Harrison Smith frames Alex Jones' downfall as a political execution rather than a legal victory, arguing that 2018 deplatforming by giants like YouTube and Spotify targeted his independent influence post-2016. He details how "lawfare" utilized fraudulent default judgments to force a $1.5 billion liability, leading to an auction where The Onion allegedly colluded to seize assets. Ultimately, Smith asserts this campaign silences patriotic voices and warns that challenging entrenched power structures invites systematic destruction of independent media.

A Different Kind of Show00:09:59
And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you.
Ask what you can do for your country.
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Off Limits News.
I'm your host, Harrison Smith, coming to you here on the New Christian Right Network, NXR.
You can follow us, of course, on X at NXR Studios.
I'm very excited to do this show.
Welcome to the inaugural episode.
And actually, our first episode is going to be probably a little bit different than the rest of our episodes.
See, normally what we're going to do is we'll be bringing you an episode every Friday, and we'll be going over the top stories of the week, both the biggest stories that have dominated headlines and also what probably should be the biggest stories but tend to get left out.
To the side and not actually focused on.
So every week we'll come and we'll bring you sort of the best stories, the biggest stories, the most important stories affecting your life on a weekly basis.
And it should be extremely entertaining and informing.
I hope it is.
But today we want to do something a little bit different.
And I was talking to Joel Webbin about this and said, so, you know, what should we do for the first episode?
And he actually suggested, what if you go over what's happened to Alex Jones in InfoWars?
Now, I still work for Alex Jones.
I have a show every day, every weekday, Monday through Friday, 3 to 6 p.m. called The War Room, War Room Live, which you can find at alexjoneslive.com.
And you can follow us at AJNLiveOnX.
And I still do that show, and I will still continue to do that show.
And we'll just do this on top.
And I really love what the NXR guys are doing.
I believe in their mission.
And when they asked me to do a weekly show, it's something I've wanted to do forever.
And so I jumped on the opportunity.
And I didn't, it wasn't my idea.
I didn't think about bringing InfoWars here and using this as a platform to advertise it or anything like that.
But it's actually a great way to start because what has happened to InfoWars, what has happened to Alex Jones, should not just be of concern for people that are fans of Alex Jones.
If you're a fan of free speech, if you're a fan of the truth, if you're a fan of America, and you're seeing the way that it's being torn down, what has happened to Alex Jones should be a clarion call for you, should be a warning bell and a siren going off, letting you know the country that you love is being destroyed and is being ripped away from us, and we have to save it and rescue it and recognize the attacks.
That we're currently under.
And what's happened to Alex Jones, what's happened to InfoWars, it's not just a story of one guy talking about the New World Order, talking about these massive powerful forces, and then slowly but surely almost rising to parity with them and actually going head to head and facing off against them.
It's one of the most dramatic stories in modern history.
And it's also replete with the most egregious.
Examples of overreach, of authoritarianism, of deception, and the tricks that the powerful can pull in order to crush the little guy.
And it's a story that really is not getting the attention that it deserves because it's often perceived as this niche issue, this, well, it's Alex Jones and, you know, whatever.
Whatever happens to him, who cares?
It's Alex Jones.
He's just a big goofball, right?
That is the message that's been put across.
It's caused a lot of people to just sort of roll their eyes and not care about what's happening to Alex Jones, which is exactly why they're doing it to Alex Jones, because they're trying to set a precedent with Alex Jones that I would say will be applied to other people, but in fact, it already has been applied to other people.
And the method by which they have destroyed InfoWars and destroyed Alex Jones is being wielded against other patriotic movements, Christian movements, and independent movements across the country.
And so it really should be of concern to everybody.
And when you start looking into this, when you start investigating it, I say it's like a fractal image, right?
The more you zoom in, the more you see.
And it's like you can zoom in indefinitely and you could focus on just one aspect of the case.
And I could spend hours just detailing the amount of the corruption and the malfeasance and the manipulation and the abusive process that goes on.
You really could go on and on.
So I'm going to try to keep it as brief as possible here and give you the overview and hit the important points of what has occurred during the trial of InfoWars, the lawsuit, the bankruptcy, which is really just the latest and to them, they hope the last step in.
A mini step process of attempts to destroy Alex Jones.
It did not start with the lawsuit.
It actually started a lot earlier than that.
And this all ties into the story that we're going to tell here of the way in which extremely powerful forces can come together, work behind the scenes, and work to illegitimately and illegally, in my opinion, destroy a successful and completely upfront company.
And I guess I should say, Just on the offset, this is all my opinion, and I'm not a legal expert by any means.
And what I say here is in no way representative of NXR, the organization, or anything.
I am going to try to do my best just to stick to the facts and give you the story in a way that is accessible to everybody, even if you don't typically care about this type of topic.
It is something that you should, in my opinion, be concerned about.
But even if you aren't, you'll at least find it interesting and entertaining the way this has unfolded.
And so I think we'll start with sort of a background of who Alex Jones is, what InfoWars is, and what led up to the eventual lawsuit that led to the bankruptcy.
Right now, the Alex Jones Network has replaced InfoWars.
So, just starting sort of at the end, is that the bankruptcy has succeeded.
InfoWars has been shut down.
Alex Jones created a new company called the Alex Jones Network that he doesn't own because he's not allowed to own anything.
And so we're still broadcasting at alexjoneslive.com, and you can still find Alex Jones there.
And so, really, the ultimate conclusion of all of this is that if you are persistent, if you fight back, if you resist the corruption and continue to tell the truth, regardless of who likes it and who doesn't, the American people will have your back and you will be able to defeat this level of oppression and repression and abuse by the system.
It's actually a hopeful story.
It's actually a story of resilience and resolute continuation of something.
Despite the most powerful forces in the world trying to get Alex Jones to stop, he just won't stop.
And there's a lesson in that for all of us.
And there's a lesson that people like Alex Jones, organizations like InfoWars or NXR Studios, need to be supported by the people because there is no institutional support for any of us.
And we will be crushed if we aren't aware of the game that we're playing and the ways that the rules change.
Just in case you don't know, Alex Jones is a media personality.
He is a reporter and a filmmaker and a radio host that first started around 1994 hosting on cable access.
So when you talk about Alex Jones, you're talking about, honest to God, the classic American story of a regular guy, just like anybody else, just deciding on his own volition I need to do something.
I want to make something.
I want to build something.
I have a story to tell.
Accessing, you know, Things that are available to him and to everybody going to the library, looking stuff up, going to the cable access channel, and signing up for a time slot and being so compelling and so interesting and so correct that it spirals to become something that has literally altered the course of human history.
And I think you'll see that as we go through the story.
So in 1994, Alex Jones begins hosting on Public Access in Austin, Texas, talking about conspiracy theories, anti government commentary, civil liberties were a big focus as well.
And in fact, we have a video from around 2002.
So this would have been, you know, actually almost a decade into Alex's career, but this gives you a good idea of his style, his worldview, and his presentation style, what made him so compelling.
And you'll hear in this what he's talking about is nowadays widely and You know, almost completely acknowledged the fact that there are these hidden forces behind the scenes that are working to maybe not everybody would say enslave humanity, but certainly we all recognize they don't have our best interest in mind.
And again, the world that exists today in 2026 is so vastly different than the world that existed when this clip was made in 2002.
And it's different in no small part because of Alex Jones hammering this message out and enough people receiving it, hearing it, recognizing the truth in it.
