20 Delusional Conspiracy Theories Floated by Alex Jones

June 13, 2017
Staff

WRITER

Is Megyn Kelly legitimizing Alex Jones by giving him air time during an interview? That's what many are saying, including the family members of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims. The truth, though, is that he's already been legitimized.

"The president of the United States has legitimized Alex Jones. Roger Stone, by being a fill-in host for Alex Jones, has legitimized Alex Jones. Donald Trump, Jr., who has been on his show several times, has legitimized Alex Jones. Alex Jones is not this fringe character. The New York Magazine, New York Times, The New Yorker, they have also done profiles of Alex Jones," Glenn said.

Megyn Kelly is not doing a puff piece on Jones. As her released promo shows, she's holding his feet to the fire and exposing him to the American people.

What will Kelly expose? Alex Jones' delusional conspiracy theories which --- whether real or pretend --- have harmed the media, companies and, most importantly, the victims of horrible crimes.

Here are twenty of this most outrageous claims:

1. Sandy Hook Hoax

The Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting was completely fake and manufactured with actors. "They have staged events before. But then you learn the school had been closed and reopened. And you got video of the kids going in circles, in and out of the building, and they don't call the rescue choppers for two hours. And then they tear the building down and seal it. And they get caught using blue screens. And an email by Bloomberg comes out in the lawsuit, where he's telling his people, get ready in the next 24 hours to capitalize on a shooting. Yeah, so Sandy Hook is a synthetic, completely fake, with actors, in my view, manufactured. I couldn't believe it at first. I knew they had actors there, clearly, but I thought they killed some real kids. And it just shows how bold they are, that they clearly used actors. I mean, they even ended up using photos of kids killed in mass shootings here in a fake mass shooting in Turkey."

2. Animal-Human Hybrids

The government is breeding animals and humans together.

3. Aurora Mass Shooting

There's a "100 percent chance that the mass murder committed in Aurora, Colorado, was a false flag, a mind control event."

4. Columbine High School Shooting

The 1999 school shooting was an "extremely suspicious event that had globalist operations written all over it. Columbine, as we know it, was a false flag. I'd say 100 percent false flag."

5. Tucson Shooting

"The whole thing stinks to high heaven."

6. San Bernardino Shooting

A false flag because governments want to "blame the Second Amendment."

7. Orlando Pulse Nightclub Shooting

A "false flag to take your guns and speech."

8: Boston Marathon Bombing

This thing "stinks to high heaven, #falseflag."

9. Obama Married a Man

Obama married a man, Michelle Obama, "because he's obsessed with transgender rights."

10. Vaccines

If you take vaccines, "you'll become disabled or you will die."

11. Weather Control

The government has "a weather weapon that can create and steer natural disasters."

12. Las Vegas Police Shooting

It was "absolutely staged by the government."

13. Space Shuttle Columbia Disaster

Globalists caused the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster to serve as "a distraction from Iraq."

14. 9/11

9/11 was an inside job. Popular Mechanics debunked it, but only because they are part of the CIA.

15. Bilderberg

Bilderberg people go to the Bohemian Grove "to eat gold-wrapped, roasted babies." He offered a police officer $10,000 to disprove it.

16. Comet Ping Pong

Comet Ping Pong pizza "has a labyrinth of tunnels where children are used as sex slaves." He had to apologize for that.

17. Chobani Yogurt

Chobani Yogurt is importing rapists. He had to pay a settlement for that one.

18. Fluoride Poison

Fluoride is poison and it's killing us all.

19. Oklahoma City Bombing

Oklahoma City Bombing was "an inside job and a total false flag."

20. Fetus-Flavored Pepsi

Pepsi has tested new flavorings of fetuses. "I know that there are fetal tissues in a lot of the medical treatments in the vaccines, and they are in a lot of the cosmetics. That's confirmed. We know Pepsi is involved with companies that do use the fetal parts, and we do know that it's been tested in flavor enhancement."

"How can you you do an interview with this guy and normalize him?" Glenn asked. "You're not normalizing him, you're exposing him."

