A small-time farmer in East Texas pays $50 at a bankruptcy auction for twelve storage lockers full of nutritional supplements and spends the next month feeding them to his pigs. To the surprise of everyone (except Jones and his listeners), the supplements actually work as advertised. The pigs acquire super intelligence and super strength, escape captivity, and bring Texas to its knees.
Directed by Kevin Smith, starring himself as Alex Jones, and Matthew McConaughey as the farmer
lmfao, just keep piling it on like every other week. Two weeks pass, roll a couple 20 sided die, consult the table, boom. $391 million more.
Feels like every day there is another billion dollar settlement. Major deja vu.
The "Knowledge Fight" podcast guys strike me as turbo-libs, but listening to the depostion hearings for the Connecticut case has been comedy gold. Alex cannot answer a single question without devolving into prolonged reactionary ramblings.

Dan is kinda lib and very concerned about propriety, Jordan very much is not.
"Mr. Jones, would you consider the judge presiding over this case a Sandy Hook vampire?"
"Objection!"
:alex-aware: "I.... I know we didn't provide fraudulent financials..."
so it won't get lost at a bottom of a thread with a removed comment at the top, i'm gonna make some things clear for anyone else thinking about defending alex jones
1: he was sued by the families of dead children. 15 plaintiffs. Not 1 kid's parents. 15 plaintiffs.
2: he was sued for defamation since he claimed these people were crisis actors and anti-gun activists. This resulted in them getting harassment and death threats. One of them had to move several times, and keeps getting filmed in public. One of them sent DNA samples to prove that the dead child was actually his in court.
3: he is not being "scapegoated" by "the justice system" since it is the families of dead children suing him.
4: he is not being "punished for what his audience did." since his audience members who harrased and sent death threats were also sued in several incidents
5: this piece of shit is facing punitive damages not just for his defamation of these dead kids' families, but for wasting the court's time by constantly trolling and doubling down and lying and playing dumb and giving monologues and doing self-promotion in the middle of a court case
6: this guy is not off the hook just for being "mentally ill" or "alcoholic"
7: this guy is not a scrappy independent journalist fighting for his life. He is a multimillionaire advertiser and reactionary demagogue from a prominent right wing family with multigenerational petroleum industry wealth and he lives on a several acre plantation with orchards.
Alex Jones Forced to pay for my lunch on top of $1.6B court orders him to pay
All of the Sandy hook parents taking turns picking up Alex Jones by his ankles and shaking him upside down for his lunch money
He got fined more than all the enron executives for saying stuff MTG would say.
The justice system us always a farce but it seems cruel that they bother with this garbage you know? This won't end up helping the familes at all.
This won’t end up helping the familes at all.
The Families are the ones who sued him. Alex Jones is a man with an audience of millions of gullible reactionaries and he received one of his biggest surges in ratings of all time when he began to slander these people who
lost their fucking children in a mass shootingas "crisis actors" and "anti-gun democratic operatives" resulting in his audience members stalking these families, sending them death threats, harrassing them in public, and so on. Alex Jones repeatedly lied under oath, tried to distort the facts about this, and even after being found guilty refused to show any remorse. Fuck him. He is a fucking worm. Listen to the case and the deposition hearings. Several times in court he tried to use his testimony as an opportunity to advertise his show and products. He also kept going on air every evening both during and after the trial to slander the victims, the prosecution and the judgeThe justice system us always a farce but it seems cruel that they bother with this garbage you know?
This isn't a conspiracy by the justice system to oppress multimillionaire oil family heir and reactionary talk show host Alex Jones. It's the families who received death threats and harrasment from his audience as a result of his reckless lies about them coming together to sue him.
imagine whining about the "cruelty of the justice system" not when a homeless man gets 15 years for stealing a 100 dollar bill but instead when a snake oil salesman gets a slap on the wrist. It's the same as people crying about Kanye's "mistreatment."
He got fined more than all the enron executives for saying stuff MTG would say.
him, MTG, and the enron executives all deserve much worse than to be sued
who sued him? Say it. :xi-gun:
the mentally ill conservative journalist is such a weird scapegoat.
there's a thing called pleeing "not guilty by reason of insanity." he did not do this. He is not a "scapegoat."
Surprised I didn't see parenthesis in multiples on that totally not a wrecker take.
I don't think they explicitly do, lol. Alex Jones not having the connections to get away with stuff when something like Chevron can doesn't mean it's a conspiracy against Alex Jones.
