Former Soros Prosecutor Admits She Used Public Funds To Pay Personal Expenses
'Funds were deposited in her personal bank account'
Alex Jones’ Infowars to be shut down and liquidated to pay Sandy Hook victims’ families
In yet another attack on freedom of speech, a court-appointed trustee in Alex Jones’ bankruptcy proceedings has disclosed plans to effectively shut down Jones’ media platform, Infowars, and liquidate its inventory to pay some of the $1.5 billion he owes to the Sandy Hook victims’ families.
This news comes in the wake of the recent verdict that Jones’ personal assets would be liquidated to contribute toward paying the astronomical judgment for spreading “misinformation.”
Today he joins Glenn Beck to share his side of the story.
The END of Infowars: What's Next? | Glenn Beck INTERVIEWS Alex Jonesyoutu.be
“This is very historic,” says Jones. “The quote ‘families’ who are represented by high-power Democrat Party law firms, the same ones suing Elon Musk right now for defamation … went on CNN last week and said, ‘We do not want money. We want [Infowars] immediately closed.”’
“They don't want to sell the millions of dollars of inventory – books, films, T-shirts, supplements, water filters. They don't want anything; they want it immediately shut down, and they said ‘because we want to stop his speech,’” he tells Glenn. “It’s just outrageous how transparent this is.”
Jones recalls when two years ago, two judges, one from Texas, the other from Connecticut, found him liable for “failure to give any discovery.” However, Jones swears he “gave them everything,” but “there was just no evidence of what they said [he] did,” so he was declared “guilty in default.”
“I was not allowed to put on defense; I was not allowed to respond,” says Jones, adding that his lawyers “weren't allowed to [defend him].”
Jones says he agreed to an “orderly liquidation,” so that “the stuff actually gets sold off,” which might allow him to give his employees some severance.
However, “they immediately ran to the same judge that found me guilty without a jury trial in Texas and just in a summary hearing [with] no evidence said, ‘Seize all the assets,”’ Jones tells Glenn. “So now the federal trustee is in a fight with them trying to block them today, grabbing the bank accounts and having the sheriff’s department … come and lock the doors.”
When Jones informed the public of the situation, the media, once again, deemed him “a conspiracy theorist.”
“They've admitted in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, CNN – everywhere – that they're going to use this precedent against me in lawfare,” he says.
“I'm guilty of plenty of stuff, I made plenty of mistakes, but I did not say 99% of what they said I said, but I couldn't defend myself,” Jones admits, adding that he did say the shooting was “totally staged” but “never sent anybody to [the families’] houses” and “never peed on graves.”
According to Jones, after “the media [created] this illusion” that he was guilty of a long list of atrocities, they made it impossible for him to respond.
“Every nightly news channel” and “hundreds of publications” were “saying things I never said, [but] I was unable to respond, so that's what's so scary about the situation,” he says.

De-transitioner warns shareholders that Disney will pay a price for 'stealing the voices of thousands of little Ariels'
A victim of so-called "gender-affirming care" informed Disney shareholders Wednesday that the company may soon face lawsuits over its support of employees' genital mutilations. Chloe Cole, a woman left permanently scarred by gender ideology, further stressed the importance of the company looking into providing benefits for those who seek to "detransition."
The woke company
The Walt Disney Company has worked hard to earn the admiration of LGBT radicals, securing for itself a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's Corporate Equality Index since 2007.
The corporate behemoth has signaled its ideological compliance in various ways.
Besides throwing around its weight in an effort to dissuade lawmakers from executing the will of voters and upholding parental rights, Disney also covers travels expenses for its employees to kill their unborn children. For those children ultimately permitted to live, Disney offers "gender affirmation benefits."
Accordingly, Disney helps employees, their spouses, and their children get sex-change mutilations, elective mastectomies, and ruinous hormone therapies.
The company does so even though:
- the so-called experts at the World Professional Association for Transgender Health — the organization that wrote the go-to guide on "gender-affirming care" — have been outed admitting in private both that children cannot provide informed consent and sex-change surgeries can have nightmarish consequences;
- England's National Health Service has highlighted there is little to no evidence showing an upside to the use of puberty blockers in minors;
- Finland's leading child psychiatrist Riittakerttu Kaltiala has underscored that most kids will grow out of the delusion that their gender and sex are misaligned; and
- the core claim used by gender ideologues to justify sex-change mutilations has been utterly debunked.
The scarred patient
Chloe Cole, 19, knows firsthand just how devastating the treatments that Disney's employee benefits cover can be.
Cole told the Florida Boards of Medicine and Osteopathic Medicine Joint Rules/Legislative Committee in 2022, "At 13, I started taking puberty blockers and testosterone. At 15, I underwent a double mastectomy in which my breasts were removed and my nipples were grafted. And yet, at 16, after years of medically transitioning, I came to realize I severely regretted my transition."
"I want to be a mother someday, and yet I can never naturally feed ... my future children. My breasts were beautiful and now they have been incinerated for nothing. Thank you, modern medicine," said Cole.
The gender ideology victim, who noted at the time that her chest remained scarred and her nipples continued to bleed, has become a patient advocate for Do No Harm. DNH represents medical professionals, patients, and policymakers keen on ridding the medical establishment of identity politics and gender ideology.
In addition to raising awareness about the fallout of "gender-affirming care," Cole has also taken legal action against Kaiser Permanente, accusing the institution and her former doctors of performing experimental and mutilating treatment.
The shareholder meeting
Cole called into Disney's annual shareholders meeting Wednesday, underscoring the consequence of the procedures they cover and the possibility there may be legal consequences on the horizon.
"Disney pays for gender transition interventions, but not de-transitioning care. Therefore, the Company discriminates based on gender identity under EEOC regulations," said Cole. "I speak from personal experience as someone who was deceived and physically harmed at a young age by gender ideology, validated by the medical industry, and pushed to the masses by corporations like Disney."
