When Did Alex Jones Go Mainstream?

[jakeXT]

7. I think he was more a local personality.

I think he started with public access TV and radio.
Basic themes were militarization of police, Martial Law etc

1998 America: Destroyed by Design
1999 Police State 2000

If you you want a feel of the early Jones you can watch a documentary by British journalist
Jon Ronson about Alex Jones infiltrating Bohemian Grove from 2001.
There you can see his wife and home where he broadcasted from.

Remember that before 2005 there was no youtube and google video. So there was no way to distribute multimedia content to a lot of people at low costs.
I think that changed in 05 and made 911 truth movies and research popular.

In 2006 Charlie Sheen went public with his views on 911 and Alex came on cnn

After that they got on C-Span with a panel.

From then on he improved his web presence and built a new studio and hired more people, I guess.

He claims that Glenn Beck has copied his style, maybe the "mainstream" is adapting to him.

Glenn Beck's Shtick? Alex Jones Got There First
Long before he inadvertently brought an end to a popular sitcom by hosting last week’s mega-viral interview with Charlie Sheen, talk-radio host Alex Jones established himself as a giant in America’s conspiracy subculture.

His website is now ranked 314 in the US behind Chicago Tribune ( There is a spike in the last days, because one of his reporters asked about false flags during the Boston press conference)
