US EditionDefiant Alex Jones Makes Startling Vow in Final InfoWars Broadcast: ‘The Real War Begins Now’
A court-appointed receiver stopped paying rent and utilities, and Jones said he will keep selling products and broadcasting on other platforms.
- On Thursday, Alex Jones signed off from Infowars for the final time after 27 years of broadcasting as a court-appointed receiver shut down the studio by stopping rent and utility payments. The website went dark at midnight.
- The shutdown stems from roughly $1 billion in court-ordered damages awarded to Sandy Hook Elementary families after Jones falsely claimed the 2012 shooting, which killed 20 children and six adults, was "staged."
- Texas courts paused a potential licensing deal with The Onion that would have allowed the satirical outlet to lease Infowars' brand for $81,000 monthly. A judge previously ruled the network's assets must be sold to satisfy Sandy Hook families' damages.
- Despite losing his studio, Jones confirmed he will continue broadcasting via the "Alex Jones Show" on satellite, radio, and digital platforms. He stated "the real war begins now" as he transitions to alternative outlets.
- Infowars' collapse establishes a legal precedent for holding media platforms accountable for spreading demonstrably false, harmful claims. Families testified about the trauma caused by the network's campaigns, which generated millions in revenue through supplements and survival gear.
