Charlie Kirk

SuperAdmin:

'''Charlie Kirk''' (born October 14, 1993) was an American conservative activist, author, and co-founder of Turning Point USA, a nonprofit organization advocating for conservative ideals on high school and college campuses. Despite his influence in the political landscape, Kirk has been involved in several controversies and conspiracy theories.

Kirk frequently promoted claims that have stirred debate and controversy. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he was a proponent of misinformation regarding the virus and the vaccines, often using his platform to downplay the severity of the pandemic and criticize public health measures.<ref>https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2021-12-29/conspiracy-theorists-played-down-covid-19-now-they-are-sick</ref> Furthermore, he has made claims regarding election integrity that are largely unsupported by evidence, amplifying baseless narratives around the 2020 Presidential Election, echoing sentiments shared by former President Donald Trump.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/05/us/politics/trump-ally-conspiracy-michigan.html</ref>

Despite his prominent role within mainstream conservatism, Kirk expressed viewpoints similar to those of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. In various media appearances, he reiterated claims associated with Jones, particularly around the topics of government deception and control schemes.<ref>https://www.thedailybeast.com/milo-yiannopoulos-and-charlie-kirk-take-page-from-alex-jones-on-info-wars</ref> Although not directly partnered with Jones, Kirk's alignment with similar conspiracy narratives links him indirectly to the broader spectrum of political commentary and conspiracy theorists.

Bill Cooper

2025-05-19T13:42:58Z

SuperAdmin:

'''Bill Cooper''' was an American conspiracy theorist and author who gained notoriety in the 1990s for his radio show "The Hour of the Time" and his book "[[Behold a Pale Horse]]". Cooper was a forerunner of [[Alex Jones]] and modern conspiracy theorists, espousing many of the same beliefs and promoting similar ideas about government cover-ups, secret societies, and hidden agendas.

One of Cooper's most disgusting claims was his denial of the [[Oklahoma City bombing]] in 1995, in which 168 people were killed. Cooper accused the US government of staging the attack as part of a larger conspiracy to further restrict Americans' freedoms. Coopers fans also claim he predicted the terror attacks on [[9/11]] and also claim that Alex stole parts of his predictions from Cooper, namely that Osama bin-Laden would be blamed for the attack.

In November 2001, Cooper was killed in a shootout with police at his home in Arizona, after he resisted arrest on charges of tax evasion and assault<ref>https://vault.fbi.gov/william-bill-milton-cooper/William%20%28Bill%29%20Milton%20Cooper%20Part%2001%20%28Final%29/at_download/file</ref>. At the end of his life, Cooper said that what Alex was doing was "fearmongering and misinformation", due to Alex's coverage of [[Y2K]].

Elon Musk

2025-05-18T20:35:14Z

SuperAdmin:

Elon Reeve Musk (born June 28, 1971) is a businessman and entrepreneur known for his role in founding and leading several high-profile technology companies, including Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and The Boring Company. Musk has often been a polarizing figure, surrounded by numerous controversies and the subject of various conspiracy theories.

=== Controversies ===
In 2018, Tesla and Musk were fined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over misleading tweets about taking Tesla private, resulting in Musk stepping down as Tesla's chairman for at least three years.

Musk's management style and workplace culture in his companies have been subjects of criticism. Reports have claimed that working conditions at Tesla's factories are harsh, with allegations of labor rights violations and a challenging work environment.

Musk's interest in artificial intelligence has led to speculative theories regarding his potential control or influence over a future dominated by AI technologies. His ventures into neural technologies with Neuralink have further fueled this narrative.

Musk was a 2008 World Economic Forum Young Global Leader<ref>https://archive.org/details/ygl-2008-official-list.doc.elon-musk-world-economic-forum-young-global-leaders-2008</ref> who receives corporate funding from his fellow Paypal Mafia member, [[Peter Thiel]] via Founder's Fund<ref>https://foundersfund.com/portfolio/</ref>.

=== Connection to Alex Jones ===
[[Adrian Dittmann]], a suspected alias of Musk, has been a guest on Infowars on multiple occasions. Alex implies on the July 7, 2024 Infowars show that Elon is using Tucker through the Heritage Foundation to further Elon's interests, and Jones has come under criticism in the past few years of turning Infowars into an Elon infomercial.

Talk:Alex Jones

2025-05-06T20:01:15Z

SuperAdmin: /* Stock Market */

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

[[File:Possible Jones Family Tree.png|thumb]]

===Paternal Grandparents===
====Jerry Jones====
'''Paternal Grandfather'''

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/G7SP-TJP/jerry-jones-1922-1980 Family Search]

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846973/jerry-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 06 03'''

01:32:40 --> 01:32:47
He had been in World War II in some of the same squadrons with ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones''.

'''2014 01 06'''

01:53:39 --> 01:53:41
Great guy out in East Texas. I was thinking about ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones'' ...

'''2017 09 26'''

01:58:03 --> 01:58:08
''That was my grandfather's name, Jerry Jones'' ...

====Patty Johnson====
'''Paternal Grandmother'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846935/patricia_louise-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 10 21'''

21:22 --> 21:30
And I remember my father's mother, my grandmother, Patty Jones.

'''2014 03 17'''

34:36 --> 34:43
My grandfather while he died a lung cancer in just a few months. ''Jerry Jones'' wasn't as tough as ''Patty Jones''.

'''August 15 2023'''
1:53:52.440 --> 1:53:56.520
school administrator and my grandmother really into education

1:54:00.040 --> 1:54:09.320
Patty Jones and she and put him in all these science fairs and contests and kept winning them and at 14 Union Carbide says out of Houston ...

'''March 10 2024'''

1:38:45.000 --> 1:39:05.000
I just realized that youth is wasted on the youth because I would love to know Patty Jones today. She died 19 years ago and my other grandmother was just as amazing but it would take all the time to talk about Benny Grace Hammond.

1:39:05.000 --> 1:39:17.000
But that's what I grew up seeing in women and then they were super charged they came in the room you felt their presence they were alive.

===Maternal Grandparents===
====Clyde William Hammond Jr====
'''Maternal Grandfather'''

[https://gw.geneanet.org/tdowling?n=hamman&oc=&p=clyde+william Geneanet]

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/LT5J-1LS/clyde-william-hamman-jr.-1923-2002 Family Search]

'''2014 01 22'''

57:23 --> 57:35
By the way my grandfather William Hammond was an inventor.

57:35 --> 57:51
From the time he was a teenager because he lives next door to a German American who was a famous holder of patents on refrigeration and air conditioning so that's how he got the bug to build.

'''2013 07 31'''

01:39:38 --> 01:39:42
So I know Hitler was bad because I was told about it by my grandfather, okay?

01:39:42 --> 01:39:44
William Hammond.

'''2008 09 03'''

11:04 --> 11:11
And so my grandfather was in this community being German, ''William Hammond''.

'' The following attests to the William Gresham ([https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/46499163/william-david-hamman Find a grave]), Clyde's grandfather''

'''2017 05 21'''

14:42 --> 14:47
While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.

'''2016 04 05'''

30:09 --> 30:15
you had your bets. And then on the interesting story on ''the Gresham side of my mom's family'' ...

'''2015 04 26'''

01:03:46 --> 01:03:51
almost my grandfather's grandfather. Up in temple he was an advertising guy on the temple newspaper

01:03:51 --> 01:04:02
and a couple others and ''William Gresham''. He would go into the drugstore and they had

01:04:02 --> 01:04:06
serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was ''Gresham'' and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35 --> 02:03:41
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name ...

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:20 --> 02:03:26
But ''my great great great grandfather'' was one of the first cocaine dealers in the United States

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was ''Gresham'' and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

====Bennie Grayce Pope====
'''Maternal Grandmother'''

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/tree/person/LT5V-38W Family Search]

'''2017 02 13'''

02:35:10 --> 02:35:11
You know what? I'm going to check that and make sure that Benny Grace Hammond does not vote Democrat.

'''2018 01 11'''

02:17:37 --> 02:17:40
Just died last year. ''Benny Grace Hammond''.

02:17:42 --> 02:17:47
She, during the whole polio outbreak, went and got her first polio shot

'''2018 12 13'''

14:07 --> 14:16

told her, oh, she was there in the hospital room with the iron lung, told her, yes,

14:16 --> 14:20
''Benny Grace Hammond'', you got it for you. You have the strain from the vaccine.

'''2015 05 08'''
01:07:04.280 --> 01:07:10.360
My grandmother had had one vaccine for the polio.

01:07:10.360 --> 01:07:15.720
Then they said, ''Benny'', this is in 1951, my mother was five years old, four years old,

01:07:15.720 --> 01:07:18.600
my uncle was 10.

'''2017 09 19'''

01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:38.000
I don't believe in big pharma caught doing medical experiments caught doing sterile into the vaccines you name it cancer viruses. Look it up.

01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:51.000
SV 40 and more. My grandmother was told she got polio. The second shot she got for a new strain live polio. They said ''Ms. Hammond''. You got polio. She just died this year.

01:02:51.000 --> 01:03:06.000
She couldn't walk. She was in a wheelchair. Rest of her life. This is my mom was five years old. They told her ''Ms. Hammond''. You got polio from the vaccine. Her doctor told her back in the 1950s. So here is ''Carol J. Baker''. Then we're going to our guest.

===Other Relatives===
==== William Hammond====
'''Maternal uncle, father of [[Buckley Hamman]]'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/122873641/william-forrest-hamman Find a grave]

'''2013 12 23'''

01:59:18 --> 01:59:28
His name is William Forest Hammond, not the William Hammond. It was a fake pilot or something. I was googling that the other night and saw some other William Hammond.

01:59:28 --> 01:59:34
So it's not that William Hammond. But certainly pray, pray for him.

01:59:34 --> 01:59:42
All that comes up from uncles and LSU was at football player and track team. And that is the right William Hammond back.

I think in 1964 where he went to Vietnam. But I'm going to go see him. And I meant to call my dad during that break.

'''2013 12 18'''

02:22:50 --> 02:22:53
and because I really love my uncle you know he's one of the people that helped wake me up with

02:22:53 --> 02:23:00
the new world order he's actually called in on the show up of the years William Hammond and just

02:23:00 --> 02:23:07
pray for him out in East Texas he's in a good hospital in Tyler

'''2013 12 18'''

02:17:29.840 --> 02:17:34
spelled all over it when it's a triple threat I've had family that's died people that are almost

02:17:34 --> 02:17:40
died sicknesses police pray for my uncle William Hammond folks because he's as strong as a horse

02:17:40 --> 02:17:46
and he wasn't at a whole nine yards but it killed his son a few weeks ago went to his funeral

'''2014 01 03'''

02:35 --> 02:40
My uncle did pass today at about 3 30 a.m. and the reason I mentioned it is a lot of you prayed for him and I appreciate he was a great guy.

02:42 --> 02:46
One of the people that was instrumental in helping wake me up to how the world really worked.

02:47 --> 02:54
68 years old, a Vietnam helicopter pilot veteran, just a great patriot and one of the best men I've ever known, you say he's a good guy, he's a sweet person, he's a smart person.

03:01 --> 03:05
You literally, that's the only thing that comes to mind when you talk about my uncle,

03:05 --> 03:07
William Forest, Hammond.

'''2014 01 17'''

01:28:03 --> 01:28:10
it was my uncle, William Farris Hammond, who recommended that song about 10 years ago for the show,

01:28:10 --> 01:28:17
sundown on the union. And of course, he died a few weeks ago. I just always remember him.

==== Colonel Travis====
Alex has made claims Col Travis was part of his family.

'''February 26 2024'''
3:08:43.000 --> 3:09:10
My family did raise Colonel Travis's son. His last letter is to my family in Gonzales, Texas. We did raising my direct ancestors on my paternal side. Maternal side. And so I am not just with that. I'm going to bring up Texas lore. But if I sort of getting a Texas lore. It's ridiculous. I'm related to the leaders of the Texas revolution.

'''2024 11 14'''
2:07:06.640 --> 2:07:11.320
My mother's side founded Texas, Washington, the Brasus, wrote it all, launched it with Colonel Travis, raised Colonel Travis's son.

'''2024 08 16'''
2:42:37.320 --> 2:42:51.320
The Brasos in East Texas, raised colonel Travis's son, funded the troops ran it by mother's family. Literally was the detonator for the text revolution hard core Protestants. I mean, I come from Protestants folks as hard core as you can get going back 400 years.

'''2025 03 12'''

27:11.000 --> 27:19.000
Quite interesting to say the least a little size of family, but my family were the adopters of Colonel Travis's son on record and raised him.

==== Dr. Pepper ====
Alex has made claims an ancestor was associated with creating Dr. Pepper
20250316_Sun_Alex-Hr2
42:58.280 --> 43:16.920
My great, great grandfather on my mom's side, Gresham was his that name, he owned the

43:16.920 --> 43:25.080
temple newspaper, Macden temples, one of the biggest cities in Texas and he had a big

43:25.080 --> 43:27.800
advertising that was the big drug store.

43:27.800 --> 43:31.840
I grab a lot of told us he would have had copies of it, my mom couldn't find it when they died.

43:32.840 --> 43:35.920
I remember the following, it was a whole house full of clippings and stuff, but I remember

43:35.920 --> 43:40.960
him showing me because he owned the newspaper but he advertised, he invented the name Dr.

43:40.960 --> 43:41.960
Pepper.

43:41.960 --> 43:46.440
He did own Dr. Pepper was his big sponsor but he got so big that's how they built the

43:46.440 --> 43:53.240
coca the, I've ever planned in temple, the original one and he created the name of Dr.

43:53.240 --> 43:55.680
Pepper and it had cocaine too.

20190905_Thu_Alex
02:03:20.920 --> 02:03:26.600
But my great great great grandfather was one of the first cocaine dealers in the United States

02:03:27.240 --> 02:03:29.720
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30.560 --> 02:03:34.960
Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35.160 --> 02:03:41.440
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name it was the

02:03:41.440 --> 02:03:46.340
Drug store apothecary that actually developed it was his favorite and they said well

02:03:46.340 --> 02:03:52.080
What do you name it Dr. Pepper and then he ran the first ads then they you know had had the big bottling thing up in temple a little bit of lore

==== Stock Market ====
Alex has said his ancestors created the stock market.

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T18:17:25Z

SuperAdmin: /* Dr. Pepper */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

[[File:Possible Jones Family Tree.png|thumb]]

===Paternal Grandparents===
====Jerry Jones====
'''Paternal Grandfather'''

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/G7SP-TJP/jerry-jones-1922-1980 Family Search]

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846973/jerry-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 06 03'''

01:32:40 --> 01:32:47
He had been in World War II in some of the same squadrons with ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones''.

'''2014 01 06'''

01:53:39 --> 01:53:41
Great guy out in East Texas. I was thinking about ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones'' ...

'''2017 09 26'''

01:58:03 --> 01:58:08
''That was my grandfather's name, Jerry Jones'' ...

====Patty Johnson====
'''Paternal Grandmother'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846935/patricia_louise-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 10 21'''

21:22 --> 21:30
And I remember my father's mother, my grandmother, Patty Jones.

'''2014 03 17'''

34:36 --> 34:43
My grandfather while he died a lung cancer in just a few months. ''Jerry Jones'' wasn't as tough as ''Patty Jones''.

'''August 15 2023'''
1:53:52.440 --> 1:53:56.520
school administrator and my grandmother really into education

1:54:00.040 --> 1:54:09.320
Patty Jones and she and put him in all these science fairs and contests and kept winning them and at 14 Union Carbide says out of Houston ...

'''March 10 2024'''

1:38:45.000 --> 1:39:05.000
I just realized that youth is wasted on the youth because I would love to know Patty Jones today. She died 19 years ago and my other grandmother was just as amazing but it would take all the time to talk about Benny Grace Hammond.

1:39:05.000 --> 1:39:17.000
But that's what I grew up seeing in women and then they were super charged they came in the room you felt their presence they were alive.

===Maternal Grandparents===
====Clyde William Hammond Jr====
'''Maternal Grandfather'''

[https://gw.geneanet.org/tdowling?n=hamman&oc=&p=clyde+william Geneanet]

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/LT5J-1LS/clyde-william-hamman-jr.-1923-2002 Family Search]

'''2014 01 22'''

57:23 --> 57:35
By the way my grandfather William Hammond was an inventor.

57:35 --> 57:51
From the time he was a teenager because he lives next door to a German American who was a famous holder of patents on refrigeration and air conditioning so that's how he got the bug to build.

'''2013 07 31'''

01:39:38 --> 01:39:42
So I know Hitler was bad because I was told about it by my grandfather, okay?

01:39:42 --> 01:39:44
William Hammond.

'''2008 09 03'''

11:04 --> 11:11
And so my grandfather was in this community being German, ''William Hammond''.

'' The following attests to the William Gresham ([https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/46499163/william-david-hamman Find a grave]), Clyde's grandfather''

'''2017 05 21'''

14:42 --> 14:47
While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.

'''2016 04 05'''

30:09 --> 30:15
you had your bets. And then on the interesting story on ''the Gresham side of my mom's family'' ...

