The lawfare continues….
Alex Jones’ INFOWARS broadcasting network has been ordered by a judge to be sold and auctioned off.
Do we even live in America anymore? Because I don’t recognize anything about the country I grew up in.
Here are the breaking reports of the court-ordered sale:
Tragic: Infowars to Be Liquidated and Auctioned Off to Help Pay Sandy Hook Families
This is in addition to the $1 billion Alex Jones was ordered to pay.https://t.co/r79WM6pKjd

Isn’t this called seizing private property?
I do believe the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution is called the “Takings Clause” and states:
“nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”
Which then raises the question: is this taking Alex Jones’ private property for a public use?
And the answer is no.
So then does our Constitution allow taking Private Property for a non-public use in any circumstances?
The answer to that would be a big N-O:
Here are more details from Politico:
Despite the pending loss of his company, Jones vows to continue his talk shows through other means, possibly including a new website and his personal social media accounts. He also has suggested that Infowars’ assets could be bought by his supporters, allowing him to continue hosting his show as an employee under the Infowars brand in their home city of Austin, Texas.
“It’s very cut and dry that the assets of Free Speech Systems, the website, the equipment, the shopping cart, all that, can be sold,” Jones said on a recent show. “And they know full well that there are a bunch of patriot buyers, and then the operation can ease on.”
Jones and his company both filed for bankruptcy protection in 2022 — the same year Sandy Hook families won nearly $1.5 billion in defamation and emotional distress lawsuits against Jones for his repeatedly calling the 2012 school shooting a hoax staged by “crisis actors” to get more gun control legislation passed. Twenty first graders and six educators were killed in the Newtown, Connecticut shooting.
ADVERTISEMENTDuring two civil trials in Texas and Connecticut, parents and children of many of the victims testified that they were traumatized by Jones’ hoax conspiracies and his followers’ actions. They said they were harassed and threatened by Jones’ believers, some of whom confronted the grieving families in person saying the shooting never happened and their children never existed. One parent said someone threatened to dig up his dead son’s grave.
Jones is appealing the civil jury verdicts, citing free speech rights and questioning whether the families proved any connection between his comments, and the people who harassed and threatened the relatives. He has since acknowledged that the shooting did happen.
In June, Lopez converted Jones’ personal bankruptcy reorganization case into a liquidation, meaning many of his assets will be sold off to pay creditors except for his main home and other exempt property. The same day, Lopez also dismissed Free Speech Systems’ bankruptcy case after Jones and the families could not reach agreement on a final plan.
The sell-off order Lopez intends to approve would put Infowars’ intellectual property up for auction on Nov. 13 including its trademarks, copyrighted material, social media accounts and websites. Jones’ personal social media sites, including his account on the social platform X, which has 2.8 million followers, would not be included.
However, the trustee overseeing Jones’ bankruptcy case, Christopher Murray, said Tuesday that he may soon seek court permission to also liquidate Jones’ personal social media accounts and his other intellectual property — which Jones’ attorneys have opposed. That issue could develop into another court fight in the bankruptcy case. Murray also is expected to sell many of Jones’ personal assets.
The Sandy Hook families who won the Connecticut lawsuit want Jones to lose his personal social media accounts. Their lawyers further contend that the families should get a chunk of all of Jones’ future earnings to help pay off his more than $1 billion debt.
Christopher Mattei, a lawyer for the Sandy Hook families in the Connecticut lawsuit, said the judge’s signing of the auction order will be “a significant step forward” in the family’s efforts to make Jones pay for his hoax lies.
“Alex Jones will no longer own or control the company he built,” Mattei said in a statement Tuesday. “This brings the families closer to their goal of holding him accountable for the harm he has caused.”
ADVERTISEMENTThe rest of Infowars’ assets, including computers, video cameras and other studio equipment, would be sold at a different auction on Dec. 10.
Oh the irony:
1999 Alex Jones creates InfoWars with the message that the Government wants to take away our free speech
25 years later InfoWars is to be sold off to help pay a $1.5 Billion penalty because some people did not like his reporting 🤔 pic.twitter.com/xNFCr91MHt

Perhaps not ironic at all….perhaps always expected.
NBC News had more details:
Christopher Mattei, a lawyer for the Sandy Hook families in the Connecticut lawsuit, said the judge’s signing of the auction order will be “a significant step forward” in the family’s efforts to make Jones pay for his hoax lies.
“Alex Jones will no longer own or control the company he built,” Mattei said in a statement Tuesday. “This brings the families closer to their goal of holding him accountable for the harm he has caused.”
The rest of Infowars’ assets, including computers, video cameras and other studio equipment, would be sold at a different auction on Dec. 10.
Jones has made millions of dollars over the years selling dietary supplements, apparel, survival gear, books and other items he promotes on his shows, which air on the internet and dozens of radio stations. It’s unclear how much money would be raised by selling Infowars and Jones’ assets, and how much money the Sandy Hook families would get.
Jones has about $9 million in personal assets, according to court filings. Free Speech Systems has about $6 million in cash on hand and about $1.2 million worth of inventory, according to previous court testimony.
Lawyers, financial experts and others who worked on Jones’ bankruptcy cases — who have racked up millions of dollars in fees and expenses — are expected to be paid first.
A remaining legal dispute in the bankruptcy case is whether Free Speech Systems owes more than $50 million to another Jones-owned company, PQPR Holdings Limited. Free Speech Systems buys dietary supplements from PQPR to sell on the Infowars website. PQPR said it wasn’t paid for many of the supplements and filed liens. Sandy Hook lawyers allege the debt is bogus.

I have a question….
Just as we saw that Project Veritas was nothing without James O’Keefe, and he later went on to simply form a new company, won’t the same thing happen here?
What MORON would buy INFOWARS knowing it won’t come with Alex Jones?
You’re buying nothing.
You’re buying vaporware.
How stupid all around!
But I want to end by talking about all the (illegal and unconstitutional?) lawfare against Alex Jones.
Do you know the true story of these cases?
It’s perhaps NOT as you’ve been brainwashed errrrrrrr I mean “told” by the so-called “Mainstream Media”.
I want to end by showing you this recent interview of Alex Jones by Glenn Beck.
They tell the full story and I think it might below your mind.
Watch here:
Full transcript:
Glenn Beck:
It’s been said that my next guest presides over a conspiracy empire. It’s been said that he’s the most paranoid man in America. But today, I wanted to spend some time and find out the person behind the persona. The person, uh, just trying to find out who he really is beyond all the labels and let him tell the story, and you decide for yourself—is he a truth-teller being persecuted into submission, or is he a sensationalist being brought to justice, or is it a little of everything? In the end, you have to decide.
This has been controversial, even in my own building, to have him on. But I believe in free speech, even for people that I disagree with. If we lose the freedom to speak, there is no freedom. So today, I welcome to the podcast a man I honestly never thought I would sit down with—Alex Jones.

