The Official Alex Jones Thread!

I did love the Washington Post headline on this story:

Facebook Bans Far Right Leaders Including Louis Farrakhan, Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos for Being Dangerous.

One of these things is not like the others; one of these things just doesn't belong....

If you had used a complete sentence, you might have made a point. If you did mean to say that this will increase Jones' attention, you would be wrong. Even if his web traffic doubled for a minute, after it comes back down, all he has is increased web traffic minus facebook minus youtube minus twitter minus instagram. In other words, lower total reach.

I'd put money on that being because when the news came out that "Alex Jones has been banned from ......." many of those who have never heard of him (and that would be the vast majority of the world) asked "Who the **** is Alex Jones?", so they Googled him and ended up on his website.
 
I don't know where this fits but Alex was deposed early last month about Sandy Hook. Jones, who is being sued by multiple Sandy Hook families of students and educators killed in the shootings, admitted it really happened.

Huh?

"And I, myself, have almost had like a form of psychosis back in the past where I basically thought everything was staged, even though I've now learned a lot of times things aren't staged," he said. CNN Link

Oh come on, that's his defense, it really did happen but he was too psycho to know it? Big letdown. I thought he'd go proudly down with his ship. Instead, he's paddling that lifeboat like crazy!

"Good" lawyers always come up with innovative defenses. Why does this shock you?

he's trying to cover his ass with what he said during his divorce proceedings while also trying to bail himself out of this.
 
She will pay for this

But, but what about Tulsi Gabbard ?

She said:


If anyone needed further evidence that Facebook is censoring free speech, they provided that evidence themselves by deleting Elizabeth Waarren's post calling for the breakup of FaceBook.

FaceBook proved the charge that they are undermining free speech. If FaceBook will censor my speech, they will censor your speech as well.

This is why we must stand up for free speech. Whether we agree with the content of that speech or not.

Besides the obvious benefit of having less people exposed to his poisonous ideas, there will presumably be less people suckered into buying his poisonous, ineffectual supplement products.

I knew I shouldn’t but I went there to look for the Laura Loomer meltdown.
 
Alex Jones' Infowars has settled with Matt Furie, the creator of the Pepe Frog character, who had sued for violation of copyright after Infowars began selling pro-Trump posters prominently featuring the character during the campaign.

The settlement requires Infowars to pay Furie $15,000 - which is more money than Infowars took in from the poster sales - and never use the character again for any purpose. According to Infowars' attorneys, this means InfoWars has "won" the lawsuit.
 
Poor old Alex (and his lawyers)... too stupid to understand that you go into these lawsuits asking for much, much more than you are prepared to settle for.

You know you will settle for $20,000 so you ask for $5 million - the plaintiff settles for $25,000, you win! If you went in asking for $20,000, the plaintiff pretty much knows he won't ever have to pay that out.

No judgement for legal costs was made, so presumably Furie is considerably out of pocket, and perhaps Jones and his lawyers see that as a win.
