Alex Jones blew 93K in a month on dining and vacations as Sandy Hook victims await settlement money

Heavily indebted "InfoWars" host Alex Jones blew through nearly $100,000 in a single month this summer on expenses including dining, vacations and entertainment.

Meanwhile, the families he tormented with lies about the murders of their loved ones during the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre continue to await nearly $1.5 billion in damages the conspiracy theorist was ordered to pay in November.

Jones -- who's worth an estimated $14 million despite claiming financial hardship -- went through $93,000 in July alone. His expenses included nearly $8,000 in housekeeping costs and $6,700 for a Texas lake house he uses as a second home, according to an expenditure report filed with a Connecticut bankruptcy court. Jones also spent $5,600 on his boats and vehicles that month.

"It is disturbing that Alex Jones continues to spend money on excessive household expenditures and his extravagant lifestyle when that money rightfully belongs to the families he spent years tormenting," a lawyer representing some of the plaintiffs told The Associated Press.

The 49-year-old right-wing activist admitted to supporters he believes that he deserves fine dining and fancy vacations, as he continues raising money off them.

"I like to go to nice restaurants," Jones confessed on his Tuesday program, while telling viewers he's at least $1 million in debt. "That is my deal. I like to go on a couple of nice vacations a year, but I think I pretty much have earned that in this fight."

Jones claimed the January 2012 massacre that left 20 children and six adults dead was a "hoax" constructed by gun control advocates and alleged the families of the victims were part of the coverup. Witnesses who sued Jones for defamation alleged his rhetoric encouraged rabid "InfoWars" supporters and like-minded radicals to harass and torment them.

A July 2022 bankruptcy filing by his show's parent company, Free Speech Systems, has further complicated the collections process against Jones.

Osho on Spontaneity

Osho on Spontaneity – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity Osho – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity. The spontaneous person is innocent. He has a quality that only children have, and that is the meaning of purity, innocence. He has the quality that animals have and the trees have and which man has lost. To be spontaneous means not to act out of the past, because out of the past is all cunningness, cleverness, calculation, arithmetic. When you act in the moment and it has no reference to your past, the action has a beauty, a purity – the same as a small child’s act. Whether he laughs or cries or goes into a tantrum or becomes angry, all his acts have purity – it is uncalculated. His anger is hot and not cold. The calculated anger is cold. His anger is natural, a responsiveness. He has not brooded over it, he has not planned it. He is just in the hands of nature – hence the beauty. He is surrendered to his nature; he is not trying to cont...

British victory in Falklands War might spur Argentina to build nukes CIA feared

Agency worried that Argentina's political isolation following defeat could play a role in a decision to advance its nuclear program The CIA feared that British victory in the 1982 Falklands conflict would encourage Argentina's ruling military junta to step up its efforts to construct nuclear weapons, according to a newly uncovered report. Intelligence analysts at the spy agency examining the issue of nuclear proliferation wrote in a secret report that "the Falkland Islands crisis is raising security issues for Buenos Aires that could influence Argentine attitudes towards the development of nuclear technology." The report, dated 24 April 1982, said: "A humiliation in the Falklands probably would encourage the conclusion that the possession of nuclear weapons - or merely the foreign belief that Argentina had such weapons - might have made the UK more accommodating. A major reverse for Argentina in the dispute could persuade it to proceed to build nuclear weapons....
