Several people wrote to me about Alex Jones: never heard of him before I received a link. I asked my source and she did not know who he was. Robert wrote to me this about him:

I saw that you used Alex Jones as a source today, which I have to say
dismays me. I would strongly caution against considering him a trustworthy source of any information on any subject whatsoever. He has an almost cult-like
