The assets will be sold at auction but do they hold any value after all this? Does anyone really WANT infowars.com at this point?
I think whoever buys infowars(dot)com should donate it to Dan and Jordan of the Knowledge Fight Podcast. That would be the perfect way to end things.
It should redirect to https://www.knowledgefight.com
Yep, that’s what I said.
Sorry, I read it as they should be given the domain to do with as they please. I was suggesting what they should do with the domain.
Adding URLs for context in a discussion is always good. The average reader is extremely lazy.
Edit: the deleted reply said “I don’t care that you’re lazy.”
So, username checks out, and way to prove that you’re definitely an effective communicator lmao.

The digital equivalent of sipping mead from the skulls of your vanquished foes.
It would be a lot more work, but keeping the same design and covertly moving to factual content, and rewriting/debunking the existing garbage would be an interesting experiment.
It might be useful to convert some of the conspiracy nuts that follow it already.
I think Dan and Jordan should get all the emails addresses from Infowars’ mailing list and send out stackies full of carefully laid out dissections of Alex Jones’s show. Might actually get through to a few people.
Dan would never do that. He already stated they would be deleted.
Set up an alex jones AI impersonator to keep posting but slowly morph into A liberal over a few months
Stackies?
This guy doesn’t know about stackies

I’m all but assuming the domain name will be pointing to a Russian IP address soon after it’s sold at auction.
I mentioned it in another post, but I think TheOnion should buy the domain.
Well…!
I called it!
I Do! I’d spend hundreds for it.
Could do all sorts of things with it!
Accept donations for all the groups Inforwars insulted or hurt in any way.
For yucks, put up a poll for how terrible a person Alex Jones is.
Add a form for recommendations on other fun things to with the site.His sycophantic crypto bro asshole friends will try to bail him out. They’ve already been sending money his way.
I’m sure that that’s plenty of physical equipment and maybe a few buildings owned by Infowars that someone will be interested in.
If I had fewer scruples, I could probably run a pretty good scam for a while.
How much do you think it’ll be to buy an Infowar?
i agree. without being the bullshit machine it was designed to be, it loses all its value
I think it would be hilarious if someone bought it, kept the same design, and told the truth.
The actual auction site: https://360assetadvisors.com/events/fssmh/
Looks like they’re only breaking it down into three parts: Infowars the media company, Infowars the supplement store, and a pile of domain names. Production equipment might get sold as part of a separate auction.
I’m not loving the NDA though - open auctions should get more value.

Sooo who wants to crowdfund an auction!
I wonder what John Oliver is going to buy?
Some jackass like Musk is gonna buy it at auction for the minimum they can get away with, and turn it into XInfoWars or something, and rehire Alex Jones because “truth is free” or some shit.
There is 0 value in this as a media company, but it’s always been a conspiracy theorist grift. It being resold that’s really all it could be. Sadly, many in MAGA hats would love to keep the grift going.

Just enough time to move all his real assets into his dads name!
12 years later. JFC why isn’t this jerk homeless by now?
Rich bankrupt isn’t nearly as bad as regular people bankrupt.
IIRC homes are protected in bankruptcy, because someone decided it would be unfair to inflict homelessness on someone for committing the crime of being broke (irony very intended).
If Elon Musk was a good person, he would buy the site and turn it into a memorial page for the victims at Sandy Hook.
But he is not a good person.
That shitheel is more likely to buy it and just give it back to Jones.
It could not happen to a worse human being. Glad to see it.
Aw. Can I not hire you to happen to other awful human beings? Is Alex Jones your last one?
Was the “It” an “I” before the edit?
I still don’t get the comment, after reading it 10times, I think im tired
Aww. Yes, it was. That ol’ spoilsport.
That’s just, like, his opinion man.
5 to 1 odds a foreign government buys it and has him keep running it.
Now’s the time to get a good deal on boxes of herbal dick pills.
Just what I need for my herbal dick.
Just like AT Finn grass arm, but it’s a dick
And a 100,000 watt shortwave radio transmitter
Now that is a poetic ending
Keep posting this and I’ll keep up voting!
Chop shop that shit up!
I think that money could be used for better things by people who actually need it.
Edit: Or it can be used to buy these people new SUVs, yeah.
Fuck off.
You have no idea what these families have been through to even make an attempt to decide whether they deserve it.
So I am ignorant of how he couldn’t just envoke his first amendment rights on this case. I believe he is an asshole but I don’t understand how he can be sued for talking in America. Downvoted for asking a question? I thought I was on Reddit for a second.
The case was about the slander and libel, and inciting harassment. People were calling the families and telling them that were going to piss on their graves, dig up the bodies, etc. Alex Jones basically called the dad of one of the victims retarded on air.
Alex Jones featured several guests who were involved in actively harassing the family, eg Wolfgang Howiztzer.
Beyond that, he could have tried to use a first amendment defense, if he had complied with discovery. He lost the case on default, because he was withholding information and not complying with discovery. There were many, many issues where InfoWars representatives were not providing the information that they were legally required to provide. They were given many, many opportunities to correct this, and refused to do so.
Thank you very much.
I think the downvotes were assuming you “sealioning.” Alex Jones did a lot of bad faith yelling during the trial to try to falsely present it as a freedom of speech issue, so it does come across as you promoting his talking point. He really is an “info warrior” - his weapon is spewing so much shit that some of his talking points will stick.
No, I just believe in our rights. I can’t stand the dude and even said so in my first comment. I honestly have only heard a couple things the guys has said and that was more than enough. Thanks again for answering and explaining.
You’re protected from government persecution for the things you say by the first amendment. It doesn’t protect you from being sued for harassment or slander by other citizens.
