Ben Collins apparently got his rich buddies to buy Alex Jones' InfoWars for The Onion:

Info Wars has been purchased by The Onion at auction
He is live streaming right now on Twitter as he is claiming that they are ordering shutdown without court approval.

I seriously doubt they can make it funny given what they have done with the actual Onion. I also find the whole situation with InfoWars and Alex Jones fucking absurd and a attack on freedom of speech. CNN didn't get forcefully disolved for trying to ruin the lives of the Covington Kids or George Zimmerman, why does Jones have to?

>makes multiple official statements both alluding to and confirming that he has bought infowars
>makes an official press release
>the press reports on it
>Alex Jones reads it
>WTF? WHY IS THAT RETARD JONES THINKING THIS IS REAL?

Ben Collins might be the only person in the world who's IQ would increase by receiving a lobotomy.

So, have they bought Infowars or not? I'm confused since the mainstream media seems to be reporting on it, but Ben seems to indicate that it's not true?

I mean, kudos to them if they have done that, but I feel like making fun of Alex Jones is a bit like making fun of Trump - reality trumps satire.

Lot of tweets about how FUNNY STUFF is going to happen, zero mention of any FUNNY STUFF examples.

But glad that Ben is finally taking on the powerful like an irrelevant bankrupt mentally ill man.

Because Jones believed that if he refused to participate in a court case against him it would simply go away. He didn't even attempt a defense.

No, there was also fuckery with the judge and the lawyers who were meant to "represent" Sandy Hook parents but said parents haven't been involved for years and of course the complete insane ruling which makes no sense and is de facto indentured servitude.

Well well well, another update. It would seem that The Onion has not actually bought InfoWars after all!

1731709659974.png






Basically on monday the judge overseeing the auction suddenly announced the bids would all be privately handled, not public shown. Said judge then picked the "best" bid not the biggest which makes this legally not a auction but a private sale. Furthermore The Onion apparently did not have the cash in hand to buy it at once, also something not allowed in such auctions.

They then sent people to SHUT IT DOWN on InfoWars and forcefully start taking over, but Jones stood his ground because he had not heard from his lawyer about it going through. Now a different judge overseeing the entire process has announced that the auction is invalid and is pretty much undoing the entire thing to start over.

Congratulations Ben, you managed to make yourself look like a joke. This is real comedy.

There was apparently an hour long hearing today. I'm attaching both the pdf and the mp3 attached to the pdf. I hope you appreciate my sacrifice in actually installing Adobe Acrobat for those of you who hate that shit as much as I do, just to be able to attach an mp3 separately.

I haven't listened to it so I don't know what happened but it seems worth getting out there.

I just realized, in light of Ben Collins's long-standing Elon obsession, that Ben's takeover of the Onion was his own attempt to turn into Elon Musk 2.0. Elon-sempai would not notice him, so Ben attempted to become him.

Elon bought a platform (Twitter) in order to advance his own viewpoints and also to be able to manipulate many of its users into viewing his Twitter so he could feel cool and popular.

Ben bought a platform (the Onion) in order to advance his own viewpoints and also to be able to manipulate large amounts of readers into viewing his Twitter so he could feel cool and popular.

The difference is that Elon's plan worked, because Twitter is a wildly successful platform, and (no matter what you think of him otherwise) Elon does seem to know his limits (i.e., he mostly just posts memes and replies instead of making a lot of terrible jokes).

Whereas the Onion has been unpopular for years, and now Ben is just attempting to force more and more people to look at his genuinely unfunny tweets.

The way I remember it going down was like this:
1. they filed in the one jurisdiction where judges pick their cases out of a pool instead of having them randomly assigned (it wasn't the jurisdiction where jones broadcasts from or where the plaintiffs live)
2. a democrat aligned judge picked his case
3. the judge demanded documents that jones did not have and never had
4. the judge entered a default judgment against him for failing to produce the documents
5. the only thing left to do was for the jury to assign damages, that was the only part with the jury. he was told he could not declare his own innocence when put on the stand for that portion.

the whole thing was a show trial. He was not given the chance to defend himself. It is so outrageous that I actually trust the appeals process will reverse it.
