Alex Constantine is an American author, “investigative journalist”, radio commentator and musician, who has actually achieved some fame as a poor man’s Alex Jones (or perhaps more accurately as the go-to guy for those who think Jones tends to miss certain suspicious connections and patterns, or is a government plant) – Constantine has a pretty substantial whale.to profile here, in other words.
He has written a couple of books on various topics, for instance exploring the possibility (well, pretty much endorsing) that O.J. Simpson was innocent and set up by the Mafia and LAPD – which are two sides of the same coin, apparently. In more detail, the fact (according to Constantine) is that O.J., Ronald Goldman, and Nicole Simpson, were all dealing cocaine for the Mafia, and Simpson and Goldman were pinching drug profits to open their own restaurant; they owed the Mob money, you see, so the Mob did what Mobs do, and framed OJ. The “evidence” is discussed here. Constantine claims to have survived several attempts to mind control and kill him organized by the powers in control. He has also noted that e.g. New Scientist doesn’t support his conspiracy theories, and concludes from this that New Scientist must be part of said conspiracies. The argument is of course is of course based on the standard conspiracy paranoia duality “either you agree with me, or you are part of a conspiracy to take me down,” which also means that the conspiracy theory perfectly unfalsifiable (see also this). For instance, when John McAdams debunks the common JFK conspiracies here, guess what Constantine’s response was? A cookie to you if you guessed an article called “who is John McAdams” trying desperately to show that McAdams is part of the conspiracy – no attempt to deal with the claims, of course. James Randi is a CIA puppet as well, by the way, as is apparently more or less every registered Republican.
Constantine’s main areas of focus, however, are mind control (how else do you explain the robotic, assassinative actions of McVeigh? Even those who had some interaction with him described him as “kind of like a robot;” case closed), political assassinations, and fascism – the latter, he claims, is inherently conspiratorial, which he uses as a carte blanche to interpret everything and anything he encounters anywhere as the product of a fascist conspiracy if he doesn’t fancy the official story, which he doesn’t. He has thus received some attention for his J.F.K. conspiracy claims and his claims concerning the assassination of Jimi Hendrix (well, Hendrix died – so of course he was assassinated) and other rock artists killed for political reasons (the motivation being a little unclear; it is supposedly covered in his book “The Covert War Against Rock” – but Constantine does of course not have to have an answer to that question since he is just asking questions). As he puts it: “The C.I.A. and the Mafia coordinated activities because the Mafia wanted a piece of the music business and the C.I.A. wanted to do away with politics in popular music – so they had an incentive to join forces.” He doesn’t accept the official 9/11 story either, to put it mildly.
One of his more popular views is that the CIA employs satanic cults to engage in trauma-based programming, and he has some “case-by-case documentation” here.
Diagnosis: At least he self-identifies as a conspiracy theorist. He has some self-awareness, but unfortunately reality, sanity, and reason seem to continue to elude him. The best explanation is that reality is in a conspiracy against him.
