Alex Jones has lost the Defamation case against him.

some of those depositions CM156 mentioned, for those interested:

His body language and speech when he's out of his comfort zone like that is a far more engrossing tale than anything he's tried claiming on his shows.

I'm not big on schadenfreude and such, but watching him squirm because he knows his usual schtick won't stick does have a certain je ne sais quoi. Not gonna watch all of it tho, since it is overall rather boring imo, and the 10 minutes I've given it is already more of my time than I should've.

Jones' whole system relies on him being able to speak without anyone being able to contradict him with hard fact.
He can wave around papers and say they say whatever he wants on his show. He can't do that in a deposition where he can be contradicted right on the spot.

Here's hoping we can say the same about his case of pancreatic, bowel, testicular, prostate or bladder cancer. Whichever is the more humiliating and miserable one.

Honestly good and fuck em.

He was at least funny with gay frogs and screaming memes. But after the Sandy Hook actor nonsense with nothing but legit impunity he can fuck right off. And anyone who even entertains that idea can eat shit as far as I am concernened.

"Did you say X?"
"I don't think I ever said X"
*Plays video of Alex Jones saying X"
"That looks edited"

Funny enough, he almost certainly genuinely has no memory of most of the things he says on air, he generally records while profoundly drunk.

 

[Fallen Soldier]

Maybe next time he should watch what he says about others.

Oh who am I kidding?

As if an ego that big could resist needing to "tell the world how it is".

I had a chance to look over the filings in the Connecticut case, as they are publicly available online here and here.

The motion to depose Hillary Clinton was probably the highlight of this case for me. In my personal opinion, I think the judge was correct to deny it.

A U.S. bankruptcy judge on Wednesday blocked a settlement between families who have sued Alex Jones over his false claims about the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting, saying their attempt to divide the bankrupt conspiracy theorist's assets exceeded his court’s authority.

The decision complicates a proposed sale of Jones' Infowars platform, and could spur divisions between families who sued Jones and won nearly $1.3 billion in Connecticut court cases and those who won $50 million in Texas courts. The two groups of families had proposed a settlement that would guarantee the Texas families a 25% share of Jones' future payments made to the Sandy Hook families, with the Connecticut families taking 75%.


U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez rejected the settlement at a hearing in Houston, saying the families were asking him to also divide up the assets of Infowars' parent company Free Speech Systems, despite the fact that the company had been dismissed from bankruptcy last year.

"I can't do that," Lopez said. “That case is closed."

What doesn't seem to be mentioned for whatever reason is that Elon Musk has been inserting his lawyers into this case since sometime during election campaign season, which I garuntee are the ones dumping their overpaid lumps on the scales here

“I was told Elon is going to be very involved in this,” Jones said during a live broadcast on X. After Infowars was seized and the site shut down, Jones promptly began operating under the name and branding of a new venture, dubbed the Alex Jones Network, which streams on X. Jones noted that lawyers for X were present at the hearing, adding, somewhat mysteriously, “The cavalry is here. Trump is pissed.” (He later elaborated that “Trump knows I’m one of his biggest defenders.”)

And if you listen to any of his shows lately you'll hear him gleefully building a lovely lil nest egg right up Elon's anal cavity for most of his airtime, I wish I was exaggerating, it's absurdly cartoonish levels of sycophancy

Elon Musk owns your X account, not you, according to docs submitted by his lawyers in a bizarre case

In the court filing, X argued that while users retain ownership of the content they post, the accounts themselves remain under X’s control. This distinction, the company claims, prevents accounts from being sold, assigned, or transferred without X’s consent, even as part of bankruptcy
