Dallas, TX – Radio host, conspiracy theorist and Donald Trump supporter Alex Jones — who earlier this year ranted about a “Jewish mafia” run by billionaire George Soros — was at it again Sunday with a theory that “leftist Jews” may have impersonated Nazis to discredit white supremacist protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Speaking on “The Alex Jones Show,” Jones recalled his own experience, he said, protesting the Ku Klux Klan:
I mean, quite frankly, I’ve been to these events, a lot of the KKK guys with their hats off look like they’re from the cast of “Seinfeld.” Literally they’re just Jewish actors. Nothing against Jews in general, but they are leftists Jews that want to create this clash and they go dress up as Nazis. I have footage in Austin — we’re going to find it somewhere here at the office — where it literally looks like cast of “Seinfeld” or like Howard Stern in a Nazi outfit. They all look like Howard Stern. They almost got like little curly hair down, and they’re just up there heiling Hitler. You can tell they are totally uncomfortable, they are totally scared, and it’s all just meant to create the clash.
A video of his remarks, posted Saturday, was titled “Virginia Riots Staged To Bring In Martial Law, Ban Conservative Gatherings.”
Media Matters first reported Jones’ comments about the rally goers.
White nationalists gathered Saturday for a “Unite the Right” march in Charlottesville, ostensibly to protest a plan by local officials to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee. There were clashes between the white nationalists and counterprotesters, and a 32-year-old woman was killed when a car driven by a man who espoused neo-Nazi views plowed into a group of counterprotesters.
In the past, Jones has denied that he is anti-Semitic, saying he reserves his attacks for Jewish liberals. In March, Jones said that “the Jewish mafia” was supporting efforts by moderate Republicans to “derail the Trump presidency.”
“Well there is undoubtedly a Jewish mafia and the [Anti-Defamation League] will say you’re anti-Semitic,” Jones said on his program. “No, there’s an Italian mafia, Irish mafia, Jewish mafia, Jamaican mafia, and there’s mafias, there’s Dixie mafia. And absolutely, the Jewish mafia, then, if you criticize it says you’re anti-Semitic, but the Jewish mafia is a very powerful mafia.”
In December 2015, Trump appeared on “The Alex Jones Show,” where the then-candidate for the Republican presidential nomination told the host that “your reputation is amazing” and promised he would “not let you down.”
Jones has been called out for spreading other conspiracy theories, including one claiming that FEMA wanted to put Americans in concentration camps, Vox noted. Southern Poverty Law Center fellow Mark Potok told Vox that Jones is the “primary producer of conspiracy theories in America today.”
He’s probably right. Wasn’t Kushie and uneducated archie bunker there wearing fitted sheets? Glad to know that Shoah denier Aleck Jones blames Jews for the nazi torchlight march last eruv shabbes in Virginia. Trump doesn’t know what side we were on in WW2. DO YOU?
all’s fair in love and war, they say, but I could see the Lefties doing such stuff….
I don’t know whether Jones is an alt-right Nazi, or just mental, or just looking to make a buck. Whatever he is, I don’t like him being labeled “conspiracy theorist”. The alt-right believe that the history of the term “conspiracy theorist” was that in the 1960’s the CIA became alarmed that their victims / targets were correctly identifying CIA operations, so they set-up a committee to come up with a counter-measure. The result, according to the alt-right, was the idea to attempt to impugn the reputation of anyone who identified a CIA operation, in part by labeling them a name the committee came up with: conspiracy theorist. At some point, the alt-right started circulating what it claims are CIA internal documents supporting this.
So, I’m fine with calling out Jones’ beliefs for being wrong, and I’m fine for calling out Jones himself as a fraud, but to call him a ‘conspiracy theorist’ at this point plays into his hands.
Why does VIN give this whack job, such publicity? He makes his living, with his lies.
Most of What Alex Jones puts out is well researched and well documented. He has been completely correct on many issues often warning about things years in advance. I agree that there is a sort of Jewish Leftist Mafia that controls the Jewish narrative for the rest of us and I agree that a lot of the left wing media is controlled by left wing Jews. Alex Jones had his own infowars reporters down in Charlotsville getting pepper sprayed in the face by Leftist Antifa protestors. You can see the video on line. His reporters related that the illegal unpermitted protestors from the left came with water coolers filled with balloons containing,urine, feces, and caustic substances to throw at the rightist protestors. None of this was reported in the mainstream media which instead has focused on vilifying the President. Alex Jones has continuously called out George Soros AKA Schwartz. As far as I can tell George Soros is one of the biggest and most powerful Sonei Yisroel alive today. He hates Israel and funds many anti Israel groups and the state of Israel has declared him an enemy. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
This whacko is hulucinating he is mentally deranged masqurading as a sane person
At a custody trial Jones’ lawyer testified that Alex Jones is a “performance artist” not a maniac. Jones claims that children were not killed at Sandy Hook and that there’s a group of children held captive in a colony on Mars. Of course he was the man responsible for pizzagate.
Recently he has claimed that are plots to assassinate Trump,stage a coup and that we are on the verge of a civil war.
He rakes in millions from his gullible followers selling his own products, Super Brain Enhancer, Super Male Vitality pills and now Caveman Formula, which is powdered broth mase from chicken bones.
The far-right conservatives and white supremacist/nazis learned how to effectively divide Jewish communities and use us politically for their own ugly and dangerous agenda. (The far-left does it too.)
Alex Jones expresses his antisemitism in very clever language: “not all Jews, just the Leftists Jews” The Alt-Right Bannon team tried to use Israel as a tool to get General McMaster fired when they went with “anti-Israel” accusations against him. And Republican voting Jews are comfortable with this type of antisemitism because it’s not directed at them–as they believe.
The silence from orthodox leaderships to condemn neo-nazi, white supremacist ideology is very revealing as to where our Jewish moral values stand today.
If our community rabbis think right wing: anti-gay, anti-abortion, anti-free speech, anti-Muslim, anti-Black views are in-common with attitudes we are raised with in frum world is something to be comfortable with, they will soon realize that white supremacists are not our friends. The shared intolerance will not bring peace and prosperity to our communities or country.
Condemning racism should not be Reform, liberal Jewish values but ALL Jewish values.
Dunno if Alex Jones is a theorist or not but what I do know is that the ADL is a Mafia gang causing terrible antisemitism that needs to be erradicated.
The man is more accurate than the fake news media CNN and alike
I sort of suspect Alex Jones and his kin are a result of our poor public schools.