And then acting on it, acting on this truth, protesting, going out, getting involved, running for office, exposing this stuff, writing their own books or making their own movies, that nowadays this is widely acknowledged.
But back in the day, this was, I mean, this got you kicked out of dinner parties.
This was not something that normal, polite, respectable people talked about.
And thank goodness we're in a world now where we can talk about this stuff openly, we can recognize the threats that we're under, we can acknowledge the conspiracies that seem to dictate so much of our world.
The World Government Agenda00:05:54
But here's Alex Jones in 2002 on cable access in Austin, Texas, showing you the revelation, the ideology that would come to dominate modern politics.
Here's Alex Jones in 2002.
The facts and common sense are in.
Yes, there have been corrupt empires.
Yes, they manipulate.
Yes, there are secret societies.
Yes, there have been oligarchies throughout history.
And yes, today in 2002, there is a tyrannical organization calling itself the New World Order.
Pushing for worldwide government, a cashless society, open borders, total and complete tyranny, where human beings are absolutely worthless.
There's six and a quarter plus billion of us, and the globalists have said it many times there's too many of us, we're causing a problem, we need to be culled at the tune of 80%.
It's amazing to talk about that, but it's the globalists, the UN, their own public statements, and they've convinced a lot of liberals.
And elitist conservatives and others that by going along with this, we're intelligent members of society.
It's the ultimate Malthus worldview.
It is this radical, virulent form of social Darwinism.
It's the excuse of tyrants.
And by creating open borders where there's no national sovereignty and only global bodies that control all the resources, by centralizing and socializing health care, the state Becomes God basically when it comes to your health, and then by releasing diseases and viruses and plagues upon us, we then basically get shoved into their system.
So, there you go again in 2002, nobody was talking about this, but now that we can look back from 2026 and see, he was obviously exactly right, and so much of what he talked about then has now come to fruition.
They're pretty open about wanting a world government.
I mean, the World Economic Forum holds an annual meeting called the World Government Conference, and In effect, the World Economic Forum, in fact, serves as a sort of proto global government.
You see, the World Economic Forum, the Bilderberg Group, these secret meetings that the elite have, that Alex Jones has been reporting on for 20 years, they were always real.
They always happened.
Now, you can go back and actually still find archives of things like BBC articles saying, the Bilderberg group, it doesn't exist.
There's no such thing.
These crazy conspiracy theorists come up with this idea.
It never existed.
Well, it did exist.
And enough people like Alex Jones and others hammered this message out and told people what was going on and filmed all of these incredibly high powered people going into hotels together and meeting in secret that eventually now they have to admit it.
And so now we're at the point where Bilderberg announces that it's happening and says, yes, the big Bilderberg meeting is happening and here's the agenda of what we're talking about.
Now, that's a defensive move that they've been forced to make because we exposed them.
If they could continue to operate in total secrecy, total silence, total security, knowing that they can meet in secret on top of a mountain in Switzerland like they do at Davos in the World Economic Forum with rock stars and filmmakers and world leaders and kings and queens and presidents and prime ministers all coming together to create a policy and then they disperse to their Independent nations and enact that policy.
That's what you would call a government.
I mean, it's sort of the way the Congress used to operate, right?
It didn't used to be a permanent job that people were at every day all throughout the year.
That's why there's these big recesses.
The idea was, well, we'll come together in Congress, right, in a big meeting, we'll establish policy, we'll debate the course of the nation, and then we'll all go home and, you know, enact those policies in our home states.
That's how the World Economic Forum operates right now.
So the idea of a world government, while it was Seen as the purview of the crazy conspiracy theorists back in 2012 when Alex Jones was really heating up and getting going and becoming a nationally known name.
They wanted to hide it.
They pretended it didn't exist, but it always existed.
And now it's sort of out in the open.
And they've sort of been forced to acknowledge that Alex Jones was right the entire time.
And this goes to why they actually are targeting Alex Jones, why they've always targeted Alex Jones.
We'll get to the lawsuit and we'll get to the details of the.
Most recent attack against Infowars and Alex Jones.
But the fact is, what they're claiming the attack is about has almost nothing to do with what it's really about.
What it's really about is the desire of these people to operate in total secrecy because then you have no ability to fight back.
It really is that simple.
And by exposing this stuff, by simply reading their own white papers and then delivering them to the wider audience and regular people, Alex Jones shattered their protective shell of secrecy that allowed them to operate with basically impunity for so long.
And you can see there, the message was already there.
He already had the ideology, he had the worldview.
He really hasn't deviated from that by much at all.
And that just goes to show you that, you know, Alex Jones is often portrayed as some sort of snake oil salesman or just he's there for the spectacle and he's just trying to, you know, cause problems to get attention on him.
But no, there's an ideology underlying it, there's a truth underlying it, there's an opposition that we feel towards a very real group of people.
That has always been the thing that drives Alex Jones and things that drive the thing that drives InfoWars.
And it's by obscuring that with all these claims, these sort of explosive claims about things that don't really matter, it obscures what this is really all about, which is resisting the satanic one world government that we very clearly see being established all around us right now.

I just want to point you to a couple of things NXR has just launched.
We actually just launched a brand new store, and one of the pieces available is probably the funniest shirt I've ever seen Diversity for Israel.
I love this shirt because people might find it offensive, but I don't know if they could explain exactly why.
It's a great sort of inversion of a lot of the slogans that we're taught to absorb, despite them not making a lot of sense.
Hey, if diversity is good for us, it's got to be great for Israel, right?
You can find that.

It's an excellent book about the coordinated demographic, cultural, and political transformation of the West and the anti white ideology at the heart of all of it.
It's one of the most underreported, criminally underreported things going on in the world right now.
It's obvious to everybody who Who can see it, but so much of our world is still shrouded in darkness.
We got to wake them up, and books like this are exactly how we do that.
You can pre order your copy right now by going to newchristianright.comslash white.
That's newchristianright.comslash W H I T E.
Now, let's get back to the episode.
So, moving forward from 94 to 95, he gets on the radio.
He actually starts to become extremely popular.
He's on something like 300 plus radios by the time he launches InfoWars in 1999.
So, InfoWars in 1999.
Changing Tactics After Waco00:15:43
Becomes a website, and this once again represents sort of Alex Jones being on the forefront of these new technologies that allow the mass dispersal of information.
So, before the internet, and again, I hate saying stuff like this.
I always hate when in podcasts people are like, you know, this was a time before cell phones, so they couldn't just call each other.
I hate when people do that, but I'm going to do it here.
There was a time before the internet, kids, and when the internet before the internet existed, you had basically Three or four big channels, you had a couple of big publishers, but information itself was highly controlled and highly selective.
And once again, you see the way that the powers that be.
Let me explain something really quick.
What Alex Jones talks about, what we talk about on InfoWars, we talk about here at NXR Studios, it is a global cabal of people who are extremely capable of pulling off some extremely evil deeds.
And often you look at what they've been able to accomplish and what they can get away with, and it almost.
Imbues them with like a magical quality, like, oh my gosh, this they must be superhuman, these must be demons in disguise.
Because how can they pull the wool over everybody's eyes so effectively?
Or how can nobody see this?
Such an obvious thing is there some sort of spiritual power being wielded over these people?
And there likely is.
I mean, I'm a Christian, I believe in spiritual power, I don't discount that.
But at the same time, you have to recognize these people are human beings, they have to contend with human will, they can't do whatever they want whenever they want.
And when you fight back, if you fight back smart, you And you fight back hard, they will fail or they'll have to change their tactics to deal with a new situation.
