Introduction \u2013 Aug 6, 2022<\/strong><\/h1>\n

We don\u2019t have too much time for Alex Jones but we do wonder if this trial against him was used as a means to discredit and silence him. After all, he was one of the world\u2019s most prominent \u201cconspiracy theorists\u201d, despite the fact that the mainstream media studiously ignored him.<\/p>\n

With an audience of tens of millions Alex Jones poses a real threat to the official narrative on a number of issues.<\/p>\n

Apart from potentially ruining him financially, the court ruling against Jones also discredits him, at least in the eyes of many. Was that the real reason Jones was taken to court?<\/p>\n

More importantly, Jones wasn\u2019t alone in claiming that the events at Sandy Hook were staged. In his book Nobody Died at Sandy Hook<\/a> Jim Fetzer also argued that the alleged shooting was used to promote the New World Order agenda of tighter gun control and surveillance.<\/p>\n

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has been ordered to pay another $45.2m (\u00a337.4m) to the parents of a Sandy Hook shooting victim, a jury has ruled.<\/p>\n

He was ordered to pay $4.1m (\u00a33.3m)<\/strong><\/a> in damages by a jury on Thursday to the parents of six-year-old Jesse Lewis, who was killed in the school massacre in 2012.<\/p>\n

Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis successfully sued Jones and his media company<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> Free Speech Systems, for defamation in October 2021.<\/p>\n

The Infowars radio programme host had repeatedly claimed the deadliest school shooting in US history was a hoax and staged by gun-control activists using actors.<\/p>\n

Twenty children and six adults were shot dead by gunman Adam Lanza, who then killed himself.<\/p>\n

Jones has now been ordered to pay $45.2m in punitive damages by a jury in Texas, though this is lower than the $75m (\u00a362m) the family had requested before the ruling.<\/p>\n

Punitive damages are those over and above the basic compensation amount, designed to punish the defendant.<\/p>\n

Mistrial motion denied within hours<\/strong><\/h2>\n
