THE ALEX JONES DEBATE

The champion of the lunatic fringe, Christian alt-right and Donald Trump personality cultist, Alex Jones has had his Youtube channel removed on the grounds of hate speech, or more specifically for "dehumanizing language" and for "glorifying violence glorifying violence against Muslims, immigrants, and transgender people." I think that liberals, democrats, and socialists could be added to that list. Everybody that Alex does not like is a Satanist apparently. Alex is crying foul on the grounds of free speech.

Alex Jones: a personal perspective.

I first came across Alex at the beginning of the 21st century on the Internet when he managed to sneak inside Bohemian Grove, which is an exclusive male-only club for economic elites and where he filmed a mock human sacrifice theatrical event. Then followed a decade or so of Alex making films on 9-11 and the US police state. Frankly, I considered his occasional films to be insightful. I considered then and still do today, that the US military and economic imperialists were the leading state-terrorist regime on Earth, and they have evidentially a decades-long history of black military operations, covert and overt warfare and the supporting of military coups of the far right around the world and especially in Latin America; they are utterly genocidal and imperialistic. However, I was viewing all this from a European socialist perspective, and not from the perspective of Alex's Christian libertarian capitalism. Even a stopped clock is correct twice a day.

In recent years, however, rather than just making the occasional full-length video, Alex went on to produce a daily news report, which you can still watch on his live-streaming page on: https://www.infowars.com/watch-alex-jones-show/ (I am listening to it as I speak).

My impression of Alex in 2018 is that of a homophobic conspiraloon of the far Christian right and a promoter of hate-speech. Nevertheless, he is very easy to ridicule and to criticise. He is an object of international ridicule. I don't ignore the Breitbart and Alex Jones crowd; i.e., the alt-right/far-right; I listen to them.
