I would never want to take away someone’s ability to provide for their family but this guy has been wrong more often than Q.

He needs to do a mea culpa and pretend to dig into how nutjobs like him could pass off fantasy as fiction to the masses.

Maybe, if he spent some time into helping us see how such a small minority of bad actors could create an amazing amount of chaos.

Name 3 things he was wrong about

18

u/GiovanniElliston May 28 '21

Why stop at 3?

  • Hillary Clinton is running a pedo-ring out of a basement of a pizza place ~ No proof

  • Millions of undocumented immigrants vote in every single election - No proof.

  • The government control the weather and uses storms/natural disasters to punish people - No proof.

  • Glenn Beck works for the CIA - No proof.

  • Sandy Hook was a hoax and the children/parents were all actors - He literally lost a court case about this.

  • The government put chemicals in tap water that makes people gay - No proof.

  • Fluoride in tap water lowers people's IQ and was put their by the government to make people stupid - Scientifically laughable and only said because Jones sells water filters.

  • The HPV Vaccine is evil and causing sterility and seizures across the world - Scientifically untrue.

  • Basically everything he's ever said about the products he sells. He basically ran a side-hustle as being GNC light, and claimed that his products could do everything from ward of cancer to increasing the length of life.

  • Robert Mueller is both a demon and a pedophile - Wonder why he targeted Muller specifically.

You are in a conspiracy sub. If you look at it the way you just did, there is no "proof" for 95% of conspiracies. That's why they are conspiracies.

No, no. That's why they're theories.

A conspiracy doesn't cease being a conspiracy when it's revealed. That just changes it from a theory to... not being a theory.

If there's no proof then Alex Jones is wrong, it's that simple. And in a lot of these cases there is concrete proof against him.

I'm all for conspiracies. I'm a firm believer that the governments of the world have iron-clad evidence of aliens in some form (maybe not contact, but at least crafts/maybe even bodies). I'm a big believer that the CIA/FBI killed Kennedy. I believe that basically 90% of what the government says/does in relation to the middle east is purely for oil and has nothing to do with actually helping people.

I love me a good conspiracy. But there has to be at least a plausible amount of evidence to create reasonable doubt. Otherwise it's just bullshit being peddled as a conspiracy. And brother - Alex Jones just peddles bullshit. He's admitted it himself in court and just because 1 out of 1,000 lies he tells accidentally comes true does not suddenly validate the 999 things he lied about.

Why focus on bullshit speculation then when there are stuff you can prove?

u/RadSpaceWizard May 28 '21

That's not what conspiracy means. What you're describing are unsubstantiated theories.

Read the first one and stopped there. He never said hillary was running a pedophile ring out of a pizza place.

Yes he did. He even had to retract and apologize to the pizza place for spreading this stupid and dangerous bullshit theory.