Alex Jones:
Welcome, Alex. How are you?
Glenn Beck:
It’s great to have you here.
Alex Jones:
Yeah, thank you. Um, you are a hard guy to, uh, find anybody neutral about. There’s nobody neutral. You know, I was talking to my producers, and they said every source we find either loves him or absolutely hates him. Who are you? People think you’re a villain or a hero. Talk to me about both of those labels—who are you?
Alex Jones:
If I had to quantify it, more like a Tasmanian devil. I mean, not really a bad guy, but we kind of get out of control, wild, especially when I was young. I mean, I’m 50 now, and I’ve always tried to tell the truth, always tried to be accurate. But I look back on being on air 30 years, completely self-taught since I was 20 on access TV, got a local radio show, and got self-syndicated on some markets, and started making documentary films. So I’m completely self-taught, and so I’ve kind of gotten educated over the 30 years. I mean, I was always in, like, reading books written by the globalists and studying history, and that was always fascinating.
Most of the information was accurate, but there wasn’t much perspective of time. Interviewing thousands of people, and all the experiences, and then making the mistakes I’ve made…
Alex Jones:
…but I never, like the corporate dinosaur media, tried to deceive people. In fact, it was the opposite. There wasn’t like some big formula to it. And when I got sued by the lawfare deep state— which they know it’s the Democratic party and the FBI, Justice Department—doesn’t even come out in court and in undercover videos, uh, they kept saying, “Who’s your boss? Who’s telling you to say this? Who’s doing it?” And it was—it was all me.
Glenn Beck:
So you are on this recent, uh, I mean, you were completely pushed out of the media, um, and it was the kiss of death to even say your name. Um, and now you’re kind of having this resurgence. What is the difference between you then and you now?
Alex Jones:
That’s a big question. Uh, short answer, long, medium answer?
Glenn Beck:
No, whatever—we have all the time in the world.
Alex Jones:
I’ve only started to do kind of introspective things on myself in the last five years or so. And I didn’t realize how big my show was even 25 years ago or 20 years ago or 15 years ago. And I—I would also, you know, joke around and be sarcastic and have a lot of satire. And then they would mix that in with something I said an hour later, very serious. And I—I guess attacks, in a way, made me bigger, a lot bigger, but I really wasn’t even thinking about that. So it was kind of seat of my pants. And then now being 50 and having a 21-year-old son, 20-year-old daughter, 16-year-old daughter, 7-year-old daughter, and just, you know, having a divorce and going through all that, and just experiencing death and getting older and, you know, having a lot of your friends and family die. Uh, it’s just—it’s just I’ve become more retrospective, and more, you know—I’m not going to say nostalgic—the world’s gotten a lot darker.
So much of what I said was going to happen, because it was in the actual globalist white papers and crystal ball, came true. And so people started taking what I was saying a lot more seriously, and then kind of cherry-picking the mistakes or things out of context. So I realized I have a much larger responsibility. It’s cheesy, but it’s true— with great power comes great responsibility, like Spider-Man. And I’ll be honest about it, because I—I want to be a good example for people.
I was not a big drinker in high school or college. I’d go to a party, drink a few beers while my buddies were throwing up, you know, and things like that. But getting into talk radio 29 years ago and then being around the sales guys, the older guys—still that old radio generation was there, which was a bad—I was in that generation. That was a bad generation.
Glenn Beck:
Bad generation?
Alex Jones:
Bad generation. And so I was going out with the bosses, and they were drinking scotch and smoking cigars, and I liked them—that’s what you did. And I was making more money as a salesman than even my first radio job, and I ended up being like one of the top salesmen there at that station—or the top salesman at one point. And I just slowly got into alcohol. And then it got to where, you know, I drank at night, and then it got to where I started, you know, maybe by the end of the show drinking some, and then, oh, kind of the middle of the show. And then I’d say right when Trump started running is when I would say I became an alcoholic. I mean, I really fell into it, to where I needed it to—to have energy.
So I was drinking when I got into the office. Right when I went on air, I’d have the first drink of, like, vodka soda most days, you know. And—and, uh, it—it never got to, you know, morning drinking or anything, but—but—
Glenn Beck:
So were you buzzed, or were you drunk while you were on the air?
Alex Jones:
Well, we were talking before we went on air here—taped to air—that, uh, that you were saying, yeah, you know, in your days, you told the crew, “We’d have a lot better show if I was drunk.” I mean, I think that’s true some of the time, because it’s vino veritas—it relaxes you. And I’ve known a lot of musicians and people that don’t drink in their regular life, but when they go out on stage, they drink a half bottle of wine. Maybe in a break, they drink another, and then come back out and play five more songs. I mean, there is something to it. It’s—it’s a poison, but it—it was a poison where, starting about nine years ago, is when I really started drinking a lot more. And then by the time Trump got elected, um, I went from being buzzed on air to at least one day a week being drunk.
And I can trace back any problems or issues I’ve had to when I was being honest with the listeners. And so it was the opposite of some big corporate planned-out thing. It was, uh, doing a bunch of research, constantly in the news, really caring. Uh, but then, especially the nighttime shows, you know, sometimes I would go on there with like a live podcast format, and, you know, “I’m going to go ahead and go live at 9:00 PM.” I’d be on there at 2:00 in the morning, and we’d have millions and millions and millions of listeners, you know, tuning in right then. And they were drinking too, probably. And it was—it was crazy.
And then about, I guess, five, six years ago, I started slowly cutting down, and then I just completely quit drinking. And, uh, so it feels great. And the demon’s gone. I have absolutely no desire. I can go out, people are drinking, I can go to a party, I can go to events, and I just want zero. And then I found more discipline. I’m not in great shape because I kind of, you know, almost wrecked my health doing it. Yeah. But, uh, I’ve—I’ve, you know, gotten where I’m starting to do intermittent fasting—it’s really good—and I’ve been exercising more.
Glenn Beck:
So are you—did you go to AA? Do you—do you say you were an alcoholic, and you’re now an alcoholic in recovery?
Alex Jones:
I have gone to AA meetings, but I mean—
Glenn Beck:
I’m trying to label—I’m trying to see how you label this. You had a problem with drinking, and now you choose not to drink? Or you’re an alcoholic, so you’ve sworn it off?
Alex Jones:
You know, I mean, I think AA is really helpful and does a great job. I wouldn’t say I’m like an AA guy, you know, the system that says, “I’m an alcoholic,” in the meetings. I’ve never done that, but I’ve been to them. I’ve gone with some family; I’ve taken friends to it. I’ve probably been, probably 50 times. But, you know, to me, the other times, like pulling away from the last five, six years, and then—and then—and then that’s really the big change. And then down to not very much and then none, uh, for quite a while. I—I mean, I guess the people in AA say they’re always wanting it—it’s always an issue.
