Trump Campaign Runs With Alex Jones Conspiracy Theory About Clinton "Earpiece" During NBC Forum

ERIC HANANOKI/Media Matters

Republican nominee Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is running with the Alex Jones-fueled conspiracy that Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton was fed answers through a secret earpiece while participating in NBC’s September 7 “Commander-in-Chief Forum.”

Infowars.com is run by Jones, a conspiracy theorist who believes the government was behind the 9/11 attacks and other national tragedies. Jones recently said he’s been advising Trump. Infowars posted a September 8 story headlined, “WAS HILLARY WEARING AN EARPIECE DURING LAST NIGHT’S PRESIDENTIAL FORUM?”

The piece, authored by Infowars writer Paul Joseph Watson, began: “Was Hillary Clinton wearing an earpiece during last night’s presidential forum? That’s the latest question swirling around the Internet after pictures appeared to show Hillary with some kind of flesh-colored device embedded inside her ear.” Watson added,  “Conservative actor James Woods drew attention the issue with the simple question, ‘Earpiece?’ and a close up image of Hillary from last night’s forum. ... 'She can’t even #lie without help from a gaggle of other #liars through an earpiece,' tweeted Woods.”

The Drudge Report, which has repeatedly mainstreamed absurd conspiracy theories about Clinton during the election, made the Infowars piece its top story with the headline, “HILLARY AND THE EAR PEARL.”

CNN reporter Brian Stelter tweeted in response to Drudge: “For the record, and I can't believe I even have to say this, NBC would not have permitted a ‘#HillaryEarPiece.’” A Clinton spokesperson stated: "There was no earpiece."

Alex Jones retweeted Watson’s article and the Drudge Report’s promotion of the piece.

Writer Joe Hoft at Gateway Pundit -- which is frequently linked to by Donald Trump -- headlined a blog post, “She Cheated! Crooked Hillary Wore Ear Piece During Last Night’s Veteran’s Forum.” (The post includes Joe Hoft falling for a fake Donald Trump account in claiming that “Donald Trump tweeted after the event” about the earpiece.)

Sean Hannity’s website ran a piece citing Gateway Pundit and headlined, “PHOTOS: Was Hillary Wearing An Earpiece At Last Night's Forum?” The piece, bylined “Hannity.com Staff,” stated: “Whether the device is Clinton's own communication device, something provided by NBC, or a hearing aid is unclear. It's also unknown as to whether such a device--if it is Clinton's own--would be a violation of the rules of yesterday's Commander-In-Chief forum.” (h/t Judd Legum.)

FoxNews.com posted a piece about the “earpiece,” writing that the “website True Pundit quoted unnamed New York police sources saying Clinton was wearing an ‘inductive earpiece’ during the NBC forum hosted by Matt Lauer. The website described the unit as the kind of tech used by stage actors in need of prompting to recite forgotten lines. Two senior campaign aides, though, told Fox News the report is absolutely not true.” The FoxNews.com piece was criticized by journalists on Twitter. 

The Trump campaign has also been pushing the conspiracy theory. Donald Trump Jr., who regularly promotesAlex Jones, tweeted: “Was Hillary Wearing an Earpiece During Last Night’s Presidential Forum? … via @realalexjones.”

Conservative commentator and Trump senior adviser A.J. Delgado tweeted early this morning and then later deleted: “It appears you were wearing an earpiece to feed you what to say during the forum, @HillaryClinton?? When will you stop cheating the public?” 

Delgado's Twitter account includes retweets promoting the earpiece claim from Trump Jr., Woods, and Infowars reporter Joe Biggs. 

Trump previously appeared on Jones’ conspiracy program and claimed the 9/11 truther has an “amazing” reputation. Trump adviser Roger Stone is also one of Jones’ most frequent guests. Trump campaign adviser Stephen Miller gave an interview to an Infowars reporter and praised Jones for being "on top" of the immigration issue. Jones, in turn, has been one of Trump’s biggest boosters and has claimed credit for influencing his campaign. Trump has repeatedly echoed Jones’ conspiracy theories during the campaign.

