      Another comment also answered, but he has moved to “The Alex Jones Network” owned by Bigly. It’s a bullshit move that pulled a lot of assets out of the bankruptcy.

    Alex Jones: It’s a lie! I’m still in control of the studio!

    Studio locked. Lights out. Alex isn’t in control anymore.

    He’s not going anywhere. He stalled the process for so long he already moved a lot of his money and audience to a different platform he doesn’t own.

      Loosing the brand is a big deal. But not as big of a deal as being de-platformed. Alex’s troupe is a ghost compared to what Info Wars was in 2015.

      What Alex has accomplished is dragging this out until a time when right-wing media is in decline nationally. Yea, Alex is still around, the same way Blockbuster has a store or two.

      He might have moved on but he’s not his own boss anymore and he’s fallen off enough I doubt he’s biggly’s top talent so there’s no way he is ever satisfied being where he is forced to do a show he has come to hate and be a bootlicker for trump no matter how much trump attacks him

        Jailing people for debt is a terrible idea. Just garnish his pay and seize his assets.

            The problem is that he hid most of his assets and is trying to pretend to the court that he is broke

            Yeah, that is not the end of him nor his money.

            They just let him put everything into his new business and I would not be shocked if he will see some of the money the onion has to pay for infowars now.

        I had to Google it, and if you want to be pedantic, it was technically 13 years and 5 months ago. Definitely horrific it’s been so long either way.

      He hasn’t seen consequences. A ruling against you means nothing if it’s not enforced. And there have been no legal consequences either for the blatantly highly illegal stuff that was found when he accidentally cloned his phone and handed it over to the prosecution
