Memoir goes inside Alex Jones' Infowars: 'It was nonsense, it was lies' : NPR

"We just happened to find a little stream that looked like it could be the Rio Grande," Owens says. "We said we were on the border. The reporter I was with simulated the beheading, walked across, and that's what we posted." 

 Owens says the video of the fake ISIS agent garnered a million views overnight...

Let’s talk about the guy who helped pass Arizona’s 1864 abortion law - The Washington Post

While Jones lived in Arizona, he was elected to represent Tucson in the 1st Arizona Territorial Legislative Assembly. And then, when that legislature convened in 1864, he was elected speaker of the House. 

And it was that legislature — the one Jones presided over in 1864, after he had already abandoned his first wife, and married a 12-year-old and was just weeks away from marrying a 15-year-old, though still a few years away from marrying a 14-year-old — it was that legislature that passed a law reading, "Every person who shall administer or cause to be administered or taken, any medicinal substances, or shall use or cause to be used any instruments whatever, with the intention to procure the miscarriage of any woman then being with child, and shall be thereof duly convicted, shall be punished by imprisonment in the Territorial prison for a term not less than two years nor more than five years."…

Trump lawyers say company being tyrannized in Les Misérables parallel | Donald Trump | The Guardian

Clifford Robert, an attorney representing Trump and his family, wrote in a court filing that the court-appointed monitor overseeing the embattled Trump Organization is a "Javert" figure – a reference to the main antagonist in Victor Hugo's 1862 novel Les Misérables and the musical it inspired – looking to maintain power over Trump and his company…

Steve Bannon and Alex Jones Have a Bizarre Conspiracy Theory About the Israel-Hamas War – Mother Jones

Bannon remains an important voice and strategist for the Trump right—and could well be advising Trump. His alliance with Jones is more evidence that this alt-right champion who co-founded Breitbart and went on to be a top Trump aide—before being indicted (twice) for fraud and hooking up with a fugitive Chinese tycoon recently indicted for fraud—has fallen completely into the world of conspiratorial nuttery…

‘We have to come to grips with history’: Robert P Jones on The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy

Jones examines that mythological origin story and its promised land. He spotlights the "Doctrine of Discovery", a little-known or understood series of 15th-century papal edicts asserting that European civilisation and western Christianity are superior to all other cultures, races and religions. For Jones, it is "a kind of Rosetta Stone for understanding the deep structure of the European political and religious worldviews we have inherited in this country". 

The initial edict, issued by Nicholas V in 1452, granted the Portuguese king Alfonso V the right to "invade, search out, capture, vanquish, and subdue all Saracens [Muslims] and pagans whatsoever, and other enemies of Christ wheresoever placed, and the kingdoms, dukedoms, principalities, dominions, possessions, and all movable and immovable goods whatsoever held and possessed by them and to reduce their persons to perpetual slavery". 

Jones says: "Then there's a series of these documents that get issued between 1452 and 1493, each of which build on this idea but essentially all say the same thing: that if the land is not occupied by Christian people – and that Christian identity is the thing that determines whether you have your own human rights or not – then the Christian kings and queens have the right to conquer those lands and take possession of everything that they can in the name of the state and the church."

Expelled Tennessee lawmaker Justin Jones: I was voted out for being 'an uppity Negro'

"I basically had a member call me an uppity Negro," Jones, who is Black, told MSNBC's Joy Reid after the 72-25 vote that expelled him. 

"It's not about me, but it's about the 78,000 people I represent," he added, noting his constituents would be disenfranchised because of his expulsion…
