Infowars founder Alex Jones believes a coalition of federal agents and company employees conspired together to attempt to remove him from the company and cease operations.
In a nearly two-hour broadcast Saturday, Jones argued that it could be the final time he speaks to his listeners and viewers as he believed he was “under attack” from outside forces trying to end his long-running company.
“The battle to shut down Infowars has been going on — really for a decade — but intensified, as you know, in the last six years,” said Jones. “It’s been epic. I knew (the CIA’s) mission was to pull me off of exposing their larger operations and divert me to defending myself.”
He argued that a security guard from a private security firm the company uses began acting strangely recently. When confronted by Jones, a lawyer claimed that he was told to shut down the company at 9 PM.
“I don’t go around here all paranoid, but I pick up on things and I’ve learned to follow the Holy Spirit’s instincts,” Jones said. “I noticed that a guard I’ve known for about a year — a nice guy — was acting kind of weird running around the office and looking at me kind of weird and I called my lawyer and I said ‘Is something is something going on?’
“And they said ‘Yeah, we didn’t want to upset you. They’re going to close Infowars tonight at 9 PM and they’re going to change the locks. We learned about this yesterday but we were trying to fix it. And we just didn’t want to you know give you a heart attack.'”
Alex Jones then said the situation was tied to his bankruptcy proceedings after being found liable for more than $1 billion in damages to families of victims from the 2012 Sandy Hook mass shooting.
He said “there’s a few million bucks” in his company’s accounts to fund it while he continues through the bankruptcy process, but believes an alleged court-ordered employee worked to undermine the company. Jones claimed a new Chief Revenue Officer had ended contracts for $12 million of advertising when signing on with the company.
“That’s basically the story of what then happened,” he said. “There was one CRO here for about six months. It was a very nice person, but did not understand anything and the company was in a good position, had plenty of money.”
He added that with his reputation ruined and his company now in bankruptcy, it would be difficult to find the help needed to continue.
“Imagine who would come in and say ‘Oh, I’ll do it.'”
