→ Is this the end of Infowars?
The Deep State’s conviction of Trump has cleared the path to go after the real target: Alex Jones — or so he claims.
“The button’s been pushed after Trump was convicted last Thursday. It started the next day,” Jones said, referring to a request from the families of Sandy Hook victims to liquidate his media company as part of a proposed bankruptcy settlement. Even the two-week delay on liquidating Jones’ business was the result of an hours-long meltdown he had over livestream last weekend, in which he cried and said “There’s really no avenue out of this.”

Jones was ordered to pay about $1 billion in damages to the families who lost children in the 2012 killings after he claimed the shooting had been a hoax, and the negotiations to settle that to a smaller sum in the tens of millions have so far been unsuccessful. Is this the end of Infowars?
→ Nigel Farage is the real Slim Shady
Is Nigel Farage turning into Gen Z’s favourite politician? The new Reform leader, who will fight for the Clacton seat in the election, posted a fancam election announcement video with Eminem’s “Without Me” playing in the background, followed by an X post titled “Guess who’s back?”

This “down with the kids” look may seem rather forced, but on TikTok, it’s paying dividends. On a recent video, the former Ukip leader racked up an astonishing 1.6 million views and almost 200,000 likes on a recent post, titled “Lovely Melons!”
It’s worth noting that on TikTok, Farage is the most followed politician in the UK. Maybe after politics he should think about becoming an influencer…
→ Maher-stradamus issues damning Biden warning
Joe Biden is going to lose his reelection race in November — or so says Bill Maher, a longtime Trump critic.
“I would vote for [Biden’s] head in a jar of blue liquid over Donald Trump,” he told his guest, Left-wing journalist Kara Swisher. “I think it’s a moot point at this point, he’s gonna fucking lose.”

Maher has become something of a heterodox voice within the American Left in recent years, doing interviews with Right-of-centre figures such as Megyn Kelly and critiquing wokeness.

SubscribeAlex Jones is the perfect avatar for the MAGA crowd. A fat moronic loudmouth loser who wouldn’t know the truth if it hit him in the face. Ironically, the truth has hit him square in his horrendously ugly mug and he doesn’t seem too happy about it.
Yeah, baby, bring it on 😀 That’s what Internet is for
Funnily enough, that’s what I imagine you to look like.
Just one of the many many things that you are completely wrong about, sweetie!
Proof?
You want a picture? You’re not alone there, diddums, but I’m afraid I can’t oblige you at this time.
I want to believe that CS is a satire account. I want to, but I don’t. Oof!
Yeah but with a name like Julian at least us freedom thinkers could take you weak liberal pansies! I bet your physically weak as you are mentally. I fought for this country why probably sat back cowering like a coward. You sound like weakness.
“A fat moronic loudmouth loser who wouldn’t know the truth if it hit him in the face.” <– And I know that’s what you and Jones both are.
Alex Jones, Nigel Farage and Bill Maher: the definition of a slow news day.
Alex Jones is a liar and fabricator. How would anyone give him any credence after Sandy Hook is beyond me. But he continues to get invited as guest on tv shows, his website is still linked on aggregators. Now, in typical American fashion, he may finally be sued out of existence (I mean, in the public sphere).
Well lets hope when you all do something wrong or think the wrong way we shut you down and cancel your business. If you dont like him ignore him, youre weak groupthink mentality is crazy. Freedom of speech is critical to society, he did wrong, but so has every politician and media outlet. What about tony blair and iraq? You people are small minded and do not believe in societal freedoms, we should cancel your wifi!
Perhaps a little critical reading would come handy, no? Alex Jones had the right to lie and fabricate. You have the right, I have the right. That is not the point. Alex Jones had the right to believe that SH was a government psyops operation with paid actors. The government had no right to stop him from disseminating that belief (1st Am.) and it did not do it. His freedom of speech has never been impinged upon. He had the right to say whatever he wanted to say but he had the, let’s say professional, duty as a news person, to verify his statements. Obviously he failed to do that. He lied, and the lie was about a highly tragic event, ergo it was disgusting, and nobody should be surprised by the fact that it created a giant blowback by those who were affected. Who, of course, had their own freedom of speech ( and they used it for suing).
You are right, politicians lie all the time, and some get away with murder, occasionally not just metaphorically. If there is one thing that can be said in their defense, is that they lie in the duty of being a politician. The joke is on you if you believe them.
“Well lets hope when you all do something wrong” <– Doing something wrong in this case managed to be criminal libel and slander, where Jones fraudulently and with utter disregard for the truth or damage he might do, lied on purpose about innocent victims for money and then failed to comply with valid court orders as to the discovery of evidence, resulting in a default judgement against him. Good.
There is no societal freedom to deliberately, uncaringly tell lies which hurt people, and should not be.
