About Kelly Jones
As seen in Rolling Stone, Newsweek, Inside Edition and more, Kelly Jones is an outspoken Family Court Justice activist.
Despite winning a Jury verdict in 2017, her ex-husband, Alex Jones’ ceaseless Abuse of Process and Vexatious Litigation continues to infringe on Kelly’s family’s Human and Civil Rights.
In June 2018, Newsweek covered Kelly Jones’ legal outreach for representation in her $130 million personal injury lawsuit against her ex, Alex Jones, including requests to Michael Avenatti and Gloria Allred. Citing Defamation, Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress and Interference with Custody, Kelly is asking she be awarded Infowars.com as part of her General Damages.
When awarded Infowars.com, Kelly Jones pledges to sell it of to pay reparations to Alex Jones’ defamation victims and to fund lobbying and legal efforts to forever alter the landscape of America’s broken Family Court System.
Kelly draws a parallel between the story of Dumbo the Elephant’s Mom, who was thrown into a cage and called a Mad Elephant for trying to defend her baby from bullies, and good mothers who are routinely gaslit by corrupt experts in Family Court.
Kelly lost her children for years off the lies of corrupt experts who have admitted perjury and destroyed their files. They didn’t care about Alex Jones, who has a Narcissistic Personality Disorder, but sought to stress Kelly out and traumatize her into a reaction, by taking her children.
Kelly is devoted to extinguishing the Victorian Family Court gaslight to bring America’s Family Court system into the 21st Century. It is a national crisis that cannot continue in the era of the #metoo movement.
Kelly has been forced into to four concurrent lawsuits by her ex, Alex Jones, including both a State and Federal Appeal, her Personal Injury Tort and a new Custody Modification Alex recently filed. She fully expects to prevail in all four suits.
CustodyWars.com is dedicated to providing non-legal client-based support, to help those dealing with emotional abuse or divorcing a narcissist, and to advocacy and activism about Family Court injustice.
Media and interested attorneys, please contact media@custodywars.com or call Kelly at 512-572-9440
You can donate to Kelly here. Alex Jones has eight lawyers, including a former Supreme Court Justice and Randy and Alison Wilhite, who are representing him against the Sandy Hook parents.
Randy Wilhite charges over $600/hr. Alex Jones is collectively paying eight attorneys thousands of dollars a day on a daily basis. He has used infowars.com fundraisers/donations/funds to litigate cruelly against Kelly Jones for years.
Kelly spent all her liquid assets and was financially devastated in the Jury trial that culminated with her victory. Kelly Jones is Pro Se (or self-represented) in her Federal Appeal and Tort case. If 100,000 people donated $5 dollars, Kelly would be able to fully fund her injury lawsuit and #unpluginfowars when she prevails.
DENISE MANGE
After a decade working at some of the most prestigious advertising agencies in New York City, Denise left the glitz and glamor of Madison Avenue to pursue a true sense of fulfillment and soul’s purpose, which she found working with dogs. Upon certification through traditional dog obedience training programs, she realized there had to be more that could be done to honor the connection between pups and their humans.
Looking for ways to foster those deeper connections, Denise studied with some of the top animal communicators and intuitives in the field, and eventually developed a unique brand of mindful dog training to help pet parents forge a loving partnership with their pups through the lens of mind, body, and energetic connection.
Denise’s proprietary process Translating Beyond Behavior(SM) provides a roadmap to how your pet’s behaviors can give you specific insight into the healing that is ready to take place, including limiting beliefs to process and which chakras they affect. Denise’s integrative approach helps foster true partnerships and heart-centered connections that deepen the compassion and understanding of the lessons your animal companions are here to share with you, using methods such as chakra work, animal communication, and pet numerology in conjunction with the fundamentals of traditional obedience training. Think of it as self-help, for Pet’s sake!
Denise believes that energy connects us all, and whether in the context of traditional dog obedience training or communicating with your animal companion, energy matters. The most basic and primal way to communicate with each other, and especially with our pets, is energetically, but somewhere along the way it seems to have been forgotten as a basic building block of dog obedience training and living a more connected life with your animal companion. Denise is here to change that, and forge a new path forward in pet guardianship.