And that's an important thing to remember not to get black pilled, not to think, oh my God, these people are so powerful.
You know, we better surrender because they'll kill us if we don't.
Like, that's not the case.
You can stand up to these people, you can force these people to show their hand or to change their tactics because what they were doing is stopped by what you're doing.
So, as the internet opens up and suddenly the flow of information is available to everybody, they've had to change tactics to deal with that.
Before, when there were only three channels and two publishers, then the way you would crush a story is by ignoring it, right?
Maybe you have a story and somebody goes to their local news station, and maybe the local news station runs it, so everybody in Milwaukee hears about it.
But for it to get to a national audience, that cable package has to then be picked up by a national syndicate who will then spread it to the rest of the nation.
And if they want to crush a story in its crib, if they want it not to get anywhere except for Milwaukee, they just ignore it.
They just pretend it doesn't exist, they don't cover it.
Nobody in America is any of the wiser.
Maybe people in Milwaukee know about it.
Maybe they spread it word of mouth, but it doesn't really go anywhere.
It certainly doesn't pick up the steam that it needs to actually become a national story that changes politics or has an effect on the world.
That was before.
That was when they had control of the information flow.
Then the internet comes around.
Suddenly everybody can get information to anybody extremely effectively and with little to no overhead.
And so that tactic no longer works.
They can no longer just ignore you.
Now they have to actually provide a counter argument.
So, before, where if it was a big story, they could ignore it and it would sort of fizzle out and go away.
Now they have to actually proactively either try to discredit that story or they have to come up with a different story to distract everybody with.
This has been a fundamental change in the way that the media interacts with the people.
And it's been a change for the positive.
They can no longer simply ignore stories that they want to go away.
Ignoring them doesn't work.
And so they've had to change their tactics.
And you'll see that.
Throughout this timeline, how they've had to routinely change tactics because, once again, they're human beings and they have to contend with human will.
They do not have superpowers, they are not omniscient, they cannot snap their fingers and have humanity jump.
They have to get your agreement, they have to get your complicity if they want to do something to you.
It's an important thing to remember, and it's a message that Alex Jones has championed the entire time he's been on the air.
So we'll speed up a little bit here because 2001 was a big breakout year for Alex.
Obviously, he was one of the first ever to say that we do not have the full story about what happened on September 11th, 2001.
9 11 is an inside job.
That was sort of the catchphrase that he popularized.
And whether you believe it was an inside job or believe that maybe we just don't have the full story of how everything happened, I think right now, if you were to go and hold an honest poll to the American people, I think more than half of them would agree that we don't have the full story about 9 11.
There's something missing there.
Now, again, in 2002, 2003, probably up to like 2009 or so, if you in public said you don't believe the story of 9 11, You were ostracized.
You were a freak.
I mean, you were like, you know, kicked out of polite society.
You weren't allowed to believe that.
But something has changed.
Something has changed where now that's not only an acceptable view, I think it's probably the majority view.
Maybe not that 9 11 was an inside job, but certainly that there are elements to it that we were lied about and that it was used to pursue goals that had nothing to do with the actual attack itself.
This is another phenomenon that it's worth paying attention to and recognizing that it wasn't one major documentary.
It wasn't a book that came out, it wasn't a revelation of leaked documents and suddenly everybody around the world went, oh my gosh, we got the wrong story about 9 11.
It's a slow drip.
Form of revelation that happens incrementally and that is sort of quiet in the background.
You never know when exactly it happens.
There's no hard line where you can say, before this, nobody believed it.
After it, everybody believed it.
It just sort of happens.
And eventually you look around and you go, wait, everybody gets it now?
It seems like everybody I talk to understands that there are hidden worlds that are being kept from us.
It's really an amazing process that we've seen take place.
And again, it represents a really a Massive victory for those of us in the alternative media.
But it was not a popular stance to have.
And so, again, you see a pattern of Alex Jones being right about stuff, being right to question things, bucking the trend of the mainstream media, and yet persisting and being attacked.
He was actually kicked off of almost all of the radio stations he was on.
He went from 300 down to under 100, I believe, and had to slowly build his way back up.
But it shows you once again that if you're operating off the truth, if you're not being deceitful, if you're being honest and forthright and You know, people know that they'll support you.
And even when they try to destroy you or threaten to take you off every radio station, you've got to persist and it'll work out for you.
As long as, again, you're right and, you know, accurate and honest, things tend to work out.
And it's a lesson that Alex Jones has taught us over and over.
Terms like false flag, terms like, you know, inside job, these phrases now are regular parlance.
Everybody knows what they mean.
Alex Jones really was the guy who popularized all of these.
Phrases and let people know about tactics that the elite use to keep people in control or to manipulate their opinion one way or another, manufacture consent for wars overseas.
These things are extremely important.
They dictate what the American people are willing to put up with, willing to go along with, and willing to co sign.
It's all about the information war.
And again, that's why the name InfoWars was so accurate.
Now, through all this time, Alex Jones is making documentaries, he's on cable access, he's on radio.
You know, selling DVDs and t shirts and building up his company, and all through basically from 2007 through 2015 or so, InfoWars becomes the biggest independent news outlet in the world, dominating on social media, changing the conversation in a lot of different ways.
And yet, he was still sort of treated as a sideshow, he was still sort of mocked as this conspiracy theorist.
People think he talks about aliens and Bigfoot, and he was sort of sidelined and not taken very seriously.
Now, on one hand, you might be upset.
By that, if you were Alex Jones, because he's very serious about what he's talking about.
He's not talking about woo woo sci fi, you know, tinfoil hat stuff.
He's talking about the way politics really works and the agreements that are really made between countries in secrecy because their people wouldn't agree to it.
The overarching plan, which is obviously in motion to destroy the fundamental fabric of our society through racial replacement and dumbing people down.
I mean, all of this stuff, again, is well recognized now.
And Alex Jones was on the forefront of all of it.
And yet, he was treated as ridiculous and not really given much respect by those in power, which was their mistake.
Because around 2015 to 2016, Alex Jones' power was revealed in full.
And he was one of the first people to have Donald Trump on his show.
He interviewed him, and that was a major event because a lot of people did not know what to make of Donald Trump.
When he came down the escalator, he had some interesting things to say, but is this the real deal?
Deal?
Is he just a Trojan horse for the establishment?
Is this just a thing to sell books?
What is this exactly?
And by going on Alex Jones, he at least let people know that action alone said to the audience, I am not controlled.
I am not with the establishment.
Nobody who is trying to go for the GOP Republican candidacy in 2016 typically would have thought, I'm going to go with Alex Jones.
They're trying to remain respectable.
They want to go on CNN and MSNBC and You know, talk to the crazy leftists that, you know, want to abort babies, things like that.
That's fine.
They can go on those with people, but you don't go on Alex Jones because he's, you know, he's too fringe, he's too far right.
By going on Alex Jones, Donald Trump imbued himself with legitimacy.
And people who saw that said, okay, this guy's the real deal.
If he's willing to go on Alex Jones, if he's willing to acknowledge the things that Alex Jones is saying about globalism and nationalism, right?
Nationalism will be our credo, not globalism.
That's, you know, the ideology of Alex Jones.
And by going on Alex Jones, Donald Trump.
Really certified himself as the real deal.
Now we can debate how that's turned out so far, but at least in the 2016 world, that was a very big deal and probably brought Alex Jones to the attention of a lot of people for the first time who let him sort of have fun in the background.
