Quote HistoryQuoted: Jones has stated on air that he's been told that all these legal problems disappear if he disavows the 2nd Amendment and shuts down InfoWars. This is about silencing dissenting voices so the bigger plan of the great reset can move forward unimpeded, this is about shutting down Jones and InfoWars; this is lawfare at its finest. Spot on. |

I'm listening to Mike Adams who says:
Judge ordered Alex to turn over all financial records. He did. Judge asked him for his marketing surveys. Alex said they didn't do any and just winged it. Judge said he lied and held summary judgment against him; denying him any opportunity to challenge any of the evidence or accusations. Alex files for bankruptcy to protect himself against anticipated fine from the court. If what Mike Adams says is true, it reminds me of the way the FBI or any other federal agency tries to destroy someone. They jam you with court and attorney fees until you're broke. If they did this to AJ, they can (and have) do it to anyone. It's the way of the Fed. Can't wait for the dollar to die. Their power evaporates and the government should shrink (how do they pay for it when the FRN is worthless?). |

But they don't realize the reason he is so funny is because he's so ridiculous. No one cares when Bill O'Reilly gets jammed up because he's a fag.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Imagine this…. You are making out with her and you pull down the shoulder straps of her dress and fondle ‘dem titties. As you kiss her neck and move your mouth down to her nipples your inadequate dick is throbbing in anticipation of sliding into her ham wallet. You run your hand up her leg moving towards her hatchet wound with eager anticipation. When your hand gets between her legs you wrap your hands around a veiny, smooth shaft. What do you do? You worked through all the femininity and now have a handful of masculinity that cannot be denied because in this sexual transaction you now have two dicks that must ejaculate. Damn. The Crying Game in reality! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Second off, the legit exact defense was used successfully by Rachel Maddow. . Actually, that case is quite different. She made one off-hand comment on one show about OAN being “paid Russian propaganda” (or something like that) in specific reference to a news story on the Daily Beast that one of the OAN journalists was literally working for a Russian government-owned news agency, IIRC. It was one comment on one show, specifically related to a story (from another news organization). Sure, it was an exaggeration because obviously not everyone at OAN was being paid by Russia, but the fact that one of their journalists apparently was, at least gave the statement (exaggerated as it was) a clear connection to reality. Her legal defense essentially had two parts. 1) she didn’t make the claim about the guy being paid by Russia, she was just reporting on a news story by the Daily Beast 2) her show is NOT a news show, but a political commentary show, so nobody should be surprised at some level of sarcasm, exaggeration, hyperbole, etc. As such, anyone watching her show would have clearly understood that she wasn’t actually making a claim that everyone at OAN was being paid by Russia. Alex Jones, on the other hand, claims that he IS providing news, and claims that he is providing facts/truth. That makes it less credible for him to claim “oh, I am just a commentator/entertainer, so you can’t believe anything I say” Second, he didn’t just make one off-hand comment on one show. He repeatedly made this claim, over and over again on his show. If Rachel Maddow had kept repeating her ridiculous exaggeration over and over again over the next days and weeks, and started to claim that EVERYONE at OAN was being paid by Russia (in other words, the kind of thing Alex Jones was doing), then the defamation case against her would absolutely have been successful, and her defense would not have worked. So yes, the defense is similar - but the situation is very different, IMO. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: He's also a liar. He failed to comply with discovery and directly disobeyed the judge's order in multiple cases. His entire strategy with the cases was to not participate and ignore the trial court and the plaintiffs. When a defendant does that, the plaintiffs cannot prosecute their case and the only remedy is to enter a default judgment against the defendant. Otherwise, a defendant could just pretend like the case didn't exist and it would never get to trial because evidence isn't produced during discovery. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: I'm listening to Mike Adams who says: Judge ordered Alex to turn over all financial records. He did. Judge asked him for his marketing surveys. Alex said they didn't do any and just winged it. Judge said he lied and held summary judgment against him; denying him any opportunity to challenge any of the evidence or accusations.

Actually, that case is quite different. She made one off-hand comment on one show about OAN being “paid Russian propaganda” (or something like that) in specific reference to a news story on the Daily Beast that one of the OAN journalists was literally working for a Russian government-owned news agency, IIRC. It was one comment on one show, specifically related to a story (from another news organization). Sure, it was an exaggeration because obviously not everyone at OAN was being paid by Russia, but the fact that one of their journalists apparently was, at least gave the statement (exaggerated as it was) a clear connection to reality. Her legal defense essentially had two parts. 1) she didn’t make the claim about the guy being paid by Russia, she was just reporting on a news story by the Daily Beast 2) her show is NOT a news show, but a political commentary show, so nobody should be surprised at some level of sarcasm, exaggeration, hyperbole, etc. As such, anyone watching her show would have clearly understood that she wasn’t actually making a claim that everyone at OAN was being paid by Russia. Alex Jones, on the other hand, claims that he IS providing news, and claims that he is providing facts/truth. That makes it less credible for him to claim “oh, I am just a commentator/entertainer, so you can’t believe anything I say” Second, he didn’t just make one off-hand comment on one show. He repeatedly made this claim, over and over again on his show. If Rachel Maddow had kept repeating her ridiculous exaggeration over and over again over the next days and weeks, and started to claim that EVERYONE at OAN was being paid by Russia (in other words, the kind of thing Alex Jones was doing), then the defamation case against her would absolutely have been successful, and her defense would not have worked. So yes, the defense is similar - but the situation is very different, IMO. Does he really claim to be news? (Serious question) His show screams opinion to me based off the ridiculous nature of his tirades. Like the samurai link I just posted. I agree completely. He’s sort of stuck in a catch-22. He is OBVIOUSLY just an entertainer, who gets ratings (makes money) by saying crazy shit. But, a lot of his listeners BELIEVE his crazy shit, so in order to keep them (and keep making money) he has to pretend and claim that he is telling them the truth. Basically, he’s like the WWF wrestling of news. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/1715/tenor-1735887.gif I've heard interviews with him that are pretty good. He knows a lot of the real declassified CIA stuff, but he just glosses over them a lot. There was a really good one with him and Michael Malice, I forget the 3rd guy. Malice would debunk and affirm various claims of Jones calmly with evidence. Was a good listen |

But the stories he reads, he mainly just reads the headlines and then talks about them. They're also from sources that people here would dismiss outright. Oh, zero hedge article, obviously fake. At the same time, at least 87% of what he talks about is true |
