Alex Jones paid $500,000 to organize the insurrection on January 6th and he admits to getting his marching orders from Donald Trump. They literally sponsored a domestic terrorist attack on our nation's capital. Arrest them.

(2,868 posts)This was sedition, plain and simple. A organized plot for a domestic terrorist attack to overthrow a democratically elected government.
We're gonna need an old French women to yell, "Guillotine! Guillotine!".

All we need is the frog-marching to begin.

I have no doubt that seditionist idiot could come up with $500k. Assuming, of course, there was something in it, directly for him.

(2,190 posts)Seth Abramson says that this is a video that he put out in January, and he claims that Alex Jones didn't advocate violence or the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, but was involved in the insurrection in other ways.
Here's his post with a link to when he wrote about 5 videos in January:

I have no idea what's going on, but Seth seems to think that Alex Jones deliberately kept himself away from the violence, and if so, it's not helpful to us to have disprovable rumors going around.

(623 posts)Did he say that 30 minutes before Trump ends his speech that Trump told him the "secret service will take you out of the front row" and take you to the place where you will lead the march or something like that? Alex Jones is such a liar that unless there are videos of him doing what he says Trump told him to do no one will believe that what he says here is a fact. In any case, I have little faith, practically none, that any bigwigs will ever be prosecuted for paying for and organizing this insurrection.
