A federal judge on Friday ordered the liquidation of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones ′ personal assets but dismissed his company’s separate bankruptcy case, leaving the future of his Infowars media platform uncertain as he owes $1.5 billion for his false claims that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax.

Judge Christopher Lopez approved converting Jones’ proposed personal bankruptcy reorganization to a liquidation, but threw out the attempted reorganization of his company, Austin, Texas-based Free Speech Systems. Many of the Sandy Hook families had asked that the company also be liquidated.

          I hope that happens but I don’t generally expect authoritarians to give a damn about elections

          But how is the opposition, really? Eg. Péter Magyar frankly seems like a shrewd opportunist who’s liable to end up just being more of the same, being an ex-Fidesz flunky
