Alex Jones is one of the most controversial figures in American alternative media, but he rose to the
greatest heights of popularity during the last 18 years, following the 9/11 Terrorist attacks on New York Twin Towers. His official You Tube channel had more than 2 million subscribers.
At first, he had been dismissed as a crazy conspiracy theorist by the main stream media and regularly laughed at, but since the last Presidential Elections in the United States, the personal attacks on him and his message increased.
Jones believes that there is underlying hidden globalist agenda that aims at creating one world government and a global dictatorship, and that there is an information war going on right now for our future, hence the name of his website: Infowars. He sees himself as a patriot fighting for free speech, and preserving the sovereignty and the democratic constitutional form of government in the United States of America, which he believes is currently under attack from the mentioned above globalists.
He had been also saying for years that one day he is going to be banned from social media and perhaps even the entire Internet for speaking out against this globalist agenda. Recently it happened. Jones' content, both video and audio, was removed from all major social media platforms for "hate speech" without any specific examples of it being provided to the public. Thereby proving Alex Jones right in the eyes of his listeners and viewers, millions of them. That was the most stupid thing the social media giants could ever do. They just made him a winner by proving him right. In the best case scenario he will find or fund a new, independent platform, and he will be even more popular than ever before.
In the worse case scenario, as other people including those who did not agree with his views, but who worry about their own freedom of speech begin to criticize the ill advised move, which by the way is already happening with Dr. Jordan B Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Stefan Molyneux , and many others, each one of whom has more than or nearly a million subscribers on You Tube alone, they will begin to try to silence them as well. This is the worst case scenario because they would isolate millions of people who will feel that their freedoms are indeed slipping away, and will indeed then for sure begin to be convinced that we are slipping into some form of global dictatorship. Unstable people could begin to riot, which could lead to great unrest and possibly even violence, as the anarchist types would exploit it for their own ideological gains.
We are then at potentially dangerous crossroads, and we really need to have a completely free and respectful public debate about this before things degenerate further. From a biblical point of view, that global dictatorship is indeed coming someday and it will take Jesus Himself to free humanity from its oppression, but I also believe that we still have a moral and spiritual obligation to stand up against it, and by doing so to delay its coming for as long as possible. We are still living in the time of grace, and while we still have the freedom, we should continue to speak the Truth and shine the light in the darkness.
