Tales from YouTube - Alex Jones Statement Refers to Six People as “Stalkers”

Alex Jones, CEO of Castle Corbenic Ltd and Project Night Watch Ltd, has published a statement on his YouTube Community page referring to what he described as “six of my stalkers.”

In the statement, Jones named or was understood to be referring to Kaley Einav, Jake Clarke, Justin Pomeroy, Shellie Mote, Katie Boyle and Matt Taylor.

Jones wrote:

“All six of my stalkers are either directly involved or supporting networks and individuals who have wanted to kidnap children, traffick them overseas and exploit them for money, including the children of my client.

“Be under no illusion that these stalkers are evil people who are prepared to do extreme harm to children and vulnerable people for the purposes of personal gain.”

The statement therefore makes extremely serious allegations concerning the six people referred to. No evidence establishing those allegations has been presented in the statement itself, and the allegations should not be treated as findings of fact or criminal convictions.

Matt Taylor responds.

Matt Taylor, a former Royal Military Policeman and who stood as an independent parliamentary candidate in the 2015 Brighton Kemptown general election, responded forcefully to the allegation.

Taylor said:

“For the record and contrary to what the Colchester stalker says, I have never been involved in any kidnapping, trafficking, or financial exploitation of children. The suggestion is ridiculous and a clear example of satanic radicalisation.”

Taylor's response constitutes an explicit denial of any involvement in the conduct alleged by Jones.

Previous police reports.

The statement also takes place against the background of an ongoing dispute between Jones and Taylor. Jones has acknowledged making various reports concerning Taylor to Sussex Police.

The existence of police reports or complaints does not, in itself, establish that an allegation is true. Any determination of criminal responsibility would depend upon evidence and the appropriate legal process.

Similarly, describing someone as a “stalker” is an allegation unless and until established by the relevant legal process.

Wider dispute.

The latest statement appears to form part of a continuing public dispute involving Jones, Taylor and other individuals named by Jones.

The most significant issue raised by the statement is the leap from allegations concerning online activity or stalking to claims that the individuals are connected with networks or people allegedly seeking to kidnap, traffic or financially exploit children.

Those are substantially more serious allegations than a conventional dispute over online communications. They carry obvious implications for the reputations of the people named.

At present, the appropriate distinction is therefore between what Jones has publicly alleged, what the people concerned deny, and what can actually be established by independent evidence or a court.

Complex Behaviours!

People can exhibit a range of complex behaviours and it is not uncommon for individuals to have inconsistencies in their thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is important to note that everyone has their own unique set of experiences, beliefs, and values that shape their behaviour.

That being said, people who consistently say and act one way while thinking and doing the complete opposite are often described as being hypocritical or deceptive. They may be consciously or unconsciously manipulating others for personal gain or to avoid conflict. This behaviour can be damaging to relationships and erode trust. It is important to try to understand the motivations and reasons behind someone's behaviour before making judgments. If you feel uncomfortable or uncertain about someone's behaviour, it may be helpful to communicate openly and honestly with them to try to resolve any issues. Hypocrisy and deception are two distinct but related behaviours that can cause confusion, mistrust, and conflict in relationships. Hypocrisy: Hypocrisy is a behaviour where a person says or promotes certain values, beliefs, or behaviours, but does not live up to those standards themselves. For example, a person who advocates for healthy eating but regularly eats junk food could be considered hypocritical. Hypocrisy can erode trust and respect in relationships, especially if the person's actions have negative consequences for others. Deception: Deception is a behaviour where a person intentionally misleads others in order to gain an advantage or avoid negative consequences. This can take many forms, including lying, omitting information, or manipulating others. Deception can be damaging to relationships because it erodes trust and can cause emotional harm. People who exhibit hypocritical or deceptive behaviours may do so for a variety of reasons, including fear of judgement or conflict, desire for personal gain, or lack of self-awareness. It is important to try to understand the motivations behind someone's behaviour in order to effectively communicate and address any issues. If you find yourself in a situation where you feel uncomfortable or uncertain about someone's behaviour, it may be helpful to communicate openly and honestly with them. Try to express your feelings and concerns in a non-confrontational manner, and be open to hearing their perspective as well. This can help build understanding and trust, and may lead to a resolution of any issues.

Remember: Recognize your own reactions: It is natural to feel frustrated, angry, or hurt when someone behaves hypocritically or deceptively. However, it is important to recognize your own reactions and try to manage them in a constructive way. Avoid getting defensive or aggressive, and instead focus on understanding the other person's perspective. Address the behaviour, not the person: When communicating with someone who has exhibited hypocritical or deceptive behaviour, it is important to focus on the behaviour itself rather than attacking the person. Use "I" statements to express how the behaviour makes you feel, and avoid making accusatory or judgmental statements. Be clear and specific: When addressing the behaviour, be clear and specific about what you are referring to. Provide examples or specific instances where the behaviour has occurred, and explain why it is problematic. This can help the other person understand your perspective and avoid misunderstandings. Set boundaries: If someone's behaviour is consistently hypocritical or deceptive and is causing harm, it may be necessary to set boundaries to protect yourself. This could involve limiting contact with the person, avoiding certain topics or situations, or seeking help from a mediator or therapist. Practice empathy: It can be helpful to try to understand the other person's perspective and motivations for their behaviour. This does not mean excusing or condoning the behaviour, but rather recognizing that everyone has their own unique experiences and struggles. Practicing empathy can help build understanding and trust, and may lead to a resolution of any issues.