Alex Jones Explains How Government "Weather Weapon" Could Have Been Behind Oklahoma Tornado

BEN DIMIERO & OLIVER WILLIS/Media Matters For America

Conspiracy theorist radio host Alex Jones explained to his audience today how the government could have been behind the devastating May 20 tornado in Oklahoma.

On the May 21 edition of The Alex Jones Show, a caller asked Jones whether he was planning to cover how government technology may be behind a recent spate of sinkholes. After laying out how insurance companies use weather modification to avoid having to pay ski resorts for lack of snow, Jones said that "of course there's weather weapon stuff going on -- we had floods in Texas like fifteen years ago, killed thirty-something people in one night. Turned out it was the Air Force."   

Following a long tangent, Jones returned to the caller's subject. While he explained that "natural tornadoes" do exist and that he's not sure if a government "weather weapon" was involved in the Oklahoma disaster, Jones warned nonetheless that the government "can create and steer groups of tornadoes."

According to Jones, this possibility hinges on whether people spotted helicopters and small aircraft "in and around the clouds, spraying and doing things." He added, "if you saw that, you better bet your bottom dollar they did this, but who knows if they did. You know, that's the thing, we don't know."

In April, Jones garnered attention for labeling the Boston Marathon bombings a "false flag" event staged by the U.S. government. Over the years, Jones has endorsed a wide array of paranoid conspiracies, including alleging that the U.S. government carried out or was somehow involved in the 9-11 attacks, the Oklahoma City bombing, and recent mass shootings at the Sandy Hook Elementary school and the movie theater in Aurora, Colorado.

Despite his well-publicized career of pushing conspiracies, Jones is regularly validated by media figures and conservative politicians. Jones' biggest ally has been Matt Drudge, whose heavily trafficked Drudge Report website has linked to at least 244 different articles at Jones' Infowars website since April 2011.

In the midst of the controversy over Jones' comments about the Boston bombings, Drudge announced that he had "privately told friends" that 2013 would be the "year of Alex Jones." 

How Matt Drudge Serves As Alex Jones' Web Traffic Pipeline

BEN DIMIERO/Oliver Willis/Media Matters for America

Matt Drudge has long been conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' biggest ally. According to a Media Matters review, the heavily-trafficked Drudge Report has promoted at least 50 separate articles at Jones' Infowars website in 2013, and has linked to at least 244 different articles on the site in the past two years. 

Drudge announced this week that he had privately told friends that 2013 would be the "year of Alex Jones." Considering Drudge's penchant for promoting Jones and his Infowars website, those comments are more of a promise than a prediction.

Alex Jones is a radio host famous for pushing absurd conspiracy theories about a host of issues, including that the U.S. government perpetrated or was otherwise involved in the 9-11 attacks, the Sandy Hook elementary school massacre, the Oklahoma City bombing, the Space Shuttle Colombia disaster, and the Aurora movie theater shooting.

Jones has lately made headlines for his most recent conspiracy that the Boston Marathon bombings were a "false flag" attack staged by the government. Drudge has provided several links to Jones' site in the days since Jones started floating Boston conspiracies, including an article highlighting the father of the bombing suspects claiming his sons had been set up. 

The links to Jones' site in the wake of the Boston bombings are not surprising; he has sent a steady stream of traffic there in 2013.

Among the fifty Infowars pieces promoted by Drudge so far in 2013: a story mulling over claims that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez may have been "surreptitiously" given cancer, possibly by the U.S. government; numerous articles promoting conspiracies about supposedly ominous ammunition purchases made by the Department of Homeland Security; and a story comparing Obama to "other tyrants" -- including Stalin, Hitler, and Mao -- that have "used kids as props."

