AUSTIN, Texas: As of 09:58 PM MDT on March 10, 2025, there is no official Wikipedia article specifically dedicated to Jamie White, the Infowars reporter whose death has been reported today. Given the recency of the event—allegedly occurring around midnight on Sunday, March 9, 2025, in Austin, Texas—and the ongoing nature of the investigation by the Austin Police Department, it is unsurprising that a detailed and verified Wikipedia entry has not yet been created. Wikipedia articles typically require significant, reliable, and independently verified sources before they are established, especially for individuals who are not widely known public figures outside their specific context.
However, based on the available information from various news outlets and statements made by Alex Jones, the founder of Infowars, I can provide a summary that might resemble the structure of a potential Wikipedia article if one were to be created in the future, once more details are confirmed. Please note that this is a constructed overview based on current reports and should be treated as provisional and subject to change as the investigation progresses.
Alex Jones announced White's death on March 10, 2025, via a video and social media, alleging that White was "brutally murdered" and blaming Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza, whom he described as Soros-backed, for creating a climate of crime through lenient policies. Jones suggested the killing might have been targeted due to White's investigative work, though no evidence has been provided to substantiate this claim, and authorities have not released information on suspects or motives.
Jamie White (Reporter)
Jamie White was an American journalist and reporter known for his work with Infowars, a far-right media platform founded by Alex Jones. White was reportedly murdered on March 9, 2025, outside his apartment in Austin, Texas, in an incident that has drawn significant attention due to claims made by Jones linking the killing to local political figures and crime policies.
Early Life and Career
Little is publicly known about White's early life, including his birth date and place of origin, as detailed biographical information has not been widely disseminated. He joined Infowars, a platform known for promoting conspiracy theories and alternative news narratives, where he contributed articles and reports on topics ranging from international politics to controversial domestic issues. His work included coverage of events such as Romania's ban on presidential candidate Călin Georgescu and allegations of secret illegal alien flights under the Biden administration. White was described by Jones as one of the outlet's best writers and a dedicated journalist passionate about fighting "tyranny" and promoting "freedom."
Death
On the night of March 9, 2025, White was found with "obvious signs of trauma" outside his residence in the 2300 block of Douglas Street, South Austin, following a 911 call received at approximately 11:57 p.m. Austin Police Department officers responded and transported him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after midnight on March 10, 2025. The incident has been classified as Austin's eighth homicide of the year, and the police are investigating it as a homicide. The exact cause of death—whether by stabbing, shooting, or another means—has not been officially confirmed, though reports suggest severe injuries.
Reactions and Legacy
The news of White's death elicited varied responses. Supporters of Infowars expressed grief and called for justice, with Jones vowing to continue White's work. The incident has also sparked discussions on social media and among alternative media circles about the safety of journalists, particularly those associated with controversial outlets. Critics of Infowars have noted the platform's history of promoting unverified narratives, urging caution in accepting Jones' assertions without official confirmation.
The Austin Police Department is actively investigating, but as of now, no suspects have been identified, and details remain scarce. The case continues to develop, and its implications for journalism and local crime policy are subjects of ongoing debate.
Important Notes
This summary is based on preliminary reports from March 10, 2025, and reflects the current state of information, which is incomplete and unverified in many aspects. Claims by Alex Jones, including those implicating political figures like Jose Garza or George Soros, lack independent corroboration and should be treated skeptically until supported by official findings.
Wikipedia articles are community-edited and require adherence to strict neutrality and sourcing guidelines. Given the controversial nature of Infowars and the lack of extensive public records on White, any future article would need substantial documentation to meet these standards.
For the latest updates, I recommend checking official statements from the Austin Police Department or reputable news sources as the investigation unfolds.
The death of Tupac Shakur in 1996 spawned numerous conspiracy theories that continue to circulate decades later. These theories, ranging from plausible to outlandish, have been fueled by a combination of marketing strategies, coincidences, and the enduring legacy of one of hip-hop's most influential figures. Separate from this, a peculiar theory connecting Tupac to rapper Akil the MC has emerged, despite clear evidence contradicting this connection.
The conspiracy theories suggesting Tupac faked his death began almost immediately after his passing and have been sustained by several key elements that fans point to as "evidence."
Perhaps the most compelling evidence for conspiracy theorists is Tupac's adoption of the stage name "Makaveli" for his posthumous album. This name draws a direct connection to the Italian strategist Niccolò Machiavelli, who famously wrote about faking one's death to fool enemies in his work "The Prince"1. Some theorists have noted that rearranging the letters in "Makaveli" yields the phrase "Am Alive K," which they interpret as a hidden message suggesting Tupac's survival1.
The marketing around Tupac's posthumous music intentionally played into conspiracy theories. His posthumous album "Makaveli" was promoted with billboards that read "Listen very carefully," while the music video for "Hail Mary" featured Tupac rising from the earth to murder his enemies2. This deliberate campaign of ambiguity continued with the 1997 music video for "I Wonder if Heaven Got a Ghetto," which depicted Tupac arriving by helicopter in the desert just a day after his murder2.
This marketing strategy proved incredibly effective, as Tupac released seven of his eleven platinum albums after his death2. As Ronald Brent, who created the artwork for "The 7 Day Theory" album, revealed: "I know ad-libs and stuff were added to the 7 Day Theory album after Pac's death to keep him feeling alive"2.
Several aspects of Tupac's death and cremation have fueled conspiracy theories. Reports indicate that Suge Knight arranged for Tupac's immediate cremation, with mortuary records allegedly contradicting his recorded height and weight1. The swift cremation "almost immediately after an autopsy was supposedly performed" has raised questions among skeptics5.
