rightwingwatch--2020-08-03--Alex Jones Tells His Listeners to Get Ready to Die in Fight Against New World Order

Right-wing conspiracy monger Alex Jones said last Wednesday that his years-old warnings about a globalist “ New World Order ” takeover of the United States were coming true , so his listeners should try to overcome their fear of death and be ready to “ kill as many of them as quickly as possible ” —in a “ defensive ” way , he added .
Issuing his latest conspiracy theory from behind an Infowars news desk displaying military style rifles , Jones told listeners of “ The Alex Jones Show ” that his outlet had “ confirmed ” that “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ explosives and weapons and trucks loaded with ammonium nitrate and just chlorine gas—everything ” and are preparing to murder government officials and right-wing talk show hosts .
Jones cautioned listeners to avoid “ jumping first ” at the supposed threat but said they should be ready to start killing people .
“ I want to avoid confrontation .
I don ’ t need to put that on my belt that—I mean , I don ’ t even want to kill these globalists , ” Jones said .
“ But if they want to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do in a defensive way is kill as many of them as quickly as possible .
Again , the media will misquote that .
I don ’ t want to offensively kill anybody .
But I ’ m not going to take this , OK ?
” Jones recommended that people start taking down names and making a list “ like Santa Claus ” and to “ just think about the future.
” “ If they take down your country , if they destroy your bank account , they murder a bunch of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do ?
Because you always talked about when the New World Order came in and when the U.N. did this , you were going to go out and shoot folks in blue helmets .
They don ’ t wear blue helmets .
They show up in black uniforms and burn down your local courthouse and overthrow your government , run your life , ” Jones said .
“ And once they get control of your police , those officers are programmed robots now , they ’ ll follow orders to come after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ have a civil war with the cops , even if they ’ re captured and cowards and bad people , some of them , ” but rather to wage their war against academics and “ the establishment perverts and pedophiles that run it.
” “ If you ’ re running a war , you kill high-value targets , and that means the leadership of the New World Order , ” Jones said .
Jones told his listeners that they need to mentally prepare themselves to die for the cause .
“ I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tough .
As men , we have to decide we ’ re dead already .
It ’ s easy .
You ’ ll never be freer to the point you ’ re ready to die .
Just get over it .
It ’ s not a big deal , ” Jones said .
“ The enemy is not the loser meth-head playing video games that is told by the media and given $ 100 per day to go out and do this .
They ’ re not the target .
You do nothing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t want you to kill anybody right now .
But I want you to understand where they ’ ve taken us and what they ’ ve done and that every single globalist New World Order operative at an executive level is an enemy combatant of humanity.
” “ Now is not the time , ” Jones said .
“ You ’ ll know the time.
” In 2015 , then-candidate Donald Trump appeared on Infowars with Jones and told the far-right radio host that his “ reputation is amazing.
” “ I will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be very , very impressed , I hope , ” Trump said to Jones .
“ I think we ’ ll be speaking a lot , but you ’ ll be looking to me in a year or two years , let ’ s give me a little bit of time to run things , but a year into office , you ’ ll be saying , ‘ Wow , I remember that interview , he said he was going to do it , and he did a great job .

