I listened to the Behind the Bastards episodes on Alex Jones, and they talked about his early career. It definitely seemed like early on, he was much less 100% conspiracy nut, and it seems much easier to believe that early Alex Jones-as-we-know-him WAS more of a character than how he actually was, but over time, 9/11 broke him and he fell into the fear mongering snake oil salesman mindset that ended up taking root in his brain.

Knowledge Fight just recently reviewed Jones' 9/11 coverage, and it really wasn't that different than what he does elsewhere. The only reason he wasn't fear mongering with snake oil is because of a slightly different business arrangement. He was a goldbugger at the time, so he was fearmongering about the imminent collapse of the monetary system and the European Union instead.

9/11 was Someone Else's Tragedy which didn't really affect Alex personally, which enabled him to react to it in much the same way he has done in multiple public tragedies since, Sandy Hook included. The only true thing Alex said during his legal depositions was that his response to it in calling it fake/staged/whatever was that it was "boilerplate." He has been doing the same shtick since the Oklahoma City Bombing in '93.

People want to believe "Alex Jones" was a mask that became a person, but the underlying problem was always there, and his material wealth has simply reinforced his already-extant worst qualities over time. Media of him from the pre-aughts time period is rare, so we just assume he might have been a normal dude once upon a time, but that still discounts the fact that he was raised within a Bircherite cult where pathologically anticommunist reading material outpopulated any comic books. The conspiracy mindset was always going to be a foregone conclusion for him.

I was impressed by the part where he had a friend from college on the show, who took one engineering course and said ‘sure, I guess so’ after being egged on for 5 minutes, and within hours exaggerated that out into ‘a structural engineering expert called in and confirmed this is 100% a controlled demolition inside job by the CIA.’ The dust hadn’t even settled. Dan from KF is right, he half-reads a headline and yells in run on sentences to fit whatever agenda he has.

It has to happen. If it wasn't going to happen he wouldn't be funnelling money to his parents in the hope they die and the hope the paper trail dies off too and he just magically inherits it in a few years after this blows over. Or like puts money into a trust for himself via that so that it doesn't count and he totally can't touch that until it all blows over. Everyone on earth can see the loving shell game, his best bet is to run out the clock on the publics attention until its only wonks like me 5 years on that remember when he has to pay off but he magically got the money from space or god so he wasn't lying dear viewer. And in fact needs more hover money now (i assume bitcoin will be gone by then and hover money will be in fashion).

If this was something like an election that required public support, I'd say your pessimism might be justified. However, what Alex Jones is facing is a series of lube-free hate-gently caress courtroom gangbangs from groups of people - Sandy Hook parents, attorneys, the courts - he has seriously mistreated and enraged for years. This isn't going away just because the public stops paying attention.

Tweet's wrong, they got tricked by misleading wording in Jones' filing.

So far, Jones' post-verdict sales are lower than before the verdict, though not by much.

FSS' revenue was $961k two weeks ago, $900k last week, and are expected to come in at just $800k this week.

Based on these numbers, Jones forecasts that his revenues could skyrocket to $450k a day...but this appears to be pure speculation, since he has not yet seen any noticeable increase.

And while even $800k is still an increase from where his revenues were at when the current bankruptcy arrangement was put into place, that's not due to rising sales - it seems that Jones was having supply problems and wasn't able to secure a consistent supply of product, which limited sales volume.

He is also a very rich person(tm) and courts are filled with little legal pillows so that they are punitive and crippling and chilling effectish to poors but wrist slaps to productive companies like jones somehow is. We've been introduced into the literal cap that only affects rich people for punishment and turns out almost all states have one and each gets weirder. If nothing else it was a teaching moment of why big companies would bend over backwards to make a case be a problem in some weird state. Very few people are going to rally to him, he's loving radioactive, but, being rich and getting sued is something many people have a vested interest in so I don't expect heaven and earth to move to give us the storybook ending we all want. If someone Alex Jones sized falls, the gates open is what people are surely thinking.

The way most rich people abuse the legal system is by shutting the gently caress up, hiring good lawyers, and not pissing off the courts on a personal level, all things which Alex Jones has demonstrated he is incapable of.

Remember, this isn't the end of Jones legal troubles, it's the beginning. It took so long because Jones kept trying to play games and the judge entered a default judgement against him, which I'm given to understand never happens.

Following that, his lawyer sent a huge, multi-gigabyte AlexJonesCrimes.iso to opposing council and didn't claw it back, which I'm also given to understand never happens.

The past couple of weeks has been a demonstration that even with the system tilted in his favor, Alex Jones is completely incapable of not loving this up for himself and will absolutely continue to do so. The only thing he can do is what he has been doing: Slowing things down, and even that's becoming harder to do.

I honestly half-expect this to end much like the Lowtax saga, which I'd hate to see. I want to see him called to the stand over and over in civil court and just continuously step in dogshit every time.

Remember: Even Trump had most of his defeats come from the courts.

I disagree. I encourage you to consume the body of work that is the Knowledge Fight podcast. You will learn quite quickly that the same basic conspiratorial nonsense has persisted in his head and goes back to the John Birch Society bullshit that his father instilled in him.
