Alex Jones’ Enemies Might Just Wind Up Taking Over InfoWars
Elijah Nouvelage/Getty ImagesLongstanding adversaries of one of the United States’ foremost fake news merchants, InfoWars, are apparently gearing up to take control of the very platform that brought him infamy.Last Tuesday, a Texas judge ruled that trustees for Alex Jones can begin the process of putting the renowned conspiracy theorist’s assets up for auction, as part of the bankruptcy proceedings he initiated in a suspected bid to avoid paying $1.5 billion in damages to families of those who tragically lost their lives in the Sandy Hook school shooting.In the latest, ironic twist to a long and winding legal saga, the purchase of those assets – including Jones’ flagship fake news website InfoWars – is now being “diligently considered” by a coalition of liberal groups and anti-disinformation watchdogs, Semafor reports.Read more at The Daily Beast.

The Most In-Your-Face Look Yet Trump’s Violent Power Grab
Nick QuestedAhead of this November’s presidential election, Donald Trump has revived his infamous “Stop the Steal” campaign, warning that fraud and interference are primed to warp the results, upend the Constitution, and thwart democracy. It’s a familiar treasonous playbook that he first used in 2020, when he and his MAGA cohorts sought to overturn his decisive loss to President Joe Biden, culminating in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the nation’s Capital.As the new documentary film 64 Days demonstrates with harrowing up-close-and-personal insightfulness, that scheme was far from a spontaneous expression of outrage. On the contrary, it was planned and orchestrated by Trump and his political and white-nationalist allies.Documentarian Nick Quested was embedded with the Proud Boys and its leader, Enrique Tarrio, in the months leading up to Jan. 6, and 64 Days—premiering September 30 in New York City—is a bracing recap of the two month period between the 2020 election and the attempted coup that rocked America. On June 9, 2022, Quested testified before the United States House Select Committee on the Jan. 6 Attack, and his latest film is an extension of his comments at that hearing, detailing his experiences among far-right activists who were committed to subverting the election. A chronological road map of the coordinated efforts to commit the very theft to which they ostensibly objected, it’s a chilling reminder that there are nefarious forces at play in this country, determined to seize power and undermine the rule of law by any means necessary.Read more at The Daily Beast.
