In other conspiracy theories, Jones has accused the US government of planning the Oklahoma City bombing, the September 11 attacks, and falsifying details regarding the 1969 Moon landing. Jones is of Irish, German, Welsh, mostly English, and partially Native American descent. Jones has described himself as a paleoconservative and a libertarian. The latter claim is disputed by libertarians. In early 2000, he was one of seven Republican candidates for state representative in Texas House District 48, but withdrew from the race after a couple of weeks. In 2001, Jones’s radio show was syndicated on approximately 100 stations. On July 15, 2000, Jones infiltrated the Bohemian Grove Cremation of Care, which he called a ritualistic ritualistic shedding of conscience and an abuse of power. He was removed from a George W. Bush rally at Bayport Industrial District, Texas. Jones interrupted governor Bush’s speech, demanding that the Federal Reserve and Council on Foreign Relations be abolished. Jones said: It was purely political, and it came down from on high I was told 11 weeks ago to lay off Clinton, to lay.
off all these politicians, to not talk about rebuilding the church, to stop bashing the Marines, A to Z. He began to broadcast his show by Internet connection from his open swing home in Austin,Texas, an open swing district based in an Austin suburb. He said that he was running to be a watchdog on the inside of the White House. Jones was born on February 11, 1974 in Dallas, Texas and was raised in the suburb of Rockwall, and later in Austin. Jones briefly attended Austin Community College but dropped out. Jones began his career in Austin working on a live, call-in format public-access cable television program. In 1996, Jones switched to radio, hosting a show named The Final Edition on KJFK. While running for Congress, Ron Paul was a guest on his show several times. In 1998, he released his first film, America Destroyed by Design. Jones organized a successful campaign to build a new Branch Davidian church, as a memorial to those who died during the 1993 fire that ended the Waco siege of the original Branch Davidians complex near Waco,Texas. In 1999, Jones tied with Shannon Burke for that year’s poll of “Best Austin Talk Radio Host” as voted by readers of The Austin Chronicle. Later that year, Jones was fired from KJ JFK-FM for refusing to broaden his topics. He claimed that David Koresh and his followers were peaceful people who were murdered by Attorney General Janet Reno and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.
