Bill Hicks Became Alex Jones
Few celebrity death and reincarnation conspiracy theories strain credulity as much as the one that claims infamous comedian Bill Hicks, who passed away in 1994, reincarnated as right-wing radio personality and school shooting denier Alex Jones. This idea contends that the CIA actively sought out Hicks to join some sort of counter-media force. This idea's supporting evidence is just as absurd as the theory itself.
First and foremost, Bill Hicks made jokes about how he recently sold a concept for a new TV program called Let's Hunt and Kill Billy Ray Cyrus during his final comedy set before passing away from pancreatic disease. The conspiracy theory claims that this shows Hicks wasn't actually dying because it is obvious that he was still making plans for the future.
Another piece of evidence is the similarity in appearance and dental structure between Hicks and Jones. Bill Hicks, who was almost 15 years older than Alex Jones, undoubtedly passed away from pancreatic cancer in 1994, as there is a wealth of evidence to support this.
The main argument against this idea is the philosophical divergence between Hicks and Jones. While Jones leans heavily to the right, Hicks was perhaps more liberal or libertarian. There is some common ground there because both of them could go on an irate rant and had mistrust for the government.
