Not doom posting, but he won't. I hope CT ends up being a higher figure, and that there is some fallout from the phone, and that other families decide to go after him too, but all that is iffy and none of it is going to result in him being broke.

So step 1 is yes, step 2 is her plaintiff's attorney intends to argue "nuh-uh" and that the cap is unconstitutional, including before the supreme courts of Texas and the US, step 3 is that it probably won't work but should keep alex sweating slightly more than usual for a while.

Prior to reality collapsing in on itself a few years back, conspiracy theorists tended to be people who broadly thought they were smarter than everyone else; I can see through the bullshit and put the pieces together in a way normal people can't. On top of genuine conspiracy theorists there were the kind who had listened to Art Bell because they love wacky poo poo like Bigfoot and ghosts and psychic powers because it was silly and transgressive. Jones had a smaller audience back then but it included both of those types; true believers and people just there for entertainment.

There's also a thing about how white people were invented by an ancient evil scientist to destroy true humans. It's more than a black power movement, it's an explicitly black supremacist movement that is also extremely antisemitic.

I used to work at a store that sold the My Pillow way before the lawsuits and trump bullshit and just from the image on the box I assumed he was a southern dandy type, with a gentle Carolinian accent. First time I heard him actually speak it was like he was saying "ain't got time to sleep" or like he was going to proclaim his pillow would make you a goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus. It threw me for a bit of a loop.

FoolyCharged posted:My memory of HIPPA is that it doesn't even ban who you can send data to. Sending privileged health information is blanket banned by default, HIPPA just explicitly tells patient care providers who they CAN send that info to in the interest of the patients well being. It's HIPAA not HIPPA but more or less, covered entities are restricted in how they can collect and disclose identifiers connected to health information, and authorization is generally required for those. You authorize a hospital to collect and use your information, and potentially to disclose it for things like research purposes. HIPAA waivers for research are a thing, but they generally require researchers to talk about why they can't get authorization in the first place ("we're looking at records from 10,000 patients from a 15 year period to find relevant cases"), why that's the minimum necessary to accomplish their goals ("because this is rare and we need to comb through 10,000 records to find enough to be statistically significant") and explain how they'll be protecting confidentiality ("we're going to put this on an unsecured, unprotected usb drive with tons of other unrelated data and just give the whole thing to anyone who needs anything that might be on it").

crime fighting hog posted:Kinda surprised he never tried to run for office but when you have a cash cow Yeah I think Jones was too wacky for politics early on, and then by the time politics caught up to how crazy his bullshit is he was making far, far more than her ever could as a politician. The job is also in a sense more secure in that he didn't have to face elections ever. I also don't think he necessarily wants "power" in the way that most people who pursue politics do, and while I think he believes a lot of his own crazy bullshit I don't think he believes that only he could fix the legislative issues he believes in. He thinks he's most effective right where he is, helping people see what he sees.

Last time I got called for jury duty I went in to it thinking like "I'm gonna have a real high bar for convicting, they're gonna really have to work to make me believe the cops aren't just railroading some poor sod" and then it was a cop who was accused of abusing and stalking his ex wife and I was just like "oh yeah that fucker did it" just from them laying out what he was accused of.

There's an obvious difference between "a bunch of nutjobs started calling me at work to scream that I'm a liar" and "a bunch of nutjobs started calling me at work to scream that I'm a liar about my dead son, the light of my life, saying he never existed and that I'm a government agent trying to hurt them." It's important to establish how much they were hurting already to understand the cruelty of what Jones did, it creates context.

Yeah, the few people I know who got into infowars are people who will ignore anything because all input is immediately interpreted in a very specific way that has nothing to do with how anyone else would interpret it, and they've always been like that. It's kind of like body dysmorphia in that it doesn't matter what the person actually looks like, they see themselves a certain way. It didn't matter that this person is crying when talking about their dead child, they're lying and an actor. If it wasn't that it would be something else, "this person isn't actually just giving me directions, they somehow know about my erectile dysfunction and are subtly making fun of me for it."

Oh my yes. There's a whole section about how Jones spent years calling this guy "beefcake" because he accidentally showed Alex Jones some beefcake porn, and this guy has thus made the accusation that Jones was grooming him for gay sex.

Y'all should really, really read that deposition. It's a former employee and video editor for Jones who worked for him for something like 13 years, and was mostly a true believer. He was a fan of Jones when he first met him in the early 2000s. This is a guy who happily edited videos for Jones about 9/11 being a conspiracy, about the atrocities Obama was going to commit, all that jazz. This guy was looking for embarrassing photos of Hilary to add to the video they were doing about her, and was excited he found one they didn't already have when it turned out it was actually a link to a gay porn website, and only clicked on it the exact moment he excitedly called his boss, Alex Jones, over to see. Okay, that's pretty embarrassing and yes, it's hilarious. Jones then proceeded to call this guy Beefcake for years because of this. He and a buddy went into this guy's office and put gay porn on his monitors as a prank. The deposed video editor believes earnestly that this means Jones was grooming him for a relationship. Later Jones' lawyer asks him about an accusation that he "screamed that [another employee] was a lizard monster in disguise" and the guy they deposed denies that he yelled at this guy, but not that he believes in lizard monsters. Anyway even this psycho had limits, and got fired after raising concerns that their reporting on Sandy Hook was improper and that David Duke wasn't being challenged by anyone else in the office. So this guy's a nut, but somehow less of a nut than Jones, right? Jones' attorney takes the tactic of calling out inconsistencies in his linkedin profile as evidence that he doesn't have a photographic memory and thus that nothing he says can be trusted, and by demanding that he search his phone email in front of them (on zoom) for random things because he thinks that by this guy bringing his phone which could hypothetically access files he has thus physically brought files with him and they're all fair game for the deposition. They get the judge on the line and the transcript does not include what that sounded like, but when they come back Jones' lawyer continues to ask the deposed to search his phone for stuff while saying "I mean I guess you don't have to, although you are under oath, but I suppose you technically could not do that, I mean if you're not an honest person" while Mattei is screaming in the background "the Judge JUST TOLD YOU you can't do that!"

He talks about how he filed a grievance and the agency apparently refused to make a judgment either way. Alex's lawyer believes this means they found in Jones' favor, the video guy says that's not what the paper says but he lost the paper, Jones' lawyer asks him where he lost it, "if I knew that it wouldn't be lost," etc etc.

The part I'm really intrigued by, there's a redacted section talking about some kind of procedure that Alex may or may not have paid for this guy to have. It's something that they refer to with a long name and occasionally a short name. My money's on "cosmetic rhinoplasty" and "nose job."
