Alex Jones blew 93K in a month on dining and vacations as Sandy Hook victims await settlement money



By Brian Niemietz | bniemietz@nydailynews.com | New York Daily News

Heavily indebted "InfoWars" host Alex Jones blew through nearly $100,000 in a single month this summer on expenses including dining, vacations and entertainment.

Meanwhile, the families he tormented with lies about the murders of their loved ones during the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre continue to await nearly $1.5 billion in damages the conspiracy theorist was ordered to pay in November.

Jones -- who's worth an estimated $14 million despite claiming financial hardship -- went through $93,000 in July alone. His expenses included nearly $8,000 in housekeeping costs and $6,700 for a Texas lake house he uses as a second home, according to an expenditure report filed with a Connecticut bankruptcy court. Jones also spent $5,600 on his boats and vehicles that month.

"It is disturbing that Alex Jones continues to spend money on excessive household expenditures and his extravagant lifestyle when that money rightfully belongs to the families he spent years tormenting," a lawyer representing some of the plaintiffs told The Associated Press.

The 49-year-old right-wing activist admitted to supporters he believes that he deserves fine dining and fancy vacations, as he continues raising money off them.

"I like to go to nice restaurants," Jones confessed on his Tuesday program, while telling viewers he's at least $1 million in debt. "That is my deal. I like to go on a couple of nice vacations a year, but I think I pretty much have earned that in this fight."

Jones claimed the January 2012 massacre that left 20 children and six adults dead was a "hoax" constructed by gun control advocates and alleged the families of the victims were part of the coverup. Witnesses who sued Jones for defamation alleged his rhetoric encouraged rabid "InfoWars" supporters and like-minded radicals to harass and torment them.

A July 2022 bankruptcy filing by his show's parent company, Free Speech Systems, has further complicated the collections process against Jones.

But one savvy mum has shared just the hack to help speed up the process in the mornings. The mum, who goes by the name of Azure MacCannell on TikTok, has revealed a super time saving trick. She preps all of the sandwiches for the week, and freezes them. Azure has two lines of separate pieces of bread next to each other, On one line she spreads peanut butter, and on the other line she spreads jam. Azure then places the bread on top of each other to make a sandwich, before using a crust cutter to make the sandwiches into smaller squares. She then puts them into a big container and freezes them and use them "as needed." Azure also freezes the crust for "delicious French toast sticks." The video attracted thousands of likes, with many rushing to the comments section to share their...

33 Crore Gods (Devi / Devtas) of Hindus

33 Crore Gods of Hindus For the believers of God, it is an accepted faith across the globe that God is one. Hindus too believe so, but then there remains a question often shaped as a mockery over Hindus about the various practices of worship rendered to innumerous God in their faith. And this question is often thrown by people, who are philosophically and religiously recognized. How come Hindu religion has 33 crore Gods? Is it sensible at all to believe and practice this? I have a question – How can one decide what is sensible and what is not, particularly when none of those great thinkers have attained perfection in realization of God, none of them have seen God, none of them have heard God. There are numerous instances where religion, religious books and their beliefs have tried to define God. Criticism is an easy thing to do but we have coins with two sides always. Realization of the positive side and its practice is not only hard to recognize but difficult to accept as well. Critic...

OSHO on Ramakrishna

Sri Ramakrishna Enlightenment Osho : There is an episode in Ramakrishna’s life.... For his whole life he had been worshipping Mother Kali, But at the very end he began to feel,”It is duality; the experience of oneness has still not happened. It is lovely, delightful, but two still remains two.” Someone loves a woman, someone loves money, someone politics; he loved Ma Kali – but love still was divided in two. Still the ultimate nonduality hadn’t happened and he was in anguish. He began looking out for a nondualist, a Vedantist – for Some person to come who could show him the path. A Paramahansa named Totapuri was passing. Ramakrishna invited him to stop with him and asked, ”Help me to have darshan of the one.” Totapuri said, ”What’s difficult in that? You believe there are two, so there are two. Drop the belief!” Ramakrishna replied, ”But dropping this belief is very difficult – I have lived with it my whole life. When I close my eyes the image of Kali is standing there. I drown ...