Listen to this segment from The Glenn Beck Program:

GLENN: Megyn Kelly is getting hit for this piece that she has done with Alex Jones. Now, what's happening? Well, the families of Sandy Hook are complaining that you're legitimizing Alex Jones. No, the president of the United States has legitimized Alex Jones. Roger Stone, by being a fill-in host for Alex Jones, has legitimized Alex Jones. Donald Trump Jr, who has been on his show several times, has legitimized Alex Jones. Alex Jones is not this fringe character. The New York Magazine, New York Times, the New Yorker, they have also done profiles of Alex Jones.

PAT: And nobody wanted to shut them down for it.

GLENN: Nobody wants to shut them down. But NBC and Megyn Kelly -- Megyn does an interview, where we play the audio. It comes up on Sunday. We played the audio yesterday. She's not doing a puff piece. She's not grabbing him by the throat and squeezing. But she is holding his feet to the fire, and she is allowing himself to hang himself with the American people, if that's even possible anymore.

In the interview, he says, "You know what story you're not covering is the animal human hybrid story, where the government is breeding animals and humans together." Okay. Thank you.

He also says in this -- and this is what's causing the controversy, that he has done -- you know, he's played devil's advocate and said that, "No, Sandy Hook victims, they weren't real victims. They were actors." But he says on the show that he was just playing devil's advocate.

STU: Right.

GLENN: Let's play the actual audio of what he said.

ALEX: They have staged events before. But then you learn the school had been closed and reopened. And you got video of the kids going in circles, in and out of the building, and they don't call the rescue choppers for two hours. And then they tear the building down and seal it. And they get caught using blue screens. And an email by Bloomberg comes out in the lawsuit, where he's telling his people, get ready in the next 24 hours to capitalize on a shooting.

Yeah, so Sandy Hook is a synthetic, completely fake, with actors, in my view, manufactured. I couldn't believe it at first. I knew they had actors there, clearly, but I thought they killed some real kids. And it just shows how bold they are, that they clearly used actors. I mean, they even ended up using photos of kids killed in mass shootings here in a fake mass shooting in Turkey.

PAT: Unreal. Let me tell you something, that is not playing devil's advocate. That is not devil's advocate. That is his opinion. And he's pushing that theory forward.

GLENN: If I were a family member --

PAT: Man.

GLENN: And I don't know if you could do this for a public shooting, but I would mad enough that I would be with an attorney saying, "Can we sue him? Can we sue him? My child is dead. My child is dead."

PAT: And you're accusing me of faking it. That my child doesn't exist. Wow.

GLENN: That's absolutely incredible. That's not playing devil's advocate. Let me give you what else he has said. But he's now asking NBC, who is getting heat from both the right and the left and the families, getting heat for running this interview.

Alex Jones --

PAT: He's demanding they not run it.

GLENN: Alex Jones himself is demanding they don't run it.

STU: Which is evidence why you should run it.

GLENN: Why you should run it. He says that they need to cancel it because it's a hit piece. Because he's been taken out of context. Well, there's the context. Right there.

PAT: Yeah. That was in context.

GLENN: That's what he said. Okay.

He's also said, 100 percent chance that the mass murder committed in Aurora, Colorado, was a false flag, a mind control event.

PAT: So it's not just this shooting.

GLENN: Quoting: 1999 Columbine: School shooting was, quote, extremely suspicious event that had globalist operations written all over it. End quote.

Quote, Columbine, as we know it, was a false flag. I'd say 100 percent, false flag. Tucson shooting, quote, the whole thing stinks to high heaven. San Bernardino, shooting a false flag because governments want to, quote, blame the Second Amendment, end quote. Orlando --

PAT: Jeez.

GLENN: -- false flag to take your guns and speech. Boston Marathon, this thing stinks to high heaven, #falseflag, end quote.

PAT: Jeez.

GLENN: He said that Obama had married a man, Michelle Obama, because he's obsessed with transgender rights, end quote.

If you take vaccines, quote, you'll become disabled or you will die, end quote. The government has, quote, a weather weapon that can create and steer natural disasters, end quote. He claimed --

PAT: You're not claiming you don't believe that.

GLENN: He claimed Las Vegas cop shooting was absolutely staged by the government. Quoting: Globalists caused the space shuttle Columbia disaster to serve as, quote, a distraction from Iraq.

And, of course, his all-time classic: 9/11 was an inside job. Popular Mechanics debunked it, but they only debunked it because they are part of the CIA.

