Paul Joseph Watson

Paul Joseph Watson, born on May 24, 1982, is a prominent British writer, journalist, and political activist known for his controversial views and online presence. He began his career in 2002 at InfoWars, the website of American radio host Alex Jones, where he became a vocal advocate for various conspiracy theories, including those surrounding 9/11, chemtrails, and the New World Order.

Over the years, Watson has shifted his focus to critiquing feminism, Islam, and left-wing politics. He has also contributed to The Alex Jones Show, where he occasionally takes on hosting duties. His work often features a satirical tone, particularly in his critiques of contemporary social movements.

Since launching his YouTube channel, prisonplanetlive, in 2011, Watson has garnered a significant following, with over two million subscribers as of October 2025. His content frequently targets what he describes as the 'woke mob' and social justice warriors, reflecting his alignment with the New Right, a label he adopted after previously identifying as alt-right.

In May 2019, Watson faced significant backlash when Facebook and Instagram permanently banned him for violating their hate speech policies. Despite the controversies surrounding his views, he remains a notable figure in the online discourse surrounding politics and society.
