“[T]he names and ‘contextually identifying information of
involved children’ were withheld, including descriptions of the
children, their clothing and their belongings”–Reuben F. Bradford,
Commissioner, Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection
The New York Times,
our nation’s newspaper of record (which records the “official history”
of the United States), has reported that, with its “final report,” the
criminal investigation of Sandy Hook by the State of Connecticut is
over.
Remarkably, the report does not even include the names, the ages or
the sex of the alleged victims of the shooting. There is no actual
identification of any of the dead. Even the
Danbury, CT, Newstimes found it unsatisfying.
Even the 52 “autopsy photos” that accompany the report are redacted.
The Times itself appears to be responsible for a stunning display of
journalistic incompetence on a matter of enormous public concern.
Anyone with the inclination can comb through hundreds of years of
American crime reports and will not find an instance in the which the
names, the ages or the sex of the victims is not given–with the
exception of victims of sex crimes. Withholding this information is
part of a pattern of deception and deceit that extends to the Clerk of
Newtown making secret arrangements with the state legislature to avoid
releasing death certificates to the public, attempts to withhold the 911
calls and gag orders imposed upon those responsible for tearing down
the building itself:
In a letter accompanying the report, Reuben F. Bradford,
the commissioner of the state’s Department of Emergency Services and
Public Protection, said the names and “contextually identifying
information of involved children” were withheld, including descriptions
of the children, their clothing and their belongings. “All visual images
depicting the deceased have been withheld,” he added, “as well as
written descriptions whose disclosure would be highly offensive to a
reasonable person and would violate the constitutional rights of the
families.”
The commissioner said that balancing the “often competing interests
of government transparency and individual privacy has been difficult,”
but the situation is completely absurd.
This appears to be only the
latest in a series of obscene measures being adopted to conceal from
the public that the Sandy Hook “massacre” was in fact an elaborately
staged hoax, which no one who takes a serious look at the evidence can
reasonably deny because, in view of what we have now proven about the
event, no alternative explanation is reasonable.
The basic principle that applies here is
inference to the best explanation. Consider the totality of the evidence in this case.
Is
the evidence more probable on the hypothesis that Sandy Hook was a real
event or that it was instead an exercise (or a “drill”) , which was
presented as though it had been a real event? The hypothesis that
confers the highest probability on the evidence is the preferable,
which, when the evidence has “settled down,” is acceptable as true in
the tentative and fallible fashion of science. Here are the “top ten”
reasons that support the conclusion that Sandy Hook was staged and not
real, where no children or adults appear to have died there.
1. Proof of death has been suppressed
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.
The best the authorities could come up with was
a heavily redacted report that
includes numerous photos of the inside of the school, with a few dings
that look like bullet holes, several bullets on the floor, and many
black images with white numbers, which we are supposed to associate with
dead people. One photo (left) shows the blown-out glass
window
through which Adam Lanza presumably entered the premises. But how did
he get past the furniture, with all his weaponry, without moving
anything out of position?
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. 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. The “love fest” at the white coffin of Grace McDonnell was detailed on CNN for Anderson Cooper:
Veronique Pozner gave her account of her last look at her son Noah to the
Jewish Daily Forward on 26 December 2013.
Veronique asked the medical examiners not to autopsy her
son; she felt that his body had suffered too many indignities. At his
funeral, Noah was dressed in a suit and tie. A Jewish friend of
Veronique’s at work enjoined Rabbi Praver to allow him to be wrapped in a
blue tallis, even though he had not yet had a bar mitzvah.The family
placed stuffed animals, a blanket and letters to Noah into the casket.
Lastly, Veronique put a clear plastic rock with a white angel inside —
an “angel stone” — in his right hand. She asked the funeral director to
place an identical one in his left, which was badly mangled.
Just before the ceremony, Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy came to
the funeral home to pay his respects. Veronique took him by the arm and
brought him to the casket. Noah’s famously long eyelashes — which she
spoke about in her eulogy — rested lightly on his cheeks and a cloth
covered the place where the lower half of his face had been. “I just
needed it to be real for [the governor],” she says. “This was a live,
warm, energetic little boy whose life was snuffed out in a fraction of a
second because our schools are so defenseless.”
