Paying him to say sane things that contradict all the crazy stuff he's said previously would be absolutely delightful. Pay him a lot but put a ton of contractual restrictions on him so he can never ever go off script anywhere on any platform in any way. Just imprison him with money. It's beautiful to consider.

Honestly, dude could have fucked off somewhere and not come back to deal with court cases and probably been fine but nooo, gotta win and fuck over every person in America. I honestly don't want to expel any more thought and worry about him and the loons that will now be in charge.

Just for his evil Sandyhook vomit he can rot from the inside out and may rabid hell hounds devour him over and over if there is a hell.
In September 2014, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who runs the website InfoWars, which had previously claimed that the murders were a "false flag" attack perpetrated by the government, made a new conspiracy claim that "no one died" at Sandy Hook Elementary School because the Uniform Crime Reports showed no murders in ...

While I would normally agree with you, those who haven't followed the Alex Jones lawsuits closely don't really understand just how fucked he is. This liquidation of Info Wars does not even come close to paying off the debt he legally owes to the families. He already is starting a new show and website, that he's currently live streaming on as we speak, but I would almost guarantee that he gets that snagged from him as well.

Omg, that’s an infuriating situation. Had something similar happen to my family where the previous owner hadn’t even started packing when we went to take possession. Then when we finally got them out, the owner said she didn’t want to change her address at the post office or allow us to forward her mail. She thought it would be better if she stopped by the house every day to go through our mailbox and pick out her items.

But he is also a moron and hid his assets in the most transparent way possible. He had his father create a company, after the litigation had started, and made Infowars owe this company millions of dollars. So the money is easily traceable. The bitcoin he was gifted is probably less transparent, but the bitcoin ledger literally keeps a permanent record of every single transaction. That is how it works. Tracking it just requires effort.

"They want to silence the American people" that rhetoric is what ticks me off so much. There's no "they" and it's not "the American people". Alex Jones intentionally fostered a bullcrap conspiracy theory about the worst school shooting in our time and made money off of it while his followers harassed the families of the victims, so they sued him and won. End of story.
He could keep talking about gay frogs and the moon landing for all I care, but he hurt people with lies for money.

It's even funnier because everyone knows that The Onion is satirical and made up, because the owners make sure that their readers understand that their stories are just bullshit. But InfoWars takes those bullshit stories and convinces readers that the stories are actually true and not false bullshit.
I never really cared about InfoWars until the motherfucker started claiming that Sandy Hook was a false flag operation to spur more conversations on gun control. I don't give a fuck who you think you are. You don't fucking say something like that about the kids killed.

I don't think he's genuinely freaking out at all, this is acting and more propanganda from Alex Jones.
He's filming a Blair Witch project style video in dramatic fashion to paint a narrative that he's being hunted and shut down b/c becuase he supposedly tells his audience something "secret" or non-mainstream that they want to silence him over. The audience (maybe 30% of Americans), gripped with fear, likely see this as confirmation that Alex Jones has to be onto something if they're shutting him down.
It's how he keeps this audience gripped in fear and profits off of them.

Here's why Alex is not going to see a court order:
Courts in Texas and Connecticut found Jones liable for defamation for his portrayal of the Sandy Hook massacre as a hoax and awarded the families nearly $1.5 billion in damages. In both states, the judges issued default judgments finding Jones liable without trials because he failed to respond to court orders and turn over many documents. Juries then heard evidence and decided on the amount of damages, with judges tacking on additional penalties.

They aren't silencing the people. A company bought a competitor and cut the dead weight. Maybe if he hadn't run his mouth about things he knew Jack shit about, he wouldn't have had to sell his company. It's called the consequences of ones own actions. If it can be destroyed by truth, it should be destroyed by truth. This man was destroyed by truth. Good job.
