Someone posted a video of the Roger Stone depo on reddit, and holy loving poo poo, I don't recall Dan mentioning that he was bouncing around like someone tweaked out on meth.

Roger 😬 Stone


Also, I recently started to branch out into some different podcasts and was pleasantly surprised to find out Dan and Jordan guest hosted on God Awful Movies #330.

They review/mock an anime produced by Happy Science, a cult I haven't heard of, but that seems to heavily overlap with Project Camelot. It's got Grey's, Reptilians, Pleiadians, the works. It's a great listen if you like the KF PC episodes.

Holy poo poo that was something. I mean it looks like tweaker drugs but thought it could be hyper agitation until that last scene...

Dan and Jordan have talked a lot about how whenever the media covers Alex, they take a lot of his lies at face value. He says he's a self-made millionaire, so they call him a self-made millionaire (he's not). He says he's on thousands of radio stations, so they say he's on thousands of radio stations (he's not).

Journalism has been hallowed out for quite some time, and the last decade has been even worse. In the early teens, facebook lied to everyone and said that video engagement was far above any text engagement. It wasn't. It actually lagged behind quite a bit, but facebook likes to lie about things like this. As a result, so many places dropped all of their actual journalists in a pivot to video. Then a few years later, facebook revealed their lie. Instead of rebuilding the text force that had been previously let go, media outlets collectively just fired their video people and became pr regurgitating machines because no one there is paid well enough or has the chops to actually give a give.

See, e.g. Adam Schefter.

Alex’s dad basically bought his first radio show. He was the station manager/owner’s dentist and set up a deal to buy ad time during Alex’s show.

If I have my internet history right, the pivot to video gave us a legion of cool podcasters when all these journos were let off. So maybe there would have never been a behind the bastards, knowledge fight, and what not without that Facebook lie. In conclusion it's impossible to say whether mark Zuckerberg is good or bad

I usually pitch Knowledge Fight to friends as scratching the same itch reality television does. The boys are documenting a conman's life falling apart in real-time. Much like Tiger King, every time you think the story can't possibly get any crazier, it gets crazier.

Case in point, I'm going to listen to Alex Jones interview Mike Tyson TYOOL 2022 today

It is curious that Alex has been out of studio this entire time. I'm under the impression that the Jan 6 hearings haven't been terribly scandalous -- or at least any more scandalous than the event already was -- so what could be prompting Alex's uncharacteristic caution is a question.

Even Dan and Jordan are of the opinion that while Alex was providing support to many people who organized the insurrection in the leadup, Alex himself likely didn't do all that much the day of. I'm open to being wildly wrong on this count, but if there were anything obvious about Jan 6 that concerned Alex and the attempted sedition, then it would've been something that he didn't record on camera.

Though maybe he just doesn't have any good talking points yet...

my guess is that Alex is tied up in a lot of stuff and Roger Stone & Co told him to shut the gently caress up and don't say anything stupid during the Jan 6 hearings and hopefully they can get out of it without going to jail.

And the only way to get him to shut the gently caress up about Jan 6 is to keep him away from the studio.

Was there any confirmation outside Jones’ own assertions that he had negotiated immunity with the committee? Actual media reported at least some cooperation between Jones and the committee which I don’t interpret to mean he actually ratted on anyone but if he wasn’t actually given immunity from perjury I could imagine him reacting live to the hearings would be a no-go for him.

I am going to be incredibly generous and condense Loudermilk's version to "It was a slow day and I don't do poo poo, so when a large family white privileged their way into my office, I was like gently caress it, it's tour time"

I don't believe for a minute that he didn't know the Jan 6 committee sent him a letter, though.

I don't exactly recall where it was mentioned, but Jones sent a letter to the committee essentially offering cooperation in exchange for immunity, but was extremely unspecific about what he wanted immunity from. Somewhere in the thread is a Twitter source from a law-degree-haver saying that Jones' letter to the committee was legally worthless, because he was asking for immunity "in general," which isn't really how it works.

The only difference we have with regards to the Jan 6 committee and the Sandy Hook trials is that his is a criminal trial instead of a civil one. The civil courts could only levy monetary fines for misbehaviour, and Jones essentially has bottomless pockets given his position in the right wing media ecosystem. In other cases, he can simply choose to not pay them, as one settled-out-of-court defamation trial plaintiff showed up as a creditor to his bankruptcy trail having still not received payment despite having settled years ago. Conversely, this is a criminal matter where penalties for noncompliance have actual teeth, but we have no previous basis for how Alex would compose himself regarding a criminal court.
