Remembering Sandy Hook

I will begin this article by stating forthrightly that I am a “conspiracy theorist” in the normative sense of the term. That is, I am someone who supposes that conspiratorial activity takes place between people of means and power in a way that is not a matter of public record. I contend that this is the default position of sanity and I assert that those who have a particular problem with the assertion I just made are what might be colloquially called “idiots”.

Taking my cue from 9/11 and the egregious violations of common sense that attended that event, I have come to see the “fourth estate” in North America as non-existent. In its place is, I contend, a sophisticated propaganda apparatus that supports the varied agendas of our plutocratic rulers, whose vested interest in endless war is furthered via the manifactured consent of the masses through strict narrative control.

I contend that most of the civilian mass shootings and killings in recent history in the Western democracies have been the result of a social engineering program(s) by various intelligence agencies in support of specific agendas. I have suspected this for a while. What really caught my attention was Sandy Hook, and it is that event which I wish to examine in detail in the remainder of this article. I realize it is past history, but in recent days there has been a disturbing sign that soon “conspiracy theorists” are going to be labeled as domestic terrorists just for entertaining such thoughts, so I thought I would lay out the case for Sandy Hook being fishy while it is still legal to do so.

Let me begin, then, by emphasizing that I don’t know what transpired at Sandy Hook. I wasn’t there, I wasn’t involved. What I do know is that the “official” narrative surrounding Sandy Hook as presented by various media sources was flawed and questionable. I am willing to have my mind changed about this, but to change my mind, someone would have to address the following points to my satisfaction. Much of the following text was borrowed from an article written by James Tracey which I can no longer find online.

1.> Details omitted. The New York Times, the “official historians” of the United States, concluded its final report on Sandy Hook with an article that did not include the names, ages, or gender of the alleged victims of the shooting. The only time in the history of crime reporting that such information has been omitted has been in the case of sex crimes.

2.> Twenty-eight people allegedly died: 27 children and adults, including Adam Lanza, at the school, and his mother, Nancy Lanza, in her home at 36 Yogananda Street, Newtown. However, there is no direct proof of their death: no photographic evidence or video footage was released to confirm the official story that these 28 persons actually died. In fact, no video surveillance footage shows anything — not even Adam shooting out the front plate-glass window or walking through the halls like Rambo, even though this is a school that had updated its security system at the start of the 2012–13 academic year.

Compounding the situation, the parents were not even allowed to view their children’s bodies to identify them. Instead, they were reportedly shown photographs of the deceased. This was done, according to the Medical Examiner, Wayne Carver, in order to “control the situation.” But what was there about the situation that required “control”? No parent of our acquaintance would have agreed to accept the death of a child without viewing the body. James Tracy has published a discussion of the medical examiner’s performance. According to Carver:

Uh, we did not bring the bodies and the families into contact. We took pictures of them, uhm, of their facial features. We have, uh, uh — it’s easier on the families when you do that. Un, there is, uh, a time and place for the up close and personal in the grieving process, but to accomplish this we thought it would be best to do it this way and, uh, you can sort of, uh … You can control a situation depending on the photographer, and I have very good photographers. Uh, but uh —

Remarkably, the state has done its best to avoid releasing the death certificates and even recordings of the 911 calls. Death certificates were eventually “released” but not to the public or those who might want to investigate the case further, where only a short, general summary was available. According to The New York Times, in relation to the 911 calls, “no children are identified by name, no callers indicate that they can see a child being shot, and the only injury described is that of an educator’s being shot in the foot.”

Moreover, the funerals were all “closed casket,” with one exception — that of Noah Pozner, which supposedly included a private viewing before the public ceremony.. As recounted in interviews with the families, the circumstances of their last encounters with their children (or with their caskets) are strange to say the least.

3.> There is no evidence of any frantic effort to save lives or to remove bodies to hospitals; instead the scene outside the school looked calm and largely bloodless — with police and other personnel milling around casually and a severe shortage of dead or injured victims.

In a Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) like Sandy Hook, the proper protocol is START triage (Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment) using tarps of different colors with the aim being to save lives and get the injured to the hospital for treatment. Not even the black tarps for the dead were used, much less the red ones for those who needed immediate treatment.

Sandy Hook Fire Chief Bill Halstead was ready to help the victims but could recall only two wounded people. A few survivors were reportedly taken to the hospital, but, oddly, these people were never interviewed. There were no first-hand accounts that proved anyone was killed or injured. Nonetheless, according to Lt. Vance, 18 children were pronounced dead at the scene, two children were removed to “an area hospital” and were pronounced dead at the hospital, and seven adults were pronounced dead at the scene, including the shooter (NBC).