To me, I mean, I think it was alcoholic-level stuff. These are all terms, so to me, it’s like being demon-possessed—it’s no longer there. And then you look back on it, and you go, how the hell was I doing that? So I think that’s really what it is.
When I was younger, I didn’t get into road rage and stuff, but if somebody cut me off or yelled at me, I’d flip them off back. I mean, for 25 years or so, I haven’t flipped somebody off. I actually feel sorry for them and wave at them. And even if I’m not in the wrong, I say, “I’m sorry.” That was another thing, where I’d get mad in traffic, and then one day, it just went away.
And—and so, um—but T-bones and, uh, ribeyes and cheesy potatoes, that still got me. But, yeah, Texas is a hard place to live in if you care about your health, ’cause the food is unbelievable, there’s lots of it, and most of it’s fried.
Glenn Beck:
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, chicken-fried steaks—you’re getting that.
Alex Jones:
Yeah, it’s like Merman Roner prime chicken-fried steak. I might go chicken-fried steak.
Glenn Beck:
So who were you as a kid? You said earlier that you had always read about conspiracy stuff. Who were you as a kid? What were your interests as a kid?
Alex Jones:
I didn’t realize growing up here in Texas and both sides of my family founding Texas families—I mean, like really, in the whole thing, creating it—Washington on the Brazos, my ancestors then raised Colonel Travis’ son on my mom’s side, a bunch of other stuff. And then my dad’s side, we still have land here. They got Mexican land grants—still have copies of it laminated from the Mexican government, like 12 or 13 cents an acre. We still have some of that land in East Texas.
So I didn’t realize that I got the Americana upbringing. You know, teaching me about guns at 4, putting Folgers cans out there and shooting them with a .410 shotgun, teaching the power. And then by the time I was six, I was a good shot with a .22. And, uh, a lot of my family—and I didn’t realize it was interesting—were in clandestine stuff and army special operations and things like that.
So growing up on both sides of the family, like my mom’s brother was big in Iran-Contra and all that kind of stuff. So I grew up—
Glenn Beck:
How do you mean “big into it”? Big in exposing it?
Alex Jones:
No, no. In it. Doing it. You know, yeah.
Glenn Beck:
Wow.
Alex Jones:
With army special operations, the CIA, and stuff. I mean, he was a boss. He was building airfields, communication systems down there. But—and he did a bunch—he was a big hero in Vietnam and stuff like that, a helicopter pilot.
But he told me before he died, he did a lot of stuff he was told to do in Vietnam, and that’s why he was promoted to those places. But he said it got to a point that he couldn’t do it anymore. He told me when he died 11 years ago, right when he was dying, he said, “All this stuff you’re covering is real.” He goes, “You know, I got out of this in the late ‘80s when we found out they were using the airfields to fly kids out of Guatemala orphanages. We don’t know where.”
And he—and a bunch of guys—got out of there. And he said, “Reagan didn’t know, but it was Herbert Walker above him.” And, uh, now you hear all about Guatemala and trafficking. This is a lot bigger now. I mean, exponentially, but it’s been going on a while.
And so that—my mom’s dad, uh, was involved, uh, in a lot of U.S. inventions and things behind the scenes, more in the DARPA, ARPA type stuff. And we never learned what that was. So I grew up around hearing him talk about just politics in general. And my dad was really informed, really involved in all sorts of interesting science things.
And then a lot of his family, uh, were involved in the clandestine stuff. And I in the muscle end of it, too. So I just grew up—
Glenn Beck:
What does that mean? Wet work?
Alex Jones:
Yeah. Yeah. Stuff like that.
Glenn Beck:
Wow.
Alex Jones:
Yeah. So, I—I mean, I grew up around that, and I didn’t realize that I was, like, growing up around this. But they were all anti-globalists, anti-new world order, knew all about it. And they were saying, “The government’s being taken over, and it’s bad.” And I’d be like 15, and Limbaugh was just coming on really hot then, syndicated. And I’m like, “Limbaugh’s great!” And they’re like, “That’s bull. The Republicans are controlled too. CFR, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.” You know, “That’s all a controlled paradigm now.” It’s not—and I don’t think Limbaugh was controlled. The point was, he wasn’t to the level of their knowledge and saying all that. So they were just like, “Hey, kid, that’s not what’s going on.” Right? “Read this book.”
And so, if you want to—I mean, my mother has got, you know, a degree in history. And so the house was full of history books. And I liked—I loved comic books. I loved, uh, you know, the pulp fiction written here in Texas, uh, “Conan the Barbarian.” I was reading—I was a really good reader. So I was, you know, reading teenage stuff when I was like 8, 9, 10. And then college stuff by the time I was a teenager. And so I was reading just as much as I could read of that.
And then about eight or nine, I started wanting to read the history books around. And my parents wouldn’t buy me a—a lot of junk. I had to, you know, get a job for a bicycle. It wasn’t that they were hard-working, but if I wanted encyclopedias off TV—and back then there were, you know, TV ads constantly—so they got me the, uh, the Wild West encyclopedia set and World War I encyclopedia set and World War II encyclopedia set. And if I just saw the ads and wanted it, my dad had a lot—he loved encyclopedias. The house was just full of books, and so was his office, everywhere else. And then they would say, “Fine.” I’d write the number down, my mom or dad would call, and then—and so, like, usually once a month, you’d get a new encyclopedia. We had encyclopedias every few days, different types coming. And they were picture encyclopedias, quote, for adults and kids, but they were tailored to everybody.
But I would read all those encyclopedias by the time I was 10 or 11. And then I started reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by Shirer, The Death’s Head by Hohne. I thought that was really fascinating. Then I wanted to know about Russian history. And then I—I read Julius Caesar’s The Battle for Gaul. I read, uh, some of the other, uh, you know, compilations of things they’d written in books—Marcus Aurelius, things like that. I started reading Socrates, Plato, all that stuff.
And then I hit puberty, uh, and I played sports and stuff too. I wasn’t a bookworm. I was swimming and, you know, soccer and football. And then I just went crazy and started, you know…
…started, you know, Dallas—I grew up in Rockwall, but even there it was more, that was kind of the old school. A lot of fist fights, a lot of that stuff. I got, you know, into that.
Glenn Beck:
Yeah, you were—I mean, you were a tough guy in a tough school?
Alex Jones:
Yeah, I mean, it was a pretty nice school, but it was still politically correct. And if you want to get point blank about it, I mean, it was cliques. And so if you weren’t in the certain redneck club—and there were other redneck clubs—then they would start fights with you, the seniors when you were a freshman, or kids that had flunked three times in seventh or eighth grade. And, you know, I had a lot of black friends, they were great, but there was also, you know, some of the black kids would beat up the smaller white kids. And so, I mean, by sixth grade, there’d be people that had flunked a few grades trying to beat me up. And I came home with black eyes, and my dad said, “We’ve got to fight harder.”