'''2015 04 26'''

01:03:46 --> 01:03:51
almost my grandfather's grandfather. Up in temple he was an advertising guy on the temple newspaper

01:03:51 --> 01:04:02
and a couple others and ''William Gresham''. He would go into the drugstore and they had

01:04:02 --> 01:04:06
serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was ''Gresham'' and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35 --> 02:03:41
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name ...

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:20 --> 02:03:26
But ''my great great great grandfather'' was one of the first cocaine dealers in the United States

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was ''Gresham'' and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

====Bennie Grayce Pope====
'''Maternal Grandmother'''

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/tree/person/LT5V-38W Family Search]

'''2017 02 13'''

02:35:10 --> 02:35:11
You know what? I'm going to check that and make sure that Benny Grace Hammond does not vote Democrat.

'''2018 01 11'''

02:17:37 --> 02:17:40
Just died last year. ''Benny Grace Hammond''.

02:17:42 --> 02:17:47
She, during the whole polio outbreak, went and got her first polio shot

'''2018 12 13'''

14:07 --> 14:16

told her, oh, she was there in the hospital room with the iron lung, told her, yes,

14:16 --> 14:20
''Benny Grace Hammond'', you got it for you. You have the strain from the vaccine.

'''2015 05 08'''
01:07:04.280 --> 01:07:10.360
My grandmother had had one vaccine for the polio.

01:07:10.360 --> 01:07:15.720
Then they said, ''Benny'', this is in 1951, my mother was five years old, four years old,

01:07:15.720 --> 01:07:18.600
my uncle was 10.

'''2017 09 19'''

01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:38.000
I don't believe in big pharma caught doing medical experiments caught doing sterile into the vaccines you name it cancer viruses. Look it up.

01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:51.000
SV 40 and more. My grandmother was told she got polio. The second shot she got for a new strain live polio. They said ''Ms. Hammond''. You got polio. She just died this year.

01:02:51.000 --> 01:03:06.000
She couldn't walk. She was in a wheelchair. Rest of her life. This is my mom was five years old. They told her ''Ms. Hammond''. You got polio from the vaccine. Her doctor told her back in the 1950s. So here is ''Carol J. Baker''. Then we're going to our guest.

===Other Relatives===
==== William Hammond====
'''Maternal uncle, father of [[Buckley Hamman]]'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/122873641/william-forrest-hamman Find a grave]

'''2013 12 23'''

01:59:18 --> 01:59:28
His name is William Forest Hammond, not the William Hammond. It was a fake pilot or something. I was googling that the other night and saw some other William Hammond.

01:59:28 --> 01:59:34
So it's not that William Hammond. But certainly pray, pray for him.

01:59:34 --> 01:59:42
All that comes up from uncles and LSU was at football player and track team. And that is the right William Hammond back.

I think in 1964 where he went to Vietnam. But I'm going to go see him. And I meant to call my dad during that break.

'''2013 12 18'''

02:22:50 --> 02:22:53
and because I really love my uncle you know he's one of the people that helped wake me up with

02:22:53 --> 02:23:00
the new world order he's actually called in on the show up of the years William Hammond and just

02:23:00 --> 02:23:07
pray for him out in East Texas he's in a good hospital in Tyler

'''2013 12 18'''

02:17:29.840 --> 02:17:34
spelled all over it when it's a triple threat I've had family that's died people that are almost

02:17:34 --> 02:17:40
died sicknesses police pray for my uncle William Hammond folks because he's as strong as a horse

02:17:40 --> 02:17:46
and he wasn't at a whole nine yards but it killed his son a few weeks ago went to his funeral

'''2014 01 03'''

02:35 --> 02:40
My uncle did pass today at about 3 30 a.m. and the reason I mentioned it is a lot of you prayed for him and I appreciate he was a great guy.

02:42 --> 02:46
One of the people that was instrumental in helping wake me up to how the world really worked.

02:47 --> 02:54
68 years old, a Vietnam helicopter pilot veteran, just a great patriot and one of the best men I've ever known, you say he's a good guy, he's a sweet person, he's a smart person.

03:01 --> 03:05
You literally, that's the only thing that comes to mind when you talk about my uncle,

03:05 --> 03:07
William Forest, Hammond.

'''2014 01 17'''

01:28:03 --> 01:28:10
it was my uncle, William Farris Hammond, who recommended that song about 10 years ago for the show,

01:28:10 --> 01:28:17
sundown on the union. And of course, he died a few weeks ago. I just always remember him.

===Genealogical assertions by Jones===
{{stub}}
==== Colonel Travis====
'''February 26 2024'''
3:08:43.000 --> 3:09:10
My family did raise Colonel Travis's son. His last letter is to my family in Gonzales, Texas. We did raising my direct ancestors on my paternal side. Maternal side. And so I am not just with that. I'm going to bring up Texas lore. But if I sort of getting a Texas lore. It's ridiculous. I'm related to the leaders of the Texas revolution.

'''2024 11 14'''
2:07:06.640 --> 2:07:11.320
My mother's side founded Texas, Washington, the Brasus, wrote it all, launched it with Colonel Travis, raised Colonel Travis's son.

'''2024 08 16'''
2:42:37.320 --> 2:42:51.320
The Brasos in East Texas, raised colonel Travis's son, funded the troops ran it by mother's family. Literally was the detonator for the text revolution hard core Protestants. I mean, I come from Protestants folks as hard core as you can get going back 400 years.

'''2025 03 12'''

27:11.000 --> 27:19.000
Quite interesting to say the least a little size of family, but my family were the adopters of Colonel Travis's son on record and raised him.

==== Dr. Pepper ====

42:58.280 --> 43:16.920
My great, great grandfather on my mom's side, Gresham was his that name, he owned the

43:16.920 --> 43:25.080
temple newspaper, Macden temples, one of the biggest cities in Texas and he had a big

43:25.080 --> 43:27.800
advertising that was the big drug store.

43:27.800 --> 43:31.840
I grab a lot of told us he would have had copies of it, my mom couldn't find it when they died.

43:32.840 --> 43:35.920
I remember the following, it was a whole house full of clippings and stuff, but I remember

43:35.920 --> 43:40.960
him showing me because he owned the newspaper but he advertised, he invented the name Dr.

43:40.960 --> 43:41.960
Pepper.

43:41.960 --> 43:46.440
He did own Dr. Pepper was his big sponsor but he got so big that's how they built the

43:46.440 --> 43:53.240
coca the, I've ever planned in temple, the original one and he created the name of Dr.

43:53.240 --> 43:55.680
Pepper and it had cocaine too.

02:03:20.920 --> 02:03:26.600
But my great great great grandfather was one of the first cocaine dealers in the United States

02:03:27.240 --> 02:03:29.720
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30.560 --> 02:03:34.960
Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35.160 --> 02:03:41.440
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name it was the

02:03:41.440 --> 02:03:46.340
Drug store apothecary that actually developed it was his favorite and they said well

02:03:46.340 --> 02:03:52.080

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T18:09:26Z

SuperAdmin: /* Colonel Travis */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

[[File:Possible Jones Family Tree.png|thumb]]

===Paternal Grandparents===
====Jerry Jones====
'''Paternal Grandfather'''

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/G7SP-TJP/jerry-jones-1922-1980 Family Search]

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846973/jerry-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 06 03'''

01:32:40 --> 01:32:47
He had been in World War II in some of the same squadrons with ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones''.

'''2014 01 06'''

01:53:39 --> 01:53:41
Great guy out in East Texas. I was thinking about ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones'' ...

'''2017 09 26'''

01:58:03 --> 01:58:08
''That was my grandfather's name, Jerry Jones'' ...

====Patty Johnson====
'''Paternal Grandmother'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846935/patricia_louise-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 10 21'''

21:22 --> 21:30
And I remember my father's mother, my grandmother, Patty Jones.

'''2014 03 17'''

34:36 --> 34:43
My grandfather while he died a lung cancer in just a few months. ''Jerry Jones'' wasn't as tough as ''Patty Jones''.

'''August 15 2023'''
1:53:52.440 --> 1:53:56.520
school administrator and my grandmother really into education

1:54:00.040 --> 1:54:09.320
Patty Jones and she and put him in all these science fairs and contests and kept winning them and at 14 Union Carbide says out of Houston ...

'''March 10 2024'''

1:38:45.000 --> 1:39:05.000
I just realized that youth is wasted on the youth because I would love to know Patty Jones today. She died 19 years ago and my other grandmother was just as amazing but it would take all the time to talk about Benny Grace Hammond.

1:39:05.000 --> 1:39:17.000
But that's what I grew up seeing in women and then they were super charged they came in the room you felt their presence they were alive.

===Maternal Grandparents===
====Clyde William Hammond Jr====
'''Maternal Grandfather'''

[https://gw.geneanet.org/tdowling?n=hamman&oc=&p=clyde+william Geneanet]

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/LT5J-1LS/clyde-william-hamman-jr.-1923-2002 Family Search]

'''2014 01 22'''

57:23 --> 57:35
By the way my grandfather William Hammond was an inventor.

57:35 --> 57:51
From the time he was a teenager because he lives next door to a German American who was a famous holder of patents on refrigeration and air conditioning so that's how he got the bug to build.

'''2013 07 31'''

01:39:38 --> 01:39:42
So I know Hitler was bad because I was told about it by my grandfather, okay?

01:39:42 --> 01:39:44
William Hammond.

'''2008 09 03'''

11:04 --> 11:11
And so my grandfather was in this community being German, ''William Hammond''.

'' The following attests to the William Gresham ([https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/46499163/william-david-hamman Find a grave]), Clyde's grandfather''

'''2017 05 21'''

14:42 --> 14:47
While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.

'''2016 04 05'''

30:09 --> 30:15
you had your bets. And then on the interesting story on ''the Gresham side of my mom's family'' ...

'''2015 04 26'''

01:03:46 --> 01:03:51
almost my grandfather's grandfather. Up in temple he was an advertising guy on the temple newspaper

01:03:51 --> 01:04:02
and a couple others and ''William Gresham''. He would go into the drugstore and they had

01:04:02 --> 01:04:06
serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was ''Gresham'' and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35 --> 02:03:41
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name ...

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:20 --> 02:03:26
But ''my great great great grandfather'' was one of the first cocaine dealers in the United States

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was ''Gresham'' and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

====Bennie Grayce Pope====
'''Maternal Grandmother'''

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/tree/person/LT5V-38W Family Search]

'''2017 02 13'''

02:35:10 --> 02:35:11
You know what? I'm going to check that and make sure that Benny Grace Hammond does not vote Democrat.

'''2018 01 11'''

02:17:37 --> 02:17:40
Just died last year. ''Benny Grace Hammond''.

02:17:42 --> 02:17:47
She, during the whole polio outbreak, went and got her first polio shot

'''2018 12 13'''

14:07 --> 14:16

told her, oh, she was there in the hospital room with the iron lung, told her, yes,

14:16 --> 14:20
''Benny Grace Hammond'', you got it for you. You have the strain from the vaccine.

'''2015 05 08'''
01:07:04.280 --> 01:07:10.360
My grandmother had had one vaccine for the polio.

01:07:10.360 --> 01:07:15.720
Then they said, ''Benny'', this is in 1951, my mother was five years old, four years old,

01:07:15.720 --> 01:07:18.600
my uncle was 10.

'''2017 09 19'''

01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:38.000
I don't believe in big pharma caught doing medical experiments caught doing sterile into the vaccines you name it cancer viruses. Look it up.

01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:51.000
SV 40 and more. My grandmother was told she got polio. The second shot she got for a new strain live polio. They said ''Ms. Hammond''. You got polio. She just died this year.

01:02:51.000 --> 01:03:06.000
She couldn't walk. She was in a wheelchair. Rest of her life. This is my mom was five years old. They told her ''Ms. Hammond''. You got polio from the vaccine. Her doctor told her back in the 1950s. So here is ''Carol J. Baker''. Then we're going to our guest.

===Other Relatives===
==== William Hammond====
'''Maternal uncle, father of [[Buckley Hamman]]'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/122873641/william-forrest-hamman Find a grave]

'''2013 12 23'''

01:59:18 --> 01:59:28
His name is William Forest Hammond, not the William Hammond. It was a fake pilot or something. I was googling that the other night and saw some other William Hammond.

01:59:28 --> 01:59:34
So it's not that William Hammond. But certainly pray, pray for him.

01:59:34 --> 01:59:42
All that comes up from uncles and LSU was at football player and track team. And that is the right William Hammond back.

I think in 1964 where he went to Vietnam. But I'm going to go see him. And I meant to call my dad during that break.

'''2013 12 18'''

02:22:50 --> 02:22:53
and because I really love my uncle you know he's one of the people that helped wake me up with

02:22:53 --> 02:23:00
the new world order he's actually called in on the show up of the years William Hammond and just

02:23:00 --> 02:23:07
pray for him out in East Texas he's in a good hospital in Tyler

'''2013 12 18'''

02:17:29.840 --> 02:17:34
spelled all over it when it's a triple threat I've had family that's died people that are almost

02:17:34 --> 02:17:40
died sicknesses police pray for my uncle William Hammond folks because he's as strong as a horse

02:17:40 --> 02:17:46
and he wasn't at a whole nine yards but it killed his son a few weeks ago went to his funeral

'''2014 01 03'''

02:35 --> 02:40
My uncle did pass today at about 3 30 a.m. and the reason I mentioned it is a lot of you prayed for him and I appreciate he was a great guy.

02:42 --> 02:46
One of the people that was instrumental in helping wake me up to how the world really worked.

02:47 --> 02:54
68 years old, a Vietnam helicopter pilot veteran, just a great patriot and one of the best men I've ever known, you say he's a good guy, he's a sweet person, he's a smart person.

03:01 --> 03:05
You literally, that's the only thing that comes to mind when you talk about my uncle,

03:05 --> 03:07
William Forest, Hammond.

'''2014 01 17'''

01:28:03 --> 01:28:10
it was my uncle, William Farris Hammond, who recommended that song about 10 years ago for the show,

01:28:10 --> 01:28:17
sundown on the union. And of course, he died a few weeks ago. I just always remember him.

===Genealogical assertions by Jones===
{{stub}}
==== Colonel Travis====
'''February 26 2024'''
3:08:43.000 --> 3:09:10
My family did raise Colonel Travis's son. His last letter is to my family in Gonzales, Texas. We did raising my direct ancestors on my paternal side. Maternal side. And so I am not just with that. I'm going to bring up Texas lore. But if I sort of getting a Texas lore. It's ridiculous. I'm related to the leaders of the Texas revolution.

'''2024 11 14'''
2:07:06.640 --> 2:07:11.320
My mother's side founded Texas, Washington, the Brasus, wrote it all, launched it with Colonel Travis, raised Colonel Travis's son.

'''2024 08 16'''
2:42:37.320 --> 2:42:51.320
The Brasos in East Texas, raised colonel Travis's son, funded the troops ran it by mother's family. Literally was the detonator for the text revolution hard core Protestants. I mean, I come from Protestants folks as hard core as you can get going back 400 years.

'''2025 03 12'''

27:11.000 --> 27:19.000
Quite interesting to say the least a little size of family, but my family were the adopters of Colonel Travis's son on record and raised him.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>.

Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign.

===Paternal Grandparents===
====Jerry Jones====
'''Paternal Grandfather'''

'''2009 06 03'''

01:32:40 --> 01:32:47
He had been in World War II in some of the same squadrons with ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones''.

'''2014 01 06'''

01:53:39 --> 01:53:41
Great guy out in East Texas. I was thinking about ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones'' ...

'''2017 09 26'''

01:58:03 --> 01:58:08

'''March 10 2024'''

1:38:45.000 --> 1:39:05.000
I just realized that youth is wasted on the youth because I would love to know Patty Jones today. She died 19 years ago and my other grandmother was just as amazing but it would take all the time to talk about Benny Grace Hammond.

1:39:05.000 --> 1:39:17.000
But that's what I grew up seeing in women and then they were super charged they came in the room you felt their presence they were alive.

'''2017 05 21'''

14:42 --> 14:47
While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.

'''2016 04 05'''

30:09 --> 30:15

'''2015 04 26'''

01:03:46 --> 01:03:51

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was ''Gresham'' and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35 --> 02:03:41
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name ...

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:20 --> 02:03:26
But ''my great great great grandfather'' was one of the first cocaine dealers in the United States

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was ''Gresham'' and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

====Bennie Grayce Pope====

''Benny Grace Hammond'', you got it for you. You have the strain from the vaccine.

'''2015 05 08'''
01:07:04.280 --> 01:07:10.360
My grandmother had had one vaccine for the polio.

01:07:10.360 --> 01:07:15.720
Then they said, ''Benny'', this is in 1951, my mother was five years old, four years old,

01:07:15.720 --> 01:07:18.600
my uncle was 10.

'''2017 09 19'''

01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:38.000
I don't believe in big pharma caught doing medical experiments caught doing sterile into the vaccines you name it cancer viruses. Look it up.

