ed note–please note that according to the legal action taken by the Federal government against Jones that he has been broadcasting illegally since 2013– shortly after the entire ‘Sandy Hook Hoax’ fiasco began–a full 5 years, and yet nothing was done to bring him into compliance with FCC law.

The Hill

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has shut down conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’s flagship radio station.

The Austin American-Statesman reported Wednesday that the pirate radio station, Liberty Radio, was hit with a $15,000 fine and at least temporarily pulled from the airwaves.

The newspaper reported that a lawsuit filed in federal court in Austin alleged that Liberty Radio had functioned without a license since at least 2013, and had been transmitting from a tower at an Austin apartment complex.

Liberty Radio stopped airing on the radio in December, but still streams online. The FCC is charging that the station was also illegally broadcasting on an FM wavelength.

The Associated Press reported that Walter Olenick and M. Rae Nadler-Olenick were named as the defendants in the lawsuit, and the apartment complex where the station was transmitting from is linked to the pair.

The Olenicks reportedly told the FCC that they would not pay the fine and would treat any agency representatives as trespassers.

Jones, a conspiracy theorist who founded the site Infowars, has recently been banned by several platforms, including Facebook and YouTube.

Infowars and Jones’s content has also been pulled from Spotify and Vimeo, and Twitter placed restrictions on the accounts for Jones and his site.

Jones has been criticized for some of the conspiracy theories he promotes. The parents of two children killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting have sued him for saying the massacre was staged and a cover-up was orchestrated by the parents of the children.

  1. Wake up people! You might not like AJ but he does have the right to say whats on his mind. If he goes then we’re next. He was just the most well known.
    Oh, by the way I’ve been banned on Twitter, Facebook, and have had 5 youtube channels taken down and one on vimeo and some other video sites. All this before the AJ debacle.

    ed note–typical inanity that is regular fare from JR.
    All of this is as obvious to see as Israel’s role in 9/11, and yes, it is about ‘censorship’, but not in the way your limited understanding and analysis of it intimates.
    As we have pointed out here ad nauseum and as the facts make patently clear on a daily basis now with everything taking place, the entire ‘Sandy Hook Hoax’ fiasco was a carefully contrived and concocted psyop aimed at destroying the 911 truth movement. Alex Jones and his legions of followers, as well as a handful of other dolts ran with this narrative that was cooked up in some Zionist psyops lab did all the dirty work necessary for the enemies of free speech in achieving their end game–shutting down important and ACCURATE discussion of what is taking place today in the world of criminal geo-politics. Jones is not being ‘censored’ because of his accurate discussion of 911. Jones is not being ‘censored’ because of his accurate discussion of Israel. Jones is not being ‘censored’ because of his accurate discussion of the USS LIBERTY. Jones is not being ‘censored’ because of his accurate discussion of the war on terror.
    He is being ‘censored’ because he stupidly fell into the trap of allowing his forum to be the dissemination point for deliberate disinformation dealing with Sandy Hook that has put peoples’ lives in danger.
    In short, Alex Jones is not by any stretch a hero. He is an idiot who has screwed things up for all of us and did so because of ‘free speech’.
    Your comment and the mindset that inspired it is prima facie evidence as to why we as a movement go nowhere. If you were truly as much at the tip of the spear intellectually on this matter as needed than NONE of the previous extended explanation would/should have been necessary. Furthermore, as a ‘movement’, there should be–if truly there were any brains and logical thinking in operation here–a concerted ‘coming to Jesus’ mass movement/moment concerning just what Jones & co did in bringing this disaster about, but, sadly, short of a few websites (including this one) this discussion is simply not taking place. Instead. like geese honking in unison we have various characters in all of this screaming ‘CENSORSHIP’ instead of realizing that this is exactly what Jones deserves and what’s worse is the fact that it is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what is coming for the rest of us.

  2. _Liberty Radio had functioned without a license since at least 2013, _
    Was that because they didn’t pay the fee ?