:brainworms:
anyone can predict a virus and immediate shock doctrine afterward. Watch this "I predict there will be a major holiday event at which people will die of alcohol poisoning."
this fucking clown goes on air and makes shit up. if I toss darts at a board for 2 hours a day I'm gonna hit a few bullseyes even if i suck
so. back on topic. who sued alex jones for these damages and why did they do it?
The lot of them should be hit as well.
-
how do you know this isn't already the case?
-
they didn't make millions of dollars off of the lies. why sue some idiot who can't even afford a legal defense who listens to alex jones when you can sue the source of the agitation? The guy who made millions off of getting people angry at victims?
One of the kid’s parents.
there are 15 plaintiffs. multiple families are suing
if this guy isn't stopped he's just going to keep going on air and lying about people to an incredibly gullible and reactionary audience. stop calling him a "scapegoat" who's "taking the fall" and pretending he's somehow a victim of oppression. He's making money off of making shit up. He gets 40k/month salary from Free Speech Systems (his corporation that employs several people) on top of having tons of stock investments and making millions off of ad revenue and product sales.
If his fans didn’t participate than he would just be an internet crank
if this guy isn't stopped he's just going to keep going on air and lying about people to an incredibly gullible and reactionary audience. He isn't just an "internet crank." stop calling him a "scapegoat" who's "taking the fall" and pretending he's somehow a victim of oppression. He's making money off of making shit up. He gets 40k/month salary from Free Speech Systems (his corporation that employs several people) on top of having tons of stock investments and making millions off of ad revenue and product sales. His family are Texas oil millionaires. He got free money (not a loan) from his dad to start his "business." of getting people violently angry over lies. You are defending a bourgeois reactionary who goes on air and spews the 21st century equivalent of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion every fucking day. When his audience of gullible and impressionable reactionaries truly believes his claims and sees that nobody is doing anything about the cabal of elite pedophile globalist crisis actors, they inevitably take matters into their own hands and innocent people get hurt. Also he actually paid a guy to harrass some people and advertise info wars at one point. Like actually listen to the case and you'll see this guy is an enormous slimeball. Every night lately he goes on air and cries about how he's bankrupt and gets tons of donations. He'll be fine. He's not even going to jail over this.
how do you know that his audience members who went out and harassed people weren't also sued in separate cases? You assumed so many things. You assumed only 1 parent sued. There's 15 plaintiffs. You assumed alex jones is a "scapegoat" and that "the families aren't being helped by this" when they're the fucking ones who sued in the first place. all you have is weak :cope:. You're incredibly off base about this and keep digging in.
alex jones went on air every night
during his court caseand claimed that the families who sued him were "being used as pawns." is this where you're getting this narrative? are you actually going to him for information about his case?EDIT: since you can't fucking research ANYTHING I looked into it. Alex Jones's rabid fans were sued for their harrassment of sandy hook victims on several occasions. For example, In 2017, Lucy Richards was sentenced to 5 months in prison for threatening Noah Pozner's life. She admitted in her guilty plea to being part of the active online community of Americans who believe that the Sandy Hook shooting was staged and that the victims and their mourning family members are only actors. So fuck off with this "alex jones is the only victim the audience members were the real perpetrators" demonstrably false BULLSHIT.
EDIT 2: In June 2019, Wisconsin judge Frank Remington ruled that Pozner had been defamed by the authors of "Nobody Died At Sandy Hook: It was a FEMA Drill to Promote Gun Control." The 455-page book, published by Moon Rock Books, argued that the Sandy Hook massacre had never happened. In it, they claim several times that Pozner had faked his son Noah's death certificate. Pozner's submissions in the case included DNA samples that match those taken by a Connecticut medical examiner that prove Noah was his son. Additionally, he submitted Noah's birth certificate, report cards and medical records into the public record. The judge ruled that there was no question of fact in the dispute, and ruled in favor of Pozner in the libel case: that the co-editors of the book, James Fetzer and Mike Palecek, had defamed Pozner. "This is a victory for myself and my family" Pozner said in an interview. "It is also a victory for the survivors and victims' families of all mass casualty events who have been targeted by these people."
you were wrong about this "not helping the families." since they are the plaintiffs
you were wrong about one kid's parents suing him. there are 15 plaintiffs
you were wrong about the audience members not being sued for their harassment and death threats. they were.
you were wrong about alex jones being a "scapegoat."
