They're given out for pretty unusual/exceptional events. This is one of the most disturbing posts I've read on CP.

Just something like... Vile.

You're potentially buying votes for gun control. Show them the horror, they'll bend.

Honestly. The "libtrards " don't even need to try this crap. Everyone and their dog can get a gun and one person having the worst day ever in the states can go off and wipe out 30 ppl at any given moment. The stuff writes itself, it doesn't need nudges from political ideologists.

As for the 9/11 stuff. I entertained it for a year or two. Just to hear perspectives. After all the American Government doesn't have a spotty clean record of sacrificing their own to gain things. In the end though I figured it wasn't adding up.

I think at best you could credit Cheyney/Bush for Capitalizing on the event, but I'd be hard pressed to be convinced the U.S Government staged that.

But man did they make out like bandits afterwards

Homeland security, Iraq 2.0. The Hallibutron contracts, NSA data collection and so on and so forth.good for them for seizing the opportunity.

Like they guy who bull####ted you for years has said "ya, that was all bull####" and your response is "well, actually..." you are so far gone it isn't worth the words.

conspiracy theory doesn't believe in facts though. Conspiracy theorist double down.

"Alex Jones was forced to say that"

Just waiting for another grifter to step into Jones' void and take advantage of the mouth breathers that are all too happy to believe anything that validates their narrative...

Its hilarious that Jones, when he started, was talking about UFOs, Lizard and shadow people...and yet somehow he's a genius investigative reporter uncovering vast conspiracies?!?

Laughable if it wasn't so ####ing disgusting.

That’s standard shock doctrine.

While chaos is happening you can move in and consolidate power and bulldoze norms. You don’t need to be the agent of chaos.

Alex Jones now being sued for $2.75 Trillion. Apparently friends and family of his that attempted to hide assets for him in his bankruptcy proceedings are likely to face fraud charges and money clawed back as part of his other prior lawsuit.

The absurd dollar figures make me happy. Alex Jones deserves to pay every bit of it.

didn't he mockingly say "why don't they make it trillions?" when they read the verdict? Well, you get what you ask for.

The big win will be if he ends up in prison for fraud or contempt or something else associated with this trial... I suspect the plaintiffs will just keep the pressure on until that happens.

The last thing I need to see myself on is more lists.

Judge orders Jones to pay more money.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/10/media...ges/index.html

A Connecticut judge on Thursday ordered right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to pay an additional $473 million in punitive damages over the lies he told about the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

Connecticut Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis awarded the families over $323 million in common law punitive damages for attorney's fees and costs and $150 million in damages under a state law called the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act, which prohibits unfair competition and deceptive acts.
