    Alex Jones’ parents are members of the John Birch Society, and his dad not only helped Jones get InfoWars off the ground, he is also part owner of the trust that is the owner of Free Speech Systems (the parent company of InfoWars).

    That shit apple didn’t just not fall far from the shit tree, it fell straight fucking down.

      It’s less that I’m surprised and more I just never cared to look.

      If their ancestors knew they’d spawn those fuck faces; they’d have written evolution off as a bad idea and stayed in the trees.

        To quote Douglas Adams:

        and some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no-one should ever have left the oceans.

        Actually, Alex Jones believes that he IS his ancestors. How that’s supposed to work with at least one of his parents still alive, I have no idea 😄

          Generic memory. He lifted it straight from Dune specifically, though it’s a common enough trope.

          In Dune some have access to their parents’ memories up to the point of conception. At one point Paul is talking to his mother in real life and has his mother in his head at the same time.

            up to the point of conception

            So it cuts off right as your dad ejaculates? Or the fusion of the gametes to give rise to a zygote?

            Either way, too much erect dad penis in your memory, if you ask me 😬😆

              Presumably it cuts off at the moment your daddy’s balls manufacture the sperm cell, which would be a bit beforehand. But you still get all the memories of him at 13, furiously hogging the jergens in the bathroom while thinking about his cousin’s nip slip at Easter dinner or whatever.

                Knowing that, i now believe that a horror sex comedy Dune prequel is imperative 😂