the courts are failing to properly handle this and this should be something like a rico case
Why and how? This is the weakest :cope: yet. Christ almighty man you just can't fucking suck it up and admit you're full of shit can you? Have some fucking humility.
go listen to the fucking court case you :funny-clown-hammer: . If the courts can be said to have "failed to handle this properly" it's because they're being TOO NICE TO HIM. They have been amazingly tolerant of alex jones's bullshit as he constantly waste's everyone's time, refuses to answer questions, launches into endless rants and non sequiturs, lies about evidence he cannot produce, uses his testimony to advertise his show, slanders the lawyers of the victims, says he "doesn't remember" discussing certain subjects on his show even as the prosecutors produce clips from his show as evidence, throws his employees under the bus and claims they did things without his orders even though he owns the fucking corporation and tells everyone what to do, lies about when people started and stopped working for him, alleges the existence of documents he cannot produce, etc. He even goes on his show between hearings to slander the entire case as being "kangaroo court."
WHERE ARE YOU GETTING YOUR INFORMATION ABOUT THIS CASE? DO YOU ACTUALLY GO TO THIS JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY GOON FOR YOUR NEWS?!?!?
In 2017, Lucy Richards was sentenced to 5 months in prison for threatening Pozner's life. She admitted in her guilty plea to being part of the active online community of Americans who believe that the Sandy Hook shooting was staged and that the victims and their mourning family members are only actors. Your assumption that Jones was the only person sued over this shit is demonstrably false, as is your assertion that jones is a "scapegoat" being persecuted by "the justice system" (it was the families of dead children that sued him), as is your assertion that alex jones is merely a "crank" and not a capitalist with a huge audience, as is your assertion that only one kid's parents sued. it was 15 plaintiffs. Go listen to the court case. Go listen to the deposition hearings. Stop pulling shit out of your ass.

I don't know why everyone is jumping all over this guy, just for pointing out that the psychic vampires are afraid of his meat-powered aura of truth and are engaging in astral plane attacks on his finances
Do you have any idea who Alex Jones even is, or what these lawsuits are even about?
Ok well that explains it. Let me give you a TL;DR:
Alex Jones on his shitty conspiracy theory show InfoWars claimed repeatedly that the Sandy Hook massacre never took place and that the parents were "crisis actors" paid by the feds. He claimed the massacre was a "false flag operation by the globalists" or other such shit.
The fans of his show of course lapped this up without question and proceeded to harass the poor grieving parents of the dead children. They did this for years and made their lives a living hell even as they were trying to cope with the losses of their dead children.
Alex Jones continued to peddle this misinformation for years. Him and his shitty idiot mouth breathing viewers did everything they could to (further) ruin the lives of the grieving parents of dead children.
Eventually the parents lawyered up and sued him in multiple different states for defamation. The first case in Texas resulted in ~$45 million in damages, the next one in Connecticut resulted in nearly $1.5 billion in damages.
Literally the only thing that will shut him the fuck up is to bankrupt him into the ground and ensure that his stupid fucking InfoWars show never sees the light of day ever again, and that is exactly what they are doing.
Tbh InfoWars had some potential for radicalizing people when it was oriented against Bush II, the War on Terror, NSA spying, and so on. But that was long ago, before it made a very clear break towards being nothing but a reactionary pipeline.
They went from "they're turning this country into a police state" to "actually we need to police brown people more".
:downbear: Infowars has never had potential, it's always been aligned with those Rockies white nationalist militia types.
It seemed pretty standard libertarian-spectrum to me back then (well over a decade ago), but maybe that was me not noticing the overlapping white nationalists or maybe they were deliberately less forthcoming.
:jesse-wtf:
they have to be doing it to shut him up
Yes, that is entirely the point.
:sus-soviet: What an intriguing take! Indeed, there must be lots that a fascist grifter has to say that is worth our time! :sus-soviet:
imagine, if you will, a prizewinning hog with a greasy, glistening turd nestled perfectly between it humongous testicles
fuck what a good username wasted on an absolute idiot
(plaidimir_lenin)
This doesn't strike you as weird? The courts useually fall over themselves to let a guy like him off the hook. If he got some normal penalties or jailtime it'd made sense. This makes it weirder than it was before
What's he gonna do, fund a hog revolution off supplement sales? They're just making an example out of him but he's as much of a no thoughts head empty chud as the rest of them. Give the tinfoil hat a rest.
I mean, he is going to burn out in a blaze of poorly treated mental illness and lively overdose on something. It just seems like he is a weird one to make an example of
