Alex Jones Suffers Defeat In Custody Hearing

/ Reuters

AUSTIN — After a grueling 10-day trial, a jury has ruled in favor of Alex Jones&; wife, Kelly, in the custody of their three children.

The jury, which deliberated for roughly nine and a half hours, ruled Thursday night to give Kelly Jones joint custody with the ability to dictate the residence of the children. Previously, Ms. Jones had joint custody with limited, supervised visitation rights with residence dictated by Alex Jones.

It was a defeat for Alex Jones, who watched the verdict with a stoic face and left promptly after the verdict without talking to reporters. Upon hearing the verdict, Kelly Jones dabbed her eyes with a tissue and hugged her lawyer, Robert Hoffman.

Moments later, Kelly Jones spoke briefly to the press, thanking God for the verdict.

“I&039;m so blessed to have such a wonderful support system and I just pray that what&039;s happened to my family that people can understand what parental alienation syndrome is and get an awareness of it so we can stop this from happening to others,” she said.

The verdict came on the same day as the lawyers delivered their closing arguments. On Alex Jones&039; side, his lawyers portrayed his ex-wife Kelly Jones as emotionally unstable and quick to wrongly accuse the Texas family court system of deep corruption against her. Conversely, Kelly Jones&039; lawyers made the case that Alex Jones was a “master manipulator” who&039;d alienated the children against her.

“Mr. Jones is like a cult leader,” attorney Robert Hoffman told the jury. “And we&039;ve seen the horrific damage cult leaders do to their followers.”

Hoffman argued that the trial focused unjustly on the faults of Kelly Jones, allowing Alex to fly under the radar. “Is it Mr. Jones&039; celebrity or his vast wealth that&039;s allowed him to escape detection? Nobody can stop this man,” he said to the jury allowing the words to hang in the air for dramatic effect. “Except for you.”

The custody case — a somewhat ordinary family law matter — quickly captured national media attention after news broke that Jones’ attorneys planned to defend his custody on the grounds that his two-plus decades of conspiracy theorizing has been “performance art.”

For onlookers, the trial then offered the allure of answering the burning question: Where does Alex Jones the character end and Alex Jones the man begin?

But the thorny prospect of untangling Jones&039; professional life from his personal life was largely rejected by the court. Judge Orlinda Naranjo would not allow attorneys for Jones&039; ex-wife to submit clips from Infowars, Jones&039; radio and online news outlet that broadcasts his conspiratorial views.

During a hearing last week without the jury present, Naranjo did not allow into evidence multiple clips of Jones angry, shirtless, and ranting on his show. The judge also disallowed a clip of Jones and his 14-year-old son at a party where there was a dartboard plastered with images of Hillary Clinton on the grounds that the evidence was overtly political. “I don&039;t want this case tried in the press. It should be tried in here,” the judge told the attorneys.

At another moment this week, one of Alex Jones&039; lawyers told the court, “I know we were told that we’re not going to allow this court to try Infowars.”

The court got its wish. Infowars and Jones&039; status as America&039;s best known conspiracy theorist was rarely mentioned around the jury, save for a few brief moments where Kelly Jones&039; attorney&039;s noted that Jones “spewed violent hate in his professional life.” Only one very short clip of Jones allegedly intoxicated on air was played for the jury. (The clip was edited at the request of the judge to remove the phrase “1776 will commence again” on the grounds that it was political speech.)

Questions of Jones&039; character were discussed. On the witness stand, Kelly Jones accused him of being a “violent, cruel, and abusive man who engages in hate speech at home and in public.”

She accused him of racist and homophobic comments, as well as frequent comments demeaning to women. “He’s enraged and out of control all the time,” she said, calling Infowars (which Mrs. Jones was involved with many years ago) “a portal of hate.”

Jones and his lawyers meanwhile painted a picture of a kind and gentle family man who never brings his work home with him. “I just want to be with the kids, swim in the pool, and eat hamburgers,” Alex Jones told the court last week.

