Alexander Emerick "Alex" Jones is a multifaceted American personality, renowned for his work as a radio host, author, conspiracy theorist, and documentary filmmaker. His flagship program, The Alex Jones Show, is a syndicated news/talk show that broadcasts across the United States via the Genesis Communications Network and WWCR Radio shortwave, as well as online. His online presence extends to the popular websites Infowars.com and PrisonPlanet.com.
Throughout his career, Jones has been embroiled in numerous controversies, including his provocative statements on gun control in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. He has also been accused of making outlandish claims about the Oklahoma City bombing, the September 11 attacks, and the supposed fake Moon landings, which he believes were staged to conceal NASA's alleged secret technology. Jones is convinced that government and corporate entities have colluded to create a New World Order through manufactured economic crises, advanced surveillance technology, and orchestrated terror attacks that fuel public hysteria.
Jones self-identifies as a libertarian and paleoconservative. He has been dubbed "America's leading conspiracy theorist" by New York magazine, and the Southern Poverty Law Center has described him as "the most prolific conspiracy theorist in contemporary America." When asked about these labels, Jones expressed pride in being recognized as a "thought criminal" opposed to the oppressive forces of Big Brother.