Drudge has been consistently linking to Jones' site for years (Drudge Report also features two permanent links to the Infowars mainpage). Among the 244 Infowars articles Drudge has promoted since April 2011:

• A November 2012 article promoting claims that James Holmes, the man currently on trial for the mass shooting at an Aurora, Colorado movie theater, may actually have been under the influence of CIA "mind control." The piece was based around a story told by an "alleged inmate" supposedly in jail with Holmes, who claimed Holmes told him he was "programmed" to kill by an "evil" therapist. 
• A July 2012 post highlighting an interview between Jones and Joseph Farah, editor of conspiracy website WND. During that interview, Farah suggested that if Obama were re-elected, people like him and Jones would be "hunted down like dogs."
• A March 2012 piece suggesting that the death of conservative publisher Andrew Breitbart may not have been the result of natural causes, but instead related to a "damning" video about President Obama Breitbart had supposedly planned to release the day of his death.  
• An April 2011 article responding to President Obama's release of his long-form birth certificate headlined, "New Obama Birth Certificate is a Forgery." The story states: "Our investigation of the purported Obama birth certificate released by Hawaiian authorities today reveals the document is a shoddily contrived hoax. Infowars.com computer specialists dismissed the document as a fraud soon after examining it."

A 2012 study by Think Progress found that in addition to frequently linking to Infowars, Drudge also regularly sends his readers to WND, a site best known for its promotion of conspiracies related to President Obama's birth certificate.  

Since Jones has started floating various nonsensical conspiracy theories about the Boston Marathon bombings, several conservatives have spoken out against Drudge's repeated promotion of the radio host.

Fox News contributor Erick Erickson, who is editor-in-chief of the influential Red State blog, tweeted on April 18, "I hope Drudge stops linking to infowars." Responding to Erickson's tweet, fellow Fox News contributor Jebediah Bila echoed his concern, adding that she had "been saying this for months." On April 24, Red State editor Ben Howe joined the chorus, tweeting "I'd love it if Drudge Report stopped linking to Infowars."

Shortly after Drudge announced it would be the "year of Alex Jones," Jones returned the compliment, announcing that the conservative publisher was "breaking through the electronic Berlin Wall of globalist bullshit, as cowards do nothing!"

Jones has previously praised Drudge for helping push his work. In an interview for Rolling Stone with Alexander Zaitchik (now a reporter for Media Matters), Jones credited Drudge with helping to promote a 2010 campaign against the Transportation Security Administration:

In November, Jones put on a demonstration of his power by employing his latest guerrilla technique. Asking his audience to stage a mass online search of the phrase "Revolt Against TSA" -- a tactic known as Google Bombing -- Jones instantly manipulated the term to the top of Google's search index. As intended, the maneuver caught the sensitive traffic antennae of Matt Drudge, who put the TSA story on the national news agenda. "Our show was the detonator on the cap of the TSA story, and Drudge was the barrel of the gun," says Jones. "The result was a direct head shot on the New World Order."

Despite Jones' well-known history, Drudge is not the only right-wing figure that has played a role in validating him. Former Rep. Ron Paul and current Sen. Rand Paul; Fox News' Lou Dobbs and Andrew Napolitano; and gun activists like Ted Nugent and Larry Pratt have made repeated appearances on Jones' program in recent years.

Maddow: Right wing fringe is now a cynical money-making ‘racket’

By David Ferguson/Raw Story

Friday night on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show,” host Rachel Maddow discussed the elaborate money-making schemes dreamed up by the anti-government conspiracy theorists currently making a living off of conservative Americans’ fears about the Obama administration.

There is, for example, the Info Wars dating service.

“If you like Info Wars which is a show hosted by Alex Jones,” Maddow said, “If you like Glenn Beck and Alex Jones who says we faked the moon landing and that 9/11 was an elaborate hoax and that it was secretly the White House that bombed the Boston Marathon, Michelle Obama was in on it and there was no massacre at Sandy Hook, they were hoaxes, if you are one of those folks, a conspiracy theorist who believes in the Glenn Beck-Alex Jones view of the world, well, that doesn’t mean you don’t need love.”

Hence the prank Twitter hash tag that appeared late this week, #InfoWarsPickupLines, which featured romantic opening salvos for conspiracy-minded singles on the make like “How about we get illuminaughty and you show me your nude world order?” and “I’d like to shoot all over your grassy knoll, if you know what I mean….” or “What’s your sign? Mine is ‘Trespassers shot on sight.’”

But it doesn’t stop with just dating services. Men like Alex Jones and Glenn Beck, said Maddow, are monetizing their fame in any way they can. If you’re already in a relationship and don’t need Info Wars dating, you can still buy some Glenn Beck pants or some Rush Limbaugh iced tea.

Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), who Maddow “has always counted on the conspiracy theorists to be part of his base,” has now left Congress and decided to get back in bed with the right wing fringe. Friday, he appeared on Alex Jones’ radio show.

“Remember,” Maddow said, “the chief Alex Jones conspiracy theory right now is that the White House bombed the Boston Marathon. The government did it as a false flag attack as part of a New World Order conspiracy involving Marxism and fascism and helicopters and something about Mexico.”

“Honestly,” she confessed. “I got lost trying to figure it out.”

The whole business seems more and more like an elaborate scam, she said.

“These guys have a good racket going and they have all been in the racket for decades,” she continued. “You know, it’s always the end of the world but not quite yet. Subscribe for one more month, because then it will be the end of the world, only $19.95 and yes, you can pay in gold.”

It’s one thing for us to point and laugh at it on the internet, but what do you do when it’s “your personal sadness that your crazy uncle sends Glenn Beck part of his Social Security check each month because he’s terrified?”

Or when U.S. lawmakers start to attempt to legislate from the conspiracy-monger perspective?

Glenn Beck: Piers Morgan making gun advocates look crazy like Alex Jones

By Eric W. Dolan/Raw Story

Conservative radio host Glenn Beck complained Tuesday that CNN’s Piers Morgan was portraying gun rights advocates as crazed maniacs by inviting Alex Jones on his show.

“Piers Morgan is trying to have gun control,” Beck said. “He is trying to make everybody who has guns and who believes the Second Amendment to be a deterrent to an out of control government look like a madman. So now he immediately books the madman and makes him look like a conservative.”

During the interview on Monday night, Jones berated Morgan for nearly 15 minutes. Jones warned “1776 will commence again” if anyone tries to take Americans guns and told Morgan he was a “hatchet man of the New World Order.” At one point, Jones even challenged Morgan to a boxing match.

Beck insisted that Jones was not a conservative. He described Jones as “spooky” and said the conspiracy theorist had built “a mountain of deceit.”

Beck explained that the media was trying to make it look as if every conservative who opposed gun control was crazy like Jones. He said the media had tried a similar tactic with Ted Nugent, but failed because Nugent was “way too smart” and “charming.”

“CNN and Piers Morgan is not stating your best interest. They do not — he does not understand nor does he condone the Second Amendment. He doesn’t understand the founding of our country. He is not for man ruling himself,” Beck remarked.

Drudge Promotes Story From Conspiracy Website Claiming Obama Plans To Murder Conservative Journalists

By Ali Gharib/Think Progress

The website Drudge Report, an aggregator that sends a massive amount of web traffic to stories linked on its pages, posted a report from the 9/11 Truther website InfoWars in which two of the nation’s leading right-wing conspiracy theorists Alex Jones with Joseph Farah discuss their paranoia about being attacked by the Obama administration.

In the interview, Farah said he saw a drone over his property in Northern Virginia and suggested that the Obama administration was targeting him. Here’s a screen capture of the Drudge link, with the words “Spy Drone Buzzes Journalist’s Secluded Home…” highlighted in red:

In the interview, Farah told Jones:

I live in one of the most rural places you could possibly live in Northern Virginia and there could only be one thing that this drone was spying on and that would be me, that would be my property. [...]

This is the first term. If [Obama] is re-elected, it’s going to be war. They will be openly at war. We will be hunted down like dogs.

(Listen to clips from the whole Jones radio interview with Farah here.)

Farah also mentioned another damaging right-wing conspiracy theory that vaccine programs are a dangerous and airport security patdowns as evidence of government “attempts to control us.” He went on:

This is where the resistance starts. Because this is part of conditioning for what is really the ened game for them…

It’s everything our founding fathers fought against. And we gotta be like our founding fathers all over again. And the only question in my mind is whether we have the fearlessness, the courage and the conviction that they had to do that.

When the Romney campaign recently outlined its strategy to ignore mainstream media and work its message through right-wing websites, Drudge was at the top of the list. ThinkProgressnoted at the time that Drudge has a history of promoting Birtherism and Jones’s 9/11 Truther website InfoWars.

