This results in a    divided world, where mechanically augmented humans are forcibly    separated from non-augmented ones.  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>    In a cinematic trailer for the game, the character resembling    Alex Jones  who seeks equal rights for augmented people  is    interviewed on a television program, and recites rhetoric    similar to remarks Jones made on CNN in 2013.  <\/p>\n<p>    It doesnt matter how many idiots you get out there on the    street, a voiceover from the Jones-esque character says. We    will not relinquish our limbs. Do you understand?  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>    Here are Jones actual words from CNNs Piers Morgan Live on    Jan. 7, 2013:  <\/p>\n<p>      Im here to tell you, 1776 will commence again if you try to      take our firearms! It doesnt matter how many lemmings you      get out there on the street, begging to have their guns      taken. We will not relinquish them! Do you understand? Jones      said on Piers Morgan live three years ago.    <\/p>\n<p>    Another scene from the trailer shows the Jones-like person    asking, What do they have planned for us? Why are they    building concentration camps? Whats going on out there?  <\/p>\n<p>    A lot of people died, now you want to take away our freedom?    the person portraying Jones asks. You will pay for it in    blood, he says, as the scene cuts to large explosions going    off in an urban setting.  <\/p>\n<p>    Media commentator Mark Dice thinks its no coincidence.  <\/p>\n<p>    This new video game is both interesting and disturbing and it    raises some serious questions about the coming transhumanist    technology, Dice said in a recent analysis. But it also    appears to depict Alex Jones from Infowars.com as a    transhumanist terrorist whos behind a series of truck bombs    that are designed to attack humans who are trying to round up    the augs and put them in concentration camps because their    technology is malfunctioning, causing them to become a danger    to others.  <\/p>\n<p>    While the concept of the game does raise some serious and    realistic concerns about the coming transhumanist technology I    do think its despicable that theyre depicting Alex Jones as a    transhumanist terrorist  at least thats what it looks like in    the trailer.  <\/p>\n<p>    Moreover, Dice says, It also appears to be trying to promote    sympathy for the transhumanists in depicting regular humans who    dont want to go along with the agenda as being bigoted and    prejudiced afraid of the new technology.  <\/p>\n<p>    A previous version of the game, Deus Ex: Human Revolution    released in 2011, also featured an radio broadcast from a host    named Lazarus who, similar to Jones, speaks out against the    Bilderberg group, the Council of Five (a take on the Council    on Foreign Relations) and the Trilateral Commission.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>View post:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.infowars.com\/alex-jones-depicted-as-transhuman-terrorist-in-new-video-game\/\" title=\"Alex Jones Depicted as Transhuman Terrorist in New Video ...\">Alex Jones Depicted as Transhuman Terrorist in New Video ...<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> A character resembling radio talk show host Alex Jones is cast as a terrorist leader in an upcoming video game about a war between humans and cyborgs.
