Jones is widely known as a [[conspiracy theorist]]. For example, he claimed the [[Sandy Hook massacre]] was a hoax, he called it synthetic, completely fake with actors, and manufactured, during a 2014 broadcast.<ref>https://www.inquisitr.com/5030612/alex-jones-said-hes-victim-of-sandy-hook-parents/</ref> Jones also produced two videos claiming the shooting was a "[[false flag]]" and a "fraud" and hosted articles about it on Infowars. This resulted in Jones' banning from [[Facebook]] and [[YouTube]]. Families of the victims have been allegedly subjected to online abuse and death threats from followers of Jones, claiming the families were actors in a government false flag operation.<ref>https://www.inquisitr.com/5030612/alex-jones-said-hes-victim-of-sandy-hook-parents/</ref> In response, the town committee stated that they were considering a written appeal to [[President Trump]], asking him to speak out against the conspiracy theorists<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-39194035#AlexJones Sandy Hook to Trump: 'Help us stop conspiracy theorists']. ''BBC News''. Retrieved June 14, 2017</ref>. Because of the alleged threats and harassment, the families of the massacre filed suit against Jones in 2018. On November 15, 2021, a Connecticut Judge ruled that Jones was guilty by default after he refused to hand over evidence ordered by the courts. <ref>https://www.forbes.com/sites/carlieporterfield/2021/11/15/conspiracy-theorist-alex-jones-loses-last-defamation-lawsuit-from-sandy-hook-parents/?sh=509f55031494</ref><ref>https://www.npr.org/2021/11/15/1055864452/alex-jones-found-liable-for-defamation-in-sandy-hook-hoax-case</ref> Jones later retracted his claims when questioned by one family's lawyer, stating that he did believe it happened, while still maintaining his questioning of the official narrative.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuqjmP959vo</ref>
Jones is widely known as a [[conspiracy theorist]]. He has made many documentary films shedding light on the government's corrupt and [[Satanic]] behavior, as well as their attempts to infringe on [[civil rights]].

Jones has declared himself a supporter of [[Israel]], but he has also previously made statements some deemed [[Antisemitic]]. During the 2017 [[Antifa]]/[[alt-right]] riots in Charlottesville, he claimed there were Jews posing as [[Ku Klux Klan]] followers in the rally: "I mean, quite frankly, I've been to these events, a lot of the KKK guys with their hats off look like they’re from the cast of ''[[Seinfeld]]''." In the same year, he also accused "the Jewish mafia" of supporting efforts to "derail the Trump presidency"<ref>https://www.jpost.com/International/The-anti-Jewish-pro-Israel-conspiracy-theorist-who-was-banned-by-Facebook-564247</ref>.

Jones neither agreed nor disagreed with his claims, but he pointed out the quantity of mechanical wreckage on Mars, said to have come from deactivated space probes. He then said,

==Malkin DNC Incident==
On August 26, 2008, at the DNC Convention in Denver, Jones and dozens of his followers surrounded [[Michelle Malkin]] and aggressively mobbed her. Video showed Alex pushing people close to Malkin<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQMgllS413Q Alex Jones Leads Mob Against Michelle Malkin]</ref>. As she attempted to get to a position of safety, Jones was overheard shouting "Get Michelle Malkin!" "Don't let her leave!" "Where is that monster!?!" and accusing her of being a part of the [[New World Order]]. She was repeatedly chased by the mob, and Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit noted that death threats were issued at her during the course of these events<ref>[http://screwloosechange.blogspot.com/2008/08/alex-jones-harasses-michelle-malkin.html Alex Jones Harasses Michelle Malkin]</ref><ref>[https://pjmedia.com/blog/pjm-political-82708-the-revolution-will-be-televised-on-pjtv/ PJM Political 8/27/08: Michelle Malkin & Co.

On August 26, 2008, at the DNC Convention in Denver, Jones and dozens of his followers surrounded conservative commentator [[Michelle Malkin]], and aggressively mobbed her. Jones accused her of being a part of the [[New World Order]] and wanting to "put Americans in death camps" due to her 2004 book ''In Defense of Internment: The Case for 'Racial Profiling' in World War II and the War on Terror''.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQMgllS413Q Alex Jones Leads Mob Against Michelle Malkin]</ref> As she attempted to get to a position of safety, Jones was heard shouting "Get Michelle Malkin!

Malkin seems to have forgiven Jones since, defending him on Twitter after his censorship, along with [[Milo Yiannopoulos]], [[Laura Loomer]], and [[Gavin McInnes]]. Jones and Malkin both ally themselves closely with [[Nicholas J. Fuentes]].<ref>https://twitter.com/michellemalkin/status/1295484845787758592</ref>
