I really wonder what mental gymnastics Alex's listeners have to do to when on Monday Alex says " you're an idiot for living in a demon hellspawn city full of babby rapers" and on Tuesday he says " I turned down 5 lucrative offers to be the head of right wing news because I didn't want to leave this city"

If I believed the offers existed I’d expect the ones to relocate for were based in bigger cities than Austin.

It's very telling that Jones still lives in Austin, one of the most liberal cities in not only Texas but the South. He could have easily relocated to most anywhere else in Texas, but he's been living there for decades. He could have probably bought multiple ranches with full bunkers and studios by now or relocated to Dallas or Houston, probably not San Antonio due to the population of Bexar County being majority Hispanic. He's not even from Austin either and the city has voted Democrat all but 2 times in the last 43 years so it's not like it got flooded with liberal, NIMBY tech people recently.

So how likely is it that Alex starting a home studio that is definitely legally distinct from Free Speech Systems and probably under someone else's name will allow him to continue operating without conceding any of the profit to his financial vortex?

Alex was sued both as Free Speech Systems and as himself, this changes nothing. Filing it under someone else's name is going to be the same situation as the bankruptcy and quickly seen through

I would love an Alex Jones cooking show where he just burns cookies and tartines all day and gets mad. Or a Townsends style show where he tries to live the 1776 Way and builds the shittiest log cabin ever and freezes to death.

According to the Wayback Machine, the "new" website existed in '17, but under the realm of a domain squatter saying the domain name was for sale. This continued until March of '19 when it was still listed as for sale with an asking price of 45,000 USD. A few months later in June of the same year, "alexjones.live" then redirects to InfoWars.

This does not last for long, though. A month later, in August of the same year, the website redirects to QMAP -- one of the primary aggregators of QAnon content, likely owned an operated by Jim Watkins of 8chan fame. This would've been in the area of time when QAnon and Jones were fighting for the same audience share of gullible rubes, putting them into conflict with one another. The redirect stays there for another two years, until 2021.

The domain is registered by Epik, the primary web registrar for almost all online extremists of right-wing leanings who are too extreme for most other hosting platforms. The WHOIS says it was registered on 2021-08-30 and has remained updated by the same owner since then. However, this "owner" might not be Alex specifically, but instead might be Epik themselves. The only Wayback snapshot of the site at that time is another squatting page, but this time mentioning Epik specifically. The WHOIS says the DNS has been updated last month, but the update does not change the end-of-August registration term.

So has Alex been banned from Twitch? Because what I gathered from his wanting to paint is that he wants to become a streamer

Non-zero chance that Alex is being forced to go to therapy and he’s discovered that art therapy helps him…so, of course, he wants to monetize it.

It was a semi-recent 2003, I think.

I dunno why but the thought of Alex genuinely being a good painter makes me laugh a lot. I hope he is and does a Bob Ross.

I remember one of the first episodes I heard was Alex interviewing some 30+ year old incel who sued his parents for forcing him to move out and at some point during it he just randomly suggested to the kid that he should become a successful painter as a way to support himself

Oh man, this part about smashing the trolls/haters/globalists' heads into the concrete is probably based on the real life incident where Alex, a bully, smashed some kid's head into concrete and caused them brain damage. That kid's friends later ambushed and beat the poo poo out of Alex, which is why he moved out of his hometown. The story he tells is that he discovered the town's police were dealing drugs through some nancy drew nonsense, and the coverup by city hall and the chief of police is what forced his parents to move.

It’s in addition he’s in studio most days lately.

E: A thing I was surprised Dan didn’t mention about today’s ep was this Matt Baker guy had been on the main infowars show the same day and raised a bit of a stink unprompted about how he thought he was getting an hour on the show when it was actually a half hour and AJ then presented his inclusion on the in-home podcast as a sort of make-good.

I started to make a post a week ago that boiled down to "My not-a-lawyer opinion is that Alex could totally do a legally distinct entity and just keep going, but there's a good chance he'll gently caress it up like he did with the dumb maneuvers with the shell companies."

And wow, on the second (I think) episode he proceeds to declare to the world that he's comingled the servers and that they're basically the same company. Wow.

Lesson is :justpost:. Lol. Shame about the painting show but maybe he can get a 3rd legally distinct entity for it.
