Alex Jones sues The Onion, Sandy Hook families over Infowars bid

[Lauren]

ALEX JONES IS NOW TAKING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THE PROPOSED SALE OF HIS WEBSITE INFO WARS TO SATIRICAL NEWS OUTLET “THE ONION”. FILING A LAWSUIT THIS WEEK.

I’ll never back down I’ll never give in .. I can’t be threatened. 

JONES IS SUING A COURT-APPOINTED BANKRUPTCY TRUSTEE AND FAMILIES OF SOME SANDY HOOK VICTIMS.

THIS COMES AFTER THE PARENT COMPANY OF INFOWARS WAS AUCTIONED OFF LAST WEEK.

FAMILIES OF SANDY HOOK VICTIMS ARE BACKING THE DEAL, WHICH WOULD TURN INFOWARS INTO A PARODY SITE FOCUSED ON FAR-RIGHT CONSPIRACY THEORIES.

JONES OWES NEARLY 1-POINT-5 BILLION DOLLARS TO THOSE FAMILIES AFTER FALSELY CLAIMING THE 2012 SCHOOL SHOOTING WAS A HOAX.

IN THE LAWSUIT, JONES CALLS THE ONION’S BID A QUOTE – “FLAGRANTLY NON-COMPLIANT FRANKENSTEIN BID” ASKING A JUDGE TO HALT THE SALE.

THE ONION’S PARENT COMPANY … GLOBAL TETRAHEDRON, WAS NAMED THE WINNING BIDDER AFTER OFFERING 1-POINT-75 MILLION IN CASH ALONG WITH A “CREDIT” FROM THE CONNECTICUT FAMILIES, WHO OFFERED TO FORGO 100 PERCENT OF THEIR PORTION OF THE BID TO SUPPORT THE EFFORT.

FIRST UNITED AMERICANS COMPANIES – WHICH IS AFFILIATED WITH JONES AND OPERATES HIS ONLINE SUPPLEMENTS STORE – OFFERED A COMPETING BID OF 3-POINT-5 MILLION DOLLARS.

THE ONION SAYS THEIR BID SHOULD BE CLOSER TO 7 MILLION CONSIDERING THE FAMILIES CREDIT, BUT JONES’ ATTORNEYS ARGUE THAT FIGURE DOESN’T MAKE SENSE.

JONES IS NOW ASKING HIS SUPPORTERS TO PURCHASE ITEMS FROM HIS ONLINE MERCHANDISE STORE … IN AN EFFORT TO GAIN FINANCIAL SUPPORT DURING HIS LEGAL FIGHT. 

there’s not enough funds coming in to really win hard … you wanna win .. back those that have victory … back those that have a 30 plus year history … i wanna thank you all for your support but to the idiots out there … why’s he asking for money … because I’m the tip of the spear. 

THE NEXT HEARING ON THE CASE IS SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 25.

FOR SAN – I’M LAUREN TAYLOR.
