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.
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?
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 rabid goldfish
Like toast in the rain
like drunken dogs
in rage without reason
Think 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.
Try to understand stupidity at the infinity level
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.