No emergency vehicles were present at the school or even lined up in the fire lane for a rescue attempt — the parking lot was filled with parked cars, police cars and possibly media vehicles. Such rescue activity as occurred was centered, not on the school premises, but at the nearby Firehouse. Emergency vehicles at the Firehouse were jammed together impeding access to the school, in case anyone might have thought about attempting a rescue. The scene at the Firehouse was quite peculiar, with people milling around and circling through the building, walking out one door and into another.

4.> According to initial reports in the media, weapons used in the shooting included four handguns recovered at the scene, the only guns taken into the school (NBC). Then an AR-15 was said to have been found in the trunk of Lanza’s car (NBC). Then it was reported that Lanza may have carried only two handguns and that a rifle was also found in the school (NBC).

Wayne Carver, the Medical Examiner, said that all the victims were shot with the “long weapon.” Lt. Paul Vance then said that a Bushmaster AR-15 assault weapon with high capacity magazines was used “most of the time” and that Lanza was carrying “many high-capacity clips” for the weapon (Huffington Post).

In January 2013, Connecticut state police released a statement indicating that they had found four guns inside the school: a Bushmaster .223 caliber XM 15-E2S semi-automatic rifle with high capacity 30 round clips, a Glock 10-mm handgun and a Sig-Sauer P226 9mm handgun. They said they also found an Izhmash Canta-12 12-gauge shotgun in Lanza’s car (NBC).

Lt. Vance then asserted that Lanza had killed all his victims with the .223-caliber semi-automatic rifle (ctpost.com). Regarding the confusion, Vance told reporters, “It’s all these conspiracy theorists that are trying to mucky up the waters.” Perhaps “The Top Prize for Fantastical Reporting” goes to Fox News, however, which announced that a 12-gauge shotgun along with two magazines containing 70 rounds of Winchester 12-gauge shotgun rounds had been found in the glove compartment of Adam Lanza’s Honda Civic — that’s right, in the glove compartment.

5.> Adam Lanza can’t have carried out the shooting. Adam Lanza, reportedly a frail young man weighing 120 pounds with Asperger’s Syndrome, is said to have carried massive weaponry on his person when he shot his way into the Sandy Hook school and proceeded to kill 26 people and then himself. This after he supposedly killed his mother before driving to the school.

According to State’s Attorney Stephen Sedensky, Lanza killed his 26 victims with the Bushmaster .223-caliber rifle and then killed himself with his Glock 10-mm handgun. Lanza was also supposedly carrying three 30-round magazines for the Bushmaster as well as a Sig-Sauer 9 mm handgun (see above). The victims were shot multiple times each in a fusillade of bullets from these military-style weapons. In order to wreak this havoc, he fired more than 150 rounds, and he must have carried more rounds in addition. Lanza was reportedly found dead wearing a bulletproof vest and military-style clothing (AP).

As Mike Powers, a professional military investigator and ballistics expert, has observed, this young man of slight build could not have carried all these heavy, bulky weapons and ammunition on his person. Furthermore, since first responders were supposedly inside the school within seven minutes, there was not enough time for Lanza to have carried out the shooting as reported. In an interview with Joyce Riley, Powers states that Lanza could not have fired so many times continuously without destabilizing himself from the intense noise from the Bushmaster. As a novice, he could not have shot an AR-15 with such speed and accuracy, supposedly changing magazines 8–10 times without a stoppage.

According to Lt. Vance on the night of the shooting, one victim survived. So in less than seven minutes — or less than five minutes according to the media — Lanza killed 26 people and then himself, producing only one injured victim. This is a 96% kill ratio, which is unheard-of accuracy among the most experienced marksmen. Powers thinks the whole scenario is a physical impossibility. He is not even convinced that Adam Lanza was a real person. The story of the shooting should not be taken seriously.

The final travesty involves the weapons and other paraphernalia that were allegedly found in the Lanza house. The “arsenal” supposedly included guns, Samurai swords, knives, a bayonet and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition, according to search warrants released. Other items of interest were ear and eye protection, binoculars, holsters, manuals, paper targets, a military-style uniform and Lanza’s NRA certificate (Fox). Lanza had reportedly compiled a spreadsheet 7 feet long and 4 feet wide in 9-point type detailing 500 victims of other mass murders (CBS). We are supposed to believe this, and, at the same time, that Adam Lanza was a shy, quiet kid who didn’t like noise and chaos, as promoted by the PBS Frontline Special,“Raising Adam Lanza.”

6.> A man dressed in black was seen fleeing into the woods from the site of the incident. Police chased him, apprehended him, and put him in handcuffs in the back of their squad car. Video of this is readily available on Youtube for the time being. Seem plausible to you that none of the news networks had any interest in covering this angle of the story?

