YouTube bans Alex Jones and Nick Fuentes AGAIN immediately after saying it would support 'free expression'



Less than two days after YouTube was alleged to be giving banned creators a second chance, the platform has reportedly banned controversial commentators Nick Fuentes and Alex Jones.

The news comes after Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) made announcements about how Google, parent of YouTube, was prepared to make a series of policy changes after admitting to the fact that "White House pressure" during the Biden administration led to censorship of "political debate on COVID and elections."

'To clarify, we terminated this channel as it's still against our rules for previously terminated users to start a new channel ...'

Rep. Jordan wrote on X, "Due to our oversight efforts, GOOGLE commits to offer ALL creators previously kicked off YouTube due to political speech violations to return to the platform."

Testing out the new alleged commitments, both Alex Jones' Infowars platform and Fuentes reportedly started new YouTube channels. According to Infowars, it started a channel called AlexJonesLive, while Fuentes reportedly started RealNickFuentes.

On Thursday morning, Infowars said its channel had been removed, while AF Post, along with some Fuentes supporters, said his page was taken down by YouTube as well.

It was not long before YouTube responded to both claims directly and revealed that the pages were not taken down by mistake.

Replying to Infowars, YouTube said, "To clarify, we terminated this channel as it's still against our rules for previously terminated users to start a new channel — the pilot program for terminations isn't available yet and will be a limited pilot program to start."

The platform added, "We'll have more to share on how the pilot program will work, who is eligible, and how creators can access it very soon."

In response to the report by AF Post, YouTube similarly wrote that the company "terminated these channels as it's still against our rules for previously terminated users to start new channels."

On its own X page, YouTube explained again that the pilot program is not yet live and that it will continue to terminate "new channels from previously terminated users in accordance with these guidelines."

A spokesman for Rep. Jordan told Blaze News that the new YouTube program will only "extend at a minimum to any users banned for policies no longer in effect."

The spokesman added, "The policies that have been rolled back the most were the COVID-19 and elections policies. This will include thousands of Americans and likely disproportionately conservatives. Others may be welcomed back onto the platform as well."

Jordan's office explained that, as they understand it, YouTube meant that the "limited" portion of the program referred to only users who were banned for policies that were no longer in effect. Still, Jordan's team referred to this as a "massive change," stating they believe it to be the first time YouTube has made a policy shift in this manner.

"But the main fact remains unchanged," the spokesman continued. "ANY account banned for policies no longer in effect WILL be allowed back onto the platform."

Blaze News asked Rep. Jordan's team if they know when the expected pilot program is set to begin; his team said they did not, but that they "expect a much larger announcement in the coming days from YouTube and that people will start returning to the platform soon."

"Our understanding is that YouTube is referring to it as a pilot program because it is a new step YouTube has not taken before, and there may be issues to work through with the rollout," the spokesman added.

Fuentes spoke on his channel's deletion his X page on Thursday, noting YouTube's comment about reinstating "channels they approve under a 'limited pilot program.'"

"Sounds a little ridiculous. Can't we just have free speech?" he asked. "I've been banned since February 2020 when I was 21 years old."

He continued on his show, "America First," and revealed it was Jones' idea to do a "stress test" on YouTube by creating new accounts.

"It didn't last even 12 hours," he explained. "YouTube should have free speech; you said you have a renewed commitment to free speech. But you're still banning people?"

Vivek Ramaswamy, Republican candidate for governor of Ohio, said that while he thinks Fuentes may not like him, he still finds it "un-American" for his channel to be removed.

"Our country is at its best when we're able to hear one another," Ramaswamy wrote on X. "Nick Fuentes & Jimmy Kimmel probably don't like me, for different reasons. I don't care. It's still un-American to muzzle the peaceful expression of opinions. And no, that's not a legal point, it's a cultural point."

YouTube did not respond to Blaze News' questions about its pilot program.

Rebel filmmaker unmasks Hollywood’s creative stranglehold on America’s cultural voice



Alex Lee Moyer is a filmmaker, director, and editor, but unlike most cinematic creatives, she isn’t defined by Hollywood capture.

