Alex Jones Says Charlottesville Looks Staged, Recalls Jews Posing As Nazis

Source: Talking Points Memo

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones said over the weekend that he believed the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia was staged, and compared it to other rallies in which he claimed to have seen Jewish people masquerading as Nazis and Ku Klux Klan members.

“I’ve been to these events, a lot of the KKK guys with their hats off look like they’re from the cast of Seinfeld,” he said Sunday, as old footage of a KKK rally rolled behind him. “Look at them, they’re just Jewish actors. Nothing against Jews in general, but the leftist Jewish want to create this clash, so they go dress up as Nazis.”

“I have footage in Austin — we’re going to find it somewhere here at the office — where it literally looks like cast of Seinfeld or like Howard Stern in a Nazi outfit. They all look like Howard Stern. They almost got like, the little curly hair down, and they’re just up there heil-ing Hitler. You can tell they are totally uncomfortable, they are totally scared, and it’s all just meant to create the clash.”

and praised him as "having a great reputation."
This was at the same time Trump was calling in for daily puff pieces with Scarborough and appearing on every Sunday show. And, not once, did a journalist challenge him on Jones and his theories.
This is the same media that felt Obama should own every word Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright said.
In light of what happened, it would be nice to know if the president stands by this rampant anti-Semitism.

Of course he'd cry his own heart attack was a false flag perpetrated by the liberal media.

and the "super supplements" he sells on his show, he MUST be the healthiest man alive. And the money he takes in for his over-priced, dubious crap goes RIGHT BACK INTO HIS SHOW. Not a penny goes into poor Alex's bank account.

Well, he's the healthiest person NEXT to Donald Trump, of course, because "The Donald " seldom sees the Doctor, but his "theory" that we have so many days to live, and when they're up, they're up......well, who could argue with that!

Ladies and gentlemen, we now have, in office, the most stupid man on the planet. The absolute WORST president there's ever been, or probably will ever BE, (but you can never count the republicans out, they always seem to find someone else while they're scraping the bottom of the barrel). Let's hear it for Commander Ass-Hat, everyone!

don't see it that way. They see him as an honest to goodness patriot and purveyor of the truth.

THAT'S HOW STUPID THESE PEOPLE ARE! They actually BUY his overpriced crap, thinking it's going to make them healthier so they'll live longer than those "Demoncrats".

Giving his minions something to hold onto, a place for safety. Yet another conspiracy theory.

They know it's not true, but they'll repeat it, like good little minions. A place to seek comfort. A place to hide.

On every thread, nonsense about it being "a false flag" and claiming it didn't happen, while at the same time also wanting to claim it did happen, but the nazi was acting in self defense.
Nonsense claiming Jason Kessler the alt right loon was secretly working for CNN, because articles from a few years ago had the name "Jason Kessler" listed as producer (It's such a rare name, you know. Especially Jason)

Lots of keyboard commando attempts at tinfoil sleuthing over there.
And to think there was a time when even RimJOb banned Alex Jones posts from his site. Of course, Jones was speaking ill of Bush at the time and saying he orchestrated 9-11. Now that he backs Trump and has the Adolph Twitler's blessing, they're fine with him.

To make matters worse, is the fact people refuse to address anti-Semitism head on and refuse to purge it from our ranks. Things are going to get much worse. An American "Night of Broken Glass" coming to a neighborhood near you, even if there are no Jews; anyone remotely tied to Jews will be punished.

Jews are getting it from the right AND the left. Violence against Jews is excused because we're all OBVIOUSLY working on behalf of Israel and deserve what we get for supporting an "occupier". And the right has always hated us because we're not Christians and have the nerve to value education which leads to success.

Tue Aug 15, 2017, 12:49 AM

There was a national invitation to white suprematists all across the country. No matter who organized it, it stands to reason that many would come who actually were die in the wool racists. They came from different states to heed the call to praise their white commandant. So.....if this was organized by Jews and some actually stood on the front lines exposing their faces, (which would be dumb), what about the rest, the deplorable angry idiot army they assembled? Why expose themselves to that? That is a risky venture.

If it was to inflame passions KNOWING violence would break out, and the righties would probably go too far, and thus get criticized, is Alex Jones admitting that its the righties that ARE always the violent ones? That they can be played that easily?

What is it Alex?

And that "cast of Seinfeld" is being outed every day on social media, and they're not just soup nazis, they're jew hating deplorables.

Is this guy acting?



Because I'd like to watch Alex Jones confront this guy and tell him he's 'just' a Jew pretending to be who he is.
