Alex Jones loses custody battle due to being fucking crazy

It’s an end to some *bad *news, at least. Nowadays, yes, that counts as good news.

If Infowars doesn’t take a sharp turn into Men’s Rights Activism-territory, and Jones doesn’t start to scream about the custody system being unfair on dads, well… then we know he didn’t want his kids.

Watching that clip was the first time I had ever seen or heard Alex Jones. He sure doesn’t sound crazy!
:eek:

If you read the article, yes. If you just read the OP’s commentary, you might come the conclusion Lumpy did. I’m hoping most people here do not agree with the OP, which is tantamount to taking children away from parents for their political beliefs. First Amendment, folks. First Amendment.

I really don’t get what’s so hard to grasp about the idea that a parent’s “political beliefs” might be legitimately harmful to the child and therefore justify having one’s children being taken away. It’s a disservice to how fucking insane Alex Jones is to label his beliefs merely “political beliefs”.

"Every time I see a story like this, I smile. Crazy people with fucking batshit crazy beliefs should face consequences for spreading or acting on those batshit crazy beliefs. "

Talk about a fucking nutter. How creepy is this guy?

In his book Them: Adventures with Extremists, Jon Ronson describes hanging out with Alex Jones for a few days (they infiltrated Bohemian Grove together). I was wondering if Alex would break character at some point. Evidently he didn’t; according to Ronson, he was constantly screaming, talking nonsense, and acting like a character in some absurd conspiracy thriller.

I think it’s reasonable to conclude that, from a parenting perspective, there’s no meaningful distinction between being batshit crazy and being a performance artist who acts batshit crazy 24/7.

Perhaps the nut’s own words will help discourage the notion that it’s simply about politics.

Holy Fucking Shit!

Those in glass houses should not label others nutters.

:confused: I thought that was a thing that liberals do…

Alex Jones’s ideas would make a great fantasy book or video game.

As best as I can sum up, he thinks the elites want to kill off the vast majority of humanity and concentrate the rest in totalitarian city states (the so called Prison Planet). Then the elites will merge with machines to live forever and ascend into heaven. However, the elites have been fooled by an off world power, a Satanic figure, and they will actually be damned to Hell. The only way for humanity to ascend to the stars is to work together in love and harmony.

In the meantime, before the great purge, the elites want to dumb down everyone with vaccines, fluoride, chemtrails, and all sorts of chemical pollutants in the air, water, and food that cause IQ drops, cancer, and disrupt endocrines (hence the famous “THEY’RE MAKING THE FROGS GAY!” meme). The elites also want to make everyone worship the state and the eventual world government as a god, so to this end they trick people into abandoning other social affinity groups, like the family, by using feminism, homosexuality, and deviant sexual practices glorified in mass media. And the elites want to take everyone’s guns, of course.

It’s interesting how he piggy backs on relevant issues people are concerned about, then rockets off to a zodiac fever dream.

What must his ex have been like for him to have gotten primary custody in the first place?

:confused:

Too bad 63 million voters felt one of his followers was qualified to be president.

The oldest kids are 12 and 14. In my state, the child can make the decisions regarding visitation at 12, and custody at 14.

They want to brainwash people into thinking that THEY are “the elite”.

It’s almost the plot of Deus Ex. Which was a great game. Nothing about gay frogs, though.

Psychologist Alissa Sherry, the case manager for Jones’s divorce from his wife, Kelly, testified that Jones has been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder, which the Mayo Clinic defines as “a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others.”

Who does that sound like?

I feel sorry for his kids, but I wouldn’t trust him to babysit my dog.

Covered in post #15, I still think one of the biggest scandals of the past election was how the media forgot about pressuring the candidates for the company they keep. They even forced Obama to leave his church and he had to condemn one preacher from that church that had controversial ideas about the 9/11 attack.

It is also shameful that many on the media are acting as if the abuse of power and the damage Trump is doing is so surprising. They only needed to look at what abusers of power like Joe Arpaio did cost to states like Arizona and still Trump decided to join him at the hip and while the media did report what Arpaio was doing very little was made to pressure Trump to separate from and to condemn Arpaio (So Trump was also allowed to “ignore” what Arpaio was doing)

So, Trump also did lie about reading the bible: “He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm” -Proverbs 13:20

Your milquetoast statism and casual authoritarianism does conform to modern norms, but your apparent joy in the disintegration of a family with young children places you solidly in nutter territory.
