"Please Kill Him"-- Alex Jones Discussed 'Benefits' of Assassinating Trump 6 Months Ago

“Please Kill Him”— Alex Jones Discussed Benefits of Assassinating Trump 6 Months Ago

Jones and a guest believed a Trump assassination would trigger “in kind” responses against their political enemies list


6 months ago on his InfoWars show, Alex Jones and his guest, Ivan Raiklin, discussed how assassinating Trump would be beneficial, according to them, because it would lead to retaliatory “in kind” assassinations of a “deep state target list,” a list that names President Joe Biden and others.

The conversation between Jones and Raiklin revealed a twisted glee that political violence against Trump would unleash a response “in kind” against Trump’s “deep state” political opponents:

Ivan Raiklin: “If they [assassinate Trump], option 2, behind Trump, is going to be so much better for us and so much worse for them.”

Alex Jones: “I was about as to say, If they kill him, that’s best case scenario from a sick level. From a sick level medium, ‘Oh, please kill him.’ I mean, it’s so good after that.”


Jones’ guest then characterized what would happen next as a “cleansing.”

Raiklin: “Oh, it’s going to be the best cleansing and the fastest cleansing that we’ve ever seen in my lifetime. I guaran—, I access, with almost certainty, with the highest level of confidence, that if they assassinate Trump, it is so game over for them.”


During the same episode, Jones played the guest’s “deep state target list” video which includes President Joe Biden, Speaker Hakeem Jeffries, former Vice President Mike Pence, and several current and former politicians and government officials, media members, and others.

...it's the most obvious.

I wonder how many other republican-adjacent youth are being radicalized by this culture?

This disturbed young man heard Jones or even somebody we've never heard of say how it would be perfect if Trump were assassinated and decided to do the job himself.

But then again, that world is really jacked up so sense doesn't seem to register there.

Alex Jones has done so much damage. He caused a lot of needless deaths during Covid. My daughter-in-law mother died of Covid because of him. She didn’t get the vaccine even though it was available and tried to treat it with ivermectin. Worm paste for cattle, horses and alpacas.

Augusta Raiklin, 79, a former resident of Highland for two years and Grahamsville for eleven years, passed away Monday, February 4, 2019, at her daughter’s home in Hyde Park (where she resided for the past year) with her family by her side. Born in Khabarovsk, Russia on June 16, 1939, she was the daughter of the late Ivan and Tatiana Tutunikov. A homemaker, Augusta was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. She was known for her generosity, her hospitality and her infectiously warm smile. In October 1969 in Leningrad, Russia, she married Ernest G. Raiklin. He predeceased her on January 2, 2018. Ernest and Augusta immigrated from Russia to the United States in 1974 with three of their four children. Their youngest was born two years later in New York City. In 1981, Augusta was naturalized and became a citizen of the United States. Survivors include her four children, Maria Hoskins and longtime companion, Fred Boardman, of Hyde Park, Paula Banuelos and husband, David, of El Paso, TX, Ben Raiklin, and wife, Yulia, of Madison, WI, and Ivan Raiklin, and wife, Elena, of Alexandria, VA; six grandsons; and one granddaughter. In keeping with her wishes, cremation has taken place. Memorial calling hours will be from 10 am to 2 pm, Saturday, February 9that Sweet’s Funeral Home, Rte. 9, Hyde Park. A reception will follow. A family celebration of her life will take place at 12 noon during the visitation. Burial of her ashes will be private and at the convenience of the family.



So, Ivan Raiklin family are Russians!
