The Onion Eyes Infowars Parody Takeover

It's April 21st.

This is El Paso News today, driven by AI.

The Onion is making another push to grab control of Alex Jones' Infowars platform and

flip it into a full-on parody site.

This comes as Jones' company, free-speed systems, heads toward liquidation to pay over

$1 billion in defamation judgments to Sandy Hook, victims, families.

Under their new proposal, Filed Monday, and the Texas Court, the Onion wants a temporary

six-month license to the site's intellectual property.

They plan to roll out their own satirical content across the Infowars website and social

media right away.

Onion CEO Ben Collins says they've lined up hires like comedian Tim Heidecker from adult

swim fame to run the show.

If Judge Maya Garragamble approves it, the deal could kick in around April 30th with the

onion covering $81,000 monthly.

For rents and utilities, Jones built his empire pushing conspiracy theories, including

calling the 2012 Sandy Hook, shooting a hoax with crisis actors to push, gun control.

That sparked lawsuits from victims' relatives and an FBI agent who faced harassment from

his followers.

Jury's hit him with over $1.4 billion in Connecticut and nearly $50 million in Texas.

Jones fired back on his show, vowing to battle the proposal in court while prepping a new

studio.

He insists his out's Jones show will keep rolling on his ex-account, radio stations,

and fresh websites for his supplements and merch that rake in, millions yearly.

A prior bankruptcy auction for the assets got tossed due to bidding issues.

Meanwhile, the court appointed receiver backs the onions bid and Sandy Hook lawyer supported

too, as profits would flow to the families.

With appeals dragging on, this parody takeover could reshape Infowars, or Jones might

just pivot and keep broadcasting his way.
