Former Alex Jones Writer Keith Johnson Abandoned Conspiracy Culture

Former InfoWars writer Keith Johnson is another one of Alex Jones' former employees slamming him after leaving. His criticisms are kind of old and have been barely noticed for years unlike other former Alex Jones employees like former InfoWars editor Kurt Nimmo. Johnson's grievances aren't the same as Nimmo's. Unlike Nimmo, Johnson abandoned many of his conspiratorial beliefs.
He has a YouTube channel with several videos criticizing Jones for how for how he portrays the Sandy Hook massacre as a staged hoax with actors. Johnson was a contributing writer to InfoWars at least going back to 2010 and until 2012 according to the Wayback machine.  After leaving, he joined American Free Press, another conspiracy website and newspaper until 2014. I've not been able to determine exactly when he abandoned his conspiracy views.  But I did find when he came on the Alex Jones show in 2014 to discuss the Sandy Hook massacre anniversary, he completely rejected the idea that it was a hoax or a staged massacre of any kind. He went so far as to say that the conspiracy theories about it were meant to discredit conspiracy theorists. This was in a debate with another guest who was saying it was a staged hoax.

In one of his videos on YouTube posted in 2015, he slams Jones for going after massacre victim's parents as well as Jones being one of the primary proponents of the Sandy Hook hoax conspiracy theory. Johnson gives an explanation as to why he held his beliefs. He says they were primarily based on his political leanings which he says he still maintains.

Here is that video of him criticizing Jones as well as his own personal role he had in the conspiracy movement.

And here he is on the Alex Jones Show rejecting the staged hoax theories. He appeared as an investigative reporter for American Free Press:






As of this writing, Johnson has made his Word Press blog private to invitation requests approved by him. So it's hard to see what he's up to now even with the Wayback machine.  I also haven't been able to track him down to see what he's up to anywhere else. I'll post more if I find anything new with him.

Once again if the videos are down let me know in the comments. I have them. And I will re-upload them.