But it’s hard to keep track of the dizzying number of conspiracy theories Alex Jones and Joseph Farah can expound upon in one ten-minute interview. What’s most remarkable is that Mitt Romney’s favorite news aggregator linked to it. (HT: Michael C. Moynihan)

Conspiracy Theorist Alex Jones Rallies For Frequent Guest Ron Paul

by Eric Hananoki/Media Matters

Though Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul has received scorn from some in the media, he can count on a loud -- and toxic -- supporter: radio host Alex Jones, one of the country's leading conspiracy theorists and promoters of the claim that 9-11 was an inside job.

The Alex Jones Show and Jones' website Infowars.com have turned into a virtual get out the vote organization for Paul's campaign. Jones has repeatedly urged followers to donate, volunteer and vote for Paul. Jones' attention isn't a one-way street: Paul has appeared on Jones' radio program at least thirteen times since the beginning of 2010 and said he relies on shows like Jones' to "get the truth out."

Jones describes himself as "one of the very first founding fathers of the 9-11 Truth Movement." Jones also subscribes to a wide assortment of conspiracy theories about global elites enacting one-world government; secret FEMA camps; weather control; mass sterilization; the Oklahoma City bombing; the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster; vaccines; and the government using productslike juice boxes to "encourage homosexuality with chemicals so that people don't have children."

The radio host has declared that Obama's birth certificate is a fraud. Jones also wrote, produced and directed the DVD The Obama Deception, which purports to show that the "Obama phenomenon is a hoax carefully crafted by the captains of the New World Order. He is being pushed as savior in an attempt to con the American people into accepting global slavery."

Despite Jones' radical conspiracy theories, Paul has appeared on Jones' program since 1996. In 2007, Jones donated $1,000 to Paul's 2007 presidential campaign. New York magazine reported that Jones is a "longtime friend" of Paul and he "takes some credit for Paul's rise to prominence, calling his radio show 'part of the concrete slab that the Ron Paul rocket is fueling on.'"

Jones is also a "dear friend" of Fox News senior judicial analyst and fellow 9-11 conspiracy theoristAndrew Napolitano. Napolitano regularly hosts Paul on his Fox Business program and gives himfavorable coverage. Napolitano was a guest speaker at a Paul fundraiser in 2009.

FREQUENT JONES GUEST

Ron Paul has been a regular guest on The Alex Jones Show. Paul has appeared on the show at least thirteen times since the start of 2010, according to a Media Matters search.* (Appearances: December 13, 2011; August 31, 2011; June 28, 2011; April 5, 2011; January 21, 2011; November 23, 2010;October 8, 2010; August 18, 2010; July 1, 2010; May 26, 2010; April 5, 2010; March 4, 2010;January 7, 2010.)

After he interviewed Paul on March 4, 2010, Jones said he's "honored that I've been interviewing him since 1996." In a March 27 New York profile, Joe Hagan reported of the relationship between Jones and Paul:

Alex Jones has been broadcasting since the mid-nineties, when Ron Paul, during a run for Congress in 1996, became a frequent guest. Jones takes some credit for Paul's rise to prominence, calling his radio show "part of the concrete slab that the Ron Paul rocket is fueling on."

Paul doesn't embrace the full Jones package, of course. And Jones's views have grown to include conspiracy theories from the left as well--he's a crossover artist. "They blew it up, period!" he barks, speaking of the Twin Towers. "The hijackers were trained at U.S. military bases! They were part of drills! They nerve-gassed them onboard the aircraft! They flew the damn planes into the buildings!

"I mean, the point is, you start trying to go over the evidence of 9/11, it will make your mind melt down if you actually sat there with the endless documented facts," he continues.

During a June 28, 2011, interview, Jones asked Paul about the media pulling "dirty tricks" against him. Paul responded, in part, that he relies on people like Jones to "help get the truth out."

ENDORSEMENT / PRAISE

Alex Jones has repeatedly praised and backed Ron Paul's presidential bid on his radio show. Jones is also the publisher and director of Infowars.com, which has posted numerous pieces praising Paul's policy positions and explicitly encouraging readers to support his campaign.