01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:51.000

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T18:03:06Z

SuperAdmin: /* Genealogy */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T18:02:19Z

SuperAdmin: /* William Hammond */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

She couldn't walk. She was in a wheelchair. Rest of her life. This is my mom was five years old. They told her ''Ms. Hammond''. You got polio from the vaccine. Her doctor told her back in the 1950s. So here is ''Carol J. Baker''. Then we're going to our guest.

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T18:01:28Z

SuperAdmin: /* Bennie Grayce Pope */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

[[File:Possible Jones Family Tree.png|thumb]]

===Paternal Grandparents===
====Jerry Jones====
'''Paternal Grandfather'''

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/G7SP-TJP/jerry-jones-1922-1980 Family Search]

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846973/jerry-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 06 03'''

01:32:40 --> 01:32:47
He had been in World War II in some of the same squadrons with ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones''.

'''2014 01 06'''

01:53:39 --> 01:53:41
Great guy out in East Texas. I was thinking about ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones'' ...

'''2017 09 26'''

01:58:03 --> 01:58:08
''That was my grandfather's name, Jerry Jones'' ...

====Patty Johnson====
'''Paternal Grandmother'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846935/patricia_louise-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 10 21'''

21:22 --> 21:30
And I remember my father's mother, my grandmother, Patty Jones.

'''2014 03 17'''

34:36 --> 34:43
My grandfather while he died a lung cancer in just a few months. ''Jerry Jones'' wasn't as tough as ''Patty Jones''.

'''August 15 2023'''
1:53:52.440 --> 1:53:56.520
school administrator and my grandmother really into education

1:54:00.040 --> 1:54:09.320
Patty Jones and she and put him in all these science fairs and contests and kept winning them and at 14 Union Carbide says out of Houston ...

'''March 10 2024'''

1:38:45.000 --> 1:39:05.000
I just realized that youth is wasted on the youth because I would love to know Patty Jones today. She died 19 years ago and my other grandmother was just as amazing but it would take all the time to talk about Benny Grace Hammond.

1:39:05.000 --> 1:39:17.000
But that's what I grew up seeing in women and then they were super charged they came in the room you felt their presence they were alive.

===Maternal Grandparents===
====Clyde William Hammond Jr====
'''Maternal Grandfather'''

[https://gw.geneanet.org/tdowling?n=hamman&oc=&p=clyde+william Geneanet]

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/LT5J-1LS/clyde-william-hamman-jr.-1923-2002 Family Search]

'''2014 01 22'''

57:23 --> 57:35
By the way my grandfather William Hammond was an inventor.

57:35 --> 57:51
From the time he was a teenager because he lives next door to a German American who was a famous holder of patents on refrigeration and air conditioning so that's how he got the bug to build.

'''2013 07 31'''

01:39:38 --> 01:39:42
So I know Hitler was bad because I was told about it by my grandfather, okay?

01:39:42 --> 01:39:44
William Hammond.

'''2008 09 03'''

11:04 --> 11:11
And so my grandfather was in this community being German, ''William Hammond''.

'' The following attests to the William Gresham ([https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/46499163/william-david-hamman Find a grave]), Clyde's grandfather''

'''2017 05 21'''

14:42 --> 14:47
While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.

'''2016 04 05'''

30:09 --> 30:15
you had your bets. And then on the interesting story on ''the Gresham side of my mom's family'' ...

'''2015 04 26'''

01:03:46 --> 01:03:51
almost my grandfather's grandfather. Up in temple he was an advertising guy on the temple newspaper

01:03:51 --> 01:04:02
and a couple others and ''William Gresham''. He would go into the drugstore and they had

01:04:02 --> 01:04:06
serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was ''Gresham'' and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35 --> 02:03:41
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name ...

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:20 --> 02:03:26
But ''my great great great grandfather'' was one of the first cocaine dealers in the United States

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was ''Gresham'' and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

====Bennie Grayce Pope====
'''Maternal Grandmother'''

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/tree/person/LT5V-38W Family Search]

'''2017 02 13'''

02:35:10 --> 02:35:11
You know what? I'm going to check that and make sure that Benny Grace Hammond does not vote Democrat.

'''2018 01 11'''

02:17:37 --> 02:17:40
Just died last year. ''Benny Grace Hammond''.

02:17:42 --> 02:17:47
She, during the whole polio outbreak, went and got her first polio shot

'''2018 12 13'''

14:07 --> 14:16

told her, oh, she was there in the hospital room with the iron lung, told her, yes,

14:16 --> 14:20
''Benny Grace Hammond'', you got it for you. You have the strain from the vaccine.

'''2015 05 08'''
01:07:04.280 --> 01:07:10.360
My grandmother had had one vaccine for the polio.

01:07:10.360 --> 01:07:15.720
Then they said, ''Benny'', this is in 1951, my mother was five years old, four years old,

01:07:15.720 --> 01:07:18.600
my uncle was 10.

'''2017 09 19'''

01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:38.000
I don't believe in big pharma caught doing medical experiments caught doing sterile into the vaccines you name it cancer viruses. Look it up.

01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:51.000
SV 40 and more. My grandmother was told she got polio. The second shot she got for a new strain live polio. They said ''Ms. Hammond''. You got polio. She just died this year.

01:02:51.000 --> 01:03:06.000

In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last.

This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>.

Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

[[File:Possible Jones Family Tree.png|thumb]]

===Paternal Grandparents===
====Jerry Jones====
'''Paternal Grandfather'''

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/G7SP-TJP/jerry-jones-1922-1980 Family Search]

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846973/jerry-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 06 03'''

01:32:40 --> 01:32:47
He had been in World War II in some of the same squadrons with ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones''.

'''2014 01 06'''

01:53:39 --> 01:53:41
Great guy out in East Texas. I was thinking about ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones'' ...

'''2017 09 26'''

01:58:03 --> 01:58:08
''That was my grandfather's name, Jerry Jones'' ...

====Patty Johnson====
'''Paternal Grandmother'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846935/patricia_louise-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 10 21'''

21:22 --> 21:30
And I remember my father's mother, my grandmother, Patty Jones.

'''2014 03 17'''

34:36 --> 34:43
My grandfather while he died a lung cancer in just a few months. ''Jerry Jones'' wasn't as tough as ''Patty Jones''.

'''August 15 2023'''
1:53:52.440 --> 1:53:56.520
school administrator and my grandmother really into education

1:54:00.040 --> 1:54:09.320
Patty Jones and she and put him in all these science fairs and contests and kept winning them and at 14 Union Carbide says out of Houston ...

'''March 10 2024'''

1:38:45.000 --> 1:39:05.000
I just realized that youth is wasted on the youth because I would love to know Patty Jones today. She died 19 years ago and my other grandmother was just as amazing but it would take all the time to talk about Benny Grace Hammond.

1:39:05.000 --> 1:39:17.000
But that's what I grew up seeing in women and then they were super charged they came in the room you felt their presence they were alive.

===Maternal Grandparents===
====Clyde William Hammond Jr====
'''Maternal Grandfather'''

[https://gw.geneanet.org/tdowling?n=hamman&oc=&p=clyde+william Geneanet]

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/LT5J-1LS/clyde-william-hamman-jr.-1923-2002 Family Search]

'''2014 01 22'''

57:23 --> 57:35
By the way my grandfather William Hammond was an inventor.

57:35 --> 57:51
From the time he was a teenager because he lives next door to a German American who was a famous holder of patents on refrigeration and air conditioning so that's how he got the bug to build.

'''2013 07 31'''

01:39:38 --> 01:39:42
So I know Hitler was bad because I was told about it by my grandfather, okay?

01:39:42 --> 01:39:44
William Hammond.

'''2008 09 03'''

11:04 --> 11:11
And so my grandfather was in this community being German, ''William Hammond''.

'' The following attests to the William Gresham ([https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/46499163/william-david-hamman Find a grave]), Clyde's grandfather''

'''2017 05 21'''

14:42 --> 14:47
While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.

'''2016 04 05'''

30:09 --> 30:15
you had your bets. And then on the interesting story on ''the Gresham side of my mom's family'' ...

'''2015 04 26'''

01:03:46 --> 01:03:51
almost my grandfather's grandfather. Up in temple he was an advertising guy on the temple newspaper

01:03:51 --> 01:04:02
and a couple others and ''William Gresham''. He would go into the drugstore and they had

01:04:02 --> 01:04:06
serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was ''Gresham'' and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35 --> 02:03:41
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name ...

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:20 --> 02:03:26
But ''my great great great grandfather'' was one of the first cocaine dealers in the United States

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was ''Gresham'' and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

====Bennie Grayce Pope====
'''Maternal Grandmother'''

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/tree/person/LT5V-38W Family Search]

'''2017 02 13'''

02:35:10 --> 02:35:11
You know what?

02:35:11 --> 02:35:16
I'm going to check that and make sure that Benny Grace Hammond does not vote Democrat.

'''2018 01 11'''

02:17:37 --> 02:17:40
just died last year. Benny Grace Hammond.

02:17:42 --> 02:17:47
She, during the whole polio outbreak, went and got her first polio shot

'''2018 12 13'''

14:07 --> 14:16

told her, oh, she was there in the hospital room with the iron lung, told her, yes,

14:16 --> 14:20
Benny Grace Hammond, you got it for you.

14:20 --> 14:23
You have the strain from the vaccine.

'''2015 05 08'''
01:07:04.280 --> 01:07:10.360
My grandmother had had one vaccine for the polio.

01:07:10.360 --> 01:07:15.720
Then they said, Benny, this is in 1951, my mother was five years old, four years old,

01:07:15.720 --> 01:07:18.600
my uncle was 10.

'''2017 09 19'''

01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:38.000
So the truth is vaccines are spreading disease. It's not that I don't believe in the science. I don't believe in big pharma caught doing medical experiments caught doing sterile into the vaccines you name it cancer viruses. Look it up.

01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:51.000
SV 40 and more. My grandmother was told she got polio. The second shot she got for a new strain live polio. They said Ms. Hammond. You got polio. She just died this year.

01:02:51.000 --> 01:03:06.000
She couldn't walk. She was in a wheelchair. Rest of her life. This is my mom was five years old. They told her Ms. Hammond. You got polio from the vaccine. Her doctor told her back in the 1950s. So here is Carol J. Baker. Then we're going to our guest.

===Other Relatives===
==== William Hammond====
'''Maternal uncle, father of Buckley'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/122873641/william-forrest-hamman Find a grave]

'''2013 12 23'''

01:59:18 --> 01:59:28
His name is William Forest Hammond, not the William Hammond. It was a fake pilot or something. I was googling that the other night and saw some other William Hammond.

01:59:28 --> 01:59:34
So it's not that William Hammond. But certainly pray, pray for him.

01:59:34 --> 01:59:42
All that comes up from uncles and LSU was at football player and track team. And that is the right William Hammond back.

I think in 1964 where he went to Vietnam. But I'm going to go see him. And I meant to call my dad during that break.

'''2013 12 18'''

02:22:50 --> 02:22:53

02:22:53 --> 02:23:00

02:23:00 --> 02:23:07

'''2014 01 03'''

02:35 --> 02:40

02:42 --> 02:46
One of the people that was instrumental in helping wake me up to how the world really worked.

02:47 --> 02:54
68 years old, a Vietnam helicopter pilot veteran, just a great patriot and one of the best men I've ever known, you say he's a good guy, he's a sweet person, he's a smart person.

03:01 --> 03:05
You literally, that's the only thing that comes to mind when you talk about my uncle,

03:05 --> 03:07
William Forest, Hammond.

'''2014 01 17'''

01:28:03 --> 01:28:10
it was my uncle, William Farris Hammond, who recommended that song about 10 years ago for the show,

01:28:10 --> 01:28:17
sundown on the union. And of course, he died a few weeks ago. I just always remember him.

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T17:58:00Z

SuperAdmin: /* Paternal Grandparents */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria.

01:58:03 --> 01:58:08
''That was my grandfather's name, Jerry Jones'' ...

'''2009 10 21'''

21:22 --> 21:30
And I remember my father's mother, my grandmother, Patty Jones.

'''2014 03 17'''

34:36 --> 34:43
My grandfather while he died a lung cancer in just a few months. ''Jerry Jones'' wasn't as tough as ''Patty Jones''.

'''August 15 2023'''
1:53:52.440 --> 1:53:56.520
school administrator and my grandmother really into education

1:54:00.040 --> 1:54:09.320
Patty Jones and she and put him in all these science fairs and contests and kept winning them and at 14 Union Carbide says out of Houston ...

'''March 10 2024'''

1:38:45.000 --> 1:39:05.000
I just realized that youth is wasted on the youth because I would love to know Patty Jones today. She died 19 years ago and my other grandmother was just as amazing but it would take all the time to talk about Benny Grace Hammond.

1:39:05.000 --> 1:39:17.000
But that's what I grew up seeing in women and then they were super charged they came in the room you felt their presence they were alive.

'''2014 01 22'''

57:23 --> 57:35
By the way my grandfather William Hammond was an inventor.

57:35 --> 57:51
From the time he was a teenager because he lives next door to a German American who was a famous holder of patents on refrigeration and air conditioning so that's how he got the bug to build.

'''2013 07 31'''

01:39:38 --> 01:39:42

01:39:42 --> 01:39:44
William Hammond.

'''2008 09 03'''

11:04 --> 11:11
And so my grandfather was in this community being German, William Hammond.

11:11 --> 11:14
And I remember hearing those stories around the breakfast table when I was visiting

'' The following attests to the William Gresham ([https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/46499163/william-david-hamman Find a grave]), Clyde's grandfather''

'''2017 05 21'''

14:39 --> 14:42
He is America's vibrant stock market.

14:42 --> 14:47
While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.

'''2016 04 05'''

30:09 --> 30:15
you had your bets. And then on the interesting story on the ''Gresham side of my mom's family'' ...

'''2015 04 26'''

01:03:46 --> 01:03:51
almost my grandfather's grandfather. Up in temple he was an advertising guy on the temple newspaper

01:03:51 --> 01:04:02
and a couple others and William Gresham. He would go into the drugstore and they had

01:04:02 --> 01:04:06
serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35 --> 02:03:41
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name ...

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:20 --> 02:03:26
But my great great great grandfather was one of the first cocaine dealers in the United States

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34

'''2018 01 11'''

02:17:37 --> 02:17:40
just died last year. Benny Grace Hammond.

02:17:42 --> 02:17:47
She, during the whole polio outbreak, went and got her first polio shot

'''2018 12 13'''

14:07 --> 14:16

told her, oh, she was there in the hospital room with the iron lung, told her, yes,

14:16 --> 14:20
Benny Grace Hammond, you got it for you.

14:20 --> 14:23
You have the strain from the vaccine.

'''2015 05 08'''
01:07:04.280 --> 01:07:10.360
My grandmother had had one vaccine for the polio.

01:07:10.360 --> 01:07:15.720
Then they said, Benny, this is in 1951, my mother was five years old, four years old,

01:07:15.720 --> 01:07:18.600
my uncle was 10.

'''2017 09 19'''

01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:38.000
So the truth is vaccines are spreading disease. It's not that I don't believe in the science. I don't believe in big pharma caught doing medical experiments caught doing sterile into the vaccines you name it cancer viruses. Look it up.

01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:51.000
SV 40 and more. My grandmother was told she got polio. The second shot she got for a new strain live polio. They said Ms. Hammond. You got polio. She just died this year.

01:02:51.000 --> 01:03:06.000
She couldn't walk. She was in a wheelchair. Rest of her life. This is my mom was five years old. They told her Ms. Hammond. You got polio from the vaccine. Her doctor told her back in the 1950s. So here is Carol J. Baker. Then we're going to our guest.

01:59:18 --> 01:59:28
His name is William Forest Hammond, not the William Hammond. It was a fake pilot or something. I was googling that the other night and saw some other William Hammond.

01:59:28 --> 01:59:34
So it's not that William Hammond. But certainly pray, pray for him.

01:59:34 --> 01:59:42
All that comes up from uncles and LSU was at football player and track team. And that is the right William Hammond back.

I think in 1964 where he went to Vietnam. But I'm going to go see him. And I meant to call my dad during that break.

02:42 --> 02:46
One of the people that was instrumental in helping wake me up to how the world really worked.

02:47 --> 02:54
68 years old, a Vietnam helicopter pilot veteran, just a great patriot and one of the best men I've ever known, you say he's a good guy, he's a sweet person, he's a smart person.

03:01 --> 03:05
You literally, that's the only thing that comes to mind when you talk about my uncle,

03:05 --> 03:07
William Forest, Hammond.

'''2014 01 17'''

sundown on the union. And of course, he died a few weeks ago. I just always remember him.

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T17:55:14Z

SuperAdmin: /* Genealogy */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

'''2014 03 17'''

34:36 --> 34:43

My grandmother had had one vaccine for the polio.

01:07:10.360 --> 01:07:15.720
Then they said, Benny, this is in 1951, my mother was five years old, four years old,

01:07:15.720 --> 01:07:18.600
my uncle was 10.

