I don't know about the "right hand man" part, but Blood often hosted Alex's show when Alex was unavailable.. as recently as 2009. I don't know how credible or honest Blood is, but that was very interesting to hear him speak out. Now Mike Hanson is a guy who WAS Alex's right hand man for several years, worked with Alex, and in fact filmed much (most?) of his early videos, and he is never spoken of anymore. I think they had a falling out as well, but I don't know the details. I don't know what to think about all this b/c Alex does sound somewhat humble, admits his faults often, etc. but he also does seem to have a huge ego and probably a control freak. I like him as a rabblerouser though but his schtick does get old sometimes. Sure, the gov't lied about 9/11, but that was almost a decade ago, and they've done plenty more evil since then.
