If "the libs" controlled the weather, Jones would be getting zapped by lightning every time he opened his stupid mouth.

A billion dollar judgement against this guy and he is still spewing lies.
Billion and a half.
A billion and a half so far!
👉
It's truly unbelievable, isn't it. It illustrates the degree to which people are truly a slave to their impulses and delusions. No external factors will ever reform this guy, and it's really a sad thing to watch a person trapped in their own kind of hell.
He knows what the truth is. He just wants money and cocaine, so he continues doing these.

Here’s the thing… If we can control the weather so easily, why can’t the Republicans? Have they not figured it out yet? I don’t want to vote for someone who can’t even destroy Florida on a whim with a few clouds.

It's mindblowing to us non-Americans that such a large percentage of a purportedly first-world country can be so utterly stupid. I can't imagine that things were this bad even just 20 years ago. Why are y'all so dumb?
Decades undermining and underfunding education. They want dumb consumers just informed enough to work a shit job and earn enough to survive but not thrive.
I have friends who are teachers, and the education policies in place even here in California are absolutely asinine. They are required to have extensive documentation to fail a student, in that kids who did fuckall that year are promoted to the next grade anyway. There are kids entering highschool are struggling with reading comprehension and basic arithmetic, nevermind have behavioral issues galore and just a general sense of apathy. Admin tend to side with insane parents instead of teachers in the classroom, exacerbating the behavior problems. It's all bad news bears.
Decades of propaganda painting opposition to the GOP as literal Satan worshipping baby killing pedophiles, and when that's who you're running against, how could not vote for the GOP no matter how uneducated they are?

I've usually pointed towards our education system but I'm not so sure anymore. I think there's more at play.
I think it's more about the inherit individualism in America, "the American dream", capitalism, and the definition of The United States. There's a strong rejection of community support and social services. There's a desire to have more than we need. There's a fear of "others" who threaten your domicile and prosperity. The country was founded on a distrust of government with the formation of semi-sovereign states and multiple forms of checks and balances.
I think there's an argument that to "be American" means to be in opposition to and skeptical of government. At first, in wake of the revolutionary war, this seemed reasonable. With slow moving news and a journalistic industry maintaining the fourth pillar of democracy, without the temptation of ad revenue or competition with social media, Americans were, frankly, sheep to a small group of organizations. As a 21st century first first world country, we really need to get together and reassess what the role of government should be and how to draft a constitution that meets the needs of a nation in an increasingly connected (and shrinking) planet.
We are not afforded the tools to be competitive with the future of humanity.
I actually believe our lack of faith in religion has had a negative impact. We used to be more connected with our community. We largely trusted one another. It was not that long ago that hitch hiking across the country was a normal practice for teens. I don't believe in gods but I have respect for some aspects of some religious organizations. What seems to have replaced this is social media bubbles or tribes. Or internet forums like this.
We're an increasingly fractured nation that holds distrust of all things in high regard.
Also, we're a nation that defines wealth as the ability to acquire rather than the ability to give.

Didnt this guy just get bankrupted?
If Trump can be convicted for his actions and still get more money and still run for president, Alex Jones can lose lawsuit after lawsuit from being a total fucking moron and still be a total fucking moron.

Not a conspiracy theorist but a scam artist.
Pretty sure he doesn't believe those lies, he's just scamming the poor bastards that do.
That's what he said, under oath, during his divorce.
I listen to Knowledge Fight and they find him in his lies regarding his beliefs all the time. It's an act.
Isn't he supposed to be liquidating his equipment and not using it to get into more trouble. 🤔
The sad thing is there are actual people out there who would believe this sooner than they'd see climate change as the cause.

Why does this sentient piece of excrement still have a platform?
He needs money to live now that the courts have started selling his business to pay off the last people he hurt by spreading insane conspiracy theories.
He’s a one trick pony, only thing he knows how to do is lie and sell snake oil pills that turn you red.

