comments. ..this tragedy and this murder didn t happen and that jesse wasn t killed. people accused myself and others of being crisis actors, fake, phony. in court, alexjones admitted he was wrong, conceding that the killings were real. i truly, when i said those statements when i say something, i mean it that i really could believe that it was totally staged at that point. the founder of the infowars website had portrayed the case as an attack on his right to free speech, butjones also said blamed the media for, as he saw it, not allowing him to retract his false claim. it s100% real, and the media still ran with lies that i was saying it wasn t real. it s incredible. they won t let me take it back. theyjust want to keep me in the position of being