One time, a guy’s jumped me when I was 13 and broke my leg, and my dad didn’t file charges or anything. He said, “You’ll kick their ass later.” My dad wasn’t like Mr. Tough Guy, but that was how he was. And, um, that was old school. I saw the new Reagan movie, and it’s based on a true story where the kids come to beat him up, and the mom goes, “Go out and fight them,” and closes the door. That’s how it was.
Glenn Beck:
That’s right.
Alex Jones:
And so—but then I got attention for that and thought it was great by, like, the seventh grade. So then I just started, just, you know… I mean, if I told all the stories, it would sound like I was making it up. I mean, I—I put a bunch of people in the hospital, put people in comas. And they dug around, the Democrats went and found stories about it and twisted what actually happened. But then they took me out of high school when I was 16, sent me to the ranch for a year, and I worked for a large animal vet in East Texas.
Glenn Beck:
What’s the ranch?
Alex Jones:
Uh, we don’t—he doesn’t really have a name. It’s just Jones. I mean, it’s been there forever.
Glenn Beck:
Your ranch?
Alex Jones:
Yeah, home place. I mean, it used to be really big. Now it’s mainly woods. Over time, they’ve sold it and sold it and sold it, down to a few thousand acres of woods. There’s some pastures and stuff. But I say I went to the ranch. They got me a job with a large animal vet, I did that for a year, and then my dad sold his dental offices here in Dallas, and we moved to Austin, and I finished two years of high school. So I was in high school five years. Got straight A’s then, and became a prep, and just wanted to get out. But Austin was more liberal—the good side of liberal—so no fighting, nothing ever happened. I think there was one fight in two years there. I just kept my mouth shut and hung out with college kids, and I was done. And so, I’ve never been in any trouble since then. But I—I got arrested quite a bit, got put in solitary confinement. They—they always dropped it because I never started the fights, but when the police pull up and there’s a big, you know, big guy, you know, with blood coming out of his ears and having convulsions on the ground, they, uh, they take you to jail.
Glenn Beck:
Yeah.
Alex Jones:
And one time they didn’t get a hearing for about a week and a half, so I was in, uh—they would take you from Rockwall out to the Temple, back then it was the big juvenile detention center. Let me tell you, a week and a half of juvenile was—I never want to go back to jail after that. And I was like, “Hey, just send me away.” Because by then, everybody wanted to fight me. I mean, I’d be, you know, I’d be in a McDonald’s with a girlfriend, and there’d be some big guy coming in, “You put my little brother in a coma, I’m gonna kill your ass.” Some huge guy. I mean, it would be on.
And then I was in the McDonald’s parking lot fighting this guy, and he was like a convict, and he was kicking my ass, even though I could fight really good. And some other big guy jumps out and attacks him. It was—it was a different culture that’s kind of faded away, but people that know knew Texas 35 years ago will tell you that’s how it was. Very rough. If you looked at somebody wrong in Dallas or anywhere around it in the late ’80s, early ’90s, you were going to be in a fight. So it was kind of like the old western where they go, “You looked at me wrong in the bar,” actually based on real stuff, right?
So this is—I’m trying to toughen up. I’ve never even told these stories.
Glenn Beck:
Right, so you are—this is high school?
Alex Jones:
Yeah, I was a—I was a hellion from about 12 to 16.
Glenn Beck:
So bookworm to hellion?
Alex Jones:
Yes. Well, the testosterone kicked in.
Glenn Beck:
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Alex Jones:
Um, and then you graduate from high school?
Glenn Beck:
Yep.
Alex Jones:
What happened?
Alex Jones:
I went a couple of years, uh, to community college. I had decent grades. I could go to college, but I went and checked out the RTF (Radio-Television-Film) thing. I kind of wanted to do that, and I went and checked it out, and it was just way behind. Because I was already reading books about it, and I was—I was like, “Computers are going to be the thing,” but we’re not… It was like whole courses for a couple years on the history of radio and Marconi and the Mercury Theater and all that’s interesting, but… And then all their theories were like 10-year-old stuff. So I would put in resumes, and they laughed at me. They even played some of my tapes on local radio and said, “This guy wants a job, he’ll never get one,” where I did like fake ads and also broadcasts.
So I went, “Hey, Access TV.” So when I was 20, I went and did Access TV, instantly got popular, and then I got a call from a guy—
Glenn Beck:
What were you doing?
Alex Jones:
I mean, I was talking about the, you know, the New World Order, same stuff. So people find 30-year-old tapes, they go, “Damn, this all happened.” Yeah. I mean, now those videos from 25, 26, 27—even they found 30-year-old tapes—yeah, and it’s me in a control room. I didn’t have a crew, so I’m in the control room at Access TV, and the clock counts down. It’s like a soapbox, you’re on air. I’m holding up magazines and talking. Even those have been found.
And, um, then a guy named—his handle was SharkMan. He’d been national on Z-Rock back when I was there, but it imploded down to one station in Austin, 98.9. And they were shifting from that to talk—G. Gordon Liddy, Rush, all that. And he said, “Hey, you want a Saturday show? I’ll give you one. I won’t pay you, just come in.” And they’d already been on air a few weeks, and nobody was calling their local shows that came on after, you know, Stern and Liddy and all them. And instantly, all 10 phone lines light up. He goes, “Fine.”
And then I said, “Can I make money being a salesman?” And then they put me on weeknights about a year later. And then I found out about satellites and talked to a group in Michigan that could put me up, and then I put it up and I called the stations myself. Got on more than 50 stations by the time I was like 23.
Glenn Beck:
Wow.
Alex Jones:
And then it kind of just—that’s what happened. So it was—it was all just trying to—it was all very exciting. And then I said, instead of having a newsletter or a coffee mug, you know, to get the word out and make money and expand what I’m doing, because I want my own little studios, I said, “I’ll just make documentary films.” And, uh, computers were just getting affordable then, but it would take hours to edit one minute. So I was in there shooting on a DV cam. This is like 26 years ago, 27 years ago. But then you’d have to still dump it down to three-quarter inch tape, and I’m at the access studio editing it.
So, and then those exploded. And, and brought in a lot of revenue, so I got a little office, hired a few crew, and that’s basically what happened. By about 1998, I had an office and crew, and was doing my own thing and built a little studio and also had one in my house.
Glenn Beck:
Where did you get your entrepreneurial, uh, spirit and—and expertise to be able to put all this together?
Alex Jones:
I mean, I had jobs from the time I was about 10. I remember I was asking for a new bike, and my dad said, “You need a job.” And I was pretty smart, and I said, “Well, there’s child labor laws.” He started laughing so hard, he goes, “Watch this.” And, uh, there was a big marina there in Rockwall by the golf course, and he went and talked to one of the old vets who might have had a couple boats there, and said, “Will you get my son working here? Pay him whatever you want.” And he goes, “Sure.” And because I would do work, about a year into the job they were paying me a lot more, and I was power washing boats and stuff. And I—and then I—and then he got me a job after school, um, and the school bus would drop me off at like 3:30 at a local veterinary, small animals, by the time I was about 11. And so I was cleaning out cages, and then pretty soon, you know, helping, you know, sedate the dachshund before it gets neutered or spayed.
