The release of the UFO files won’t satisfy conspiracy theorists – but it certainly serves Trump’s agenda | Daniel Lavelle

If there’s no proof of aliens, the president can blame the deep state. If there’s proof, he’s a hero. Either way, it helps his popularity

The US Department of Defense released the first batch of its UFO files last week at the direction of the president, Donald Trump, who promised to make them public “based on the tremendous interest shown”.

Trump’s right, of course. Nearly half of Americans believe aliens have visited Earth, and many believe that the government is hoarding the evidence in some shadowy laboratory or military base. This conspiracy began in 1947 at Roswell, New Mexico, when the Roswell army airfield issued a news release about the crash of a “flying disc”, and has never truly gone away.

An Infowars insider on the warped world of Alex Jones – podcast

As the satirical online newspaper the Onion waits for court approval to take over the conspiracy website Infowars, Helen Pidd speaks to a former staff member about its sinister rise and dramatic fall

Alex Jones is known as the US far-right conspiracist who has been peddling misinformation and dangerous lies on his site, Infowars. For years in his early 20s, Josh Owens worked for him, accepting his point of view. “Jones made the world seem exciting,” Owens tells Helen Pidd.

In 2012, a gunman walked into Sandy Hook elementary school in Connecticut and killed 20 children and six adults. It prompted probably the most serious conversation the US had ever had about gun control. But Jones used it as fodder on his site. The children were alive, he said, the grieving parents were actors. The whole thing was a government plot to take away people’s guns.

Press dinner shooting conspiracy theories spread in era of fractured politics

Neither political party is immune to conspiracy theories in a time of intense distrust in government and media, experts say

After an armed man attempted to breach the ballroom where Donald Trump was set to speak to White House journalists on Saturday, conspiracy theories immediately spread about whether the event was staged.

The rhetoric has become a common refrain from both sides of the aisle in an era of deeply fractured politics and intense distrust in political institutions and media, and in the president himself.

Conspiracy theory over UFOs and missing scientists spreads from web to White House

Claim of nefarious plot draws attention of lawmakers and president – but are disappearances and deaths really linked?

Are the disappearances or deaths of at least 11 US scientists, each allegedly connected in some way to space, defense and nuclear research, really linked in a nefarious plot: one that involves the Chinese or other state enemies, or possibly links back to UFOs?

A conspiracy theory positing exactly that has roared through sections of the US population in recent weeks, spreading rapidly from the internet into rightwing media and hence into the mainstream press and prompting an inquiry from Congress and questions from Donald Trump.

Ex-Alex Jones employee reflects on job at Infowars: ‘It was nonsense. It was lies’

Former Infowars video editor and field producer spoke on his experience working on the show in an NPR interview

A former video editor and field producer for Alex Jones’s Infowars has said his work for the notorious conspiracy theorist was “nonsense” and “lies”, but he kept at it for four years in his 20s because the far-right media company’s founder was a magnetic presence and it earned him good money.

Josh Owens made those revealing remarks in an NPR interview published on Tuesday promoting his new memoir about once having been an employee of Jones and Infowars – a conversation that also detailed the hand he said he had in fabricating a video of an operative of the Islamic State (IS) terror group sneaking into the US from Mexico immediately after a beheading.

The ‘Jim Carrey is a clone’ theory is absurd. Of course people believe it | Dave Schilling

Conspiracy claims have erupted over the star’s appearance. These days, I can’t blame people for endless skepticism

Last week, my ex-wife texted me. She usually does that when my son falls off his skateboard or learns a new expletive to say on the playground. This time was different. “Have you seen Jim Carrey?” she asked, apropos of nothing we had discussed previously. It was as if she was asking me if I’d seen her misplaced keys.

“No, I have not seen Jim Carrey. Have you looked under the couch?” I replied.
