$1.5 billion judgement for exercising his First Amendment rights. If they can bankrupt and destroy him, imagine how easily they could destroy TBP and silence me.
The outspoken American pundit will have to sell his platform to cover a $1.5 billion defamation judgment
Right-wing commentator Alex Jones has agreed to liquidate his assets in a bid to pay a court-imposed fine of $1.5 billion. Among Jones’ assets is the parent company of InfoWars, a platform used by the shock-jock to broadcast news, views, and conspiracy theories for more than two decades.
Jones filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2022, after a Connecticut judge ordered him to pay the families of the Sandy Hook massacre victims $1.5 billion in damages. Jones had claimed on air that the mass shooting – in which a gunman killed 20 elementary school children and six adults – was staged by the US government in a plot to usher in draconian gun control laws.
In filings made to a Texas bankruptcy court on Thursday, Jones’ lawyers requested that the Chapter 11 bankruptcy be converted into a Chapter 7 liquidation, as “there is no reasonable prospect of a successful reorganization” of his debts.
According to court documents, Jones’ assets will not be enough to cover the $1.5 billion fine. However, the Sandy Hook families agreed last year that Jones could liquidate his holdings in order to pay a minimum of $85 million over the next 10 years.
In a motion filed earlier this week, the families stated that they want Jones to liquidate Free Speech Systems LLC, the parent company of the InfoWars platform, which has also sought bankruptcy protection. Jones founded InfoWars in 1999, and by 2017, the website was receiving around 10 million monthly visits – eclipsing many mainstream news sites.
In his nightly broadcasts on InfoWars, Jones has launched tirades against Democrats, liberals, globalist politicians and NGOs, international financiers, and anyone else he accuses of helping usher in the ‘New World Order’ – a tyrannical system of global governance predicted by American conspiracy theorists since the 1980s.
In an interview with Jones earlier this year, American journalist Tucker Carlson noted that many of the Texan firebrand’s predictions – that the World Trade Center would be destroyed in 2001, that the federal government would introduce mask mandates during the Covid-19 pandemic, and that “a giant war” would break out in Ukraine in February 2022 – came true.
Speaking on InfoWars last weekend, Jones claimed that the American “deep state” had orchestrated the legal campaign against him, adding that he was “out of options.” On Friday’s broadcast, Jones said that InfoWars would likely close down within several weeks, but that he may “relaunch” under a different brand.

Jones sold out…is the only explanation that makes any sense to me.
Sandy Hook was a total fabrication, easily proven to be a FF operation.
There are literally hundreds of inconsistencies in the Sandy Hook story which make it an impossible story as told by the Govt.
Jones is a limited hangout CIA asset.
His lawsuit and conviction were part of the Sandy Hook blackwash of white male students.
Fuck Alex Jones fucking CIA mouthpiece.
You don’t know! I’ve seen no proof of your allegations. These types of statements are made against any Conservative that stands up and calls out the game…I’m beginning to smell Fedbots…some of you guys that shit post as a testament to your purity will not be welcome in my circles when the lights go out. Stock up, arm up…and STFU.
You don’t know! I’ve seen no proof of your allegations. These types of statements are made against any ….
Blah blah blah.
Amonymooz…
Keep up your time magazine subscription CNN fan-boi!
Thanks puppet…you made my point for me…you glowfags are like locusts, everywhere these days.
Thanks puppet…you made my point for me…you glowfags are like locusts, everywhere these days.
Here’s allegory for Dr Anonymouse trying to figure out that which is true or false:
Pffffft!
That’s all you got…a pathetic cartoon to make your point? You really need to talk to adults more…
1.5 BILLION DOLLAR SELLOUT??? WHAT HAPPENED THERE SPARKY YOU GET SOME BAD WEED OR SOMETHIN COMING UP WITH A STATEMENT LIKE THAT.
Do you mean “sold out” as in he switched sides, or “he took the money” ? Or both?
Selling off a business is a lot different than selling out your professed ideology.
I see these people running around screaming about the Deep State wanting them dead…but they just keep on livin! It’s enough to give me pause.
His “business” belongs to the CIA.
Always has.
Tedious linguistic technicality, Screwy Centralizer. You of all people should understand the Christcuck universal standard as a reference point for all people. To not be with the universal good is to ‘sell out’. I gotta hand it to ya Christcucks and your ‘perspectives’.
See if a jury believes that. Alex Jones found out.
Maybe…
Yes anyone who fell for sandy hook is an absolute moron.
I lived in CT at the time of Sandy Hook and personally knew two people who lived in Sandy Hook and who took time off from work to attend the funerals of first graders killed by Adam Lanza. So fuck you lying fucks who say it was an obvious false flag…..yes there were some odd things but Adam killed those kids, the teacher etc. Alex shot his mouth off and let that crazy person (Wolfgang Halbig) talk about school security……and it was obscene. I dropped Alex right then. Now…..while I know the event actually happened and kids did actually die I ALSO think Alex has the right to be well wrong….and violently disagree with the judgement against him. So what if the parents feelings were hurt,….don’t listen to Infowars. I don’t think Alex is a Hal Turner (Fed informer) but he does hold back on certain things and does a piss poor job of documenting his claims (though not as weak as SOTU).
