    I mean…what value even IS there? He had a website, a microphone, and a dumb as hell audience. Paid for by ad placements for fish pills. What is there to sell really?

      A pretty nice desk I’m told.

      There are also several parties interested in contact details for dumb as hell audience who don’t mind giving money to obvious scammers.

      I see plenty of value in buying it and turning it into a gay cam site!

      If you don’t understand that controlling the infowars domain, his social media accounts, and his businesses 20+ year old subscriber records are valuable to right wing grifters, I don’t know what to tell you.

        The only issue is controlling Alex Jones. He’s too batshit to ever work under anyone and without him most of the value evaporates.

        So now it’s up to rich people to decide if Alex Jones gets to stay on the air. Will asshole rich people who want him to continue buy it or will some nice rich people buy it to shut him down?

      Since he shifted his tactical arsewipes and rebranded vitamin pills business to officially be his dad’s now, I dunno.

      Maybe as a domain-squatting thing? Make infowars be the official website of Knowledge Fight? Or a campaign website to fight christian extremism.