In 2009, Jones started an effort to draft Paul to run for president again in 2012. Jones' Infowarsshop.com sold t-shirts with the words "Draft Ron Paul 2012" and pointing to Infowars.com.

During a January 21, 2011, interview, Jones told Paul he's "drafting you right here" and if he runs, "you've got my full support of our millions of listeners.":

JONES: I don't think you have any choice but to run for president. And, or bare minimum Senate. And it is your destiny, Congressman Ron Paul. You're almost forty years of standing up for liberty. And, so I'm drafting you right here and I know my listeners are. And if your health holds up -- you've taken care of yourself. Barring that, I just hope and pray, sir, that you do run for president. And I think the sooner you announce, the better, so we can get the money and the energy and the grassroots behind you. And I want you to know you've got my full support of our millions of listeners.

In a December 20, 2011, video, Jones told followers that Paul is "the only one who isn't a carbon taxing, open border promoting, Obama socialist healthcare loving globalist like Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, and others. Or for that matter Rick Perry."

On the day of the Iowa caucuses, Infowars.com posted articles encouraging readers to "vote for Ron Paul" in a Drudge Report poll and ran a video showing why "Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who will follow and defend the Constitution. The other guys only say they will."

Jones' Infowarsshop.com sells a t-shirt endorsing Ron Paul:

Infowars.com regularly highlights stories favorable to Paul, and defends him from attacks by the media and other politicians. Recent articles include such headlines as "Gingrich-Linked Propagandist Recycles Debunked 'Racist' Ron Paul Smear"; "NY Times Attacks Ron Paul For Living in the Real World"; "Iowa Outcome Ideal for Ron Paul"; "CNN Deliberate Insider Hit Job on Ron Paul"; "Ron Paul Doubles Vote Tally, Captures Equal Number of Delegates As Romney & Santorum"; and "Ron Paul is in The Fight of His Life, We Must Stand With Him!"

FUNDRAISING

Infowars.com has implored readers "to donate as much as they can afford to Paul's campaign today." For example:

• A December 8 Infowars.com article stated: "Now has never been a more important time to get behind Ron Paul's 2012 presidential campaign, and we encourage all our readers to donate either before or on the day of the next scheduled money bomb by visiting http://www.ronpaul2012.com/." The same message was sent to subscribers of Infowars' email newsletter on December 7.

• A December 16 Infowars.com article asked readers "to donate as much as they can afford to Paul's campaign today. In just over two weeks 2011 will be over and all supporters will be eligible to give up to another $2,500 in 2012. Go to the Ron Paul 2012 website to donate now."
• A December 16 Infowars.com article asked readers to "help make this year's Tea Party Day Moneybomb a success" and linked to a Ron Paul campaign donation page.

Jones has regularly fundraised for Paul while he's appeared on his show. For instance:  

• On April 5, 2011, Jones told Paul that the "day you announce we're going to try to setup a money bomb."
• During a June 28, 2011, interview, Jones told Paul he has "a good chance" of becoming president and said, "we've got to supercharge your campaign." Jones later asked Paul, "what can they do to be part of this second American revolution, or the restoration of the Republic? Give us the orders from the headquarters. What do we do to supercharge a campaign that's already on fire?" Jones later asked, "And when's the next money bomb? And folks can give right now at RonPaul2012.com."
• During an August 31, 2011, interview, Jones told his listeners to "donate at RonPaul2012.com, knock on doors, get involved in your party precincts, become a delegate. Ron Paul can win and will win if we get behind him."
• On December 13, 2011, Jones reminded listeners to get active for Paul: "RonPaul2012.com. It is absolutely essential, obviously, everybody go out and get ready to try to be delegates, everybody hit the ground in Iowa. I know I have family who's actually gone to Iowa, so there is a massive grassroots operation. All the different ways people can get involved are at RonPaul2010.com." Jones later said that "now is the time for the maximum effort. And certainly, I'm glad you ran again, look at the incredible effect you and others have had since your last run four years ago. You've got a real shot if people believe and take action."

*Because a complete guest archive for The Alex Jones Show does not appear to exist online, Media Matters searched available resources such as Jones' YouTube page, Alex Jones websites (unofficial and official), and RonPaul.com (an unofficial supporter page).
