SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

At a recent pretrial hearing, attorney Randall Wilhite told state District Judge Orlinda Naranjo that using his client Alex Jones’ on-air Infowars persona to evaluate Alex Jones as a father would be like judging Jack Nicholson in a custody dispute based on his performance as the Joker in “Batman.”

“Planned operations to convey selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of foreign governments, organizations, groups, and individuals. The purpose of psychological operations is to induce or reinforce foreign attitudes and behavior favorable to the originator’s objectives.” definition of PSYOPS or Psychological Operations

EDITOR’S NOTE: There is no question that Infowars star and founder Alex Jones is a high camp performance artist, that was never in question. But a much better question to ask would be is Alex Jones a government plant, living among the fringe groups and sowing disinformation? Call it a psyop within a psyop, how deep does the rabbit hole go?

“He’s playing a character,” Wilhite said of Jones. “He is a performance artist.” But in emotional testimony at the hearing, Kelly Jones, who is seeking to gain sole or joint custody of her three children with Alex Jones, portrayed the volcanic public figure as the real Alex Jones.

“He’s not a stable person,” she said of the man with whom her 14-year-old son and 9- and 12-year-old daughters have lived since her 2015 divorce. “He says he wants to break Alec Baldwin’s neck. He wants J-Lo to get raped.

“I’m concerned that he is engaged in felonious behavior, threatening a member of Congress,” she said, referring to his recent comments about California Democrat Adam Schiff. “He broadcasts from home. The children are there, watching him broadcast.”

Performance art on the Piers Morgan Show:

2013 was the year that Alex Jones went from being a cult figure to breaking out on the national stage. Watch this clip of Jones starting out normal for about the first two minutes, then he slides over into extreme camp theater that bordered on the ridiculous. Either it is performance art, or he is a little insane. 

Beginning Monday, a jury will be selected at the Travis County Courthouse that in the next two weeks will be asked to sort out whether there is a difference between the public and private Alex Jones, and whether, when it comes to his fitness as a parent, it matters.

For Naranjo, who has been the presiding judge of the 419th District Court since January 2006, it is about keeping her eyes, and the jury’s eyes, on the children.

“This case is not about Infowars, and I don’t want it to be about Infowars,” Naranjo told the top-shelf legal talent enlisted in Jones v. Jones at the last pretrial hearing Wednesday. “I am in control of this court, not your clients.”

But for Alex Jones, at the peak of his power and influence, what emerges from the art deco courthouse on Guadalupe Street might shape whether he comes to be seen by his faithful as more prophet or showman.

Infowars as evidence

Alex Jones is an Austin original who, 21 years after he got his own show on Austin public access television, has become an unlikely popular and political force in the Donald Trump era, an ingenious and indefatigable conjurer of conspiracy theories about sinister global elites seeking to enslave the masses, who found, in Trump, a hero open to his shadowy narratives.

“Alex Jones and his Infowars’ umbrella of radio shows, YouTube and Facebook broadcasts, Internet website and tweets turned out to be Trump’s secret weapon,” Roger Stone, probably Trump’s oldest and closest political confidant, wrote in his book “The Making of the President 2016.” “His fiery words have struck a chord in the nation and he speaks for millions. In fact, more people follow Alex than watch Fox News or CNN.”

Performance art on the Alex Jones Show:

Again, watch this and ask  yourself if this is real or camp theater?

In addition to broadcasting his radio show on some 150 stations, Infowars.com had 7.6 million global unique visitors between March 16 and April 14 according to Quantcast, which measures web audiences and ranked Infowars.com 387th among all U.S. websites, not far behind Texas.gov, MLB.com and PBS.org.

The Alex Jones YouTube channel has more than 2 million subscribers and more than 1.2 billion video views.

But Jones’ most important listener is the president of the United States.

During the campaign and into his presidency, many of Trump’s most defining themes and questionable assertions either originated with or were popularized by Infowars: Hillary Clinton for prison. Hillary Clinton is gravely ill. Bill Clinton is a rapist. President Barack Obama founded ISIS. The election is rigged. Millions of immigrants voted illegally. The news media covers up terrorist attacks. The “fake news media … is the enemy of the people.” Obama spied on Trump.

Alex Jones official rebuttal to his own lawyer’s statement:

This is Alex Jones official video reply to the accusations of being a performance artist. Hoo boy.

In December 2015, thanks to Stone, Trump appeared via Skype on Jones’ show. “Your reputation is amazing,” Trump told Jones. “I will not let you down.”