Cole detailed how, as a minor, she was given irreversible puberty blockers and a double mastectomy.
"My body has been irreversibly damaged, and years later, my chest is still in bandages," continued Cole. "My doctors have abandoned me. Now doctors look and shrug."
Cole further noted that she has filed suit against "those professionals who steered me into taking these destructive steps that have permanently scarred me."
"But Disney, in its arrogance, has responded to our proposal by stating that I am only trying to 'generate attention' for a 'limited agenda.' Mr. Iger, Disney under your watch is pushing the 'limited agenda' of gender ideology," continued Cole. "Disney has become the Ursula that is stealing the voices of thousands of little Ariels across the world by telling us we can be something that we can never become."
"The lawsuits are coming, sir. It’s only a matter of time before current or past employees, whose bodies and lives have been irreversibly harmed, will show up at your door looking for justice and restitution," added Cole.
Just got off the phone from the @Disney annual shareholders meeting.\n\nI needed to call out Bob Iger and the rest of the board\u2019s hypocrisy and the dangerous lies they feed to us through the media. \n\nHere is what I said:— (@)
The proposal
Cole concluded her call by requesting that shareholders consider the "Gender-Based Compensation Gaps and Associated Risks" proposal presented by the National Legal and Policy Center.
The proposal asks that Disney investigate its benefits policies to determine whether they are discriminatory against de-transitioners.
It specifically requests that the board of directors issue a report by Dec. 31 "about compensation and health benefit gaps, which should include how they address dysphoria and de-transitioning care across gender classifications, including associated reputational, competitive, operational and litigative risks, and risks related to recruiting and retaining diverse talent."
The NLPC indicated that the company's board of directors has opposed the proposal because it "intended to serve the particular interest of the proponent."
The board unsuccessfully sought permission from the Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this year to exclude the proposal from consideration at the annual meeting.
The NLPC noted in its response, filed with the SEC, that "besides the inherent discriminatory infrastructure established by Disney within its compensation policies and programs, the Company has opened the door wide to reputational and legal risk due to gender ideology and the affirmation of sex transitioning medical coverage. The de-transitioners' litigiousness may be at a trickle now, but the diversity-obsessed Company should prepare for an eventual flood of lawsuits from angry, mutilated current and former employees."
While Cole was able to put the proposal before the shareholders, the Huffington Post indicated they ultimately rejected it.

Trump ordered to pay $83.3 million to E. Jean Carroll in damages for defamation, former president explodes: 'THIS IS NOT AMERICA!'
Former President Donald Trump was ordered to pay $83.3 million in damages to E. Jean Carroll for defaming her, a New York jury decided on Friday afternoon. The former president lashed out over the decision on social media.
The nine-person jury began deliberations in federal court at 1:40 p.m., and they reached a verdict in less than three hours. However, Trump reportedly exited the courthouse around 4 p.m., before the jury delivered its verdict in the trial that began on Jan. 16.
The jury came to the conclusion that Trump made defamatory comments toward Carroll while in the White House in June 2019, and the verdict was announced by federal Judge Lewis A. Kaplan.
The jury decided Trump must pay $18.3 million in compensatory damages, including $11 million for damage done to Carroll's reputation and $7.3 million for emotional harm and other damages. In addition, Trump was also ordered to pay a whopping $65 million in punitive damages – for a total of $83.3 million.
To calculate the harm to Carroll's reputation from Trump's remarks, Carroll's legal team hired Ashlee Humphries — a professor of consumer sentiment at Northwestern University. The expert witness contended that Carroll would require $12.1 million in compensatory damages to rehabilitate her reputation from Trump's comments.
Trump's attorney, Alina Habba, argued that the $12.1 million figure had "more holes than Swiss cheese."
Habba contested that Carroll “had failed to show she is entitled to any damages at all” because she "actively sought the comments and the attention" that she received.
Regarding threats Carroll received from Trump followers, Habba said the former president "has as much control of social media users as he does the weather."
Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, asked the jury for $24 million in compensatory damages, plus “an unusually high punitive award."
Trump furiously reacted to the jury's decision in an enraged diatribe on Truth Social.
"Absolutely ridiculous! I fully disagree with both verdicts, and will be appealing this whole Biden Directed Witch Hunt focused on me and the Republican Party," Trump proclaimed in the Truth Social post. "Our Legal System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon."
Trump declared, "They have taken away all First Amendment Rights. THIS IS NOT AMERICA!"
Hours before the verdict was announced, Trump slammed U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan.
"Judge Kaplan refuses to allow the Anderson Cooper Interview on CNN of E. Jean Carroll wherein Carroll says, 'Rape is sexy,' and numerous other things that totally exonerate me," Trump stated in a Truth Social post.
"Judge Kaplan is refusing me my Constitutional Right to Due Process, to defend myself against this False Accusation," the former president alleged. "This is a one-sided trial, where the other side is allowed everything, and we are allowed nothing. He is an extremely abusive individual, the likes of which few have seen before!"
In June 2019, Carroll alleged that Trump raped her at the Bergdorf Goodman department store across from Trump Tower in Manhattan sometime in 1996.
Trump, who was president at the time, called Carroll a "whack job" and claimed that he had never met her.
Trump has repeatedly and vehemently denied the sexual assault allegations by Carroll.
The 2024 GOP presidential frontrunner said this week, "I don’t even know who this woman is — I have no idea who she is, or where she came from. This is ANOTHER SCAM…it’s a POLITICAL WITCH HUNT."
Last May, a different jury awarded Carroll $5 million in damages and nearly $3 million for defamation for public comments Trump made against her in 2022. Trump is appealing that decision.
