The US communications regulator has shut down Alex Jones’ flagship radio station and slapped it with a $15,000 fine. The news comes after the controversial commentator was banned from a range of social media outlets.
A lawsuit filed in the US District Court in Austin this week accuses Liberty Radio of operating without federal consent since at least 2013, the Austin American-Statesman reports.
The Austin-based station has been solely streaming online since December, when it was knocked off the air. The newspaper reported that religious programming has replaced Liberty Radio on the 90.1 FM frequency.
Agents from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) traced the station’s signal to a 50-foot tower at an apartment complex linked to the to defendants in the lawsuit, Walter Olenick and M. Rae Nadler-Olenick. The court documents indicate that the station was being operated out of some sort of maintenance or utility room at the complex.
The FCC also levied a $15,000 fine against the Olenicks. However, AP reports that they told the commission they will not pay the fine and will treat any agency representatives that return to their property as trespassers.
Jones’ website Infowars was banned from Facebook, Youtube, Apple and Spotify last week for violating the outlets’ community standards and spreading “hate speech.”
He was later suspended from Twitter after he used the platform to call on US President Donald Trump to “take action”against tech companies censoring his content. The moves sparked an intense debate about free speech and the rise of political censorship by private companies.
Infowars has continued to operate and has even experienced a surge in popularity in the wake of the restrictions. However, on Tuesday, the website itself went offline in what staff called a cyberattack. It has since resumed operating normally.
They certainly do have all the charlatans, hucksters, barkers and carnies leading the controlled opposition revolution on the big screen, don’t they? Any concessions made during this purge will affect real media and leave only those with the equivalent of 501c3 approved status will be allowed to operate.
Yeah, and in the midst of all this I keep asking (like many have over the years) what if Trenches is blocked? I know it’s up to each individually to live and be The Bill of Rights, yet scratch my head for ways we might still stay connected. What to do? Snail-mail newsletter? Underground railroad? Thinking, thinking. For now, may Trenches get flooded with support/funding. Crossing one bridge at a time.

I hear ya, Galen. It’d be like being shot back into the past! The means to disseminate false information has always been in the hands of tptb and it bought them MONTHS of a head start against US. Now that we’ve even got a glimmer of an even playing field, they’re not having it. I am not a tech savvy guy so I have no clue as to how to counter their censorship, unfortunately. What has been done in the darkness is finally coming to light. Regardless, desperate times call for desperate measures.
How about e-mail for starters!!!
Some of us exchanged e-mails & phone #’s when they were shutting us down (successfully, for days) a few years back.
What do you mean If Trenches is blocked I watched an article a few days ago not praising Israel disappear right in front of me here
Some good suggestions here. And as they say, “Hope springs eternal.”
Today someone told me self-discipline was a very important component in the struggle. Not a strong point of mine, but I’ve had moments. Still, guilt welled up inside me. Then that someone said, “Don’t worry about perfection. But if you can, reach for excellence.” Then I sat down and had a cup of coffee.
Excellence!! All I know right now is I miss my dog. I didn’t tell y’al, but he left me a few days ago, after 17 years together. He was excellence, some of the purest excellence I’ve ever experienced.
Well a daily walk does wonders. But Mark already told us that.

So sorry to hear about your pup. It is losing a best friend and then some, Galen. I have a 9mo old pit/American bully now that I bought in my driveway at work when she was 8wks old. Gf told me jokingly to bring her home a dog after the month before we put the last of our rescued shar-pei down due to age and health. Got 6 stitches in my face from one, 8 stitches in my forearm from another one but it’s amazing what you can do in a kitchen medically. . Long story short, the day she said “bring me home a dog” because she knew I was working on someone from operation justice, a neighbor with an 8wk old pup pulled her out to show me and I bought her. It will come to you and it will be a blessing that you will appreciate the love of and for even MORE than the loss you know now. Your loss will help you to appreciate your gain in the future. Again, I am sorry for your heartache.
Thank you, Martist, for your understanding and for sharing your doggie stories. How they bless our lives!! But hey, no more stitches!!
🙂
I have moved this fight into the church.. keep going people!
As to if the criminal psychos close down FTTWR–after I had a heart attack (just kidding), I would get in touch with Henry (maybe) and begin a “samizdat” (a technique or platform used by ordinary Russians in the Stalin era, using pen and paper, copy machines, etc, to get the truth out) thing. Folks, we cannot rely on some “leader” to “save us” (Mike Adams’ article posted here the other day) and we are just going to have to get together somehow. I have written fiction novels. I am seriously considering writing whatever I can about overcoming this evil (and I don’t mean religion either. Accepting Christ is a choice. Fighting evil is NOT A CHOICE!)
I WANT A CONFIRMATION STATEMENT ON THIS STORY AS ALEX JONES says it is not true
PUBLISH IT in this Blog…WHILE I CONTACT THE FCC OPERATIVES

