Houston (AFP) - A US judge on Friday approved the liquidation of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' personal assets, setting the stage for the repayment of a fraction of the nearly $1.5 billion in damages he owes families whose loved ones were killed in a school shooting. But the bankruptcy judge in Houston spared Jones from liquidating the parent company of his far-right website InfoWars -- long notorious for peddling misinformation -- in a reprieve that will allow it to remain in business. The serial provocateur had been ordered to pay the damages for calling a 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook ...
