Alex Jones Infowars files for bankruptcy amid Sandy Hook lawsuits
KATE FELDMAN
Facing damages from a lawsuit filed by Sandy Hook victims and their families, three of Alex Jones businesses suddenly filed for bankruptcy early Monday morning.
Infowars, IWHealth (known as Infowars Health) and Prison Planet TV have all filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the Southern District of Texas, according to filings obtained by the Daily News. All three were filed by the same attorney.
Infowars, Jones far-right website that creates and promotes conspiracy theories, claimed in the filings to have less than $50,000 in assets and between $1 million and $10 million in liabilities. IWHealth claims to have between $500,000 and $1 million in assets and between $1 million and $10 million in liabilities. Prison Planet TV similarly claims to have less than $50,000 in assets and between $1 million and $10 million in liabilities.
The Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings will put on hold the collection of any damages incurred by the debtor, in this case Jones, who is awaiting a defamation trial in Texas later this month to determine how much he owes one set of suing families.

Last year, he was found liable for damages in Connecticut after the families of eight victims and an FBI agent sued him for saying the Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax. Adam Lanza fatally shot 20 elementary school students and six staff members at the Newtown, Conn., school on Dec. 14, 2012.
The families have alleged that they faced harassment and death threats after Jones claimed the school shooting was staged, using paid actors.
Jones has blamed his conspiracy theory on a form of psychosis and since retracted it.
Well, Im just saying that the trauma of the media and the corporations lying so much, then everything begins you dont trust anything anymore, kind of like a child whose parents lie to them over and over again, well, pretty soon they dont know what reality is, he said in a 2019 deposition.

Oh I'm not picking on anyone specifically. Just reminding everyone that true news isn't about satisfying ones preexisting opinions. If you find yourself drawn to a specific source of "news" because it makes you feel justified in your beliefs, it's probably not news at all.
AJ brought a lot of "dirty laundry" to the table that needed cleaning...And a lot remains to be cleaned.
* Bohemian Grove.
* The Bilderberg Group.
* The New World Order & its plans.
* 9/11 proves worth investigating.
And countless other "truths" that need to be addressed, but are mindfully washed-over by these corrupted people...And finally, it seems that they'll be rid of him soon.
There's still the dirty laundry to deal with.
