Without a doubt the best possible result and also the most unexpected. Finally, the conspiracy journalist Alex Jones He failed to save his Infowars media empire, but for him, the worst part was not that: his hoax propagation machine now belongs to the satirical site The Onion., something like the American version of El Mundo Today. The amount paid by the company Global Tetrahedron has not been communicated, but it is envisaged an amount slightly lower than the billion dollars expected. The money will be used to compensate twenty families of Sandy Hook shooting victims who Jones harassed.
According to the ironic statement published in The Onion Bryce P. Tetraeder (CEO of Global Tetrahedron), “InfoWars has established itself as an invaluable tool for brainwashing and controlling the masses. With a clever mix of delusional paranoia and questionable anti-aging nutritional tricks, it strives to make the scarier and longer lives for all”, a laudable goal. This is a true unicorn, capable of both inspiring public support for billionaires and stoking outrage against an inept federal state that can kill JFK but it can’t even take a man to the Moon. »
“InfoWars has demonstrated,” the statement continued, “an unwavering commitment to generating anger and radicalizing the most vulnerable members of society, values that resonate deeply with all of us at Global Tetrahedron. No price would be too high for a such a cornucopia of assets and malleable minds (…). Make no mistake: this is a blow to our business and a well-deserved victory for multinational elites around the world.
Alex Jones announces this morning that The Onion has purchased InfoWars at public auction and the show is now closed.

The response from Alex Jones, who warned he was in danger of losing his empire and called for Infowars to be bought out to keep his prank factory alive, was to attribute it all to a Democratic conspiracy. But as his YouTube account and his website no longer exist, the last broadcast (he will only be able to do more if he creates another company and under another name) was made via his ‘X’ account. The future of InfoWars is now to become a website to satirize the world of conspiraciesas Tetraeder explains. It will be difficult to distinguish it from the original.
As EL ESPAÑOL previously reported, on September 13, a court in Texas – where Free Speech Systems (the company that combines all its activities) is based – ordered the popular channel to auction off its media empire to face to twenty victims of the Sandy Hook affair. shooting — the most serious school shooting in U.S. history — that he had hounded for years. Among other things, he mocked them, He accused them of being “crisis actors” and denied his children ever existed..
This conviction followed two trials that the founder of Infowars had already lost. The first of them took place in 2021 and the second in 2022. The sum of the two convictions – 60 million for one and 965 for the others – amounts to 1,015 million dollars. Jones asked to declare bankruptcy to avoid paying, but the judge did not accept his proposal. The two processes concentrate the documentary The Truth Against Alex Jones (Dan Reed, 2024), visible on the Prime Video platform.
The “Papa Bear” of the conspiracy
Alexander Emerick Jones (1974), known around the world as Alex Jones, became popular in his country thanks to a show on public television in Austin, Texas. The international break began when he appeared in the British series Secret leaders of the world (Channel 4), by journalist Jon Ronson, and which was later turned into a book Extremists: my adventures with the radicals (2001). At that time, his great enemy were the globalists who were trying to dominate the world and, accompanied by Ronson, he managed to sneak into the Bohemian Grove, an annual meeting held in summer and attended by the political and economic elite of the UNITED STATES. States.
But his big moment came with the September 11 attacks. Until then, true to form, there was no alternative version he hadn’t embraced, but July 25, 2001 arrived… and he became a star. That day, on the air, after declaring that the White House was considering declaring martial law, He added that a major false flag attack would vindicate him..
He then said: “If a terrorist act happens, it will come from this government. What if there was a threat like Bin Laden, known as a CIA agent who in the 1980s fought alongside the mujahideen and whose family currently builds all the military bases in Saudi Arabia, which will not be the work of any agent in the service of Iran. He is the straw man they need in this pathetic, Orwellian system. September 11 made him a prophet among his people.
With InfoWars – and its little brother Prison Planet – Jones has established himself as the spokesperson for the movement. truer (those who rejected the official version of September 11). His articles on the Patriot Act (the anti-terrorism law put in place after the Twin Towers attacks) earned him a nomination for the Project Censored awards, a sort of alternative Pulitzer Prize. But over time he lost his credibility by defending increasingly crazy theories, to the point that the comedian Stéphane Colbert He called him the “Papa Bear” of the global conspiracy.
Another subject that brought him great fame was his monitoring of meetings held by the so-called Bilderberg Group, while no other media dared to publish information on this subject. In this work he counted on the veteran Jim Tuckerveteran of the Philonazi magazine bring to light, closed at the time by court decision. He also benefited from the occasional collaboration of Lithuanians living in Spain. Daniel Estulinwhose book The true story of the Bilderberg Club (2005) was an international success and shed light on the activities of the controversial think tank.
Over time, Jones gained millions of followers on both sides of the political spectrum and eventually became the poster child for the most radical far-right – like the 3%, the Proud Boys or the MAGA movement – at the same pace as its predecessor. This page has become a sort of teleshopping, especially for vitamin products. As his theories became more radical, his income skyrocketed, but he was eventually banned from most social media. This did not prevent him from continuing to grow, especially when he became one of the references of Donald Trump’s campaign in 2012. In fact, he was the first journalist that the Republican called upon his arrival in the White House, although relations subsequently deteriorated. deterioration.
In fact, during these elections, contact with him was non-existent. In any case, he promised to start from scratch thanks to a personal fortune estimated at $9 million, which was not affected by the conviction.
