Reading Jon Ronson’s book Them, about global conspiracies, I was quite surprised that he met a young Alex Jones. They ended up sneaking into some kind of billionaire eyes wide shut style party in the woods.

My question: did Alex used to be cool, just a fun Art Bell style conspiracy fan?

When he was on cable access maybe, those days are pretty long gone.

But yeah, that was the Bohemian Grove, and iirc basically Ronson walked in and Jones just kept manically hiding in bushes. I dont think they even met anyone since its more just a vacationr etreat for rich fucks, and it was off-season.

If you like Ronson, he uh, was that guy who tracked down the guy that Jones crippled for This American Life and interviewed him.

there's also an interview with Lenny Posner, the Sandy Hook father whose SSN that Wolfgang Halbig stole.

It's important to look at how they both described the event. Ronson dressed like a preppie and walked in the front door to find a bunch of rich people having a somewhat boring party. Jones presented it that he had to do secret agent poo poo to sneak in and found people making sacrifices to satan.

Judge dismissed the jury early because the defense is trying to introduce new evidence without telling the plaintiffs about it. She is crushing him right now.

Its hard to follow, but the prosecution was complaining about the defense insulting them in court which is a big no-no.

Not on Art's level, but the KF coverage of old Alex episodes shows that they were a lot more fun and light. He even let callers disagree with him and stuff and didn't flip out like a loser little titty baby.

He was always bad but he was a more functional human being in the early days.

The short version is "no, the judge cannot disbar people. Only the Bar can disbar people." The long version is that when she brought up the bit about sanctions she's basically saying put up or shut up because if the opposing counsel is ACTUALLY lying you should be complaining to the Bar about it and not the judge.

Disbarment is usually with the states licensing board/bar association, not any random judge

Plus you gotta have someone make a complaint and it's a whole thing

The judge should never have to give a "stop denigrating your fellow lawyers and calling them liars" speech to counsel like that. That's a "get your poo poo together" directed at Mullet.

Even then, you can skate along for years before getting your ticket punched permanently. A lot of people get suspended for a year or two and that's it.

This is day 2 of possibly 10-14 and defense has already admitted they’re wildly unprepared and trying to pull shenanigans in defiance of pre trial orders. Bankston (pbuh) is mopping the floor with him.

The thing that actually happened to Rudy is even funnier because they suspended his license before they even completed the bar hearing, which has apparently never been done before

I was led to believe that there was a time in his early 20s where he wasn't.

His parents were part of the Birch society, so he's been marinated in lunacy since childhood. The basic belief is that any attempt at civil rights is a Jewish/Communist plot to weaken the USA since black people can't actually be equal, as white supremacy is part of God's design.

Over the years gay and trans rights have been added as part of it, and globalist is the preferred name for the enemies now instead of communist or Jewish intellectuals.

Insomuch as a hate elemental like Alex was once an innocent kid, I blame his dad for paying for Alex's early shows and starting him down this path. Also his parents should have gotten him therapy for anger issues and delusional thinking when he was a teenager.