That any double digit percent is falling for this bullshit is a sad commentary of the state of the world today. And I'm not singling Americans out because there are plenty of idiots on the other side of the ocean as well.
can confirm (source: am on the other side of the ocean and certified idiot). But this is beyond even my level of idiocy. The part on 9/11 is really the icing on this shit cake: he manages to pit two conspiracies against each other:
- hey man, what are you doing with that hurricane? Today we are doing the "flying airplanes into towers" one, remember?
- oh shit sorry, totally forgot that one! No worries, I'm just turning this thing off before it hits the coast
Please. Let's not post conspiracy theories in the news channel.
Wasn't this motherfuckers show broken up and to be sold to pay the billions he owes? How is this asshole still allowed to go on the air and spew this bullshit?
well, but it is news that Alex Jones is at it again.

Wait, this asshole still has a radio show? I thought he was bankrupt and had to liquidate all his assets to pay damages in the Sandy Hook lawsuit. How can he be broadcasting? Who is paying for it?

Why is this even in the news? This is the same kind of dumb shit that would get talked about on AM radio stations and other conspiracy theory circles that nobody paid any attention to because of how completely stupid it sounded to a rational person. Can we stop giving these people any attention?

This Alex Jones mf. Imagine running your mouth so bad you have to pay a billion and a half dollars to families of murdered children. I'd probably be terrified to ever open my mouth ever again.

Jeez, this guy is like Rush Limbaugh on meth.
In my opinion, the real concern here is that this may be the demise of the need to address climate change. Just as these wackos convinced millions of people that vaccines were a government plot, they're setting the stage for the climate change hoax. There will be a large swath of people who convert to believe the government is in control of the weather and the change we've experienced in our climate. This should be a grave concern for all.
2000's conservative: "Climate change isn't real".
2010's conservative: "Climate change is real, but it's not caused by human activity".
2020's conservative: "Climate change is caused by human activity, and IT'S THE LIBERALS AND THEIR HURRICANE MAKING SPACE LASERS".

Big question: So when they're in control of the weather, why not send hurricanes to Ukraine/Russia instead. Or China? Or Iran? Or Irak? Or Gaza? Or ...
Cause the machine sits in Guantanamo Bay due to a deal Biden made with Fidel Castro's ghost.

I've heard this before but if Harris and the Dems are literally controlling the weather, why wouldn't you vote for them?!
Well this is an unexpected turn to climate change denial.
I guess the “it’s real but it’s too late” is not as useful as “it’s real and ifs caused by [inset scapegoat]”
Really didn’t see this coming, which shows how satire can’t hold a candle to the stupidity of reality.
For those who don't know, completely unfiltered Alex Jones fits almost seamlessly into the 40k universe and that's bonkers.

Where are these assholes getting all these ideas about "weather weapons?" Oh, wait...
Trump Kept Asking if China Was Shooting Us With a ‘Hurricane Gun’
Near the beginning of Donald Trump’s time in office, the then-president had a pressing question for his national-security aides and administration officials: Does China have the secret technology — a weapon, even — to create large, man-made hurricanes and then launch them at the United States? And if so, would this constitute an act of war by a foreign power, and could the U.S. retaliate militarily? Then-President Trump repeatedly asked about this, according to two former senior administration officials and a third person briefed on the matter.
“It was almost too stupid for words,” said a former Trump official intimately familiar with the then-sitting president’s inquiry. “I did not get the sense he was joking at all.”

If dems could control weather why wouldn’t they use it for the benefit of States they favored, like maybe ending the drought in California or putting out the wildfires there or in the PNW?
They stopped with the ‘it’s God punishing sinful States’ when it became apparent that all the states that kept getting hit with natural disasters were mostly Republican controlled ones. 😂

GOP Talking Head: The Democrats are pushing the point that we are allowing climate change to make storms worse and a large part of our base are getting affected by the storms. What do we do?
AJ: We blame them for the storms.
GTH: Nobody's going to believe that!
AJ: Have you met your base?
But if you ask him about climate change, humans don't have the ability to change weather appreciable.
No recognition of how stupid he sounds.
