Alex Jones
Alexander "Alex " Emric (or Emerick) Jones (b. 11 February 1974) is an American libertarian radio show host and prominent conspiracy theorist, known for stating often highly unlikely conspiracy theories. When politically correct sources try to dismiss conspiracy theories in general, they may attempt guilt by association with Jones, implicitly making the straw man claim that anyone stating a conspiracy theory is similar to Jones. He has sometimes been described as a "shock jock". He has praised Martin Luther King Jr. several times and called for a racially colorblind society.

Life
Jones was previously married to a Jewish wife named Kelly Rebecca Nichols[1] and has avoided mentioning Jewish influence in his theories.
In 2015, Jones had David Duke as a guest but later removed this from his website and channel. While debating Duke, Jones admitted that his producer was Jewish.[2] The debate was saved and republished by altCensored for historical preservation.[3]
Jones has often supported libertarian views, but has more recently supported less politically correct views and Donald Trump. After this, politically correct (social) mass media started censoring him, claiming disinformation, with such censorship not occurring when he previously was stating unlikely conspiracy theories but was more politically correct.
Another criticism of politically correct (social) media is that many leftists with far worse contents are not being banned, such as antifa pages openly supporting violence.[4]
In August 2022, Jones was ordered to pay $45.2m in punitive damages, in addition to $4.1m in compensatory damages the plaintiffs awarded a day earlier. After falsely claiming that the 2012 school shooting in Sandy Hook was a hoax.[5]
In December 2023, Elon Musk reinstated Jones' X (Twitter) account ("permanently suspended" in autumn 2018) with over 2.2 million followers (as of April 2024).
Family
Alex Jones' first wife was named Kelly Rebecca Nichols. Jones had three children with Nichols, who is Jewish. Nichols' father was a United States government diplomat named Edmund Low Nichols and mother Sandra Kay Heiligman. Her father Edmund was fired from his job following a conviction for financial fraud.[6][7][8]
