Alex Jones: Texas Church Massacre Was Staged

Alex Jones, the tinfoil-hat creator of the conspiracy outlet Infowars, claimed there was “no doubt” that the mass shooting at a Texas church that killed 26 people last weekend was “staged.”

Jones was joined by Shepard Ambellas, editor-in-chief of the conspiracy theory site Intellihub, on air today to further Infowars’ dissection of the Texas church shooting, which has so far included theories that news media gave the shooter “permission” to kill, that the far-left group Antifa was responsible, and that the shooter was under “mind control” from the “deep state.” Jones expanded on his prior theories to claim that the shooting was staged by forces who want to embarrass the president.

“There’s a civil war going on the embarrass Trump. I mean, no doubt this is staged,” Jones said. “And the media is going to spin it and say I said it didn’t happen. That’s not what I said. They let him out of that mental institution when he was planning to kill his command chain. They let him go. They knew.”

Ambellas agreed and told Jones, “They let it all fall through the cracks and then they use it to their advantages.”

And the Sandy Hooking of this tragedy has begun, although they are much faster than normal. Fuck Infowars. Seriously.

Read his exact words. He's not claiming that the massacre didn't occur. He's saying that "we" caused it to happen.

Very insidious.

There is a special place for those who cause enormous pain to people who have suffered unimaginable loss for the sake of "entertainment" and "greed". There is a special place for those who eagerly listen to this shit. I hope he ends up choking on his words and ill-gained money. It would be a fitting end for this human filth.

... would that lying fucking coward ever have a face to face debate with ANY survivor of a shooting massacre, particularly one which would break this slimy little asshole over their knee in response?

Seriously, a fucking maggot has more decency and earns more respect than this fucking shitstain who runs around screeching every mass shooting is either staged to take away or guns (Democratic President) or staged to embarrass a fellow shitstain (Republican President).

I hope this motherfucker dies screaming in a house fire. Literally. Seriously.

Have you seen his diet? He literally eats all meat, no vegetable or fruit diet with his shirt off like he's an animal. Add that to the amount of products he ingests from the Infowars Store which has an ungodly amount of lead and other hazardous materials, and that is a perfect storm waiting to happen.

To think that anyone would have to stage anything to embarrass the dolt? Let alone something so horrific... Then again, there are plenty of gullible, hateful dipshits who search out and want to believe fantasies like this... Hence why hate radio & fox news are so successful . Oh well.

He's a cynical grifter. It's doubtful he believes any of this crap at all, but he knows it will stir up the rubes and get them to his web site so he can sell more of his "health supplement" products.

He says it like an hour after they happen too - no evidence or anything. I could see enjoying his garbage ironically, but anybody who believes this crap should be examined by a psychiatrist.

Alex Jones doesn't even believe what he says. He's an admitted "entertainer" who laughs all of the way to the bank.

So what does it mean when the person you are listening to is staged and he claims something else is staged? There is no such thing as objective reality with these people. It's all shades of conspiracy.