Her edge? Telling the stories nobody wants to touch. “TFW No GF” (2020) dives headfirst into the isolation and alienation of young men in digital subcultures, like incels and Frogtwitter, while “Alex’s War” (2022) explores the rise and impact of controversial media figure Alex Jones.

But neither of these films aims to sway the viewer in any specific direction.

“I'm not trying to make propaganda films. I'm just trying to get to the heart of things ... that people, including myself, have anxiety about,” she told BlazeTV host Nicole Shanahan on a recent episode of “Back to the People.”

Moyer isn’t interested in portraying someone like Alex Jones, for example, as the good guy or the bad guy. “More importantly, he’s a guy. He’s a real person. ... Demystifying some of those [controversial] topics can actually kind of bring people together in conversation,” she says.

Ironically, Moyer’s pursuit of facts would have been considered “a liberal cause” just a few years ago. But after the COVID-19 pandemic, things changed. The hyper politicization of today’s culture has caused her work, which is intentionally apolitical, to be falsely labeled as “right wing.”

“The Hollywood narrative is so narrow right now that if you're outside of it, you're somehow unworthy or irresponsible or unethical,” says Nicole.

The reason we see so many films driven by left-wing political agendas is because high-up executives in the industry have an incredible amount of sway. “In order for something to get made, it has to go through so many different filters,” says Moyer, “and it's not just about whether somebody perceives offense themselves. It has a lot to do with whether they think their boss, or you know, somebody at the streaming platform is going to take offense.”

“Hollywood is not going to be taking any risks — not when you have threats from AI, not when you have threats from appeasing people in other countries like China or ... not wanting to run afoul of the homogeny of liberalism in Hollywood. There's a lot of things that keep them locked in place,” she explains.

While many are tempted to relegate Hollywood to an irredeemable ash heap, both Moyer and Nicole argue it plays a critical role in society.

“We should care about what happens there because it's one of the great sources of soft power for the United States, and it helps forge our identity here and in the rest of the world,” says Moyer.

Nicole agrees, stating, “A failure of Hollywood is a big deal, and a Hollywood that doesn't represent America and American culture and ideals is scary.”

Instead of crossing her fingers hoping for a Hollywood revolution, Moyer is taking matters into her own hands. In late 2023, she founded her own production company called Onset Creative.

The company’s aim, she says, is “to focus first and foremost on developing projects that [cannot] be made anywhere else that reflect the cultural moment, namely the present and the recent past.”

To hear about Moyer’s next documentary “The Technologists” — an honest look into the rapidly advancing world of artificial intelligence and its cultural impacts — watch the full interview above.

Liberals conveniently forget how many people they've canceled in the last decade



Liberals are up in arms about Jimmy Kimmel's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" getting suspended by broadcaster ABC, claiming conservatives have been hypocritical over the ordeal.

Kimmel found himself in hot water after claiming that Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin was of the same political tribe as Kirk, saying, "The MAGA gang [is] desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it."

'Remember when you and your wife called Bob Iger to have me fired?'

Even President Barack Obama has spoken out about Kimmel, saying on X, "After years of complaining about cancel culture," the Trump administration has "taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn't like."

However, the liberal elites and their late-night mouthpieces have seemingly forgotten about the high-profile cancellations that have occurred in recent years, especially those involving people on the other side of the political spectrum.

For instance, Roseanne Barr had her iconic 2018 comeback stymied over what were considered by the media to be "racist tweets."

Barr's show "Roseanne" had a thunderous return to the very same airwaves as Kimmel on ABC, but even though she had the most-watched show of the year, she was still booted from her own creation.

Barr even responded to President Obama's post on Thursday, saying, "Remember when you and your wife called Bob Iger to have me fired?" referring to the CEO of the Walt Disney Company, which owns ABC.

The comedian is just one of many personalities who lost their jobs as a result of their speech.

Who can forget that Gina Carano, also employed by Disney, was fired in February 2021 after she made posts online that mocked the use of pronouns while also criticizing COVID-19 policies?

