LOL, holy shit, I just hit up Google to see how those cases are going, and guess what motion was filed earlier today.

The idiot fucking openly admitted to having evidence destroyed after being told to preserve it.

Quote

 Lawyers for the families of two Sandy Hook shooting victims are accusing the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and his Infowars media business of intentionally destroying evidence relevant to the defamation cases against him, according to a motion filed on Friday in a Texas court.

Mr. Jones is being sued by the families of nine Sandy Hook victims for spreading false claims that the 2012 shooting at the elementary school in Newtown, Conn., that killed 20 first graders and six adults was a government-backed hoax, and that the families of the dead were actors.

Mr. Jones said on his broadcast last week that he had told his staff to delete material after CNN cited Infowars content that violated Twitter’s policies, according to the motion filed on Friday.

At least some of the deleted content was considered evidence in the Sandy Hook cases, and Mr. Jones had been informed in writing in April that he was obligated by law to preserve all relevant material, according to the court filing in District Court in Travis County in Austin.

“As pressure mounted from pending defamation lawsuits and growing public indignation, Mr. Jones chose to destroy evidence of his actual malice and defamatory conduct,” the motion filed on Friday said. “Infowars deleted critical evidence at the precise moment plaintiff and his experts were attempting to marshal that evidence.”

The suit said that it was not known how much content had been deleted, but that it included written social media materials and videos. The motion was filed on behalf of Neil Heslin, father of Jesse Lewis, a 6-year-old killed at Sandy Hook, by Mark Bankston, Kyle Farrar and William Ogden of Farrar & Ball in Houston.

Over the five years since the shooting, families of the Sandy Hook victims have been stalked, threatened and subjected to online abuse by Mr. Jones’s followers, after he spread false claims about the mass shooting, calling it “synthetic, completely fake with actors, in my view, manufactured,” according to court documents.

Quote

Friday’s motion is the latest legal salvo in three separate defamation lawsuits filed by Sandy Hook families, which seek tens of millions of dollars in damages and pose an existential threat to Mr. Jones’s business. Should the court find that Mr. Jones and Infowars willfully destroyed evidence, he, and possibly his lawyer, could be assessed thousands of dollars in fines and be subject to punitive action. Most important, the material that was destroyed could be presumed by the court as supporting Mr. Heslin’s claims against Mr. Jones, bolstering his case.

Besides the two cases in Texas, the families of seven more Sandy Hook victims and an emergency medical worker subjected to harassment filed a separate defamation suit against Mr. Jones and his associates in May in Connecticut. The families in the larger case are represented by Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder, a Bridgeport, Conn., firm that also represents Sandy Hook families in a lawsuit against Remington, the maker of the AR-15-style weapon used in the shooting.

The first court appearance in the Sandy Hook lawsuits was in Texas this month, when the court heard arguments in Mr. Jones’s motion to dismiss the defamation case brought by Leonard Pozner and Veronique De La Rosa, the parents of Noah Pozner, a 6-year-old killed at Sandy Hook. A decision is expected early next month. A hearing is scheduled for Aug. 30 in Mr. Jones’s motion to dismiss the second Texas case, brought by Mr. Heslin.

The nutjobs feel Alex is being denied his free speech rights and this liberal SJW politically correct culture is a threat to our constitutional rights.  But all I see are old fashioned defamation lawsuits.  He wants to be able to spread hateful lies about innocent families of slain children while wrapping himself in the cloak of free speech.  And profit from it.

Because it is entertainment.  And then his audience acts on his lies and threatens these innocent families and Alex says he was just fun'n and any reasonable person knows that.  Then we see those reasonable people holding their No Gestapo in Bastropo signs while our reasonable GOP governor sends Texas NG to help provide security for them.. And our reasonable POTUS appears on his show saying how great he is.

More lawsuits, please.

In other words Trump, considering his tweets this morning.

People whose children were massacred haven’t suffered enough, imo.

Part of closure is to have their home address and place of employment published so insane goons from the internet can harass them, threaten physical harm and call them globalist agents for the New World Order.  It's all about healing and free speech.

You'd think a conspiracy loon shitbag asshole like him would have learned the Big Lesson of his craft: It's the cover-up that gets you in the end. He was in pretty deep shit already, but destroying that evidence reminds me of those idiots who eat joints at traffic stops, thus upgrading misdemeanors into felonies. 

 

He done.

Yep, jumps from civil/lawsuit problems to criminal.

Alex probably knows his days are numbered. Hell I guess we all know that but his finish is coming a lot sooner. Oh well.

Actually, he was in the perfect position to keep cruising along, raking in millions.  Conspiracy fans hit the mainstream, and eventually a bunch of those Qanon people are going to drift away and look for something else, and Jones could have been their landing spot.

Instead he decided Sandy Hook was the hill to die on, and he had evidence destroyed.

Alex ate a shit sandwich the day Trump won.  Basically ruined every narrative he ever crafted.

All the conspiracy theorists, militia groups, and sovereign citizens were in a total paradox when Trump won.

The were like, “we’re radically anti-government/authority but our guy just became the government so what the fuck do we do now!?”

It was a serious moral dilemma.

So how's he doing.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/infowars-said-youtube-ban-would-make-it-stronger-actually-its-been-crushed

Quote

Infowars currently hosts its videos on Real.Video, a niche video hosting site that promises that content on the platform is “protected under free speech” and prominently features other channels promoting militias or dubious nutrition ideas. Infowars videos on Real.Video regularly receive only a few hundred or thousand views. 

By comparison, Infowars posts on YouTube regularly received at least five figures in terms of viewership. Infowars videos on YouTube earned more than 500,000 views a day on average, according to social-media analytics site SocialBlade, while Infowars’ main YouTube channel received more than 17 million views in the 30 days before its ban. 

While Jones still has other ways to reach his viewers, including his website and his radio show, the dismal viewership figures suggest that the YouTube ban has seriously cut into his reach. Without access to his YouTube audience, Jones will find it harder both to spread his false claims, like his allegation that parents whose children were killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting are crisis actors, and to sell the nutritional supplements that help fund his conspiracy empire.

There’s a large audience of people who hear this and think “Oh shit, that makes sense and I totally believe Swift Boat John is splitting hurricanes with his doomsday weather ray.”

Humans are such an overrated species.

 There's also a large audience who think men menstruate so "swift boat john" might be having one and it's sexist.

File this in the "This Should Shock No One" category

Alex Jones needed you to know how to navigate around his website.  In the course of the instruction, he accidentally showed his open tabs, one of which was to trans porn.  And you wonder why he spends so much time worrying about the rights of the gays and the trans people.  Mystery solved!

Remember, for the trumpkins like Alex, every accusation is always a confession.