He also believes that the Bilderberg people go to the Bohemian Grove, quote, to eat gold-wrapped roasted babies.

PAT: He actually offered a cop $10,000 if he could disprove that.

STU: How would you disprove --

PAT: I don't know. I don't know.

GLENN: Pizza place -- comic pizza --

PAT: They have gold all over their lips after they do it. It's impossible to disprove.

GLENN: What's the name of the place?

STU: Comet Ping Pong.

GLENN: Comet Ping Pong pizza, quote, has a labyrinth of tunnels where children are used as sex slaves. He's had to apologize for that.

The latest is Chobani yogurt is importing rapists. He had to pay a settlement on that. He said fluoride is poison and it's killing us all. That the Oklahoma City bombing was, quote, an inside job and a total false flag. The Gulf of Tonkin is a false flag.

STU: Of course. It all starts there, Pat.

PAT: It does.

GLENN: And my favorite, Pepsi has tested new flavorings of fetuses.

PAT: Well, listen to his case though, you haven't heard his case.

GLENN: All right.

ALEX: I know that there are fetal tissues in a lot of the medical treatments in the vaccines, and they are in a lot of the cosmetics. That's confirmed.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: That's confirmed.

ALEX: We know Pepsi is involved with companies that do use the fetal parts, and we do know that it's been tested in flavor enhancement.

PAT: Because there's nothing more delicious than a fetus. I mean, that's pretty well-known. Right? What is that?

GLENN: No. When you have an aborted baby, you think to yourself, I wonder if we can mix this in a drink to make it taste better. That's what you think.

PAT: If I combine this with some nutmeg, it's going to be delicious.

GLENN: Again, he said in there because they're training us to be cannibals.

Now, how can you you do an interview with this guy and normalize him? How can you do -- when the president has been on his show. The president's son has been on his show.

PAT: Uh-huh.

GLENN: The president's advisers have been on his show. You're not normalizing him, you're exposing him.

STU: Of course. We have gone -- this is a country that has -- its journalists go and interview Assad and Ahmadinejad. And Putin.

GLENN: Putin.

STU: She just interviewed Putin.

PAT: They go to prison and interview people on Death Row who have murdered --

GLENN: Charlie Manson.

PAT: Charlie Manson has been interviewed multiple times.

STU: Why on -- I mean, look, Alex Jones I think is terrible for the country. But why on earth can she not --

GLENN: Okay. Because -- I have an answer to this. And it goes to why I am thrilled to have this audience and to be able to talk to you every single day. Because there is something different about this audience. And this audience is growing. This hunger is growing. And I'll tell you what it is, coming up in a second.

Top THREE reasons we NEED the Panama Canal

Is Trump seriously planning a military conquest of the Panama Canal?

In the weeks leading up to the inauguration, Donald Trump launched the Panama Canal into the national spotlight. The canal is one of the most important passages in the world, and its continued operation has been critical for both the U.S. military and economy since its construction.

Since America relinquished sovereignty of the canal, China has asserted its authority in the region. The Chinese Communist Party has been growing its influence in Panama and neighboring Latin American countries, convincing them to join their "Belt and Road Initiative," an effort to poise China as the main economic power in developing nations across the world. Panama in particular is quickly becoming a Chinese puppet state. There are currently over 200,000 Chinese living in Panama, a Chinese company runs two of the canal's five major ports, and another Chinese company provides telecommunication service for a large portion of the canal. The government of Panama has even gone as far as cutting diplomatic ties with Taiwan.

It's clear that the Panama Canal is under serious threat of falling into Chinese hands, but President Trump doesn't intend to let them move in. Here are the top three reasons we need the Panama Canal:

1. The canal was built by the U.S.

Without the United States, neither Panama nor the Panama Canal would exist. In 1903, after Colombia refused to allow the U.S. to build a canal across the isthmus of Panama, President Teddy Roosevelt devised a controversial plan. He supported a Panamanian independence movement, which swiftly overthrew the local Colombian government. Meanwhile, he stationed a U.S. warship off the coast, preventing Colombia from sending military forces to retake Panama.