She was promptly kicked from Disney's "The Mandalorian," with studio Lucasfilm saying, "Her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable."

Tucker Carlson was famously fired by Fox News in April 2023 for what some say was a result of his hammering of the January 6, 2021, investigations. However, Carlson claimed his firing was a requirement of the $787.5 million settlement Fox had agreed to with Dominion Voting Systems.

Another conveniently forgotten cancellation from the left was Alex Jones, who was simultaneously taken off of every major platform in 2018. YouTube, Apple, Spotify, and Facebook all took Jones' Infowars off their sites for allegedly promoting violence and hate speech.

Jones' take on Sandy Hook, Comet Pizza, and the Parkland, Florida, shootings were cited as reasons for removing Jones not from just radio stations, but from entire platforms that are meant to be public for all.

Author J.K. Rowling was blacklisted from a reunion for her own project in 2021 over her unwillingness to accept males as females. She was also banned from certain "Harry Potter" projects for the same reason.

Almost every star of "Harry Potter" has condemned Rowling's comments and views, which have amounted to, essentially, not wanting trans-identifying men to be allowed in women's spaces.

Liberals certainly did not shed any tears for Megyn Kelly when she was fired by NBC in 2018. The morning show host dared to say that if a non-black person wanted to dress as a black character for Halloween, it should be allowed.

"Truly, you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface at Halloween or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween. Back when I was a kid, that was OK, as long as you were dressing up as, like, a character," she said, per the Associated Press.

Leftists did not defend Kelly then and treated the situation as if she had been advocating for the mockery of all black people.

Last but not least, BlazeTV's own Glenn Beck departed from Fox News Channel in 2011 at the behest of Media Matters. In fact, not only did the activist group proudly claim the victory, but executives openly said they would monitor whoever replaced Beck.

"We monitor Beck's 5 p.m. show on Fox. Whoever is in at 5 p.m., we’re still going to monitor,” said Media Matters executive vice president Ari Rabin-Havt.

Though Beck was drawing in more than 2 million viewers per show at the time, Media Matters targeted the show's advertisers, which eventually caved.

Alex Jones’ daring infiltration of Bohemian Grove unmasks elitist pagan rituals and occult secrets



Every summer, the shadowy Bohemian Club — a private gentlemen’s society based in San Francisco — hosts a clandestine retreat called “Bohemian Grove” in Monte Rio, California, where highly influential men in politics, business, media, culture, and entertainment gather for two weeks on a secluded 2,700-acre private property deep in the redwood forests.

The event is shrouded in mystery — no paparazzi, no women, no entry without an invitation, and lots of whispers of strange rituals and elite networking.

Twenty-five years ago, Infowars founder Alex Jones snuck in and secretly recorded one of Bohemian Grove’s most cherished rituals: the "Cremation of Care.”

On a podcast with Glenn Beck, Jones shared the wild tale of his Bohemian Grove infiltration.

The Cremation of Care is a theatrical ceremony, where attendees burn an effigy before a large owl statue to symbolically banish worldly concerns for the duration of the retreat. It’s similar to how Burning Man attendees set fire to the “Temple” on the final day of the festival to represent letting go of personal burdens.

“It’s occultic, and there’s vibes of that everywhere,” says Jones of the event. He explains that Mark Twain founded Bohemian Grove in the late 1800s, but it was later taken over by the Republican establishment and Skull and Bones (a secret society at Yale University), which is what gives the gathering its secretive, Germanic, druidic, and Masonic character.

After sneaking in with Jon Ronson, a British journalist and documentary filmmaker, who gained access via an insider, Jones, having narrowly escaped inquisitive Secretive Service guards, hid under the deck of one of the cabins.

“I got into the woods, got to the first camp and nobody was there, and I climbed up underneath the log cabin deck, and there were like literally centipedes and spiders. It was like 'Indiana Jones Temple of Doom,'” he laughs.

At nightfall, he emerged from his hiding place and stealthily joined a large crowd walking toward the lake.

And then he beheld it: the infamous stone owl.

