Judge Makes Staggering Decision for Alex Jones and Sandy Hook Families

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge overseeing the fight Sandy Hook school shooting victims’ families brought against Infowars founder Alex Jones, over his claims it was faked by the government, has issued a ruling on the liquidation of his personal assets.

The Post Millennial reveals Christopher Lopez, a bankruptcy judge, said those assets will be liquidated to pay down on a massive civil judgment that two juries returned against Jones.

The report said Jones just a week ago had agreed to convert his bankruptcy case to a liquidation, and a ruling was pending on whether Jones’ corporation, Free Speech Systems, also would be liquidated.

The report said Jones’ primary home in Austin would be protected, as well as some other belongings. But the famed broadcaster already has moved to sell his ranch, estimated to be worth $2.8 million, as well as a collection of guns. . .

If the judge determines Free Speech Systems must be liquidated, it would mean Jones losing any control of his company. (Read more from “Judge Makes Staggering Decision for Alex Jones and Sandy Hook Families” HERE)

Alex Jones Applauds Musk for Reinstating Him, Warns the ‘Establishment’ Will ‘Come After Him’

By Daily Caller. Infowars founder Alex Jones applauded billionaire Elon Musk on Sunday for reinstating him to X (formerly Twitter), but gave a sharp warning that “big establishment sponsors” will “come after him.”

Jones was reinstated on the social media platform Saturday night following a Twitter poll asking users if they would want the Infowars founder back on the site. After almost 2 million votes, results showed that 70.1% of responders wanted Jones back on.

The Infowars founder joined his first Twitter space Sunday afternoon to discuss his thoughts on how it feels to be back on the platform since being banned in 2018 for alleged abusive behavior. When asked if he believed that Musk would possibly receive backlash for reinstating him, Jones stated that while it might “monetarily” hurt the platform, Musk is a “rebel.”

“Well, I think you said that yesterday … But he basically said it’s the right thing to do because the principle and it’s also what the majority of the vote said. So this probably will hurt X monetarily but ‘justice be done, may the heavens fall’ basically,” Jones stated. “But at the end of the day, it already has way more traffic and way more people — it’s avant-garde, it’s revolutionary, it’s rebel, it’s Maverick.”

“I’m not kissing [Elon Musk’s] ass, it’s true. And the fact that he could take over Twitter, free it and bring back one of the most demonized people — if not the most demonized in the world, talk about a witch hunt — shows he put his money where his mouth is and is the Maverick’s Maverick.”

Alex Jones Says the CIA Tried to Recruit Him, Claims Obama Is a Fan

/0 Comments/in , /by

During an interview with the Human Events Daily podcast on Sunday, Jones revealed that he had been visited by the CIA when Obama was president.

“In the last two years of Obama’s administration — not bragging,” Jones said, “they sent a high-level CIA guy to meet with me and he said, ‘Listen, Obama likes you, he cares about you. Just stop attacking him. Come on board. Come to us, you know, to New York.'”

Jones also dropped Elon Musk’s name.

“But it’s not about me,” he continued. “You asked the Elon Musk question. I can’t say everything at this point but when you actually get told directly by these people — and I’ll leave it at that — when you directly have dinner with these people — and I’m not going to say Elon Musk, but I’ll just leave it at that — and they tell you to your face, ‘No, we know you’re right.'”

“I’m just like, wow, this is the next level,” Jones remarked. “I’m not getting directives from anybody. I just have had a lot of these high-level people in the last two years reach out. And it started with that meeting two years ago.” (Read more from “Alex Jones Says the CIA Tried to Recruit Him, Claims Obama Is a Fan” HERE)

Sandy Hook Families Seek $2.75 Trillion From Alex Jones

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sandy Hook families asked a Connecticut judge to order Alex Jones to pay $2.75 trillion in damages in addition to the almost $1 billion a jury awarded for defamation, claiming only “the highest possible punitive damages,” will stop the Infowars host from continuing to harm them.

The families said they’re entitled to the amount because Jones broke a state law barring the sale of products using false statements. They reached the sum by multiplying the state law’s $5,000 per-violation fine by the 550 million social media exposures Jones’ audience received on his Facebook, YouTube and Twitter accounts in the three years after a school shooting that claimed the lives of 20 first graders and six educators in 2012.

Jones called family members “crisis actors” for years and said their loved ones weren’t murdered during an elementary school massacre. He denied his statements were defamatory.

“Alex Jones perpetrates this attack for one reason: greed,” the families’ lawyers said in the filing Friday. “Alex Jones will never treat them like real people, because they are too valuable to him as targets.”

State Judge Barbara Bellis will determine the final amount Jones must pay. She has previously said Jones violated the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act, or CUTPA, by selling supplements and survival gear during shows that featured his false claims about Sandy Hook.

Alex Jones Must Pay Sandy Hook Families Nearly $1 Billion Over Hoax Lies

/0 Comments/in , /by

Alex Jones was ordered to pay $965 million to families of victims of the Sandy Hook massacre by a Connecticut jury on Wednesday — in the second defamation ruling against the conspiracy theorist for his claims that the 2012 mass shooting was a hoax.

The far-right Infowars host has repeatedly claimed the shooting was a media fabrication, denying that gunman Adam Lanza slaughtered 26 people at the elementary school and then himself on Dec. 14, 2012. (Read more from “Alex Jones Must Pay Sandy Hook Families Nearly $1 Billion Over Hoax Lies” HERE)

Second Trial Between Alex Jones and Sandy Hook Parents Under Way

/0 Comments/in , /by

A jury in Connecticut will hear arguments today as it determines how much money radio host Alex Jones should pay relatives of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

Last year, in a rare move, Judge Barbara Bellis found Jones liable by default in a defamation lawsuit brought by parents of children killed in the Connecticut shooting over Jones’ statements that the shooting was a hoax. The judge stated Jones had failed to turn over documents that might have shown how he and his company profited from spreading his statements about the school shooting.

