several bits of evidence here in this article by orlov worth reading i believe;
Something happened recently that made me feel like a bit of an
endangered species. A set of transnational internet companies, including
Google, Facebook, Apple and several others, all synchronously removed
content belonging to infowars.com, which is run by Alex Jones. Such synchronicity is a sure sign of conspiracy—something that Alex Jones harps on a lot.
I once appeared on a radio show run by Alex Jones, and he did manage to
boil down what I had to say to “the USA is going to collapse like the
USSR did,” which is pretty good, considering how poorly we managed to
connect, having so little in common. He is a conservative and a
libertarian whereas I think that conservatives don’t exist in the US.
What have they “conserved” lately—other than the right to bear small
arms? As far as libertarianism, I consider proper historical
libertarianism as a strain of socialism while its American cooptation is
just plain funny: these ones remain libertarian only until they need
the services of an ambulance or a fire engine, at which point they turn
socialist. To boot, American libertarians like Ayn Rand, who to me was a
relentlessly bad writer full of faulty thinking. However, I find her
useful as a litmus test for mediocre minds.
Moreover, Jones is political while I remain convinced that national
politics in the US is a waste of time. It has been statistically proven
that the US is not a democracy: popular will has precisely zero effect
on public policy. It doesn’t matter who is president; the difference is a
matter of style. Trump is a bull in a China shop while Clinton would
have been a deer in the headlights. The result is the same: the US is
bankrupt and its empire is over.