So I kind of had the veterinarian thing there. And then I—and I worked in, you know, fast food jobs and all that kind of stuff. And I—and I had a lot of entrepreneurs in my family’s history. And so I just knew that I was like, “Why am I going to go to college?” You know, which—which most people know now. I’m not saying it’s all bad, but for most jobs, it’s kind of a waste. For this job, it absolutely is.
Glenn Beck:
Absolutely.
Alex Jones:
So I just basically—it was just as long as you’re an intelligent person and you don’t mind reading an awful lot…
Glenn Beck:
Exactly.
Alex Jones:
…you just figure it out as you go.
Alex Jones:
…And then I snuck into Bohemian Grove in 2000.
Glenn Beck:
Now hang on just a second—before that, you ran for the House of Representatives in Texas, did you not?
Alex Jones:
Only for a week.
Glenn Beck:
Only for a week?
Alex Jones:
Yeah, one of my friends said, “Hey, it’ll be great. You can get up on the soapbox in these debates,” and he wanted to be the campaign manager. As soon as I talked to a lawyer and saw the campaign laws and realized I wasn’t able to do my show all the time, I was like, “This is the bottom floor.” I said, “No way.” I didn’t want to—I said, “I want to affect things in the media, I don’t want to try to run for office when I’m 25 years old.”
Glenn Beck:
Right. So then you went to the Bohemian Grove. Take me from there.
Alex Jones:
Well, that was kind of ahead because I mean, people never ask these questions, I never really tell these stories.
Glenn Beck:
I honestly don’t know how it all started with you, so this—I think this is fascinating.
Alex Jones:
Okay, well, uh, like ’98, I had the number one show in the time slot at night. It won the local reader’s poll a couple of times, and then it started getting picked up nationally. Jay Leno talked about my show and played some clips, and it got picked up in the national news. And I started getting on shows like Hard Copy and Extra—they would come do stories about me without even asking. And I started getting called and flown out to Hollywood every few weeks to be on conspiracy, you know, panel shows and stuff. And the management got political pressure on them. The station was owned by a chain of stations out of Scranton, Ohio—it was Shamrock Communications.
They literally flew the general manager down there, and he said, “Listen, you’re a good talk show host, but you’re going to do, uh, you’re going to do relationships and sports and stuff.” And I said to him, “Listen, I already have a little office, I’m selling films, and I’ve already got a studio.” I was already doing a two-hour show during the day and then driving across town to do a show at night. They laughed and said, “You’re not on radio stations.” I said, “Yes, I am.” He goes, “No, you’re not, kid, don’t lie to me.” I was like, “Wow, he doesn’t know I hooked an ISDN line here and got permission, and I’m syndicating this show.” They didn’t even know the show had already gotten a lot of attention. And I wasn’t rude to him, I just said, “Okay.” I figured, “Well, these guys don’t know what they’re talking about.”
Then they called up two months later, and the general manager called me at the local station and said, “You’ve got to stop, or they’re going to fire you.” I said, “I can’t stop. Go ahead and fire me.” He goes, “Well, I’m not firing you, I’m going to run the YMCA here in Austin.” A great guy named Mark Caesar. He was all about freedom of speech. A few months later, they fired me. And I was like, “This is the best thing ever!” It was all over the national news, and they thought the left was like, “We got this guy.” I wasn’t even super right-wing—I was libertarian, but I didn’t like the Clintons. I was talking about them a lot on air and having some big guests on.
Boom! All of a sudden, I got a whole bunch more radio stations out of that. I had already sent flyers out and called them. I was doing ads in Radio & Records and saying, “Pick up my show.” So I was doing four or five interviews a day, sometimes 20, and going on a lot of late-night shows and things.
Glenn Beck:
Did you see yourself more as an Art Bell or a serious kind of journalist?
Alex Jones:
I didn’t cover the UFO thing very much because I couldn’t prove it.
Glenn Beck:
Yeah.
Alex Jones:
And so, I didn’t really think of myself as a journalist. I thought, “Here’s a UN report,” because I’d go to the library all the time back then—you couldn’t get them online. I’d go to the UT Library, and the librarians loved it because I wanted stuff that was in the stacks. I’d say, “I hear this is here,” and they’d go back, come back in a week, and give me all this stuff because they loved that. I’d be on the radio, and that’s why I started doing a website and making documentaries. Because I could actually show people and say, “Oh, you don’t believe there are UN signs at the parks? You don’t believe there’s a treaty signing it over as collateral?” Which they now admit—and a lot of countries signed their national parks over to Pfizer as collateral if the vaccine hurts people. Brazil was in a fight over that.
And I was just exposing all this wild stuff, and to me, I was reading books written by Henry Kissinger, going and getting them, and reading them on air, like you do with a chalkboard and all the graphics. I didn’t even see it as like, “I’ve got credentials.” I was just discovering it.
Glenn Beck:
Exactly.
Alex Jones:
It’s like you wake up at 2 a.m. to the dogs barking, and the neighbor’s house is on fire. You’re not a firefighter, you’re not an arson specialist, but you call 911 and go knock on the door to make sure your neighbors are okay. There’s fire shooting out. So I was more of an alarmist, kind of a Paul Revere type. I don’t know exactly what’s going on here, but look at this.
And then I’d go down to the legislature when they were trying to pass a law to ban semi-autos. I’d have a little video camera, and I’d have one guy with me, and we’d literally—I caught this on tape, the NRA picked it up, it was huge in the late ’90s—there’s literally a gun control advocate telling young black men to testify that they’re criminals to ban guns. I got it all on camera, but they flipped it on me. The news said, “Jones is a racist making black people look bad.” So I started learning about how that worked.
Glenn Beck:
Right.
Alex Jones:
So really, it was a mix of alarmist stunts, like Howard Stern, but I loved getting attention for the show. It wasn’t trying to define a specific role; it was, “I see something on the local news, or read something in the paper, see something online.” People started emailing me tips by the late ’90s, so I would just go do something. People would tell me, “Oh, they do this ritual at Bohemian Grove.” I didn’t believe it. Then I saw old magazine articles and stories about CBS reporters getting arrested trying to cover it. So I said, “Let’s do it.”
Glenn Beck:
John Ronson went with you, right?
Alex Jones:
Yes.
Glenn Beck:
I was talking to him, probably around 2004 or 2005, about a book that he had written. He said, “You know, there’s a lot of stuff I don’t agree with Alex Jones on, but I went with him. I saw it. I thought Alex was crazy, but I saw it.” He said, “I thought this was a joke, but it was real.” What did you see, and how did you get in?
