His websites include Infowars.com and PrisonPlanet.com. As of January 2012, his Youtube channel, InfoWars, garnered over 250 million views.<br> <br> Mainstream sources have described Jones as a conservative, a right-wing, conspiracy theorist, and a libertarian. Jones describes himself as a libertarian and rejects being described as a right-winger. He has also called himself a paleoconservative and an "aggressive constitutionalist." Jones has been the center of many controversies, such as the one surrounding his actions and statements about gun control after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, and has accused the U.S. government of being involved in the Oklahoma City bombing and the September 11 attacks. Rolling Stone covers his belief that government and big business have colluded to create a New World Order through "manufactured economic crises, sophisticated surveillance tech and — above all — inside-job terror attacks that fuel exploitable hysteria."<br> <br> -- Wikipedia
