So you may have noticed that over the last few days @PrisonPlanet has been linking to articles. But on a site that isn't InfoWars.
It appears Paul has launched his own new venture: summit.news
Every single article has his name on it...
Shall we take a look?

The content is is typical PJW fair taking one of two forms: it's either an article written in his usual style (i.e. someone else has done the work already and he just copies and editorialises over it) or it's a link to one of his poorly-researched YouTube videos.
He first started linking to content on this new site just three days ago. It seems to have been a soft launch as he has given no formal announcement, although I do remember him hinting that he was working on something new a while back.
Over the last two days he has linked to 19 summit.news through his Twitter feed. In that same time he has shared just 5 InfoWars articles. He continues to pump out his standard three articles a day for InfoWars and content is still being added to PrisonPlanet.
But there's been a flurry of activity at summit.news with over thirty pieces content posted in the last three days. Other materials were posted in the preceding two weeks but not to the same degree.
The site appears to still be under construction. There's space for a blog but no entries as yet. Some of the site is still in template format. I'm guessing wordpress. Let me know if I'm right.
There's no information as-yet in the About section.
Here's a very comprehensive list of the site's contributors.
Although oddly, Paul's fellow InfoWars contributor Kit Daniels has his own page set up. It is as yet blank. Did he set this site up for Paul? Does he ghost write or support the content?
Checking the site's domain information doesn't yield much - at least to me, a dunce in these matters. What we can see is that the site was registered in November last year.
It's interesting to note that prisonplanet.com - Paul's baby - is registered in Alex Jones' name.
Maybe the most interesting thing about the new site is that there are no adverts to be seen anywhere. Where's the revenue coming from? What is its business model?
It's not yet clear why this is a separate venture and I am loth to speculate. All we know is that it exists, is seemingly all about Paul, has no adverts, Kit Daniels may be involved, Alex Jones is proably not, and its launch was not formally announced.
Post-script: See also @FactCheckDE's great thread unpicking the lies of one of these new summit.news articles. I mean, it wouldn't be a PJW venture without misinformation, omission, distortion, and good old-fashioned islamophobia.
