The best thing about that ramble of insanity that was being broadcast is the admission that if he goes back on the stand, he has to lie under oath to avoid jail.

Which is loving hilarious for the obvious reason, and then the more nuanced ones that aren’t immediately clear. Having to “tell the truth” or “answer honestly” resulting in him “going to jail” is especially funny, because that means that he’s trying to internally justify a way to not say something so bad that it would be worth the charges for perjury and lying to somehow avoid worse ones.

How can this not be used in ughhh some kinda investigation. Is someone building a criminal case now? They should be.

I think that did the absolute opposite of what the saboteur (just go with me here) wanted to accomplish: instead of loving the procedure up, it bolstered the witnesses' words and spirit. Dude is stronger and more determined with his testimony than he was before the (felony) fire alarm pull.

Edit: The scummiest thought just occurred to me. Someone could try and copyright strike this.

The world is falling apart, everyone can see climate change and the way the economy is just not working for like 95%+ of the population.

There is a massive sunk cost fallacy in believing that there is some other explanation than "our politicians are so unbelievably greedy and short-sighted they are willing to destroy humanities way of life to keep the Dow above 20k"

The truth Alex refers to is his position that this entire trial was ginned up by the Hillary Clinton campaign, to make Trump look bad for associating with Jones, and basically everything stipulated in the default.

If they aren't calling Alex I'm sure it won't be long. Alex is the only person who took the stand for the defense in TX. Who else would they call? It's not like they have much of a game plan. In TX and now in this case they don't seem to know if they're even going to call Alex until the day of.

My guess is he’s refusing to participate so he can continue to tell his absolute imbecile audience that he ‘wasn’t allowed’ to mount a defense. Which would have completely exonerated him, but the globalists are behind it, they showed him their secret plans to railroad him but he won’t play along, blah blah blah.

E: Any witnesses he could call could also be easily impeached by their own depositions.

I am very convinced that significant portions of the population have massive undiagnosed lead poisoning or other issues that have severely effected their mental processes and made them more aggressive. With long COVID I'm not expecting this to improve anytime soon.

Boomer brain, and I'm not saying that as a joke. They were exposed to more lead than younger generations, plus getting old means more cognitive problems and part of that is an increase in irritability, decreased rationality, and just generally being more difficult and belligerent. Personality changes for the worse are a sign of cognitive decline, and often the first symptom of dementia

Jones clearly has been having increasing issues himself.

Not to bring up Knowledge Fight again, but they sometimes go back to cover Infowar Shows and topics from years ago. I think the farthest they've gone back is 2000 for his Y2K coverage.

He's clearly degenerated. Gotten lazier, less quick on his feet, way more intolerant of dissent and way, way more aggressive and prone to deranged rants.

It's not just age (He isn't 50 yet, though you wouldn't think so looking at him). He's had multiple nasty COVID infections. Clearly at the very least has been a heavy drinker, he's done multiple shows massively, obviously intoxicated before. Don't think he's done that for awhile though. Oh, and he's mentioned, in one of the few times I've heard him make a claim and think "Yep, sounds legit", that he suffers from terrible sleep apnea. Plus god knows what's in half of those unregulated pills and tonics he takes.

For those wisely skipping the testimony to avoid psychic damage, today featured a witness talking about a youtube video he made with his daughter and murdered son playing the song "What a Wonderful World" together, then playing the video, then scrolling through the comments where people call him a loving faker while the dude wept on the stand.

It was the most brutal evidence presentation I've ever seen.

If I’m making sense of that article correctly, it’s a white supremacist laying claim for the hack. Which is… loving weird? Thought those freaks loved Jones.

Also here’s hoping Jones drinks himself into a stupor and wakes up in a fiery cell with Reagan and Hitler by his side.

It seems to be one of the groypers who posted it, who are Nick Fuentes fans that are generally angry at Alex for not being explicitly anti-semitic enough. The file was titled Don't Spy on Your Employees.mp4 so decent chance someone at infowars leaked it rather than it being a hack. Alex still tries to court the groypers heavily and features Fuentes as much as he can but he doesn't seem to have great success at siphoning off from them or qanon types lately as a lot of them view Alex as too tame or bought off
