Still, I didn’t expect it to be this bad, and I’m not sure anyone else did either. According to multiple news sources , Jones has been ordered to pay $965 million in compensatory damages to the families he defamed. WATERBURY, Conn. (AP) — Jury says Alex Jones should pay $965 million to people who suffered from his lies about the Sandy […]

Years ago, we were acquainted with a couple who loaned us a VHS tape that we “just had to watch!”. The video was professionally produced and very dramatic. It told stories about Alex Jones and Jesse Ventura and how they were these great purveyors of truth. They spoke of how the government was out to assassinate them both. It showed them as heroes desperately attempting to get the truth out before the government would have its ultimate way. I instantly lost any respect for these men.
Alex Jones makes bank off of lies and half truths. Lies mixed with truth are still damn’d lies. Alex Jones’ words hurt these people. His adoring fans amplified that hurt. That is exactly the effect sought by Mr Jones up until his wealth became threatened. THEN, he wants his “I’m sorry” to to mitigate all the hateful lies he’s spewed.
Jones and his acolytes try to make this out as a trial against our First Amendment. That contrivance is another lie. Freedom of speech is unalienable and a gift from God. With rights come responsibilities. Our honor hinges on the truth. Most of us learn that as we mature; starting first time we’re caught with a hand in the cookie jar. For some, the truth remains an enemy.
Alex Jones continues to exercise his freedom of speech. His contrition comes off as phony. Justice may lead to his ruination. Perhaps he will abandon his pride, examine his wickedness and seek out the most Excellent Counselor. He may look back on these dark days as a hinge to Best thing ever.