They think he's talking about aliens or whatever.
They don't realize that he's slowly but surely building a power base of patriotic conservative Americans who are aware that we're not getting the full story from the mainstream media and are searching for the truth elsewhere.
And you'll notice, by the way, you may have noticed that as I talk about a timeline of Alex Jones' career up until around 2015, I might talk about Waco, that he was one of the first people and actually was leading the charge to rebuild the Waco church and to support the survivors of the Waco massacre, which, again, at the time, if you were watching the news, they were portrayed as an insane cult that burned themselves to death.
Crazy.
Nowadays, you go watch the Netflix show, you just, Talk to anybody on the street, everybody recognizes no, this was a massacre.
This was a mass murder by the United States government burning American citizens and children alive in their own home because they refused to give up their guns.
Alex Jones was very much in the center of that and fighting back against the false mainstream narrative about this being a cult and pointing out no, this was an overreach by the United States government.
This was a massacre of innocent people.
This was a crime against humanity.
Again, you got to give the guy credit.
Now everybody can recognize that.
Back then, that was a very dangerous position to hold.
And yet he held it and was on the forefront.
And even now, the Waco show that was extremely popular a few years ago on Netflix was adopted from a book by a man named Thibodeau, David Thibodeau, I believe.
And if you go watch videos of Thibodeau shortly after the Waco massacre occurred, he referenced, he says, you know, there's this guy, Alex Jones, that's really leading the charge and helping us to rebuild the church.
That type of stuff really solidified that Alex Jones was willing to go out on a limb and talk about stuff, even if it was hugely unpopular and a risk to his own career.
If he knew it was true and knew what he was standing up for was the rights of innocent people.
So, again, you can talk about Waco.
You can talk about 9 11 being absolutely massive for him.
You can talk about all these different instances that represent sort of hallmarks or tent poles in Alex Jones' career.
I wouldn't mention Sandy Hook.
It wouldn't be a main tent pole of Alex Jones' career if you were looking at it objectively from a time before the bankruptcy.
And again, I didn't frame it to do this, but just if you go to AI or something and just say, give me a timeline of Alex Jones' career, it'll give you major points.
Of his career.
It'll mention Waco.
It'll mention 9 11.
It'll mention Alex Jones going on Piers Morgan in 2013 and getting an argument with him.
That was all sort of down the road from Sandy Hook, but Sandy Hook didn't represent a major thing that Alex Jones was the face of, that it was his topic that he talked about.
It just would have fit in with a whole bunch of other conspiracies that Alex Jones talked about every day on his show.
There was nothing particularly special about it, there was nothing that made Alex Jones central to the Sandy Hook narrative.
It just would have been another thing that he talked about for a few minutes during one or two shows and then moved on to the next topic, which is important to understand because now, if you talk about Alex Jones, he's the Sandy Hook guy, right?
I mean, that's what he's known as.
That's why his company was destroyed because he, and the way that they portray it, the story that they told was that he just for years on end was harassing the Sandy Hook survivors and would endlessly talk about this.
They were begging him to stop and he would never stop.
That was never the case.
That was simply never the case, which is really at the heart of all of this, is understanding that.
If you look in the mainstream media, the perspective you get is not just inaccurate, it is deliberately falsified.
Alex Jones was not the Sandy Hook guy.
It wasn't his major thing, and he wasn't the one who led the charge and came up with all the stuff about it.
He had people on, he had guests on who were popular at the time.
Because again, if you weren't a conspiracy theorist at the time, I can understand why, if you're reading accounts of it from the mainstream media, you would think maybe Alex Jones was like the Progenitor of this conspiracy theory.
He simply wasn't.
And as somebody who was paying attention at the time, Sandy Hook became a conspiracy on the level of like JFK, 9 11, I'm the Titanic.
Like it was a major topic of conversation.
And Alex Jones was by no means, I don't even think he was one of the top 20 people talking about it.
There are entire documentaries, multiple.
Like I can probably think of five two hour documentaries, each one that has at least 10 contributors to it.
Alex Jones is not one of them.
Okay?
And so the perspective that Alex Jones was the Sandy Hook guy is something that has been laid onto him ex post facto, after the fact, later on when they wanted to smear him as the Sandy Hook guy.
Debunking the Sandy Hook Myth00:06:21
And this ties into the censorship that's about to come about, that I'll tell you about in just a second.
So in 2015, he was still sort of under the radar.
He had talked about Sandy Hook, but it wasn't a big deal.
He wasn't associated with Sandy Hook by any means.
Not to the wider public, certainly, and not even to the people who studied Sandy Hook.
Sure, you might talk about it, but it wasn't his thing.
There was Wolfgang Halbig and all these other people that get brought up in the trial and elsewhere who were actually the ones pushing forward this theory that was, again, one of the most popular theories on the internet at the time.
So for Alex Jones, the number one conspiracy theory guy in the world, to talk about Sandy Hook for a few minutes here, a few minutes there, it was nothing out of the ordinary, and it certainly wasn't something that.
You know, it was seen as a major concern for Alex, something that he was hyper focused on and, you know, doing the work to drive forward.
It was something other people were doing and that he would occasionally report on.
Again, that's important to understand because the real motivation behind the lawsuit, the real motivation behind the bankruptcy was almost entirely political.
Entirely.
And there's a very easy way to know this.
And that is that it wasn't until literally one week after Donald Trump got elected that you saw the first stories in the mainstream media relating Alex Jones to Sandy Hook.
And they related Alex Jones to Sandy Hook and Donald Trump to Alex Jones.
This was all about the fact that the people in power, those with the money and desire to enslave all of us, didn't realize how powerful Alex had become.
And Donald Trump's victory was a surprise to them.
And they landed on Alex Jones as the reason that they were losing.
And I'm going to go to the second clip here because this is a video I made on InfoWars where I show that you can use.
Google News search to actually identify the exact moment that the powers that be decided we're going to take down Alex Jones and we're going to use Sandy Hook to do it.
Let's watch.
Go to Google, search Alex Jones, Sandy Hook.
Go to the News tab, go to Custom Date from January 1st, 2013.
So that would have been two weeks after Sandy Hook occurred to January 1st, 2016.
And I searched Alex Jones, Sandy Hook.
And what you'll find, there's just nothing.
There's not a single headline or a single story about Alex Jones being related to Sandy Hook.
Not a single one.
But the interesting thing is, Change the parameters from January 1st, 2016 to January 1st, 2020.
Suddenly there's thousands.
And it just goes on and on and on.
The first story relating Alex Jones to Sandy Hook was literally one week after the election in 2016.
Sandy Hook truther Alex Jones says he got a nice thank you call from the president elect.
And then it was one day after that, daughter of Sandy Hook victim demands Donald Trump disown Alex Jones.
I want to impress upon you what's actually behind this whole thing.
They decided that a good attack vector on Donald Trump was to associate Alex Jones with Donald Trump and Alex Jones with Sandy Hook.
For years and years, that was never a thing.
It's all absurd, but that's just my personal view.
So, again, you can do this search yourself.
You can search this yourself.
I just gave you instructions how to do it.
You can see that really, you know, it wasn't Sandy Hook and Alex Jones.
That wasn't an association anybody made until one week after when there's an article tying them together.
And then one day after that, you have the first family member of a Sandy Hook victim basically saying, hey, something needs to be done about this.
You know, this Alex Jones guy has been.
You know, victimizing my family.
And then you see the ball start rolling that eventually ends in the trial and the bankruptcy and everything.
