Thread: Alex Jones, the Infowars conspiracy guru, is just playing a part

While I have been very disappointed that none of us seem to be able to get through to Alex Jones over the last year after a certain producer left his staff, I am thankful for his work and the many times he had me on his show before Feb of 2016.

The last time I was on the air with him was about Justice Scalia's untimely and suspicious death.

While I certainly do not agree with everything he has said and Im sure he does not agree with everything all of his guests have said, Alex Jones has done a lot of very important work.

Many of his fans at InfoWars are also ALIPAC supporters and many of the stories Alex Jones and his staff at InfoWars have been willing to break are true and materials that the socialist elites in the media and DC do not want the public hearing about.

You can say what you want about his style or personality and methods, but Jones has done things most other people would not dare to do or say out of fear of the same people we have to fight here at ALIPAC.

And the show Alex Jones has created with his videos and great contributors like Paul Watson are absolutely groundbreaking and revolutionary on the web.

Now, Google and Facebook are both actively suppressing Infowars and Alex Jones article and videos.

It is a terrifying prospect for anyone to have to go through a divorce. Much worse when there are children you both love involved. But to have to go through all that with the evil Soros demons and minions that work for PFAW, RightWingWatch, Media Matters, ADL, SPLC, and all the other socialist goon squads breathing down your neck is almost the worst things can be short of facing drug cartel murder squads.

Alex Jones really needs to fix his lack of accessibility to supporters and other groups that have contributed his show like ALIPAC and while Im sure he loves and wants to stay with his children, he needs to tell his lawyer to knock off these kinds of comments.

It's a very unusual case. There are juries in custody battles, it's rare, but does happen, when one of the parents wants to push it that far. There was a nasty one back home in my home town several years ago. Awful. Shameful the things that were said and talked about.

Custody by jury – ONLY in Texas


By Michelle O'Neil on August 17, 2015Posted in Children and Parenting, Trial and jury


Many things make Texas unique. But one thing stands out for family law attorneys and litigants – the right to have a jury decide custody of your children. Texas is the ONLY state in the US to allow custody jury trials. Eleven states allow juries in for some aspect of divorce litigation (Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin), mostly on the grounds or entitlement for divorce only. See Case Law Development: Jury Trial in Divorce Actions.

That being said, very few parents ask for a jury trial, making them a very rare occurrence in Texas. Reasons for this may be the stress of laying your life – both good decisions and not-so-good ones – out for 12 peers to judge; or, the added legal cost of a jury trial; or the unpredictability of the outcome. Most custody cases in Texas settle by agreement because most parents would rather participate in making decisions about their children rather than allow strangers to make those decisions for you. Also, jury trials in custody cases are rare because temporary orders are generally entered at the beginning of a case and neither judges nor juries are likely to do something against the temporary orders.

The right to a jury trial regarding children is limited to issues of joint or sole conservatorship, which parent has the primary to establish the child’s residence, and whether there will be any restriction on the child’s residence. All other issues, such as possession periods with each parent, decision-making rights and duties, and child support, are decided by the Judge.

The first stage of a custody jury trial is jury selection – called voir dire. The pronunciation of this word is subject to much debate. The rest of the country and world uses a French pronunciation – such as in this video. But we Texans have to put our own spin on it and say it like “vorr dire” (rhymes with “tire”). See survey of pronunciations here. This is where the lawyers get to ask the panel members questions about their attitudes and opinions as it relates to issues in the case to see if they will be good for the particular case. It is more like “de-selection” than selection of a jury because each side gets a certain number of strikes and the panel members who remain after the strikes become the jurors.

Next comes opening statement, where each side gets to tell the jury in a persuasive manner what they believe the evidence will show.

The evidentiary portion of the trial will take the longest. This is where the meat of the case is presented – witnesses and documentary evidence – to prove each side’s allegations.

When the evidence closes, the lawyers and the Judge will work together to formulate the jury charge, a written document that gives the jurors instructions and questions pertaining to the case.

When the charge is put together, then it is read to the jurors and the closing arguments are given.

Closing arguments are the lawyer’s last time to address the jurors. The purpose of closing argument is to draw the jurors’ attention to particular pieces of evidence as it relates to the instructions and questions the jurors will be tasked with answering.

When closing arguments are finished, the jurors go to the jury room with the evidence and jury charge to make a decision. In custody cases, like civil cases generally, it is not necessary to have unanimity. A vote of 10 out of 12 jurors is sufficient to reach a verdict, as long as the same 10 agree on everything.

It sounds like a wonderful thing to put your children through doesn't it?

I have seen a few divorces, and I don't think guerilla warfare could be worse. People who profess to care for their children and want what's best are willing to destroy another parent just to get their way.

Alex Jones sued by Chobani after linking yogurt giant to rapist refugees

Embattled right-wing media personality Alex Jones was sued for defamation Monday by Chobani, the country’s largest yogurt company, after claiming its willingness to employ refugees at its Idaho plant brought crime and disease to the local community.

Chobani’s attorneys filed suit in Idaho District Court less than two weeks after the InfoWars publisher circulated a report, “Idaho Yogurt Maker Caught Importing Migrant Rapists,” containing allegations described by the company in Monday’s complaint as “extreme, outrageous” and maliciously intended.

Mr. Jones “published to thousands of subscribers and viewers on Twitter, YouTube and other platforms widely available to the public, false statements, including the false accusations that Chobani was ‘caught importing migrant rapists’ and that Chobani’s plant has brought ‘crime and tuberculosis’ to the Twin Falls community,” according to the lawsuit.

“Defendants’ defamatory statements were knowingly false or made with reckless disregard for the truth or falsity of the statements at the time the statements were made,” they added.

The April 11 report vaguely implicated Chobani owner Hamdi Ulukaya in a sexual assault case involving migrant children in Twin Falls, home of a Chobani plant branded as the world’s largest. According to the lawsuit, however, the report failed to contain any actual supporting evidence.

“Nowhere in the video do the Defendants state that the Plaintiff was ‘caught importing migrant rapists.’ Defendants promoted the video with the defamatory headline ‘Idaho Yogurt Maker Caught Importing Migrant Rapists’ despite knowing that the statement was false or while clearly doubting the truth of the statement,” Chobani’s attorneys wrote.

The video prompted calls for a boycott of Chobani products, after it was published by Mr. Jones on his widely watched YouTube channel and InfoWars website, according to the company. Chobani is now seeking at least $10,000 in punitive damages.

Mr. Jones, 43, defended the report in a video statement Monday, insisting: “I’m not saying [Ulukaya] consciously brought in people he thought were going to rape, but people he brought in and force-fed on America have now been implicated, indicted and have plead guilty to that.”

The lawsuit brought against Mr. Jones and his companies this week hardly marks the only litigation he’s faced as of late. Last month, he acknowledged removing several reports involving the so-called “Pizzagate” conspiracy from his InfoWars website and YouTube channel in the face of legal threats. Tuesday, meanwhile, marked the start of the second week in a widely watched custody battle between Mr. Jones and his former wife involving the couple’s three children. Mr. Jones‘ attorney in that case notably described his client as a “performing artist” last week, prompting calls about his professional reputation.

Millions of listeners tune-in to Mr. Jones‘ regular internet and radio broadcasts, according to Monday’s lawsuit.

President Trump previously appeared on the show in 2015, telling Mr. Jones: “Your reputation is amazing.”
