OK. I'll confess. I used to be a disciple of Infowars. I paid my dues. I listened every weekday evening (here in the UK). I appreciated their coverage of events, such as The Blazing Underpants Bomber, aka Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who was seen being aided onto the plane he was supposed to bring down by a government spook by Kurt Haskell, who Infowars had on several times for interview/discussion. I thought their investigations into state-sponsored terror were very useful and generally truthful.
But something happened.
I can't quite put my finger on what it was and when it occured.
But Infowars valmorphanised into something different that I do not like.
It seemed to happen around 2013 to 2015. It was a slow process over several years.
Gone are the exposes of state-sponsored terror.
Gone are the criticisms of Israel's barbarism against the Palestinians.
Gone are the warnings to not get sucked into the left-right paradigm.
Gone are the exposes of war.
In are the suck-ups to and promotions of and by Zionist media.
In is the Islamophobic fearmongering.
In is the lack of journalistic integrity and investigation.
And in, and perhaps this is the cause, is a producer who retweets infanticidal Benjamin Netanyahu.
I'll give a few examples of what causes concern to me.
Example 1 - Saudi Arabia
Watson has named Saudi Arabia a "cancer on the world". Infowars have accused the Saudis and Israel of doing 9/11. Here is Watson talking to Wayne Madsen about this unholy alliance:
Israel, Saudi Arabia and 9/11
Infowars are fully aware of the plan for war and regime change in seven countries in five years which was revealed to General Wesley Clark shortly after 9/11 (a plan that Elliot Higgins is also fully aware of but refuses to cover for fear of losing his NATO/Atlantic Council funding). That plan does not call for regime change in Saudi Arabia or Israel, but in the enemies of those two nations locked in an unholy alliance with the USA and other nations such as the UK.
Many reports by think tanks and governments finger Saudi Arabia as the prime financier of Islamic terrorism.
Infowars said that it was all going to be different under Trump.
But what was one of the first things that Trump did? He flew to Riyadh, agreed a $350 billion weapons and defence deal with the Saudis, and forged an anti-Iran alliance with the Saudis to crush Iran. A quick reminder: it was the Saudis who did 9/11 and unleashed the Jihadis, while Iran did not do 9/11 and is fighting the Jihadis. Yet Trump sides with the Saudis! At the same time, Trump, who Infowars recently named "The Peace President", is bombing and/or droning Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan and Somalia, killing thousands of civilians in the process.
In other words, far from it being different under Trump, Trump is continuing the US interference in the Middle East and beyond. Iraq, Syria and Somalia were three of the nations named to Wesley Clark.
I don't understand why Trump is doing this, considering that Alex Jones allegedly has Trump's ear. Surely Jones would have exposed the plan to Trump and Trump would have acted accordingly.
But apparently not.
Trump tweeted dozens of times warning Obama to stay out of Syria. But just a few months into his presidency he fired 59 Tomahawk missiles at a Syrian Air Force air base, killing Syrian military personnel and civilians in nearby villages. And he is now building secret bases in Syria, and shooting down Syrian Air Force fighters/bombers and drones.
And in Yemen, through his support for the Saudis, Trump has contributed to a sickening humanitarian crisis in which nearly 20 million men, women and children are homeless, without food or water, and they are now also suffering an outbreak of cholera.
But do we hear any criticism from Infowars?
No. We don't.
But if this was Obama...or Sanders...or Clinton...
Watson said he was off the Trump Train, but quickly jumped back on board once his follow count decreased significantly.
Example 2 - The Swamp and other Trump U-turns
Trump said that he was going to drain the swamp.
He also said that he was going to lock Hillary Clinton up. But what has happened since his election victory? At his inauguration dinner he toasted the Clintons, who were there at the dinner...AT HIS INVITATION!! "To the Clintons!" Chink. And down the hatch went the finest wines available to humanity! And since then he has expressed his desire that the Clintons be left alone "to heal".
He also said that NATO was obsolete and he was going to pull the USA out of NATO. But he has agreed to the accession of Montenegro to NATO and persuaded NATO members to pay more into the NATO coffers thus making NATO more powerful.
But it's the swamp that is the clue.
Trump has "tremendous respect" for Henry Kissinger. If one person is the swamp it is Kissinger. Kissinger asked his fellow globalists to give Trump a chance because Kissinger thinks that Trump can do "great things". I wonder what "great things" Kissinger is thinking about: Iran? Israel?
Trump thinks that just sitting next to Kissinger is "an honour".
Alex Jones was/is famous for shouting his mouth off at Bilderberg meetings. He was curiously absent this year. Was it because four, repeat four, of Trump's administration were attending and Jones could not explain why? Anyway, despite a source of Infowars allegedly telling them that Bilderberg were meeting to plot Trump's downfall, it was reported by Charlie Skelton that Bilderberg actually gave Trump the thumbs up! Not an A+, but perhaps a C+ with work to do. So was it Kissinger who persuaded Bilderberg to grade Trump so?
