This time it might be for real.
Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones could soon be forced to stop airing his Infowars show and give up the company’s property, including everything from desks and microphones to the Infowars brand name.
A state judge in Texas Wednesday ordered Infowars’ assets to be turned over to a newly-appointed state receiver, who will sell them to pay the families of the Connecticut children killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. They won a $1.3 billion defamation case against Jones after he spread bogus conspiracies that the shooting never happened and the grieving families were actors. His listeners harassed the families for years.
I’ll believe it when the fascists are no longer running/ruining the US
If Infowars’ brand and property are sold, Jones could still start a new company or work for someone else. But because the bankruptcy judge ruled Jones’ behavior “willful and malicious,” the bankruptcy will not erase Jones’ debt, meaning families can keep claiming any money he makes in the future until he pays the $1.3 billion he owes them.
This makes me happy. (bold is mine)
The onion should already own infowars, and Jones should not still be spewing his shit. I will not be happy until he’s silenced.
Oooo does this mean The Onion will get another crack at owning the name?
Yup.
Legal experts agree, a sale to The Onion is more likely now that Infowars’ fate has shifted to Texas state court.
Every time one of these people - Lindell, Guiliani, Jones, etc - gets sued and whines about the impact it has on them, the world gets a little brighter.
It’s always uplifting when a white nationalist cries.
Knowledge Fight ‘boutta get good again
Man I hope Alex starts drinking on set again. He’s been such a whingey baby since his team has been ‘winning’.
“I’ll be better tomorrow”
He won’t.
It’s been pretty fun recently, tbh. The Iran bombing and Epstein stuff didn’t sit well with him.
He just needs a few more drinks as well.
Fuck good! Stop giving that douche a mic!
Love to see it