Right-wing conspiracy monger Alex Jones said last Wednesday that his years-old warnings about a globalist “New World Order” takeover of the United States were coming true, so his listeners should try to overcome their fear of death and be ready to “kill as many of them as quickly as possible”—in a “defensive” way, he added.
Issuing his latest conspiracy theory from behind an Infowars news desk displaying military style rifles, Jones told listeners of “The Alex Jones Show” that his outlet had “confirmed” that “Maoists” in major cities have “explosives and weapons and trucks loaded with ammonium nitrate and just chlorine gas—everything” and are preparing to murder government officials and right-wing talk show hosts. Jones cautioned listeners to avoid “jumping first” at the supposed threat but said they should be ready to start killing people.
“I want to avoid confrontation. I don’t need to put that on my belt that—I mean, I don’t even want to kill these globalists,” Jones said. “But if they want to kill us, the best thing to do in a defensive way is kill as many of them as quickly as possible. Again, the media will misquote that. I don’t want to offensively kill anybody. But I’m not going to take this, OK?”
Jones recommended that people start taking down names and making a list “like Santa Claus” and to “just think about the future.”
“If they take down your country, if they destroy your bank account, they murder a bunch of patriot leaders, what are you going to do? Because you always talked about when the New World Order came in and when the U.N. did this, you were going to go out and shoot folks in blue helmets. They don’t wear blue helmets. They show up in black uniforms and burn down your local courthouse and overthrow your government, run your life,” Jones said. “And once they get control of your police, those officers are programmed robots now, they’ll follow orders to come after you.”
Jones told viewers not to “have a civil war with the cops, even if they’re captured and cowards and bad people, some of them,” but rather to wage their war against academics and “the establishment perverts and pedophiles that run it.”
“If you’re running a war, you kill high-value targets, and that means the leadership of the New World Order,” Jones said.
Jones told his listeners that they need to mentally prepare themselves to die for the cause.
“I don’t say that to act tough. As men, we have to decide we’re dead already. It’s easy. You’ll never be freer to the point you’re ready to die. Just get over it. It’s not a big deal,” Jones said. “The enemy is not the loser meth-head playing video games that is told by the media and given $100 per day to go out and do this. They’re not the target. You do nothing killing them, and I don’t want you to kill anybody right now. But I want you to understand where they’ve taken us and what they’ve done and that every single globalist New World Order operative at an executive level is an enemy combatant of humanity.”
“Now is not the time,” Jones said. “You’ll know the time.”

“I will not let you down. You will be very, very impressed, I hope,” Trump said to Jones. “I think we’ll be speaking a lot, but you’ll be looking to me in a year or two years, let’s give me a little bit of time to run things, but a year into office, you’ll be saying, ‘Wow, I remember that interview, he said he was going to do it, and he did a great job.’”


rightwingwatch--2020-08-03--Scott Lively Urges Christian Conservatives to Flee the ‘Democrat-Controlled Population Centers’

During Sunday ’ s “ Breaking News Bible Study ” program , which airs on radio station WETR in Knoxville , Tennessee , Trump loving radical anti-LGBTQ activist Scott Lively told conservative Christians to flee from areas controlled by Democrats because Democratic leaders are planning to burn down cities to escape paying out pensions to their police forces .
“ Why are the Democrats burning down their own cities ?
” Lively asked .
“ They ’ re setting up a scenario in which they ’ ve agitated and inflamed the Black community and then pitted them against the police @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the collapse of the cities , and they can discredit the police , so it ’ s easy to justify not paying them these exorbitant pensions that they ’ ve been negotiating.
” “ The white liberals who run this system are going to take the blame unless they can shift it onto somebody else , and that ’ s what they ’ re doing , ” he added .
“ They ’ re going to shift the blame onto the Blacks because they ’ re the ones that are on camera @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ] —a small percentage of the Black community , this is by no means the majority of Blacks , it is a small percentage—but Blacks are all collectively going to be taking responsibility and blame for the meltdown of the cities , which is inevitable at this point .
And the police are being delegitimized because there ’ s no possible way they ’ re going to be able to pay their pensions .
They might even come out at some point and say , ‘ We don ’ t consider ourselves obligated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ departments because they ’ re systemically racist , and they ’ re the ones that caused the Black community to rise up in rebellion against them . '
” “ This is all a setup , ” Lively added .
“ So if you ’ re living in one of those places , if you ’ re a conservative or you ’ re a Christian living in any of those places , get the heck out of there before it all collapses .
Because even if Trump gets elected , the worst chaos @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrat-controlled population centers .

In a post on Charisma Monday , Tomczak charged , “ Leftist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and heretical religious leaders are all being manipulated by demonic forces to try and thwart advancement of the gospel of the kingdom at the close of the age.
” He portrayed California ’ s restrictions on churches as “ a foreshadowing of what is coming the way of Christians in these end times prior to the return of Jesus Christ.

Wohl and Burkman have long @ @ @ @ @ @ @ smear their targets .
The two right-wing provocateurs tried to pay a woman to claim that Dr. Anthony Fauci had assaulted her .
They pulled the same stunt against special counsel Robert Mueller and Sen. Elizabeth Warren .
After the death of George Floyd , the two claimed to have created a fund , supposedly seeded with $ 25,000 , to pay the legal defense fees of the police officer who killed Floyd , Derek Chauvin .
A later tweet made clear that Corrigan knew exactly who she was dealing with , mentioning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Corrigan gave an exclusive interview to National File , a far-right conspiracy theory outlet closely affiliated with conspiracy monger Alex Jones ’ Infowars .
It is unclear what “ anti-Christian ” sentiment Corrigan plans to allege , especially since USAID often works with Christian organizations to carry out humanitarian and relief efforts around the world and has an dedicated office for fostering relationships with faith-based and community organizations .