And in fact, there's more to this, and this was a wider conspiracy than just Alex Jones.
And I'll provide the crew after this an image that we'll overlay here.
But you can actually see if you search Google Trends for the term fake news, fake news was a slogan.
Engineered, created by the Hillary Clinton campaign that they originally intended to use, thinking they were going to win the election.
They were planning to use the term fake news to drive a censorship program with President Hillary Clinton because they launched it right about the time that the election happened.
But, you know, it wasn't a reaction to here's why we lost, although that's what it became.
It was, they were always going to intend to crush independent media under President Hillary Clinton.
They expected her to win and they expected to use this fake news rallying cry.
To crush people like Alex Jones and anybody that spread the WikiLeaks or spread her stolen emails, all of this stuff that was accurate information that was revealed by hackers or WikiLeaks or Seth Rich or whoever else, that was a major problem for her and her campaign.
And they wanted to really put in the strictures in place necessary to stop that type of information from coming out in the future.
And so, long story short, they invent this term fake news, and it is a literal vertical line on Google Trends.
Nobody says fake news.
I mean, it's like a little bump.
Maybe those words are combined sometimes.
But as a concept, it goes straight up exactly on the day of the election in 2016.
And then, of course, Donald Trump comes out and says, You are fake news, and sort of co-ops the slogan for himself.
And it becomes a saying that Donald Trump was saying about the mainstream media.
But originally, the fake news slogan was something pushed by Hillary Clinton to explain her loss, and that originally she was intending to use after having won to crush independent media.
But they came up with this phrase, fake news, to then explain Hillary Clinton's loss and try to demonize independent media.
And all of this was a part of this knee jerk, frantic reaction from the establishment having lost the election in 2016.
They were out for blood and they wanted to make sure it never happened again.
And they decided it was independent media who, telling the truth without the guardrails of the mainstream, that allowed an independent, uncontrolled candidate to actually take the reins.
Patient Zero and Fake News00:15:40
Once again, this isn't about Alex Jones.
It's not about Infowars.
You don't have to believe what he says about Sandy Hook or 9 11 or anything to understand that this is a powerful political structure defending itself against independent, unaligned, or truthful media outlets.
And not only the fact that it's an outlet that can get information out there and that can get attention to topics that they would rather ignore, but that Alex Jones built a company and a media outlet totally independent, totally on his own, totally funded by the audience that he had.
Through his store, the Infowars store, to go toe to toe with the big guys, which is another reason that they are so hyper focused on Alex Jones because they want to use him as an example to teach a lesson to the rest of us.
You think you can go up against us?
You think you can make a little studio in your backyard?
You think you can burn DVDs and sell them out of the back of a van and build that into a major media empire?
Not if we have anything to say about it, right?
You try that, we'll destroy your life.
That's what they're trying to tell people by destroying Alex Jones.
So you got to understand, even if you don't like the guy, You got to recognize how he's being used as a weapon against our rights and our ability to stand up against an entrenched and corrupt establishment.
And so you got to stand up for him on principle.
You got to fight back against this ridiculous oppression that is so fundamentally un American and unchristian and untruthful and designed exclusively for our enslavement.
And again, I can prove this.
They said this actually, they said this quite a bit that the point of the bankruptcy was to shut down Alex's.
Box, right?
The box that he stands on, the soap box that he stands on, they want to kick it out from under him and burn it, right?
They want to destroy his platform.
They want to destroy his ability to talk freely.
That's what this is about.
It's a total abuse of the legal process, which ostensibly should be there just to have monetary remunerations because of a lie that was told.
It's been totally abused.
And I'll show you clips that illustrate that here in just a second.
But it was that 2016 victory that suddenly the powers that be were looking around for who stole from them, who stole this election from them, and how do they guarantee it never happens again?
And they didn't start with the bankruptcy.
They didn't start with the lawsuits.
In fact, they started with deplatforming.
The deplatforming began around 2017, but it really accelerated in 2018.
And Alex Jones served as the first major figure kicked off of every major platform.
Within a period of a few days, he was kicked off of Spotify and YouTube and Apple and the Google App Store and Twitter, X and Instagram.
And I mean, it goes on and on.
All of them kicked him off on the same day.
X or Twitter at the time was a few days later, but they got him too under some other claim, right?
Some people said, oh, well, it's about threats.
And other people said, oh, well, it's because he's spreading misinformation and fake news.
And then X said, well, one time you filmed yourself.
Calling Oliver Darcy, saying that he looked like a possum that crawled out of a carcass of a cow.
So we're going to cancel you for bullying.
It doesn't matter what they say.
It doesn't matter what excuse they use.
The truth is, he was a political threat.
Alex Jones is a political threat.
He wields the ability to sway huge swaths of the population, and he does so without instruction from above.
That makes him dangerous, so he must be destroyed.
So cancel him for bullying.
Cancel him for this.
Cancel him for it.
It doesn't matter what they say.
What's really motivating them.
Is that he represents a break in their security, a chink in their armor, a vulnerability that can and will destroy them if it's not dealt with.
So they tried with all their might to deal with it by carrying out this public execution of a man in public.
And this served a couple purposes.
For one thing, they thought they were going to destroy Alex Jones and InfoWars by doing this.
And they got fairly close.
I mean, I believe InfoWars is making something like.
$30,000 a month on YouTube alone.
So, I mean, they really cut off the cash flow in a very significant way.
But Alex Jones knew this was going to happen.
He had prepared for this to happen.
He actually had a store set up to take advantage of the fact that, as far gone as America is at this point, we still, by necessity, have a core of capitalism where if you have something to sell and somebody else wants to buy it, there's not a lot people can do to interrupt.
I mean, if it's not an illegal product, Then you got to be able to make a living.
It's America after all.
So he took advantage of that and he said, okay, I'm going to make a store.
I'm going to sell good products.
People are going to buy it from me.
And we use the profits to fund the media outlet.
So no sponsors, not having to deal with people, investors coming in and giving a bunch of money and then wanting to have a say in the way the programming worked.
Didn't have to deal with any of that.
Appealed straight to the American people and said, if you like what I'm doing, buy my products.
They're good products.
Buy a t shirt, buy a documentary.
And that money goes into this mission, into this effort, into this channel, into this media empire.
Very pure, very.
You know, clean and very successful in withstanding the deplatforming that occurred in 2018.
So, Alex Jones built banned.video to host his own videos since YouTube had kicked him off and all the other platforms had kicked him off.
And he just continued to trudge on.
And because of the support of the American people and because of the Streisand effect of kicking Alex Jones off, we not only survived, but actually grew out of it.
But that was the first attempt.
And you can just imagine, you can just imagine the popping of the champagne, the clinking of glasses.
We did it.
We got him kicked off everything.
He'll be down in a week, you know?
I mean, they probably thought that because it was a major move and it was a risk for them.
I mean, they sort of had to show their hands by doing that, right?
They sort of had to expose that they were willing to collaborate with all these different industries to get them all aligned on destroying somebody.
I mean, that could have gone badly.
If more people, as they should have, had stood up against what had happened, they could have caused a major backlash.
And they did to some degree, but you can just imagine how successful they thought they were in getting Alex Jones kicked off.
But we survived.
He survived.
He stayed on air, he stayed on the radio.
They were not able to destroy InfoWars or the movement or Alex Jones.
And so they moved to the next phase.
They move to the next phase, which is the lawfare.
This case, again, I cannot elucidate to you the number of absurdities about this case.
