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.
Exactly what I thought. Sounds like bullshit to fundraise.
Sounds like bullshit to fundraise.
Welcome to Alex Jones’ entire life.
I hope he bleeds his supporters dry, and then all this money goes to the victims awaiting the dissolution of his assets to pay his lawsuit.
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…
Like rabid goldfish
Like toast in the rain
like drunken dogs
in rage without reason
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.

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.

I heard it’s because they have a child sex ring they’re running out of the basement there.
I have also heard this. From many different people.
Not only have people, many people, told me this, but also that they are also harvesting the blood of the children.
That’s what I’m hearing. People are saying.
Would actually make so much sense. He’s obsessed with paedophiles.
Thanks, now I’m craving pizza.
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
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.
Cro-Magnon Taylor Greene
That is an insult to all vertebrates, let alone hominids!
It’s the Deep State!!
Yet another victim of the liberal conspiracy called “consequences.”
What’s their saying? FAFO?
It’s worth noting that almost every episode he broadcasts contains “emergency broadcast”. And he’s made claims that he’s about to be arrested/assassinated/disappeared/shut down for well over 20 years at this point.
Looking forward to the next ep of KnowledgeFight, though.
EDIT: Sweet, new ep or KF is out!
EDIT 2: Hoboy, this is a wild one. Even those who normally don’t listen to Knowledge Fight should check this one out (episode #930).
Yeah he does an emergency broadcast at least once a fuckin month. Just like Trump raised over 38 mil after his convictions. It’s all a con job. To take a page from Knowledge Fight, the media really needs to learn how to cover ol’ AJ.
I imagine a permanent police siren sound in the background for the extra tension!
But instead the media behaves like nothing was learned during the 2016 campaign. Who would’ve thunk: Clicks, ratings, Oxford comma, and ad revenue are all more important than ethical and non-destructive coverage. And I only agree with one of those.
Gotta love a 3.5+ hr podcast. Sounds like the time the Some More News folks did a “brief” look at Jordan Peterson for 3 hours. Good thing I commute 2 hrs a day and listen at 2.5 speed.
I don’t really understand how channels like these crank out so much content. I wrote a lot of essays in college but I think producing 20000 words every week would just about kill me.
3.5+ hr podcast
The trick to brainwashing is repetition and attention capture.
Knowledge Fight thoroughly breaks down Alex Jones’ arguments, he says a lot of bullshit so it takes a lot of time. Also they’re comedians and it’s pretty entertaining.
Literally the reason the episodes are so long is because of the constant stream of bullshit Alex Jones spews.
Ohh, I’m so out of the loop I thought knowledge fight was the title of Alex Jones podcast and was wondering what strange corner of Lemmy I stumbled into.
That’s Info Wars, that’s a fair thing to think if you don’t watch Alex Jones much, the title of the Knowledge Fight podcast was intentionally chosen to parody it
“There’s a 50 percent chance this is happening right now.”
So zero percent then… got it…
Shut up and pay up.
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
Gay water for Pride Month.
Oh no… but anyways. Anyone got anything interesting happening this week?
Hey, good news is news too!
I thought Alex Jones was the choirboy who sang “Walking in the air”
As much as I want it to be true, I don’t believe a word out of Alex Jones’ mouth, even if it’s good news.