Far from an indictment of Jones&039; conspiratorial nature, the trial was largely a role-reversal for Jones. For the better part of two weeks, his high-priced attorneys argued that Jones provided a stable and secure life for his family, while simultaneously leveling every mainstream critique that&039;s been hurled at Alex&039;s show and personality for the last two decades onto Kelly Jones, railing against her supposed conspiratorial accusations.

At the end of his closing arguments Jones&039; attorney, David Minton, told the court that Kelly Jones “uses inverted logic and an inverted sense of reality,” a line of criticism that might sound familiar to Jones.

Though the trial hardly hinged on Jones&039; professional career or the defense that Jones&039; Infowars personality was “performance art,” Jones&039; own testimony provided no shortage of surreal moments.

Testimony from Jones&039; March 4 deposition revealed that he was unable to recall the names of his children&039;s teachers after eating a big bowl of chili. He admitted to occasionally smoking marijuana — nearly yearly — “to monitor its strength, which is how law enforcement does it.” And in typical Jonesian fashion, he told the court he tested the drug because he believes it is now too strong, thanks to billionaire and political donor George Soros, whom he claimed in court has “brain damaged a lot of people.”

For Jones the end of the trial not only means a resolution in a heated, years-long legal battle, but also the end of an uncharacteristic bit of restraint.

Jones, used to owning the spotlight and speaking his mind, was largely unable to communicate, both personally and professionally, during the trial. Throughout the case — both on the witness stand and behind his attorneys&039; desk — Jones appeared restless, constantly shifting in his seat, pacing, and running his hands across his face in exasperation. On the stand, he was aggressive and animated. He was admonished by the judge roughly a dozen times for finger pointing, aggressively nodding his head, and refusing to answer witness questions with a simple “yes or no” response.

But though the verdict has been read, it&039;s unlikely Jones will remain silent.

On numerous occasions throughout the two weeks Jones appeared to flaunt the court&039;s gag order not to speak about the trial. He released a number of videos via Infowars. “I am completely real and everybody knows it,” he said in one video posted Tuesday morning as he was driving to the courthouse.

Just on Thursday morning before the court came into session for the final time, Jones wandered into the gallery and took a seat next directly next to the members of press who&039;ve been covering the trial.

“I&039;m surprised the media missed the biggest story here,” he said.

When one reporter asked what exactly that story was, Jones shot back a wry glance.

“You&039;ll find out.”

Here's What Happens When Your Life Becomes An Alt-Right Meme

Meet Kyle Chapman, aka “Based Stickman.”

You might know him from this picture — taken at the recent violent political protests in Berkeley, California — which went pretty viral:

Or from the video of him breaking a wooden sign on the head of an anti-Trump counter-protester at a March 4 rally in Berkeley, California, which now has more than half a million views, and spawned dozens of YouTube remixes.

youtube.com

At the chaotic skirmishes that have overtaken Berkeley over the last few months, Chapman has been a fixture, clad in a shield, bike helmet, gas mask — and, of course, the big ol’ wooden stick that inspired his nickname, which is a combination of the slang term “based” (meaning “true to oneself and uncaring about others’ opinions“) and his weapon of choice.

Chapman did not respond to multiple requests for comment from BuzzFeed News, but according to local media outlet Berkeleyside, the 41-year-old is a diver by day; his Based Stickman Facebook page lists his location as Daly City, California. He describes himself on his personal Facebook page as a “Proud American Nationalist” and an “ardent Trump supporter.” And now, he&;s a human meme of the alt-right, with the webstore, rabid fanbase, and emergent movement to to go along with it.

