Deep dives
The Court Rules Alex's Damages Are Not Dischargeable Through Bankruptcy
The court has ruled that Alex Jones's damages owed to the Sandy Hook families are not dischargeable through bankruptcy. This means he will be responsible for the full amount, which is in the billions of dollars. His attempts to exploit a bankruptcy loophole have failed. He now faces the prospect of owing this debt for the rest of his life, and his personal finances will be affected, even if his company collapses. There are still two pending cases against him, and his appeals are unlikely to be successful. This ruling is a major blow to Alex Jones and his attempts to avoid financial responsibility for his actions.
Alex Jones Distorts the Facts and Presents Himself as Victim
In response to the ruling, Alex Jones presents distorted facts and portrays himself as a victim. He claims that the jury trials were rigged and controlled, despite having the opportunity to present his case in court. He also falsely maintains that he is broke and in significant debt, while evidence suggests he still has substantial assets. Alex manipulates his audience by stoking fear that his own consequences are an attack on their free speech rights. He also misuses quotes from Mark Twain to try and reinforce his narrative. In reality, Alex Jones exploited the legal system, and his attempts to avoid accountability have failed.
Alex Jones Misrepresents the Lawsuits and Creates Divisions
Alex Jones falsely presents the Sandy Hook plaintiffs as competing forces and implies that they are after his money. This mischaracterization seeks to pit the plaintiffs against each other and paint them as money-hungry individuals. In reality, the plaintiffs are united in seeking justice and accountability. Alex's attempts to portray himself as a victim are unfounded, as the court has made it clear that he is responsible for his defamatory actions. His distorted presentation of the cases serves only to further his own narrative and manipulate his audience.
Alex Jones Relies on Outdated Talking Points and Fabricated Narratives
Alex Jones clings to outdated talking points about inflation and misrepresents the current economic situation. He also relies on misleading metaphors and quotes to create a false sense of persecution. His claims that he predicted events and is preparing to sell his assets do not align with evidence of his lavish spending and significant personal wealth. Alex's attempts to downplay his financial responsibilities and present himself as a martyr are disingenuous and intended to manipulate his audience's emotions.
Alex Jones addresses his critics and emphasizes his commitment to the fight
Alex Jones expresses his belief that the globalists are losing and that he is standing strong in the face of opposition. He sees himself as a warrior for humanity and is determined to fight until the end. He urges his audience to continue supporting InfoWars by visiting the website and purchasing products. Jones likens his struggle to that of Colonel Travis during the Battle of the Alamo, seeing himself as a symbol of resistance against the establishment.
Alex Jones highlights the rise of right-wing populist figures in various countries
Alex Jones celebrates the political successes of right-wing populist figures in different countries, including Sweden, Italy, Argentina, and various Canadian provinces. However, his portrayal conveniently overlooks the troubling ideologies associated with some of these figures and their parties, such as neo-Nazi origins, fascist nostalgia, and discriminatory rhetoric. Jones uses these examples to suggest that his side is winning and that the globalists are losing, reinforcing his own narrative of being a champion of the people.
In this installment, Dan and Jordan discuss a video Alex put out trying to do damage control about the recent news about his bankruptcy. Somehow, the episode is more than an hour longer than the actual video Alex made.
