The Patriot Deception – The Disinformation Asset

1. false information that is intended to mislead, especially propaganda issued by a government organization to a rival power or the media.

Many have inquired as to why Alex Jones was not included in the Patriot Deception – Traitors exposé. There were several reasons but the simplest is that the characters revealed in that piece were ideologically aligned with Russia. Although Jones is openly assisting in this information warfare campaign, I don’t believe him to be an ideologue. I believe him to be an opportunist. This description does nothing to diminish the impact of his treason but it does place him in a different category than those mentioned previously.

The Patriot Deception series has been viewed by a wide audience that includes bloggers, political pundits, media personnel, politicians, and an assortment of military and intelligence personnel. Of course it has also been read by a large number of InfoWars fans and Kremlin junkies ranging from the Putin fan club types to actively involved disinformation agents of the Kremlin itself. As a result, there has been no shortage of trolls and Putin-lovers available to insult and attack me. In fact, they are now using my Twitter handle as a hashtag after blocking me so I wouldn’t be aware of their continued assault on my online acquaintances. I see them anyway. Mostly because they aren’t particularly intelligent people. What I find shocking is that the attacks primarily come from Americans, not Russians. Perhaps Russia’s American assets are more dedicated to their mission than their Russian counterparts?

Apparently, Jones and the InfoWars staff were also made aware of this series which prompted them to repost an older video in which Jones threatens to punch in the face anyone who calls him a Russian agent, something Jones pronounces as “Rooskie agent.” The InfoWars Facebook page reissued the short “Rooskie” video the day after The Patriot Deception – Introduction hit the web. The video itself existed because I am not the only person who has accused Jones of working in the interests of Russia. In fact, the accusations have existed for several years. I became aware of these previous pieces during my research for this series. Those previous accusations failed to gain traction, however, and the Patriot Movement within the United States has continued to blindly follow the propaganda issued by the Kremlin and perpetuated by Alex Jones and his staff.

I diligently searched for an out for Jones. Generously providing him with benefit of the doubt, I allowed for the possibility Jones was simply a fool, a puppet being manipulated by those behind the scenes at InfoWars, such as the characters described in my Traitors piece. I found no way of excusing him, however. I do not believe Jones is an idiot, something he would have to be in order to be duped so completely by the likes of Paul Joseph Watson and Kurt Nimmo. Although Jones is obviously not the brains behind the content found on InfoWars and Prison Planet, he is most certainly aware of his organization’s obvious slant toward mother Russia.