The two right-wing provocateurs tried to pay a woman to claim that Dr. Anthony Fauci had assaulted her. They pulled the same stunt against special counsel Robert Mueller and Sen. Elizabeth Warren. After the death of George Floyd, the two claimed to have created a fund, supposedly seeded with $25,000, to pay the legal defense fees of the police officer who killed Floyd, Derek Chauvin.
A later tweet made clear that Corrigan knew exactly who she was dealing with, mentioning Burkman and Wohl by name. Additionally, Corrigan gave an exclusive interview to National File, a far-right conspiracy theory outlet closely affiliated with conspiracy monger Alex Jones’ Infowars.
It is unclear what “anti-Christian” sentiment Corrigan plans to allege, especially since USAID often works with Christian organizations to carry out humanitarian and relief efforts around the world and has an dedicated office for fostering relationships with faith-based and community organizations.
Corrigan was on the payroll of the Republican National Committee from 2016 to 2018. At the 2018 Conservative Political Action Conference, she was photographed by Reuters manning a Trump campaign merchandise booth.

In the July 26 episode of his “Breaking News Bible Study” radio show, Lively argued that churches should be completely exempt from public health restrictions, because he said the church is “a separate sovereign.”
The conversation between Lively and co-host Richard May covered a wide swatch of right-wing complaints. Among the topics of grievance Lively discussed were:
The mainstream press being “100 percent owned by the Marxists.”
“Marxist” New Deal programs and the Supreme Court’s shift, under political pressure, from rejecting to permitting those programs.

“This is ‘1984’ come to life” and conservatives are “living under fascism” and afraid to speak openly about their beliefs.
Lively said, “Political correctness has replaced the 10 Commandments as the moral code that everybody is expected to follow.” He explained:
The religion of Marxism is secular humanism. Political correctness is the moral code of secular humanism. And the narratives, the political narratives that all the lefties hold are the scripture that they follow. … They don’t even have to be told how to respond to things that are happening day by day in current events, because they just simply follow the scripture, which are the narratives.
The conversation turned to the effort to develop a vaccine against COVID-19 and Lively said that Liberty Counsel’s Mat Staver, who represented Lively in a lawsuit brought by gay-rights activists in Uganda, has said that all of the major companies competing to put out a vaccine are using “aborted baby cell lines.” Lively vowed, “I am not going to have aborted baby cell lines injected into my body.

Lively welcomed “gay activists and other hard lefties” who might be listening to him “so that you can attack me on Right Wing Watch and Joe My God and all these other reprobate platforms,” adding this message:

Trump Tells Conservative Catholics That Democrats Want to Shut Churches Down and Keep Them From Opening

In an interview with conservative Catholic television network EWTN Tuesday , President Donald Trump charged that Democrats “ want to put the churches out of business ” and “ never want them open.
” Trump ’ s charges were an explicit example of his campaign adopting religious-right rhetoric portraying liberals and Democrats as enemies of faith and freedom .
“ You have some states , I think they never want them open , ” Trump said .
“ They don ’ t want churches open .
Look , the Democrats , frankly , if you look at the radical left @ @ @ @ @ @ @ left now , they ’ ve gone radical left .
Whether you ’ re talking about life or whether you ’ re talking about almost anything , they ’ re not liking it .
They ’ re not liking it.
” The interview showcased Trump ’ s meandering style and obsession with promoting his own greatness .
Asked what could be done to stop a recent rash of vandalism against churches , Trump said it is not a problem in places with Republican governors and mayors , and he pivoted to a partisan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Well , what you need is you need the law enforcement .
It ’ s areas usually run by radical left Democrats .

rightwingwatch--2020-08-05--First Sessions, Now Kobach: ‘America First’ Candidates are Flopping at the Voting Booth

