In a wild turn of events, far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones found himself in a chokehold during a podcast recording. The unexpected assailant? Australian jiu-jitsu star Craig Jones. The incident took place on the “El Segundo Podcast”, hosted by Craig Jones, a renowned martial artist. Alex Jones, known for his controversial views, made a peculiar request to be choked by the champion. Surprisingly, Craig Jones agreed and swiftly put Alex Jones in a chokehold.
The video footage captures the bizarre encounter as Craig Jones applies the chokehold. Alex Jones flails his hands in the air, uttering some unintelligible words, before dramatically collapsing back into his chair with his eyes rolling back. He remains unconscious for a few seconds, while Craig Jones can be seen laughing. Eventually, Alex Jones regains consciousness, clearly bewildered by what just happened.
This incident was not the first time Alex Jones expressed his desire to be choked on a podcast. In 2019, he asked American martial arts instructor Eddie Bravo to do the same during an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. However, Eddie Bravo declined the request. Alex Jones mentioned this previous attempt before asking Craig Jones to fulfill his wish.
The chokehold used, known as the rear naked choke, temporarily cuts off blood flow to the carotid artery, causing unconsciousness. While Craig Jones is a professional, it is important to note that this technique can be extremely dangerous if performed incorrectly or by an untrained individual, potentially leading to brain damage or even death.
Aside from this peculiar incident, Alex Jones is no stranger to controversy. He gained notoriety for claiming that the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school shooting was a hoax, resulting in civil defamation trials and hefty financial penalties. Despite being ordered to pay $1.5 billion in judgments to the victims’ families, Alex Jones has claimed he cannot afford to do so, while continuing to live a lavish lifestyle.
In the ongoing legal battles, Alex Jones has been criticized for his excessive spending on personal luxuries instead of fulfilling his financial obligations. Court records reveal that he spent $93,000 in July, none of which went towards the families affected by his actions. This has sparked outrage among the families’ lawyers, who are determined to hold him accountable.
During a recent episode of his Infowars show, Alex Jones defended his actions and urged his supporters to donate money towards his legal expenses. He justified his extravagant lifestyle, stating that he has earned it through his fight. However, his claims have been met with skepticism and further legal action.
The bizarre encounter between Alex Jones and Craig Jones on the podcast is just another chapter in the controversial life of the far-right conspiracy theorist. While it may seem like an odd request, it serves as a reminder of the strange and unpredictable nature of the internet and the individuals who inhabit it.