'''2017 09 19'''

01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:38.000
So the truth is vaccines are spreading disease. It's not that I don't believe in the science. I don't believe in big pharma caught doing medical experiments caught doing sterile into the vaccines you name it cancer viruses. Look it up.

01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:51.000
SV 40 and more. My grandmother was told she got polio. The second shot she got for a new strain live polio. They said Ms. Hammond. You got polio. She just died this year.

01:02:51.000 --> 01:03:06.000
She couldn't walk. She was in a wheelchair. Rest of her life. This is my mom was five years old. They told her Ms. Hammond. You got polio from the vaccine. Her doctor told her back in the 1950s. So here is Carol J. Baker. Then we're going to our guest.

So it's not that William Hammond. But certainly pray, pray for him.

01:59:34 --> 01:59:42
All that comes up from uncles and LSU was at football player and track team. And that is the right William Hammond back.

William Forest, Hammond.

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T17:45:26Z

SuperAdmin: /* Clyde Hammond Jr */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

[[File:Possible Jones Family Tree.png|thumb]]

===Jerry Jones===
'''Paternal Grandfather'''

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/G7SP-TJP/jerry-jones-1922-1980 Family Search]

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846973/jerry-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 06 03'''

01:32:40 --> 01:32:47
He had been in World War II in some of the same squadrons with ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones''.

'''2014 01 06'''

01:53:39 --> 01:53:41
Great guy out in East Texas. I was thinking about ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones'' ...

'''2017 09 26'''

01:58:03 --> 01:58:08
''That was my grandfather's name, Jerry Jones'', a very shameful person that smile, that little smirk on his face.

===Patty Johnson===
'''Paternal Grandmother'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846935/patricia_louise-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 10 21'''

21:22 --> 21:30
And I remember my father's mother, my grandmother, Patty Jones.

21:30 --> 21:36
She had been sick for several years but was getting up and walking around and was fine

'''2014 03 17'''

34:36 --> 34:43
My grandfather while he died a lung cancer in just a few months.

34:43 --> 34:48
Jerry Jones wasn't as tough as Patty Jones.

34:48 --> 34:55
And then there's all my family this died of Agent Orange. She's all the loving gifts of the New World Order.

'''2018 01 07'''

01:14:04 --> 01:14:08
I was like eight years old, staying there one summer. And I said, yes. Patty Jones. She said, I'm going to have

01:14:18 --> 01:14:23
them cut that down. She said, he wrote some pretty tree son. It's not producing any plums.

'''August 15 2023'''
1:53:52.440 --> 1:53:56.520
school administrator and my grandmother really into education

1:54:00.040 --> 1:54:09.320
patty jones and she and put him in all these science fairs and contests and kept winning him

1:54:10.760 --> 1:54:16.200
and at 14 union carbide says out of Houston

'''March 10 2024'''

1:38:45.000 --> 1:39:05.000
I just realized that youth is wasted on the youth because I would love to know Patty Jones today. She died 19 years ago and my other grandmother was just as amazing but it would take all the time to talk about Benny Grace Hammond.

1:39:05.000 --> 1:39:17.000
But that's what I grew up seeing in women and then they were super charged they came in the room you felt their presence they were alive.

===Clyde Hammond Jr===
'''Maternal Grandfather'''

[https://gw.geneanet.org/tdowling?n=hamman&oc=&p=clyde+william Geneanet]

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/LT5J-1LS/clyde-william-hamman-jr.-1923-2002 Family Search]

'''2014 01 22'''

57:23 --> 57:35
By the way my grandfather William Hammond was an inventor.

57:35 --> 57:51
From the time he was a teenager because he lives next door to a German American who was a famous holder of patents on refrigeration and air conditioning so that's how he got the bug to build.

'''2013 07 31'''

01:39:38 --> 01:39:42
So I know Hitler was bad because I was told about it by my grandfather, okay?

01:39:42 --> 01:39:44
William Hammond.

'''2008 09 03'''

11:04 --> 11:11
And so my grandfather was in this community being German, William Hammond.

11:11 --> 11:14
And I remember hearing those stories around the breakfast table when I was visiting

'' The following attests to the William Gresham ([https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/46499163/william-david-hamman Find a grave]), Clyde's grandfather''

'''2017 05 21'''

14:39 --> 14:42
He is America's vibrant stock market.

14:42 --> 14:47
While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.

'''2016 04 05'''

30:09 --> 30:15
you had your bets. And then on the interesting story on the ''Gresham side of my mom's family'' ...

'''2015 04 26'''

01:03:46 --> 01:03:51
almost my grandfather's grandfather. Up in temple he was an advertising guy on the temple newspaper

01:03:51 --> 01:04:02
and a couple others and William Gresham. He would go into the drugstore and they had

01:04:02 --> 01:04:06
serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35 --> 02:03:41
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name ...

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:20 --> 02:03:26
But my great great great grandfather was one of the first cocaine dealers in the United States

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

===Bennie Grayce Pope===
'''Maternal Grandmother'''

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/tree/person/LT5V-38W Family Search]

'''2017 02 13'''

02:35:10 --> 02:35:11
You know what?

02:35:11 --> 02:35:16
I'm going to check that and make sure that Benny Grace Hammond does not vote Democrat.

'''2018 01 11'''

02:17:37 --> 02:17:40
just died last year. Benny Grace Hammond.

02:17:42 --> 02:17:47
She, during the whole polio outbreak, went and got her first polio shot

'''2018 12 13'''

14:07 --> 14:16

told her, oh, she was there in the hospital room with the iron lung, told her, yes,

14:16 --> 14:20
Benny Grace Hammond, you got it for you.

14:20 --> 14:23
You have the strain from the vaccine.

'''2015 05 08'''
01:07:04.280 --> 01:07:10.360
My grandmother had had one vaccine for the polio.

01:07:10.360 --> 01:07:15.720
Then they said, Benny, this is in 1951, my mother was five years old, four years old,

01:07:15.720 --> 01:07:18.600
my uncle was 10.

'''2017 09 19'''

01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:38.000
So the truth is vaccines are spreading disease. It's not that I don't believe in the science. I don't believe in big pharma caught doing medical experiments caught doing sterile into the vaccines you name it cancer viruses. Look it up.

01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:51.000
SV 40 and more. My grandmother was told she got polio. The second shot she got for a new strain live polio. They said Ms. Hammond. You got polio. She just died this year.

01:02:51.000 --> 01:03:06.000

According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

[[File:Possible Jones Family Tree.png|thumb]]

===Jerry Jones===
'''Paternal Grandfather'''

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/G7SP-TJP/jerry-jones-1922-1980 Family Search]

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846973/jerry-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 06 03'''

01:32:40 --> 01:32:47
He had been in World War II in some of the same squadrons with ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones''.

'''2014 01 06'''

01:53:39 --> 01:53:41
Great guy out in East Texas. I was thinking about ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones'' ...

'''2017 09 26'''

01:58:03 --> 01:58:08
''That was my grandfather's name, Jerry Jones'', a very shameful person that smile, that little smirk on his face.

===Patty Johnson===
'''Paternal Grandmother'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846935/patricia_louise-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 10 21'''

21:22 --> 21:30
And I remember my father's mother, my grandmother, Patty Jones.

21:30 --> 21:36
She had been sick for several years but was getting up and walking around and was fine

'''2014 03 17'''

34:36 --> 34:43
My grandfather while he died a lung cancer in just a few months.

34:43 --> 34:48
Jerry Jones wasn't as tough as Patty Jones.

34:48 --> 34:55
And then there's all my family this died of Agent Orange. She's all the loving gifts of the New World Order.

'''2018 01 07'''

01:14:04 --> 01:14:08
I was like eight years old, staying there one summer. And I said, yes. Patty Jones. She said, I'm going to have

01:14:18 --> 01:14:23
them cut that down. She said, he wrote some pretty tree son. It's not producing any plums.

'''August 15 2023'''
1:53:52.440 --> 1:53:56.520
school administrator and my grandmother really into education

1:54:00.040 --> 1:54:09.320
patty jones and she and put him in all these science fairs and contests and kept winning him

1:54:10.760 --> 1:54:16.200
and at 14 union carbide says out of Houston

'''March 10 2024'''

1:38:45.000 --> 1:39:05.000
I just realized that youth is wasted on the youth because I would love to know Patty Jones today. She died 19 years ago and my other grandmother was just as amazing but it would take all the time to talk about Benny Grace Hammond.

1:39:05.000 --> 1:39:17.000
But that's what I grew up seeing in women and then they were super charged they came in the room you felt their presence they were alive.

===Clyde Hammond Jr===
'''Maternal Grandfather'''

[https://gw.geneanet.org/tdowling?n=hamman&oc=&p=clyde+william Geneanet]

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/LT5J-1LS/clyde-william-hamman-jr.-1923-2002 Family Search]

'''2014 01 22'''

57:23 --> 57:35
By the way my grandfather William Hammond was an inventor.

57:35 --> 57:51
From the time he was a teenager because he lives next door to a German American who was a famous holder of patents on refrigeration and air conditioning so that's how he got the bug to build.

'''2013 07 31'''

01:39:38 --> 01:39:42
So I know Hitler was bad because I was told about it by my grandfather, okay?

01:39:42 --> 01:39:44
William Hammond.

'''2008 09 03'''

11:04 --> 11:11
And so my grandfather was in this community being German, William Hammond.

11:11 --> 11:14
And I remember hearing those stories around the breakfast table when I was visiting

'' The following attests to the William Gresham, Clyde's grandfather''

'''2017 05 21'''

14:39 --> 14:42
He is America's vibrant stock market.

14:42 --> 14:47
While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.

'''2016 04 05'''

30:09 --> 30:15
you had your bets. And then on the interesting story on the ''Gresham side of my mom's family'' ...

'''2015 04 26'''

01:03:46 --> 01:03:51
almost my grandfather's grandfather. Up in temple he was an advertising guy on the temple newspaper

01:03:51 --> 01:04:02
and a couple others and William Gresham. He would go into the drugstore and they had

01:04:02 --> 01:04:06
serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35 --> 02:03:41
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name ...

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:20 --> 02:03:26
But my great great great grandfather was one of the first cocaine dealers in the United States

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

===Bennie Grayce Pope===
'''Maternal Grandmother'''

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/tree/person/LT5V-38W Family Search]

'''2017 02 13'''

02:35:10 --> 02:35:11
You know what?

02:35:11 --> 02:35:16
I'm going to check that and make sure that Benny Grace Hammond does not vote Democrat.

'''2018 01 11'''

02:17:37 --> 02:17:40
just died last year. Benny Grace Hammond.

02:17:42 --> 02:17:47
She, during the whole polio outbreak, went and got her first polio shot

'''2018 12 13'''

14:07 --> 14:16

told her, oh, she was there in the hospital room with the iron lung, told her, yes,

14:16 --> 14:20
Benny Grace Hammond, you got it for you.

14:20 --> 14:23
You have the strain from the vaccine.

'''2015 05 08'''
01:07:04.280 --> 01:07:10.360
My grandmother had had one vaccine for the polio.

01:07:10.360 --> 01:07:15.720
Then they said, Benny, this is in 1951, my mother was five years old, four years old,

01:07:15.720 --> 01:07:18.600
my uncle was 10.

'''2017 09 19'''

01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:38.000
So the truth is vaccines are spreading disease. It's not that I don't believe in the science. I don't believe in big pharma caught doing medical experiments caught doing sterile into the vaccines you name it cancer viruses. Look it up.

01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:51.000
SV 40 and more. My grandmother was told she got polio. The second shot she got for a new strain live polio. They said Ms. Hammond. You got polio. She just died this year.

01:02:51.000 --> 01:03:06.000
She couldn't walk. She was in a wheelchair. Rest of her life. This is my mom was five years old. They told her Ms. Hammond. You got polio from the vaccine. Her doctor told her back in the 1950s. So here is Carol J. Baker. Then we're going to our guest.

=== William Hammond===
'''Uncle, father of Buckley'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/122873641/william-forrest-hamman Find a grave]

'''2013 12 23'''

01:59:18 --> 01:59:28
His name is William Forest Hammond, not the William Hammond. It was a fake pilot or something. I was googling that the other night and saw some other William Hammond.

01:59:28 --> 01:59:34
So it's not that William Hammond. But certainly pray, pray for him.

01:59:34 --> 01:59:42
All that comes up from uncles and LSU was at football player and track team. And that is the right William Hammond back.

I think in 1964 where he went to Vietnam. But I'm going to go see him. And I meant to call my dad during that break.

'''2013 12 18'''

02:22:50 --> 02:22:53

02:22:53 --> 02:23:00

02:23:00 --> 02:23:07
pray for him out in East Texas he's in a good hospital in Tyler

02:17:34 --> 02:17:40

02:17:40 --> 02:17:46
and he wasn't at a whole nine yards but it killed his son a few weeks ago went to his funeral

'''2014 01 03'''

02:35 --> 02:40
My uncle did pass today at about 3 30 a.m. and the reason I mentioned it is a lot of you prayed for him and I appreciate he was a great guy.

02:42 --> 02:46
One of the people that was instrumental in helping wake me up to how the world really worked.

02:47 --> 02:54
68 years old, a Vietnam helicopter pilot veteran, just a great patriot and one of the best men I've ever known, you say he's a good guy, he's a sweet person, he's a smart person.

03:01 --> 03:05
You literally, that's the only thing that comes to mind when you talk about my uncle,

03:05 --> 03:07
William Forest, Hammond.

'''2014 01 17'''

01:28:03 --> 01:28:10
it was my uncle, William Farris Hammond, who recommended that song about 10 years ago for the show,

01:28:10 --> 01:28:17
sundown on the union. And of course, he died a few weeks ago. I just always remember him.

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T17:23:41Z

SuperAdmin: /* Clyde Hammond Jr */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.

Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio.

Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin.

Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

He had been in World War II in some of the same squadrons with ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones''.

'''2014 01 06'''

01:53:39 --> 01:53:41
Great guy out in East Texas. I was thinking about ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones'' ...

'''2017 09 26'''

01:58:03 --> 01:58:08
''That was my grandfather's name, Jerry Jones'', a very shameful person that smile, that little smirk on his face.

===Patty Jones (Johnson)===
'''Paternal Grandmother'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846935/patricia_louise-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 10 21'''

21:22 --> 21:30
And I remember my father's mother, my grandmother, Patty Jones.

21:30 --> 21:36
She had been sick for several years but was getting up and walking around and was fine

'''2014 03 17'''

34:36 --> 34:43
My grandfather while he died a lung cancer in just a few months.

34:43 --> 34:48
Jerry Jones wasn't as tough as Patty Jones.

34:48 --> 34:55
And then there's all my family this died of Agent Orange. She's all the loving gifts of the New World Order.

'''2018 01 07'''

01:14:04 --> 01:14:08
I was like eight years old, staying there one summer. And I said, yes. Patty Jones. She said, I'm going to have

01:14:18 --> 01:14:23
them cut that down. She said, he wrote some pretty tree son. It's not producing any plums.

1:39:05.000 --> 1:39:17.000
But that's what I grew up seeing in women and then they were super charged they came in the room you felt their presence they were alive.

===Clyde Hammond Jr===
'''Maternal Grandfather'''

'''2014 01 22'''

57:23 --> 57:35
By the way my grandfather William Hammond was an inventor.

57:35 --> 57:51
From the time he was a teenager because he lives next door to a German American who was a famous holder of patents on refrigeration and air conditioning so that's how he got the bug to build.

'''2013 07 31'''

01:39:38 --> 01:39:42
So I know Hitler was bad because I was told about it by my grandfather, okay?

01:39:42 --> 01:39:44
William Hammond.

'''2008 09 03'''

11:04 --> 11:11
And so my grandfather was in this community being German, William Hammond.

11:11 --> 11:14
And I remember hearing those stories around the breakfast table when I was visiting

'' The following attests to the William Gresham, Clyde's grandfather''

'''2017 05 21'''

14:39 --> 14:42
He is America's vibrant stock market.

14:42 --> 14:47
While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.

'''2016 04 05'''

30:09 --> 30:15
you had your bets. And then on the interesting story on the ''Gresham side of my mom's family'' ...

'''2015 04 26'''

01:03:46 --> 01:03:51
almost my grandfather's grandfather. Up in temple he was an advertising guy on the temple newspaper

01:03:51 --> 01:04:02
and a couple others and William Gresham. He would go into the drugstore and they had

01:04:02 --> 01:04:06
serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35 --> 02:03:41
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name ...

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:20 --> 02:03:26
But my great great great grandfather was one of the first cocaine dealers in the United States

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

===Bennie Grayce Pope===
'''Maternal Grandmother'''

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/tree/person/LT5V-38W Family Search]

'''2017 02 13'''

02:35:10 --> 02:35:11
You know what?

02:35:11 --> 02:35:16
I'm going to check that and make sure that Benny Grace Hammond does not vote Democrat.

'''2018 01 11'''

02:17:37 --> 02:17:40
just died last year. Benny Grace Hammond.