The core issue here is, and why InfoWars matters; If Alex Jones can be censored then EVERYONE can be. We no longer have a First Amendment Right. There will be more people and webs sites shut down. This is a high tech book burning. This is not going to end well. Remember Lefties want total control over your life and they do hate you
Alex is an act
He’s an actor , proven fact
This whole “I’m shut down “
Is also an act
I do get what it represents or what the controlled opposition wants us to believe
And I also think they will use this to hide the truth about the evil that surrounds us
But as far as the person Alex and his “show”(right?) it’s all for $$$
“Remember Lefties want total control over your life and they do hate you”
And the righty republicans called the other day for the righty president to have the authority to shut down anything he considers fake news.
I think those righties hate me too.
Hahaha! Don’t you just get sick of those left/right paradigm people who just follow a party blindly as though it were a good vs evil thing or an allegiance thing when in actuality they are both 110% evil.
was 90.1 a micro broadcast station.
“However, AP reports that they told the commission they will not pay the fine and will treat any agency representatives that return to their property as trespassers.”
The kind of trespassers who are SHOT ON SIGHT???
Not very likely, considering it’s AJ’s crowd.

JONES is, of course, a gatekeeper and MIS–direction and SPOOK.
Understand, USURY–INTEL was already firmly established in TX in by 1840.
It’s been a ‘fave’ base of hoax–craft ever since.
meanwhile – –
USURY –abolished– our republic in 1933
They have pulled off their RED CHINA set up and handover agenda
They have franchise slummed and debauched the land
– -And, in 2018, it has come undeniably to light that over –80%– of our ‘male’ population
are –in fact– in utero subverted, sex damned – — FTMs.
Again – — KEEP running that CLOCK.

Band : Henry Rollins Band
Song : Liar
Very intense song. Sadly too real. Okay, so Rollins puts me in my place. Is there any who can say he himself has never lied? Years ago, I gave myself permission to tell harmless lies. Not out of a sense of deception but rather self-preservation. Is everyone a sometimes liar? Can’t say, but would guess the percentage is in the high 90’s. Plato might have been right, concerning The Noble Lie, but not in terms of the state maintaining power; just in terms of the individual’s decision on how a lie might serve his objective. For instanceI would lie to Bibi.
Yet, if in, say, one months time I tell only one lie, that is so outdone by how many times I’ve told the truth, reached for authenticity. But maybe I am lying to myself. I guess the lie could take us down:

It was never a flagship station. It was a pirate radio station operating with the wattage of a house light bulb. The pirates were obviously fans of Jones but had nothing to do with him or the show. Alex knew nothing of them and was not affiliated in anyway. The shut down came in December last year and there was never a federal raid. There are 2 sides to every story and this was the side Infowars put out on Thursdays show…yesterday…the day after the misleading story was released. If only he could back out of ever saying reptilian and replace the word globalist half the time with jew or Israel instead and in particular stop hawking the vitamin and energy supplements every 5 minutes he might attract a larger audience. It was a woman in Florida named Lucy Richard who went Cuckoo Cuckoo over Sandy Hook parent of child victim Noah Pozner and no one else. Why did Noah’s picture show up in Pakistan protests 2 years later after their big school shooting implying the same child was killed there is just one more question adding to the speculations about Sandy Hook. Bottom line is it’s his show and free speech. Even Eddie Munster pulled the wig off the great Zombo or whatever episode that was.
“If only he could back out of ever saying reptilian and replace the word globalist half the time with jew or Israel instead…”
Peter, that’s a mighty big “if only!!” I mean that’s the main point. The gatekeeping. Sorry to repeat this but it’s fruitless to keep putting out fires and never get to who’s holding the matches.
I cannot forgive this (Arabs run Hollywood) deception, not when so many live with their necks on the chopping block, risking everything. And what’s he been saying about The Bill of Rights? I really wouldn’t know since I’ve not listened in years. Far as I’m concerned, he’s a deserter. And last I checked, pro-Israel. Some say he’s a shill, compromised from the beginning. And on 9/11, him no pass litmus test. Poor Alex, took the dangling carrot.