For one thing, the fact that they blame basically all of the Sandy Hook conspiracies on Alex Jones is ridiculous to absolutely anybody that has even a passing familiarity with the Sandy Hook conspiracy as it developed from 2012 to 2026.
To claim that Alex Jones was the leader, was the progenitor, was the source of this conspiracy is.
Ridiculous, absurd, and completely non factual.
But how are you going to know that?
How are you going to know that?
Because what also happened in 2018 is they removed every Sandy Hook video from YouTube.
So it used to be that if you went on YouTube and you searched Sandy Hook, especially if you searched truth about Sandy Hook or Sandy Hook conspiracy, you would get page upon page upon page upon page of hundreds of users making thousands of videos talking about Sandy Hook.
And usually Alex Jones wouldn't be in the top.
10 pages of results.
I mean, there were people who this was what they did, and they did it every day, and they did it continuously, and they were very popular, and their videos had millions of views.
Then YouTube deletes all of those, turns around and says, Alex Jones was a Sandy Hook guy.
It was all Alex Jones, and he's the one that did it all.
You go to find evidence to the contrary, and they've deleted it.
That's pretty convenient, I think, actually.
Because this is another thing when you kick Alex Jones off of all the social medias, sure, his fans will know where to find him.
People will still go to his website, or they'll still listen to his radio show.
But For the vast majority of people who get their news through social media or get their news from friends, you know, sharing posts, he was not able to defend himself.
So they kick him off all of these platforms, think that they destroy him.
They didn't.
But at the same time, by kicking him off all these platforms, they've silenced him to a large degree.
So then they get to go around and say Alex Jones was his handi hook guy.
And Alex Jones did this and Alex Jones did that.
And he has no ability to fight back on a level playing field.
So there are multiple, you know, aspects of this that make the attack.
You know, a reasonable one for them to launch with a reasonable expectation of success.
However, they failed.
And we'll get into why they failed.
But again, I want to emphasize that according to the people that launched this lawsuit, they did it with the intent and for the purpose of eliminating Alex Jones' right to speak.
And that's the purpose of this.
And you can even see through the vicissitudes of the bankruptcy, there have been times where they've been offered huge amounts of money.
They've been offered As much as Alex Jones could feasibly give.
And they reject it because they don't want the money.
They want Alex Jones silenced.
Now, that's not the way you're supposed to use the court.
The court isn't actually set up for that.
You're supposed to, if somebody lies about you and you lose money, then you can sue the person that lied for the money that you lost.
That's the way that it's supposed to work.
Or there can be punitive damages if they think it was malicious the way that you were handling things.
They wanted to take Alex Jones' microphone away.
There's no legal function to do that through America, so they did it through civil court.
And that's the truth, and they will tell you that.
In fact, I want to go to a little video here.
Clip number five.
This is Alex Jones's Patient Zero.
This was made by a fan of Infowars and Alex Jones, but it shows the lawyers of Sandy Hook saying in their own words to the jury in the courtroom that their purpose there was to silence Alex Jones and make him a symbol and to send a message to other people like Alex Jones that this is the way you'll be treated if you dare to say things that we don't want you to say.
So let's go to clip number five here Alex Jones as patient zero.
Alex Jones is patient zero.
I ask that with your verdict, you not only take Alex Jones' platform that he talks about away, I ask that you make certain he can't rebuild the platform.
That's what matters.
Take him out of this discourse, of this misinformation, of this peddling of lies, and make sure he can't.
Do it again.
That is punishment.
And they testified that I won't settle.
I won't give him a billion dollars I don't have.
And I'm a liar.
And no one wants to shut me down.
So shut him down immediately.
Have you ever been gaslit?
Because you're the people being lied to.
And I got all the other videos of Maddie and them saying, We know he's criminal.
We're going to find all the hidden money.
We're going to find the offshore accounts.
And none of it was there.
A tiny lake house, 127 acres, and my main house.
And I sold.
My big expensive house that I made a really good move on for $2 million, bought it for, sold it for $7 million two years ago, and put it all into this operation.
All of it.
Alex Jones is patient zero.
So here is CNN short and sweet admitting we want him shut down.
Here it is.
If the judge rules today that these companies must be liquidated, it will essentially take InfoWars.
Out of the hands of Alex Jones.
What's really interesting actually is just in the last two days, the families also requested that Alex Jones's social media accounts, his ex slash Twitter account, will also be liquidated, arguing that this Twitter account is, ex account is essentially like a customer base.
It'll be really interesting to see how the judge rules from that.
Now, Jones, for his part, for the last few days has continued airing his shows, has continued peddling lies about who is behind these cases.
He was broadcasting even on his way to Houston.
To court.
Now, for the families, they actually, I spoke to one of the lawyers for some of the Connecticut families, and he says that they are trying to find the most amount of accountability that the legal system can deliver, and that the money is just one component of that and not the most important component of it.
For them, the most important component of this is to essentially try to get Alex Jones's damaging lies and conspiracy theories that he continues to peddle off of the airwaves.
Get Alex Jones off of the airwaves.
Take away his social media.
Oh, it's a conspiracy theory.
I made it up.
Alex Jones is patient zero.
Jones has asked the Seneca families to vote for a bankruptcy settlement that would have paid them $55 million, which I don't even have, but I don't care about the money.
So I'll say it on air.
But they unanimously rejected the deal and offered their own proposal for selling the assets.
Now, here's the proposal.
And this is what's so naked, overhead shot.
So people can see this, please.
Just a straight shot of this.
While the liquidation will yield only a fraction of the money he owes the families in a kangaroo court, they objected to his proposal because it would have kept him in control of both InfoWars and his wealth for many years, while also capping the total amount that he would pay towards the defamation case.
Alex Jones is patient zero.
Here is Reuters, where they admit they tried to shut me down and then.
It didn't happen.
And then I've got the Daily Mail with Chris Maddy saying Jones made all this up.
Jones claimed he was manufacturing a crisis.
Overhead shot.
A little clean shot on that.
A manufactured, it's made up.
Nobody's trying to shut him down.
That's two weeks ago.
Now they're all over the news.
We want him shut down.
That's how stupid they think you are.
You're not stupid.
Alex Jones is patient zero.
So, when they shut us down, it wasn't a shutdown.
No one's censoring you.
No one's attacking you.
No pedophiles are coming after your kids.
The border's not wide open.
Remember, until a year ago, Biden said the border wasn't open.
And once none of that worked, he's like, well, of course it's open.
So, there you can see in their own words to the jury themselves saying, take his microphone away, silence him.
Default Judgments and Censorship00:14:57
This is what it was really about, which is why it should concern every American that they were able to do this.
And then, the more you look into it, the way in which they did this.
The first person to actually start bringing together plaintiffs to do this lawsuit was an FBI agent who worked behind the scenes to gather this up and who Alex Jones never mentioned.
This is another aspect of it.
Typically, in defamation, certainly in Texas, where one of the cases was, you have to actually say the person's name.
That's why people will go, well, a certain guy of a certain persuasion did this, because if you don't actually say their name, it can't actually be defamation.
There's this FBI agent who Alex Jones had never heard of, who Alex Jones had never mentioned, who some other person had, I guess, harassed this FBI agent.
The FBI agent figured out this person had been on Alex Jones' show one time, and so he decides it's Alex Jones' fault that he's being harassed and goes after him.
I mean, all of it is like this, it's all absurd.
