I almost feel sorry for the trustee. They're going to need to do a lot of cold-reading how Jones even ran his ack-basswards business, and not a lot of time to do it. Jones is definitely going to use that information disparity to defraud the bankruptcy court even further in the meantime.

Here’s the thing - the US trustee’s office is currently managing member of Free Speech Systems, LLC - not Alex Jones. They’re going to be in the offices operating things as well as auditing/winding back fraudulent transfers/etc.

This was the absolute last thing Jones wanted, because the trustee is going to see they are a very liquid and solvent business, and is going to start paying the money to creditors (sandy hook families) instead of Jones.

Wait…so not only is Alex broadcasting from globalist occupied Austin, he’ll be broadcasting from a globalist occupied studio? Wonderful.

I realize that when they say that the trustees are talking over the business, that means they’re talking all the records in the building and going to a third location to sort and administer. That said, I really like the idea of some horrified Trustee employee standing just off camera of the Alex’s stage, agog at his moronic pantomimes.

They're not going to interrupt the day to day operations of the business. They're just going to be controlling the money. Jones is going to continue to be Jones.

Any of the transfers out of the company in the relevant period will be scrutinized along with any future ones, but generally speaking the trustee is going to try to not disrupt the business. They want the business to succeed and the creditors to get paid.

Which means Jones can’t continue to be Jones. They should probably fire him and hire some actual talent. Just stick Mike Mitchell in the chair. Nobody will notice.

For the interested Jones is on the stand today in the Connecticut damages trial

As of this moment the court is in recess due to technical issues, but he'll likely be up all day.

Ended up watching the whole thing today. Pretty intense and lots of Alex trying his hardest to ramble despite Pattis literally screaming at him and the judge counciling Jones like a half dozen times.

"What? Should I use my hands?" (The judge to Pattis asking the court to stop Alex talking somehow after the jury left)

It's bad, very much agreed. A real goddamn shame that (I assume) Barnes can't be added to the suit, though one can hope hoping Mattei's team can add the day's contents to Evidence that Jones will never loving stop.

It just gets worse the more you learn about it. Having your kid murdered then hounded by illegal private investigations and violent cultists until you move out of state for fear of life and limb.


Then that and more keeps happening for years, so some rear end in a top hat can shill boner pills.

I've been listening since late '20 and I still have some good sized gaps. I can only cook so much, and I have 4-5 hours of new KF every week and my other podcasts before I can even touch chipping away at the backlog. I was going a lot faster until I stopped needing to drive 2 hours to the hospital once a week, but for some reason I don't miss that even if JorDan made that drive significantly more pleasant.

Listening to an old episode yesterday (253 or 254) I heard Alex say the word "Supremacist" correctly. Dan and Jordan didn't even comment on it but now I know he CAN say it properly and every time he doesn't is going to prick just a little bit worse.

What shattered my world is I saw a video of some other chuds also saying supremist. I thought it was just Alex. I guess it's a thing.

Sadly, it's an actual dialectal thing common to some parts of the South and not specific to Jones/chuds. They have an actual, functional rule in their version of English that deletes repeated syllables containing the same consonant, not too dissimilar other English deletion rules (like how no one actually says "twelfth" with all those sounds when speaking casually).

I try to not make fun of that kind of stuff because then what really is the difference between that and someone who speaks AAVE or something? It's just labeling another less prestigious version as "bad" and feeds into a bunch of classist/racist territory.

Yeah but Alex used to say it properly, and the chuds in question that I heard it from were not from the south.

I started listening to the podcast.

Then I started going through the backlog, cherry picking the most interesting dates and descriptions.

On 2 different devices and 3 different podcast apps!

The main one of both I accidentally deleted my podcast listening history.

So now if i go into the back catalogue it's a magical mystery tour, of 'Does this sound familiar', or 20 minutes in "gently caress. I remember this one'

I am very smart!

Back when I'd wear headphones with wires I'd be cooking or doing general maintenance stuff and every god drat time I'd get to one of those super long pauses I'd have enough time to think I'd snagged and pulled the jack out again, check I was wrong and then go back to what I was doing long enough to worry maybe I really did pull it out.

Every. Single. Time. I hate that fucker's pauses so much.

It's been a while since I played The Magic School Bus in Outer Space on Windows 98, but storms on Earth are not quite like the storms on Jupiter, considering some of them are more than three entire Earths in size.

Then again, I've never had the brazen confidence of a narcissist attempting to Dunning-Kreuger their way through life.
