Alex Jones is in legal trouble yet again

[Perfectly_shaped_buttocks]

On Thursday, New York Attorney General Letitia James announced that she was threatening legal action against far-right conspiracy theory broadcaster Alex Jones if he continues to claim to viewers that his line of toothpaste, creams, and dietary supplements can prevent or cure coronavirus:

Jones has used his InfoWars platform to promote theories such as that the government is controlling people’s minds with chemicals in tap water, the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre was faked with child actors, and that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are literally demons from hell.

His business model is built on top of selling a line of questionable dietary supplements, that he often markets as protecting people from the conspiracies he propounds.

Jones is already facing legal troubles, having been arrested just days before for driving while intoxicated.

Remember Alex Jones? He is the guy that runs InfoWars, the conspiracy-smothered, fact-free dreck-machine that people like Donald Trump and the Republican Party rely on to confuse and obfuscate reality for them. Unlike Fox News’ Tucker Carlson—who spews very similar BS—Jones comes in a repellent package that embodies the hedonism, corruption, and narcissism of the conservative movement in our country.

On Wednesday, Jones and his InfoWars sociopaths decided to try and one-up the Republican Party’s anti-immigrant publicity stunts by staging one of their own. According to the Daily Dot both Jones and Drew Hernandez—a self-described investigative reporter who believes Black Lives Matter is a “Marxist terrorist organization”—released video of themselves stopping child trafficking! Whoa, that’s big news!

Except it’s the opposite of that.

What the two men and their film crews did was in essence terrorize three mothers and their children, along with a man driving them from the Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley in the city of McAllen, Texas, to the Human Respite Center, also in McAllen, Texas.

In video that was posted by Hernandez and subsequently taken down on many sites, Jones can be seen in the middle of the afternoon on a McAllen street, standing and screaming at the occupants of a white minivan. Jones calls for the police while Hernandez points out that the children aren’t wearing seat belts and don’t have car seats. “No car seats! What organization is this? I want to know who the hell this is!” he demands.

The Daily Dot reports that later in the video, in classic charlatan nonsensical histrionics, Jones yells, “If I drove around with three of my kids in the back of the car, I’d get arrested!”

That’s not the law in Texas, to be clear. Also, Alex Jones not being allowed to drive with children might be more related to the fact that he’s had questionable judgement when driving.

Sister Norma Pimentel, executive director of the Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande, released a statement to reporters saying the video misrepresented what was happening. These children were not being “smuggled” anywhere; they were being driven from one place to another to receive some help from an organization that works to ameliorate poverty conditions for families. Pimentel did, however, say that the children should have been wearing seatbelts, but “unfortunately, this was not the case.”

Jones has long wrestled with clear personal issues. He is a bad person who has frequently preyed upon families in order to make his money. In recent years he has lost lawsuits filed by parents of children murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School for promoting the truly horrific conspiracy theory that the whole thing was made up and the parents were “crisis actors” pretending for years and years to have lost their children. To be Alex Jones is to be lost in the heart of darkness. Donald Trump’s mediocre mind and his popularity among the conservative movement created fertile ground for Jones and others to exploit the more openly white supremacist members of the right wing.

The really humorous thing about Alex Jones is that more people on the Left
pay attention to his antics than people on the Right; he's a real niche market...

Nobody listened to that harmless nut.

He's a kook and his own worst enemy. If he didn't exist, the Left would have to invent him.

 

[Champakian]

I think they have promoted him to what little fame he enjoys.

So, yes, he is their creation on more than one level.

It's like racism: They wouldn't know what to do without it.

 

[Champakian]

They see it in everything.

The only reason a person would disagree with them...

 

[phrodeau]

So no cancel culture where he’s concerned? That figures.

Utter nonsense, Tonto. Renard Ruse and the BoBoGook get their talking points from Alex Jones on a near daily basis.

 

[Philthy_Phil]

The deplorable defenders have deflector shields up...lol

Even "not a republican" boy is in here deflecting.

 

[PaxNurgle]

While I agree, it is worth pointing out here that you yourself directly quoted one of his Infowars posts on another thread:

BUD SPENCER WROTE: "Absolute proof that the Covid 19 pandemic and response had been planned years in advance.

Shocking SPARS document details a "future global pandemic" that was to take place in 2025. Clearly this was initiated sooner due to events in 2019 and early 2020.

Even minute details are nearly identical between the SPARS scenario in the report and what was implemented during Covid. This IS the smoking gun proof!

So in other words, it really doesnt serve ANY useful purpose if you, or anyone else, reposts Alex Jones bullshit on the forums.

By that logic, Howard Stern is a billionaire because of people like you.

What you actually just did, is demonstrate what a phony POS Pud Spanker is.

But then we already knew that.......

Alex Jones would be more entertaining if he wasn't such a dick about everything.

 

[jomar]

LOL, the left doesn’t listen to him. He’s a product of, by and for the right wing whackadoodles.

He’s a friend of Joe Rogan which, even though Joe’s podcasts are entertaining, especially when it takes a left turn after they smoke weed on air, makes me seriously question his judgement.

Rogan is kind of a dumbass with most shit and at one time questioned the moon landing. It's not surprising they are friends. What's surprising is how good Rogans podcast is. He's dumb but he seems to know he's dumb and lets smart guests lead the conversation.

Fair point. The ones I’ve heard he asks decent questions so maybe he prepares some but maybe your point is why he brings out the Mike Tyson weed on some interviews.

He does a good job of letting his guests take the lead but he's shitty at coming up with his own positions. His love affair with Jordan Peterson is also a miss. And now with this Spotify deal, he's making money but losing listeners. So far, Spotify has scrubbed over 40 of his pods from its platform.

We (who have racism happen to us) know exactly how we'd do without it.

The problem is, you fucks need it. Because all your shit, from past to present, doesn't exist without it.

The Left craves racism. It's the only thing that gives it the slightest legitimacy to its power-mad manipulations anymore. There is power in victimhood in America, and the Left - up to and including Oprah - is trying to claim the mantle.

But there's a problem: The supply of racism has never been lower, even as the demand is soaring. So entrepreneurs of the Left go into the manufacturing biz....it's pure Econ 101.

Sounds like an InfoWars talking point.
