In what he described as an “emergency broadcast” on Saturday, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones claimed that his far-right news company, Infowars’, studios in Austin, Texas, might be shut down by federal authorities soon.
“This is going to be Infowars’ last show, because I learned yesterday that they were going to padlock the door and kick us out last night,” Jones said while on Infowars on Saturday.
On the same day, Friday, May 31, the news outlet published an article saying it might be shut down in 48 hours.
Newsweek contacted Infowars by email on Sunday morning for comment and any evidence of the alleged attempt to shut down the company’s studios.
Jones said that he spotted “guards looking at me weird” at the entrance of the Infowars building and believed that his company was going to be shut down.
Basically, the entire studio has been repossessed, has guards around the perimeter.
You can currently find clips of him breaking down and crying on twitter, and the whole broadcast is viewable on rumble, but I don’t have an x account nor am I going to post a rumble link.
He played out the end of the broadcast with, of course, ‘My Way’ by Sinatra.
The trick to brainwashing is repetition and attention capture.
Knowledge Fight thoroughly breaks down Alex Jones’ arguments, he says a lot of bullshit so it takes a lot of time. Also they’re comedians and it’s pretty entertaining.
Literally the reason the episodes are so long is because of the constant stream of bullshit Alex Jones spews.
Ohh, I’m so out of the loop I thought knowledge fight was the title of Alex Jones podcast and was wondering what strange corner of Lemmy I stumbled into.
That’s Info Wars, that’s a fair thing to think if you don’t watch Alex Jones much, the title of the Knowledge Fight podcast was intentionally chosen to parody it
