The biggest misconception people have about false flag operations is that they don’t include deaths. They are military operations after all. Even Pelosi’s Putin comment about false flags pointed that out. Both from a acknowledgement of false flag operations aspect,as well as deaths. Alex Jones asking relevant questions about known liars ( 911)is not wrong. The propaganda used in tandem with the digital book burning censorship would make Hitler blush. Like him, or hate him Jones asking questions should be protected under constitutional law. His wanted, or unwanted opinion also. This is a slippery slope.

If that is what you are saying, you are completely wrong. This stage of the trial was to determine damages anyway. Jones refused to participate in the portion of the trial to determine liability-a default judgement was entered for Jones there. He could have participated there and (possibly) argued toward a different judgment. He creates this mess on his own through 1) his wild claims over many years and 2) refusal to engage in the trial and make his defense.

@GoonieGooGoo Strange conclusion and not connected to what we see in the video. I don’t believe you watched the trial that you are commenting on.

@GoonieGooGoo Why would the court allow a statement after the default judgment was entered? Because they need to try to assign a dollar amount to the harm Jones caused and a punitive amount to deter him and others from engaging in such harmful behavior in the future. They split it up so that the jury can focus on one matter and then the other. They need to see evidence and hear witness testimony during the damages portion of the trial so they can consider what they should say Jones owes to make this right by the plaintiffs.

It's a trademark attribute of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I'm no psychologist, I just grew up with a parent with all the same traits. I can't say that they have it bc technically they weren't diagnosed w NPD. The person in question has to willfully go to therapy for the diagnosis, which my parent didn't do. VERY FEW people with NPD are officially diagnosed for this reason. My guess is that Alex Jones has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, but will never have to face that fact bc he will probably never step foot in a therapist office.

Did you see any of the dead bodys in the school ? The head detective would have had to answer that he did not see any dead bodys in the school .

[@davebaton8879]

Yes, usually there would also be a trial about whether or not Alex Jones and Info Wars are liable before a jury. However Alex Jones and Info Wars/ Free Speech Systems did not fulfill their discovery obligations for a very long time while the plaintiffs did. As a result the judge found that the appropriate sanction for this behavior is a default judgement finding Alex Jones, Free Speech Systems and Info Wars liable. So all that remains of the trial is the part where the jury has to decide how much Alex Jones, Info Wars and Free Speech Systems have to pay to plaintiffs.

Yes the trial you see here is for damages, his side refused to comply with court orders to hand over documents so they automatically lost the legal proceeding side of things.