Since Trump became president, Jones has purported on air to be in regular direct telephone contact with the president, apologizing for not always being able to answer the phone when the president calls. Last week, Jones said that the president had invited him to Mar-a-Lago but that he had to beg off because of family obligations.

Recently, Jones faulted Trump for falling for the “false flag” that it was the Syrian government, and not its enemies, that deployed chemical weapons against civilians, but he says he understands the political expedience involved and remains hopeful that Trump will reclaim the anti-globalist mantle.

Naranjo, meanwhile, said she had never seen or heard Jones on Infowars until Wednesday’s hearing, when Kelly Jones’ legal team started previewing Infowars videos it would like to play for the jury.

The first was a clip from a July 2015 broadcast in which Jones had his son, then 12, on to play the latest of some 15 or 20 videos he had made with the help of members of the Infowars team who, Jones said, had “taken him under their wing” during summer days spent at the South Austin studio between stints at tennis and Christian camps.

“He is undoubtedly cut out for this, and I intend for him to eclipse what I’ve done. He’s a way greater person than I was at 12,” said Jones, turning to his son. “I love you so much, and I didn’t mean to get you up here, sweetheart, and tell people how much I love you, but you’re so handsome, and you’re a good little knight who’s going to grow up, I know, to be a great fighter against the enemy.”

“So far this looks like good stuff,” Wilhite said. Naranjo OK’d it for viewing by the jury.

But Bobby Newman, the attorney for Kelly Jones guiding the court through the Infowars clips, was laying the groundwork for the argument that there is no separation between Alex Jones, father, and Alex Jones, Infowarrior.

“This is the world he has planned for his kids,” said Newman, quoting Alex Jones at a recent hearing insisting that what he says on the air is what he believes.

And then there’s this:

Did comedian Bill Hicks fake his own death only to re-emerge as Alex Jones? With Jones, anything is possible.

Next up was a video of a recent conversation between Jones and Stone on Infowars that quickly escalated into an expletive-studded, gay-bashing rant by Jones directed at Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee investigation of Trump’s Russia ties, in which, Schiff has suggested, Stone and Jones might be entangled.

Jones’ rant ends: “You got that, you son of a bitch? Fill your hand,” echoing John Wayne’s warning in True Grit” to a man he’s about to shoot and kill.

“This is nothing but a response to a congressman who called him a Russian spy,” said David Minton, another lawyer representing Alex Jones. “What possible relevance does that have?” Minton asked. “They want to throw the stench in the jury box and never get the stench out. It has nothing to do with parenting.”

A few days after his Schiff riff, Jones characterized it on-air as “clearly tongue-in-cheek and basically art performance, as I do in my rants, which I admit I do, as a form of art.” “When I say, ‘I’m going to kick your ass,’ it’s the Infowar,” Jones said. “I say every day we’re going to destroy you with the truth.”

Jones’ rhetoric is perpetually at a pugilistic fever pitch. source

DRONE MYSTERY SOLVED: Palantir and Shield AI Are Releasing The Hivemind Autonomous Drone Deployment System And We’re The Test Subjects

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Palantir and Shield AI are collaborating on a new effort to use Hivemind technology to allow drones and other uncrewed systems to autonomously detect and respond to threats without direct human control

On the Podcast that ended just moments ago, we showed you the incredible trail that starts with Elon Musk and Peter Thiel creating PayPal, takes you to a company called Palantir who created a COVID Vaccine Recipient Tracking System called Tiberius for the Trump administration, to Thiel ‘gifting’ JD Vance $15,000,000.00 in 2022, to Vance becoming VP in 2024, to Elon Musk who ‘adopted’ Trump and used his vast wealth to drive his election bid over the finish line, back to Palantir who is, right now, working with an AI company called Shield to launch the Hivemind. What is the Hivemind? It’s the reason for the drone sightings all across the country, it’s a practice run.

“Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.” Daniel 2:19 (KJB)

Alex Burtness, director of product management at Shield AI, said the Hivemind system enables uncrewed aerial systems (UASs) to perform tasks such as threat detection, targeting, and mission adaptation without manual input. Palantir’s interface provides operators with command and control, situational awareness, and data-driven decision-making, Burtness said. “It allows them to see the big picture,” he said.

The aircraft uses sensors to create a map or world-view, the Hivemind then tells the aircraft or autopilot where to go and what to do to execute its mission. No GPS, no waypoints, and no comms are needed for aircraft to accomplish their missions.

