NATION-WORLD Infowars' Alex Jones blames Sandy Hook conspiracy claims on 'psychosis' Several families say that Jones' comments have subjected them to harassment and death threats by his followers. Author: Associated Press Published: 3:38 PM PDT March 30, 2019 Updated: 3:41 PM PDT March 30, 2019
Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones blamed the various claims he's made over the years, including that the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre was a hoax, on "psychosis," according to a deposition the "Infowars" host has given as part of a Texas lawsuit.
Jones described his conspiracy thinking as a kind of mental disorder during the deposition taken earlier this month for the lawsuit filed against him by the family of a 6-year-old who was among the 20 children and six adults killed in the Newtown, Connecticut, attack, the Austin American-Statesman reported .
Jones said during the deposition that he "almost had like a form of psychosis back in the past where I basically thought everything was staged, even though I'm now learning a lot of times things aren't staged."
Jones blamed his mental state on "the trauma of the media and the corporations lying so much, then everything begins — you don't trust anything anymore, kind of like a child whose parents lie to them over and over again, well, pretty soon they don't know what reality is."
The defamation lawsuit was filed in Travis County, Texas, where Jones' media company is based. In August, the judge presiding over the lawsuit denied Jones' request to dismiss the case .
Jones' attorneys have defended his speech in court as "rhetorical hyperbole," but denied it was defamation.
During the deposition, Jones continued to voice conspiratorial suspicions about the shooting.

Wow...who knew Jones was mentally ill...?
/ sarcasm...
Yet some of them still contaminate this site with their "crisis actor" crap, or the other conspiracy theorists who shall not be named, who drop their kookery in every thread they can.
There’s a guy at my work who listens to him all the time. I always paraphrase Robin Williams from Good Morning Vietnam to him when Jones is playing on his phone.
“You are in more dire need of a cough drop in any white man in history“
Well, to his credit, Jim did quarantine the kooks to their daily dedicated thread.
I'm good with that.
“I have no love, no respect for Alex Jones. But this sounds like more fake news and a hit piece to me.”
It’s directly from a deposition he made the other day.
Apparently his psychosis hasn't cleared up entirely.
The old, non compos mentis excuse, eh? Unfortunately, if his remarks in this article are true, I would expect each one of them to be followed by, “Yeeeaaah...that’s the ticket!”
He’d be better off having a psychiatrist explain his “condition”, but then, I’m afraid that instead of going home, he’d be carted off to a rubber room.
I don’t think I’ve watched more than 10 minutes of him, total, but he’s either on speed, or he has a mental condition, one of the symptom of which, is pressured speech.
What is “Sandy Hook truther” stuff? We’ve had discussions on this around here too. Some events are questionable. Sandy Hook is one of them.
Cue Twilight Zone intro.
Cue? Let’s not go there! :)
I will take anyone who fights against Globalists, Socalists, and Commies.
I have always thought he was nuts and dangerous.
I certainly understand THIS:
” Jones blamed his mental state on “the trauma of the media and the corporations lying so much, then everything begins — you don’t trust anything anymore, kind of like a child whose parents lie to them over and over again, well, pretty soon they don’t know what reality is.” “
The MSM is such damned liars they could say the sky was blue and I would pull over the car get out and confirm it.
Here’s the real Alex Jones, going after one of greatest conservative minds of our time, Michelle Malkin, all of about 5’, 100 lbs. of her. Listen to everything he screams at her in this video. Alex Jones is an absolute vile pile of steaming dog crap playing very the very gullible for all they are worth.

Hopefully you’ll add conservatives and very small women to that list now. He is a POS.
Sometimes he’s crazy, when the chips were down in 2013, he got on the piers Morgan show, and backed the left the heck back. Trump also praise him.
Trump, and no man or woman with a shred of decency, would support anything about Alex Jones after seeing that video. He is a classic snake oil salesman leading a ship of fools.
By this measure shouldn't every Democrat politicians and reporter be on trial facing financial ruin for calling Trump a traitor and Russian agent?
I think that was partially lifted last year -

I am not sure what has happened after that, however.
