I used to get a laugh out of seeing Alex Jones every once in a while make a fool of himself, or get in trouble, but I would never follow him or subscribe to any of his ridiculous theories. So, I wonder what is the point in denying Sandy Hook? Is there some kind of narrative or conspiracy that makes any sense at all I'm this?
He's mentally ill. Apologists claim he's all about the money but he's been a tin foil hat salesman his whole life, he's the real deal. Is he really any different than the 50-year-old bald man who claims he is a woman? It's all about attention and affirmation.
A) Severely hinged Pro 2nd Amendment nutjobs on 4Chan spread the lie that Sandy Hook was a hoax because they argue it was done so to implement a ban on all assault rifles.
B) Alex Jones has always been about plugging conspiracy theories as it was his M.O. for driving media ad money to his InfoWars platform, and since his platform attracted many fans who follow 4Chan and are for the most part Rightwing leaning it was a marriage of ideas and agendas that became a natural fit as an InfoWars hot topic.
No, there isn't. And I know I'm a guy on the internet, but I've known the father of one of the victims since 1996, worked with him for years, went to his daughter's service. And he's one who was accused of being an actor by these clowns as well. It's one thing to believe in conspiracies where no one is hurt, but this shit is on another level. But I doubt AJ ever actually believed what he promoted. He was just serving a market of loons --ie, he did it for the money. And in typical conspiracy theorist fashion, they're now making him a part of the conspiracy, b/c he finally conceded that it was real. They first skip past the obvious reality of the event, which dwarfs anything they'll come up with later to try to undo that reality, b/c they love to believe there's something else behind it all. They try to present "evidence" for their theory -- which is nothing more than a connecting of disparate dots of info, then molding them into a narrative that they elevate to a completely unearned level, if reason and logic means anything to them. When one of those dots is dismantled or even questioned, the dismantler, the questioner, simply become part of the attempted cover-up. They rig the game, so their delusions are always preserved.
Of course you don't, but if I said I knew that same guy, and that he had told me that he participated in the hoax, you would believe me, and you'd be pointing to me as just more support for the conspiracy theory. You want to believe in it. AJ knew that.
there was lot of videos not only by him but by others that the day it happen, there were a lot of shady things going on, to the point it felt like it was staged, being real or not, now we can't even question anymore.
