He's a very well known American right wing conspiracy theorist.
He started off in the late 90's with mostly the usual stuff (Illuminati controlling the world, 9/11 an inside job, Chemtrails and the like), but in the past few years he's swerved violently off towards the right wing christian nationalist crowd. Lots of talking about demons, devil worshipping and child sacrifice amongst 'THE ELITE' and all that, He's mostly been a bit of a meme for a while:



The problem is, hilarious as he seems to be to sane minded people, he actually has a lot of people who follow him and believe a lot of the nonsense he spouts.
In this case, he falsely claimed that the Sandy Hook massacre (a school shooting where 27 people were killed, most of them very young children) was a fake story and that no children were really killed, all acted out to justify stronger gun laws so they can "take away your guns"
Some of the parents of the murdered children were targeted by Jone's followers and accused of being crisis actors and some had to go into hiding.

This case is the parents suing him for defamation over his comments and subsequent refusal to apologise or retract his statements.

The guy is an absolute POS and I hope they take every last penny from him.

Alex Jones concedes Sandy Hook attack was '100% real'

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — For years, bombastic far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones ranted to his millions of followers that the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax, that children weren’t killed and that parents were crisis actors in an elaborate ruse to force gun control.

cheers for that, I can see now why my attention has never been drawn to such a cockwomble.

As I get older I tend to agree with the ACLU types more, which I never would have expected. We should be able to have a society where people are literally free to say whatever they wish. The problem is that, at the moment, it doesn't work. This person is a symptom of much greater social and cultural problems, and he epitomizes the degree to which communication in this country has become manipulative and dishonest for personal gain.

If this country were inhabited by actual grown-ups, this man would not have an audience and literally no one would care if he spouted these vile lies. The harm done stems from the fact that he can attract a large audience. Since we can't seem to educate a large swath of society to the point where they recognize that someone like this is a con man and dismiss him out of hand, we have to take ownership and deal with it. This is equally true of another, more famous con man.

I don't have the answer on this one, but it's a discussion we need to start having yesterday.

Sorry, it was a joke based on his thread. Most people don’t know who he is much to the chagrin of a certain poster

Not a problem, I learned something interesting. All good.

Funny thing is, my brain somehow initially interpreted it as Andrew Yang and I said, "You wot mate?"
