@PrivateEyeNews have a wonderfully brutal review of shit-stirring far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’s book, 'The Great Reset, & the War for the World!'

I’m not sure it will generate the $1.4 BILLION he’s been ordered to pay to parents of the #SandyHook shooting.

I quote the review in full:

According to Alex Jones, gravel-voiced conspiracy-monger, the world is facing a "Great Reset". That reset is, he writes, an attempt by a shady cabal of internationalists "to achieve an unprecedented amount of control over your daily life."

To make sure he has the reader's undivided attention, Jones warns that the whole thing "is a war to control the future of human development & capture control of the human species.

These evil internationalists according to Jones, a group of technocrats & money men who have swilled around the for the last 80 or so. These evil plotters have names such as Kissinger, Rockefeller, Yuval Noah Hariri & Soros (& yes, there is an unfortunate pattern to those names).

Between them, these men have spawned and sustained a new global elite, at the centre of which is the World Economic Forum at Davos.

For anyone lucky enough to be invited, Davos is essentially a piss-up in a posh ski resort. Jones's view is somewhat different.

The man who runs the thing, Karl Schwab, may look like a common-or- garden egg head but, we learn, he is in fact a very evil egg-head, bent on global destruction.

"Schwab and his Davos gang are interested in wiping out every one of the previously existing social structures that have guided the development of countries and nations," says Jones.

He quotes from a Schwab book, singling out a passing reference to more agile forms of governance. Jones is sent into a horrified tizzy. "What are these 'more agile forms of governance'?" he demands to know. "Summary execution by firing squad without the benefit of a trial?"

The globalists have no moral. centre, says Jones, and seeing as "God was the original insurrectionist", it is up to every decent, freedom-loving citizen to stand up to the evil Davos cabal.

They will take away your cars and your petrol, restrict your food supply, invent fake pandemics, lock you in your home, turn all money into digital tokens so your bank accounts. can be frozen and oh but this book is just so exhausting. So, so exhausting.

If you've not heard of Jones, lucky you. A preposterous ranter, Jones is from the internet’s nether regions. Essentially a man with a website-the idiotically named "Infowars”-he's made his reputation by parping out a vast, toxic guff-cloud of paranoid nonsense about lefty plots.

This book is a distilled version of his bizarre world view, in which every government employee is a Hitler. who wants to improve anyone society is a fascist and our future will consist of "Karl Shwab, or his downloaded brain, giving us all orders from his laptop.

Jones then, is a maniac. As nice as it would be to pull the lever & flush him into the septic talk of history, he is not so easy to dismiss.

A glimpse at the back cover of this book reveals a set of glowing endorsements. "If Alex Jones is just a crackpot," one reads, "why are the most powerful people in the country trying to silence him?" It continues: "Maybe Alex Jones is onto something."

That glowing endorsement comes from Tucker Carlson, the star turn on Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News. Jones, you see, has powerful fans who've noticed the sizeable, Trumpy audience he's built. They want to keep him onside.

The quote now somewhat looks embarrassing for Tucker Carlson & rupert Murdoch. For years, Jones promoted a vile conspiracy theory that the Sandy Hook shooting, during which 26 people were murdered, most of them small children, had been faked.

The grieving parents were actors, he said, and the whole thing had been staged to justify a left-wing attack on people's gun rights. The parents sued and won.

The court ordered Jones to pay damages of $1.4 billion. That amount could rise further.

So Alex, it turns out, is not "onto something", and no one in their right mind should touch him, his website or this book with a bargepole. But this deranged nonsense does serve one purpose. It is a warning.

The Americans are in the midst of a culture war, stoked by odious loudmouths like Jones and his buddy Carlson. The results include an increase in social division, the 6 January Capitol riots and a delusional young man attacking Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer.

There are people in the current Westminster government, and on Fleet Street, who have flirted with the culture war - some even whipping off their undies and hopping straight into bed with it.

But as this book makes clear, culture war, with its "us-and-them" rhetoric, is an attack on the stuff that holds societies together.

As someone once nearly said: trying to win at culture war is like trying to win an earthquake. Britain should steer well clear.
