I'm not convinced he's Bill Hicks but i am convinced he's an actor. In his recent law suit with his wife part of his defense was that he was just playing a character "Alex Jones" for Infowars. He's a fearmongerer and a gatekeeper.

"At a recent pretrial hearing, attorney Randall Wilhite told state District Judge Orlinda Naranjo that using his client Alex Jones’ on-air Infowars persona to evaluate Alex Jones as a father would be like judging Jack Nicholson in a custody dispute based on his performance as the Joker in “Batman.”
"“He’s playing a character,” Wilhite said of Jones. “He is a performance artist.”"