The current trial is being held in Waterbury, Connecticut, not far from Newtown, where 26 Sandy Hook Elementary School students and teachers were shot to death in 2012. The trial is expected to last “about a month and feature testimony from both Jones and the families,” reports NPR.

This is the second such trial for Jones, who was ordered by a Texas jury last month to pay over $45 million to Sandy Hook parents. (Read more from “Second Trial Between Alex Jones and Sandy Hook Parents Under Way” HERE)

Alex Jones Ordered to Pay $4.1 Million in Sandy Hook Defamation Trial

/0 Comments/in , /by

Infowars host Alex Jones must pay $4.1 million to the parents of a child killed in the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, a jury ruled Thursday.

Scarlett Lewis and Neil Heslin lost their 6-year-old son, Jesse, in the 2012 massacre after a gunman attacked his school, killing 20 students and six educators. In the aftermath of the attack, Jones spread false claims that the attack was a hoax.

Lewis and Heslin brought legal action against Jones over his conspiracy theorist claims, accusing Jones of defamation. Jones’ attorney, Andino Reynal, argued that Jones had made a “terrible mistake” and asked the jury to fine his client $1.

“He made a terrible mistake,” Reynal told jurors, according to NBC News. “That mistake was weaponized by the same political forces that had descended upon Sandy Hook when it happened.”

Both parents testified during the trial. Heslin said that “the negligence and recklessness of Alex Jones” had made the grieving parent’s life a “living hell.” (Read more from “Alex Jones Ordered to Pay $4.1 Million in Sandy Hook Defamation Trial” HERE)

Alex Jones Realized on the Stand That His Lawyers Accidentally Sent Private Texts to His Opposition

/0 Comments/in , /by

InfoWars host Alex Jones discovered in court Wednesday that his legal counsel, apparently in error, shared his text messages from the last two years with his opposition.

Jones lost his defamation trial in September 2021 for falsely claiming the Sandy Hook school massacre was a hoax. The current trial will determine how much he owes the plaintiffs – families of the murdered students – in restitution.

While under cross-examination, plaintiffs’ attorney Mark Bankston told Jones his cell phone records prove that he lied during a pretrial deposition about not being able to find any text messages about Sandy Hook cases. Jones has made this same claim for years, The New York Times reported.

“Mr. Jones, did you know that 12 days ago your attorneys messed up and sent me an entire digital copy of your entire cell phone with every text message you’ve sent for the past two years?” Bankston rhetorically asked Jones. “And when informed did not take any steps to identify it as privilege or protect it in anyway. And as of two days ago, it fell free and clear into my possession. And that is how I know you lied to me when you said you didn’t have text messages about Sandy Hook. Did you know that?”

‘Infowars’ Alex Jones Arrested on DWI Charge

/1 Comment/in , /by

Prominent right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was arrested early Tuesday morning on charges of driving while intoxicated, according to law enforcement.

Jones, who as host of the Austin-based InfoWars conspiracy theory outlet has become a prominent force on the fringe right, was arrested on a class-B misdemeanor DWI charge, according to a spokeswoman for the Travis County sheriff’s department. Jones was booked into the Travis County Jail in Austin at 12:37 AM, and released on bond at 4:11 AM. . .

But an arrest affidavit filed in court paints a different picture. According to the report, Jones’ wife called the sheriff’s department on Monday night to report a “family disturbance” between her and Jones. Jones’ wife added that he had possibly been drinking, according to the report. . .

On the way to Jones’ home, a sheriff’s deputy saw a car matching the description of Jones’ car and pulled him over. Jones had a “strong odor of alcohol coming from his person,” according to the affidavit, and said he had drank a bottle of Sake earlier that night at dinner. The report describes Jones’ eyes as “water and glassy,” with “constricted pupils,” and adds that the host was “excited, talkative, and carefree.” (Read more from “‘Infowars’ Alex Jones Arrested on DWI Charge” HERE)

Twitter’s Latest (And Final) Punishment for Alex Jones

/0 Comments/in , /by

After weeks of controversy, Twitter officially banned conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and his InfoWars site from its platform. The social media company tweeted out the decision from its Twitter Safety account Thursday afternoon, stating that it permanently suspended Alex Jones and InfoWars after both accounts posted tweets and videos that violated the company’s abusive-behavior policy. Previous violations also contributed to the decision to ban both accounts.

Both accounts show “account suspended” messages, so the tweets and videos that violated Twitter’s policy are no longer available. However, according to a report by The Daily Beast, Twitter confirmed that one of the videos that violated its policy was an InfoWars video posted to Jones’ Twitter account. It showed Jones verbally attacking CNN reporter Oliver Darcy, saying, among other things, “Those are the eyes of a rat.”

Last month, Twitter gave Jones a small punishment for his inflammatory behavior on the platform—a one-week suspension that prevented Jones from tweeting or retweeting from his personal account. That came after users flagged a video that Jones posted to Twitter in which he encouraged his supporters to ready their weapons against the media and other groups.

Twitter’s first punishment was minor compared to the repercussions that Jones and InfoWars faced from other tech companies just days before. YouTube, Facebook, Apple, Spotify, and others had removed content made by Jones and InfoWars from their respective platforms. Facebook followed up by suspending Jones for 30 days, while YouTube terminated his account after it found Jones violated the company’s Community Guidelines.
