Alex Jones says Trump UFO files a 'psyop to screw with everybody’s brains'

On Thursday, among the big news of the day was the release of previously classified Pentagon files relating to UFOs and extraterrestrial life. The public is still sifting through it, flooding social media with videos of unexplained flying balls and the weird things seen by Apollo astronauts. All manner of explanations have been offered, such as Representative Lauren Boebert’s (R-CO) assertion that the aliens are actually fallen angels. Not to be outdone, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has waded into the discussion, claiming that President Donald Trump released the files as part of a “psyop to screw with people’s brains.”

According to Jones, the “so-called UFO-alien disclosure” represents the culmination of years of planning, over the course of which U.S. intelligence agencies have been spreading “disinformation,” “putting out rabbit trails that go nowhere,” and “obscuring what’s really happening.” So what, in Jones’ estimation, is really happening?

“Now they’ve got these government-controlled pastors under an FBI program called InfraGard connected to NASA and the CIA,” claims Jones. “They’re going around and saying, ‘I’m a pastor that works with intelligence agencies, and the aliens are real and you need to get ready to have your faith shaken about the Bible and Jesus.' This is a larger psyop just to screw with everybody’s brains and further shake confidence in society. That is 100 percent what’s going on here. And they’re setting the precedent to do a false flag and say that it’s aliens. For years it’s been known as Bluebeam, meaning a fake alien invasion.”

Jones — a former ally of President Donald Trump — has infamously proven his enthusiasm for far-out false flag theories. In this case, he says, “It’s a way to divert the public from Epstein, divert the public from Iran war not going the way Trump wanted, divert the public away from all these other scandals.”

Calling the UFO files a “nothingburger,” Jones suggests another link to the Epstein case, arguing that, as with the Epstein files, the government is still withholding the vast majority of alien evidence.

“This is a slap in the face. A disgusting insult,” declared Jones. “It shows the methodology and the mindset of the people who did the same things with the Epstein files until the public forced Congress to release 3 million files.”

At the same time, Jones took issue with Trump’s Wednesday assertion that, "If there's no ceasefire, you're gonna see one big glow coming out of Iran.”

“That’s a war crime,” noted Jones, who in recent months has had a high-profile falling out with the president. “This is a disaster.”