7.> Key participants displayed bizarre behaviour. There are many bizarre media reports and interviews of those associated with the “shooting.” Some examples:

Wayne Carver — Medical Examiner Wayne Carver’s surreal press conference is one of the most startling of all the media offerings. Widely available on youtube, this event shows H. Wayne Carver II, a public official of some standing, clowning and acting outlandish — grinning strangely, making irrelevant comments, and basically appearing unknowledgeable and unprofessional.

Robbie Parker — Perhaps the most famous press conference is that of Robbie Parker, the alleged father of victim Emilie Parker, speaking on a CNN report of December 15, 2012. He chuckles as he walks up to the camera, then gets into character by hyperventilating, and finally feigns distress as he talks about his daughter — and about the fund set up to help raise money “for Emilie.”

The families — In addition to Robbie and Alissa Parker, other parents and family members take their turn in the spotlight, including (but not limited to) Mark and Jackie Barden, Jimmy Greene and Nelba Marquez-Greene, Ian and Nicole Hockley, Neil Heslin (alleged father of Jesse Lewis), Chris and Lynn McDonnell, Veronique Pozner, Carlee Soto, and David and Francine Wheeler. Anderson Cooper is the interviewer in two notable instances: his conversation with the McDonnells mentioned above, and an interview with Veronique Pozner, remarkable for its green-screen effects such as Anderson’s disappearing nose.

The school nurse — Numerous reports offer detailed and totally fictitious information, some of which was later abandoned in favor of more tenable versions. On the evening of December 14, a USA Today reporter said she had spoken with the school nurse, whom she had met on the street. The nurse told her that the gunman had come into her office, “they met eyes, she jumped under her desk,” and he walked out. The nurse said that the gunman was the son of the kindergarten teacher, who was known to her and “an absolutely loving person.” It later developed that Nancy Lanza had not been a kindergarten teacher at all, and that neither Nancy nor Adam had any connection to Sandy Hook school whatsoever.

Dawn Hochsprung — In an embarrassing fiction, The Newtown Bee reported on 14 December 2013 that Dawn Hochsprung, the Sandy Hook school principal, told the paper that a masked man had entered the school with a rifle and started shooting multiple shots — more than she could count — that went “on and on.” Of course, Dawn Hochsprung was allegedly killed by Adam Lanza and so could not easily have provided this statement. In fact, Dawn was said to have acted heroically, dying while lunging at the gunman — although one wonders who witnessed and reported this act of heroism. On 17 December 2013, The Bee retracted the report and apologized:

An early online report from the scene at the December 14 shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School quoted a woman who identified herself to our reporter as the principal of the school. The woman was not the school’s principal, Dawn Hochsprung, who was killed in the Friday morning attack. The quote was removed from subsequent online versions of the story, but the original story did remain in our online archive for three days before being deleted. We apologize for whatever confusion this may have caused our readers and for any pain or anguish it may have caused the Hochsprung family.

Now, let’s be clear. None of this is proof that “nobody died at Sandy Hook” or that “crisis actors” were involved in creating a dramatic spectacle. I am not a fan of trying to figure out what did actually happen in these cases, because theories can be tenuous and become low-hanging fruit for people to debunk or make straw men out of. All I know is what didn’t happen at Sandy Hook, and I know Adam Lanza didn’t single-handedly murder multiple children in the way we were led to believe. The evidence to say otherwise doesn’t exist.

I’m not sure any of this will matter to those who are determined to ignore it because of cognitive dissonance or whatever, but I thought it was worth the effort to preserve some of this information for those who in the coming days need to know the history of what appears to be an ongoing effort to engineer consent for an enhanced police state.

Two things stick in my mind about the Sandy Hook ordeal more than anything else. One was the photo of Adam Lanza that was circulated… his eyes vacant, his face expressionless, his cheeks hollow and sunken… due to a very very obvious photoshopping of his likeness. The other thing that sticks in my mind was Barack Obama breaking down in tears while discussing the event, and again four years later… a career politician, a hard-nosed pragmatist, bomber of 8 countries, surely no stranger to political theatre. One might well imagine his teleprompter at the time read: “weep here”. I don’t know much, but I know when someone is trying to manipulate my feelings and jerk me around. I’ve worked in sales enough to be that cynical.

I can only conclude that we’ve been conditioned to be duped and that we’re being not-so-subtly played by people even more cynical than I am. Perhaps it takes a cynic to see the handiwork of others, I donno. Anyways, from the looks of things, the other shoe is about to drop. Perhaps it’s best that it does… it seems like those who aren’t already awake to this kind of thing have made a choice to stay asleep. I’m not sure it’s my place to tell them that’s a bad idea.