Alex Jones:
Okay, it’s a 2,700-acre redwood grove in the most beautiful place in America—Sonoma County, about 15 miles west of Santa Rosa. It’s on the Russian River, and it’s a huge, uncut redwood grove, just as big as the ones you see in the national parks.
So, it’s a gorge with redwood trees, and there’s one entrance. The other exit is not really an exit, it’s a cliffside over the Russian River. They’ve got over 100 camps inside, some are big and nice depending on how elite you are. They have chalets for world leaders and royalty. The rest are basically log cabins with open bars. Really, it’s a big art thing. At the time, I was focused on the sensational stuff—the occult aspect and the ritual they do every year in mid-July. That’s what blew up with the evangelical Christians and stuff. I am a Christian, and it is definitely occultic, with vibes of that everywhere.
But really, Mark Twain founded it in the 1880s, and President Taft started going there. It became Republican establishment territory, and Skull and Bones members kind of took it over, giving it that seal—Germanic, Druidic, hyper-Masonic mystery school stuff. But it’s a thousand members and a thousand guests.
When I was there, I saw Danny Glover from a distance, Clint Eastwood. I didn’t run up to them because security was everywhere, but I snuck in during the day.
Alex Jones:
So, I snuck in during the day, avoiding the security in the woods. Back then, the security wasn’t as tight as it is now. People could get in easily, but not anymore—it’s really beefed up. The problem is, most reporters get caught because they start asking questions. They’ll walk in, get suspicious, and then ask someone, “What’s going on here?” And then security will come after them. I didn’t do that. I snuck in, kept quiet, and just tried to blend in. I brought a book with me to act like I was just hanging out, reading, and not drawing attention.
Ronson, who didn’t really believe any of this at the time, thought it was a joke. But he had an insider contact who was a member, and they snuck him in as a guest without being officially registered. So, he got in with all the right code words and such. I had signed a contract with him before we went, and later he talked about it publicly. He had said, “For liability reasons, we can’t shoot the footage. But we’ve seen you shoot some hidden footage with that little DV cam in a fanny pack.” Back then, they didn’t have small cameras like today, so it was a lot harder to pull off. I ended up climbing up onto a redwood root, shooting down at the ritual, which is why the footage is shaky and falling over a bit.
But it was still dramatic footage. So, I got in, sat at an overlook in the woods, and had security come up to me twice. First, it was sheriff’s deputies, and then later the Secret Service. Both times, they asked me who I was with, what I was doing. I had read some literature beforehand, so I said, “I’m with the Hillbillies,” which is a Texas-style camp where the Bush family goes. They bought it and said, “Oh, really? Who are you here with?” I replied, “Ron,” and they said, “Okay,” and moved on.
But after being questioned twice, I realized I couldn’t keep sitting there like that. So, as the light started to fade, I decided to move further into the camp to blend in with the crowd. It was twilight, and people started coming out of their camps, so I figured I could hide among them. As I walked, I saw Danny Glover and other big names. But as I got closer to the main area, I saw the pond and the huge owl statue. There were bats flying around, and the mood felt intense, with the music playing and all these powerful men walking down towards the ritual.
So, I positioned myself behind the crowd. I was standing on the root of a massive redwood, and from there, I started shooting the ritual. They bring out a hearse pulled by men in robes, with an effigy of a child inside. They set it down in front of the owl and perform a mock sacrifice. It’s like an amalgamation of different ancient religious rites: Druidic, Canaanite, Babylonian, and even Egyptian elements. The effigy begs for its life, and they burn it as a symbolic gesture, saying they’re casting away their cares for the year.
I started to realize that for most of the men there, it was just theater—a big, occult-themed art festival. But I could tell that for about a third of them, this was serious. I was looking around at their faces in the flickering light, and I saw men really focused, really into the ritual. Some of them were whispering to each other about how important the ritual was. It was eerie because it was clear they believed they were casting their problems away onto this effigy. They were trying to transmute their guilt, sins, or burdens onto this mock child, which they then symbolically destroyed. It was heavy stuff.
Later on, I got my hands on the Bohemian Grove “annals” from different decades. These are big books that they publish every 10 years, documenting what goes on in the Grove. I found out through those annals that the voice of the owl in the ritual was none other than Walter Cronkite. Famous actors and other figures were behind the scenes doing the voices. So, it’s a strange mixture of high art, dark ritual, and elite networking.
Glenn Beck:
You’ve described this before as a very dark, occultic ritual. Do you think the people attending know what they’re really participating in?
Alex Jones:
Honestly, I think most of them don’t know the full weight of it. For the majority, it’s just a fun, secretive, elite gathering—a kind of big party. But there’s definitely an inner circle that knows exactly what’s going on. It’s like a mystery school setup. The inner circle practices the deeper ritualistic elements, while the others are just along for the ride, enjoying the theatrics.
There’s always been this theme of recruitment in occult groups—bringing in interesting musicians, artists, politicians, and grooming them over time. They’re always scouting for new talent, new people to bring into the fold. And I’ve had experts on the occult analyze the ritual. They’ve confirmed that it’s a mishmash of various ancient practices, all wrapped up in a modern secret society.
I remember sitting in the crowd, thinking, “Okay, this is just fun for them.” But then, when the ritual really started, and I saw the expressions on the faces of some of these very powerful men, I realized they took it seriously. It wasn’t just theater for them—it was something more.
It was like being at church, but darker. Instead of casting their sins onto Christ, they were casting them onto this effigy of a child. They believed they were getting rid of their guilt for the year by symbolically burning away their sins. It was bizarre but very real to the people involved.
Glenn Beck:
So, in your mind, what’s the ultimate goal of the people who take this seriously?
Alex Jones:
Well, from what I could gather, it’s about power and control. The whole Bohemian Grove experience is about networking, influence, and maintaining the structures of power that have existed for centuries. At the same time, the deeper ritualistic elements are about something more personal—transmuting guilt, sins, and bad karma. They believe they can channel the negative energy away from themselves, essentially “cleansing” themselves for the next year.
It’s kind of like a twisted version of confession, where instead of seeking forgiveness from God, they’re casting their cares onto this effigy, which is then sacrificed. It’s a very ancient concept that goes back thousands of years. If you look at ancient civilizations, you see the same themes: child sacrifices, offerings to gods, and rituals designed to cleanse the participants of their wrongdoings.
What’s really creepy is how this ritual has been modernized for the elites of today. They’re not sacrificing real children, but the symbolism is still there. They’re using it as a way to feel like they’re cleansing themselves of the burdens that come with power and control.
And for the inner circle—the ones who truly understand the ritual—it’s about more than just power. It’s about controlling the spiritual forces that govern their world. They believe that by participating in this ritual, they’re aligning themselves with forces that will help them maintain their influence and keep the world under their control. It’s dark stuff, but it’s very real for them.
