Alex Jones' Pirate <br />Flagship Radio Station <br />Shut Down by FCC Liberty Radio, a pirate radio station <br />in Austin, Texas, that served as the flagship <br />outlet for Alex Jones, has been shut down. According to the Austin-American Statesman, <br />the station's operators have also been <br />fined $15,000, which they are refusing to pay. A lawsuit has been filed which alleges that Liberty Radio operated without a license since at least 2013. The FCC tracked the transmissions to <br />a 50-foot tower atop an apartment <br />complex owned by defendants Walter <br />Olenick and M. Rae Nadler-Olenick. In addition to refusing the fine, the Olenicks deny the FCC's authority and threaten trespassing claims <br />if they return. According to the outlet's website, <br />Liberty Radio went off-air in December <br />but continues to stream online. Alex Jones has been banned from most social media platforms to date, citing violations of hate speech.
