Grand Fromage posted:My read is Alex is generally aware of KF existing but recognizing Dan might be a stretch. It's just one more globalist attack among many and who can keep all that straight? That's also my guess at this point, especially after hearing the deposition tapes. When someone criticizes him, regardless of context he doesn't see actual people, he sees chess pieces moved in front of him by the hand of The Devil

Marsupial Ape posted:Yeah, we’ll compile a goon favorite eps list and I’ll edit it into the OP. 565 will forever be a personal favorite to me because it's one of the few moments where Alex sells out on a philosophical level. I mean yeah he regularly takes money to pitch his audience on supplements that don't do poo poo, but that's just the podcasting game. Here he can't stop himself from revealing his utter disdain for Mike Lindell every few minutes, but for now the pillow money is good so he soldiers on all the way through the interview.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Dismissing Q was what actually killed him off - I think he definitely had the chops in to take over that whole thing, but he saw it as a threat to his empire. In fact I can't help but see his second wave of Sandy Hook stuff in 2018 as an attempt to regain the ground that he had to Pizzagate, as that wound down, and regain his place on top of the midden. The thing about Q vs Alex Jones is that the two are fundamentally incompatible. Jones traffics in apocalyptic doom, buy brain pills and disaster preparedness kits on his store and stuff them in a secret fridge in your basement, because you'll need them when the (((Globalists))) declare open war on honest hard-working Americans like you. Q meanwhile traffics in hope (For fascists anyway) don't worry about the lizard people, Trump's got this, so how about you buy this T-shirt I made with a big Q on it so he knows you're rooting for him. And yeah, this probably cost Jones millions of dollars in the long run because as it so turns out there's a ton of conservatives who feel like they've been handed nothing but L's since the late 90's and need a fantasy world to escape to where their children realize their racism/homophobia/stupidity was justified and elected officials give a poo poo about them.

He says he basically just walked in along a road and Alex insisted on pretending that he bushwhacked a secret path. Basically it was way less interesting than it seems.

Marsupial Ape posted:Cocaine is drug of choice for capitalist narcissists. I'm not even being a hyperbolic lefty (which I am) about it. Pop-culture has portrayed cocaine as the nose candy of high paid white stock brokers and executives and Alex thinks movies are real life. I would imagine that like a lot of conservatives, Alex believes there are "Good billionaires" and (((Bad billionaires))), those are the ones who do cocaine, everyone else is too close to executing God's plan on earth to do recreational drugs or cheat on their wives. Even when they do

Every time there's a new deposition episode the phrase I keep thinking of is "Evolutionary Trap" Where an animal has an adapted trait or behavior that would be helpful in most circumstances but fatal in others, like moths who navigate by moonlight flying headlong into exposed lightbulbs and open flames. With Alex Jones and his associates, if Anderson Cooper was asking them questions like these, I'd say Kit Daniels was doing an excellent job deflecting and redirecting when necessary and staying on message to keep the InfoWars audience. In a courtroom however, Words Mean Things and it's really loving important to give clear answers to every question.

Your Gay Uncle posted:It's always funny to me how much Alex and associates all claim to hate Hollywood, but all their ideas are basically taken from movies or tv shows. This is almost every conspiracy theorist. The mindset requires a tendency to connect everything together on a cork-board, so if I saw it in a movie it must lead back to something that the bad guys are planning. See also that guy who led the police on a high speed chase with his children in the backseat because he believed Trump was talking to him through the songs his local radio DJ was selecting.

The conspiracy they peddle is their story and it's never not gonna be a crushing irony that my brain just can't actually engage with.

Mr. Nice! posted:In the past two years Jones has drawn $60m from FSS among other fraudulent transfers to shell companies to try to hide his assets. He also claims that another one of his LLCs has a secured debt against FSS for over $50m that has to be paid as a priority. There's a fraudulent transfers act case in Texas working to unwind those transactions and the bankruptcy court has turned the eye of sauron in that direction as well. This is how most CEO's do it, they aren't *Actually* a billionaire but they have a corporate discretionary fund with effectively infinite money they can access at any time.

Mercury_Storm posted:It was a past episode, so maybe Alex was less into the 'pretending to be a devout Christian' thing that became more popular in America and just got worse after 9/11 and especially into the late 2000s. He definitely talks about being Christian/talking to God in the 2003 episodes, but I get the feeling he wanted to distance himself from Bush's evangelicalism, at least publicly. Nowadays all the chuds are off cosplaying Templars so he has to reflect that

Pirate Radar posted:In one sense, Jones isn’t really that religious. He’s constantly getting Bible stories wrong and if you let him talk for long enough it turns out that he thinks everything is just really advanced/obscure science. It’s all electromagnetism or extra dimensions. This is most of the American far-right nowadays, though not everyone takes it in Jones' direction. Christianity is just an aesthetic choice for them because actually holding themselves up to those ideals would mean forcing white men to live a certain way, and that's what everyone else gets

I remember last time the Q-Shaman was on and Jones kept putting stuff down for him and he refused to pick it up like: -Tell the audience how Pelosi personally led you into certain hallways -What the gently caress you talking about? We kicked rear end on the 6th and it was all us, not an antifa in sight. Now he fully understands the "Vibe" of conspiracy talk shows, where the host speaks their bullshit, you nod, then you speak your bullshit and they nod. Plug your book/project, shake hands, rinse repeat as necessary.
