Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones breaks down in tears on Infowars, claiming the feds are trying to shut down the show

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones broke down in tears on his show Infowars this week, claiming that federal authorities were trying to shut down his show.

Jones, 50, was seen openly sobbing on his show as he alleged, without any evidence, that the “deep state” was trying to silence him after federal agents allegedly received “secret federal files » alleging that he was committing crimes that had been handed over to him. at the Ministry of Justice.

He alleged he had to sleep in the show’s Dallas studio the night before to avoid being padlocked, hours before his network’s web version, in an article, claimed the same thing.

“I love this team,” Jones said about 15 minutes into the final hour of the X show, where he called members of unspecified federal agencies allegedly tracking him “p**sies ” and “a**holes”.

“I’m so upset,” he said, starting to sob. “I’m trying to cry to pretend, but I’m so sick of these people,” he added.

“All we’re trying to do is save America, and they’re screwing us over and over again.

“And it’s so sick – it’s sick, it’s sick. I want to leave – because it’s going to be over, folks.

He went on to say he would “come back bigger than ever”, before adding: “But baby, I’m watching them rape him.”

It is unclear which federal agency Jones was referring to or whether Jones’ accusations are true. The independent has contacted the FBI and Department of Justice for comment.

As of Monday morning, Infowars appeared to still be operational and no reports of federal agents near the studio’s premises had been received, although Jones said News week that he spotted “guards looking at me strangely” at the entrance to the Infowars building in downtown Dallas and that he thought his business was going to be shut down.

Meanwhile, in an article on X this weekend, Jones appeared to admit that he wasn’t sure the shutdown actually happened.

“There’s a 50 percent chance of this happening right now,” Jones wrote on X.

“They want us to go out of business because in the event of bankruptcy and what was happening, we have a path to go through with the judge for years, and the judge pointed that out.

“Different groups involved in the soon-to-be-revealed bankruptcy have literally made the decision to close this place and end my show.”

Jones was previously sued by families of Sandy Hook shooting victims for promoting a false theory that the massacre was a hoax, with a judge ordering him to pay $1.5 billion to the families.

The decision led to Jones filing for bankruptcy and he has so far failed to pay any money after telling his audience last year that he was “officially out of money”.

Meanwhile, Jones has been criticized in the past for playing an amplified version of himself not only on air but in public, with the right-wing conspiracy theorist’s lawyers previously claiming he was a “performance artist » who was only “playing”. a character” on his show Infowars.

“He’s playing a character,” his attorney, Randall Wilhite, said during a preliminary hearing in which Jones’ ex-girlfriend, Kelly Jones, tried — successfully — to gain custody of their three children. “He’s a performance artist.”

Kelly obtained custody of the children after citing her husband’s “unstable” character and his possible illegal remarks.