Donald Trump in the closing weeks of his campaign, was all of a sudden courted by tech titans Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and a few others. They all wanted in and no one knew exactly why. Shortly after Trump’s stunning win on November 5th, the drones started appearing in the skies over New Jersey. They have increased in frequency and duration since that time. Strangely, Elon Musk who loves all things sci-fi, created a rocket ship company bigger than NASA, built a town called Starbase in Texas, and wants to colonize Mars has had exactly ZERO interest in finding out anything about the drones, or even talking about them. Why? Because these drones are a test run, a practice run to launch the Hivemind. Whoever controls autonomous drones will control everything, and this is why the tech titans are all onboard with Trump. The Pandemic was Phase 1, this is Phase 2. Phase 3 will be implementation along the lines of Revelation 13. Got questions? Great, here’s some more answers.

We’re building Hivemind, our AI pilot, to enable swarms of drones and aircraft to operate autonomously without GPS, communications, or a pilot.

Now before you make up your mind about what I just said, did you know about HR 8610? There is a bill before Congress right now called the HR 8610 Counter-UAS Authority Security, Safety, and Reauthorization Act, and it is there to “reauthorize and reform counter-unmanned aircraft system authorities, to improve transparency, security, safety, and accountability related to such authorities, and for other purposes.” Isn’t that an amazing coincidence? I mean, what are the chances of that? Pretty good, as it turns out.

Listen to today’s explosive Podcast!

So is it possible that all the drones sightings over the past few weeks, more than 5,000, are because the American people are being used as guinea pigs in a massive experiment to bring in the Hivemind system. Not only is it possible, it is highly probable when you consider we were used as test subjects during the forced COVID vaccine injections from 2021 – 2023. (Well, I was not used in that way, but maybe you were as 230,637,348 Americans got the clot shot.) The tech titans who have attached themselves to the incoming Trump administration – Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk – are in prime standing to not only launch the Hivemind, but everything else they’ve been working on in secret DARPA, Meta and X backroom experiments.

But since they say that a picture is worth 1,000 words, let me leave you with this. At the Army Navy football game attended by Donald Trump, JD Vance and Elon Musk, one of the main sponsors for their massive Jumbotron billboard was, you guess it, Palantir. You can see the screen capture at the top of this article, that’s not Photoshop. During that game, dystopian software company Palantir released this commercial that will tie the rag on the bush, and connect all the dots for you.

What does the Palantir commercial show you? Well, on the surface it purports to show you a massive cyber system protecting America from her enemies, but after you’ve watched it a few times, you see a little deeper into the release of bursts of drones, and then you know exactly what you’re looking at. The drone sightings over the past few weeks have been a real-time experiment to see how Americans will react to an aerial army patrolling the skies. Peter Thiel bought himself a VP in 2022, Elon Musk bought himself a Commander-in-chief in 2024, and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, ChatGPT guru Sam Altman and Meta monster Mark Zuckerberg just paid for Trump’s inauguration. (“cue crypto replacing the dollar”) The tech titans have taken over, and that’s exactly what they have planned for us here on Day 1,736 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve. Welcome to the Hivemind.

LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND: New Jersey Senator Calls For A ‘State Of Emergency’ To Be Declared As Mysterious Drones Are Now Coming In From The Ocean

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

NJ Republican state Sen. Jon Bramnick calls for ‘limited state of emergency’ over mysterious drone sightings that are plaguing New Jersey for the past 6 weeks, but is this really ‘Leave The World Behind’ being acted out?

For starters, whatever these drones slash UFOs slash UAPs actually are, our Federal government seems remarkably unconcerned to find out where they are coming from. Could one reason for that be that these drones are coming from the government? Don’t forget, 44th president of the United States Barack Hussein Obama produced and cowrote a movie about the government launching a series of psyops against the America people that ultimately led to civil war. In fact, these New Jersey drone sightings began right around the one year anniversary of the release of ‘Leave The World Behind’, what an amazing coincidence. Not only that, but a breaking news report coming across my desk right now is saying that over 50 drones were spotting flying in from over the ocean. This is literally and actually what ‘Leave The World Behind’ is all about. At this point, it would be better if it were aliens.

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 29:2 (KJB)

While there is a chance, and a good chance, mind you, that these drones are visitors from outside of Earth, we are rapidly heading into the biblical Days of Noah Jesus warned about, I think the more realistic explanation for the relentless and terrifying drone swarms in NJ comes from our Federal government. It is quite possible these drones are part of a psyop, a psychological operation designed to inflict fear and terror into people, and that DARPA is behind it. If you haven’t yet seen ‘Leave The World Behind’, go watch it and then these drone sightings will make a lot more sense to you. More than a dozen drones followed a 47-foot Coast Guard boat Sunday night, while law enforcement tracked another 50 drones coming onto land from the ocean at Island State Park, Rep. Chris Smith said. Has our government already launched the war? It’s really starting to look that way.

