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.
Couldn’t happen to a better person. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was lying to drum up donations though.
-
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.

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.
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.
It’s the Deep State!!
Yet another victim of the liberal conspiracy called “consequences.”
What’s their saying? FAFO?
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.
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
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.
He described it as an “emergency broadcast”. Translation - send money morons, lots of it
Some good news to start off the week!
“There’s a 50 percent chance this is happening right now.”
So zero percent then… got it…
Shut up and pay up.
Good.
If it actually happens this time. Bonus points for putting this idiot in a safe place without network access.
God don’t edge me like that
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.
Insert oh no! Anyway meme
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 he knows that he is not sharing his drugs
Because the water is making the guards gay now too
He’s been “foreseeing” this for a year now at least. He can’t keep his stupid little show going because no one is buying his tactical toilets or whatever and he’s gonna blame it on the same old boogey man.
Foreskin you mean?
