Alex Jones makes his living, up until now a good one, selling nutritional supplements to conspiracy theorists. The absolute nonsense he spews on his Infowars program is the bait to bring in the audience so he can sell them sawdust masquerading as protein bars. He even uses before and after pictures of himself to pitch the goods. Now, the before picture is 100% indistinguishable from the after, but that’s besides the point.
One of his favorite methods of rousting up his audience and their appetite for brain boosting tinctures and ointments is to claim, loudly and repeatedly, that the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax. Jones uses the term ‘false flag’ because the tinfoil hat crowd loves to devise vocabulary that makes their batcrap crazy nonsense sound more official. He claims that the 26 dead and their mourning families were crisis actors, whatever the hell that is.
