Editors Update, 01/02/2016, 5:39am EST:

Yesterday afternoon we became aware of a post on the Natural News website that calls into question the claims made by Alex Jones in regards to an attempted assassination while also questioning our reporting on the claims. This response deals with the points made in the article about Intellihub as we cannot speak for Alex Jones or Infowars.com in general.

First, one of the major differences between Intellihub and a vast majority of the alternative media is that we do not fall into any of the different alt-media “cliques” and therefore do not have an ax to grind with any other specific personality or website.

We aren’t still mad at people we used to work with, we don’t work with people who spend their entire research time attacking others, and we absolutely do not have any reason to “cover” for someone else. We also do not stick to certain narratives or blame everything on one certain group. (This was readily apparent when Shepard reported the three white men seen carrying out the terror attack in California even as most of the alternative media was going with the narrative that Obama was soft on Muslim terrorists).

Here at Intellihub we literally go where the story takes us with no regard to what other websites are reporting or have previously reported. In the past this has caused us numerous issues which is most likely why you have never seen us hosting Infowars or appearing regularly on sites like Natural News (although we would gladly accept both).

In regards to this specific story, all Intellihub founder Shepard Ambellas did was first report on the claims made by Jones on his radio show and then, after others specifically claimed that the “assassin” did not exist at all, further researched the claims and found out that a man who had previously traveled to Austin in an attempt to kill Jones did in fact exist and was in fact killed by police. Hence you have the article below.

This article wasn’t written to “cover” for anyone as we have absolutely no reason to do that. We simply published an article on claims made by Jones and then after others claimed the assassin did not exist we rushed to find out the truth in order to provide an update to our readers.

Now the issue seems to be the timing (which we specifically noted below) between when the reported assassination attempt happened and when the supposed would be assassin died. This five-year span between when he originally went to Austin and when he died is an important part of the story that we already reported below.

At this point it seems that because we reported on the now controversial claims made by Jones we have found ourselves in the middle of a larger issue between alternative news outlets. This is something we want nothing to do with as we highly respect the work of both Infowars and Natural News and don’t need the negativity that taking sides would bring.

Instead we will continue to focus on bringing our readers hard-hitting, uncensored narrative free news without the drama. Our hope is that in the future other news outlets will see this and decide to work with us on a much larger level, knowing that we aren’t going to end up attacking them at a later time.

One things for sure, the corporate media isn’t spending their time attacking each other!

Note: Sub-headline updated to further acknowledge the time between. Although we noted it below, it seems some have misread our points so an update that directly spelled it out has become necessary.
