Did Alex Jones actually claim Sandy Hook was fake or only make crisis actor allegations?
posted 3 years ago by AbleistSL 3 years ago by AbleistSL +23 / -0

In regards to Alex Jones getting gouged to hell via malicious prosecution in an attempt to bankrupt him, I was wondering if he actually said sandy hook was some sort of hoax or if he simply made crisis actor allegations?

I used to listen to him, and I think the whole "crazy conspiracy guy" thing was mostly just a meme. He was more of a libertarian/patriot guy who called out things like media bias or the governments using false flags to infringe on peoples rights.

I think his cancelling isn't just about targeting him specifically, its more about making him into an example to condition people into thinking that free or fair speech is a danger that must be stopped otherwise it leads to people getting hurt somehow.

Oh I generally agree. Like seeing him on Joe Rogan a few times you could tell how he was having almost too much fun with it, especially when he was trying to find some way to troll/torment Joe.

And in his early years, he would've found himself popular with some of the anti-war and anti-neocon left-wing sorts from back during that era.

And I generally agree, I don't think it's him or what he was saying specifically that made him such a tempting target. Besides the message it sent, I think it was almost personal, because of the kind of "loud" and anti-establishment sort that he represented and how the MSM and the elite have grown increasingly annoyed by people like him. Essentially, they wanted to bloody someone's nose, and he was the easiest gazelle they could pounce on.

I found him in the late 90s and that's the sort of left-winger I was at the time so he resonated pretty well with me.

Yup, same here. It's still so very bizarre how everything's played out since way back then.