Jones paints a chilling scene straight from a thriller’s darkest frame — “big crowds of men coming in hundreds and hundreds,” descending a shadowy hill, dwarfed by towering redwoods so colossal their trunks could swallow cars whole. “Bats and frogs” stir the murky air with restless flutters and croaks, their eerie chorus blending with a live symphony’s foreboding rendition of “In the Hall of the Mountain King.”

Jones, trying to fly under the radar, then climbed into a redwood tree and recorded the “dramatic footage” of the burning ritual.

“They mixed in Babylonian, druidic, Canaanite, faustian stuff in the hour. They bring out a hearse that's horse drawn with the effigy of a child. They then call on the goddess to come and they call these other gods to come,” Jones recounts. “So it's kind of an amalgamation like the Bible says of all these religions.”

In retrospect, especially after receiving Bohemian Grove annals years later, Jones says he realized that famous people, including American broadcaster Walter Cronkite, played the voice of the owl. These voice actors were stationed inside the statue where they controlled sounds, such as amplified voices or eerie effects, to enhance the theatrical atmosphere.

“I'm not saying they're all devil worshipers ... it's more of a crazy art festival, but there is an occultic thing to it,” he tells Glenn.

The duo speculate that the majority of attendees are there just to have a good time, but the inner ring of people who control the event are indeed hosting legitimate pagan rituals, even if their guests aren’t aware.

Jones says the masterminds orchestrating the retreat use these two weeks to assess who among their guests might be of use to them. Jones recalls how most of the Bohemian Grove crowd was just having fun, but there were some, especially the official Bohemian Club members, who clearly took the ritual seriously. One man — “some billionaire,” he says — practically growled “this is a very important ritual” when Jones suggested it was a “neat” spectacle.

The members “were trying to transmute their problems onto this ritual” in hopes that “Karma” or some other vengeful deity would “pass over them,” he explains, calling the burning “very hardcore.”

“It was very sophisticated, very dark, [and] beyond black magic,” he says, explaining that the burning, like many ancient pagan rituals, aimed at casting one’s sins into an “interdimensional cauldron” before “[sending] it to another plane.” In other words, it’s the satanic version of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice that atoned for the sins of man.

MURDERED: Alex Jones reveals Infowars Reporter Jamie White killed in Texas



In a tragic turn of events, Infowars reporter Jamie White was murdered outside his apartment complex in South Austin this weekend.

The unknown assailant was reportedly attempting to break into White’s car and is not believed to be connected to his work, though the investigation is still ongoing. However, White’s boss, Alex Jones, believes there’s someone else to blame.

“You’re not going to be protected in 800-plus cities and jurisdictions the Democrats run. They’re monsters,” Jones said in a clip after the murder. “You murdered Jamie White. You opened the door, you created the climate, you created the conditions on purpose.”


“George Soros, Alexander Soros, you murdered Jamie White. Joe Biden, you murdered Jamie White. Democratic Party, Hakeem Jeffries, Al Green, you murdered Jamie White. They are accomplices to the murder of a great American and Infowars longtime veteran reporter, Jamie White,” he continued.

“President Trump needs to point his finger at the Austin scumbag DA and say, ‘You little monster, you are responsible, Jose Garza, just as much as the person or people that murdered our reporter,’” he added.

The hosts of “Normal World” are on the same page as Jones.

“I see what he’s saying,” ¼ Black Garrett tells his co-hosts. “He’s not saying specifically that they are doing it, but they are the ones that have the policies that are running the country, running this city that led to the danger, that led to his murder.”

“It’s not just a random attack, I wouldn’t think,” Angela counters.

“Devil’s advocate, it could be, because Austin is dangerous, it’s a run-down city in America. So yeah, it’s going to be dangerous,” Garrett responds.

Alex Jones blames Democrats, leftist DAs after Infowars reporter brutally murdered



Alex Jones, the founder of Infowars, railed against the leftist policies of the Democratic Party and Soros-funded district attorneys after one of his reporters was brutally murdered in Austin, Texas.

Just before midnight on Monday morning, Austin police received a call about a shooting or stabbing on the 2300 block of Douglas Street in South Austin. When they arrived, they found a victim with signs of "obvious trauma," according to KXAN, and raced him to the hospital, where he died shortly thereafter.

