Alex Jones, the creator of Infowars.com, a popular radio show and Internet site that peddles in right-wing conspiracy theories, sits down for a BBQ lunch with the journalist. Like other once fringe right-wing organizations including Breitbart News, Gateway Pundit and LifeZette, Infowars.com has good access to the White House. "Trump and I have talked several times since the election -- about freedom and our common goal to destroy our enemies," he told SPIEGEL.
Jones poses in front of an image of a recent cover of DER SPIEGEL. He calls his Austin, Texas, studio the "Central Texan Command Center and Heart of the Resistance."
His studios are decorated with portraits of Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. Jones and the new president both love raw emotion and breaking taboos, and they hate the big media companies and TV networks, along with the Republican establishment. "We are two saints of the same zeitgeist," says Jones.