Chapman has created Based Stickman accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to interact with his fans and solicit donations. His Reddit AMA in r/thedonald drew thousands of comments. He’s expressed interest in going to San Diego Comic Con to pitch a graphic novel about his persona, and used the right-wing crowdfunding site Wesearchr to bankroll the bail for his next inevitable arrest. (As of now, the page has raised $86,500.) On April 29, he and a number of other alt-right figures will host a gathering on California’s Mt. Baldy celebrating President Trump’s first 100 days. He’s partnered with right-wing apparel store Gruntworks to create an entire line of Based Stickman merch: hoodies ($39.99), T-shirts ($23.99), and stickers ($3-$5) in his likeness. Based Stickman is a brand.

He&039;s also the celebrity leader of a nascent para-military wing of the alt-right. In a recent Reddit Ask Me Anything on the forum r/thedonald, he urged his fans to usher in “a resurgence of a warrior spirit to Western Society.” In the same AMA, one poster wrote, “Thank you for your service&;”, mimicking the way people address military veterans. Chapman responded, “You&039;re welcome&033; It&039;s an honor to be of service to the people who love this country as much as I do.” On April 22, Chapman formed the “Fraternal Order of Alt-Knights,” a militant group within the alt-right fraternity The Proud Boys, which was started by Vice co-founder and right-wing media figure Gavin McInnes (he and Vice split ways 10 years ago). According to a Facebook post by Chapman, the group will focus on “street activism, preparation, defense, and confrontation.”

According to a Proud Boys news site, the Alt-Knights will step in when police are told to stand down. At an April 15 clash in Berkeley, the Proud Boys were already doing essentially that, acting as bodyguards for Lauren Southern, one of the far-right-wing rally’s invited speakers, as she filmed the chaos. The Proud Boys are recognizable by their black and yellow polo shirts.

Though Chapman is an avowed member of the so-called alt-right — the loose confederation of white nationalists, libertarians, and other far right-wingers supporting Donald Trump that largely formed online — he seems to think the racially motivated parts of his movement aren’t the best thing for it. In April 25 Facebook post, he tried to disown people photographed in Seig Heil postures at the April 15th event in Berkeley. Some of his fans were not happy, saying that his negative views of white nationalism were a sign that liberals or “anti-fascists” had gotten to him.

Anti-fascists, Antifa for short, are Based Stickman’s sworn enemies, the Joker to his Batman. They’re the black-clad Left-wing protesters who have appeared in Berkeley in recent months, disrupting Milo Yiannopoulos’ plans for a speech and fighting right-wingers in Berkeley’s parks and streets.

As a result of his activities as Based Stickman, Chapman has been arrested on suspicion of committing a number of felonies, though the charges from the March 4 riot have been dropped. He may still face charges for participating in a riot, though, according to an April 18 Facebook post.

Chapman is a living meme, and he knows it.

He wrote in an April 22 Facebook post, “The value of our meme warriors cannot be understated. Hail the meme warriors, Hail 4chan&033;” (The post linked to a Wired article titled “Don’t Look Now, But Extremists’ Memes Are Turning Into Militias.”) He’s also said that before his internet fame, he didn’t spend much time online.

youtube.com

And yet: Stickman&039;s sphere of influence appears to be widening. A Based Stickman Facebook group has appeared in an attempt to establish a local chapter in Phoenix. Right-wingers have recently put out calls online to arm themselves and fight against protesters on Thursday, the evening Ann Coulter was set to speak at UC Berkeley (Coulter isn&039;t speaking, but the protests went on nonetheless.) In one forum, the first response to the summons is “Will Based Stickman be there?”

The UC Berkeley administration, when justifying its initial cancellation of Coulter’s speech, cited the exchange on the bodybuilding forum as evidence that violence would erupt on campus if the event were allowed to continue. Chapman himself has issued calls to fans to be there that day, and attended in full riot gear.

Here’s someone copying Chapman’s methods in downtown Berkeley:

Based Stickman is gearing up for war much in the way a Wrestlemania personality would. In a video posted yesterday on his Facebook page in advance of Thursday&039;s protest, he shouts out his fans: “my troops, patriots, freedom fighters, and warriors.” And much like a Wrestlemania hero, Chapman sees success as a foregone conclusion. “Guys, I’ll tell you right now. We will be victorious tomorrow. Our victory is all but guaranteed.”