Fuck you loser you’re full of shit. The school was closed prior to the staged event. Are you a shill or a liar?
You know Robbie Parker? The laughing crisis actor who didn’t know the cameras were rolling when he came out laughing then immediately got into character showing ridiculous fake acting discussing his “dead daughter ” who supposedly died the day previously. Yet he’s right there smiling and laughing. Fuck you shill.
Wow, you knew some of the dot gov crisis actors?
Sweet.

Sandy hook was the name of the school not the town you moron! You lived in Sandy hook?? Get lost loser.
I do wake up some mornings and wonder if TBP will load. Then I wonder why they let the site stick around, ha.
But more generally, Jones made a stupid mistake, either intentionally choosing a poor strategy or losing his cool and acting emotionally rather than strategically. You don’t assault an adversary on the terrain of the adversary’s choosing unless you’ve got a plan. Otherwise you end up like the Imperial Japanese Navy, essentially destroyed by the Americans within about six months after Pearl Harbor. School shootings, and university protests, and middle east conflict, and Ukraine, and a bunch of other stuff are traps designed to get people to compromise their principles and/or say stupid stuff.
If you’re going to directly call out the assault on Constitutional governance, you better have a strategy to deal with the legal and PR domains on the turf of our occupiers or you’re toast. The whole point of sympathetic victims is to put them on TV and in courtrooms.
He’s not their adversary, he is their accomplice. All part of the show.
Like conservative talk shows, we can only vent fecklessly. Your implication may be overstating it a tad. True that TBP is not a salient concern one way or another.
I think that’s part of why it’s important to identify bad strategy and not be rushed or coerced into taking sides on various topics.
Good-faith efforts that go awry and intentional shenanigans are generally indistinguishable without inside information and/or passage of significant time. The results are all that those of us on the outside can rely upon.
Personally, I’m more interested in the unintended consequences than deciphering who exactly is playing what role. For me what is interesting about the past few years is 1A and 2A stuff has morphed dramatically from libs vs. cons to all central planners vs. everybody else. We’re peeling back the layers as we approach whatever resolution lies ahead. I don’t think the central planners are as in control as they wish they were (but I’m one of the optimists – that’s my bias).
A few analytical principles regardless of whether Jones is a flawed martyr, CIA asset, Martian spy, or whatever:
-speech is either a right or a privilege
-rule of law either exists or it doesn’t
-you either have evidence others can test themselves or you don’t
Fake and gay.
Alex J9nnes is CIA.
Always has been.
His entire schtick and this entire phony convictin are theatrical events designed to cause people to fear speaking freely.
If anyone died at a school that had been closed for years?
It could only have been a crisis actor choking at craft services.
I think.
Craft services….
Someone has been on a set.
This is why everyone needs to own physical gold and silver. It can’t be touched when nobody knows you have it. You can liquidate when needed in any coin shop in the U.S. anonymously and tax-free if done in less than $10,000 increments.
So even if he was a spook,government funded,……maybe a setup to get knocked down later to make it appear as if the “law”is doing something!!…….my point being even if it was,he was convicted of SPEECH…..nothing more!….IDGAF how horrible his speech was,what harm supposedly existed was emotional….what they did to Alex was personal and debilitating!…
The 1A has been destroyed and everybody here seems to be cheering……..wtf?!?….
PS…….while the government may have the right to convict you of a crime,they possess NO RIGHT to hobble you and leave you a beggar in the streets!!…….
Sorry J Taopi……..not replying to you,hit the wrong button……..more coffee……
The government has outlawed owning gold before, they can do it again.
They can, but far more people will still hold onto their PMs compared to the 1930s – it won’t be as effective.
The entire globe is much more centralized. Hence, controlled. The fake flu essentially demonstrated that. What exactly do you think you are going to do with your gold and silver?
They can take your golf or silver as easily as they can take your guns.
IOW, over my dead fucking body. Mine WON’T be the only one! Whoever comes for me, comes WITH me.
A crisis actor choking at craft services?
Brilliant!
I watched videos of a guy trying to do it. good luck and bring some lube.
Jim Quinn didn’t kill himself.
A pothole in 30 Blocks of Squalor did.
#BanAssaultPotholes
#ban high capacity pothole magazines!
I already canceled my subscription.
The Lord God protect Jim Quinn, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Along with all of us true believers.
I like to do just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet
But guarding fumes and making haste
It ain’t my cup of meat
Ev’rybody’s ’neath the trees
Feeding pigeons on a limb
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here
All the pigeons gonna run to him
Come all without, come all within
You’ll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn
People really need to realize we don’t have a constitution or checks and balances anymore.
Some like to scream about rights and so forth, but the fact is the government will do whatever they feel like to you and there’s nothing stopping them. We only have the rights the government allows us to have currently, the covid nonsense gave us a taste of that and we’re seeing it now with the unconstitutional law fare being conducted.
