Alex Jones shares some interesting thoughts on Donald Trump, aliens, and Satan
If you are not familiar with Alex Jones, he is a radio host and conspiracy website magnate probably most famous for accusing the federal government of "false flag" attacks and accusing President Obama of murdering Justice Antonin Scalia. He has a pretty substantial following. You can get a sense of his pet topics in this clip from Wednesday's Alex Jones Show — he's against vaccines, fluorinating drinking water, and a globalist takeover. But he also makes an impassioned plea for humans to wake up about their alien overlords.
Americans are being manipulated through "a metric, scientific, mathematical algorithm of tyranny that is extremely sophisticated, that can even predict the future," Jones said, noting he has been warning about this for 18 years. "It is a very small group — a few thousand people are in on the whole deal, okay?" What whole deal? Jones explains:
Jones has been pretty supportive of Donald Trump, but "the elite hate Trump — let me tell you, if he is a psy op, he's the most sophisticated one I ever saw," Jones said. "And even if he is, he's a revelation of the awakening." Humanity has to get off-world, he adds. "We need access to life-extension technologies — talk about discrimination, forget skin color: I want the advanced life extension! I want to go to space! I want to see inter-dimensional travel! I want what God promised us! And I won't sit here and let Satan steal it!"

The key to stopping all this is education, Jones said: "If you come over all creepy, you come over all angry, you come over all weird, they're not going to listen. But if you come over with light in your eyes, you say, 'Listen, there's a globalist takeover — here's the plan,' people listen. They know the truth. So all I'm saying is, I'm trying to save humanity." You can judge if Jones meets his own teaching criteria in the video below. Peter Weber
