UPDATE: NEVERMIND Can it be true? Alex Jones' YouTube Account to be shut down?

A tweet from Mr. Roid Rage that I will not embed on DU:


Alex Jones
‏Verified account @RealAlexJones

The Alex Jones channel with billions of views is frozen. We have been told it will be deleted tomorrow and all 33 thousands videos will be erased. We just set up this new page subscribe if you want to see what the SPLC wants censored...


There's a YouTube link in the tweet as well, haha.

UPDATE: Nevermind. As usual, the angry toad is full of shit.

I reached out to YouTube about this - it’s not true. Been informed there’s no plan to erase the channel tomorrow, as Jones says.


Just another fake crisis excuse to glom publicity and open an additional YT channel.

UPDATE UPDATE: More from Warzel:

Some more, according to YouTube:

YT DID tell Jones that advertisers reached out and asked to be removed from channel. But YT didnt tell Jones what he claims. Furthermore, YT says this isn’t even how the account termination process happens (getting advance warning)

and then there's the mystery of why the hell anyone takes anything Alex Jones says seriously.

The Burger King assembly line on conspiracy theorists.

I'm all for free speech but not hate speech and this guy is literally a fucking hate preacher. Hopefully they will also monitor and take down any future channels
