaction-solution doctrine to instill fear in the public in order to erode civil rights [5] and to advance any agenda they might have even if the cost is innocent lives.

Jones frequently cites the declassified Operation Northwoods document as a telling example of the US federal government's willingess to implement such a strategy. He views the September 11th, 2001 World Trade Center attacks as the most spectacular example in a long world history of problem-reaction-solution events created by "small criminal elements" in the government, and merits himself having predicted the 9/11 attacks in June of 2001 on his public access TV program before they occurred [6].

Jones views that the mainstream media have been manipulated to such a degree that they are no longer doing their job of being the government watch dogs and instead have become "Propaganda Bureau of the corrupt establishment". [7] Jones has openly stated that he has dedicated his career, as radio talk-show host, his websites, and his documentaries, to exposing "the truth" surrounding what he deems as state-sponsored terrorism, police-state incrementalism in the US, and threats to the US and world population, the US Constitution, and US sovereignty.

His research and discovery methods are accomplished mainly by interviewing who he determines are whistleblowers, scientific and historical experts, scholars, political and religious leaders, victims of events, government officials, and the public for his documentaries, publications, and call-in talk-radio show. He also reads and analyzes mainstream news feeds, government documents, think-tank papers, and other publications, and reports his findings through his media outlets. Jones has frequently referred to the mass media articles and reports, publications, and declassified government documents that he finds as evidence to support his claims, calling them "their own documents"[8]. He states these articles are frequently brushed aside and ignored by the media and subsequently the majority of the population.

Jones views himself first and foremost as a "freedom-loving American patriot"[9] and has referred to Communism, as is practiced in China, as "an excuse for slavery" [10]. Jones avoids talking in terms of "liberal vs. conservative" or "Democrat vs. Republican"; he views those both as being different spectra of the same threat or as being "two sides of the same coin", as he put it during his monologue in Waking Life[11]. However, he does sometimes refer to "saving the republic" of America. He holds the US founding fathers in high regard and frequently talks about saving the values that are expressed in the American Constitution, which he believes is under threat from things like the USA Patriot Act and the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America agreement[12] between the US, Canada, and Mexico, a significant precursor to the North American Union. Jones has occasionally referred to himself as a constitutionalist on his talk-radio show [13].

Biography

Originally from Rockwall, Texas, Jones began his career in Austin with a live call-in format cable access television program.

His accusations against the United Nations, the United States federal government, shadowy secret societies and multinational corporations eventually led him to produce a similar, nationally syndicated radio show. His show is broadcast via Internet radio through the Genesis Communications Network. Jones still broadcasts his show, InfoWars, on public access television in Austin. [14] He initially appeared on KJFK-FM in Austin until he was fired in late 1999 when the station was bought by a conglomerate [15].

He started his carrer in 1994 [16]

In 1996, Jones switched format to KJFK, hosting a show named The Final Edition [15].

In 1997, he released his first documentary film: America Destroyed By Design.

In 1999, he won that year's "Best of Austin" poll as radio host, voted by Austin Chronicle readers. The same year, he was fired from his KJFK show when the station was bought by a conglomerate, since he did not "broaden" (the Statesman's word) his topics. Jones argued that, "It was purely political, and it came down from on high," and, "I was told 11 weeks ago to lay off Clinton, to lay off all these politicians, to not talk about rebuilding the church, to stop bashing the Marines, A to Z." [15].

In 2000, Jones and his assistant infiltrated the annual gathering of the Bohemian Club.

In June 2001, Jones launched Prisonplanet.com. The same month on the 25th, he warned that a imminent and large attack was going to be directed against Manhattan and probably blamed on Bin Laden [6].

He attended the 2004 election Republican National Convention in New York, and collected footage for his film Martial Law: 9/11 Rise of the Police State.

Jones has long been warning about the end of the USA, and he renewed his claims with the 2005 signing of the North American Union papers [17].

In 2005, he released another film, Martial Law: 9/11 Rise of the Police State.

On February 19, 2006, Jones made a short presentation where he argued a coverup in the Dick Cheney hunting incident. He named it "Scientific proof Cheney's shooting story a lie" [18]

On March 20, he had Charlie Sheen as a guest on his talk show. The interview received mainstream media coverage and commentary by CNN Showbiz Tonight, Fox News' Hannity & Colmes and the Jimmy Kimmel Live (ABC). al-Jazeera stated that it "provoked a media storm" [19].

On June 8, Jones was stopped at the Canadian border and interrogated for 15 hours while on his way to cover the annual meeting of the Bilderberg group [20] at Kanata (near Ottawa), Ontario. Jones reported that he was not the only person detained prior to the conference, saying other political and social activists were similarly restrained [21].

The weekend of June 24-25, Jones organized the "9/11 + The Neo-Con Agenda Symposium" in Los Angeles, California [22] (a.k.a. "L.A. 9/11 Truth Conference"). Charlie Sheen addressed the audience and introduced Jones [23].

Jones personality

Jones' distinct vocabulary, temperament, and body language, in combination with his unorthodox views, have had him often labeled by critics as a shock jock[citation needed], hysterical[24], or insane[citation needed], while his proponents view the same behaviour as passion [25], enthusiasm[26] and righteous indignation[27]. His animated and aggressive delivery is arguably most prominent in his 2002 documentary "9-11: The Road to Tyranny" that he released the year after the 9/11 attacks. He is comparatively more reserved and professional in his delivery narrating his 2006 documentary "TerrorStorm".

He has expressed remorse for the times he used an arrogant or aggressive delivery, since he "speaks from the heart" when he sees "good people with love in their eyes" being treated wrongfully by the "wolves" and "agents of evil".[28]

Some of his often used phrases include:[29]

Videos

Jones has produced a series of videos about the emergence of a totalitarian world government, erosion of civil liberties and U.S. national sovereignty, the misuse of government power, corporate deception, and cohesion between disparate power structures.