02:17:42 --> 02:17:47
She, during the whole polio outbreak, went and got her first polio shot

'''2018 12 13'''

14:07 --> 14:16

told her, oh, she was there in the hospital room with the iron lung, told her, yes,

14:16 --> 14:20
Benny Grace Hammond, you got it for you.

14:20 --> 14:23
You have the strain from the vaccine.

'''2015 05 08'''
01:07:04.280 --> 01:07:10.360
My grandmother had had one vaccine for the polio.

01:07:10.360 --> 01:07:15.720
Then they said, Benny, this is in 1951, my mother was five years old, four years old,

01:07:15.720 --> 01:07:18.600
my uncle was 10.

'''2017 09 19'''

01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:38.000
So the truth is vaccines are spreading disease. It's not that I don't believe in the science. I don't believe in big pharma caught doing medical experiments caught doing sterile into the vaccines you name it cancer viruses. Look it up.

01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:51.000
SV 40 and more. My grandmother was told she got polio. The second shot she got for a new strain live polio. They said Ms. Hammond. You got polio. She just died this year.

01:02:51.000 --> 01:03:06.000
She couldn't walk. She was in a wheelchair. Rest of her life. This is my mom was five years old. They told her Ms. Hammond. You got polio from the vaccine. Her doctor told her back in the 1950s. So here is Carol J. Baker. Then we're going to our guest.

=== William Hammond===
'''Uncle, father of Buckley'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/122873641/william-forrest-hamman Find a grave]

'''2013 12 23'''

01:59:18 --> 01:59:28
His name is William Forest Hammond, not the William Hammond. It was a fake pilot or something. I was googling that the other night and saw some other William Hammond.

01:59:28 --> 01:59:34
So it's not that William Hammond. But certainly pray, pray for him.

01:59:34 --> 01:59:42
All that comes up from uncles and LSU was at football player and track team. And that is the right William Hammond back.

I think in 1964 where he went to Vietnam. But I'm going to go see him. And I meant to call my dad during that break.

'''2013 12 18'''

02:22:50 --> 02:22:53
and because I really love my uncle you know he's one of the people that helped wake me up with

02:22:53 --> 02:23:00
the new world order he's actually called in on the show up of the years William Hammond and just

02:23:00 --> 02:23:07
pray for him out in East Texas he's in a good hospital in Tyler

'''2013 12 18'''

02:17:29.840 --> 02:17:34
spelled all over it when it's a triple threat I've had family that's died people that are almost

02:17:34 --> 02:17:40
died sicknesses police pray for my uncle William Hammond folks because he's as strong as a horse

02:17:40 --> 02:17:46
and he wasn't at a whole nine yards but it killed his son a few weeks ago went to his funeral

'''2014 01 03'''

02:35 --> 02:40
My uncle did pass today at about 3 30 a.m. and the reason I mentioned it is a lot of you prayed for him and I appreciate he was a great guy.

02:42 --> 02:46
One of the people that was instrumental in helping wake me up to how the world really worked.

02:47 --> 02:54
68 years old, a Vietnam helicopter pilot veteran, just a great patriot and one of the best men I've ever known, you say he's a good guy, he's a sweet person, he's a smart person.

03:01 --> 03:05
You literally, that's the only thing that comes to mind when you talk about my uncle,

03:05 --> 03:07
William Forest, Hammond.

'''2014 01 17'''

01:28:03 --> 01:28:10
it was my uncle, William Farris Hammond, who recommended that song about 10 years ago for the show,

01:28:10 --> 01:28:17
sundown on the union. And of course, he died a few weeks ago. I just always remember him.

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T17:22:40Z

SuperAdmin: /* Patty Jones (Johnson) */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

From the time he was a teenager because he lives next door to a German American who was a famous holder of patents on refrigeration and air conditioning so that's how he got the bug to build.

'''2013 07 31'''

01:39:38 --> 01:39:42
So I know Hitler was bad because I was told about it by my grandfather, okay?

01:39:42 --> 01:39:44
William Hammond.

'''2008 09 03'''

11:04 --> 11:11
And so my grandfather was in this community being German, William Hammond.

11:11 --> 11:14
And I remember hearing those stories around the breakfast table when I was visiting

'' The following attests to the William Gresham, Clyde's grandfather''

'''2017 05 21'''

14:39 --> 14:42
He is America's vibrant stock market.

14:42 --> 14:47
While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.

'''2016 04 05'''

30:09 --> 30:15
you had your bets. And then on the interesting story on the ''Gresham side of my mom's family'' ...

01:03:46 --> 01:03:51
almost my grandfather's grandfather. Up in temple he was an advertising guy on the temple newspaper

01:03:51 --> 01:04:02
and a couple others and William Gresham. He would go into the drugstore and they had

01:04:02 --> 01:04:06
serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35 --> 02:03:41
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name ...

2019 09 05
02:03:20.920 --> 02:03:26.600
But my great great great grandfather was one of the first cocaine dealers in the United States

02:03:27.240 --> 02:03:29.720
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

She, during the whole polio outbreak, went and got her first polio shot

'''2018 12 13'''

14:07 --> 14:16

told her, oh, she was there in the hospital room with the iron lung, told her, yes,

14:16 --> 14:20
Benny Grace Hammond, you got it for you.

You have the strain from the vaccine.

'''2015 05 08'''

My grandmother had had one vaccine for the polio.

01:07:10.360 --> 01:07:15.720
Then they said, Benny, this is in 1951, my mother was five years old, four years old,

01:07:15.720 --> 01:07:18.600
my uncle was 10.

01:59:28 --> 01:59:34
So it's not that William Hammond. But certainly pray, pray for him.

01:59:34 --> 01:59:42
All that comes up from uncles and LSU was at football player and track team. And that is the right William Hammond back.

I think in 1964 where he went to Vietnam. But I'm going to go see him. And I meant to call my dad during that break.

02:35 --> 02:40
My uncle did pass today at about 3 30 a.m. and the reason I mentioned it is a lot of you prayed for him and I appreciate he was a great guy.

02:42 --> 02:46
One of the people that was instrumental in helping wake me up to how the world really worked.

68 years old, a Vietnam helicopter pilot veteran, just a great patriot and one of the best men I've ever known, you say he's a good guy, he's a sweet person, he's a smart person.

03:01 --> 03:05
You literally, that's the only thing that comes to mind when you talk about my uncle,

03:05 --> 03:07
William Forest, Hammond.

'''2014 01 17'''

01:28:03 --> 01:28:10

sundown on the union. And of course, he died a few weeks ago. I just always remember him.

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T17:19:04Z

SuperAdmin: /* Patty Jones (Johnson) */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

[[File:Possible Jones Family Tree.png|thumb]]

===Jerry Jones===
'''Paternal Grandfather'''

01:32:40 --> 01:32:47
He had been in World War II in some of the same squadrons with ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones''.

'''2014 01 06'''

01:53:39 --> 01:53:41
Great guy out in East Texas. I was thinking about ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones'' ...

'''2017 09 26'''

01:58:03 --> 01:58:08
''That was my grandfather's name, Jerry Jones'', a very shameful person that smile, that little smirk on his face.

===Patty Jones (Johnson)===
'''Paternal Grandmother'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846935/patricia_louise-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 10 21'''

21:22 --> 21:30
And I remember my father's mother, my grandmother, Patty Jones.

21:30 --> 21:36
She had been sick for several years but was getting up and walking around and was fine

'''2014 03 17'''

34:36 --> 34:43
My grandfather while he died a lung cancer in just a few months.

34:43 --> 34:48
Jerry Jones wasn't as tough as Patty Jones.

34:48 --> 34:55
And then there's all my family this died of Agent Orange. She's all the loving gifts of the New World Order.

'''2018 01 07'''

01:14:04 --> 01:14:08
I was like eight years old, staying there one summer. And I said, yes. Patty Jones. She said, I'm going to have

01:14:18 --> 01:14:23
them cut that down. She said, he wrote some pretty tree son. It's not producing any plums.

'''August 15 2023'''
1:53:52.440 --> 1:53:56.520
school administrator and my grandmother really into education

1:54:10.760 --> 1:54:16.200
and at 14 union carbide says out of Houston

'''March 10 2024'''

1:38:45.000 --> 1:39:05.000
I just realized that youth is wasted on the youth because I would love to know Patty Jones today. She died 19 years ago and mother grandmother was just as amazing but it would take all the time to talk about many grace hammock.

1:39:05.000 --> 1:39:17.000
But that's what I grew up seeing in women and then they were super charged they came in the room you felt their presence they were alive.

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T17:14:35Z

SuperAdmin: /* Bennie Grayce Pope */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

[[File:Possible Jones Family Tree.png|thumb]]

===Jerry Jones===
'''Paternal Grandfather'''

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/G7SP-TJP/jerry-jones-1922-1980 Family Search]

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846973/jerry-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 06 03'''

01:32:40 --> 01:32:47
He had been in World War II in some of the same squadrons with ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones''.

'''2014 01 06'''

01:53:39 --> 01:53:41
Great guy out in East Texas. I was thinking about ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones'' ...

'''2017 09 26'''

01:58:03 --> 01:58:08
''That was my grandfather's name, Jerry Jones'', a very shameful person that smile, that little smirk on his face.

===Patty Jones (Johnson)===
'''Paternal Grandmother'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846935/patricia_louise-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 10 21'''

21:22 --> 21:30
And I remember my father's mother, my grandmother, Patty Jones.

21:30 --> 21:36
She had been sick for several years but was getting up and walking around and was fine

'''2014 03 17'''

34:36 --> 34:43
My grandfather while he died a lung cancer in just a few months.

34:43 --> 34:48
Jerry Jones wasn't as tough as Patty Jones.

34:48 --> 34:55
And then there's all my family this died of Agent Orange. She's all the loving gifts of the New World Order.

'''2018 01 07'''

01:14:04 --> 01:14:08
I was like eight years old, staying there one summer. And I said, yes. Patty Jones. She said, I'm going to have

01:14:18 --> 01:14:23
them cut that down. She said, he wrote some pretty tree son. It's not producing any plums.

===Clyde Hammond Jr===
'''Maternal Grandfather'''

[https://gw.geneanet.org/tdowling?n=hamman&oc=&p=clyde+william Geneanet]

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/LT5J-1LS/clyde-william-hamman-jr.-1923-2002 Family Search]

'''2014 01 22'''

57:23 --> 57:35
By the way my grandfather William Hammond was an inventor.

57:35 --> 57:51
From the time he was a teenager because he lives next door to a German American who was a famous holder of patents on refrigeration and air conditioning so that's how he got the bug to build.

'''2013 07 31'''

01:39:38 --> 01:39:42
So I know Hitler was bad because I was told about it by my grandfather, okay?

01:39:42 --> 01:39:44
William Hammond.

'''2008 09 03'''

11:04 --> 11:11
And so my grandfather was in this community being German, William Hammond.

11:11 --> 11:14
And I remember hearing those stories around the breakfast table when I was visiting

'' The following attests to the William Gresham, Clyde's grandfather''

'''2017 05 21'''

14:39 --> 14:42
He is America's vibrant stock market.

14:42 --> 14:47
While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.

'''2016 04 05'''

30:09 --> 30:15
you had your bets. And then on the interesting story on the ''Gresham side of my mom's family'' ...

'''2015 04 26'''

01:03:46 --> 01:03:51
almost my grandfather's grandfather. Up in temple he was an advertising guy on the temple newspaper

01:03:51 --> 01:04:02
and a couple others and William Gresham. He would go into the drugstore and they had

01:04:02 --> 01:04:06
serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35 --> 02:03:41
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name ...

2019 09 05
02:03:20.920 --> 02:03:26.600
But my great great great grandfather was one of the first cocaine dealers in the United States

02:03:27.240 --> 02:03:29.720
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30.560 --> 02:03:34.960
Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

===Bennie Grayce Pope===
'''Maternal Grandmother'''

[https://ancestors.familysearch.org/tree/person/LT5V-38W Family Search]

'''2017 02 13'''

02:35:10 --> 02:35:11
You know what?

02:35:11 --> 02:35:16
I'm going to check that and make sure that Benny Grace Hammond does not vote Democrat.

'''2018 01 11'''

02:17:37 --> 02:17:40
just died last year. Benny Grace Hammond.

02:17:42 --> 02:17:47
She, during the whole polio outbreak, went and got her first polio shot

'''2018 12 13'''

14:07 --> 14:16

told her, oh, she was there in the hospital room with the iron lung, told her, yes,

14:16 --> 14:20
Benny Grace Hammond, you got it for you.

14:20 --> 14:23
You have the strain from the vaccine.

'''2015 05 08'''
01:07:04.280 --> 01:07:10.360
My grandmother had had one vaccine for the polio.

01:07:10.360 --> 01:07:15.720
Then they said, Benny, this is in 1951, my mother was five years old, four years old,

01:07:15.720 --> 01:07:18.600
my uncle was 10.

'''2017 09 19'''

01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:38.000
So the truth is vaccines are spreading disease. It's not that I don't believe in the science. I don't believe in big pharma caught doing medical experiments caught doing sterile into the vaccines you name it cancer viruses. Look it up.

01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:51.000
SV 40 and more. My grandmother was told she got polio. The second shot she got for a new strain live polio. They said Ms. Hammond. You got polio. She just died this year.

01:02:51.000 --> 01:03:06.000
She couldn't walk. She was in a wheelchair. Rest of her life. This is my mom was five years old. They told her Ms. Hammond. You got polio from the vaccine. Her doctor told her back in the 1950s. So here is Carol J. Baker. Then we're going to our guest.

=== William Hammond===
'''Uncle, father of Buckley'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/122873641/william-forrest-hamman Find a grave]

'''2013 12 23'''

01:59:18 --> 01:59:28
His name is William Forest Hammond, not the William Hammond. It was a fake pilot or something. I was googling that the other night and saw some other William Hammond.

01:59:28 --> 01:59:34
So it's not that William Hammond. But certainly pray, pray for him.

01:59:34 --> 01:59:42
All that comes up from uncles and LSU was at football player and track team. And that is the right William Hammond back.

I think in 1964 where he went to Vietnam. But I'm going to go see him. And I meant to call my dad during that break.

'''2013 12 18'''

02:22:50 --> 02:22:53
and because I really love my uncle you know he's one of the people that helped wake me up with

02:22:53 --> 02:23:00
the new world order he's actually called in on the show up of the years William Hammond and just

02:23:00 --> 02:23:07
pray for him out in East Texas he's in a good hospital in Tyler

'''2013 12 18'''

02:17:29.840 --> 02:17:34
spelled all over it when it's a triple threat I've had family that's died people that are almost

02:17:34 --> 02:17:40
died sicknesses police pray for my uncle William Hammond folks because he's as strong as a horse

02:17:40 --> 02:17:46
and he wasn't at a whole nine yards but it killed his son a few weeks ago went to his funeral

'''2014 01 03'''

02:35 --> 02:40
My uncle did pass today at about 3 30 a.m. and the reason I mentioned it is a lot of you prayed for him and I appreciate he was a great guy.

02:42 --> 02:46
One of the people that was instrumental in helping wake me up to how the world really worked.

02:47 --> 02:54
68 years old, a Vietnam helicopter pilot veteran, just a great patriot and one of the best men I've ever known, you say he's a good guy, he's a sweet person, he's a smart person.

03:01 --> 03:05
You literally, that's the only thing that comes to mind when you talk about my uncle,

03:05 --> 03:07
William Forest, Hammond.

'''2014 01 17'''

01:28:03 --> 01:28:10
it was my uncle, William Farris Hammond, who recommended that song about 10 years ago for the show,

01:28:10 --> 01:28:17
sundown on the union. And of course, he died a few weeks ago. I just always remember him.

His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T17:04:50Z

SuperAdmin: /* Clyde Hammond Jr */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last.

Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]].

And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign.

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T16:59:42Z

SuperAdmin: /* William Hammond */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

[[File:Possible Jones Family Tree.png|thumb]]

===Jerry Jones===
'''Paternal Grandfather'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846973/jerry-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 06 03'''

01:32:40 --> 01:32:47
He had been in World War II in some of the same squadrons with ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones''.

'''2014 01 06'''

01:53:39 --> 01:53:41
Great guy out in East Texas. I was thinking about ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones'' ...

'''2017 09 26'''

01:58:03 --> 01:58:08
''That was my grandfather's name, Jerry Jones'', a very shameful person that smile, that little smirk on his face.

===Patty Jones (Johnson)===
'''Paternal Grandmother'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846935/patricia_louise-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 10 21'''

21:22 --> 21:30
And I remember my father's mother, my grandmother, Patty Jones.

21:30 --> 21:36
She had been sick for several years but was getting up and walking around and was fine

'''2014 03 17'''

34:36 --> 34:43
My grandfather while he died a lung cancer in just a few months.

34:43 --> 34:48
Jerry Jones wasn't as tough as Patty Jones.

34:48 --> 34:55
And then there's all my family this died of Agent Orange. She's all the loving gifts of the New World Order.

