Defiant Alex Jones Makes Startling Vow in Final InfoWars Broadcast: 'The Real War Begins Now'

Host Alex Jones signed off his final InfoWars broadcast on Thursday night after 27 years with a defiant vow to return even as a long-running legal battle over his media properties edges toward the courts final say.
The shutdown comes as a dispute over the future of InfoWars moves through the courts, with satirical outlet The Onion seeking to take control of the brand that was liquidated in efforts to compensate families of the Sandy Hook school shooting victims, who won more than $1.3 billion in defamation judgments against Jones.
A Texas appeals court this week granted Jones a temporary reprieve, delaying any immediate takeover and pushing the fight toward the states supreme court. Meanwhile, a court-appointed receiver overseeing Joness assets has ceased covering operational costs, forcing the closure of the Austin studio.
Theyre turning the power off at midnight, Jones said during the final broadcast, standing alongside staff who gathered with drinks to mark the moment. Private detectives are coming in to close the doors. And theyre gonna act like theyve got their big ass victory.

(11,386 posts)Face it, all he needs is a laptop, a cheap microphone and headset, and a Starbucks, and he can rant all that he wants to.
He is just having a sad because he isn't relevant anymore. Because he is not rich.
See, only the rich are relevant. and, he is no longer among the anointed.
That is why he is crying. That is why he is being so defiant.
I hope he is ready. Looking at his recent images, he does not look ready.
Some people never forget. And, FAFO is a bitch.

(795 posts)had Noam Chomsky, Chris Hedges, Gore Vidal and other lefties on his show. I saw some video of him back at that time interviewing Ralph Nader, and Jones was clearly in awe of Nader.
He was good at radio, and I would occasionally listen to him, especially when he had a great guest on. However, he was conspiratorial, and after Sandy Hook in 2012, it was clear that there was something deeply wrong with him. After all that the parents of Sandy Hook had suffered, he made it much worse. The best theory I have is he did it for the money.
He then became a strong supporter and shill for Trump, until recently. He is still a shill for the Republican party and far right extremists. In many ways he's much worse than Trump. Trump is Trump, like a snake is a snake and doesn't know any better. Alex Jones is smart enough to know better, but is so greedy and malevolent that he just doesn't care.
He is truly an awful human being, akin to Joseph Goebbels -- a monster.

Keep the krazy rants coming--just more material for The Onion to satirize!

Okay not Alex Jones. Steve Bannon. Probably the same brain regions get activated at the site sight of either..actually I have no idea. The old noggin has been through hell. Hopefully neither one runs a brain mapping site as that would be a bad idea.
This is a strange time in neuroscience. And left or right with human errors documented by the net being subverted to justify more rot, it should be remembered that evolution perfects over long time scales, enlightenment values have lead to industrialized life becoming less hellish (voting rights act, roe v wase..I have barely any brain cells left for my field and for energy beyond common sense and the point is that a more enlightened version of the stuff that was all kicked out because it was bad is lame..I am not mocking anyone so much as avoiding thought terminating cliches).
Why would anyone teach young people to think like this? Those splashy kids will now inherit the earth. I was lucky in finding a decent woman at least, married to the typical, low quality, decent, elite male.
But you cannot do away with real elites.
Its guys like Alex Pentland and Sebastian Thrun who should be chucked out. Where there is wailing and gnashing of teeth. Those are two genuinely mediocre douchebags. They are not elite. They are daft.
