Alex Jones is a Monster

At 9:35am, twenty year old Adam Lanza enters Sandy Hook Elementary School and opens fire, killing 20 children and 6 adult staff members. The town of Newtown, Connecticut is plunged into mourning. Local law enforcement are left to sift through the carnage in order to identify the victims. Families wait to hear news about the fate of their children.

Two hours later in Austin, Texas, Alex Jones starts his daily broadcast. He immediately recognizes that he can capitalize on this tragedy to forward his conspiracy-laden obsession with "protecting" the Second Amendment.

He wastes no time insinuating that this event could be a hoax staged by the "globalists" to take your guns, even getting his guests to speculate wildly with zero evidence to support their claims.

• So, yes, they'll stage school shootings.
• They have the motive, they have the history.
• [...]
• And my gut is, with the timing and everything that happened
• This is staged.

That night a relative innocently posted the picture of our children with President Obama on Emilie's memorial page. I didn't blame them, knowing most people would do the same—it was a big deal to visit with the president of the United States. On Monday morning, which was just three days after the shooting, hoaxers littered the page with a new conspiracy showing proof Emilie was still alive. These swindlers lifted an old family portrait from a blog Alissa used to write and set it side by side with the picture of little Madeline with President Obama. They made videos and displayed screenshots with yellow arrows pointing accusingly at Emilie and Madeline who were both wearing the same dress. “This,” they claimed wildly, “is proof Emilie is alive because she is wearing the same dress from the portrait on President Obama's lap.”

All the families only want to be able to grieve in peace. But Alex and his followers feel the need to harass and intimidate these families.

• The goth, video game head, rich kid, Prozac head syndrome is the only one that we see that is not government authored.
• There are some government operations where they've been caught red-handed staging mass shootings, especially in Europe, where our own government staged them via Operation Gladio and the NATO option.
• That has been declassified.
• [...]
• So this could be a staged event.

And again the next day.

• They're panicking, throwing everything they've got at this.
• They probably staged it. I mean, my gut is they staged it.
• If they stage Fast and Furious, if they stage all this other stuff, They could have staged this.
• So this could be a staged event.

The next day it got worse. Alex calls out a parent by name, insinuating that the parent was an actor who was putting on a show of grief about the loss of their child. This would lead to direct harassment of Robbie Parker and his family that would continue for years.

• 

  • It is bizarre, ladies and gentlemen.
  • We're finding more and more videos of parents of the children laughing and giggling and looking excited and then saying off-camera, do I read off the card?
  • And then walking up and breaking down on camera on TV.
  • We need to have private investigators look into Sandy Hook. Okay?
  • Hitler blew up his own Capitol building to bring in martial law.
  • Europe, Australia, New Zealand banned most guns after staging mass shootings.
  • The evidence later came out.
  • This thing looks really, really bad.

• 

  • But again, that's almost giving into the hysteria I mean, you've had school shootings on average, maybe, maybe 30 kids a year.
  • 88 total mass shootings, most of them gang-related.
  • One of these things only happens four or five, you know, every four or five years.
  • It really is a hoax.
  • I mean, it's a real crisis for those 20 dead kids, but...

• 

  • Stern, I want to get this message across to everybody right now.
  • Authoritarian foreign banks have taken over.
  • They're running shops.
  • They probably even staged this event in Sandy Hook.
  • You better grow up, folks.

• 

  • We're going to go to break and come back, and we're going to Play a clip from a CNN press conference with Robbie Parker.
  • And then he walks up like he's an actor, and then just breaks down on camera.
  • I mean, it's like, haha, yeah, oh, I'll read this card, okay.
  • I mean, it's like, whoa, whoa!
  • And maybe under the stress, that's just what happened, and then maybe being in front of the camera, maybe it's, I mean, folks, we gotta get private investigators up to Sandy Hook right now.
  • Because I'm telling you, this stinks to highest heaven.