'''2018 01 07'''

01:14:04 --> 01:14:08
I was like eight years old, staying there one summer. And I said, yes. Patty Jones. She said, I'm going to have

01:14:18 --> 01:14:23
them cut that down. She said, he wrote some pretty tree son. It's not producing any plums.

===Clyde Hammond Jr===
'''Maternal Grandfather'''

'''2014 01 22'''

57:23 --> 57:35
By the way my grandfather William Hammond was an inventor.

57:35 --> 57:51
From the time he was a teenager because he lives next door to a German American who was a famous holder of patents on refrigeration and air conditioning so that's how he got the bug to build.

'''2013 07 31'''

01:39:38 --> 01:39:42
So I know Hitler was bad because I was told about it by my grandfather, okay?

01:39:42 --> 01:39:44
William Hammond.

'''2008 09 03'''

11:04 --> 11:11
And so my grandfather was in this community being German, William Hammond.

11:11 --> 11:14
And I remember hearing those stories around the breakfast table when I was visiting

'' The following attests to the William Gresham, Clyde's grandfather''

'''2017 05 21'''

14:39 --> 14:42
He is America's vibrant stock market.

01:04:02 --> 01:04:06
serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35 --> 02:03:41

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

Alex Jones

SuperAdmin: /* Genealogy */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport.

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T16:43:25Z

SuperAdmin: /* Genealogy */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

[[File:Possible Jones Family Tree|thumb|alt=Possible Jones Family Tree|Possible Jones Family Tree]]

===Jerry Jones===
'''Paternal Grandfather'''

By the way my grandfather William Hammond was an inventor.

'' The following attests to the William Gresham, Clyde's grandfather''

'''2017 05 21'''

14:39 --> 14:42
He is America's vibrant stock market.

14:42 --> 14:47
While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.

01:03:46 --> 01:03:51
almost my grandfather's grandfather. Up in temple he was an advertising guy on the temple newspaper

01:03:51 --> 01:04:02
and a couple others and William Gresham. He would go into the drugstore and they had

01:04:02 --> 01:04:06
serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34

In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T16:41:33Z

SuperAdmin: /* Clyde Hammond Jr */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>.

Alex Jones

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

He had been in World War II in some of the same squadrons with ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones''.

'''2014 01 06'''

01:53:39 --> 01:53:41
Great guy out in East Texas. I was thinking about ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones'' ...

'''2017 09 26'''

01:58:03 --> 01:58:08
''That was my grandfather's name, Jerry Jones'', a very shameful person that smile, that little smirk on his face.

===Patty Jones (Johnson)===
'''Paternal Grandmother'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846935/patricia_louise-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 10 21'''

21:22 --> 21:30

21:30 --> 21:36
She had been sick for several years but was getting up and walking around and was fine

'''2014 03 17'''

34:36 --> 34:43
My grandfather while he died a lung cancer in just a few months.

34:43 --> 34:48
Jerry Jones wasn't as tough as Patty Jones.

34:48 --> 34:55
And then there's all my family this died of Agent Orange. She's all the loving gifts of the New World Order.

'''2018 01 07'''

01:14:04 --> 01:14:08
I was like eight years old, staying there one summer. And I said, yes. Patty Jones. She said, I'm going to have

01:14:18 --> 01:14:23
them cut that down. She said, he wrote some pretty tree son. It's not producing any plums.

===Clyde Hammond Jr===
'''Maternal Grandfather'''

'''2014 01 22'''

57:23 --> 57:35
By the way my grandfather William Hammond was an inventor.

57:35 --> 57:51
From the time he was a teenager because he lives next door to a German American who was a famous holder of patents on refrigeration and air conditioning so that's how he got the bug to build.

'''2013 07 31'''

01:39:38 --> 01:39:42
So I know Hitler was bad because I was told about it by my grandfather, okay?

01:39:42 --> 01:39:44
William Hammond.

'''2008 09 03'''

11:04 --> 11:11
And so my grandfather was in this community being German, William Hammond.

11:11 --> 11:14
And I remember hearing those stories around the breakfast table when I was visiting

===Margaret Gresham===
'''Maternal Grandmother'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/193961111/margaret%20francis-hamman%20gibson Find a grave]

'''2017 05 21'''

14:39 --> 14:42
He is America's vibrant stock market.

14:42 --> 14:47
While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.

'''2016 04 05'''

30:09 --> 30:15
you had your bets. And then on the interesting story on the ''Gresham side of my mom's family'' ...

'''2015 04 26'''

01:03:46 --> 01:03:51
almost my grandfather's grandfather. Up in temple he was an advertising guy on the temple newspaper

01:03:51 --> 01:04:02
and a couple others and William Gresham. He would go into the drugstore and they had

01:04:02 --> 01:04:06
serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35 --> 02:03:41
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name ...

=== William Hammond===
'''Uncle'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/122873641/william-forrest-hamman Find a grave]

'''2013 12 23'''

01:59:18 --> 01:59:28
His name is William Forest Hammond, not the William Hammond. It was a fake pilot or something. I was googling that the other night and saw some other William Hammond.

01:59:28 --> 01:59:34
So it's not that William Hammond. But certainly pray, pray for him.

01:59:34 --> 01:59:42
All that comes up from uncles and LSU was at football player and track team. And that is the right William Hammond back.

I think in 1964 where he went to Vietnam. But I'm going to go see him. And I meant to call my dad during that break.

'''2013 12 18'''

02:22:50 --> 02:22:53
and because I really love my uncle you know he's one of the people that helped wake me up with

02:22:53 --> 02:23:00
the new world order he's actually called in on the show up of the years William Hammond and just

02:23:00 --> 02:23:07
pray for him out in East Texas he's in a good hospital in Tyler

'''2013 12 18'''

02:17:29.840 --> 02:17:34
spelled all over it when it's a triple threat I've had family that's died people that are almost

02:17:34 --> 02:17:40
died sicknesses police pray for my uncle William Hammond folks because he's as strong as a horse

02:17:40 --> 02:17:46
and he wasn't at a whole nine yards but it killed his son a few weeks ago went to his funeral

'''2014 01 03'''

02:35 --> 02:40
My uncle did pass today at about 3 30 a.m. and the reason I mentioned it is a lot of you prayed for him and I appreciate he was a great guy.

02:42 --> 02:46
One of the people that was instrumental in helping wake me up to how the world really worked.

02:47 --> 02:54
68 years old, a Vietnam helicopter pilot veteran, just a great patriot and one of the best men I've ever known, you say he's a good guy, he's a sweet person, he's a smart person.

03:01 --> 03:05
You literally, that's the only thing that comes to mind when you talk about my uncle,

03:05 --> 03:07
William Forest, Hammond.

'''2014 01 17'''

01:28:03 --> 01:28:10
it was my uncle, William Farris Hammond, who recommended that song about 10 years ago for the show,

01:28:10 --> 01:28:17
sundown on the union. And of course, he died a few weeks ago. I just always remember him.

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T16:29:30Z

SuperAdmin: /* Clyde Hammond */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

01:04:02 --> 01:04:06

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T16:23:02Z

SuperAdmin: /* Jerry Jones */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]].

This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued.

34:43 --> 34:48
Jerry Jones wasn't as tough as Patty Jones.

34:48 --> 34:55
And then there's all my family this died of Agent Orange. She's all the loving gifts of the New World Order.

'''2018 01 07'''

01:14:04 --> 01:14:08
I was like eight years old, staying there one summer. And I said, yes. Patty Jones. She said, I'm going to have

01:14:18 --> 01:14:23
them cut that down. She said, he wrote some pretty tree son. It's not producing any plums.

===Clyde Hammond===
'''Maternal Grandfather'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/193961077/clyde-william-hamman Find a grave]

'''2014 01 22'''

57:23 --> 57:35
By the way my grandfather William Hammond was an inventor.

57:35 --> 57:51
From the time he was a teenager because he lives next door to a German American who was a famous holder of patents on refrigeration and air conditioning so that's how he got the bug to build.

'''2013 07 31'''

01:39:38 --> 01:39:42
So I know Hitler was bad because I was told about it by my grandfather, okay?

01:39:42 --> 01:39:44
William Hammond.

'''2008 09 03'''

11:04 --> 11:11
And so my grandfather was in this community being German, William Hammond.

11:11 --> 11:14
And I remember hearing those stories around the breakfast table when I was visiting

===Margaret Gresham===
'''Maternal Grandmother'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/193961111/margaret%20francis-hamman%20gibson Find a grave]

'''2017 05 21'''

14:39 --> 14:42
He is America's vibrant stock market.

14:42 --> 14:47
While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.

'''2016 04 05'''

30:09 --> 30:15
you had your bets. And then on the interesting story on the ''Gresham side of my mom's family'' ...

'''2015 04 26'''

01:03:46 --> 01:03:51
almost my grandfather's grandfather. Up in temple he was an advertising guy on the temple newspaper

01:03:51 --> 01:04:02
and a couple others and William Gresham. He would go into the drugstore and they had

01:04:02 --> 01:04:06
serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:27 --> 02:03:29
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30 --> 02:03:34
Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35 --> 02:03:41
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name ...

=== William Hammond===
'''Uncle'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/122873641/william-forrest-hamman Find a grave]

'''2013 12 23'''

01:59:18 --> 01:59:28
His name is William Forest Hammond, not the William Hammond. It was a fake pilot or something. I was googling that the other night and saw some other William Hammond.

01:59:28 --> 01:59:34
So it's not that William Hammond. But certainly pray, pray for him.

01:59:34 --> 01:59:42
All that comes up from uncles and LSU was at football player and track team. And that is the right William Hammond back.

I think in 1964 where he went to Vietnam. But I'm going to go see him. And I meant to call my dad during that break.

'''2013 12 18'''

02:22:50 --> 02:22:53

02:22:53 --> 02:23:00

02:23:00 --> 02:23:07
pray for him out in East Texas he's in a good hospital in Tyler

'''2013 12 18'''

02:17:29.840 --> 02:17:34
spelled all over it when it's a triple threat I've had family that's died people that are almost

02:17:34 --> 02:17:40
died sicknesses police pray for my uncle William Hammond folks because he's as strong as a horse

02:17:40 --> 02:17:46
and he wasn't at a whole nine yards but it killed his son a few weeks ago went to his funeral

'''2014 01 03'''

02:35 --> 02:40
My uncle did pass today at about 3 30 a.m. and the reason I mentioned it is a lot of you prayed for him and I appreciate he was a great guy.

02:42 --> 02:46
One of the people that was instrumental in helping wake me up to how the world really worked.

02:47 --> 02:54
68 years old, a Vietnam helicopter pilot veteran, just a great patriot and one of the best men I've ever known, you say he's a good guy, he's a sweet person, he's a smart person.

03:01 --> 03:05
You literally, that's the only thing that comes to mind when you talk about my uncle,

03:05 --> 03:07
William Forest, Hammond.

'''2014 01 17'''

01:28:03 --> 01:28:10
it was my uncle, William Farris Hammond, who recommended that song about 10 years ago for the show,

01:28:10 --> 01:28:17
sundown on the union. And of course, he died a few weeks ago. I just always remember him.

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T16:13:52Z

SuperAdmin: /* Genealogy */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last.

This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

She had been sick for several years but was getting up and walking around and was fine

'''2014 03 17'''

34:36.000 --> 34:43.000
My grandfather while he died a lung cancer in just a few months.

34:43.000 --> 34:48.000
Jerry Jones wasn't as tough as Patty Jones.

34:48.000 --> 34:55.000
And then there's all my family this died of Agent Orange. She's all the loving gifts of the New World Order.

'''2018 01 07'''

01:14:04.000 --> 01:14:08.800
I was like eight years old, staying there one summer. And I said, yes. Patty Jones. She said, I'm going to have

01:14:18.400 --> 01:14:23.520
them cut that down. She said, he wrote some pretty tree son. It's not producing any plums.

===Clyde Hammond===
'''Maternal Grandfather'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/193961077/clyde-william-hamman Find a grave]

'''2014 01 22'''

57:23.000 --> 57:35.000
By the way my grandfather William Hammond was an inventor.

57:35.000 --> 57:51.000
From the time he was a teenager because he lives next door to a German American who was a famous holder of patents on refrigeration and air conditioning so that's how he got the bug to build.

'''2013 07 31'''

01:39:38.000 --> 01:39:42.960
So I know Hitler was bad because I was told about it by my grandfather, okay?

01:39:42.960 --> 01:39:44.240
William Hammond.

'''2008 09 03'''

11:04.560 --> 11:11.560
And so my grandfather was in this community being German, William Hammond.

11:11.560 --> 11:14.600
And I remember hearing those stories around the breakfast table when I was visiting

===Margaret Gresham===
'''Maternal Grandmother'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/193961111/margaret%20francis-hamman%20gibson Find a grave]

'''2017 05 21'''

14:39.860 --> 14:42.940
He is America's vibrant stock market.

14:42.940 --> 14:47.100
While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.

'''2016 04 05'''

30:09.000 --> 30:15.040
you had your bets. And then on the interesting story on the ''Gresham side of my mom's family'' ...

'''2015 04 26'''

01:03:46.080 --> 01:03:51.680
almost my grandfather's grandfather. Up in temple he was an advertising guy on the temple newspaper

01:03:51.680 --> 01:04:02.560
and a couple others and William Gresham. He would go into the drugstore and they had

01:04:02.560 --> 01:04:06.800
serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:27.240 --> 02:03:29.720
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30.560 --> 02:03:34.960
Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35.160 --> 02:03:41.440
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name ...

=== William Hammond===
'''Uncle'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/122873641/william-forrest-hamman Find a grave]

'''2013 12 23'''

01:59:18.300 --> 01:59:28.300
His name is William Forest Hammond, not the William Hammond. It was a fake pilot or something. I was googling that the other night and saw some other William Hammond.

01:59:28.300 --> 01:59:34.300
So it's not that William Hammond. But certainly pray, pray for him.

01:59:34.300 --> 01:59:42.300
All that comes up from uncles and LSU was at football player and track team. And that is the right William Hammond back.

I think in 1964 where he went to Vietnam. But I'm going to go see him. And I meant to call my dad during that break.

'''2013 12 18'''

02:22:50.160 --> 02:22:53.760
and because I really love my uncle you know he's one of the people that helped wake me up with

02:22:53.760 --> 02:23:00.240

spelled all over it when it's a triple threat I've had family that's died people that are almost

02:17:34.160 --> 02:17:40.240

02:17:40.240 --> 02:17:46.160
and he wasn't at a whole nine yards but it killed his son a few weeks ago went to his funeral

'''2014 01 03'''

02:35.300 --> 02:40.620
My uncle did pass today at about 3 30 a.m. and the reason I mentioned it is a lot of you prayed for him and I appreciate he was a great guy.

02:42.700 --> 02:46.940
One of the people that was instrumental in helping wake me up to how the world really worked.

02:47.940 --> 02:54.980
68 years old, a Vietnam helicopter pilot veteran, just a great patriot and one of the best men I've ever known, you say he's a good guy, he's a sweet person, he's a smart person.

03:01.820 --> 03:05.620
You literally, that's the only thing that comes to mind when you talk about my uncle,

03:05.620 --> 03:07.380
William Forest, Hammond.

'''2014 01 17'''

01:28:03.920 --> 01:28:10.480
it was my uncle, William Farris Hammond, who recommended that song about 10 years ago for the show,

01:28:10.480 --> 01:28:17.520
sundown on the union. And of course, he died a few weeks ago. I just always remember him.

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T16:05:25Z

SuperAdmin: /* Genealogy */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.

01:39:38.000 --> 01:39:42.960
So I know Hitler was bad because I was told about it by my grandfather, okay?

01:39:42.960 --> 01:39:44.240
William Hammond.

'''2008 09 03'''

11:04.560 --> 11:11.560
And so my grandfather was in this community being German, William Hammond.

11:11.560 --> 11:14.600
And I remember hearing those stories around the breakfast table when I was visiting

===Margaret Gresham===
'''Maternal Grandmother'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/193961111/margaret%20francis-hamman%20gibson Find a grave]

'''2017 05 21'''

14:39.860 --> 14:42.940
He is America's vibrant stock market.

14:42.940 --> 14:47.100
While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.

'''2016 04 05'''

30:09.000 --> 30:15.040
you had your bets. And then on the interesting story on the ''Gresham side of my mom's family'' ...

'''2015 04 26'''

01:03:46.080 --> 01:03:51.680
almost my grandfather's grandfather. Up in temple he was an advertising guy on the temple newspaper

01:03:51.680 --> 01:04:02.560
and a couple others and William Gresham. He would go into the drugstore and they had

01:04:02.560 --> 01:04:06.800
serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:27.240 --> 02:03:29.720
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30.560 --> 02:03:34.960
Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35.160 --> 02:03:41.440
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name ...

=== William Hammond===
'''Uncle'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/122873641/william-forrest-hamman Find a grave]

'''2013 12 23'''

01:59:18.300 --> 01:59:28.300
His name is William Forest Hammond, not the William Hammond. It was a fake pilot or something. I was googling that the other night and saw some other William Hammond.

