Alex Jones has given a deposition, as a part of the civil suit filed against him by families of Sandy Hook victims.
Here's the transcript: www.scribd.com/document/403646647/Alex-Jones-Sandy-Hook-Deposition
From it ("Q" is the opposing lawyer, "A" is Alex Jones):
And:
And finally:
There's more in there, from Iraq to Oklahoma City. And he's really stuck on the "babies in incubators" bit.
In my view, it's clear that Jones knows he's peddling total bullshit almost always. The psychosis line is both hysterical and pathetic.

From it ("Q" is the opposing lawyer, "A" is Alex Jones):
Q. Can you now admit that you’ve done anoutrageous wrong to these parents? Can you admit that?
A. You know, the mainstream media is who always takes it and makes it a huge issue and then says that I’m saying it and gets me to respond. And it’s lawyers like you and people that glom onto this for fame that then try to get the fame and then say that I’m the person that’s promoting it. And it’s obscene, in my view.
Q. So that’s "no"?
A. No. I genuinely questioned it. You know, I think the Government and the media that’s been caugh tlying so much has created an atmosphere where people don’t know what’s true

Q. So that’s "no"?
A. No. I genuinely questioned it. You know, I think the Government and the media that’s been caugh tlying so much has created an atmosphere where people don’t know what’s true
A. Well, I want to be clear: I believe children died. I believe there was a mass shooting. I still think that there was a man in the woods in camo. There were other reports. I saw the video. And I believe that, you know, normally after every person -- remember,it’s happened before -- every person in a shooting died;and just a lot of experts I’ve talked to, including retired FBI agents and other people and people high up in the Central Intelligence Agency, have told me that there is a cover-up in Sandy Hook.
Q. Okay, Mr. Jones. You would agree with me that when some damage happens, when you break something, when you cause something to be lost, when you hurt somebody,whether it’s intentional or whether it’s a mistake,there’s consequences for that, right? People should be accountable for the people they hurt?
A. Well, sometimes people claim they’ve been hurt when they haven’t been. So you have to look at the agenda behind things. You have to balance things about why has the mainstream media lied so much, why our Government’s lied so much, the fact that the public doesn’t believe what they’re told anymore, and are we going to criminalize questioning Jussie Smollett or WMDs or babies in incubators. And it really is the fact that we’ve allowed the Government and institutions to become so corrupt that people have lost any compass of what’s real. And I, myself, have almost had like aform 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. So I think as a pundit, someone giving an opinion, that, you know, my opinions have been wrong; but they were never wrong consciously to hurt people. And so I think it’s part of that process of me growing up in Rockwall, Texas and watching the police deal drugs and then conduct anti-drug programs in the school, I think that shook my opinion of police ingeneral. And I was very anti-law enforcement until Igrew up and learned more things, and now I’m pretty much pro police. So it’s been a process.
Q. (BY MR. BANKSTON) You said false things about Sandy Hook because it was psychosis?
A. I --
Q. (BY MR. BANKSTON) Correct?
A. Well, I’m just saying that 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. So long before these lawsuits I said that in the past I thought everything was a conspiracy and I would kind of get into that mass group think of the communities that were out there saying that. And so now I see that it’s more in the middle. All right? So that’s where I stand.