In the clip Jones used, there was nothing about my love for Emilie. No mention of her artistic talents or her bright personality. He stole and defiled the sincere, heartfelt tribute I shared about Emilie to satisfy his own greed. He erased my daughter and, for years, showed this doctored, five-second, deliberately slowed-down video of me on his website as a prop to sell his male enhancement and concentrated beet juice supplements to the tune of tens of millions of dollars a year... and to rile the tempers of his followers, who he turned loose on me.

Over a week later (and 2 days after Christmas) and Alex is still talking about Sandy Hook being a hoax.

• And I gotta say, more and more Sandy Hook does look like it was staged.
• Bare minimum, this guy was under psychiatric care.
• They were getting ready to commit him.
• They're keeping all that stuff sealed.
• Another wind-up toy they turn loose.
• Very suspicious.
• The whole thing stinks to high heaven.

Two days into the new year, Alex is again claiming that the shooting was a staged event.

• So, yes, they'll stage school shootings.
• They have the motive, they have the history.
• [...]
• And my gut is, with the timing and everything that happened
• This is staged.

The mention on the 2nd of the year was not an anomaly. Jones continued to harp on Sandy Hook being used as a false flag to "take away your guns." He claims he called this months ago, and then uses the story to drive people to his website to buy his Supernatural Silver and other snake oil.

• 

  • And remember, oh Alex, you're a fear monger, they'll never try to get our guns.
  • And I said, you watch, there's going to be mass shootings, there's going to be false flags, a month before Sandy Hook.
  • I said, this is the season.
  • Get ready.
  • I'm seeing them roll out the propaganda now beforehand.
  • Just like before Gulf of Tonkin in 63 and 64, they're like, we need to go ahead and put troops in.
  Close
• 

  • They were going to have press conferences with, you know, the poor women talking about their dead children, just like they're doing Sandy Hook.
  • But because it turned out they were the ones behind it, they had to kind of back off halfway and it fizzled.
  • But right on time, Sandy Hook happened.
  • And I saw some more of the foreign media going, conspiracy theorists say that You know, there were multiple shooters.
  • Well, the media always reports multiple shooters because little kids were seeing, you know, people and making the reports.
  • No, we've aired the newscast.
  • It was helicopters and footage and surveillance cameras of multiple guys in camo arrested out in the woods.
  Close
• 

  • How many people will government kill this year?
  • Has an incredible video we produced giving the history of government killing 290 plus million.
  • I kept saying 260 million in the 20th century.
  • Crass Obama photo op exploits Sandy Hook massacre, proven that it staged photos dealing with the dead kids.
  • Just incredibly evil, along with this fake crime.
  • Government democide and disarmament, the greatest threats to... Just a bunch of key videos, articles up at InfoWars[.com] and PrisonPlanet[.com].

At this point, Infowars listeners were on board. They had become invested in the lies Alex was peddling, and were calling for him to step up his rhetoric. Jones was scheduled for an interview with Pierce Morgan, and callers were emploring him to use the opportunity to further the Sandy Hook conspiracy.

• Okay, Alex, and just quickly in passing to my other point, when you get on Pierce Morgan's show, if you would please bring up the gross inconsistencies around the Sandy Hook shooting, indicating it's a government black op and perhaps discuss false flags in general.

Desparate to find anything to take the blame off of the lax gun control laws, Alex focuses in on psychotropic drugs as the reason for the shooting. And then, for some reason, decides that none of the mass shootings are actually real.

• This is World Net Daily.
• Let me show you this article.
• The gigantic gaping hole in Sandy Hook reporting.
• And then it goes on to basically break down that they're reporting on different news outlets, 60 Minutes, that yes, these are confirmed that he was indeed on psychotropic drugs.
• Wow!
• So Aurora and Sandy Hook, I mean, I'll be honest, I've never seen a real mass shooting.

We're almost 3 months removed from the Sandy Hook tragedy, and Alex has made up his mind about the shooting being an obvious staged event.