01:59:28.300 --> 01:59:34.300
So it's not that William Hammond. But certainly pray, pray for him.

01:59:34.300 --> 01:59:42.300
All that comes up from uncles and LSU was at football player and track team. And that is the right William Hammond back.

I think in 1964 where he went to Vietnam. But I'm going to go see him. And I meant to call my dad during that break.

'''2013 12 18'''

02:22:50.160 --> 02:22:53.760
and because I really love my uncle you know he's one of the people that helped wake me up with

02:22:53.760 --> 02:23:00.240
the new world order he's actually called in on the show up of the years William Hammond and just

02:23:00.240 --> 02:23:07.440
pray for him out in East Texas he's in a good hospital in Tyler

'''2013 12 18'''

02:17:29.840 --> 02:17:34.160
spelled all over it when it's a triple threat I've had family that's died people that are almost

02:17:34.160 --> 02:17:40.240
died sicknesses police pray for my uncle William Hammond folks because he's as strong as a horse

02:17:40.240 --> 02:17:46.160
and he wasn't at a whole nine yards but it killed his son a few weeks ago went to his funeral

'''2014 01 03'''

02:35.300 --> 02:40.620
My uncle did pass today at about 3 30 a.m. and the reason I mentioned it is a lot of you prayed for him and I appreciate he was a great guy.

02:42.700 --> 02:46.940
One of the people that was instrumental in helping wake me up to how the world really worked.

02:47.940 --> 02:54.980
68 years old, a Vietnam helicopter pilot veteran, just a great patriot and one of the best men I've ever known, you say he's a good guy, he's a sweet person, he's a smart person.

03:01.820 --> 03:05.620
You literally, that's the only thing that comes to mind when you talk about my uncle,

03:05.620 --> 03:07.380
William Forest, Hammond.

'''2014 01 17'''

01:28:03.920 --> 01:28:10.480
it was my uncle, William Farris Hammond, who recommended that song about 10 years ago for the show,

01:28:10.480 --> 01:28:17.520
sundown on the union. And of course, he died a few weeks ago. I just always remember him.

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T16:04:43Z

SuperAdmin: /* William Hammond */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

[[File:Suspected Jones family tree.png|thumb|alt=Suspected Jones family tree|Suspected Jones family tree]]

===Jerry Jones===
'''Paternal Grandfather'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846973/jerry-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 06 03'''

01:32:40.840 --> 01:32:47.400
He had been in World War II in some of the same squadrons with ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones''.

'''2014 01 06'''

01:53:39.360 --> 01:53:41.280
Great guy out in East Texas. I was thinking about ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones'' ...

'''2017 09 26'''

01:58:03.280 --> 01:58:08.120
''That was my grandfather's name, Jerry Jones'', a very shameful person that smile, that little smirk on his face.

===Patty Jones (Johnson)===
'''Paternal Grandmother'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846935/patricia_louise-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 10 21'''
21:22.640 --> 21:30.600
And I remember my father's mother, my grandmother, Patty Jones.

21:30.600 --> 21:36.800
She had been sick for several years but was getting up and walking around and was fine

'''2014 03 17'''
34:36.000 --> 34:43.000
My grandfather while he died a lung cancer in just a few months.

34:43.000 --> 34:48.000
Jerry Jones wasn't as tough as Patty Jones.

34:48.000 --> 34:55.000
And then there's all my family this died of Agent Orange. She's all the loving gifts of the New World Order.

'''2018 01 07'''

01:14:04.000 --> 01:14:08.800
I was like eight years old, staying there one summer. And I said, yes. Patty Jones. She said, I'm going to have

01:14:18.400 --> 01:14:23.520
them cut that down. She said, he wrote some pretty tree son. It's not producing any plums.

===Margaret Gresham===
'''Maternal Grandmother'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/193961111/margaret%20francis-hamman%20gibson Find a grave]

'''2017 05 21'''

14:39.860 --> 14:42.940
He is America's vibrant stock market.

14:42.940 --> 14:47.100
While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.

2016 04 05

30:09.000 --> 30:15.040
you had your bets. And then on the interesting story on the ''Gresham side of my mom's family'' ...

'''2015 04 26'''

01:03:46.080 --> 01:03:51.680
almost my grandfather's grandfather. Up in temple he was an advertising guy on the temple newspaper

01:03:51.680 --> 01:04:02.560
and a couple others and William Gresham. He would go into the drugstore and they had

01:04:02.560 --> 01:04:06.800
serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:27.240 --> 02:03:29.720
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30.560 --> 02:03:34.960
Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35.160 --> 02:03:41.440
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name ...

===Clyde Hammond===
'''Maternal Grandfather'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/193961077/clyde-william-hamman Find a grave]

'''2014 01 22'''

57:23.000 --> 57:35.000
By the way my grandfather William Hammond was an inventor.

57:35.000 --> 57:51.000
From the time he was a teenager because he lives next door to a German American who was a famous holder of patents on refrigeration and air conditioning so that's how he got the bug to build.

'''2013 07 31'''

01:39:38.000 --> 01:39:42.960
So I know Hitler was bad because I was told about it by my grandfather, okay?

01:39:42.960 --> 01:39:44.240
William Hammond.

'''2008 09 03'''

11:04.560 --> 11:11.560

That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.

In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last.

This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

Great guy out in East Texas. I was thinking about ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones'' ...

'''2017 09 26'''

01:58:03.280 --> 01:58:08.120
''That was my grandfather's name, Jerry Jones'', a very shameful person that smile, that little smirk on his face.

===Patty Jones (Johnson)===
'''Paternal Grandmother'''

'''2009 10 21'''

And I remember my father's mother, my grandmother, Patty Jones.

21:30.600 --> 21:36.800
She had been sick for several years but was getting up and walking around and was fine

'''2014 03 17'''
34:36.000 --> 34:43.000
My grandfather while he died a lung cancer in just a few months.

34:43.000 --> 34:48.000
Jerry Jones wasn't as tough as Patty Jones.

34:48.000 --> 34:55.000
And then there's all my family this died of Agent Orange. She's all the loving gifts of the New World Order.

'''2018 01 07'''

01:14:04.000 --> 01:14:08.800
I was like eight years old, staying there one summer. And I said, yes. Patty Jones. She said, I'm going to have

01:14:18.400 --> 01:14:23.520
them cut that down. She said, he wrote some pretty tree son. It's not producing any plums.

===Margaret Gresham===
'''Maternal Grandmother'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/193961111/margaret%20francis-hamman%20gibson Find a grave]

'''2017 05 21'''

14:39.860 --> 14:42.940
He is America's vibrant stock market.

14:42.940 --> 14:47.100
While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.

2016 04 05

30:09.000 --> 30:15.040
you had your bets. And then on the interesting story on the ''Gresham side of my mom's family'' ...

'''2015 04 26'''

01:03:46.080 --> 01:03:51.680
almost my grandfather's grandfather. Up in temple he was an advertising guy on the temple newspaper

01:03:51.680 --> 01:04:02.560
and a couple others and William Gresham. He would go into the drugstore and they had

01:04:02.560 --> 01:04:06.800
serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:27.240 --> 02:03:29.720
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30.560 --> 02:03:34.960
Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35.160 --> 02:03:41.440
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name ...

===Clyde Hammond===
'''Maternal Grandfather'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/193961077/clyde-william-hamman Find a grave]

'''2014 01 22'''

57:23.000 --> 57:35.000
By the way my grandfather William Hammond was an inventor.

57:35.000 --> 57:51.000
From the time he was a teenager because he lives next door to a German American who was a famous holder of patents on refrigeration and air conditioning so that's how he got the bug to build.

'''2013 07 31'''

01:39:38.000 --> 01:39:42.960
So I know Hitler was bad because I was told about it by my grandfather, okay?

01:39:42.960 --> 01:39:44.240
William Hammond.

'''2008 09 03'''

11:04.560 --> 11:11.560
And so my grandfather was in this community being German, William Hammond.

11:11.560 --> 11:14.600
And I remember hearing those stories around the breakfast table when I was visiting

=== William Hammond===
Uncle of Alex Jones.
[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/122873641/william-forrest-hamman Find a grave]

'''2013 12 23'''

01:59:18.300 --> 01:59:28.300
His name is William Forest Hammond, not the William Hammond. It was a fake pilot or something. I was googling that the other night and saw some other William Hammond.

01:59:28.300 --> 01:59:34.300
So it's not that William Hammond. But certainly pray, pray for him.

01:59:34.300 --> 01:59:42.300
All that comes up from uncles and LSU was at football player and track team. And that is the right William Hammond back.

I think in 1964 where he went to Vietnam. But I'm going to go see him. And I meant to call my dad during that break.

'''2013 12 18'''

02:22:50.160 --> 02:22:53.760
and because I really love my uncle you know he's one of the people that helped wake me up with

02:22:53.760 --> 02:23:00.240
the new world order he's actually called in on the show up of the years William Hammond and just

02:23:00.240 --> 02:23:07.440

'''2013 12 18'''

02:17:29.840 --> 02:17:34.160
spelled all over it when it's a triple threat I've had family that's died people that are almost

02:17:34.160 --> 02:17:40.240

and he wasn't at a whole nine yards but it killed his son a few weeks ago went to his funeral

'''2014 01 03'''

02:35.300 --> 02:40.620
My uncle did pass today at about 3 30 a.m. and the reason I mentioned it is a lot of you prayed for him and I appreciate he was a great guy.

02:42.700 --> 02:46.940
One of the people that was instrumental in helping wake me up to how the world really worked.

02:47.940 --> 02:54.980
68 years old, a Vietnam helicopter pilot veteran, just a great patriot and one of the best men I've ever known, you say he's a good guy, he's a sweet person, he's a smart person.

03:01.820 --> 03:05.620
You literally, that's the only thing that comes to mind when you talk about my uncle,

03:05.620 --> 03:07.380
William Forest, Hammond.

'''2014 01 17'''

01:28:03.920 --> 01:28:10.480
it was my uncle, William Farris Hammond, who recommended that song about 10 years ago for the show,

01:28:10.480 --> 01:28:17.520
sundown on the union. And of course, he died a few weeks ago. I just always remember him.

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T16:04:09Z

SuperAdmin: /* Margaret Gresham */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T16:03:53Z

SuperAdmin: /* Patty Jones (Johnson) */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

[[File:Suspected Jones family tree.png|thumb|alt=Suspected Jones family tree|Suspected Jones family tree]]

===Jerry Jones===

'''2018 01 07'''

This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough, potential Jones family tree, pieced together from tidbits Alex has shared on the air and existing amateur genealogical research.

[[File:Suspected Jones family tree.png|thumb|alt=Suspected Jones family tree|Suspected Jones family tree]]

===Jerry Jones===
'''Paternal Grandfather'''

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846973/jerry-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 06 03'''

01:32:40.840 --> 01:32:47.400
He had been in World War II in some of the same squadrons with ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones''.

'''2014 01 06'''

01:53:39.360 --> 01:53:41.280
Great guy out in East Texas. I was thinking about ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones'' ...

'''2017 09 26'''

01:58:03.280 --> 01:58:08.120
''That was my grandfather's name, Jerry Jones'', a very shameful person that smile, that little smirk on his face.

===Patty Jones (Johnson)===

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846935/patricia_louise-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 10 21'''
21:22.640 --> 21:30.600
And I remember my father's mother, my grandmother, Patty Jones.

21:30.600 --> 21:36.800
She had been sick for several years but was getting up and walking around and was fine

'''2014 03 17'''
34:36.000 --> 34:43.000
My grandfather while he died a lung cancer in just a few months.

34:43.000 --> 34:48.000
Jerry Jones wasn't as tough as Patty Jones.

34:48.000 --> 34:55.000
And then there's all my family this died of Agent Orange. She's all the loving gifts of the New World Order.

'''2018 01 07'''

01:14:04.000 --> 01:14:08.800
I was like eight years old, staying there one summer. And I said, yes. Patty Jones. She said, I'm going to have

01:14:18.400 --> 01:14:23.520
them cut that down. She said, he wrote some pretty tree son. It's not producing any plums.

===Margaret Gresham===

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/193961111/margaret%20francis-hamman%20gibson Find a grave]

'''2017 05 21'''

14:39.860 --> 14:42.940
He is America's vibrant stock market.

14:42.940 --> 14:47.100
While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.

2016 04 05

30:09.000 --> 30:15.040
you had your bets. And then on the interesting story on the ''Gresham side of my mom's family'' ...

'''2015 04 26'''

01:03:46.080 --> 01:03:51.680
almost my grandfather's grandfather. Up in temple he was an advertising guy on the temple newspaper

01:03:51.680 --> 01:04:02.560
and a couple others and William Gresham. He would go into the drugstore and they had

01:04:02.560 --> 01:04:06.800
serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:27.240 --> 02:03:29.720
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30.560 --> 02:03:34.960
Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35.160 --> 02:03:41.440
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name ...

===Clyde Hammond===
[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/193961077/clyde-william-hamman Find a grave]

'''2014 01 22'''

57:23.000 --> 57:35.000
By the way my grandfather William Hammond was an inventor.

57:35.000 --> 57:51.000
From the time he was a teenager because he lives next door to a German American who was a famous holder of patents on refrigeration and air conditioning so that's how he got the bug to build.

'''2013 07 31'''

01:39:38.000 --> 01:39:42.960
So I know Hitler was bad because I was told about it by my grandfather, okay?

01:39:42.960 --> 01:39:44.240
William Hammond.

'''2008 09 03'''

11:04.560 --> 11:11.560
And so my grandfather was in this community being German, William Hammond.

11:11.560 --> 11:14.600
And I remember hearing those stories around the breakfast table when I was visiting

=== William Hammond===
Uncle of Alex Jones.
[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/122873641/william-forrest-hamman Find a grave]

'''2013 12 23'''

01:59:18.300 --> 01:59:28.300
His name is William Forest Hammond, not the William Hammond. It was a fake pilot or something. I was googling that the other night and saw some other William Hammond.

01:59:28.300 --> 01:59:34.300
So it's not that William Hammond. But certainly pray, pray for him.

01:59:34.300 --> 01:59:42.300
All that comes up from uncles and LSU was at football player and track team. And that is the right William Hammond back.

I think in 1964 where he went to Vietnam. But I'm going to go see him. And I meant to call my dad during that break.

02:22:50.160 --> 02:22:53.760
and because I really love my uncle you know he's one of the people that helped wake me up with

02:22:53.760 --> 02:23:00.240

spelled all over it when it's a triple threat I've had family that's died people that are almost

02:17:34.160 --> 02:17:40.240

'''2014 01 03'''

02:35.300 --> 02:40.620
My uncle did pass today at about 3 30 a.m. and the reason I mentioned it is a lot of you prayed for him and I appreciate he was a great guy.

02:42.700 --> 02:46.940
One of the people that was instrumental in helping wake me up to how the world really worked.

02:47.940 --> 02:54.980
68 years old, a Vietnam helicopter pilot veteran, just a great patriot and one of the best men I've ever known, you say he's a good guy, he's a sweet person, he's a smart person.

03:01.820 --> 03:05.620
You literally, that's the only thing that comes to mind when you talk about my uncle,

03:05.620 --> 03:07.380
William Forest, Hammond.

'''2014 01 17'''

01:28:03.920 --> 01:28:10.480
it was my uncle, William Farris Hammond, who recommended that song about 10 years ago for the show,

01:28:10.480 --> 01:28:17.520
sundown on the union. And of course, he died a few weeks ago. I just always remember him.

Alex Jones

SuperAdmin: /* Genealogy */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T16:01:32Z

SuperAdmin: /* William Hammond */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough Jones family tree, pieced together from existing amateur genealogical research and tidbits Alex has shared on the air.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a rough Jones family tree, pieced together from existing amateur genealogical research and tidbits Alex has shared on the air.

[[File:Suspected Jones family tree.png|thumb|alt=Suspected Jones family tree|Suspected Jones family tree]]

===Jerry Jones===

Great guy out in East Texas. I was thinking about ''my grandfather, Jerry Jones'' ...

'''2017 09 26'''

01:58:03.280 --> 01:58:08.120
''That was my grandfather's name, Jerry Jones'', a very shameful person that smile, that little smirk on his face.

===Patty Jones (Johnson)===

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26846935/patricia_louise-jones Find a grave]

'''2009 10 21'''
21:22.640 --> 21:30.600

21:30.600 --> 21:36.800
She had been sick for several years but was getting up and walking around and was fine

'''2014 03 17'''
34:36.000 --> 34:43.000
My grandfather while he died a lung cancer in just a few months.

34:43.000 --> 34:48.000
Jerry Jones wasn't as tough as Patty Jones.

34:48.000 --> 34:55.000
And then there's all my family this died of Agent Orange. She's all the loving gifts of the New World Order.

'''2018 01 07'''

01:14:04.000 --> 01:14:08.800
I was like eight years old, staying there one summer. And I said, yes. Patty Jones. She said, I'm going to have

01:14:18.400 --> 01:14:23.520
them cut that down. She said, he wrote some pretty tree son. It's not producing any plums.

