Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones let out a bizarre battle cry and sobbed uncontrollably as he claimed the federal government was trying to shut down his Infowars platform.
The 50-year-old host continued his rant for 10 seconds after claiming without evidence that his site was under attack by federal authorities who were planning to raid his Austin, Texas, studio.
Shocking footage of the moment during the so-called emergency broadcast showed Jones clenching his fists and screaming until his face was red.
Just seconds earlier, the presenter had declared, “This is my resistance as a man under attack.”
Jones, who is facing ruin for spreading a disturbing and demonstrably false conspiracy theory that the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax, sobbed repeatedly in the final 15 minutes of the broadcast as he claimed the “deep state” was trying to destroy him.
“It really pisses me off,” he fumed.
“All we’re trying to do is save America and they’ve fooled us over and over again,” Jones continued. “It’s so bad. It’s so bad. I’m done and I want to get out of here.”
Infowars was still up and running on Monday, despite multiple allusions to a possible shutdown over the weekend.
in Post by X On Monday afternoon, Jones urged viewers to tune in for what may be “the last Alex Jones from Infowars.”
Jones, during his broadcast of the battle cry, claimed the closures could be linked to bankruptcy proceedings.
Jones was ordered to pay $1.5 billion in damages and filed for bankruptcy in 2022 after being sued by families of the victims of the Sandy Hook massacre for spreading the false idea that the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, that killed 20 first-graders and six teachers never happened.
Jones’ bankruptcy filing means a federal bankruptcy judge will have to determine how much he can actually pay creditors, halting efforts by his family to recover damages in state court.
Lawyers for the family argued in court that the Infowars host owns numerous companies, making it difficult to track his finances.
His media company, Free Speech Systems, also filed for bankruptcy following the ruling.
Jones claimed on air last year that he was more than $1 million in debt.