Though initial news reports about the homicide did not name the victim, Jones and other members of the Infowars team soon learned he was Jamie White, one of their own.

"We sent some people over this morning when [White] didn't answer the phone. He's always here early, loves to work, loves to fight tyranny, loves to promote freedom," Jones said in a video posted to X. "And when they got to the apartment complex, there was yellow tape everywhere and blood all over the parking lot."

Now that White's family has been notified, Jones said he felt compelled to share the news with the Infowars audience. Jones described White as the "best writer and reporter" at Infowars and a true American "patriot."

'I lay all of this squarely at the feet of these DAs and of the Soros crime syndicate and of the Democratic Party.'

For now, few details about White's murder have been released. "This is pretty early on in the investigation, and the homicide unit will be releasing more information as they're able," said Leah Ratliff, public information officer for the Austin Police Department, according to Newsweek.

No suspect has been identified, but Jones claimed that the soft-on-crime and "defund the police" policies embraced by Democrats — especially district attorneys like Jose Garza of Travis County, Texas, who were elected to office thanks in large part to funding from leftist billionaire George Soros and his various activist groups — led directly to White's death.

"I lay all of this squarely at the feet of these DAs and of the Soros crime syndicate and of the Democratic Party. They are the ones that administratively cut the police, prosecute the police, even in cases that are 100% clear to be lawful, legal activities. And then you wonder why we can't get enough police," Jones explained.

"You murdered Jamie White," he continued. "You opened the door. You created the climate. You created the conditions on purpose."

Jones did briefly hedge, noting, "I'm not saying a leftist killed Jamie," but still blamed leftists in general and Garza specifically for turning Austin into "a war zone." Jones called Garza perhaps the "worst" district attorney in America and "an actual communist."

"He literally in Zoom meetings calls other city employees 'comrades,'" Jones said of Garza. "... He's doing exactly what he was put in by Soros to do."

Newsweek reached out to Garza's office for comment.

According to various online tributes, White was born in 1988, which means he was either 36 or 37 when he died. "He won't get to live out the rest of his life, now cut short. A young man," Jones said of White.

In his last activity on social media, White retweeted Elon Musk's comments on the nexus of violence, liberalism, and the mainstream media.

"Yeah, why are liberals so violent? Legacy media propaganda is a major part of the problem," Musk wrote.

Screenshot of Jamie White retweet

Jones assured his listeners that "justice" will be served and that White will never be forgotten.

"We pledge that Jamie’s tragic death will not be in vain, and those responsible for this senseless violence will be brought to justice," Jones posted to X.

"Jamie’s important work will be carried on through Infowars, our readers, and our cherished listeners."

Alex Jones thanks Glenn Beck for over a decade of warning about USAID's problematic anti-American agenda



The left is apoplectic after President Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and DOGE’s Elon Musk are taking a giant axe to USAID, the federal agency tasked with administering humanitarian aid and development assistance in foreign countries.

As USAID-funded programs across the globe are shut down and agency employees are laid off by the thousands as a result of Trump’s 90-day funding freeze, the deep state and its media arm is creating a narrative characterized by suffering children, spreading disease, and outbreaks of violence.

But the truth is USAID has been rife with corruption, incompetence, and an anti-American agenda for a long time. Rather than furthering education, democracy, and civil society and using funds to address poverty, disease, and disaster, many of the programs funded by USAID dollars have been funneled into radical left-wing and anti-American causes.

Nobody knows this better than Glenn Beck, who’s been sounding the alarm on USAID misconduct since 2013 when he displayed a picture of armed Al-Qaeda soldiers in a USAID tent on Fox News.

Glenn recently tweeted a montage of his warnings about USAID over the years with the caption: “Ignore the panic from the Deep State over @DOGE and Trump targeting USAID. I've been telling you for OVER A DECADE it’s a scam agency and CIA front behind regime changes all over the world, using YOUR tax dollars.”