2. Emergency protocols were not followed
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. One Sandy
Hook researcher decided to call Lt. Paul Vance to ask who cleaned up the
blood, which would have been considered to be a bio-hazard, and got the
reply, “What blood?”
Here
is Jim Fetzer’s interview with Kelley from Tulsa on “The Real Deal”
where she discusses this, which also includes several of the 911 calls.
Kelley was onto a real issue. Under
the CT Medical Waste Tracking Act of 1988,
a paper trail must kept by all parties involved in the clean up and
must be tracked all the way to the incinerator with names and dates.
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. As Sofia Smallstorm has documented, nothing at all like this
occurred at Sandy Hook: the appropriate protocols were not followed:
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, to give the impression of lots of
people and lots of action:
3. Drill protocols were followed instead
We are now living in a
security state, and the school system is among its beneficiaries. While we used to have “fire drills” from time to time, we now have
“lockdown drills” implemented by school districts, with some states requiring a set number of drills by law. Private
security firms, which operate for profit, now conduct “crisis
preparedness assessments” at the tax-payer’s expense.
Larger scenarios are also developed as active-shooter drills, in
which local law enforcement can take part in storming a school in
pursuit of an active-actor-shooter. One such plan available on the web
is
“Operation Closed Campus”
developed in Iowa following guidance set forth by the Homeland Security
Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) of the US Department of
Homeland Security.
According to protocol, everyone at the drill must check in,
identification badges are issued to personnel and observers, and
drinking water and restrooms are available. Personnel include the
director, staff, controllers, evaluators, actors, media personnel and
“players” (agency employees) both in uniforms and civilian clothes. This
protocol appears to have been followed at Sandy Hook, where many
participants wore ID/identification badges on
lanyards, a huge check-in sign is visible and even Porta Potties are at the ready.
An emergency
preparedness
drill took place on 14 December 2012, 9 AM to 4 PM/ET, in Bridgeport,
CT, which is a 20 minute drive from Sandy Hook. The course was run by
the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public
Protection/Emergency Management and Homeland Security, entitled
“Planning for the Needs of Children in Disasters.”
The Sandy Hook “shooting” appears to have been an Integrated Capstone
Event (ICE), an exercise run by FEMA to coordinate federal, state and
local emergency response teams in the case of a mass-casualty event. As
such, it would have utilized actors and media partners to simulate a
tragedy in order to train participants, and also in order to observe the
reaction of the citizenry.
4. There was foreknowledge of the event
The Connecticut state emergency system was taken over long before the “massacre” occurred,
with a frequency change implemented five hours in advance of the
“shooting.” Normal police and EMS dispatch protocol, using the Alpha
Phonetic System for communications between officers and dispatchers, was
replaced with staged transmissions by non-trained personnel.
In addition,
tweets about the shooting began before it occurred,
a tribute was apparently uploaded one month before the event, and web
pages honoring the victims, including a Facebook page R.I.P. Victoria
Soto, were established before they had “officially” died.
A Sandy Hook timeline has been reconstructed at
memoryholeblog.com, detailing major developments and highlighting the numerous inconsistencies in reports by the media.
5. There were contradictory reports about the weapons
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).
This shotgun is also shown in a video aired on the night of 14
December 2013 by NBC. An evidence collection team and a policeman find
the gun in the trunk of Lanza’s Honda Civic—the policeman handles the
gun without gloves and ejects the ammunition on the spot. Some have seen
two long guns in the trunk in the NBC video: the 12-gauge shotgun and
the Bushmaster rifle.
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.
6. Adam Lanza cannot have done 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.”
7. Key participants displayed inappropriate behavior
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.
