INSIGHT

  • Alex Jones abandoned his long-standing anti-federal-power stance to support DHS and ICE when it aligned with his racial and political goals.
  • That shift reveals his core priority: defending a white-nationalist vision rather than consistent opposition to state power.
ADVICE

Pause Before Accepting Rapid Claims

  • Treat instantaneous outrage and quick narratives skeptically, especially when media figures pivot before facts emerge.
  • Demand multiple angles and pause before accepting claims that justify violence or absolve agents without evidence.
