The deep state strikes again, folks — crushing free speech under a $1.4 billion boot while the Supreme Court cowers in silence.
The United States Supreme Court rejected Alex Jones' appeal Tuesday, upholding a staggering $1.4 billion defamation judgment tied to his claims that the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax.
Justices offered no comment on the state court ruling.
In December 2012, a gunman slaughtered 20 first-grade children and six adults at the Newtown, Connecticut, school.
Jones repeatedly insinuated the event could have been "staged" on his Infowars broadcasts, prompting families to sue for defamation and other violations in Connecticut state court.
A 2022 jury, stacked with far-left activists, slapped Jones with the obscene penalty, finding his words inflicted severe harm.
Jones exhausted state appeals and now seeks bankruptcy protection through Free Speech Systems, his Infowars owner.
Last week, Jones begged the high court for emergency intervention.
Without it, he warned, Infowars faces seizure by satirical rival The Onion to fund victim payments.
"InfoWars will have been acquired by its ideological nemesis and destroyed," Jones' lawyer, Ben Broocks, filed.
The Onion's prior bankruptcy auction bid failed, but Broocks revealed a fresh Texas state court push underway.
Sandy Hook families demanded immediate liquidation of Jones' empire after he accused federal agents of orchestrating a studio takeover.
They seek every penny of the $1.5 billion total verdicts, Connecticut's $965 million plus Texas' $49 million.
In April 2024, Jones joined Steve Bannon on The War Room, raging over undercover video of a CIA-FBI operative boasting how feds bankrupted Infowars.
"President Trump needs to 'fire their ass' and clean house at the deep state when he comes into office in 2025," Jones declared.
Families' attorney Chris Mattei crowed in victory: "The Supreme Court properly rejected Jones’s latest desperate attempt to avoid accountability for the harm he has caused. We look forward to enforcing the jury’s historic verdict and making Jones and Infowars pay for what they have done."
Jones loses everything — studios, airwaves, legacy — for daring to question the narrative.
