Everything about it is so fucking stupid. The enormous bogus lawsuit because Jones exercised his free speech. Sorry Sandy Hook “victims” but people are allowed to say what they please. What they did to Jones is what they tried to do with Trump and what they want to do to every single person that disagrees with them. Maybe provide a counterargument or don’t watch the show, not a single person was harmed, let alone enough to warrant that kind of payout.
Everyone thinks the system hates minorities, but in reality it’s just a battle of who has more money. And take a guess who always wins…
The Sandy Hook families are the ones getting "screwed" in this whole mess because they're never going to see a single penny of their award.
The entire bankruptcy proceeding seems to have been managed in a way that ensures that the InfoWars property loses as much value as possible. This auction in particular, apparently, was a secret bid with no guarantee that the highest bid would win. In other words, they just wanted to dictate who got it.
Their only goal is to strip assets from Alex Jones by any means necessary as quickly as possible, probably before the entire thing gets overturned on appeal because the entire trial was a sham. There isn't even a pretense of making whole the "victims."
Something just doesn't seem right to me about how not one of those families is speaking out against being caught in all this lawfare. All for the sake of corrupt politicians and leftist NGOs being able to exploit their dead kids to shut down those who disagree with them.
If I were them, I would have been furious and demanded they stop.
I suspect that they've made their deal with the devil, and now they're getting what they deserve.
I can't recall the exact name but in the UK there's a unit of MI5 I believe who goes after Parents and propagandises them in the aftermarth and tries to "smooth community relations" I assume they implicitly threaten them too. No doubt there's something similar in the US.
It seems like they recruited some corrupt jackasses to actively conspire against Alex Jones.
I honestly hope they get their "Just Deserts", and I would not be surprised if anyone who participated has no dead kids.
From what I've heard a lot of them made peace with Jones a long time ago and settled things themselves with him, but the lawsuit continued on its own with a few more predatory families keeping their face attached.
I also imagine that that squad Biden sends out to families post-tragedy (whose name I can never remember) has threatened most of them to stay in line, as I very much doubt that just started with Biden.
Alex Jones' audience left with him, it'll be the opposite of what happened when Elon took over Twitter. Especially in the current culture when the left mainstream media is closing stuff down and cutting costs.
The owners of The Onion probably just bought it as a trophy to mount on their wall than to run it as a profitable venture.
And use it to "fact check" right wing conspiracy theories
It's like O'Keefe leaving Project Veritas.
Apparently he can't discharge the debt in bankruptcy, so he's also in debtor's prison for ever or maybe there's a time limit I don't know.
His new company is in his father's name, but they'll sue that and say it's not really his father running it.
It's another case of liberals trying to outcompete everyone else on being morally reprehensible. I really think they don't know what is right and wrong anymore. They're like disoriented divers that die swimming down because they can't tell which way is up.
Spoiler; they never did.
And given how they are even trying to claim Alex Jones' Twitter/X account (which technically Elon owns as its HIS company), they're getting too much attention when the pendulum is already starting to swing...
The amount of fuckery going on confirms Sandy Hook was propaganda.
not necessarily - you think these creatures are above actually killing kids to use later?
That's not how they use kids. They prefer live specimens.
The parents are ok with their children's deaths being used as propaganda, so what's the difference?
This done as an act of public humiliation to tell people who supported jones to kill themselves.

Alex claimed that the auction was phoney; they had another buyer scheduled, and at the last minute changed the procedings and did a "submit the highest number". Who knows
Good luck with that. Expect it to be maximum cringe when they "relaunch it" as a "parody". Alex Jones is entertaining BECAUSE he is Alex Jones and not because of the info wars name and brand. But the unfunny onion wouldn't get that now, would the?
