So... a similar, though less serious, thing actually happened to Alex Jones... way back before Q, I think even before he made the Sandy Hook claims that have since ruined him.

Pretty much, a 'theory' started going around that... Alex Jones... was actually Bill Hicks, in a new identity, who had faked his death, and gotten plastic surgery.

Jones was actually quite flustered, and basically had a few shows where he was like 'guys, come on, hahaha, but no, be serious'.... and then within 15 minutes would be talking with like David Icke about lizard people or something.

Source: Me, I was deep into the conspiracy nonsense, raised by a bunch of dysfunctional right wing fundie nutters, but I managed to pull the eject handle after... well basically going through a conspiricist deconversion, after i went through a christianity deconversion.

Hooray critical thinking, apparently an uncommon trait in my family lineage.

I have no idea if you can still find archives of clips or stories infowars ran on their websitr, but this was a thing that happened.
