In an “emergency broadcast” aired on Saturday, notable conspiracy theorist Alex Jones revealed that federal authorities were likely to shut down the studios of his Austin, Texas, based InfoWars studio.

“This is going to be InfoWars’ last show, because I learned yesterday that they were going to padlock the door and kick us out last night,” Jones stated during his show on Saturday.

The publication had released an article earlier on Friday, suggesting that the company might be forced to cease operations within 48 hours.

Jones mentioned observing “guards looking at me weird” as he entered the Infowars building, which led him to believe that a shutdown was imminent.

“I went with my instinct[…]and discovered this plan to shut us down,” he said, explaining that he interrogated the guards on Friday night to understand the situation.

“I discovered this and a bunch of other stuff that I haven’t released yet,” Jones continued.

In an apparent attempt to keep the feds from shutting him down, Jones said he had stayed at the studio overnight and warned that he would call the police if they came knocking.

Despite claiming to have all the evidence needed to prove the shutdown attempt, Jones waffled in a Saturday social media post.

“There’s a 50 percent chance this is happening right now,” he stated on X, formerly Twitter.

“They want us shut down because in bankruptcy and what was happening we have a path with the judge to continue on for years, and the judge has signaled that,” Jones explained about his financial woes.

“So, different groups involved in the bankruptcy that will be exposed soon have literally made a move to shut this place down and end my show,” he noted.

Jones alleged that “the deep state” was orchestrating a move to shut down InfoWars after targeting Donald Trump, who was found guilty by a New York jury on Thursday of 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.

While broadcasting on Saturday, Jones became emotional, stating, “We’re going to beat these people. I’m not trying to be dramatic, but it’s been a hard fight.”

“I’ve been targeted for abuse. I was duped by someone. Federal files in secret have claimed that I’m committing crimes. This was untrue, of course[…]This may be my final performance.”

Jones is currently facing wildly high legal expenses, stemming from a 2022 court order that has him on the hook for almost $1.5 billion, for falsely claiming that the 2012 Sandy Hook school massacre was a hoax.

Later that year, Jones filed for personal bankruptcy, in an effort to shield himself from payment. However, in fall of last year, a U.S. Bankruptcy Court determined that Jones is not protected by the bankruptcy and still owes the damages to the families impacted by the Sandy Hook shooting.

In December, the InfoWars star tried to settle with a payment schedule that would see him sole out $5.5 million annually over a ten year period, which the plaintiffs deemed “woefully short.”

Last week, Jones received approval for the $2.8 million sale of his Texas ranch, with the proceeds to be placed in an escrow account to cover his legal expenses.

On Sunday, Jones posted another “emergency broadcast” with that warned viewers to avoid getting violent if InfoWars indeed gets shuttered.

He warned that globalists “want a civil war in America” and have been “preprogramming it everywhere.”

“So I don’t want any violence against any of the people that are shutting down InfoWars,” Jones said in a Sunday night X post. “I don’t want to hear any talk about it, I don’t want to see any of it.”

“For all the people who say that violence is good, our enemies want violence because they’re losing the information war, they’re hoping for violence.”

Jones and InfoWars were both banned from Twitter in 2018 for spreading false claims about the 2012 mass shooting.

The supposed permanent ban was overturned by new owner Elon Musk in December of last year.
Musk announced the reinstatement of Jones’ account on X through a post that included the results of a poll that questioned if Twitter users were in favor of Jones’ return to the platform.

“Reinstate Alex Jones on this platform?” Musk wrote, adding “Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” a Latin phrase that means “the voice of the people is the voice of God,” and the poll results, which showed that 70% of respondents were in favor of Jones’ return.

“The people have spoken and so it shall be,” he noted.

In a separate post regarding Jones’ account Musk remarked, “I vehemently disagree with what he said about Sandy Hook, but are we a platform that believes in freedom of speech or are we not?”

“That is what it comes down to in the end. If people vote him back on, this will be bad for X financially, but principles matter more than money,” he wrote at the time.
