Infowars apologizes for its pizzagate coverage:
Considering the endless number of "conspiracy" topics infowars talks about every day on its website, its very curious that this is one thing they chose to apologise for and delete all traces of.
I'm buying the controlled opposition theory about them a lot more now.
Back when I "woke up" a couple years ago I watched a lot of Infowars documentaries and listened to Alex Jones. Nevermind his hyperbole and almost manic-passionate speech - many people take offense to that, but that is not what counts.
What counts is where Infowars is leading his millions of supporters and the track record for that is lousy. Sure - it helped Trump win, but before that they made sure that millions of low-income people supported the freemason traitor Ron Paul and his son as well.
They are leading the people into dead end solutions like Central Bank protests while ignoring actual reformers like Bill Still (who were candidates for the Libertarian party and ran on real interest-free money reforms). The THRIVE movement with it's hundreds of thousands of followers is for example grassroots, because they speak about those issues, but they have less of an impact than Infowars.
And don't take me wrong - Infowars talks about a lot of truth, they overdo it at times with some crazy predictions, but they toned down on that front recently. Now it is more on the basis of directing the people towards "safe rebellions" - meaning actually no real lasting change. It all points to the fact that they are indeed Controlled Opposition of some sort.
Pizzagate obviously crossed a line and Jones had to pull back. They either ordered him or told him that they would sue him for sure for tens of millions since he is accusing a very specific person of the most vile pedophilia. And no - public person or not - you cannot easily do that. If you publish in detail very strong assumptions about a specific person or business, then you better have the backing of the establishment or proof. You can say that Monsanto and the food industry is giving you cancer (because they do), you can say that vaccines are toxic (because they are), you can say that the global warming is a scam (because it is), but if you say that Dr. Robertson from down the street is a Satanist and is sacrificing children then you are in trouble.
The UVA rape case was such an issue - the fraternity will get millions and those accusations were not as severe.
Saying it on Reddit anonymously is one thing - publishing it on your massive alternative media site is something completely different. Infowars had interviewed Donald Trump a couple of times - it has far more clout than Mr. Anon on a forum.
