Looks like the old InfoWars website is back up...

Is something up, or did it get hacked by Alex Jones' crew, maybe?

The headline said Trump picked RFK Jr as HHS Sec, so obviously it's satire....

Filed an injunction of the sale pending review of the process later that afternoon, and I think the judge granted it.
So, for now still, it's Alex's stuff up there

Sounds like someone used an unchanged password to gain (presumably) unauthorized access. This won’t last long. What a stupid / reckless stunt.

So, it's either that or a delay due the court.

Alex will say any old thing. No connection with truth or reality (snap)