The moment Panama declared its independence, the U.S. recognized it and struck a deal with the new government: the U.S. would control the Canal Zone, while Panama would receive $10 million and an annual payment of $250,000. Construction of the canal took over a decade, cost $375 million, and resulted in thousands of American casualties, making it the most expensive U.S. construction project of its time.

Fast forward to 1964 when tensions between the U.S. and Panama over the canal erupted into a riot. President Lyndon B. Johnson decided it was time to transfer control of the canal to Panama. However, this proved more complicated than expected. In 1968, General Omar Torrijos, a known ally of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, seized control of Panama in a coup. Negotiations over the Canal stalled, as many Americans opposed giving such an important asset to a controversial figure. It wasn’t until 1999, following the deployment of 27,000 U.S. troops to facilitate yet another change in power, that the Canal was officially handed over to Panama.

2. The canal is vital for the U.S. economy

The U.S. relies heavily on the Panama Canal for commercial shipping. Between 13 and 14 thousand ships use the Panama Canal every year, which is roughly 40 percent of the global cargo ship traffic. Additionally, 72 percent of ships traversing the canal are either heading toward or leaving a U.S. port.

The time ships save using the Panama Canal reduces shipping costs massively. For example, when the canal first opened in 1922, it was estimated that a ship’s journey from Oregon to the UK, was shortened by 42 percent, reducing costs by 31 percent. If the Panama Canal was blocked or destroyed, or if American merchant vessels were denied passage, the effects on the U.S. economy would be tremendous.

3. The canal is a key defense point for the U.S. military

Similarly, the canal is key to the U.S. military and national security. The canal shaves off approximately 8,000 miles of the voyage between the Pacific and the Atlantic. If U.S. Navy ships were denied access in a time of crisis, the extra time required to bypass the canal would be disastrous. Conversely, if the U.S. can keep the Panama Canal from being used by foreign aggressors, it would provide a massive advantage in future conflicts.

A foreign enemy could easily exploit the canal's current vulnerability. This was proven in 2021 when a cargo ship accidentally blocked the Suez Canal for a week, paralyzing global trade. Imagine China intentionally sabotaging the Panama Canal, considering it controls ports on both ends, owns a bridge that spans the Canal, provides its telecom services, and has the second-largest fleet of ships using the route.

TOP 5 takeaways from JD Vance's 'Face the Nation' interview

Anna Moneymaker / Staff | Getty Images

After an eventful first week in office, JD Vance wrapped the week up with a bang of an interview on "Face the Nation."

Last weekend, Vice President Vance joined "Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan, who drilled Vance on everything from the economy to immigration. Vance clapped back with polite yet cutting responses, and he defended Trump against some of her more accusatory queries.

If there was any lingering doubt that JD Vance wasn't vice presidential (or presidential) material, they have just been blown away. Here are the major takeaways from his electricinterview on Sunday:

1. J.D. Vance defends Trump's cabinet picks

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

Brennan opened the interview with a barrage of questions that brought up concerns surrounding some of Trump's cabinet picks, specifically Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard.

Brennan began by questioning how effective Pete Hegseth could be as Secretary of Defence, given that he was confirmed with a tie in the Senate that VP Vance broke. Vance responded with a quick breakdown of all of the issues the military is currently facing. Vance argued that Hegseth's unpopularity in the Senate results from his being a disruptor.

Brennan also attacked Tulsi Gabbard, calling her unfit for the title of "Director of National Intelligence." Vance defended Gabbard, citing her formidable resume and strong character. Vance also discussed the corruption of our intelligence services, which out-of-control bureaucrats have weaponized against the interests of the American people. He expressed his belief that Gabbard would be the right person to reign in the corruption and return the National Intelligence Service to its intended purpose.

2. J.D. Vance explains how Trump's economic policies will lower consumer prices

Brennan pushed Vance on the economy, specifically questioning when prices for consumer goods would begin to fall. Vance explained that within the plethora of executive orders issued by Trump during his first week in office, many were aimed at bringing more jobs back into America, which will raise wages and lower prices. Other orders will boost energy production, which will reduce energy costs and decrease the costs of goods.

