Episode notes
Origins Of Jones's Conspiracy Framework
- Alex Jones built his worldview from 1970s conspiracy literature like None Dare Call It a Conspiracy and those ideas shaped InfoWars' themes.
- That worldview framed global institutions as tools of a secret elite and normalized 'false flag' thinking.
Waco And Oklahoma City Shaped His Angle
- The Waco and Oklahoma City events radicalized Jones and became recurring motifs on his show.
- His fixation on government culpability helped him grow an audience and get fired from local radio.
Post‑Hoc 'Predictions' Drive Credibility
- Jones repeatedly claimed to have 'predicted' 9/11 but his pre-attack comments echoed earlier conspiracy media and others' predictions.
- His retroactive self-credit shows pattern of post-hoc framing to claim prescience.
