Alex Jones is known as the US far-right conspiracist who has
been peddling misinformation and dangerous lies on his site, Infowars. For years in his early 20s, Josh Owens worked for him, accepting his point of view. “Jones made the world seem exciting,” Owens says. In 2012, a gunman walked into Sandy Hook elementary school and killed 20 children and six adults. Jones used it as fodder on his site. The children were alive, he said and the grieving parents were actors; part of a government plot to disarm Americans. Owens tells what it was like to work on the website—and how he came to realise how wrong he had been. In 2018, Jones was sued for defamation by the families. He was eventually ordered to pay a record US$1.4bn in damages and filed for bankruptcy. Last Friday Infowars recorded its final broadcast. Now the site is on the verge of being taken over by the satirical newspaper The Onion. But is this really the end of Alex Jones? Let's sincerely hope so.