Far-right anti-immigration hardliner Kris Kobach lost the Kansas Republican Senate primary to Rep .
Roger Marshall by more than 50,000 votes , marking the latest defeat for far-right “ America First ” candidates at the ballot box .
In 2020 , several high-profile Republican candidates championed by far-right and white nationalist political activists have been rejected by their constituencies .
Right Wing Watch reported in January that white nationalists were excited by the prospect of Kobach , the former secretary of state of Kansas , serving in the Senate .
White nationalist podcaster James Allsup told listeners at the time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the upper house , in a position of power , as an anti-immigration , as an immigration restrictionist leader , that would be immensely powerful going forward.
” On Tuesday night the race was called , and the far-right activists who had supported Kobach ’ s bid mourned his electoral loss online .
Many “ America First ” white nationalist movement figures blamed the GOP for Kobach ’ s defeat .
“ Back to the hills .
Of course , we ’ ve been there before , ” Peter Brimelow , editor of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , said .
He added that it was “ annoying ” that far-right commentator Ann Coulter was right about President Donald Trump .
Coulter , once an avid supporter of Trump , has attacked the president in recent years and called Trump the “ most disloyal actual retard ” after he endorsed former Attorney General Jeff Sessions ’ Republican primary opponent Tommy Tuberville in Alabama .
“ Fuck the weak Kansas Republicans who are looking at this primary as a ‘ victory.
’ No matter what you ’ re electing a member of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and will continue to sell you out to our globalist elites , ” far-right Kansas State student Jaden McNeil said .
“ Enjoy your state ’ s continued degradation.
” Scott Greer , a former editor at The Daily Caller who was revealed to be writing alt-right columns under a pseudonym , only offered one comment on Kobach ’ s loss : “ Damn.
” White nationalist and alt-right poster boy Richard Spencer theorized that Kobach ’ s loss reflected the unpopularity of “ conservative nationalism.
” Spencer has been vocal in his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that overtook him in popularity and the flaws he sees in those ranks .
“ Steve King .
.
.
Jeff Sessions .
.
.
Kris Kobach .
.
.
then Donald Trump in November .
.
.
The ’ America First ’ conservatives and supposed ‘ immigration hawks ’ are falling like dominos , ” Spencer tweeted .
He later added , “ You can blame Trump ’ s tactical failures—and there are many—you can blame Jared and Ivanka , etc .
At some point you must conclude that conservative nationalism isn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s simply not very popular.
”  Joshua Foxworth , a Republican “ America First ” candidate in Texas who was trumped by incumbent Rep. Randy Weber in a blow-out loss in March , blamed Kobach ’ s loss on the media .
“ The loss of Kobach in Kansas is upsetting but not surprising , ” Foxworth said .
“ Almost no one can overcome a media that constantly promotes or opposes a candidate .
Deplatforming of supporters doesn ’ t help .
The GOP is in danger of becoming a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ base.
” But Kobach ’ s loss does not exist in a vacuum .
Other far-right supported candidates , like Sessions , Iowa Rep. Steve King , and Arizona former sheriff Joe Arpaio have seen their hopes for high office dashed .
Sessions ’ campaign attempted to earn the support of far-right and anti-immigration voters , going so far as to tap far-right columnist Michelle Malkin to author a fundraising letter in May .
Malkin made the play obvious , opening the letter by calling Sessions “ an old friend of the America @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , nursing a grudge against Sessions for recusing himself from the probe of Russian influence in the 2016 election , urged Republican voters to reject Sessions .
Last month , Sessions lost Alabama ’ s Republican runoff election to Tuberville by more than 100,000 votes .
King , who has a sordid history of racist remarks during his nine terms serving in the U.S. House , lost the Iowa Republican primary to Randy Feenstra by nearly 10 percentage points .
And in Arizona , former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is facing a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a race to get his old job back after receiving a pardon from Trump in 2017 .
( Arpaio was convicted of criminal contempt in going after undocumented immigrants . )
With 90 of 99 vote centers counted at the time of publication , Sheridan is shown slightly ahead .
Arpaio has not yet conceded the race .
William Gheen , president of the anti-immigrant Americans for Legal Immigration PAC mourned the loss of Sessions , Arpaio , Kobach , and King .
“ All four of America ’ s top illegal immigration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Kris Kobach , Jeff Sessions , and Rep. Steve King , ” Gheen said .
“ Who would have ever guessed after four years of Trump our top voices against illegal immigration would [ be ] gone.
” “ America First is inevitable , ” white nationalist and anti-Semitic podcaster Nick Fuentes declared on July 7 .
It would seem that it ’ s actually anything but .
However , these far-right losses at the ballot box are not indicators that extremism in the Republican Party is retreating , rather the opposite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far-right causes—like the “ America First ” movement—the defeats may prompt an exploration of options beyond electoral politics .
And while extremists gaining legislative power can have disastrous consequences for a democracy , history has shown that extremists seeking solutions outside of the political system can also prove to be dangerous.

