Well this is an unexpected turn to climate change denial.
I guess the “it’s real but it’s too late” is not as useful as “it’s real and ifs caused by [inset scapegoat]”
Really didn’t see this coming, which shows how satire can’t hold a candle to the stupidity of reality.
Not a conspiracy theorist but a scam artist.
Pretty sure he doesn't believe those lies, he's just scamming the poor bastards that do.
I listen to Knowledge Fight and they find him in his lies regarding his beliefs all the time. It's an act.
That's what he said, under oath, during his divorce.
That any double digit percent is falling for this bullshit is a sad commentary of the state of the world today. And I'm not singling Americans out because there are plenty of idiots on the other side of the ocean as well.
can confirm (source: am on the other side of the ocean and certified idiot). But this is beyond even my level of idiocy. The part on 9/11 is really the icing on this shit cake: he manages to pit two conspiracies against each other:
GOP Talking Head: The Democrats are pushing the point that we are allowing climate change to make storms worse and a large part of our base are getting affected by the storms. What do we do?
AJ: We blame them for the storms.
GTH: Nobody's going to believe that!
AJ: Have you met your base?
For those who don't know, completely unfiltered Alex Jones fits almost seamlessly into the 40k universe and that's bonkers.

That was- I cannot convey just how insane that was using spoken language. I think I'd need to smash a watermelon, aim a sandblaster filled with crushed seashells and desiccated termites at it, start blasting and let my intuition do its thing until something resembling art was produced. Possibly while doing interpretive dance and making primal guttural grunting noises. That would get me pretty darn close to properly communicate my thoughts on what I saw. Thank you.
This might be a good representation of what you're feeling
Jeez, this guy is like Rush Limbaugh on meth.
Big question: So when they're in control of the weather, why not send hurricanes to Ukraine/Russia instead. Or China? Or Iran? Or Irak? Or Gaza? Or ...
Why not lock down the midwestern vote by ensuring perfect weather for all the farmers?
Cause the machine sits in Guantanamo Bay due to a deal Biden made with Fidel Castro's ghost.
Please. Let's not post conspiracy theories in the news channel.
Unfortunately, what he says is influential because idiots, and it affects the rest of the world because US elections.
Wasn't this motherfuckers show broken up and to be sold to pay the billions he owes? How is this asshole still allowed to go on the air and spew this bullshit?
well, but it is news that Alex Jones is at it again.
For anyone confused where these ideas originated from, I found out some articles from NOAA stuff like these:
Can human intervention diminish the force of a hurricane? From the mid-1960s through the early 1980s NOAA actively pursued Project STORMFURY, a program of experimental hurricane modification
https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hrd_sub/modification.html
And I think in Wikipedia there were statement about using laser to warm the water a few degrees to pervent storms from forming..
Thank you. This is the stuff we should all one made aware of. Some of the craziest conspiracies are founded in some truth. This is why I find it so concerning. It doesn't take much effort for some people to become believers in the theory that "climate change" is a hoax.
Because information travels at the speed of light and crazy headlines like this are attention grabbers, millions more people are exposed to mistruths. This is why we are where we are today. Misleading headlines. Social media. Engagement algorithms. It doesn't matter how smart you are or what your politics are. I see misleading headlines and stories written all day every day. Then people just go to the comment section to "inform" themselves without reading the article or the source material or the entire context of a video clip, etc.
I thought one of the main drivers of these storms WAS warm water? How would adding more energy into the system lessen the storm?
If dems could control weather why wouldn’t they use it for the benefit of States they favored, like maybe ending the drought in California or putting out the wildfires there or in the PNW?
Isn't he supposed to be liquidating his equipment and not using it to get into more trouble. 🤔
Didnt this guy just get bankrupted?
If Trump can be convicted for his actions and still get more money and still run for president, Alex Jones can lose lawsuit after lawsuit from being a total fucking moron and still be a total fucking moron.
Yep, fuck you Jones and hope you make a lot of money's for the sandy hook parents
See legal eagle on YouTube for more info
Yeah yeah go cry some more big stupid crocodile tears about it, ya whiny bitch.
you mean like the nuke that trump said he was going to use against a hurricane?
Here’s the thing… If we can control the weather so easily, why can’t the Republicans? Have they not figured it out yet? I don’t want to vote for someone who can’t even destroy Florida on a whim with a few clouds.
it's the whole secrete society Illuminati thing.
guess it takes morethan stripping him of his assets to shut his lying mouth off
They create an enemy other that must be incredibly powerful but also pitifully weak. Wildly intelligent yet also fundamentally stupid.
Nononononono, controlling the weather is how democrats keep power.
Like when Trump redirected that hurricane (with a Sharpie), but it continued on its predicted path. Fucking democrats, man.
(I hope this is obviously dripping with sarcasm, incase not...
/s
Trump & a lot of republicans taking the spotlight are idiots. Humans can control the weather: unfortunately that's from greenhouse gasses and global warming)
Jones and his ilk believe that they're fighting the literal devil who is using demons in the guise of democrats to plunge the earth into a hell scape of suffering and torment.
That is actually, 100%, bona fide what they believe. Once you're fighting lucifer himself, why would it be out of the realm of possibility for the prince of lies to have a weather control device?
Kamala is Exxon?
Destro! The weather dominator was supposed to be completed months ago!?
Boy this dude’s gonna be pissed when all his livestream equipment gets auctioned off in that firesale to pay his legal expenses.
Most likely his dad will buy it.
His dad’s a billionaire? I did not know that!
I recommend listening to Knowlege Fight. They critique Info Wars episodes.
Why is this even in the news? This is the same kind of dumb shit that would get talked about on AM radio stations and other conspiracy theory circles that nobody paid any attention to because of how completely stupid it sounded to a rational person. Can we stop giving these people any attention?
Man I miss Art Bell
