You’re on notice. I'm fixin' to preach. But first, a wonder from CNN.
New York(CNN)— Interested in owning Alex Jones’ conspiracy theory empire, Infowars? Its parent company, Free Speech Systems, is now officially up for sale following the approval of a Texas bankruptcy judge on Tuesday.
Everything from the Infowars.com domain, to its social media accounts, subscriber list, and even production equipment and studio set will be auctioned off piece by piece to the highest bidder on November 13, according to the auction house handling the bidding.
The proceeds of the sale, which could fetch millions of dollars, will be used to chip away at the nearly $1.5 billion Jones owes the families of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. Jones went into personal bankruptcy after he was ordered to pay the massive sum for pushing false conspiracy theories about the 2012 massacre that left 26 people dead.
(Okay, CNN. I might have mentioned the part about them mostly young children, along with six teachers and staff members. But we know you know we know.)
It's hard to predict to what extent life is going to go from not-good to terrible for Alex Jones. I admit I hope they get worse. This is the best I can do to express good wishes for the man.
I hope he loses everything. I hope whatever work he does he'll be doing to pay the plaintiffs in this case for the rest of his life. He deserves this and more. (I guess he can’t go to prison on account of the 1st Amendment. Every good thing, like free speech, comes at a cost.) If he tries to reduce his losses by selling his company, and his show, and his ridiculous businesses to some silly investors who will continue to do evil, I hope the Sandy Hook families and their lawyers and the courts will find a way to stop it. Hound him. Show no mercy. This is a rare case where the only mercy is a lack of mercy.
The only hope for this kind of person to become a decent human being is to lose everything and to be fully broken down. Lose the business. Lose the houses and cars and money, all the property. All of it. Broken down. “Broke down” even. (You have to lose good grammar sometime to make the point.) Down to the mineral state. Reduced to figurative piles of assorted elements and combinations thereof. Gone all the pride and lies and exploitation and cruelty. The self abandoned. A nameless man. A home only via the kindness of others. The kinds of others who are the inverse of Alex Jones, who do good for people who do evil.
If there is nothing in him from which redemption might grow, he will be lost no matter what happens. My beliefs move me to be slow to conclude there’s no soul without a spark of goodness. If there is some tiny spark there, there's some hope. But I suspect only if he loses everything and then owes everything and embraces a life of true and complete service to his victims and to others. I don't think there's a middle way for Alex Jones. Die bitter or die repentant and in the service of others. Good luck, Alex, with the understanding that the only good luck for you, is ultimately, is a whole lot more bad luck. I hope you get it.
Amen, y'all?

What about the judge and governor of Missouri who refused to delay the execution of a possibly wrongly convicted man? How can they ever expiate their crime? These people lack consciences. They are political creatures—monsters. Alex Jones and people of his ill are evil. Evil isn’t correctable or forgivable. Right and wrong are foreign concepts to these gargoyles.
No doubt A Jones is a walking A-hole, though small potatoes compared to every monster working for Fox "News", the most divisive & dangerous vector in America. Fox perpetrates more evil in a week than Jones burped out in his entire career. Surely all the evidence required to strip away Rupert Murdoch's machinery of doom is there. Think Merrick Garland will help?
