@astraluma After Alex Jones brutally lost in court, his commercial assets were ordered liquidated, to pay off what he owes. InfoWars went on the auction block, and GT (The Onion's owner) won, backed by Sandy Hook families. Jones et al sued over that, and that case has finally been settled in GT's favour. The ironic beauty of that is that that delay gave GT/TO a long time to gear up for the win, so that they were ready the moment it happened -- today.
