Alex Jones urges fans to kill protesters 'in a defensive way'

https://deadstate.org/alex-jones-urges-fans-to-kill-protesters-in-a-defensive-way/



During a rant on his show last Wednesday, Alex Jones said that unrest in American cities was proof of his predictions of the “new world order” taking hold in the Unites States, and the only way for citizens to defend themselves is to “kill as many of them” as possible.

Jones says that his outlet InfoWars confirmed that “maoists” in major cities have “explosives and weapons and trucks loaded with ammonium nitrate and just chlorine gas—everything.”

“I want to avoid confrontation. I don’t need to put that on my belt that—I mean, I don’t even want to kill these globalists,” Jones said. “But if they want to kill us, the best thing to do in a defensive way is kill as many of them as quickly as possible. Again, the media will misquote that. I don’t want to offensively kill anybody. But I’m not going to take this, okay?”

“If they take down your country, if they destroy your bank account, they murder a bunch of patriot leaders, what are you going to do?” Jones continued. “Because you always talked about when the New World Order came in and when the U.N. did this​, you were going to go out and shoot folks in blue helmets. They don’t wear blue helmets. They show up in black uniforms and burn down your local courthouse and overthrow your government, run your life, and once they get control of your police, those officers are programmed robots now, they’ll follow orders to come after you.”

“If you’re running a war, you kill high-value targets, and that means the leadership of the New World Order,” he said.


I can't wait to see which DUers will tell me Alex Jones has no political agenda so this isn't domestic terrorism.

Jargon Watch: The Rising Danger of Stochastic Terrorism

Stochastic Terrorism: Triggering the shooters.

Stochastic terrorism is the use of mass communications to stir up random lone wolves to carry out violent or terrorist acts that are statistically predictable but individually unpredictable.

This is what occurs when Bin Laden releases a video that stirs random extremists halfway around the globe to commit a bombing or shooting.

This is also the term for what Beck, O'Reilly, Hannity, and others do. And this is what led directly and predictably to a number of cases of ideologically-motivated murder similar to the Tucson shootings.

absolutely anything can be considered hostile, whether it's spraying graffiti, throwing an object, pulling down a statue, whatever. And then shoot the person dead in "self defense". Then get away with murder. People have done this to take out their enemies.

"I certainly am not advocating violence and I certainly wouldn't murder anybody, heavens no, I'm just sayin', YOU have a patriotic duty to go out there and kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!! ...While I sit here in the safety of my studio. And if anyone asks, I'm playing a character."

in his custody trial — or something like that?

How can any of his "followers" take him seriously knowing he admitted under oath he's a fake?

“He’s playing a character” and is nothing like his online persona, attorney Randall Wilhite reportedly insisted in a Texas courtroom at a pre-trial hearing ahead of the right wing radio jock’s custody battle with ex-wife Kelly Jones.

His followers just tell themselves that this admission was just his way of fighting the conspiracy against him. And Jones plays along with that. Why not, he has friends in low places.

Jones’ Infowars site was a hub for anti-Clinton conspiracies during the presidential campaign and Trump publicly thanked him for his support. “You reputation is amazing,” Trump said in December 2015. “I will not let you down.”

He lost YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter, right? Is he on radio? A private website? If it's a private website, you can find the provider (ex. godaddy) and get them to shut him down. They thankfully shut down that anti-Semitic website a while back.

He's been banned from Youtube and just about every social media outlet. He pretty much operates from his own cubby hole to people who willfully listen to his shit.

It does not necessarily have to be done in the streets.

Would he support listeners coming after himself?

We sure don't want violence but your conspiracy theories are built on insane lies. So now that you advocate the murder of Americans based on your insane Nazi rhetoric we should take defensive action against you and your ilk, before you do something very, very stupid that you will surely be made to regret.


Bring it, asshole.

They're so proud of that killing and it's fueling them. The assailant appears to be about to skirt on charges. They're pumped up.

Thing is, this guy was a pro gun Libertarian. Not a Democrat, not a liberal by any means. He just wasn't ugly enough inside for them anymore, because he wasn't a racist and he wasn't a complete mindless jerk. Yet, he'd have been someone Texas Republicans wooed into their fold for his vote prior to Trump.

Now they're dog whistling to kill more like him. Think about that crazy shite for a minute.


Edit to give context:

U.S. Army sergeant who shot Austin protester Garrett Foster posted tweets about retaliating against demonstrators

Daniel Perry has come forward as the shooter of Garrett Foster, a 28-year-old armed demonstrator who was killed while protesting police brutality in Austin last Saturday.

Rather, he wants them to kill government employees.

The strange thing is, Alex Jones is so far up Trump's ass he can count the sesame seeds on the last three Big Macs Trump ate. Now he's against Trump's goon squads.