Oh, and Trump's Bilderberg Four are still in their jobs.
Trump has also picked many swamp-dwellers: CFR, Bilderberg, Trilateral Commission, Skull and Bones, Goldman Sachs.
The most embarrassing of these to Alex Jones is Rick Perry. In 2007 Jones very, very loudly accused Perry of being a Bilderberg traitor. But where is Perry now? He is Trump's Energy Secretary!
Trump's latest pick to police Wall Street and gut Dodd-Frank, Quarles, helped to unleash Wall Street for both Bushes: President George HW Bush in the early 1990s, and President George W Bush in the early 2000s. Plus he was also at the IMF and Carlyle Group. So yet another swamp-dweller...and he gets a powerful job to unleash Wall Street for yet another global financial crisis.
And the only mainstream media to support Trump was Bilderberg Zionist Rupert Murdoch's Fox News. If 'the deep state' really wanted to stop Trump then Fox would have attacked Trump and promoted Clinton. But they didn't.
But do we hear any criticism from Infowars?
No. We don't.
But if this was Obama...or Sanders...or Clinton...
Example 3 - Journalistic Integrity and Double Standards
Roy Cohn was given a job at the New York law firm Saxe, Bacon and Bolan to become the de facto liaison between the CIA and the mob, which he became. Cohn also procured children for the CIA to abuse: to collect blackmail material; and for the 'parties' of CIA-sponsored satanists.
And Cohn was also the "greatest friend" of one Donald J Trump.
Trump bought the renowned CIA/mob money laundering front Resorts International in 1987, and over the next three decades was fined twice for money-laundering...yet he was not investigated by the FBI. RI was financing clandestine anti-Castro, anti-Cuba operations.
While establishing himself in the casino business, Trump also hung out with what have been called "the bloodiest crime family in the history of the United States", the Scarfos.
All of this suggests a strong CIA/FBI/mob link to Trump.
Infowars have not exposed any of this.
They are apparently not interested in who Trump was laundering money for, or if he knew about Cohn's paedophile activities.
But if this was Obama...or Sanders...or Clinton...
And then there's this geezer, Roger Stone.
Stone helped to buy the 1980 election for Reagan by delivering a $125k bung from Roy Cohn.
Stone helped to get W into the White House by organising a riot in Florida to stop a recount.
Stone enabled the financial crisis of 2007/8 by knobbling Eliot Spitzer.
And Stone is also accused by veteran NYPD investigator Jim Rothstein of assisting Roy Cohn with his CIA-paedophile networks.
Stone seems to get things done for the rightist globalists.
But Infowars have him on and carry on as if Stone is just a regular guy.
Perhaps it is because half of Alex Jones's family is CIA, and that his late uncle Biff was some kind of liaison between the CIA and Latin American death squads, but Alex Jones seems to have been normalised to the CIA. Even his father did some work for the CIA regarding implants. It's like it's just normal to be so close, so involved with the CIA. I don't know about you but all this strong and repulsive stench of CIA makes people like me very, very suspicious.
And then there's the Islamophobia.
Infowars used to regularly expose state-sponsored terrorism, particularly if it was apparently perpetrated by Muslims.
Not any more.
Now it's simply, "S'just Islam, innit".
Remember just before Christmas 2015? There were terrible floods in Cumbria. What did the good Christian Watson do? He didn't help out. He got pissed and put on a coloured wig and danced like Mick Jagger. Meanwhile, dozens of Muslims travelled at their own expense to Cumbria to help the victims of the flooding.
Which brings me to the producer of Infowars, Rob Jacobson.
WHO IS HE?
Why does he retweet Netanyahu?
And when, how and why did he get the job of producing "the frontline of truth journalism" when he retweets Netanyahu?
Was it when Infowars dropped exposing state-sponsored terror and instead went like, "S'just Islam, innit"?
Or was that due to the appearance of Roger Stone?
Conclusion
An ugly valmorification has occured at Infowars over the last few years. I think we can see this in Alex losing sole custody of his children. Alex developed this wild controversial on-screen personality in order to flog more stuff to make him and his family rich, while losing that cutting edge and willingly drifting into the rightist side of the left-right paradigm he warned us against. But it has cost him his children. They (Infowars and the family) have been seduced by riches and now promote rightism and attack anybody to the left of them as reincarnations of Mao, Stalin and Castro. Everything left is bad. Everything right is good. Hence Corbyn is bad, but Trump is good. But while Infowars criticise anti-Trumpers for rioting and death threats, their guy, Bomber Trump, is actually bombing and/or droning thousands of civilians and "beautiful babies" to death in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan and Somalia!!
But if the bombing and droning was done by Obama...or Sanders...or Clinton...
