Not a conspiracy theorist but a scam artist.
Pretty sure he doesn't believe those lies, he's just scamming the poor bastards that do.
That's what he said, under oath, during his divorce.
I listen to Knowledge Fight and they find him in his lies regarding his beliefs all the time. It's an act.
Well this is an unexpected turn to climate change denial.
I guess the “it’s real but it’s too late” is not as useful as “it’s real and ifs caused by [inset scapegoat]”
Really didn’t see this coming, which shows how satire can’t hold a candle to the stupidity of reality.
That any double digit percent is falling for this bullshit is a sad commentary of the state of the world today. And I'm not singling Americans out because there are plenty of idiots on the other side of the ocean as well.
can confirm (source: am on the other side of the ocean and certified idiot). But this is beyond even my level of idiocy. The part on 9/11 is really the icing on this shit cake: he manages to pit two conspiracies against each other:
- hey man, what are you doing with that hurricane? Today we are doing the "flying airplanes into towers" one, remember?
- oh shit sorry, totally forgot that one! No worries, I'm just turning this thing off before it hits the coast
Jeez, this guy is like Rush Limbaugh on meth.
For those who don't know, completely unfiltered Alex Jones fits almost seamlessly into the 40k universe and that's bonkers.

That was- I cannot convey just how insane that was using spoken language. I think I'd need to smash a watermelon, aim a sandblaster filled with crushed seashells and desiccated termites at it, start blasting and let my intuition do its thing until something resembling art was produced. Possibly while doing interpretive dance and making primal guttural grunting noises. That would get me pretty darn close to properly communicate my thoughts on what I saw. Thank you.
This might be a good representation of what you're feeling
GOP Talking Head: The Democrats are pushing the point that we are allowing climate change to make storms worse and a large part of our base are getting affected by the storms. What do we do?
AJ: We blame them for the storms.
GTH: Nobody's going to believe that!
AJ: Have you met your base?
Please. Let's not post conspiracy theories in the news channel.
Wasn't this motherfuckers show broken up and to be sold to pay the billions he owes? How is this asshole still allowed to go on the air and spew this bullshit?
Unfortunately, what he says is influential because idiots, and it affects the rest of the world because US elections.
well, but it is news that Alex Jones is at it again.
Big question: So when they're in control of the weather, why not send hurricanes to Ukraine/Russia instead. Or China? Or Iran? Or Irak? Or Gaza? Or ...
Cause the machine sits in Guantanamo Bay due to a deal Biden made with Fidel Castro's ghost.
Why not lock down the midwestern vote by ensuring perfect weather for all the farmers?
Didnt this guy just get bankrupted?
If Trump can be convicted for his actions and still get more money and still run for president, Alex Jones can lose lawsuit after lawsuit from being a total fucking moron and still be a total fucking moron.
Yep, fuck you Jones and hope you make a lot of money's for the sandy hook parents
See legal eagle on YouTube for more info
Here’s the thing… If we can control the weather so easily, why can’t the Republicans? Have they not figured it out yet? I don’t want to vote for someone who can’t even destroy Florida on a whim with a few clouds.

Isn't he supposed to be liquidating his equipment and not using it to get into more trouble. 🤔
They create an enemy other that must be incredibly powerful but also pitifully weak. Wildly intelligent yet also fundamentally stupid.

Why is this even in the news? This is the same kind of dumb shit that would get talked about on AM radio stations and other conspiracy theory circles that nobody paid any attention to because of how completely stupid it sounded to a rational person. Can we stop giving these people any attention?

If dems could control weather why wouldn’t they use it for the benefit of States they favored, like maybe ending the drought in California or putting out the wildfires there or in the PNW?
Yeah yeah go cry some more big stupid crocodile tears about it, ya whiny bitch.
Weather devastated a place they don't like : god is punishing sinners
Weather hits their dirty little chode-land: THE DEMZ CONTROL THE WEATHER!
K, got it...
Fascism 101: my enemies are strong and simultaneously incompetent.
Where are these assholes getting all these ideas about "weather weapons?" Oh, wait...
Trump Kept Asking if China Was Shooting Us With a ‘Hurricane Gun’
Near the beginning of Donald Trump’s time in office, the then-president had a pressing question for his national-security aides and administration officials: Does China have the secret technology — a weapon, even — to create large, man-made hurricanes and then launch them at the United States? And if so, would this constitute an act of war by a foreign power, and could the U.S. retaliate militarily? Then-President Trump repeatedly asked about this, according to two former senior administration officials and a third person briefed on the matter.
“It was almost too stupid for words,” said a former Trump official intimately familiar with the then-sitting president’s inquiry. “I did not get the sense he was joking at all.”
Hypothetically, if China did have a hurricane gun, what benefit does it give them to constantly shoot it at the US? America is one of China's biggest trade partners. It is highly counterproductive for them to do it.
I'm sorry, but this is a logic-free zone.
Boy this dude’s gonna be pissed when all his livestream equipment gets auctioned off in that firesale to pay his legal expenses.
Most likely his dad will buy it.
His dad’s a billionaire? I did not know that!
For anyone confused where these ideas originated from, I found out some articles from NOAA stuff like these:
Can human intervention diminish the force of a hurricane? From the mid-1960s through the early 1980s NOAA actively pursued Project STORMFURY, a program of experimental hurricane modification
https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hrd_sub/modification.html
And I think in Wikipedia there were statement about using laser to warm the water a few degrees to pervent storms from forming..
Thank you. This is the stuff we should all one made aware of. Some of the craziest conspiracies are founded in some truth. This is why I find it so concerning. It doesn't take much effort for some people to become believers in the theory that "climate change" is a hoax.
Because information travels at the speed of light and crazy headlines like this are attention grabbers, millions more people are exposed to mistruths. This is why we are where we are today. Misleading headlines. Social media. Engagement algorithms. It doesn't matter how smart you are or what your politics are. I see misleading headlines and stories written all day every day. Then people just go to the comment section to "inform" themselves without reading the article or the source material or the entire context of a video clip, etc.
I thought one of the main drivers of these storms WAS warm water? How would adding more energy into the system lessen the storm?
They let the VP control the weather? I missed that part on the AP Government exam.
I've heard this before but if Harris and the Dems are literally controlling the weather, why wouldn't you vote for them?!
If "the libs" controlled the weather, Jones would be getting zapped by lightning every time he opened his stupid mouth.

You need the energy equivalent of thousands of nuclear weapons to fuel even a mild hurricane. It would be pretty notable.

But if you ask him about climate change, humans don't have the ability to change weather appreciable.
No recognition of how stupid he sounds.