3. J.D. Vance sheds light on needed FEMA reforms

Brennan drilled Vance on President Trump's proposed FEMA reforms, specifically regarding Trump's suggestion to send states a percentage of federal disaster relief funds so that they can quickly distribute aid rather than wait on federal action. While Brennen argued that FEMA has specialists and resources that states would not have access to, leaving people without aid, Vance argued that recent disasters, like Hurricane Helene, have proven that FEMA's current bureaucratic red tape deprived Americans of immediate aid when they needed it most.

4. J.D. Vance defends Trump's mass deportations

PIERRE-PHILIPPE MARCOU / Contributor | Getty Images

Vance defended Trump's decision to allow ICE to conduct raids into churches and schools against Brennen's criticisms, arguing that law enforcement should remove a dangerous criminal from a school or church, regardless of their immigration status. He also advocated for Trump's proposed changes to birthright citizenship to prevent illegal immigrants from abusing the constitutional amendment by having "anchor babies" on U.S. soil.

Vance also took a hard stance supporting Trump suspension of admitting Afghan refugees. Brennan argued that Afghan refugees were going through a thorough vetting process and were now being abandoned by the U.S. However, Vance cited the foiled terrorist attack in Oklahoma City during Trump's 2024 campaign that was orchestrated by an Afghan refugee, who was allegedly vetted by federal agents. The vetting process is clearly flawed, and it was a prudent decision to halt the admission of these refugees until further notice.

5. J.D. Vance insists that Trump will still reign in Big Tech

PIERRE-PHILIPPE MARCOU / Contributor | Getty Images

To wrap up the interview, Brennan questioned the Trump administration's stance on Big Tech given the attendance of the industry's biggest names at Trump's inauguration, including Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew. Vance assured Brennan that Trump is still resolved to curb the power and influence of Big Tech.

Top THREE reasons the U.S. NEEDS Greenland

EMIL STACH / Contributor | Getty Images

Are Trump's repeated promises to claim Greenland for the U.S. just belligerent imperialism or a deft move to secure the future of America?

During his patriotic inaugural address, President Trump reiterated his campaign promise to expand American territories, including securing U.S. control over Greenland. This is not a new idea despite what the mainstream media may claim.

The idea of buying Greenland was originally introduced by progressive hero Woodrow Wilson in 1917 as an attempt to secure the homeland as America was gearing up to enter the First World War. The second attempt came after World War II when President Truman tried to buy the island from Denmark in another attempt to shore up national security, this time against the Soviets. Since then, Trump floated the idea in 2019, which was met with much the same ridicule as now.

The truth is that the acquisition of Greenland represents far more than just an outlet for repressed imperialist desires. It would be one of America's best investments in a long time, which is why we've been eyeballing it for so long. Here are three reasons the U.S. needs Greenland:

Strategic Military Position

THOMAS TRAASDAHL / Contributor | Getty Images

For the majority of the 20th century, Europe was the region from which a foreign attack on American soil could be launched: the Germans for the first half of the century, and the Russians for the second half. On both occasions, Greenland stood between our foreign enemies and the United States.

After the World War II, America was the official military defender of Greenland, per an agreement with Denmark. Under this agreement, the U.S. built Pituffik Air Force Base, a remote base 750 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Due to its location, approximately halfway between D.C. and Moscow, the Pentagon still views Pituffik as a vital component of America's nuclear defense.

The U.S. also built a secret base within the ice cap known as Camp Century. Camp Century was part scientific outpost, part nuclear-tipped ballistic missile silo built in the ice to withstand a direct atomic strike. The nearly two miles of icy tunnels were powered by a nuclear reactor and were designed to survive a nuclear first strike, and return fire. Although abandoned in 1967, Camp Century still symbolizes the strategic importance of Greenland for U.S. security.

Untapped Resources

OLIVIER MORIN / Contributor | Getty Images

While Greenland's population is a mere 56,000, the island has a total landmass nearly three times the size of Texas. According to a 2009 geological assessment, a whopping 30 percent of the Earth's undiscovered natural gas, and 13 percent of its undiscovered oil is locked away beneath Greenland's icy ground. There are also untapped deposits of valuable rare earth metals including copper, graphite, and lithium.

