The Tyranny of Bringing Your Own Balls to the Tennis Court Things were a little weird the last time we peeped in on the infowars scene. I hope somebody has checked on Alex Jones's neighbours since then. Karen and Steve, if you're reading this, just let us know you're okay. Today, the mood was more... Continue Reading →
Checking In with Alex Jones During COVID-19 Again
It's been a week since I peeked into Infowars to see how things are going. Jones was kind of blathering on about the same old same old at that time.

Jim Bakker’s Endtimes Buckets o’ Stuff and Coronavirus Cure
Hoarding food and supplies for the apocalypse could be a psychological artifact of the Cold War, consumerism gone haywire or some form of collective insanity.