This morning, Infowars’ Alex Jones retweeted Glenn’s montage, thanking him for being the “number one force” exposing USAID corruption.

Judge rejects the Onion's bid for Infowars, calling it 'doomed' after cancellation of live auction



The Onion, a Chicago-based liberal satire publication that was recently purchased by longtime Democratic donor Jeff Lawson, attempted to acquire the assets of Alex Jones' Infowars empire last month in a court-ordered bankruptcy auction. Gun-grab activists and other leftists celebrated the news that the Onion had supposedly won the auction with an apparently suboptimal bid. Ben Collins, the CEO of the Onion's parent company Global Tetrahedron, promised he would turn the platform into a "cosmic joke."

Collins' punitive plans were tripped up by the Houston bankruptcy judge involved the case, district Judge Christopher Lopez, who paused the acquisition and reportedly said, "No one should feel comfortable with the results of this auction."

After weeks of uncertainty about the fate of the sale, Lopez rejected the Onion's bid Tuesday evening, ruling the auction process unfair and noting that money was left on the table.

Lopez said that Christopher Murray, the court-appointed trustee who is liquidating Jones' estate, failed both to run a transparent auction process and to provide a rival bidder associated with Jones, First United American Companies, an opportunity to improve its bid, reported NBC News.

'It clearly was and must have been the subject of conspiratorial negotiation and agreement.'

"I think you've got to go out and try to get every dollar," said the judge. "I think that the process fell down."

According to the Washington Post, FUAC's $3.5 million bid was nearly double the Onion's supposedly winning cash bid. FUAC, an organization affiliated with Jones' supplements business, argued in court that its higher bid should have prevailed and that Murray improperly picked the Onion's bid.

Lawyers for FUAC and Jones raised concerns about fraud and collusion, questioning how auctioneer Jeff Tanenbaum valued the Onion's $1.75 million cash and incentives bid at $7 million and why a live action had been spiked.

They also complained about a gross lack of transparency, claiming, for instance, that "no announcement was ever made that joint bids, bifurcated bids, floating amounts or other form of non-final 'best and highest' bid structures was even in the contemplation of the Trustee and the Defendants, which it clearly was and must have been the subject of conspiratorial negotiation and agreement."

Jones raised some of these concerns with Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck last month, alleging that the initial sale of Infowars was "100% cut-and-dry illegal."

— (@)

Lopez reportedly said when delivering his decision, "I don't think anyone acted in bad faith here. I think everyone was trying to buy an asset and put their best foot forward and play by the rules."

'It's like being held under water and finally getting air.'

"It seemed doomed almost from the moment they decided to go to a sealed bid," said Lopez, reported the New York Times. "Nobody knows what anybody else is bidding."

According to Bloomberg, the decision means Jones could remain in control of the platform.

In a statement shared by Collins on X, the Onion, which previously mocked the death of Corey Comperatore, noted, "We are deeply disappointed in today's decision, but The Onion will continue to seek a resolution that helps the Sandy Hook families receive a positive outcome for the horror they endured. We will also continue to seek a path towards purchasing InfoWars in the coming weeks."

Chris Mattei, an attorney for the families who backed the Onion's bid, said in a statement obtained by the Post, "This decision doesn't change the fact that, soon, Alex Jones will begin to pay his debt to these families and he will continue doing so for as long as it takes."

Jones rushed to broadcast the news on a platform still out of Collins' reach, stating, "Finally, a judge followed the law in the lawfare fiascos and ruled in Infowars' favor."

"It's like being held under water and finally getting air," added Jones.

'They're trying to destroy us and destroy free speech.'

Jones also suggested that the coalition involved with the Onion's bid colluded to rig their bid and that there was cause for legal action and possibly a Department Justice investigation.

"Now, the judge told them 27 days ago Bloomberg's Everytown that turned out is the group behind it — the Onion's, their front group — he told them they didn't own it and he said, 'Stop saying that.' They did not stop. Major cause of action." said Jones. "And I'm not a litigious person, but they're trying to destroy us and destroy free speech, so you know what's going to happen to them and Michael Bloomberg, Mr. Baby Feet."

