    Alex Jones’ parents are members of the John Birch Society, and his dad not only helped Jones get InfoWars off the ground, he is also part owner of the trust that is the owner of Free Speech Systems (the parent company of InfoWars).

    That shit apple didn’t just not fall far from the shit tree, it fell straight fucking down.

      It’s less that I’m surprised and more I just never cared to look.

      If their ancestors knew they’d spawn those fuck faces; they’d have written evolution off as a bad idea and stayed in the trees.

        Actually, Alex Jones believes that he IS his ancestors. How that’s supposed to work with at least one of his parents still alive, I have no idea 😄