Coulter, once an avid supporter of Trump, has attacked the president in recent years and called Trump the “most disloyal actual retard” after he endorsed former Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ Republican primary opponent Tommy Tuberville in Alabama.
“Fuck the weak Kansas Republicans who are looking at this primary as a ‘victory.’ No matter what you’re electing a member of the monoparty in November who hates you and will continue to sell you out to our globalist elites,” far-right Kansas State student Jaden McNeil said. “Enjoy your state’s continued degradation.”
Scott Greer, a former editor at The Daily Caller who was revealed to be writing alt-right columns under a pseudonym, only offered one comment on Kobach’s loss: “Damn.”
White nationalist and alt-right poster boy Richard Spencer theorized that Kobach’s loss reflected the unpopularity of “conservative nationalism.” Spencer has been vocal in his disdain for the elements of the far-right that overtook him in popularity and the flaws he sees in those ranks.
“Steve King . . . Jeff Sessions . . . Kris Kobach . . . then Donald Trump in November . . . The’America First’ conservatives and supposed ‘immigration hawks’ are falling like dominos,” Spencer tweeted. He later added, “You can blame Trump’s tactical failures—and there are many—you can blame Jared and Ivanka, etc. At some point you must conclude that conservative nationalism isn’t going anywhere, and it’s simply not very popular.”
Joshua Foxworth, a Republican “America First” candidate in Texas who was trumped by incumbent Rep. Randy Weber in a blow-out loss in March, blamed Kobach’s loss on the media.
“The loss of Kobach in Kansas is upsetting but not surprising,” Foxworth said. “Almost no one can overcome a media that constantly promotes or opposes a candidate. Deplatforming of supporters doesn’t help. The GOP is in danger of becoming a party without core issues and without a base.”
But Kobach’s loss does not exist in a vacuum. Other far-right supported candidates, like Sessions, Iowa Rep. Steve King, and Arizona former sheriff Joe Arpaio have seen their hopes for high office dashed.
Sessions’ campaign attempted to earn the support of far-right and anti-immigration voters, going so far as to tap far-right columnist Michelle Malkin to author a fundraising letter in May. Malkin made the play obvious, opening the letter by calling Sessions “an old friend of the America First movement.” But President Donald Trump, nursing a grudge against Sessions for recusing himself from the probe of Russian influence in the 2016 election, urged Republican voters to reject Sessions. Last month, Sessions lost Alabama’s Republican runoff election to Tuberville by more than 100,000 votes.
King, who has a sordid history of racist remarks during his nine terms serving in the U.S. House, lost the Iowa Republican primary to Randy Feenstra by nearly 10 percentage points.
And in Arizona, former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is facing a close contest against challenger Jerry Sheridan in a race to get his old job back after receiving a pardon from Trump in 2017. (Arpaio was convicted of criminal contempt in going after undocumented immigrants.) With 90 of 99 vote centers counted at the time of publication, Sheridan is shown slightly ahead. Arpaio has not yet conceded the race.
William Gheen, president of the anti-immigrant Americans for Legal Immigration PAC mourned the loss of Sessions, Arpaio, Kobach, and King.
“All four of America’s top illegal immigration fighters have fallen. Farewell Joe Arpaio, Kris Kobach, Jeff Sessions, and Rep. Steve King,” Gheen said. “ Who would have ever guessed after four years of Trump our top voices against illegal immigration would [be] gone.”
“America First is inevitable,” white nationalist and anti-Semitic podcaster Nick Fuentes declared on July 7.
It would seem that it’s actually anything but.
However, these far-right losses at the ballot box are not indicators that extremism in the Republican Party is retreating, rather the opposite appears to be true. For certain far-right causes—like the “America First” movement—the defeats may prompt an exploration of options beyond electoral politics. And while extremists gaining legislative power can have disastrous consequences for a democracy, history has shown that extremists seeking solutions outside of the political system can also prove to be dangerous.

White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller , who has a clearly demonstrated affinity for white nationalism , accused Democrats in Washington , D.C. , of supporting an agenda that would effectively institute “ modern-day fascism.