Glenn Beck:
It sounds like a strange combination of occult ritual and elite networking, where they’re trying to keep their hold on power while participating in something that has deep, ancient roots.
Alex Jones:
Exactly. That’s a perfect way to put it. It’s a mix of power politics and occult practice. The public face of Bohemian Grove is just a bunch of powerful men hanging out, drinking, and having a good time. But the inner workings—the stuff that’s hidden from view—is something much darker. It’s about power, control, and maintaining the status quo through rituals that go back to ancient times.
This whole thing opened my eyes to how these secretive elite gatherings work. And the fact that they take these rituals so seriously shows that they believe in something much deeper than just networking or politics. For some of them, it’s about aligning themselves with dark, ancient forces. And they believe that by doing this, they can maintain their control over the world.
Alex Jones:
Yeah, so after Bohemian Grove, that’s when things really started to take off for me. I mean, I was already gaining attention with the radio show and some of the other stunts, but when I exposed Bohemian Grove, it became one of those stories that people couldn’t ignore. It was like, “Whoa, this guy snuck into this secret meeting, and he’s showing us something we never thought we’d see.”
Glenn Beck:
That was huge for you, but then 9/11 happened. Would you say that’s when you really became a household name—good or bad?
Alex Jones:
Yeah, absolutely. 9/11 was the turning point. I’d been talking about the dangers of government overreach, false flag operations, and globalist agendas for years, but after 9/11, people really started paying attention. The term “truther” wasn’t even a thing back then, but I guess you could say I was one of the original truthers.
Look, I knew about Operation Northwoods, which was declassified in the early ’90s. It was a U.S. government plan to stage fake terror attacks—including hijacking planes and bombing buildings—as a pretext to invade Cuba and justify war with the Soviet Union. Kennedy shut it down, but the fact that it was even on the table opened my eyes to what was possible. I also knew about other operations like Ajax, where we overthrew Iran’s government in the ’50s, and the Gulf of Tonkin incident, which got us into the Vietnam War under false pretenses. So, when 9/11 happened, I immediately started questioning the official narrative.
Glenn Beck:
Did you think it was an inside job from the start?
Alex Jones:
Well, I didn’t jump to conclusions, but I definitely thought something was off. That morning, I was at home, and I heard the first reports of a plane hitting the World Trade Center. I rushed to my home studio, turned on the TV, and started covering it live. By the time the towers collapsed, I was already thinking, “This doesn’t look right.” The way the buildings fell looked like controlled demolitions to me.
I’m not saying there weren’t radical Islamic terrorists involved. I’m not saying the threat of terrorism isn’t real. But the way the buildings came down and the reports that were coming in just didn’t add up. Then, later that day, I heard a CBS Radio report while I was driving to get some pizza. They said that Building 7—the Salomon Brothers building—was going to be brought down in a controlled demolition. I’m sitting there thinking, “Wait, they’re going to bring down a building on purpose during a terror attack?” I rushed back to my studio, went live, and said, “They’re saying they’re going to blow up Building 7.”
Glenn Beck:
And Building 7 is key to your skepticism, right?
Alex Jones:
Exactly. Building 7 is the smoking gun for me. No steel-framed building had ever collapsed from fire alone before that day. And yet, Building 7 collapsed in free fall, in its own footprint, just like a controlled demolition. There were eyewitnesses, like Barry Jennings, who was inside Building 7 that morning. He later said he heard explosions before the building came down. I interviewed him, and two weeks later, he died under suspicious circumstances. Then you have footage of news anchors—like the BBC and CNN—reporting that Building 7 had collapsed when it was still standing in the background.
Glenn Beck:
Right, there’s that infamous BBC clip where the reporter is talking about Building 7 collapsing, but you can still see it standing behind her.
Alex Jones:
Exactly! They jumped the gun on the script. That’s what it looks like to me. They had been told the building was going to come down, and they accidentally reported it before it actually happened. That kind of thing just doesn’t happen by coincidence.
And there were so many other red flags that day. You had reports of people being warned not to go into the towers that morning. Mayor Willie Brown of San Francisco said he was told not to fly that day. The Joint Chiefs canceled a meeting they were supposed to have in New York. There was just too much going on behind the scenes for it to all be a coincidence.
Glenn Beck:
So, your coverage of 9/11 really catapulted you into the spotlight, but it also made you a target, right?
Alex Jones:
Yeah, that’s when the attacks really started. Before 9/11, I was just this loudmouth guy exposing stuff like Bohemian Grove, talking about government conspiracies, and maybe upsetting a few people. But after 9/11, I was labeled a threat. The media painted me as this crazy conspiracy theorist, someone who was dangerous because I was questioning the official story.
I never said there weren’t terrorists involved. I never said 9/11 was 100% an inside job. What I did say was that there were elements within our own government who knew more than they were letting on, and that they might have allowed it to happen—or even helped orchestrate it—to justify the wars that followed. And look what happened: we went into Afghanistan, Iraq, and started this whole endless war on terror, which was exactly what some of these globalist factions wanted.
Glenn Beck:
You’ve been consistent about questioning the official story of 9/11, but things took a darker turn for you with the Sandy Hook tragedy. That’s when the legal troubles really started, right?
Alex Jones:
Yeah, that’s when it got really bad. I covered the Sandy Hook shooting like I did with any other big story at the time—by analyzing the facts, raising questions, and letting my audience decide. But I made some mistakes. I’ll admit that. There were anomalies in the reporting of Sandy Hook that made a lot of people suspicious, and I gave airtime to those suspicions.
Glenn Beck:
Did you ever think it wasn’t real?
Alex Jones:
At one point, yeah, I questioned it. There were things about the shooting that didn’t add up, and some of my guests raised legitimate questions. I let them speak on my show, and I didn’t do a good enough job fact-checking or pushing back. But here’s the thing—before the lawsuits even started, I had already come out and said, “Look, I was wrong. The shooting happened. These were real kids, real families.” I apologized repeatedly.
But that wasn’t enough for them. They didn’t just want an apology; they wanted to destroy me. The lawsuits started, and they used Sandy Hook as a weapon to de-platform me and shut me down. They accused me of sending people after the families, of harassing them. That’s not true. I never sent anyone to their homes. I never told anyone to harass them. But they used the media to paint me as a monster, and it stuck.
Glenn Beck:
And then the court cases came. What was that experience like?
Alex Jones:
It was a total sham. In Texas and Connecticut, I was found guilty by default because they said I didn’t comply with discovery, which is just not true. We turned over everything they asked for. But because they couldn’t find anything to prove their case, they just said, “Well, he’s guilty.” Then, it became all about determining how guilty I was and how much they could punish me.
