Alex Jones was born on February 11, 1974, in Dallas, Texas, and grew up in the Rockwall suburbs. His father was a dentist, and his mother was a housewife. Alex Jones claims Irish, German, Welsh, English, and Comanche ancestry.
Jones’s family relocated to Austin during his sophomore year of high school. Alex Jones went to Anderson High School, where Alex Jones played football and graduated in 1993. Jones briefly attended Austin Community College after graduating before dropping out.
Alex Jones read None Dare Call It Conspiracy, a book by John Birch Society conspiracy theorist Gary Allen as a teenager, in which he claimed that global bankers controlled American politics rather than elected officials. It had a profound impact on him, and Jones referred to Allen’s work as “the easiest-to-read primer on The New World Order.”
Jones was influenced by the Waco siege at the Branch Davidian complex near Waco, Texas. It came to an end in April 1993, near the end of Jones’ senior year of high school, with a large fire and a large number of fatalities.
These events “only confirmed his belief in the inexorable progress of unseen, malevolent forces,” according to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Alex Jones began hosting a call-in show on public access television (PACT/ACTV) in Austin around this time.