Gene Rosen—Gene Rosen is one of the most prolific of the Sandy
Hook media stars, giving animated and conflicting statements to a
series of reporters (in English and Spanish). Considered a “good
Samaritan” by the mainstream media, Gene supposedly harbored six
children who ran away from the school, rode to his house on a school
bus, sat down on his lawn and proceeded to cry and tell him that their
teacher, Miss Soto, was dead. Strangely, Rosen took the children inside
and gave them some toys to play with, instead of calling 911 like any
normal person.
The Gene Rosen videos are important for the official narrative, in
that they corroborate many of its details: the staccato gunfire (and
thus a semi-automatic weapon) and heresay evidence from the children
(Lanza had a big gun and a little gun, Vicki Soto was killed,
etc.).These incriminating videos are some of the best evidence that the
Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax.
8. Photos at scene and of victims look staged or fake
The only photo we have seen of any children being evacuated from the
school was apparently taken earlier in the fall during a drill (no
coats, smiling faces). Shannon Hicks, a photographer for
The Newtown Bee, took the photo and claims to have taken many others of the event—which have not been released.
Hicks reportedly took this photo “as an associate editor” and then,
when another editor arrived, “changed into her firefighting gear and
tried to help.”
The account was promoted by NPR.
Perhaps more insidious are the photographs of the children who
allegedly died at Sandy Hook, many of which are concoctions prepared on
Photoshop. Some of the most problematic involve the Parker family, with
Emilie’s red-and-black dress supposedly worn by her younger sister for
the visit with Obama.
The photograph of Victoria Soto’s class of students has been shown to be an elaborate composite:
And many of the individual images of the children released to the
media are peculiar—some look outdated and may be old photos. In a very
sloppy slip-up, a photo of a real child, Lily Gaubert (right, below),
who is alive and well, was promoted in the media as an image of Allison
Wyatt (left, below), an alleged victim. Lily’s mother discovered the
error and made it public.
And the ridiculously fraudulent photographs of Adam Lanza clearly do not depict a real person:
9. The crime scene was completely destroyed
As with Ground Zero after 9/11, Sandy Hook Elementary and all the evidence have been completely obliterated;
$50 million in CT state funds were
allocated for the demolition and rebuilding of Sandy Hook school. This
would never have been tolerated if an actual crime had been committed—at
least one that was meant to be investigated. The demolition of the
school has now been declared complete.
Employees who worked on the project were required to sign
non-disclosure agreements.
They were not only prohibited from removing anything from the site, but
they were forbidden from discussing publicly anything they may have
observed or not observed during the demolition, such as an absence of
bullet marks on the walls or blood on the floor of the classrooms.
10. Deceased children sang at the Super Bowl
Recent research has resulted in a “Sandy Hoax Surprise,” a convincing
youtube video identifying eight alleged Sandy Hook victims and six of
their brothers singing in the Newtown children’s choir at the 2013 Super
Bowl.
One more victim has been identified since the original video, making a
total of 15 out of the 21 children in the choir who were from the Sandy
Hook “families.” The newly recognized “victims” are all older than they
appear in their photos, giving credence to the theory that the
children’s photographs were outdated images.
The Newtown children, whoever they are, seem quite happy to be
singing at the Super Bowl, smiling and running across the field after
the event—giving no sign of the trauma they had been through less than
two months prior. So are these children actually alive? One can only
hope.
Cui bono?
The evidence demonstrates (1) that proof of death has been
suppressed, (2) that emergency protocols were not followed, (3) that
drill protocols were followed, (4) that there was foreknowledge of the
event, (5) that there was confusion over what weapons were used, (6)
that the suspect cannot possibly have carried out the shooting as
claimed, (7) that strange behavior was displayed by officials, witnesses
and relatives, (8) that there are many odd photos of participants, (9)
that the crime scene was destroyed under conditions of secrecy and (10)
that some of the children appeared at the Super Bowl.
With the possible exception of (5) and (9), all of these features
would have low probabilities had Sandy Hook been a massacre but high
probabilities were it merely a drill. Some of them are decisive by
themselves, such as (1), (2), (3), (4) and (6)–not to mention (10).