===Margaret Gresham===

[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/193961111/margaret%20francis-hamman%20gibson Find a grave]

'''2017 05 21'''

14:39.860 --> 14:42.940
He is America's vibrant stock market.

14:42.940 --> 14:47.100
While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.

2016 04 05

30:09.000 --> 30:15.040
you had your bets. And then on the interesting story on the ''Gresham side of my mom's family'' ...

'''2015 04 26'''

01:03:46.080 --> 01:03:51.680
almost my grandfather's grandfather. Up in temple he was an advertising guy on the temple newspaper

01:03:51.680 --> 01:04:02.560
and a couple others and William Gresham. He would go into the drugstore and they had

01:04:02.560 --> 01:04:06.800
serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:27.240 --> 02:03:29.720
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30.560 --> 02:03:34.960
Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35.160 --> 02:03:41.440
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name ...

===Clyde Hammond===
[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/193961077/clyde-william-hamman Find a grave]

'''2014 01 22'''

57:23.000 --> 57:35.000
By the way my grandfather William Hammond was an inventor.

57:35.000 --> 57:51.000
From the time he was a teenager because he lives next door to a German American who was a famous holder of patents on refrigeration and air conditioning so that's how he got the bug to build.

'''2013 07 31'''

01:39:38.000 --> 01:39:42.960
So I know Hitler was bad because I was told about it by my grandfather, okay?

01:39:42.960 --> 01:39:44.240
William Hammond.

'''2008 09 03'''

11:04.560 --> 11:11.560
And so my grandfather was in this community being German, William Hammond.

11:11.560 --> 11:14.600
And I remember hearing those stories around the breakfast table when I was visiting

=== William Hammond===
[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/122873641/william-forrest-hamman Find a grave]

'''2013 12 23'''

01:59:18.300 --> 01:59:28.300
His name is William Forest Hammond, not the William Hammond. It was a fake pilot or something. I was googling that the other night and saw some other William Hammond.

01:59:28.300 --> 01:59:34.300
So it's not that William Hammond. But certainly pray, pray for him.

01:59:34.300 --> 01:59:42.300
All that comes up from uncles and LSU was at football player and track team. And that is the right William Hammond back.

02:42.700 --> 02:46.940
One of the people that was instrumental in helping wake me up to how the world really worked.

02:47.940 --> 02:54.980
68 years old, a Vietnam helicopter pilot veteran, just a great patriot and one of the best men I've ever known, you say he's a good guy, he's a sweet person, he's a smart person.

03:01.820 --> 03:05.620
You literally, that's the only thing that comes to mind when you talk about my uncle,

03:05.620 --> 03:07.380
William Forest, Hammond.

'''2014 01 17'''

01:28:03.920 --> 01:28:10.480
it was my uncle, William Farris Hammond, who recommended that song about 10 years ago for the show,

01:28:10.480 --> 01:28:17.520
sundown on the union. And of course, he died a few weeks ago. I just always remember him.

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T15:40:31Z

SuperAdmin: /* Genealogy */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person.

That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough."

'''2009 10 21'''
21:22.640 --> 21:30.600
And I remember my father's mother, my grandmother, Patty Jones.

21:30.600 --> 21:36.800
She had been sick for several years but was getting up and walking around and was fine

'''2014 03 17'''
34:36.000 --> 34:43.000
My grandfather while he died a lung cancer in just a few months.

34:43.000 --> 34:48.000
Jerry Jones wasn't as tough as Patty Jones.

34:48.000 --> 34:55.000
And then there's all my family this died of Agent Orange. She's all the loving gifts of the New World Order.

'''2018 01 07'''

01:14:04.000 --> 01:14:08.800
I was like eight years old, staying there one summer. And I said, yes. Patty Jones. She said, I'm going to have

01:14:18.400 --> 01:14:23.520
them cut that down. She said, he wrote some pretty tree son. It's not producing any plums.

===Margaret Gresham===

'''2017 05 21'''

14:39.860 --> 14:42.940
He is America's vibrant stock market.

14:42.940 --> 14:47.100
While it was on the Gresham side of the family back in England almost was a 500 years ago that my ancestor invented the stock exchange.

2016 04 05

30:09.000 --> 30:15.040
you had your bets. And then on the interesting story on the ''Gresham side of my mom's family'' ...

'''2015 04 26'''

01:03:46.080 --> 01:03:51.680
almost my grandfather's grandfather. Up in temple he was an advertising guy on the temple newspaper

01:03:51.680 --> 01:04:02.560
and a couple others and William Gresham. He would go into the drugstore and they had

01:04:02.560 --> 01:04:06.800
serums of cocaine, you name it, whatever you want. I mean, you want to get picked up, they got it.

'''2019 09 05'''

02:03:27.240 --> 02:03:29.720
He helped invent Dr. Pepper in Temple, Texas

02:03:30.560 --> 02:03:34.960
Last name was Gresham and of course his ancestors started Texas, but he was a good guy

02:03:35.160 --> 02:03:41.440
But Dr. Pepper was the first soda drink to be mass distributed and he invented the name ...

===Clyde Hammond===

'''2014 01 22'''

57:23.000 --> 57:35.000
By the way my grandfather William Hammond was an inventor.

57:35.000 --> 57:51.000
From the time he was a teenager because he lives next door to a German American who was a famous holder of patents on refrigeration and air conditioning so that's how he got the bug to build.

'''2013 07 31'''

01:39:38.000 --> 01:39:42.960
So I know Hitler was bad because I was told about it by my grandfather, okay?

01:39:42.960 --> 01:39:44.240
William Hammond.

'''2008 09 03'''

11:04.560 --> 11:11.560
And so my grandfather was in this community being German, William Hammond.

11:11.560 --> 11:14.600
And I remember hearing those stories around the breakfast table when I was visiting

=== William Hammond===
[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/122873641/william-forrest-hamman Find a grave]

'''2013 12 23'''

01:59:18.300 --> 01:59:28.300
His name is William Forest Hammond, not the William Hammond. It was a fake pilot or something. I was googling that the other night and saw some other William Hammond.

01:59:28.300 --> 01:59:34.300
So it's not that William Hammond. But certainly pray, pray for him.

01:59:34.300 --> 01:59:42.300
All that comes up from uncles and LSU was at football player and track team. And that is the right William Hammond back.

I think in 1964 where he went to Vietnam. But I'm going to go see him. And I meant to call my dad during that break.

'''2013 12 18'''

02:22:50.160 --> 02:22:53.760
and because I really love my uncle you know he's one of the people that helped wake me up with

02:22:53.760 --> 02:23:00.240
the new world order he's actually called in on the show up of the years William Hammond and just

02:23:00.240 --> 02:23:07.440
pray for him out in East Texas he's in a good hospital in Tyler

'''2013 12 18'''

02:17:29.840 --> 02:17:34.160
spelled all over it when it's a triple threat I've had family that's died people that are almost

02:17:34.160 --> 02:17:40.240
died sicknesses police pray for my uncle William Hammond folks because he's as strong as a horse

02:17:40.240 --> 02:17:46.160
and he wasn't at a whole nine yards but it killed his son a few weeks ago went to his funeral

'''2014 01 03'''

02:35.300 --> 02:40.620
My uncle did pass today at about 3 30 a.m. and the reason I mentioned it is a lot of you prayed for him and I appreciate he was a great guy.

02:42.700 --> 02:46.940
One of the people that was instrumental in helping wake me up to how the world really worked.

02:47.940 --> 02:54.980
68 years old, a Vietnam helicopter pilot veteran, just a great patriot and one of the best men I've ever known, you say he's a good guy, he's a sweet person, he's a smart person.

03:01.820 --> 03:05.620
You literally, that's the only thing that comes to mind when you talk about my uncle,

03:05.620 --> 03:07.380
William Forest, Hammond.

'''2014 01 17'''

01:28:03.920 --> 01:28:10.480
it was my uncle, William Farris Hammond, who recommended that song about 10 years ago for the show,

01:28:10.480 --> 01:28:17.520
sundown on the union. And of course, he died a few weeks ago. I just always remember him.

Suspected Jones family tree

Alex Jones

2025-05-06T15:27:10Z

SuperAdmin: /* Margaret Gresham */

'''Alexander Emerick Jones''' (born February 11, 1974) is a propagandist, the founder of [[InfoWars]], host of [[the Alex Jones Show]], and primary focus of the [[Knowledge Fight]] podcast. He has been on the air for over twenty years.

Alex Jones has dabbled in pretty much every conspiracy theory known to the human species. He famously dodges accusations of antisemitism by replacing [[The Protocols of the Elders of Zion|references to Jews]] with "[[the Globalists]]".

Alex owes most of his success and audience size to his willingness to declare any national tragedy a false flag, including by not limited to [[Sandy Hook]], the [[Boston Bombing]], [[9/11]], and countless other horrible events.

==Early Life==
Born to [[David Jones]] and [[Carol Hamman]], Alex grew up in Dallas, TX (or in the nearby suburb Rockwall), and when he tells the story, he presents an incredibly unrealistic version of his childhood. To hear him tell it, he was a boy genius who was reading college text books at the age of six, though this stretches credulity in terms of countless studies that have been done on the development of literacy.

At the age of six, Alex alleges that his mother kicked him off her knee and told him that he didn't get love anymore because she was concerned that he would become a "momma's boy." Whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant; Alex only tells this story in order to reinforce his ideas about masculinity and how negative it is for men to not fit the mold that he believes they should.

As Alex got older, he started to act out more in ways that denote very serious mental health issues. According to his own accounts, he began having sex at the age of 11 or 12, and had sex with over 150 women by the age of 16 (that would be a new sexual partner almost every week for four years)<ref>http://politics.blog.mystatesman.com/2017/04/24/in-midst-of-custody-battle-alex-jones-reveals-that-at-16-id-already-had-over-150-women/</ref>. This seems like an exaggeration (or an outright lie), but if we take him at his word, this indicates a path of sexual development that is drastically outside of what the psychological community deems appropriate.

During this span of time, Alex impregnated at least ten of these women and insisted they get abortions which he (or, more likely, his parents) paid for. In some instances, the women wished to keep the pregnancies.

Around the age of 12, Alex read Gary Allen's anti-communist propaganda classic, [[None Dare Call It Conspiracy]]. He credits the reading of this book as being what "woke him up" to the agenda of the [[New World Order]]. This makes a lot of sense, as None Dare Call It Conspiracy is a book that is so poorly written that it appears to be written specifically for the "think they're smarter than they are 12 year old" demographic.

As he got into high school, Alex's oppositional defiance continued. He began getting into more and more fights, apparently putting a fellow student into a coma, which led to his father getting sued. Alex's tendency toward violence got so bad that he was kicked out of high school for a year and sent to work on a farm.

Though Alex pretends he doesn't have a substance abuse problem, though he clearly has a destructive relationship with alcohol, Alex has admitted to using many drugs in the past. His stories of the drug use don't make sense, based on what drugs do to a person. He claims that he has smoked methamphetamines twice, with one of the instances being him being spun out on a beach all night. That is not what happens to a person if they smoke methamphetamines one time, or even two times. Doing meth one time would get a person high for about 15 minutes, followed by a few hours of very light effects.

Alex would go on to begin his studies at Austin Community College, but the academic environment was not a place where Alex Jones excelled. In academic settings, there are grades and experts who actually know things from actually studying them. In the world Alex was destined to inhabit, these things were deemphasized in favor of "ability to yell," "sounding like you know something," and "being just vague enough." Alex would drop out before receiving any degree.
==Channel Access==
In the early 1990's, Alex began a show on Austin Community TV, where he apparently was hated by pretty much everyone else at the station<ref>https://quintaldo.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/jarhead-jones/</ref>. At one point, he even got beat up in the ACTV parking lot for being an asshole; he would go on to tell the cops he was the victim and that one of his harassers had "eyes that look like a goat's"<ref>https://www.mystatesman.com/news/local/kelso-alex-jones-fistfight-story-fact-fiction/5fwH3FqDyehY3NofzvH9QL/</ref>.

At some point in his public access career, Alex's father [[David Jones]], a popular dentist in Austin and owner of a line of dental store-front practices Castle Dental, received a patient who was a radio producer. Mr. Jones took the opportunity to sell the producer on Alex's talents, and how good he could be on the radio. The producer gave Alex a shot, and agreed to give him his own show, on the condition that Mr. Jones' dental practice buy advertising time on Alex's show. In essence, Alex's father bought him his show.

From 1996-1999, Alex was broadcast on KJFK 98.9 FM in Austin<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. His show was called [[The Final Edition]], specifically trying to evoke the idea that each show could be his last. He would go on to get fired from the job at KJFK, claiming that the reason he was axed was that program directors told him to stop talking about the Clintons so much, and he refused<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. This seems like a completely unbelievable story, considering that, even after Alex's termination, the station's 11 AM-2 PM shift was covered by Watergate-criminal and notorious Clinton-hater G. Gordon Liddy, who went so far as to announce on air that he uses drawings of Bill and Hillary for target practice<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013094751/http:/www.989kjfk.com/</ref><ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1995/04/26/gordon-liddy-on-shooting-from-the-lip/75754676-030f-4191-a9e3-a421855aea1f/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.29eaf5a95f4a</ref>.

On December 31, 1999, Alex Jones spent most of the day on air, whipping his audience to a fever pitch of paranoia about the Y2K hysteria. He told his audience that there were reports of explosions at power plants, that missiles had been fired at the United States, that gas stations were out of food and gas, and that the Austin police had set up a concentration camp for dissenters at a decommissioned airport. None of this was true, and appeared to be based solely on the "reports" he was getting from his random, anonymous callers. In 2017, Alex would appear as a guest on [[Joe Rogan]]'s podcast, where he would allege that he was pressured into sensationalizing Y2K reports by his bosses at the radio station, but he got fired from KJFK on or before Dec. 10, 1999<ref>https://www.austinchronicle.com/news/1999-12-10/75039/</ref>. On Dec. 31, 1999, his only bosses were himself and a gold salesman named [[Ted Anderson]].
==GCN==
By the time he got fired from KJFK (most likely even before; it appears their formal relationship dates back to at least Oct. 1999), Alex was picked up by Minnesota gold-salesman Ted Anderson<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19991013062020/http:/infowars.com:80/</ref>. Ted was looking to build his own radio network, [[Genesis Communications Network]], as a means to serve as a marketing arm for his gold and precious metals company, [[Midas Resources]]. In Alex, he found the literal perfect mouthpiece to scare audiences into a state of panic, only to alleviate that panic by informing them that buying gold would protect them from the worst parts of the dystopia he assured them was coming. And conveniently, Ted Anderson would always have "the best specials" for Alex's listeners. For many years, Alex and Ted ran a very smooth scam where they transmuted fear into gold sales.

Alex's weekday shows would be syndicated by GCN, but he also began doing a Sunday show, distributed through Genesis Communications. This show was broadcast out of KLBJ 590 AM in Austin. This arrangement ended on January 25, 2015, and in the time since, KLBJ employees have posted public apologies for ever airing Alex's show to begin with<ref>https://www.klbjfm.com/blogs/cjs-blog/alex-jones-fraud</ref>.

By 2012, Alex is selling some supplements, but mostly just reselling products like Beyond Tangy Tangerine, created by Dr. [[Joel Wallach]], who is a veterinarian<ref>https://youngevity-legacy.com/index.cfm/more/people/joel-d-wallach-bs-dvm-nd/</ref>.

By late 2013, Alex has expanded the supplement sales operation, which would ostensibly fund his operation for the proceeding years. Many of the products he sells are created by [[Edward Group|Dr. Group]], who much like Dr. Wallach, is not an actual doctor.

On Sept. 11, 2015, Ted Anderson lost his license to sell gold and precious metals, and Midas Resources was forced to pivot from that business to being a supplement retailer<ref>https://www.cards.commerce.state.mn.us/CARDS/security/search.do?documentId=%7bCE255B67-A977-49DD-98A1-6652FF270FC0%7d</ref>. Curiously, they also began selling bulk meat<ref>https://www.midasresources.com/18-meats</ref>. Around the time of his license suspension, Alex held an "Emergency [[Money Bomb]]," the timing of which is incredibly suspicious. Money Bombs were very common in the earlier days of InfoWars, but Alex had not held one since 2012, and this one came out of the blue, being announced days before it was to be held.

A few months after this, [[Roger Stone]] would enter Alex's life (though the two had met previously, in 2013, at a JFK conspiracy theory convention), and before you know it, Alex has become a mouthpiece for the Trump Presidential campaign. More on that relationship can be heard in the [https://knowledgefight.wiki/index.php/Category:2015_Investigation 2015 investigation coverage by Knowledge Fight.]

In August 2018, Alex was kicked off of Facebook, YouTube, and a number of other social media platforms for repeatedly and brazenly violating their terms of service. He has since tried to present himself as a martyr of censorship run amok.

==Genealogy==
Alex has often expressed great pride in his family history over the years. Here is a proposed Jones family tree, pieced together from existing amateur genealogical research and tidbits Alex has said on the air.