In the Connecticut trial, they asked for $2.67 trillion. That’s the GDP of India! How in the world do they expect me to pay that? I’ve never had that kind of money. At one point, I had about $10 million, but I’m not some billionaire media mogul like they tried to make me out to be. They just wanted to bankrupt me, to send a message to anyone who questions the official narrative: “This is what happens if you speak out.”
They even tried to say that I was making money off the Sandy Hook tragedy, which is ridiculous. I wasn’t profiting from that at all. They took totally unrelated days of high sales from my store—when we were selling supplements or water filters—and claimed I made millions from Sandy Hook coverage. It was all a lie, but I wasn’t allowed to defend myself properly in court. The judge shut me down every time I tried to explain.
Glenn Beck:
It sounds like a nightmare. Do you regret any of it?
Alex Jones:
I regret not being more careful with how I handled it. I regret not doing a better job vetting the guests I had on my show and the claims that were being made. I was wrong about Sandy Hook, and I’ve said that many times. But the punishment they’ve laid on me is beyond anything I could have imagined. They’re not just trying to punish me—they’re trying to destroy me and set an example for anyone else who dares to question the official story on anything.
But I’ve learned from this. I’ve become more careful, more measured in what I say and how I say it. I don’t want to give them any more ammo to use against me. But I’m still going to speak the truth as I see it, and I’m not going to back down from exposing corruption and lies, no matter how hard they try to silence me.
Glenn Beck:
It’s clear that this whole experience has been a learning process for you. Where do you go from here? What’s next for Alex Jones?
Alex Jones:
Well, they’ve tried to de-platform me, bankrupt me, and destroy my reputation, but I’m still here. I’m still doing my show, still fighting. And I’m going to keep fighting for free speech, for the right to question authority, and for the truth, no matter how inconvenient it is.
The way I see it, we’re at a critical juncture in history. If we don’t stand up now and defend free speech, defend the Constitution, and push back against this authoritarian takeover, we’re going to lose everything. So, I’m not giving up. I’m going to keep doing what I do—informing people, waking people up, and standing up for what’s right.
I just hope that people see what’s happening and realize that this isn’t just about Alex Jones. This is about all of us. If they can silence me, they can silence anyone. And if we don’t fight back, we’re all going to be in a lot of trouble.
Alex Jones:
So yeah, the future for me is about continuing the fight. They want to silence me because they see me as a threat to their control, but I’m not going anywhere. I’m going to keep doing what I do, because if we stop questioning, if we stop standing up, then we lose everything that makes us free. And this isn’t just about me; it’s about all of us who value free speech and the right to question authority.
Look, I’ve made mistakes. I’ve learned from them. I’ve become more cautious, more careful, but I’m still the same person who believes in the truth and in holding power to account. If they can do what they’ve done to me—sue me, de-platform me, try to ruin me financially—then it’s a warning to everyone else. They want to set a precedent that says, “If you don’t toe the line, if you question too much, this is what will happen to you.”
Glenn Beck:
So, in your view, this is about much more than just your case. It’s about setting an example for others.
Alex Jones:
Exactly. They want to make me the poster boy for what happens when you speak out. But the thing is, I’m not the only one. They’ve gone after Trump, they’ve gone after Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck, Joe Rogan, RFK Jr., and so many others. This isn’t just about Alex Jones. It’s about a system that’s being put in place to silence dissent, to control the narrative, and to make sure that anyone who dares question the official story is destroyed.
They want to control everything. It’s not just the media, it’s the whole system—the government, the corporations, the financial system, and even the way we communicate. That’s why they’re so obsessed with controlling the internet and social media platforms. They know that if people can communicate freely, if they can organize and share information, then they lose control. And they can’t afford to lose control because they’re trying to push through their globalist agenda.
Glenn Beck:
You’ve spoken a lot about the globalist agenda. Do you think we’re at a critical point in that battle?
Alex Jones:
Absolutely. We’re at the tipping point. The globalists are making their big move. They’re pushing hard because they know their time is running out. They’ve got this whole system set up—whether it’s through organizations like the World Economic Forum or their various think tanks—and they’ve been laying the groundwork for years. They want to centralize control, take away national sovereignty, and create a one-world government, and they’re using every tool at their disposal to make that happen.
COVID was a huge part of it—the lockdowns, the vaccine mandates, the push for digital IDs and vaccine passports. That was their test run to see how far they could go in controlling people. And now, with the looming financial collapse, they’re setting the stage for more centralization of power—whether it’s through digital currencies or tighter control of the economy. They’re using crisis after crisis to implement their agenda.
But people are waking up. More and more people are seeing what’s going on, and that’s why they’re getting desperate. They’re trying to clamp down harder because they know they’re losing control. And that’s where the fight is right now—can we wake enough people up before it’s too late?
Glenn Beck:
What do you think the next big move is for them? What should people be watching for?
Alex Jones:
Well, I think the next big push is going to be around the global financial system. We’re already seeing cracks in the system with inflation, the potential collapse of the dollar, and the push for central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). They want to get rid of cash, track everything we do, and control how we spend our money. That’s one of the final pieces they need to put in place to fully control the global population.
And then, of course, we’ve got the upcoming elections. They’re going to do everything they can to stop Trump from running again. Whether that’s through legal means, through some kind of crisis, or even by trying to remove him from the equation entirely, they’re going to pull out all the stops. Because if Trump gets back in, their whole plan gets derailed. He’s a wildcard, and they know they can’t control him.
At the same time, they’re pushing the climate change agenda hard. It’s not about saving the planet—it’s about controlling resources, controlling energy, and using that as another excuse to limit people’s freedoms. They’ll start rationing energy, telling people what they can and can’t do in the name of “saving the planet,” but it’s really just about taking more control.
Glenn Beck:
Do you think there’s any way to stop them?
Alex Jones:
I think the only way to stop them is through mass awakening. People need to realize what’s going on and stand up against it. We need more people speaking out, more people pushing back, more people refusing to comply with these authoritarian measures. Whether it’s through peaceful protests, organizing online, or just refusing to participate in their system, we need to resist.
I’m not saying it’s going to be easy. They’ve got a lot of power, a lot of resources, and they’ve been planning this for a long time. But they’re not invincible. The one thing they fear more than anything is people waking up and seeing the truth. That’s why they’re so desperate to control the narrative, to silence dissent, and to shut down free speech. Because they know that if enough people wake up, their whole house of cards comes crashing down.
Glenn Beck:
So, the fight continues?
Alex Jones:
Oh, absolutely. The fight never stops. This is about more than just me or any one person. This is about the future of freedom. It’s about whether we’re going to live in a world where people are free to speak their minds, question authority, and live their lives without constant government surveillance and control. Or if we’re going to live in a dystopian nightmare where everything is controlled by a handful of elites who think they know what’s best for the rest of us.
So yeah, I’m going to keep fighting. I’m going to keep speaking the truth, no matter how much they try to silence me. And I hope other people will do the same. Because if we don’t fight back now, we may not get another chance.