Numerology enthusiasts point to eerie connections with the number 7: Tupac was shot on September 7, died at 25 (2+5=7), at 4:03 PM (4+0+3=7), and was born on June 16 (1+6=7)1. His final album was titled "Makaveli: the 7 Day Theory," and he took seven days to die (shot September 7, died September 13)2.
Suge Knight, who was with Tupac when he was shot, has made statements that perpetuate these theories. In a 2017 TV interview with Ice-T, Knight suggested "With Pac, you never know"2. Knight also claimed that Tupac had previously discussed the idea of faking his death during a vacation in Hawaii, stating: "We was in Maui, you know what I mean, and Pac, like, never been to Maui in a while, we just took a vacation... he got to talking about faking his own death"5.
Knight's son, Jacob, has further fueled speculation by claiming Tupac is living in Malaysia and working on a new album2.
Various theories suggest different locations where Tupac might be hiding. Some believe he escaped to Cuba, possibly with help from Fidel Castro5, with theorists noting that Tupac's revolutionary aunt, Assata Shakur, has been hiding from the FBI in Cuba since 1979—providing a potential connection2.
Other theories place him in Malaysia25 or New Mexico among the Navajo tribe, as claimed by filmmaker Rick Boss15.
A separate conspiracy theory suggests that rapper Akil the MC from the group Jurassic 5 is actually Tupac in disguise. This theory appears to be based primarily on perceived physical similarities between the two artists.
According to the available information, "Akil the MC has very similar facial features to Tupac"3. This superficial resemblance, combined with edited videos and misinformation circulating online, has led some to believe they are the same person.
Akil the MC has directly addressed and debunked these rumors. In a video from approximately 2018 (seven years before our current date of 2025), Akil specifically addressed the "Akil is 2pac rumor"4. He clarified several key points:
He met Tupac only once briefly in 1994.
He saw Tupac two other times after their first meeting but never spoke to him on those occasions, once seeing him in an elevator with Spice 1 and another time at criminal court with Suge Knight and Snoop Dogg4.
Out of these three encounters, they only spoke during their first meeting in 19894.
Perhaps the most compelling evidence against this theory is the timeline: Akil the MC has been rapping since 1995 when Tupac was still alive3. Additionally, Akil is reportedly older than Tupac, further demonstrating the impossibility of them being the same person3.
The persistence of Tupac conspiracy theories demonstrates the powerful intersection of fan devotion, strategic marketing, and the human tendency to seek patterns and alternative explanations for tragic events. Death Row CEO Suge Knight, who had a vault of hundreds of unreleased Tupac songs, understood that "creating the illusion of his prized asset faking his own death would generate an intrigue that could sustain record sales long after the rapper's passing"2.
Despite the lack of concrete evidence supporting any of these theories, they continue to captivate the public imagination. Meanwhile, Akil the MC continues to deal with the consequences of misinformation and edited videos that falsely connect him to Tupac. As with many conspiracy theories, these narratives persist not because of their factual basis, but because of their emotional appeal and the cultural significance of the artist at their center.
People have accused David Hogg of being a crisis actor—a term used to describe someone who is allegedly paid to fabricate or exploit tragedies for political gain—primarily due to conspiracy theories that emerged after the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. These theories gained traction on social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube, where users shared videos and posts claiming Hogg was not a genuine survivor but an actor. One key piece of "evidence" cited was a 2017 local news clip showing Hogg in California, which conspiracy theorists misinterpreted as proof he was traveling between crisis sites145.
The claims were further fueled by a Florida state lawmaker's aide, Benjamin Kelly, who sent an email alleging that Hogg and another student were actors. Kelly later provided a link to a conspiracy video as "proof," but he was subsequently fired for spreading misinformation13. Additionally, far-right websites like Gateway Pundit amplified the theory, posting edited videos of Hogg stumbling over his words during an interview, which they claimed demonstrated he was "rehearsing lines"45.
Despite Hogg’s repeated denials and statements that he was a genuine witness to the tragedy, the conspiracy theories persisted, partly because they tapped into existing political polarization and distrust of mainstream narratives. The theories were also bolstered by high-profile figures, such as Donald Trump Jr., who liked tweets promoting the idea that Hogg was part of a larger anti-Trump agenda46.
YouTube and Facebook eventually removed many of the conspiracy-related posts and videos for violating their policies on harassment and misinformation, but the damage had already been done, as the theories had gone viral47. Hogg and other Parkland survivors have since used the backlash to strengthen their advocacy for gun control, turning the unfounded accusations into a rallying cry against disinformation28.
The YouTube channel MGTV played a significant role in amplifying the false conspiracy theory that David Hogg, a survivor of the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, was a crisis actor. MGTV uploaded a video titled "DAVID HOGG THE ACTOR", which quickly became one of the top trending videos on YouTube. This video repurposed a 2017 news clip of Hogg, unrelated to the shooting, to suggest he was an actor rather than a genuine survivor12.
The video’s description explicitly labeled Hogg as an actor, and it was shared widely, contributing to the spread of the conspiracy theory. YouTube’s algorithm initially misclassified the video due to its use of authoritative news footage, allowing it to gain significant traction before being removed for violating the platform’s harassment and bullying policies26.
The MGTV video was part of a broader wave of misinformation that emerged after the shooting, with other platforms like Facebook and Twitter also hosting similar content. The video’s prominence on YouTube highlighted concerns about the platform’s ability to manage and mitigate the spread of harmful conspiracy theories126.
