Bill Cooper was killed shortly after 9/11 after predicting it in advance. He also used to call out Alex Jones as a cointelpro agent. Alex Jones was unscathed and took Bill's market share in the truth community after his death.
Top tier researcher Matthew North disappeared in 2020 and is rumored to be dead. He did a lot of research looking into Jones and his shady buddies, actual cutting edge information dangerous to the establishment too. Jones keeps on going.
Max Igan had to escape Australia to continue his work and not go to prison. AJ continues to sit pretty in Austin, TX.
How much of a threat to the establishment could Jones really be if they didn't take him down yet? Answer, none whatsoever. As Matthew North & Bill Cooper pointed out, Jones is a traitor.
It's much deeper than a money making scheme. Look at who he brings on and their connections. He brings on intelligence assets, they push an agenda for groups behind the scenes. It isn't about money.
Agreed AJ is basically a poison pill - he covers topics with some truth but also makes himself so detestable that normies stay away from those topics. Its like guilt by association. Also bill hicks.
And what i mean by Bill Hicks is theres a pretty great conspiracy theory around the idea that the comedian BH became AJ after faking his death. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2fe8n4