Neither Greenland nor Denmark have any real plans to tap into this immense wealth trapped beneath the ice, but it could prove crucial for ending the West's dependency on China. China has the global market cornered on rare earth minerals- including America. We acquire 72 percent of our rare earth mineral imports from China, making us entirely dependent on them for the manufacturing of many essential goods. Tapping Greenland's natural resources would help free America, and the West, from China's yolk.

Polar Silk Road

In 2018 China launched an ambitious project that aimed to cut the travel time of cargo vessels between its ports and European markets in half. China, in collaboration with Russia, plans on developing new shipping routes through the Arctic Ocean. This bold new strategy, dubbed the "Polar Silk Road," has been made possible thanks to new tech, including a fleet of Russian, nuclear-powered icebreakers, the latest of which is capable of breaking through nearly 10 feet of ice.

With clear waterways from eastern China and Northern Europe, it won't be long before the first cargo ships brave the frigid sea and China looks to the next leg of the journey: the Northwest Passage. The Northwest Passage is the area of sea between Canada and the North Pole that would be an optimal shipping route between America's East Coast and Asia if it wasn't frozen over most of the year. But with new technology, we may be able to overcome the challenges of the ice and open the passage to commercial traffic, and Greenland is positioned directly on the passage's easternmost mouth.

Greenland would quickly become a key location along the Northwestern Passage, acting as a sentinel of the east, with the ability to control traffic through the trade route. If China or Russia were to take control of Greenland, they would dominate the Northwestern Passage, along with the rest of the new northern trade routes.

Is Romania squashing its own 'Trump' candidate?

DANIEL MIHAILESCU / Contributor | Getty Images

This week the streets of Bucharest, the capital of Romania, erupted in protest after the Constitutional Courts annulled the recent first round of the presidential election after the "far-right" candidate won.

The government is lying to you. If you have been listening to Glenn for a long time you already know that, and you also know that if you try to call attention to the lies you get labeled a conspiracy theorist or "far-right." This is not only true in America but across the world. Politicians cheat, steal, and grab power, then lie about all of it. This is the root of countless issues across every government on the planet, and recently Romania has become the latest example of this unfortunate phenomenon.

But what is really happening in Romania? Was this an actual attempt to stamp out someone who would shed light on lies and corruption? Or did the Romanian government put a stop to a genuine bad actor?

The Election

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

On December 6th, 2024, the Romanian Constitutional Court canceled the second round of the presidential election amid claims of Russian interference. The second round of the election would have seen right-wing candidate, Calin Georgescu face off against pro-European centrist Elena Lasconi.

The trouble surrounds Georgescu, who stands accused of using Russian aid to run an unprecedented social media campaign that helped him win an election pollsters claimed he stood no chance of winning. Georgescu's rapid rise in popularity on social media does raise some eyebrows, and to add to the suspicion he declared he had zero campaign spending. On the other hand, Georgescu's supporters claim that his quick rise to stardom and underdog victory is due to the growing resentment for the ever-out-of-touch political elite.

Georgescu's Platform

Georgescu rose to prominence on a platform many of his detractors have labeled "far-right," "pro-Russian," and "populist" (sound familiar?). His positions include supporting Romanian farmers, increasing Romanian self-reliance, and increasing local energy production. Georgescu has been lauded for his message of hope and vision for the future and his dedication to truth, freedom, and sovereignty.

Georgescu is also a vocal Christian and a supporter of the Romanian Orthodox Church. He has questioned the climate change and COVID-19 narrative as well as NATO and the war in Ukraine, which is how he earned his "Pro-Russian" monicker. Georgescu promised to respect and honor its obligations to the EU and NATO, but only to the extent that they respect Romania and its interests.

What Happens Next?

Bloomberg / Contributor | Getty Images

After Georgescu's unexpected victory, the Romanian Constitutional Courts annulled the election's first round and scheduled it to restart on May 4th. As of now, it is unclear whether Georgescu will be allowed to participate in the new election. This act by the Constitutional Courts triggered mass protests in the capital, Bucharest, and has caused many Romainians to question the state of democracy within their country.

Many of the protesters are calling what happened a coup and are demanding the election be allowed to continue to the second round. They are also calling for the resignation of current President Klaus Iohannis, who has maintained power thanks to the incomplete elections. Georgescu has officially challenged the court's decision and even made a complaint to the European Court of Human Rights, but it is unclear if his appeal will make any difference.
