VICTORIA, Texas (AP) — Infowars filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as the website’s founder and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones faces defamation lawsuits over his comments that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax.
The bankruptcy filing Sunday in Texas puts civil litigation on hold while the business reorganizes its finances.
In its court filing, Infowars said it had estimated assets of $50,000 or less and estimated liabilities of $1 million to $10 million. Creditors listed in the bankruptcy filing include relatives of some of the 20 children and six educators killed in the 2012 school massacre in Connecticut.
The plaintiffs in that case have said they have been subjected to harassment and death threats from Jones’ followers because of the hoax conspiracy that Jones promoted. Jones has since conceded the shooting did happen. The families have already won defamation lawsuits against Jones.
Another newly filed lawsuit accuses Jones of hiding millions of dollars in assets, but an attorney for Jones has called that allegation “ridiculous.”

I think Alex often goes a bit overboard but he is completely right about Sandy Hoax.
He was just expressing an opinion.
Fly too close to the sun and you get burned. Bye bye Alex.
That’s your take-way from Copernicus, retard? FFS
Like you and me, Jones is right when he is right and wrong when he’s wrong. Any fool who thinks that it’s a good thing to stifle free speech and levee state sponsored penalties for words spoken, have already excepted their chains. I can’t think of a single politician that has not used speech for destructive purpose with intent to do so with no penalty. This should outrage every American regardless of your slant. I have one master, and His burden is lite.. When free speech becomes selective based on class or status then pack your things while you can, get on your knees, and serve your master, because the walls are coming down around you.
Oh, and by the way, I’m going to go watch the Alex Jones show and by some voodoo elixir’s, in protest and support.
I suggest X2, Winter Sun and Ultra 12- All Good Stuff!
Sandy Hook Hoax stinks worse than sardines left in the sun for a week.
The school had been closed for 3 years prior to “the massacre”.
ZERO, internet traffic at the school for 3 years prior. Nada, zip, zilch…
The list of abnormalities associated with SH is stunning.
Yet, Attorney General Eric Holder is still a free man?
I don’t know about sandy hook and if Jones is right or wrong. But suing people is one way to shut them up.
I’ve watched talk shows that admit Jones was right about some stuff that people were saying he was nuts when he mentioned them.
The ruling is ridiculous. Nothing Ales Jones did hurt these people materially or spiritually. They are Pharisees at best.
And I don’t care for Alex “2 time married to Khazars and publishes rank bullshit at least some of the time” Jones, but I care even less for Judaic law.
Glad the big idiot is getting what he deserves. Now if the creditors can get to the millions he is hiding, that would be great.
I don’t like what you said, I think we should gather up all your shit and distribute it amongst ourselves. You know, to teach you a lesson for opening your yap! and offending me.
Free speech is not absolute – US law does recognize a number of important restrictions to free speech, including defamation and slander. Deal with it.
I bet you don’t like people owing firearms unrestricted, don’t ya?
Oh Okay, everyday of the week 24 hours a day the MSM commits these heinous crimes you speak of. So, I will help you get the ropes and gallows ready. Should I prepare the list by priority or alphabetical order? Should we include: Politicians, Bureaucrats, Talk show hosts, Chat rooms, Public broadcasting companies, web sites of all genres, individual news anchors, our neighbors? What say you, fearless leader.
I like the constitution the way it was written. Easy to interpret. I don’t need a lawyer to tell me what it says. This is one major reason why our Republic is in the death throws if not dead already. Rule by committee is nothing to be happy about.
The way it was intended to work is, The Congress proposes and writes a bill and votes, if passed then it goes to the Senate they vote if passed goes before the Executive for approval. Then it’s law. Special rules are purposely in place to change the Constitution, sorry for the elementary civics lesson.
Amendment I:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Sounds like we are falling on our own sword here. Wise up or were all done. For your own sake, stop running interference for these idiots. It’s not matter of who we like or don’t like, agree with or disagree with. It’s a matter of the right to speak even if we don’t agree especially if we don’t agree.
Limiting free speech means one cannot shout “Fire!” in a crowded theater. Now, in a burning theater, you can only silently share video of people a few rows in front of you dying. With mouths shut, just before one’s self burns alive. Otherwise the herd (heard) is discomforted.
* Later the authorities tell the press it was a planned demolition of the building. No, not the work of the arsonist Fire Marshall. And if anybody says otherwise….
So, who in the fuck are you? Anonymous isn’t exactly a new thing around here, and they come and go all the time.
Found the Khazar.
No one died at Sandy Hook.
Odd that Remington paid $73,000,000 to settle the SH lawsuit. They should have argued that no one died at SH!
There is no Remington Arms anymore. That was the insurance company setting the precedence that one can now sue gun manufactures for the misuse of their product… This is simply a back door gun control scheme that is scary effective (“Gun Company? sorry, no insurance for you”).
I get what your saying though
Remingt0n did not to get on the wrong side of the Masters of the Universe.
There was no Remington Arms present at that trial, they had already gone out of business. WEF, look it up, It’s the new “vogue” for the masters of the universe
I realized Jones was controlled opposition over 20 years ago when he came out with the video called Dark Secrets inside Bohemian Grove.
Like I was supposed to believe that moron just waltzed inside Bohemian Grove through the trees, with his buddy and a video camera, and mingled with all those world leaders and all that security, and managed to film them all doing a mock sacrifice of a child to a giant stone owl. I can’t believe people bought that bullshit.
The camps, bags, ammo, and operation whatever they called the yearly SF shindig that year – it was all too much. But they did turn the frogs gay and they are all bastards, he got that right.
Can you recommend some Khazarian reading material for those of us unfamiliar with what you’re always referring to?
It’s everything printed out in America by anything who is someone that we’re told to believe. Got it?
Clinker,
I was busting a gut on your response.
How true.
This?
Well I am not going to provide lazy anons with sauce, because how many warnings need to be in the Gospels before we recognize people like you? But for people who might be genuinely curious, here are some questions to get them started in the form of memes.
Jones is a Smith Mundt actor playing a role. Anyone can see with basic research that sandy hook was a drill , no one died. The lawsuit/bankruptcy story lines is all garbage.
His job was to conflate inconvenient true stories with batshit insane conspiracy stuff. He is a bullshit artist, and a misinformation specialist.
And yet so many lefty liars who will NEVER be held to account for THEIR defamation,…..real,TRUE,actual defamation!A number of Congress critters come to mind!
Always easy to break the little guy…….disgusting!Alex must be dead-on!
Has AJ cleared his throat yet or does he still sound like he is choking on a phlegm ball when he talks?