Court freezes Onion deal for Infowars: Alex Jones exclusively responds on 'Glenn Beck Program'



As our nation looks forward to turning the page into a new era following the clear mandate for freedom in the recent election, the existing regime is not going quietly into the night.

Alex Jones’ Infowars has allegedly been acquired by the satire site the Onion in a court-ordered bankruptcy auction. Developments on Friday have cast doubt on the legitimacy of this acquisition, however.

Thanks to X, he moved studios and was able to immediately start broadcasting again.

On Thursday, there were reports that the Onion had acquired Alex Jones’ Infowars. By late Friday morning, Alex Jones released a statement alleging that the auction for his assets was fake and that there is now an ongoing criminal investigation into the proceedings. Infowars.com is once again live after being taken down from Thursday into Friday morning.

According to BBC News, the Onion bought Infowars with the support of the families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims, who won a $1.5 billion defamation lawsuit over Jones’ claims surrounding the school shooting. Financial details have not been disclosed.

Ben Collins, the CEO of the Onion, is reported to have said, “The Onion has a long history of helping the American public navigate some of the most difficult moments in American life, from our historic issue after 9/11 to our groundbreaking reportage after every American mass shooting. In that tradition, we hope the Sandy Hook families will be able to marvel at the cosmic joke we will soon make of Infowars.com.”

On X, Collins posted, “We're planning on making a very stupid website.”

Everytown for Gun Safety, the largest gun violence prevention organization, will reportedly be “the exclusive launch advertiser for the site in the new venture.” John Feinblatt, the president of Everytown for Gun Safety, said, “It’s fitting that a platform once used to profit off of tragedy will be a tool of education, hence our multiyear advertising commitment to this new venture.”

He went on: “We’re proud to be a part of what comes next, not only in terms of staunching the flow of hurtful misinformation, but also for the potential this new venture has to help Everytown reach new audiences ready to hold the gun industry accountable for contributing to our nation’s gun violence epidemic.”

It is almost poetic that a gun control organization is partnering with the Onion in this attack on free speech. The First Amendment was listed first for a reason, yet the Second Amendment is listed immediately afterward as a fail-safe in the event of egregious violations of the First Amendment. Keeping that in mind, the fight for the First Amendment is not over.

Alex Jones posted a video update on his X account, saying, “This is a total attack on free speech.” He also said, “They want to silence the American people, but we’re not gonna be silenced.” He then directed his viewers to follow the Alex Jones Network on X, where he will continue to speak out against what is happening to Infowars.

However, Jones posted later in the day Thursday that the auction was not legitimate: “Infowars was not sold to the The Onion. I am breaking the news now.” According to the Independent, the judge involved in the case, District Judge Christopher Lopez, said, “No one should feel comfortable with the results of this auction.”

Since this news story broke, it was revealed that the auction’s process was questionable and is now under review. As the Independent reports, bidders were required to submit their best offers, yet the amounts of these offers were not disclosed. “The trustee who ran the auction said the total amount was a better deal overall but came in under First United American’s [Alex Jones’ proxy] $3.5 million offer.”

Therefore, the auction results are paused. The judge explained the next steps in this case: “We’re all going to an evidentiary hearing, and I’m going to figure out exactly what happened.” He added: “I personally don’t care who wins the auction. … I care about process and transparency.”

The shadiness of these developments in this story seem to confirm the true motivations behind this acquisition. Many opponents of Alex Jones take issue with him being able to speak at all, it seems. For example, an NBC anchor discussing the acquisition said, “His X account will remain — for now, at least.” While this reporter is not related to the case, it seems to be implied that the main issue is not the legal acquisition of Infowars as an asset in the defamation case but rather Alex Jones’ ability to speak out on a platform at all.

— (@)

Today, Alex Jones called "The Glenn Beck Program" to break down some of the latest developments. Jones alleges the court is trying to prevent him from broadcasting in the future. He also alleges to Beck that there was a secret sale to subvert the auction and alleges a deep state plot to take him off the air forever.

