with the update on the Alex Jones banning. So Alex Jones is, as I have said, about one million

times at this point, an insane person. Alex Jones is the guy who says that the government is attempting

to turn the frogs gay. He is a person who believes that this handy hook shooting was

actually a false flag and that the dead kids were actually child actors, or at least that's

something he expressed on his show. He suggested the same thing about various other terrorist

attacks. He suggested that the Syrian gas attack by the Syrian government was actually performed
