I have a feeling that anyone who has the raw nerve to do so doesn’t care if it’s immediate execution.

I really wonder how this is all going to end. I’m not expecting a Waco style disaster but I truly don’t have a good feeling.

I don’t see Jones as really being willing to go down Waco style, or pulling some kind of Jonestown thing, given how much he likes his comfortable life full of toys and nice consumables that would be harder to get if he withdrew to a compound, and how much he hates actually talking to his most fervent fans. He’s going to leave a legacy of madness behind when he eventually kicks it though, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that movement produces a major violent incident like that.

Yeah, he'll never need to go that far. He doesn't actually need a studio with a hundred employees. If he lost everything he could downgrade to a home podcast and blame the lovely quality on the elites who are trying to silence him. Go on a paid speaking tour blathering about free speech or whatever.

It's not like he has to worry about his retirement and how he's going to support himself in his golden years. He'll be lucky to make it to 55 before his heart blows up.

What's going on with Jones's bankruptcy proceedings

Trustee has recommended a new CRO which is a retired CPA who has worked a number of bankruptcies with the US Trustee in other cases. Lee and Schwartz have both filed for rehearing for their denial but I don’t think judge will humor it. The US Trustee also listed that a paraprofessional will be working with them at a rate of $150/hr (paid by FSS).

When his organs quit on him and he dissolves into a puddle of chili-scented goo, whoever picks up the torch from him (probably one of the other fuckfaces already working under him at InfoWars) will sell a new line of Jones Memorial supplements claiming they’ll give you the same vitality and robust health that AJ himself had before he undershot his cohort’s life expectancy by twenty years.

See, I was thinking that once they smell the scent of death on him, some of his subordinates will try to rise up and depose him.

But since none of them have the same skill to keep the operation going, they'll just try to stab each other in the back and keep proclaiming themselves the president of the Republic of Texas new head of InfoWars.

I have my money on congestive heart failure from the right amount of snake oils that he's selling mixed with a 0.3 or higher BAC one particularly bad day, if that security camera footage was legitimately indicative of his daily alcohol intake.

This is especially ironic to think about considering the jury had to be be read the actuarial tables for life expectancy of the plaintiffs earlier today when they were reading the charges.

But on note of actual verdict, the plaintiffs lawyers made it kind of abundantly clear that the jury should factor a specific thing: "We do not want you to judge with your sympathy, but with your empathy."

And judging by empathy and the human condition alone is going to net that 100 mil per family minimum, I think. But it's been pointed out over and over that FSS/Jones made and is still making bank from this, and it's far more than they were willing to show, so i'm going to up the ante and say 300 million per.

And if there's punitive damages, well. That's all she wrote.

Huh, cause I had assumed the opposite.

I know the jury's deliberating tomorrow starting at 9:30AM (they mentioned it at the end), so if they magically get done at 10:07 why would they wait to announce? Especially because Judge Bellis is the one actually determining damages.

It's not like I actually know what I'm talking about though. I just know some facts that wouldn't make sense with your assumption and I have my own assumptions which might be laughably wrong. :shrug:

The trial itself with entire courtroom staff was meeting Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays, but it's not like the courthouse is closed. They're just doing other stuff because courthouses are big rear end public buildings that run important chunks of major government infrastructure.

They work weekends too, as has even come up in during Kit Daniels' deposition.

But the jury is still deliberating and the Plaintiff's are on 15 minutes notice to return to the courthouse as long as the jury is still doing their thing.

Fake edit : It's not like the judge just sits there waiting for the jury all day until they're done.

Oh there will be more than one way to wring blood from a stone, and Alex Jones and FSS are no exception.

The sad part is that Alex Jones said it himself: "INFOWARS is the #1 Alternative News Sources in the world." It's going to loving suck to hear him coming back to whatever airwave he chooses to engage.

I'm thinking that if Jones's health starts to fail from over-drinking that he'll be cast out as a loser from his fellow conspiracy theorists. Not unlike how Fred Phelps was supposed to be an eternal being in his church but once his health started failing they cast him out as a fake messiah.

Jones is absolutely replaceable to these nutcases and I think once they get a new personality to form their cult around that we'll never see Jones mentioned again. They'll happily throw him to the meat grinder.

I've seen liver failure, that's how my mother went.

Not from drinking, barely drunk her whole life.

But she was pushing 80 and eventually somethings going to fail.

Took about 6 months from first signs of failure. She was tough.

Having seen it I don't recommend it.

The liver shutting down is an absolute hell on the human body, no matter what age you are. The medical processes going on that filter horrible poo poo through your body on a daily basis is something that honestly should be taught about in human anatomy/biology classes for, you know, everyone. I'm so sad to see people not know very simple things to help a sick friend out and what to look for. The worst are people who have to carry epi-pens and hope that when they start seizing, someone actually listened to them and A) Place the ORANGE SIDE TO THE THIGH, B) Don't hesitate to go for the thick muscle in the thigh, and C) NOT THROW THE loving EPI AWAY before driving your seizing friend to the hospital.

Also, D), no ambulance rides. Because :911:

Anyways, place your bets on this getting back...soon. And remember we have one more trial after this.

The plaintiffs should thank Alex for his help with the globalist agenda as a double agent, try to get his fans to turn on him. Maybe one of them goes Mark David Chapman on him.

Unlikely. He's inoculated his audience against that accusation by talking/bragging about how the globalists have tried to recruit him time and time again and FAILED because he's SO COMMITTED to the CAUSE
