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.

Welcome to Alex Jones' entire life.

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...

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 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.
Would actually make so much sense. He's obsessed with paedophiles.
Thanks, now I'm craving pizza.
Realistically they are losing the lease on the building they rent and some mediocre recording equipment, maybe some dumb neon signs. He could run his shitty podcast from his bedroom if he wanted to. He's whining like they are forcing him into silence, but this won't even cover the teeniest fraction of what he owes the people whose lives he tried to destroy. Fuck him. Way harder.
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.

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.

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.

He described it as an “emergency broadcast”. Translation - send money morons, lots of it
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.

Shut up and pay up.
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?

God don't edge me like that
any evidence
Really? Asking Alex Jones for .. evidence, of something, anything? You're kidding, right?

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.
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.
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.

God how I hope it's true. I hope they take his cars, they take his home, literally everything this man owns. He deserves it. He knew exactly what the fuck he was doing, and now the feds have come to collect. He had plenty of chances, hundreds of chances to prevent this.

Good riddance...
Should add the word 'allegedly' everywhere. After seeing Trump's alleged campaign haul after conviction it'd probably be hard for this clown not to try to pull his follower's strings for a quick buck
Imagine if this was all a lie for him to sunset Infowars and return in another format/show/angle
He has made this claim in the past. It’s just another grift.
