Trump Ally Alex Jones Wonders If Carrie Fisher Was Murdered


Radio conspiracy theorist Alex Jones reacted to the death of Carrie Fisher today by wondering if the late actress was actually murdered by people trying to make money off of her recently released book.

Jones, who said that he was only speculating, compared Fisher’s passing to the death of Joan Rivers, whom Jones believes was murdered by the Obama administration for revealing that First Lady Michelle Obama “is a tranny.”

A notorious conspiracy theorist, Jones this year found an ally in Donald Trump, who thanked him for helping him get elected and appeared on his show to praise Jones’ “amazing” reputation.

Mental illness takes, on average, about 10 years off a sufferer's life. That's the bad news. The good news is that Alex Jones is probably not too long for this world.

Why bother making sense when you need to rake in while the raking' good.

He's lying and he knows it. He makes up these bizarre conspiracy theories knowing they're false because his followers eat them up as if they're candy.
Someone needs to sue him for defamation. Just put him under oath and find out if he actually believes what he's spewing. That's how we'll really know.

He knows what his particular audience want to hear on his show and he gives it to them, just like every other radio talk show host. The audience keep tuning in and the advertisers keep buying ads. That's how it works.

the campaign I had 2 friends quote him to me as a source for their "facts" I promptly showed them his lizard people are real rants, while LMAO. Every time They used him as a source after that I would reply with feigned excitement that the lizard people are at it again!!

They may still listen to him, but they don't dare use him as a source with me.

With his Bush responsible for 9/11, the Bilderbergs, Bohemian Grove and Lizard People conspiracy theories.

But he jumped the shark (like a sitcom that was on too many seasons) long ago.

Now he just seems nasty and will say anything for attention. Just wait, he'll turn on Trump too. His schtick is making up conspiracy theories about anybody in power.

I watched his youtubes etc for the entertainment value (so to speak) as I'm a sucker for people like him or4 flat earthers or any kind of weirdo CT. I used to really think nobody really believed that stuff and now not only do people really believe it, they're running the country. Crazy.

Do you suppose the REAL Alex Jones was abducted and killed and that his face was transplanted on to another person with a similar voice who wanted a radio show? I'm not saying it's true, but someone might have wanted to make money from the unsuspecting rubes really badly and this was the plan. It could happen.
