I like how he still tries to sell his merchandise until the very last moment.
He has for some time been telling his listeners to buy supplements from a new company set up in his father's name that is a thin cutout for the one ostensibly run by himself. It seems likely a good lawyer could pierce that corporate veil and go after the new company, but I don't know if that has happened.
He's spent the whole time since losing the lawsuit illegally shifting assets to his parents and they bankruptcy courts haven't seemed to be able to stop that.

Have you missed the bit where Jones's lawyer sent a full copy of his phone to the plaintiff's legal team. Alex Jones says, no lies, a lot of things but the evidence that he lies is there https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/aug/03/alex-jones-s...
And, those text messages revealed nothing of substance, they had nothing to charge with him with. They didn't even attempt to charge him. They didn't even go after the supposed perjury charge because it was weak. If it wasn't weak, they would certainly go after him for it.
Nobody has a perfect memory of all text messages they have sent over the last couple of years. If you think you have a perfect memory of all text messages you have sent over the last couple of years, you don't understand your own memory. Let alone a guy who runs a business with 20+ employees reading a deluge of news articles and whitepapers from when he gets up to when he goes to sleep.

> The core idea of satire, which is often missed in supposedly satirical works is that you should not only make fun of the thing you don't believe, but you should also explain what you do believe under the cover of pretending to dismiss it. I often suggest that satire is a dangerous double edged sword and not a good primary vehicle for positive change. Part of your audience will understand it's satire, but a signific…
> I believe we ask and expect too much of satire Yes, if you expect anything from satire you expect too much. Let it be art, not propaganda. Allow yourself to find poor execution of agreeable messages distasteful. Allow yourself to enjoy good execution of messages you disagree with.
My friend I have some news for you.
Edit: almost ended it there but remembered what website I’m on.

The next 4 years are going to be an absolute farce in the US.
You don’t think a fox news host is a great SecDef? Or a non-practicing briefly disbarred AG?

Now if we want to get into dirty details, no bureaucrat is ever elected. You elect the representatives, and they nominate in turn whoever bureaucrats they feel comfy to work with. Or is this in the UK different?
The EU is governed by the European Commission, which is not elected. Say what you will about reactionary British conservatives, the fact remains that the EU is not a particularly democratic organisation.

Seems like the article is really gleeful. Somewhat ironic since The Onion could be brought down in the same way by defamation lawsuits.
> Seems like the article is really gleeful. Good! It should be. Alex Jones is a ghoul making money from dead school shooting victims. Anything that embarrasses him is entitled to as much glee as it wants.
I really can’t imagine a better steward. Truly amazing. I doubt there’s any way to undo all the damage that has been done, but at least we’ll get some cathartic laughs out of it all.