NJ state senator calls for ‘limited state of emergency’ over mysterious drone sightings

FROM ABC ACTION NEWS 6: A New Jersey state senator is calling for a limited state of emergency over the mysterious drones that have been seen flying over the region in recent weeks. “The State of New Jersey should issue a limited state of emergency banning all drones until the public receives an explanation regarding these multiple sightings,” Republican state Sen. Jon Bramnick said in a statement Tuesday.

The call came amid numerous recent drone sightings reported across New Jersey in recent weeks, including the Philadelphia region. Numerous reports were sent to Action News about flying objects in Media and Broomall in Delaware County, as well as in Philadelphia’s Mayfair section and in Cherry Hill, Camden County. The drones are larger than the type typically used by hobbyists, officials and eyewitnesses have said.

The source and reason for the drones remains unknown as local, state and federal investigators look into the matter.

The White House says President Biden has been briefed on the drones and they are “closely tracking the activity” and “coordinating closely” with DHS and FBI to continue investigating these incidents.

“This is something that DHS and FBI are tracking very, very closely. And so, I would have to refer you to, to them directly, but aware, keeping an eye out and looking into the incidents that you just mentioned,” said press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday.

The Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey — a military research and production facility in Morris County — has reported 11 confirmed sightings by a police officer or security guard in response to a report since Nov. 13. READ MORE

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Assassinated On New York City Street In Targeted Attack In Broad Daylight During ‘Investor Day’ Conference

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The CEO of UnitedHealth’s insurance division Brian Thompson was gunned down Wednesday morning outside the Hilton hotel in Midtown New York City in what police say was a targeted attack.

There are still 47 days to go until Donald Trump is sworn in as president, and the strangeness just keeps ramping up. A few days ago, outgoing pretend president Joe Biden pardon his son Hunter Biden for over 10 years worth of crimes. The moment it was done, Biden hopped on a place to fly to Africa to give them a billion dollars for ‘flood relief”. Today, CEO at UnitedHealthCare Brian Thompson in New York City was gunned down in what police are calling a ‘targeted attacked’. Translation? He was assassinated. But why?

“Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?” Job 31:3 (KJB)

Healthcare and Big Pharma are highly contentious industries, I should know have worked at the highest levels of Big Pharma for over a decade. What did I see in my time there? Let me just say that just about every conspiracy theory you’ve heard about healthcare and Big Pharma are right on the money. Maybe Brian Thompson had a bookie he forgot to pay, or maybe he borrowed money from the Mafia, or maybe it was a drug deal gone wrong that got him shot this morning. Maybe New York City is just a third world hellhole that people should avoid like the plague. But the fact that he was a CEO at one of the nation’s largest and most-powerful healthcare companies tells me something different. This was not just a random attack, this was done to send a message. Who’s next?

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson fatally shot outside Hilton hotel in Midtown in possible targeted attack: sources

FROM THE NY POST: Brian Thompson, 50, was at the hotel around 6:46 a.m., arriving early for a conference, when a masked man allegedly waiting for him fired at him repeatedly and fled eastbound off 6th Avenue, police sources told The Post. Thompson was hit in the chest. He was rushed in critical condition to the Mt. Sinai Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, police said. Andrew Witty, CEO of parent company UnitedHealth Group, said the firm had been holding its Investor Day conference at the hotel on Wednesday, which Thompson was attending.

The conference was abruptly called off due to “a very serious medical situation” with one of its team members, Witty said in a statement. Officials said no arrests have been made yet and that the investigation is ongoing.

The suspect was described as a white male wearing a cream-colored jacket, black face mask, and black and white sneakers. Officials said he was carrying a gray backpack. Witnesses told The Post the suspect had been spotted near the vicinity of the hotel, on 6th Avenue, milling around. Sources said the shooter wasn’t a guest at the hotel but it is unclear if he had other business there.

When the suspect spotted Thompson, he began to fire from a distance, striking him multiple times, police sources added. The masked man then fled through the Ziegfeld alleyway and hopped on a bike to escape. Thompson, who had worked with UnitedHealth for the last 20 years, took the role of CEO in 2021 and was based at its offices in Minnetonka, Minnesota, according to his LinkedIn account.

“Brian’s experience, relationships and values make him especially well-suited to help UnitedHealthcare improve how health care works for consumers, physicians, employers, governments and our other partners, leading to continued and sustained long-term growth,” Witty said.

He lived in a five-bedroom home that he purchased in the North Star State in 2018 for $1 million, according to Zillow. He previously served as the company’s head of government programs, including Medicare and retirement. READ MORE
