(TheConservativeTimes.org) – The bombshell case of Alex Jones’ Infowars has reached a new point after a U.S. Bankruptcy judge declared the site’s sale to liberal satire site The Onion completely void.
The decision protects Jones’ platform from being silenced and prevents the transformation of a conservative news outlet into a joke.
Judge Christopher Lopez rejected the proposed sale, citing concerns over the auction’s integrity and the compensation for Sandy Hook shooting victims’ families.
This decision allows Jones to retain his business premises in Austin, Texas, and shoots down The Onion’s plans to relaunch Infowars as a satirical commentary outlet in January.
Known for its left-leaning humor, The Onion had outbid a Jones-affiliated entity in an auction that many conservatives viewed as suspicious from the start.
Jones, who has been a target of the mainstream media and liberal elites for years, faced court-ordered liabilities totaling nearly $1.5 billion due to his claims about the Sandy Hook massacre.

“I can’t imagine the judge would certify this fraud,” Jones stated about the auction process.
Judge Lopez criticized the auction for leaving “a lot of money on the table” for the families, noting that The Onion’s bid of $1.75 million was significantly lower than the $3.5 million offered by First United American Companies.
The judge’s decision allows Jones to continue broadcasting from his Infowars headquarters.
“We can celebrate the judge doing the right thing with the most ridiculous, fraudulent auction known in human history,” Jones declared while praising the court’s decision.
In turn, The Onion and its parent company, Global Tetrahedron, expressed disappointment with the ruling.
Jones will now continue to appeal the $1.5 billion judgments against him, citing his First Amendment rights.
His legal team argues that pending appeals could overturn these lawsuit judgments, which would significantly impact the auction proceeds and the entire bankruptcy process.
