Alex Jones’s Legal Team Is Said to Have Sent Child Porn in Sandy Hook Hoax Case

NY Times explains the FBI cleared Jones. He has plenty of enemies, it's trivial to email kiddy porn anonymously hoping the authorities find it. Trivial to hide attachments from view too.

Mr. Jones learned about the accusation earlier as part of the discovery process. On his show on Friday he forcefully denied any involvement in the material in question being sent and accused Chris Mattei, one of the lawyers representing the Sandy Hook families, of trying to frame him.

“You’re trying to set me up with child porn,” Mr. Jones said. “One million dollars to put your head on a pike.”

Norman Pattis, a lawyer for Mr. Jones, said that the allegation had already been investigated by the F.B.I. and that Mr. Jones had been cleared of any wrongdoing.

“For two weeks the F.B.I. conducted an inquiry and I learned on Wednesday of this week that that inquiry concluded that no one here has any guilty knowledge of those emails, indeed there is no reason to suspect anybody even knew they were here,” Mr. Pattis said on an Infowars broadcast on Saturday.

“The attempt to use this as a litigation club is the worst form of special pleading and the plaintiffs’ lawyers know it,” Mr. Pattis added.

Calls to the F.B.I. office in New Haven on Monday were not immediately returned.

The bigger issue is Jones promoting his "false flag" conspiracy theory about Sandy Hook. He is obviously mentally ill, but he is still responsible for defamation.

There is Sandy Hook movie (forget title). If you check the board there are some Imdb posts from abusive Jones supporters.

There is a UK series on conspiracy nuts from 2001 by Jon Ronson. Most episodes on youtube, Jones is in four including the Satanic one.

He's worth $40m last I checked, so I doubt he's mentally ill as much as a clever businessman who's playing a character that gullible people eat up. It's blatantly obvious he's acting most of the time, even if he believes the conspiracy stuff to some degree.

I saw an interview with his ex-wife a while back and she indicated that his anti-government paranoia is quite real. I'm sure he plays things up as the character "Alex Jones," but it does seem like on a fundamental level he believes the gospel he's preaching. Perhaps not every detail, but the general thrust.

It's paranoia only when it's imaginary.

Trump was spied. When that happened during the Watergate, it became the biggest scandal in US political history. But at least, it was a scandal. This time, it has been downplayed by mainstream media. And this means it's much much worse.

And Trump has been hunted down by deep state (Mueller case). That's quite a common political tactic in Latin-American countries (Lula in Brazil has been the last victim I can remember), but it was unprecedented in North-America until now. US is going full Hispanic.

I think you can certainly be paranoid about real threats.

What's that old saying? "Just because you're doesn't mean they aren't out to get you."

Watergate 2.0 being silenced and downplayed by mainstream media is not a threat. It has already happened.

US Deep state taking a political side and going full witch-hunt against the president himself is not a threat. It has already happened.

Those things were common in Latin-American countries, but unprecedented in US. That's not a threat, not anymore. That time passed. Now, it's a fact.

The problem appears when modern left, that expected diversity would make Western countries some kind of bucolic teletubby paradise where everybody would be friendly and happy and there would be no hate... see how those very same Western countries are just shifting to corrupt and third-world standards.

Then they enter in self-denial. It can't be happening! It must be paranoia! It has to be paranoia!!!

Sadly, it's not only happening. It has already happened.

The media downplayed the bugging at Watergate at the time too. Everybody did it, apparently.

The scandal of Watergate was the subsequent abuse of power in order to cover it up. The reason for which was that it exposed the efforts of the president to smear and discredit people who had leaked the government reports on the nature of the Vietnam war and how it revealed that the government had been lying to the public for years about the progress and purpose of the war in order to justify the cost of thousands of American and millions of Vietnamese lives, plus billions of dollars. The cover up efforts went as far as making unwilling accomplices of innocent people in the Republican party who had no knowledge or involvement in the dirty tricks campaigns.

No.

There were elections, and the story could have been a hoax. It's an old political strategy: launch some scandal close to the elections. Later on, it's proven fake, but hey!! by then the elections already happened, so who cares!!

So they did what professional press should do: not jumping into some scandal that happens to be released conveniently before elections. But, once the elections have passed or once the scandal have been proven true, cover it adequately. They did.

Nobody gave a damn about Watergate until it was discovered that people in the highest offices in government were abusing their power in order to interfere with the investigation into it.

It's nice of you to just brush off the efforts of the president to maintain the lies sold to the USA in order to justify send thousands of young people to their deaths. And to make out that it was wrong for the media to expose this.

I saw that interview with his wife, too. Remember, she's gonna say that because it fits her agenda of wanting the kids, more payments from him, etc.

Do I believe he distrusts the government, believes some conspiracies, etc? Sure.

But at the same time he's CLEARLY acting on air, pretending to be more riled up than he really is as part of his character, etc. I'm not trying to convince anyone of that, it's simply fact.

I think we're basically saying the same thing tho. :)

Nope. His behavior is rational.

When most of media and media aggregators are controlled by your political adversary, and there's no independent media anymore, anything you state in your defense will be silenced or manipulated. If he just states that this was a hack to frame him, that would be silenced and the main narrative would be that he sent child pornography.

So, what he can do? You make some inflammatory statement that can be used to criticize you, inflammatory enough to be a bait for the press, simple enough to be difficult to manipulate... but including the original message you want to send, which is, in this case, that their servers were hacked to frame him. That will make your message go through the media banning. With this strategy, under that scenario, the balance earnings/loses is better than in most of its alternatives, which means it's a rational behavior.

Actually, Trump uses it a lot.

Nope. He's a snake oil salesman. We see it time and time again. Don't trust people. Put your trust in god instead. And buy these pills. They will save you from the evils of the world. There is only one demographic that you can monetize in that way to that extent. The religious right. Once you are willing to put your faith in fairy tales while simultaneously rejecting science then you will buy into anything including the world being flat.

I don't see how people actually believe Jones. He had a freaking before/after ad for his supps where he LOOKED THE SAME. lol And is clearly acting in his rants.

[–] ultravioletx (10216) 5 years ago

Right. But the audience that buys his stuff will buy into anything. You and I could make money off of them if we wanted to. Its very easy. But duping gullible people just isn't an endeavor I am interested in.