• And I'm talking to the general public out there, not just the police.
• I harp on the police and military all day because you're where the rubber meets the road.
• But this isn't a game here, okay?
• These globalists are criminals.
• Of course they staged Sandy Hook.
• Of course.
• The evidence is overwhelming.

Alex can't help himself. Even when callers are talking about Illinois Senate bills regarding gun control, Alex can't stop himself from interjecting with calling the shooting a staged event.

• No, that's happened all over the country, and they just ignore it.
• Absolutely, yeah.
• Their answer was to stage Sandy Hook.
• And of course they did it.
• Go ahead, sorry.

In perhaps the most egregious example of Alex's vile attempt to use Sandy Hook to promote conspiracy theories, he invites on Wolfgang Halbig in order to promote Halbig's harassment of anyone associated with Sandy Hook or Newtown, Connecticut.

• 

  • They are teaching people to go to schools and murder children so they don't have to stage them.
  • But they've been unable to get that going so they, you know, have to give us Sandy Hook that was clearly staged.
  • We don't know exactly what they did but we know the official story is a fraud and there was a drill and there was people from anti-terrorism squads running around in the bushes that they tried to deny but we confirmed.
  • And that they're covering everything up.
  • And we're going to be talking to an expert about that coming up.

  Close
• 

  • And he's looking at it and dissecting it like everybody else did.
  • I mean, folks, we've got video of Anderson Cooper with clear blue screen out there.
  • He's not there in the town square.
  • We've got people clearly coming up and laughing and then doing the fake crying.
  • We've clearly got people where it's actors playing different parts of different people, the building bulldoze, covering up everything.
  • Adam Lanza trying to get guns five times, we're told.
  • The witnesses, you know, not saying it was him.
  • People out in the woods.
  • But we've got the investigator here, Wolfgang W. Halbig.
  • I'm going to give you the floor, sir.

  Close

And just in case you were wondering if this was an isolated incident, Alex invites Wolfgang Halbig back on the show a month later and gives him almost 10 uninterrupted minutes to spew his harassment under the guise of "asking questions."

• But we've got the investigator here, Wolfgang W. Halbig, I'm going to give you the floor, sir.
• Go over your 16 points, the problems, the issues, and break down what you believe is a total hoax.
• But you're the expert.
• Break it down for us.

Now that Halbig has been on the show, Alex can refer to "state police investigators" as a way to legitimize his claims -- a common tactic used by conspiracy theorists.

• But I hear you.
• This thing stinks.
• And Sandy Hook was staged.
• We've had state police investigators, others on.
• They had blue screens.
• It's fake.
• We don't know what happened.
• We just know the official story isn't true.
• We're going to get Wolfgang Halbig and others back on this week, breaking this down.

This example comes out of nowhere on his November 7th show. Alex transitions from talking about how CNN is a collapsing example of "dinosaur media" directly to this vitriol:

• And listen, people know Sandy Hook was staged.
• We don't know exactly how it was staged, but it's fake.
• We've had the cops, the state police, the top school, college experts.
• You got kids in rings going in and out of an empty school.
• You got blue screen with Anderson Cooper with his nose disappearing.
• And it's clearly blue screen where the flowers behind him blow and then blow the same way again.
• It's a clip rolling.
• They think you're so dumb, they get up there and have fake newscasts.

Here's another example from later in the year, where Alex is now referring to Halbig as his "top expert" that has confirmed that Sandy Hook was staged.

• I just don't speculate.
• And Sandy Hook, they had noses disappearing, and clearly had green screens, and it was fake.
• And then I've had top experts on that go, yeah, it's fake.
• I mean, if I see something that I can say is fake, I'll say it.

Even when Alex isn't doing his show, his minions let it slip that they're basically ignoring the pleas of the victims and families of Sandy Hook. For instance, here's host Rob Dew filling in for Alex mentioning how the company has gotten correspondence from a victim's parent asking them to stop.

