2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, butwe believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today withPayPal Logo.png!
Donations so far: $8765.50Goal: $10000

Alex Jones
Alex Jones, staring down someNWO stooges.

Alexander Emerick Jones (b. 1974—imminent FEMA takeover) is anutritional supplement salesman who moonlights as apsychoticradio shock-jock and alegally certified self-proclaimed "performance artist" who specializes in making upconspiracy theories to amuse his audience. He is the world's most powerful conspiracy pusher: his shows drawing millions of viewsdaily. Any time anything interesting happens anywhere on Earth, there's a 100% chance that Jones has found"proof" that it is either (1) afalse flag operation by theNew World Order (NWO) or (2) a "massive coverup operation" run by theNew World Order (NWO). No exceptions. You would think theNew World Order would've eliminated this widely-known bearer of all their secrets, but nope. For some reason they see fit to let him continue.

Like all good showmen, you must understand his early work to truly appreciate his art: Jones got his start in 1995 on Access TV inAustin. Jones first hit the limelight withY2K. And he was ready: grunting about theend of money, reporting on millions of deaths worldwide, andshilling for hissurvivalist's shop called "The Hardware Store":guns, ammo,MREs and8-stage water filtration systems. And we all awoke on 01 January 2000 to… absolutely nothing. Most Texans assumed he was done. Then9/11 swooped in and bailed thecharlatan out. ThenObama became theanti-Christ of choice. ThenTrump became Jones' best pal, despite Jones otherwise generally assuming that anyone associated with the government is a [insert snarl word here].

In short: Jones has been predicting theend of the world for30 years. And it gets worse from there.Goat help us all.
