Alex Jones' Dad Isn't Just His Dad

He's also not just the smartest boy in Texas and a CIA dentist

Alex Jones likes to present himself as a self-made man, but the more you analyze his business operations, the more it appears that his dad, David Jones, has likely been responsible for a lot more of it than Alex would like to admit.

When Alex lost all of the lawsuits against him, and it became clear that he was going to owe millions of dollars to the people he’d wronged, the supplement outlet Infowars Store was replaced by supplements from Dr. Jones Naturals. This was a transparent move to shield the supplement business from being subject to seizure by the courts or Alex’s creditors, and Dr. David Jones played an instrumental role in setting that up.

Even prior to this, David was involved with a business called PQPR, which solely did business with Alex’s company Free Speech Systems. PQPR would sell supplements to Free Speech Systems, which Alex would then sell through the Infowars Store, and it came out during Alex’s initial bankruptcy that his company owed PQPR $54 million. They had just mysteriously forgotten to pay PQPR for the past seven years. This debt “showed up three months after Jones lost an appeal in his bid to toss out the defamation lawsuits,” which is the definition of suspicious.

All of these actions happened after Alex was sued, but what can we learn about actions taken before the lawsuits, and how David Jones was in the mix?

Corsi Gets A Warning

On July 22, 2017, Infowars “D.C. Bureau Chief” Jerome Corsi received an email from a source:

At this point in time, it was becoming clear that Leonard Pozner was going to take action against people who were trying to profit off of his son’s murder, which included filing copyright strikes against channels on YouTube that misrepresented stories about him, or posted his image.

When Jerome Corsi received this email, he naturally passed this information along, but not to Alex. He sent this warning to David Jones, along with this commentary:

The fact that Corsi would send this email to Alex’s dad instead of Alex himself speaks volumes. It gives the strong impression that Corsi understood that David Jones was the person who could take this “credible threat” seriously and take the steps needed to create a “war chest.”

Relations between Corsi and Infowars as a whole would take a turn for the worse, culminating in Corsi being terminated, which led to him filing a lawsuit for defamation against Alex and a ton of his affiliated entities in 2021.

A particularly interesting claim was made in that lawsuit:

Jerome Corsi was a high-level employee at Infowars, and has every reason to know what the real hierarchy of power looked like. Prior to his time at Infowars, he was a columnist with WorldNetDaily, and had built up his own stature in the right-wing media world, thanks to his involvement in the Swift Boat attacks on John Kerry and the birth certificate attacks on Barack Obama. When he was hired by Infowars, he was not an entry-level guy, he was a franchise player in the misinformation space.

To be totally clear, Corsi’s lawsuit failed and much of what he alleged to be defamation by Alex and Roger Stone was not defamation, but was more in the territory of “shit talk,” but it is still notable who Corsi named in that lawsuit.

He sued Roger and Alex because they were the ones who said things about him. He sued Owen Shroyer because Shroyer was on air with them when these things were said, and it all happened on Shroyer’s show The War Room, which he co-hosted with Roger at the time. David Jones was sued, but had no on-air involvement with any of the statements made. It seems fairly clear that David was included because, from Corsi’s standpoint, he was in charge at Infowars and Free Speech Systems.

A Prior Lawsuit

This is not the only indication that Jerome Corsi has given that David Jones runs things at Infowars.

Corsi’s case against Alex (and all the rest) was thrown out in May 2021, but a few years prior, Corsi had pursued another case, this one against Robert Mueller and the Washington Post.

He alleged that the Mueller investigation was trying to coerce him into admitting that he was the middle-man between Roger Stone and Wikileaks, helping coordinate the release of the DNC, Hillary Clinton and John Podesta emails.

He claimed that the Mueller investigation had leaked information to the Washington Post, and reporter Manuel Roig-Franzia, which had been used to create an appearance that Infowars had been paying Corsi hush money. He had been fired by Infowars in June 2018, but the Washington Post had learned that he was still receiving $15,000 per month from the company in January 2019.

Corsi said that Franzia had called to ask about these payments on January 17, 2019, and that David Jones called Corsi the next day to tell him these payments were going to stop:

This lawsuit was filed on January 21, 2019, and the basic gist of it is that the Mueller investigation was misrepresenting Corsi’s connection to Roger Stone, and that misrepresentation was causing people like David Jones to stop paying him for a job that he hadn’t held for about seven months.

Days later, on January 25, Roger Stone was arrested, and Corsi would immediately change his tune. On January 27, he appeared on CNN with Jake Tapper and told him: “I know my motivation is to tell the truth. And I will affirm that what is in the indictment about me is accurate. And I will affirm that if asked to in court.” Keep in mind that “what is in the indictment” was that Corsi was the middle-man between Stone and Wikileaks.

Leaving all of that aside, it is clear from his 2019 lawsuit that Jerome Corsi viewed David Jones as a primary authority at Infowars. David Jones called him to cut off their financial arrangement, and there is no mention of Alex being involved.

Getting To The Point

With the information available right now, it is beyond my ability to say that Alex’s dad has been a primary driver of Infowars behind the scenes, but the circumstantial evidence that does exist would be absurd to ignore.

Just as it relates to Jerome Corsi, we have three data points indicating that he understands David Jones to be important to Infowars to the level of being its co-owner.

In 2017, when he was tipped off that Leonard Pozner was going to fight back against people misusing images of his son, Corsi sent a warning to David Jones that they needed to build a “war chest,” which David arguably went on to do with entities like PQPR and Dr. Jones Naturals.

In 2019, when Corsi was still being paid $15,000 a month to do nothing, it was David Jones who contacted him to end the arrangement.

In 2021, when Corsi sued Roger and Alex for defamation, he also sued David Jones as a co-owner of Infowars and Free Speech Systems.

Jerome Corsi is often full of shit and his stories are inconsistent, but it appears that one thing that he’s been curiously consistent about, from the times when he was friends with Infowars through the times he was their enemy, is that Alex Jones’ dad isn’t just Alex’s dad.
