Alex Jones - Two Stops Past Barking?

Its all about appealing to the dumb as fuck with his populism style rhetoric so he can sell them products that fit into that narrative. If there was a very plausible conspiracy, Alex Jones creates conspiracies. He's a multi-millionaire off the back of conspiracies, anything denting this bullshit would cost him money, more money than they will fine him I expect.

I'm not going to link to his store, but if you want to see what he sells to his deluded followers, take a look. I see the iodine nasal spray while unavailable, is still listed. How did that become a thing?

If Gwyneth Paltrow can get away with it…
 
Paltrow is famous and can use that to sell any old shit.
Would be a pretty weird move for me to rock up to some high street selling candles that smell like my cock. How would anyone check authenticity?
 
Imagine losing your child in such horrific circumstances and then having this army of evil fuckspud loons calling you a liar.

There are few options available for interrupting the spread of conspiracy theories. Attempts to refute them can backfire and strengthen individuals’ faith in false information. Logic or fact-based arguments don’t work against conspiracy thinking, either, because even established facts are often read by believers as confirmation that someone is trying to hide the truth. More traditional counterextremism strategies are even less suited to addressing the harms caused by viral conspiracy theories. Law enforcement approaches align best with organized groups that can be monitored or infiltrated, not with conspiracy theories that spread virally online.

:thumbs: lets just hope the fines match the crimes.
I suppose the tactical advantage of this - refusing to submit documents, and being found guilty by default, which I think is perfectly reasonable - is that he can spin it to his supporters as some kind of act of judicial oppression, with him, as ever, the victim.

It's interesting how quickly these right wing hard nuts reach for the victim position the minute their "right" to spout ludicrous nonsense as fact is challenged.
 
So now he's lost all his court cases, he's fucked, right? I mean the payment processors who facilitate Jones' income are now at risk of legal liability, so they'll pull out and he won't be able to flog his crap any more, right?

Maybe I'm just hoping that more will come out of this other than massive fines. If he's got wealth squirrelled away elsewhere and he can still rake in cash by ripping off the gullible, then it seems like he could weather that.

Depends how the tin rattling goes. Not looking too shabby to be honest but quite a way off the target of $2M.

They don't appear to mention on that web page how well their campaign against this "larger criminal operation to bully the American people and set a standard worldwide that anyone who stands up for Freedom will be destroyed" is going so far. I wonder why not? :D
