Alex Jones: ‘I’m DONE saying I’m sorry’ over false Sandy Hook hoax claims
The Hill ^ | 09/22/22 8:49 PM ET | BY THEHILL.COM

Far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on Thursday told a jury he’s “done” apologizing for pushing the conspiracy theory that the 2012 mass shooting that killed 20 children and six teachers at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School was a hoax.

“Is this a struggle session? Are we in China? I’ve already said I’m sorry hundreds of times and I’m done saying I’m sorry,” Jones told a court in his Connecticut defamation trial.

Plaintiff attorney Christopher Mattei had asked Jones to “show a little respect” to the bereaved families present in the courtroom after the Infowars owner had ranted about liberals.

Mattei at one point noted that the victims’ families are “real people.”

“Just like all the Iraqis you liberals killed and love. Just, you’re unbelievable. You switch on emotions, on-and-off when you want. You’re just ambulance chasing,” Jones parried.

In his false claims that the Sandy Hook tragedy was a hoax, Jones had pushed the narrative that the victims’ parents were “crisis actors.”

Jones has since acknowledged the massacre, but is now embroiled in a number of legal battles over his theories as the families of the Sandy Hook victims sue him for defamation and emotional distress.

He was found liable by default in the defamation case at hand after failing to comply with court orders, and the Connecticut jury is now merely deciding how much Jones and his business need to pay up in damages.

“We later found that according to the official version there were no wounded children at Sandy Hook.

Compare that with other mass shootings and you will get the idea....something smelled very weird in Connecticut that day.”

There were a lot of similar local first hand accounts like this all over the net after it happened. And even local whistle blowers claiming it never happened.

He never believed Sandy Hook was a hoax. It was all just an act to make money.

That’s interesting. Too bad the MSM is focusing on the Sandy Hook event as the issue, instead of the issue-issue, i.e., him being a no-show.

“Then I watched what the entire medical industry just did.”

Exactly. Instead of “a whole city was involved”, a whole world was involved.

The CT mass media has made it very clear that any whistle-blowers will be demonized, canceled and destroyed.

That is how you keep a cover-up in place.

Yep. But with Google and Bing they never really needed subpoenas. These were already handing all this data to the government in real time.

“Guess they wanted the appearance of being legit..”

And that is an excellent deduction. It helps deniability that it was already happening.

“Any three letter agency monitoring this site would only be satisfied at its decline into Elk’s Club politics irrelevancy.”

Your comment on the site and its participants is generally valid, but intelligence agencies pride themselves on the total control of the information war-space. They don’t want to have to explain to their bosses why they “missed something”—they have been burned too often by obscure web sites creating memes that passed from person to person and eventually went viral.

The Internet remains a dangerous threat to the elites—and they have the resources to waste keeping track of obscure web sites.

Just like always, the MSM has been dishonest about the whole thing all the way through. They even tried to claim the judge put a gag order on Jones so they could make him look like he was violating order for making statements in public. “He is in contempt!” was the narrative. Not at all true and outright lie because they twisted the true legal details and true orders.

Hahahahahaa.

So you think this idiot lunatic jones will be proven right that sandy hook massacre didn’t really happen? That it was all made up for some sinister purpose?

Jones is a mentally unstable nut. Probably not a good idea to support this dirtbag in anything he says or does. One day he will be justifiably relegated to the garbage bin he so richly deserves. After he has become a multi millionaire on your dime of course.

Yeah that’s why an actual jury hearing actual evidence decided jones was a liar and a fraud.

Well said... Content is what counts. The diversity of interests here is a gold mine of information. The FR is an excellent source of information chased and found by it’s users. The members here are on top of current events and conservative issues faster than any other conservative forum on the net. And it spreads from here out to all the others. Many users are the original authors from the original source and post here simultaneously as they post in their own platforms. robowombat is not giving it the true credit it deserves.

Look at post # 71 for a fine example of what is becoming the typical dismal of FR discourse.

The mass media has (in the words of Diana Pasulka) “colonized your mind”.

There is an amazing world out there—after you break free of the chains that bind you.

Hint: The mass media lies about everything.

Everything.

All the time.

But step back and look at the whole picture here. Opposing arguments like that reply actually help the community as an organization in whole. When we all start agreeing about everything is when we will indeed attract even more attention as a real threat they need to deal with. The last thing they want is complete organized agreement against their narrative.

But even as it is the FR is a real threat for two reasons. It really is still the number one conservative forum on the net. And because it is privately owned it is much harder to just cancel in whole if they like. They would have to pull out all the stops to do so and it would be extremely obvious.

In fact I would not doubt that before they did this they would approach the domain owners and offer them a subsidy to keep it up and help them gather data. It would be worth more to them up and going as a data mine than it would be if shut down.

But in the meantime they can go after members one at a time. And it will not be very long before we start hearing these accounts here personally.

Ignorant abuse and smirky loutishness are indicators of intelligent dialog. The Ukraine posts are classic examples of this. A cadre of loud mouthed fools and paid trolls dominate the posts making intelligent dialog impossible.

Making intelligent dialog impossible is with just about every topic here... Just look at the posts about history or archaeology. It is impossible to have any intelligent dialog because of the purposeful distraction and disruption from the class clowns hell bent on derailing the thread and any productive discussion.

That along with Anti-”any and all science” activism is my suspicion. There is a dedicated list who you can bet on and predict will come jam the signal right on cue just as soon as they detect it.