The social media landscape has completely changed the idea of a platform, which means that even the most vindictive attacks on a well-established platform are somewhat ineffective. While the defamation lawsuit and the subsequent auction for Jones’ assets were a blow to Jones’ image and security, his ability to continue speaking freely is relatively unchanged. Thanks to X, he moved studios and was able to start broadcasting again immediately.

Now, the relative ease that Jones had in moving his platform and broadcast will reveal something very interesting in our political landscape going forward. Anyone who has a problem with this fact is fundamentally opposed to free speech. Free speech and the First Amendment are the first bulwarks against tyranny.

This is a developing story that will be updated.

Satire site the Onion wins auction for Infowars, vows to make Alex Jones' empire a 'cosmic joke' for Sandy Hook families



The Onion, the satirical publication, won an auction to acquire the assets of Alex Jones' Infowars empire. The CEO of the Onion has vowed to transform Infowars into a "cosmic joke" for the families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting.

Jones announced the transaction on Thursday morning in a video posted to the X social media platform.

'The dissolution of Alex Jones’ assets and the death of Infowars is the justice we have long awaited and fought for.'

Jones stated that his website had been "shut down" this morning "even without a court order."

The Infowars site is a black page that only reads: "Site unavailable till further notice."

Jones said he was told that the winning bid was "competitive" but not necessarily the highest bid. Financial details of the winning bid to acquire Free Speech Systems — the parent company of Infowars — were not disclosed.

Jones noted, "The Connecticut Democrats with the Onion newspaper bought us."

The Onion acquired Infowars' website, social media accounts, trademarks, video archive, and studio in Austin, Texas.

"I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm going to be here until they turn the lights off," Jones declared.

Jones added, "They want to silence the American people, but we're not going to be silenced."

Infowars was put up for auction after the court-appointed trustee in charge of Jones' bankruptcy proceedings advocated to shut down the site and liquidate his assets.

Jones filed for bankruptcy in late 2022 after juries ordered him to pay nearly $1.5 billion to families of victims of the Sandy Hook shooting — in which 20 first-grade students and six adults were killed.

Jones previously said the mass shooting massacre was a hoax.

Lawsuits filed by the families in Connecticut and Texas claimed that Jones defamed them on his show and inflicted emotional distress by repeatedly suggesting the shooting was a hoax.

Several of the Sandy Hook families supported the sale of Infowars.

“Our clients knew that true accountability meant an end to Infowars and an end to Jones’ ability to spread lies, pain, and fear at scale,” said Chris Mattei, attorney for the Connecticut families. "By divesting Jones of Infowars’ assets, the families and the team at the Onion have done a public service and will meaningfully hinder Jones’ ability to do more harm."

Everytown for Gun Safety — an organization that advocates for gun control — said it will be the exclusive advertiser in the Onion’s new venture as part of a multiyear agreement.

“It’s fitting that a platform once used to profit off of tragedy will be a tool of education, hence our multiyear advertising commitment to this new venture,” stated John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety. "We’re proud to be a part of what comes next, not only in terms of staunching the flow of hurtful misinformation, but also for the potential this new venture has to help Everytown reach new audiences ready to hold the gun industry accountable for contributing to our nation’s gun violence epidemic."

Robbie Parker, whose daughter was killed in the school shooting, said in a statement, "The dissolution of Alex Jones’ assets and the death of Infowars is the justice we have long awaited and fought for."

The Onion CEO Ben Collins said, "The Onion has a long history of helping the American public navigate some of the most difficult moments in American life, from our historic issue after 9/11 to our groundbreaking reportage after every American mass shooting. In that tradition, we hope the Sandy Hook families will be able to marvel at the cosmic joke we will soon make of Infowars.com."

In a satirical article, the Onion noted that Infowars was founded in 1999 "on the heels of the Satanic 'panic' and growing steadily ever since."

"Infowars has distinguished itself as an invaluable tool for brainwashing and controlling the masses," the Onion added. "With a shrewd mix of delusional paranoia and dubious anti-aging nutrition hacks, they strive to make life both scarier and longer for everyone, a commendable goal."

The publication said it plans to launch the new platform in January 2025.
