Alex had the best part of five years to defend himself. During that time he cycled through about 11 lawyers, including Bobby Barnes who Infowars has said in affidavit they're planning to sue for his terrible performance. They send Rob Dew as corporate deposition representative TWICE and neither time was he aware what that meant or what he was supposed to do. They then sent Daria Karpova as corporate rep, and her preparation was printing out some Wikipedia pages. Finally they hired outside counsel Brittany Paz who hadn't read the judge's orders for her deposition and wasn't prepared to discuss what she was ordered by the court to prepare on

No, Alex Jones had more than sufficient time to prepare a defense. He showed massive disrespect to the plaintiffs and the court. After neglecting to respond to any discovery WHATSOEVER for Lafferty vs Jones (just ignore it and hope it goes away), it was just too many opportunities squandered, so they got default judgement.

I have a few questions for you.

  1. If this is a show trial and Alex's defence was suppressed by the illuminati, ANSWER ME WHY the damages+punitive+sanctions will be 10million dollars cost to infowars and not the 150m the plaintiffs were asking for?

  2. Why on earth did you select this clip of a judge keeping good order in her courtroom as proof that she should be in a different country? In your imaginary nation, are the courtrooms totally chaotic where the loudest voice wins? What about maintaining decorum ought to eject a judge from the nation?

  3. Shouldn't infowars have LOVED and jumped at the opportunity to defend their case? Given that Alex claims to have all these documents and sources, shouldn't he have relished the chance to explain his side? Why didn't they engage for five years with discovery and why send those (hilarious) morons as corporate rep, if infowars weren't a bunch of grifters?

Answer me on these three or be forever a coward

You totally miss the point. I disagree with Alex Jones on most subjects and I am not interested in defending him personally. What interests me is rule of law and free speech. Now for your questions:

  1. Yes, not quite Stalin level since they still had a jury.
  2. I picked that video because the judge is so obviously an insane bitch with no respect for rule of law.
  3. All I know is about this particular case. You seem to have much more interest in Alex Jones than I do. But this case was obviously an abuse of justice.

But this case was obviously an abuse of justice.

But I thought you had an interest in rule of law and free speech? Wouldn't you have taken 5 minutes to understand the why the case skipped liability and moved straight to damages? Why didn't you just take a moment to reward your strong interest, and figure out how FIVE YEARS of ignoring production requests and court orders would lead to a default judgement?

I disagree with Alex Jones on most subjects and I am not interested in defending him personally.

Weird, because you strongly agree with him on these rule of law and free speech issues, two topics very close to your heart.

  1. Yes, not quite Stalin level since they still had a jury.

Oh ok so you're walking back when you called it a Stalinist show trial. This is you admitting you were wrong about that. Ok

  1. I picked that video because the judge is so obviously an insane bitch with no respect for rule of law.

Where in the video does any of that happen? The video which you selected and linked, shows a judge keeping good order and decorum in her courtroom. Is there another one you saw and forgot to share which shows her "obviously an insane bitch"? Do you think total disregard for rule of law, often inspires family court lawyers to become a judge, or are you going to agree that this needs walking back too?

  1. All I know is about this particular case. You seem to have much more interest in Alex Jones than I do. But this case was obviously an abuse of justice.

If so, Alex was behind 100% of the abuse. Alex didn't respond to his lawsuit and got defaulted. That's a good and normal part of the legal code and COMMON LAW. Obviously, with your interest in law, you have some good jurisprudence as to why it's ok to ignore a lawsuit and hope it goes away. You said you know this case was OBVIOUSLY an abuse of justice, so id like to hear you explain, why is it ok for Alex to ignore his lawsuits, but abusive for the plaintiffs to move for default? Should they have waited ten years when it was obvious he wasn't going to respond after five? Please explain.

Because those lawsuits are all forms of vexatious litigation. This is direct persecution and if you can’t see that then you are complicit in it. His constitutional rights are being violated and you are celebrating it. Stop gaslighting people.