Visa Inc. Gains Speed and Operational Efficiency with Docker Enterprise Edition

2017 was an opportunity to hear from customers across multiple industries and segments on how they are leveraging technology to accelerate their business. In the keynote on Day 2 and also a breakout session that afternoon, Visa shared how Docker Enterprise Edition is empowering them on their mission is to make global economies safer by digitizing currency and making electronic payments available to everyone, everywhere.
 
Visa is the world’s largest retail electronic payment network that handles 130 billion transactions a year, processing $5.8 trillion annually. Swamy Kocherlakota, Global Head of Infrastructure and Operations, shared that Visa got here by expanding their global footprint which has put pressure on his organization which has remained mostly flat in headcount during that time. Since going into production with their Docker Containers-as-a-Service architecture 6 months ago, Mr. Kocherlakota has seen a 10x increase in scalability, ensuring that his organization will be able to support their overall mission and growth objectives well into the future.
Global Growth Fuels Need for A New Operating Model
In aligning his organization to the company mission, Swamy decided to focus on two primary metrics: Speed and Efficiency.

Speed is tied to developer on boarding and developer productivity. Visa wants new developers to be able to deploy code on their first day. That means giving them tools they are familiar with and getting out of their way. It also means providing developers access to infrastructure whenever and wherever they need it.

Efficiency is tied to Visa’s ability to maximize utilization of their existing datacenter footprint while also reducing the time the team spends on patching and refreshing hardware. Optimizing their efficiency also frees up both headcount and datacenter resources to support their global growth initiatives.

While considering how they could support these objectives, Visa also has to meet the high bar on security and availability that underpins everything they do. Some of the core systems at Visa have had zero downtime over a span of 20 years!
Modernizing with Docker Enterprise Edition
After investigating different technologies and vendors who could help them achieve both speed and efficiency objectives, Visa chose Docker Enterprise Edition (Docker EE) to help them move towards a microservices application model while also modernizing their data center operations.
Visa was looking for an enterprise-ready solution and appreciated the integrated approach of the Docker EE stack which includes scheduling, service registry, service discovery, container networking, and a centralized management control plane. Docker EE allows them to manage multiple development, QA, and staging environments, gain visibility across their container environment, and retain full control over role-based access.
Visa chose two key applications to begin their Docker journey – a core transaction processing application and a risk decision system. These were legacy monolithic applications which they began to containerize into services. Those two applications are now running in production on Docker EE across multiple regions and handling 100,000 transactions per day. They consist of 100 separate containers and have the ability to instantly scale to 800 when transactions peak.
To learn more about Visa’s application architecture, watch the breakout Docker Networking in Production at Visa below:

Results and Benefits

With Docker EE now in production, Visa is seeing improvements in a number of ways:

Provisioning time: Visa can now provision in seconds rather than days even while more application teams join the effort. They can also deliver just-in-time infrastructure across multiple datacenters around the world with a standardized format that works across their diverse set of applications.
Patching & maintenance: With Docker, Visa can simply redeploy an application with a new image. This also allows Visa to respond quickly to new threats as they can deploy patches across their entire environment at one time.
Tech Refresh: Once applications are containerized with Docker, developers do not have to worry about the underlying infrastructure; the infrastructure is invisible.
Multi-tenancy: Docker containers provides both space and time division multiplexing by allowing Visa to provision and deprovision microservices quickly as needed. This allows them to strategically place new services into the available infrastructure which has allowed the team to support 10x the scale they could previously.

To hear more about how Visa was able to gain 10x scalability for their application with Docker, watch Swamy&;s presentation from the Day 2 general session below:

Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) is designed for enterprise development and IT teams who build, ship and run business critical applications in production at scale. Docker EE is integrated, certified and supported to provide enterprises like Visa with the most secure container platform in the industry to modernize all applications.