And the fact that an FBI agent that Alex Jones never mentioned, didn't know who he was, and never heard of, never had any contact with, launches a defamation suit that ends in a $1.5 billion judgment, it's absurd.
So, how did it get to that $1.5 billion judgment?
Well, it was a default judgment.
If you don't know what a default judgment is, it's supposed to be, it's sort of an extreme reaction.
It's a sanction from the court that's supposed to be reserved for people who basically ignore the court entirely, right?
It's most often used in like divorce cases or child.
Custody cases where the dad's a deadbeat dad that just you can't get a hold of him.
You know, they'll sue the person, the guy never responds, never shows up to court, never defends himself, and they go, All right, well, I guess I'm siding in the side of the plaintiff because what are you going to do if you can't compel the guy to respond?
Okay, we'll do a default judgment.
So it's typically reserved for these extreme cases of non communication, non compliance, all this sort of stuff.
That is not what happened with Alex Jones.
With Alex Jones and InfoWars, they gave him a default judgment in both cases on the flimsiest.
Excuses.
They demanded things that did not exist and then gave them a default judgment for not providing the things that didn't exist.
If you think I'm exaggerating, I'm literally not exaggerating in the slightest.
They demanded things like marketing material that just Inforce doesn't have.
It just doesn't exist.
They were sort of in a way treating us as if we're like CNN or something.
We have a division that's the marketing division and they handle ad sales and they make sure to communicate to the production team what needs to be said when and what's doing well where.
That doesn't exist.
It doesn't happen.
So, when they demand documents that don't exist, what are we supposed to do?
So, it was a default judgment.
And this default judgment was massive, sweeping, completely outrageous, and yet they still hold a jury trial.
Well, what was the jury there if the judge declared Alex Jones guilty and declared that he wasn't able to defend himself?
He literally was prevented from doing things like referencing the First Amendment on the stand.
Not able to reference the politicians like Hillary Clinton that were involved in this lawsuit in one form or another.
And by the way, these lawsuits were being conducted by the biggest Democrat law firms in the entire world, including Hillary Clinton's personal law firm and a law firm that Donald Trump issued an executive order against because they had committed malfeasance against him and that they had to agree to perform $40 million worth of pro bono work for Donald Trump to avoid being sanctioned by the government.
It's this same law firm doing the same thing to Alex Jones that they did to Donald Trump, even significantly worse.
But, you know, still, these are the types of people we're talking about.
This was a political attack against a political enemy.
And we can go to this next clip.
It's another clip from me on InfoWars.
Clip number four, talking about and showing you that you can research this yourself.
Go ask AI why was Alex Jones given a default judgment?
Let's watch.
This, according to Grok, is why we received a default judgment.
We're not allowed to defend ourselves.
Jones was ordered in 2019 and 2020 to produce financial records, web analytics like Google Analytics, and marketing data showing how InfoWars profited from Sandy Hook content.
They wanted us to provide them evidence that we were guilty.
By mid 2021, he turned over only sanitized or partial records, e.g., fragmented sales figures with no context about Sandy Hook related revenue.
Well, we don't have context about Sandy Hook related revenue.
We talk about all sorts of things.
Our callers call in and bring something up.
People go to the store sometimes, they don't go to the store other times.
It just has no bearing on what we cover or how we cover it.
For instance, in a June 2021 hearing, they argued he hadn't disclosed contacts or communications with advertisers tied to Sandy Hook broadcasts.
What the hell does that mean?
We haven't disclosed contacts with advertisers about Sandy.
We don't have advertisers.
We don't have any contacts with advertisers.
We have the Alex Jones store.
Back then, we had the Infowars store.
We had maybe a gold person or whatever.
But again, they're asking for something that doesn't exist.
And then they're giving us a default judgment when we don't provide the records that don't exist.
We've got the crew that produces the show.
I gather all the news.
It's all freeform, it's all spur of the moment, edge of the seat.
I mean, that's how we do things.
There's no law against doing things that way.
Then they go in and say, Well, where's your internal communications where you talk about how covering Sandy Hook gets you more money?
What?
That doesn't exist.
Oh, you're withholding that, are you?
Default judgment.
We own your life now.
That's literally what happened, all right?
Either give us things that prove you're guilty or we will declare you're guilty.
Tip of the iceberg, folks.
And it really is.
The more you look into every aspect of this, everything about this trial is that ridiculous.
And so, again, as we finish up here, Understand that that was just the very beginning.
Then they have a show trial where they have a jury who has been told Alex Jones is guilty.
You're not deciding whether he's guilty or innocent.
He's guilty, but we're going to haul him up on the stand.
We're going to present evidence.
It's going to look like a trial.
At the end of it, all the jury is going to decide is how much he owes.
Is it a hell of a lot or just a little bit of a lot?
Like that's what was decided.
And so, you know, people look at that and they think, well, there's a jury.
He had a chance to defend himself.
He's up there on the stand.
He was never afforded an opportunity to.
Opportunity to defend himself.
Do you know what we call that, folks?
That's a show trial.
And this confuses people because I go, it was a show trial.
And they go, but it was a jury.
And I go, yeah, it's got to look like a trial.
That's the point of a show trial.
Do you think the Nazis or the Soviets, when they would hold show trials, they wouldn't make it look like a real trial?
That's the whole point.
Of course, it has to look like a real trial.
It's just completely rigged from the beginning to serve the powers that be.
I mean, it's really not that complicated.
And so they get this default judgment.
They get the $1.5 billion settlement, which was predicated on a completely fraudulent economic survey of InfoWars and Alex Jones.
It said he had hundreds of millions of dollars that never even existed.
But regardless, they used that as a basis for charging him billions of dollars that literally don't exist.
So he's forced to sell his house.
He's forced to sell everything he owns.
He's forced to give up his bank account.
He's forced to give up InfoWars itself.
And remember, through all of this, Infowars had provided them literally their like QuickBook exports.
Like everything, all of the books, all of the bank accounts, everything they could possibly want was provided.
They just kept demanding more and it didn't exist.
And so then they said it's a default judgment.
Completely fraudulent, totally rigged.
Again, in my opinion, and from my non legal perspective, all of this seems pretty evident.
And you can go research it yourself to find out more.
So then, basically, Alex Jones is forced to sell InfoWars, but it has to go to auction.
Legally, they got to follow these processes.
And we all know how auctions work, right?
People put in their best bid.
There's different ways, but the way this one worked is you just put in one bid, and then the auctioneer was supposed to decide which bid was the best.
Bigger one.
But something else happens instead.
You have The Onion and Bloomberg, and these big money lawyers behind the scenes go and work with the auctioneer and rig the auction.
And they do it in such a flagrant way that the auctioneer comes out and says, The Onion wins.
They own InfoWars.
And the judge looks at it and goes, No way.
This was not fair.
This was not a real auction.
Which, again, this is a multi million dollar auction for a major media piece.
This is a major First Amendment case.
And yet, they were doing things that you wouldn't accept at the livestock auction down the road, at the livestock show.
It's crazy.
You can't have the auctioneer collaborating with one of the buyers to take a lower price because you agree with them.
It's absurd.
And you would think the solution to that would be hey, you collaborated with this guy and offered, because basically, The Onion offered $1.4 million.
The people that were aligned with Alex offered $3 something million.
And they went with the Onion people, which is less money.
1.4 is less than three.
And so, what should have happened probably is they should have said, no, that agreement with the Onion is totally null and void.
That's totally illegal to do that.
You've got to give it to the next highest bidder.
