Far-right conspiracy peddler and Infowars host Alex Jones launched into a hot meltdown on Tuesday, lashing out at his audience for believing what he called “propaganda” from the mainstream media following a judge ruling that revoked his bankruptcy protection in the Sandy Hook families lawsuit against him.
During his Infowars broadcast, Jones slammed media reports on the ruling, arguing that his attorneys agreed to the court order.
“This place is on the edge of insolvency,” he explained. “We are in bankruptcy to try to get through this and to try to minimize the bills. And then a bunch of the audience thinks, ‘Well, he’s going off air; I’m not going to support him.'”
Jones then said the feels liberated by the ruling because he eventually would not be able to afford food.
“It’s a liberating feeling. I kind of feel good in this fight that I’m going to get down to the point where I can’t buy groceries. That makes me feel actually like I’ve done my job. I’m actually liking this in a way,” he added before claiming that he has become “more powerful.”
“I don’t tell lies, you got that?” he exclaimed. “That’s my secret! My brain becomes more powerful every day because I’ve trained myself not to lie to myself, not to lie to my audience and not to lie in front of God!”
Jones also suggested that his downfall was a “self-fulfilling prophecy.”
“All the fake lawsuits couldn’t shut us down, but you decided to believe their propaganda,” he said, “and you believe we’re going under because the lawyers told you we’re going under, the Democrats told you we’re going under. And you’ve decided — some of you — to believe that, so we’ve gotten less support.”
“OK, believe them! It will make it true! Because it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy,” he declared.
He added: “If we were way behind to pay the bills, I could just say, well, it’s time to really shut this down. But that fact that it’s just right there! We’re almost where we need to be! And we’re just almost going to beat these people! It just pisses me off!”
