Speech is free but you have to pay for lies
Finally, at long painful last, the Alex Jones, the Big Wheel of some of the most poisonous conspiracy theories every made up on the web, is being brought to justice.
Alex Jones spread the theory that the Sandy Hook school shootings were a hoax. That in fact it hadn't really occurred. Scores of children murdered. Their families devastated by the senseless cruelty of the original massace. And then... Alex Jones spins the story, "asks the questions" about whether actually anything every happened. Did these families lose their child ? Are these real parents and not actors ?
The families of the Sandy Hook massacre have sued Alex Jones demation and intend to sue him into perpetual penury. IMV that would be the lightest reasonable outcome for such a dangerous sociopath.

InfoWars host Alex Jones has had a tense courtroom interaction with the parents of a six-year-old who was killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in the US, amid an ongoing defamation trial against him.
The parents described being put through a "living hell" of death threats, harassment and trauma since Mr Jones used his media platforms to push claims that the shooting was all a hoax.
Let's recap what was said in the court in Austin, Texas, and where things are at with the case.
Jones is on trial for spreading lies claiming that the killing of 20 children and six staff at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut in December 2012 did not take place.
He has since acknowledged the shooting did occur.
In October 2021, a Texas judge found Jones liable for damages in three defamation lawsuits brought by the parents of two children killed in the massacre.

I had little job to do yesterday that allowed me to sit and watch Bankston put red poker on Jones's Producer Daria Kapova in a morning session earlier in the week.
The comment trail is conclusive on Kapova's testimony.
one quick eg;
'Apparently being held accountable for your actions isn't comfortable when your behavior is despicable.
And in the vien of the old addage; It's always darkest before it goes pitch Black...
Bankston's serve up of Jones's own texts in the dock.... the look of perjury on on Jones's face.
How's that for a massage on a vey sweaty perineum.

I wonder if Alex Jones will sue his lawyers for incompetence ?
Somehow, somehow
his lawyers accidentally forwarded a phone full of text messages from Alex Jones phone relating to the Sand Hooks massacre to the opposing counsel. The problem with this was that Alex had sworn on oath that he had never made any such messages.

What was the impact of the Sandy Hook hoax conspiracy that was promoted across social media channels ?
And what is the ongoing consequence of unfettered conspiracy theories being promoted across our society

Elizabeth Williamson’s book on the 2012 elementary school shooting is a near-unbearable, necessary indictment of Facebook, YouTube and the conspiracy theories they spread

Even in a country now completely inured to the horrors of mass shootings, the massacre at Sandy Hook remains lodged in the minds of everyone old enough to remember it. Ten years ago, 20-year-old Adam Lanza fired 154 rounds from an AR-15-style rifle in less than five minutes. Twenty extremely young children and six adults were killed.
It was the worst elementary school shooting in American history.
Elizabeth Williamson’s new book is about that “American Tragedy”, but more importantly it is about “the Battle for Truth” that followed. In excruciating detail, Williamson describes the unimaginable double tragedy every Sandy Hook parent has had to endure: the murder of their child, followed by years and years of an army of online monsters accusing them of inventing this unimaginable horror.
Alex Jones of Infowars is the best-known villain of this ghastly narrative. His Facebook pages and YouTube channels convinced millions of fools the massacre was either some kind of government plot to encourage a push for gun control or, even more obscenely, that it was all carried out by actors and no one was killed at all.
While a single deranged shooter was responsible for the original tragedy, Williamson makes clear she believes Facebook and Google (the owner of YouTube) deserve most of the blame for the subsequent horror the relatives of victims have endured.
As Congressman Ro Khanna reported in his new book, Dignity in a Digital Age, an internal Facebook document estimated that “64% of all extremist group joins are due to our recommendations”.
Those recommendations are the result of the infernal algorithms which are at the heart of the business models of Facebook and YouTube and are probably more responsible for the breakdown in civil society in the US and the world than anything else invented.

???? Nord Stream sabotage exposed?
The USS Kearsarge's Sikorsky MH-60 performed secret tasks at the area of Nord Stream explosion.
On September 2, there were interesting maneuvers performed by an American helicopter with the call sign FFAB123 assigned to the USS Kearsarge air wing.
According to the website ads-b.nl this call sign was used by 6 aircrafts, three of them were Sikorsky MH-60.
By superimposing the FFAB123 route on the map of yesterday's accident, we get a rather interesting result — the helicopter either flew along the Nord Stream-2, or even between the points where the accident occurred.
Meanwhile, screenshots of other American flights appeared on Twitter — the next screenshot was taken on September 13.
And finally, pay attention to the article in Sea Power, where the Americans brag about experiments in the field of underwater drones, which they put on exercises BALTOPS 22 — just in the area of the island of Bronholm.

One way or the other, it is clear the US pushed for the Ukraine issue and at no time ever tried to go for peace.the sabotage closes any idea of recovery between Russia and Europe.
This spells the end of Europe economy.gone and dusted and ensure Poland..the coming power there..will be hooked to us energy delivery.and so at best a compliant mid tier force.
It also ensures Putin position is reinforced as there is no gain in removing him internally.
Putin should have striked earlier..but he could not do it under Trump government.it is clear that in the US, the POTUS has no control whatsoever on the military/deep state complex.
China should really be switching to full support of Putin or they will be screwed as wellsadly, long gone is the time western civilization values could be seen as in line with the US and these are now orphans.
At least,no one was directly killed by the sabotages and the EU inc its population had plenty of time and opportunities to act properly before so mostly self inflicted pain and death.

Is the USA (under Biden) willing to go to WW3 to stop the USD from not been the defacto dollar?
Most commodities have to go through a USD pairing,

I sadly see WWIII as an answer to potentially the loss of US dominance and definitively the current economic woes.
If people are willing to follow curfews travel restrictions and mandated home arrest/full tracking for a bad flu, imagine the possibility with a declared war....
New currency, capital control, asset seizure, mandated gov bonds

NEW - Blinken on Nord Stream sabotage: "A tremendous opportunity to once and for all remove the dependence on Russian energy... offers tremendous strategic opportunity for the years to come."
Condi Rice also said as much a number of years ago. The yanks took out the pipelines, blind Freddy can see that.
