The Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995, was intended by perpetrator Timothy McVeigh as a response to the federal involvement in the botched resolution of the Waco siege on its second anniversary. It was at this time he started to host a call-in show on public access television (PACT/ACTV) in Austin. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), these events 'only confirmed his belief in the inexorable progress of unseen, malevolent forces'. It ended in April 1993, near the end of Jones's senior year of high school, with a substantial fire and a significant number of fatalities. The Waco siege at the Branch Davidian complex near Waco, Texas, had an impact on Jones.

It had a profound influence on him, and Jones has described Allen's work as 'the easiest-to-read primer on The New World Order'. Īs a teenager, he read None Dare Call It Conspiracy, a book by John Birch Society conspiracy theorist Gary Allen, which alleged global bankers controlled American politics rather than elected officials. After graduating, Jones briefly attended Austin Community College before dropping out.

He attended Anderson High School, where he played football and graduated in 1993. The family moved to Austin in Jones's sophomore year of high school.

He claims Irish, German, Welsh, English, and Comanche descent. His father was a dentist from Austin and his mother was a homemaker. Jones was born on February 11, 1974, in Dallas, Texas, and was raised in the suburb of Rockwall. One of the judges issued an order that he was 'not to transfer, encumber, dispose or move his assets out of the United States until further order of the court.' On December 2, 2022, Jones filed for personal bankruptcy. In 2022, for Jones's defamatory falsehoods about the Sandy Hook shooting, juries in Connecticut and Texas awarded a total of $1.487 billion in damages from Jones to a first responder and families of victims the plaintiffs alleged that Jones's lies led to them being threatened and harassed for years. On January 6, 2021, Jones was a speaker at the rally in Lafayette Square Park supporting Trump preceding the latter's supporters' attack on the US Capitol. A staunch supporter of Trump's re-election, Jones also supported the false claims of electoral fraud in the 2020 presidential election. He has also claimed that several governments and large businesses have colluded to create a ' New World Order' through 'manufactured economic crises, sophisticated surveillance tech and-above all- inside-job terror attacks that fuel exploitable hysteria.' Ī longtime critic of Republican and Democratic foreign and security policy, Jones supported Donald Trump's 2016 presidential bid and continued to support him as a savior from an alleged criminal bipartisan cabal controlling the federal government, despite falling out over several of Trump's policies including airstrikes against the Assad regime. The conspiracy theories that Jones has promoted allege that the United States government either concealed information about or outright falsified the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, the September 11 attacks, and the 1969 Moon landing.

In 2023, leaked texts from Jones's phone revealed that he created the website National File. Jones has provided a platform and support for white nationalists, giving Unite the Right rally attendee and white supremacist Nick Fuentes a platform on his website, Banned.Video, as well as giving an 'entry point' to their ideology. Jones's website, InfoWars, promotes conspiracy theories and fake news, as do his other websites, NewsWars and PrisonPlanet. He hosts The Alex Jones Show from Austin, Texas, which the Genesis Communications Network broadcasts across the United States via syndicated and internet radio. Alexander Emerick Jones (born February 11, 1974) is an American far-right, alt-right radio show host and prominent conspiracy theorist.
