In what he described as an “emergency broadcast” on Saturday, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones claimed that his far-right news company, Infowars’, studios in Austin, Texas, might be shut down by federal authorities soon.
“This is going to be Infowars’ last show, because I learned yesterday that they were going to padlock the door and kick us out last night,” Jones said while on Infowars on Saturday.
On the same day, Friday, May 31, the news outlet published an article saying it might be shut down in 48 hours.
Newsweek contacted Infowars by email on Sunday morning for comment and any evidence of the alleged attempt to shut down the company’s studios.
Jones said that he spotted “guards looking at me weird” at the entrance of the Infowars building and believed that his company was going to be shut down.
Basically, the entire studio has been repossessed, has guards around the perimeter.
You can currently find clips of him breaking down and crying on twitter, and the whole broadcast is viewable on rumble, but I don’t have an x account nor am I going to post a rumble link.
He played out the end of the broadcast with, of course, ‘My Way’ by Sinatra.
Good.
If it actually happens this time. Bonus points for putting this idiot in a safe place without network access.
He described it as an “emergency broadcast”. Translation - send money morons, lots of it
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
Couldn’t happen to a better person. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was lying to drum up donations though.
Exactly what I thought. Sounds like bullshit to fundraise.

Welcome to Alex Jones’ entire life.
Yet another victim of the liberal conspiracy called “consequences.”
What’s their saying? FAFO?
-
It’s clearly fake crying
-
It’s probably just a donation push.
It could be happening, but when the only source of something is Alex Jones, there’s not a reputable source for it
I’m not going to Google it. If it’s fake, he wants that. Fuck em.

Insert oh no! Anyway meme
For anyone confused about the MAGA-ese: Failure to make payments under Bankruptcy and repo man coming for what’s due = federal government repressing muh rights
It’s embarrassing how, if you say the magic words, the MAGA brain shuts down and just becomes compliant with anything.
It’s the Deep State!!
I did a quick search and he’s definitely looking for donations to help pay his bills. The bankruptcy won’t protect him from the Sandy Hook judgment so he’s still on the hook for the billion and a half.
Of course Cro-Magnon Taylor Greene Xitted her support for him.

That is an insult to all vertebrates, let alone hominids!

I like Margo Bargo getting roasted as much as anyone. But twelve pages of people desperately trying to cash in? The shirts are just someone’s quote in different fonts.
This made the rounds yesterday, but the only source was Jones himself, and nothing appears to have happened. So, yeah, probably just drumming up cash from the rubes.
He’s been a week away from shutting down for… a dozen years?
I wonder how his listeners can keep hearing this same message for years?

Try to understand stupidity at the infinity level
Like rabid goldfish
Like toast in the rain
like drunken dogs
in rage without reasonThink of how many times you can trick a dog that trusts you before it starts to figure things out, and consider that Jones’ audience is more loyal and less intelligent than a typical dog.
Reminds me of the mattress store down the street that is always running a going out of business sale.
No no no, you misunderstood. The mattresses are going out of (the) business, because they were for sale. Going out of business, sale!
Oh, shouldn’t have that bar association logo on here either…
I lived near a furniture store for about 8 years and it was “going out of business” the whole time.
We got a good deal on a sofa from them though.
Like a rug shop.
Imagine being stupid enough to give this guy money.
I think it is important to try to understand those who you don’t agree with, but I really can’t understand giving him hard earned cash.
Oh please do!
Jones said that he spotted “guards looking at me weird” at the entrance of the Infowars building
How does that make any sense? Why would his guards know anything he didn’t?
Because the water is making the guards gay now too
Gay water for Pride Month.
Because he knows that he is not sharing his drugs
Hours?! Oh man, I hate waiting!
And nothing of value was lost.
Neat