For some reason, they didn't do that.
For some reason, they said, ah, you know what, the auction just doesn't count.
Kind of weird.
I don't know why that would be the case, but that's what they did.
And so then Alex Jones just sort of left in limbo for like two years.
We're just under the control of a receiver from the court.
And they eventually just start turning off the utilities and saying, we're no longer going to be paying for the electricity or the rent.
For InfoWars, just sort of shutting InfoWars down de facto, not through a court order, not because that's actually a process of law, but they just sort of did it.
And then the Onion comes in and again tries to do this weird thing where they buy it behind the scenes illegally, even though they didn't win the auction.
They go out onto the mainstream media and tell everybody, We own InfoWars.
InfoWars is ours.
We're in the studio.
It's totally untrue, totally untrue.
A flagrant, absolute lie.
That they just tell on TV over and over, and people believe them, and it harms our business, which legally, you know, who they're actually harming is the people that the plaintiffs who would be paid out from what we're making.
Every step of the way, it's been this ridiculous.
Every step of the way, it's been rigged.
And every step of the way, the people doing it are motivated by a desire to crush the independent spirit in America, to make an example of Alex Jones, to silence a political enemy.
And every step of the way, they have failed.
They failed because Alex Jones saw it coming, because they can't help themselves.
They honestly can't help themselves.
They have so much money.
I mean, the same people sued Remington and got $70 million.
And yet, when it comes time to do the auction, they can't just offer $4 million to beat the $3 million bid.
They have to go in.
And what they do is they bring in these high powered lawyers who go into some federal bankruptcy auctioneer guy who basically is just selling tractors and RVs all day and is just sort of a small time kind of facilitator of these things.
And they come in with these multi million dollar lawyers who sit them down and go, here's what we're going to do.
This is a really sophisticated legal maneuver we're going to do, and we're going to take money from over this.
And there's a settlement over here that has money that will be future revenue that we'll put over here.
And they just basically bamboozle them and get them to go along with this.
And it's all totally fraudulent and doesn't make any sense.
And they just can't help themselves.
If they were just doing normal, they just go, oh, the bid's $3 million, here's $4 million.
They would have had InfoWars two years ago.
If The Onion had just quietly made a deal behind the scenes to buy InfoWars and hadn't gone out on mainstream media and announced it to everybody two weeks before it would have even happened, they probably would have gotten away with that too.
It's like they can't help themselves.
They have to try to do it in a weaselly way, they have to try to do it in an underhanded and dishonest way, and it screws them over at the end.
And so, again, this story has been, in my opinion, and I really am shocked at the lack of concern about what's going on in the legal profession, in like free speech activists.
Where is the concern about how a major media, independent media company in America has been systematically destroyed through the legal process in a way that is now being replicated against people like Mike Lindell of MyPillow fame?
They did the same thing to him.
Filed a lawsuit, they default judgment, don't give him a chance to defend himself, and put him on the hook for a billion dollars.
It is a system they're creating to eliminate competition, eliminate outsiders, and silence people they want to silence.
You have to be aware of how they're doing this and how to fight back and how to defeat it.
And what we should have is punishment for the people that tried to pull this off so they don't try to do it again in the future.
This is an extremely important story that we should all be concerned about and that we should all tell people about.
And for a final clip here, just before we go, I want to go to one of the people that they brought up on the stand.
To actually testify to the power and influence of Alex Jones, because that's what this was all about.
This was a person they brought on who was a disinformation expert who apparently studied thousands of articles, thousands of essays, thousands of research studies by thousands of students all over the country who all day, every day are studying the movements of Alex Jones and InfoWars like a general studies the movements of an enemy general, trying to defeat them, trying to figure out how it is that Alex Jones and InfoWars are so successful and how do we put an end to that success.
So, this is what it was all about.
At the end of the day, this is why they targeted Alex Jones.
This is why they banned him in 2018.
This is why they launched the lawsuits.
And this is why they hate him because he was successful, because he was influential.
And he was successful and influential because he was honest, forthright, entertaining, and above all, pro American.
Let's go to clip number three here.
This is the disinformation expert that they brought up to explain to the jury why Alex Jones had to be destroyed for good.
Let's watch.
It is difficult to overstate Alex Jones' role in spreading anti-government conspiracy theories.
In 2011, a Rolling Stone article stated that Jones draws a bigger audience online than Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck combined.
In 2016, The Washington Post reported that Jones claimed 5 million daily listeners.
His YouTube channel, The Alex Jones Channel, has 56 videos with more than 1 million views each.
Standing Up for Free Speech00:05:18
I was about to read the citation.
That's the end of the quote.
In the study, when it says that it's difficult to overstate Alex Jones' role in spreading anti-government conspiracy theories, is that consistent with your research and work in this case?
Yes, it is.
Can you explain why?
Yes.
When scholars are looking at different producers of media online, I mean, there's a range of factors that we'll look at, but I would say that two of the most important ones are analyzing the content itself.
So what is this person saying?
What ideas are they promoting?
And another equally important aspect is what is the size of their audience, or even beyond their poor audience, what's the size of their reach?
And in terms of combining the types of disinformation that Alex Jones promotes and the size and scale of his audience, I can't think of another person working in media who is comparable to him.
He's unparalleled in terms of that combination.
So that's the reason they wanted to take him out.
And that's the reason you have to stand up for your First Amendment.
And again, I'm not here as a spokesman for InfoWars right now.
I'm just trying to relate to you what has actually occurred over the last couple of years in what I consider to be probably the most important free speech case in American history and one of the most educational cases, one of the most informative cases you could ever study to find out the methods by which the current American legal system can be manipulated to dishonest and oppressive ends.
So it's so important that.
We support people that are out there fighting the good fight and recognize that you got to fight them.
You know, maybe you'll lose.
Maybe at the end of the day, they win.
Infowars is shut down.
But you know what you do?
You launch the Alex Jones Network the next day.
You keep fighting, or you just cling on with your teeth and your fingernails and you just say, if you're going to take me down, it's going to be a fight.
If you're going to come after me, it's not going to be easy.
You may win at the end of the day.
You may take us down, but we sure as hell aren't going to go easy and we aren't going to be intimidated by your.
You know, faux confidence that you control everything.
We know you don't.
We know you're just human beings.
We know you're fallen like the rest of us, and we know you can be defeated.
And you can be defeated easily because we have this secret weapon called the truth on our side.
So, again, this has been a very different episode than we'll normally do with Off Limits News.
Next week, I'll be back here with a stack of stories that have occurred in the next seven days now, but we'll do a weekend review, top stories.
We'll go through whatever the latest news is, the hottest stories, the most Missed, you know, underreported stories out there.
But I really want to thank Joel for, you know, suggesting as the first episode sort of a comprehensive view of the case against Alex Jones and Infowars, as it is such an important series of events for people in America to understand.
And it also shows that this is what NXR Studios is going to be up against.
NXR Studios, of course, I just love the, the, I love the message that they're sending out.
I love the ambition.
I love the, I don't know, just the energy behind this is so powerful and infectious.
And we need more of these.
For every one they try to take down, three need to pop up.
And so I'm so excited to be doing this every week.
Every week we'll have about an hour episode.
I've gone a little long today and I may tend to do that.
But I hope that you found it educational and informative.
I hope you return next week to see what the biggest.
Stories of the week are.
We'll be, of course, taking your suggestions for things to cover.
We'd love for you to get involved, get informed, join us in NXR Studios, follow us on social media, give us feedback.
