“Roger Stone is on rocky terms with his longtime ally Alex Jones, telling a radio show today that he expected a “nice contribution” from the Infowars host to give toward his legal defense fund.
“Actually, I’m kind of disappointed in Alex,” Stone said on SiriusXM’s Jim Norton & Sam Roberts program. “He is not selling the iconic ‘Roger Stone did nothing wrong T-Shirts.’ Which you know, has been a mainstay of my fundraising.
CNN’s Michael Smerconish teed off on Alex Jones after the video deposition of the conspiracy theorist went up online yesterday.
Jones claims in the video––during a deposition in the defamation lawsuit against him––that a form of “psychosis” is to blame for why he believed the Sandy Hook massacre was staged.
Smerconish was bewildered by Jones trying to call his comments “punditry,” pointing out how victims and families are still dealing with their grief.
“These media provocateurs likes Jones,” he said, “they know that passion sells. That’s what this is all about. They need people to pay attention to them. And the best way to do that is to be shocking. Many times with disregard of decency.

Alex Jones / Sandy Hook Video Deposition, Part II:
“It’s time to rehabilitate some of the more extreme social media personalities to prevent things from further going off the rails. If #AlexJones actually is getting psychosis from #deplatforming and media coverage, perhaps it’s time to actually try to have a conversation.

01) Alex Jones Declares Bizarre, Pointless “War” on Joe Rogan
The thing I’d like people to comprehend here…is that the portion where Alex expresses a graphic desire [or was it an actual intent?] to violently murder Joe Rogan, is not the sort of idea or expression, which is unheard of in Alex Jones media…nor, that of his cohorts…
…In fact…they are generally very nasty people, with a very long history of aggression towards other groups…and a very long history of threats of violence, and implied threats of violence…
For those who don’t understand this…Alex Jones and company exist in [and exploit] the same realm, as the religious survivalist and private militia segment of the population…
…I’m not suggesting they are all so rugged, that they could all go survive off the land…but, they hold that same type of isolationist, us versus them, “they’re coming to get us”, mentality…
…And they get extremely crazy [and cruel] at times, when they say things about specific people and groups…
The growing question that has been out there for decades, as relates to Alex and his companions…is where do you draw the line, between claimed “performance art”…and terroristic threat, as well as the chronic dehumanization of others?
Do they even have a disclaimer on any of their broadcasts, displayed or read, clarifying that it is all “performance art”…”comedy”…or whatever?…and that it should not be taken seriously?…
…I’ve never seen nor heard it…and Jones has been on my radar, for about three decades.
“After being removed from YouTube, Alex Jones’ program has become even strange, with particularly incoherent conspiracy theories and more unusual products for sale”
The Dolphin Square fiasco has been exposed as a total fraud…And Alex is still pushing it?…