• Now I want to turn to another story from Daily Mail.
• A Florida professor fired for sickening Sandy Hook Hoax Theory after harassing a victim's family over whether their dead son ever existed.
• I'm not even going to mention the son's name, the son that they're referring to, because we've gotten letters from this son's dad in the past, and I mean, you mentioned this kid, and this guy freaks out.

Heslin vs. Jones

Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, parents of victim Jesse Lewis, filed a defamation suit against Jones, Infowars and Free Speech Systems in Travis County, Texas.

Jones was found to be in contempt of court even before the trial started as a result of his failure to produce witnesses and materials relevant to the procedures. Consequently, Jones and Infowars were fined a total of $126,000 in October and December 2019.

Lafferty et al. vs. Jones

Seven families of victims and an FBI agent who responded to the attack filed a defamation lawsuit in Connecticut Superior Court against Jones, Infowars, Free Speech Systems, Infowars Health and others for spreading false claims, resulting in the harassment, stalking and threatening of the plaintiffs.

Jones required to testify under oath

Jones was later ordered to undergo a sworn deposition, along with three other defendants related to the operation of Infowars. He was also ordered to turn over internal business documents related to Infowars. In this deposition in the last week of March 2019, Jones acknowledged the deaths were real, stating he had "almost like a form of psychosis", where he "basically thought everything was staged"

Jeremy Richman commits suicide

Jeremy Richman, one of the plaintiffs, whose daughter Avielle was killed, committed suicide. Jones, through his lawyer, offered condolences to Richman's family, but later that day on his show suggested that Richman had been murdered and that his death had something to do with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference.

Jones wastes no time twisting the story to be about his own persecution.

• 

  • So this is what happens, folks.
  • They make my whole identity this.
  • This poor guy is dead.
  • And there's an image of me, Alex Jones and Jeremy Richman standing hook that kills himself as defamation suit continues.
  • I mean, this is just unbelievable.
  • Father of Sandy Hook shooting victim found dead.
  • Here's the news, WTFSB saying they don't know, probably a suicide.
  • But certainly should be looked into.
  • Now they'll say, Jones says look into how he was found dead in front of the town hall.
  • Yeah, you're supposed to look into murders, look into deaths, look into suicides.
  • So there you go.

  Close
• 

  • Looking at this, shot himself in front of the town hall.
  • I mean, how do I get a fair trial with stuff like this?
  • I've never said this guy's name.
  • Never said his name.
  • Until now.
  • And, obviously, first it's, we don't know he's got gunshot wounds or whatever.
  • Now it's, well, apparent suicide.
  • I mean, is there going to be a police investigation?
  • Are they going to look at the surveillance cameras?
  • I mean, what happened to this guy?
  • This whole Sandy Hook thing is, like, really getting even crazier.

Judge finds Jones liable by default

On November 15, 2021, the judge found Jones liable by default for defamation, for "willful non-compliance" in failing to turn over documents to the families in line with court orders.

Judge Barbara Bellis took the rare step of issuing a default judgment in the case because she said Jones and his companies, Infowars and Free Speech Systems, had failed to turn over documents including records that might have showed how, and if, they had profited from spreading misinformation about the school shooting and other mass killings.

Jones offers families settlement to avoid testifying

Alex Jones offers $1.56 million to the plaintiffs to settle the lawsuits against him and Infowars. The offer was quickly rejected by the families.

This offer works out to about $35 for every day of harassment up to this point. For comparison, Alex Jones made over $800k on a single day in 2020.

Infowars host Alex Jones offered to pay $120,000 per plaintiff to resolve a lawsuit by relatives of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims who said he defamed them by asserting the massacre never happened, according to court filings Tuesday. The offer was quickly rejected by the families.

[...]

Lawyers for the families rejected the settlement offer within a few hours, saying in court filings that it was a “transparent and desperate attempt by Alex Jones to escape a public reckoning under oath with his deceitful, profit-driven campaign against the plaintiffs and the memory of their loved ones lost at Sandy Hook.” Source
