Episode 425: April 23-24, 2020
Dan and Jordan discuss the episode of the Alex Jones Show where Alex discusses his plan to record his final episode in the next week, to be released in the event of his death, or possibly to be released immediately. He’s unclear on the specifics, and he doesn’t follow through anyway.
Topics covered include:
Alex lies about an article in the New York Times that he definitely didn’t read. It is about allegations that Chinese agents pushed misinformation, which Alex is pretending is about the entire coronavirus fear being the result of Chinese misinformation. This is a complete misrepresentation of the actual article.
Alex claims that Covid-19 related deaths are being massively exaggerated, when all credible sources are suggesting the numbers are likely lower than the reality.
Alex doesn’t understand that the Civil War happened before we understood how infectious diseases work, and that there were a bunch of outbreaks during that war that actually prolonged the conflict quite a bit. Also, Alex says that the Civil War was fought “to give black people rights,” which is a direct contradiction of everything else he’s ever said about the Civil War.
Alex claims that there were Covid cases in the US in November 2019, when he’s really just misrepresenting the words of Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Alex thinks that Ian Fleming wrote Moonraker to expose the Globalists’ plans to hide out from a chemical weapon release on a space base. Alex doesn’t realize that space was only a part of the movie version of Moonraker, which Fleming didn’t write. The book version is very different, and Alex has no idea what he’s talking about.
Alex’s first guest, Shiva Ayydurai, hates Alex’s second guest, Rashid Buttar. Because Alex won’t cancel Buttar, Ayydurai storms off the show, and Alex ends up canceling the interview with Buttar for no reason. It is a real mess.
In an attempt to point out how few shark-related deaths there are each year, Alex chooses a random number, and accidentally severely embellishes the problem. He claims there’s 30 a year, when in reality, the average is 4.
Alex has decided to champion world hunger because it’s convenient for him to now, though he hasn’t cared much about the issue in the past. He also doesn’t seem to realize that his hero Trump has been making budget cuts to programs that feed starving people in the US, so you can imagine how little Trump cares about hungry people abroad. Alex also doesn’t wrestle with the fact that the people he’s demonized his entire career, the UN, includes people on the forefront of working to solve this problem for as many people as they can. Alex is the villain in his own story.
Alex lies about Lady Gaga having to sleep with a personal assistant because she’s afraid of demons.
Alex’s story about ancient people being tricked by people who know about eclipses has a deep tradition in 1800’s English literature meant to reinforce white supremacy over the foolish “savages.”
Alex lies about a story about coronavirus tests being tainted. There were some contaminated tests, but they weren’t sent to us by China, as Alex asserts. Further, there’s no evidence that these tests ended up infecting anyone.