“Jones had claimed on air that the mass shooting – in which a gunman killed 20 elementary school children and six adults – was staged by the US government in a plot to usher in draconian gun control laws.”
This, to me, is proof positive that RT is just another MSM outlet.
I’m not sure what this is all about, but I do know that it is some sort of psyop. For the last 5-6 years, at least, Jones has been dutifully serving the NWO agenda, so they are not about to silence him. When Jones started out he was fantastic. Other than the fact that he bent over backwards to avoid criticizing Israel or Jews (which possibly means he was controlled opposition from the very beginning), he was 100% right about nearly everything. But now he is a Trump sycophant, and also shills for Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, and Tucker Carlson, all of whom are controlled opposition. He is definitely smart enough to realize that. So for some reason (blackmail, bribery, or some other reason) he sold out. It is likely that this absurd Sandy Hook judgement against him is to help set the precedent that people can be sued and deplatformed for exercising their 1st Amendment free speech right. Regardless of whether or not Sandy Hook was a hoax, he had the right to say that he thought it was. But he is playing right along with the psyop.
They push, they back off a little, they push more, they back off a little, always gaining ground. The trick is to not push all at once or too much at a time and always back off a bit in between to give your victims a little hope before you push again in order to not create significant backlash.
The proverbial frog in the slowly heating pot of water.
Eventually it will reach a boil.
Will you be in or out of the pot when it does?
They? You mean the Jews, they control everything.
The Is-it-reallians are a golem just like the christonsillyans and the moo-see-laymans..
Didn’t anyone tell you never to go full retard…I think I hear your mom calling you to come upstairs now…
Ah I picked up some anonyshit on my shoes.
Hmm, looks like the anonyshit of a pedantic lover of dotgov approved lowfi hyperbole and platitudes.
Or anonyshitmouth could be some other low level Langley retarded agent.
Wow, make my point, you can’t even make a sentence without an ad hominem attack …you’re just pathetic. If I hear of an opening for a keyboard warrior I’ll be sure to submit your name…it’s Fluffer…right?
TOTAL VIOLATION OF THE 1ST AND 8TH AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSITUTION.

Cui bono? I believe AJ is controlled opposition, and Tucker. Jones is divorced from a jooess. He knows so much and yet knows nothing of the special somethings.
(((Scarlett Johansson))) wins litigation money ‘against’ Disney:
Cui bono? Jones gets to retire. He’s been at this a very long time. He has a cult following and his name is the brand. Will Jone be penniless? No. He done good for his team. Who gets all the liquidation money? His team, the JWO one way or another.
So what? That has been true for a long, long time. They destroy someone all the time. Ruby Ridge was in 1992. They guy who shoots dead an innocent man’s wife while she is holding their child get a kushy government retirement and we pay for it.
It’s just not a depression until it’s you. Gray man in the middle is a sound strategy, but how does one survive in the enemy matrix? This is a culture genocide, police state kill zone. Blogging will not change that. You want to got yours until you die of natural causes. I give you a 60% change of success, but it won’t help your children. I don’t got mine, so I am ready to see this puppy drop. The longer the JWO builds with property rights over my heritage and life, the more expensive the cure for me becomes. Christcucks do not nip things in the bud except problem people like me. Us rationals are so dangerous to herd feelings ‘n’ sheet.
Christianity, the propaganda from jooz, is staunchly opposed to what was needed decades ago.
The subliminal message by pattern reinforcement is clear. Don’t fuck with the orthodox narrative or pay the price. Been true a long time. That does not make Trump or Jones are guys. Men who smugly caution other men to never hit a woman or take the law into their own hands are domesticated pests. Nature is clear on treatment options. The case can be made even with your stupid bibles. Num. 31, dumbfucks.
Jeez, the crazies are out in force today!
Jeez as in Jesus?
Jones is a character actor employed by Time Warner. This is a fact. He went along with the fake sandy hoax event and fake trial. The trial was absolutely ridiculously fake to anyone with basic common sense. He is one of them same as Trump, a bad actor.
Nobody died at Sandy Hook.
Or Vegas, or Miami, or . . .
Sandy Hook was a Mass Shooting Highschool dropout.
It was. He exposed it. Court punished him for exposing it.
Alex Jones doesn’t actually exist.
His voice and likeness are simply a computer generated illusion, created by an israeli think tank using alien technology recovered from an ancient pyramid under Tel Aviv.
/s(illy)
He’s actually a crisis actor, hired out of college by the CIA, just as the USSR collapsed. His real name is Stanley Stein-Baum, born in 1970 in Leningrad. He was a trained disinformation agent who came out of the Lenin Military-Political Academy in Moscow.
/this might not be entirely accurate, either
Fuck you! Alex at the time had an opinion, with relative facts, that a lot of people had, and still do, that these types of shootings are CIA<<FBI rigged. Where’s the crime in expressing concern for that possibility?
There are worse things than being bankrupted by a corrupt legal system. Communists need to remember that.
I’m just amazed anyone here listens to a word he says.
