Sounds like a Crisis Actor.
*should
Good riddance...
And?
Imagine if this was all a lie for him to sunset Infowars and return in another format/show/angle
Should have been shut down years ago.
Clock's ticking, dude.
Is it shut down yet?
God don't edge me like that
He's been saying variations of this shit for years. If you listen to the Knowledge Fight podcast there is scarcely a week when he hasn't invoked some schtick about how this could be the last broadcast.
Of course, if this dumpster fire has genuinely stopped paying the bills and the creditors are changing the locks then boo hoo for Jones. I'm sure he'll weave it as a conspiracy but this asshole has had it coming and then some.
Great podcast! I immediately checked to see if they had a new episode after reading this headline, gotta check it out. Thinking the same thing about the fake shutdowns... One of these days he is finally gonna be right tho.
It's not creditors - lawyers from his supplement company were attempting to get a bankruptcy judge to shut down InfoWars' parent company. I don't fully disagree with a lot of assessments saying this is pretty clearly Jones trying to manufacture a crisis to drum up cash (probably to pay the giant settlement he owes in CT). On the other hand, the judge handling his bankruptcy case is expected to make a decision on whether or not Free Speech Systems will continue operating by the end of next week, so Dan and Jordan may have to find someone else to style on for their podcast.
And that's my bright spot.
I know they've talked about who they'll do if Jones really does vanish from the public eye but all disrespect to the man: who could fill his role on their show?
I'm Neo, I'm Leo, I'm Desiax Clarke; I AM THE MYSTERIOUS PROFESSOR
If he says that, it's not true. Easy 100% probability with Alex.
Ain't that a crying shame.
Closing that racist, disinformation and propaganda system down would make the world a better place. He really should have gotten a long prison sentence
Cry me a river
any evidence
Really? Asking Alex Jones for .. evidence, of something, anything? You're kidding, right?
"who is this Evy Dens"?
I'd guess the gay frogs told him.
He's used less credible sources.
I'm sure he's got the documents around here somewhere.
Incidentally, there's a rumor that Alex Jones had to stop broadcasting on short notice because he became suddenly ill on mic. May well be that his ticker is what's quitting on him and not the Feds finally dropping the hammer.
The Sinatra estate probably doesn't approve of this.
I was just going to point out that he probably didn't have licensing rights for the song. Add it to the pile.
Some good news to start off the week!
Don't threaten me with a good time.
Oh no. Wait, I mean "oh yes".
Guys, Alex Jones has stated in a legal disposition that he has experienced psychosis when feeling mental distress.
"And I, myself, have almost had like a form of psychosis back in the past where I basically thought everything was staged, even though I'm now learning a lot of times things aren't staged," Jones said
I've got nothing against people that experience mental health issues and believe that they can make outstanding contributions to society, but maybe we should really consider the nature of their issues. Perhaps, we shouldn't give much validity to a person with a history of psychosis professing conspiracy theories, just like we shouldn't give much validity to a person with social anxiety advocating for the end of social gatherings. Maybe we could focus on their strengths rather than exacerbate and promote their difficulties and related unhealthy accommodations.
Sayonara!
Good.