EMTs
cannot make determinations of whether a victim is dead or alive, so
there should have been a surge of EMTs into the building to rush those
little bodies off to hospitals where doctors could determine their
condition. But that was not done–and nothing else about this event
supports the conclusion that it was real. On the contrary, virtually everything indicates that this was a drill.
The probability of the evidence on the hypothesis that this was a
drill is overwhelmingly greater than on the hypothesis that it was an
actual massacre. And the evidence appears to have “settled down” and
point in the same direction. No alternative is reasonable, which means
it has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
So who did it and why?
This is the final question. If the perpetrator had been Adam Lanza,
then he had no apparent motive, as even “the final report”
acknowledged. When considering
cui bono (who benefits), a large amount of money is at stake–and much of it has already been distributed.
Follow the Money
First of all, the construction industry got a boost, with the
$50 million in
Connecticut state funds allocated for the destruction of Sandy Hook
School and to rebuild a new school on the premises. And this from a
state with
a projected budget deficit of $1.1 billion for the coming year.
The Sandy Hook School Support Fund has raised approximately
$12 million and
distributed it to the Newtown-Sandy Hook Community Foundation, overseen
by Ken Feinberg, “a victim compensation master with a national
reputation,” according to United Way Western Connecticut.
And the Support Fund posted its condolences on 11 December 2013, which was three days before the actual event.
The estimated
payout was
$281,000 paid
to each of the victims’ families, who have raised additional funds from
their own websites—some of which were apparently advertised on the web
in advance of the shooting. At present, all of the victims, both
children and adults, have memorial funds that are currently collecting
money.
“Sandy Hook Promise,” which actively solicits money for family
members and others “impacted by this tragedy,” as well as for lobbying
for “mental wellness and gun safety,” currently boasts over 300,000
people who have made
the “Sandy Hook Promise” to turn the “tragedy into a moment of transformation.”
The federal government has also forked over
a lot of taxpayer money, including a
$150,000 federal grant to Newtown to pay for two “school resource officers” (aka police), and
$2.5 million in federal funds to
compensate the local entities for their trouble: $663,444 to the
Connecticut State Police, $602,293 to the town of Newtown, $882,812 to
the town of Monroe and $296,838 to other partner agencies. This hush
money is sure to keep the lid on things for now.
Gun Control
The families have been out in force, appearing on television and in
print, lobbying for gun control in the states and the US capitol. By
now, their stories are known to everyone in America. This has created an
impression that the Sandy Hook hoax was about gun control. Meanwhile,
however, the gun industry has benefited immensely.
Efforts to increase
security in schools—and even arm teachers—are underway.
The New York Times reports
that around 1,500 state gun bills have been introduced since the time
of the shooting, and 109 have become law. However,
nearly two-thirds of these laws ease legal restrictions and support the rights of gun owners.
This may well have been an unintentional consequence of an
intentional plan. Nonetheless, it is not clear that the Sandy Hook event
was carried out solely with the aim of disarming the American public.
Perhaps we are seeing a kind of Homeland-Gladio—implementing
a strategy of tension with real and simulated events. Remarkably,
one of the earliest school safety/gun control proposals came from the family of Noah Pozner:
Both the gun industry and the already immense and rapidly growing “
security
industry” have also benefitted from the Sandy Hook “shooting,” as we,
the citizens of the United States, lose more of our Constitutional
rights. A more subtle but nonetheless insidious effect relates to the
promotion of mental health screening and the consequent medication of
the “mentally unstable” in our society, based upon an event that did not
take place, where President Obama has signed an on-going series of
executive orders to implement a political agenda. For the latest,
check this one out.
The emergence of the Department of Homeland
Security
as a major threat to democracy cannot go without comment. Even though a
subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and
Intelligence released a report on 3 October 2012 establishing
the virtual non-existence of domestic terrorist threats,
DHS has acquired more than 2 billion rounds of .40 calibre hollow-point
ammunition. Sandy Hook appears to be part of a complex and evolving
scenario, beginning with 9/11, to establish an enhanced Police State.
Whether or not it succeeds depends on public awareness and political
action.
