Screenshot of a tweet by Pop Base (@PopBase) reporting that The Onion has successfully acquired Alex Jones' Infowars after 17 months of legal battles, with plans to turn it into a parody of itself with support from Sandy Hook families. The post includes a photo of a visibly distressed Alex Jones and the new rainbow-colored Infowars logo.

Streisand effect in action.
JUST IN: American forces stopped an Iranian-flagged cargo ship "by blowing a hole in the engineroom" after it tried to bypass a U.S. naval blockade in the Gulf of Oman, President Trump said.
A couple points on this manifesto, apart from the racial superiority subtext others noted.
Palantir is a company built on public contracts, they bill the state billions to surveil and target the state's population. The manifesto exists to justify their demand for even more.
