Adam Lanza's Hard Drive Damaged Beyond Repair? Motive for Shooting Hidden
Christian Post ^ | 12/18/12 | Brittney Villalva

Posted on 12/18/2012 7:00:28 AM PST by KansasGirl

Adam Lanza's hard drive, which was found destroyed in his Connecticut home, may be beyond repair police say, leaving them at a loss to explain the shooter's motive.

When police first discovered the tainted hard drive, they believed that it could serve as a key piece of evidence in discovering why a 20-year-old man would terrorize an elementary school filled with children. It appears, however, that the shooter did not want his motive unveiled.

"The computer's hard drive appeared to have been badly damaged with a hammer or screw driver," law enforcement authorities told ABC News on Monday. Two other sources reported to a local Connecticut paper that the hard drive had been in pieces.

"He was eliminating [investigators'] ability to figure out what websites he had gone to or who he might have been communicating with," one investigator told Yahoo.

The little information that police do have confirms that Lanza was an avid player of violent video games.

Can you explain?

Research that 'fact' before you share it.

“hiding in the woods wearing camoflage”

When I first heard of this I remarked how eerily similar this story was to a novel I read once titled “Defending Jacob”.

This is where the “whisper down the lane” Faal game began on this Conn. shooting story.

Whenever you get new truther news, you would be wise to google “Sorcha Faal” and then add some key words about the subject at hand. It will come up if you research it.

You will also see who in the truther feed, removed the FAAL byline in order to trick you. Liars know to hide Faal’s involvement in “new information” to create buzz (profits from website hits) and sales (from survivalists). They hide the root of information because Faal has been exposed lying to create new fear and mistrust buzzes, so systematically and for so long.

Fear sells (for survivalists) and demoralization (for foreign government or American political disinformation). Through overwhelming disinformation, Russia and Iran draw support from our side to their’s because we are at war with them. The American communist party and left wing activist are excellent, too. It’s a war for hearts and minds. They want to control your reality just like self-interested US elitists do.

Press TV (Iran) and Russian TV...the formula is a tad of truth mixed with side-winding info to create darkness in you towards your society/Nation. Also, exploit and dramatize any bad news about a US citizen, ally or the US government. So, you have to dodge fear profiteers and foreign disinformation agents in the “truth community.” I’ve noticed that “truther” professionals are likely to tell you to “don’t vote for anyone” or to only focus on corporation and/or “Booosh” corruption and ignore Obama doing the same thing or worse. It’s directed at independents.

Our minds belong to us. There are plenty of documented asshats and schemes in US power for us to follow. We have to weed out Faal and the individuals/sites that parrot it...you will still have much corruption to uncover and avoid more rabbit holes. : )

Love your heart and concern for truth, LucyT! That is why I am on your ping list. The “mainstream” media often models itself after the Faal propaganda/manipulation and sales standard. Like you, I relish when “the rest of the story” is presented.

ATT/Yahoo is much more than a news source.

ATT is hardline/ISP trunk for many ISPs and certainly for email systems. I have some experience in being filtered by that email system.

Free information flow? Not really. The whole Net Neutrality thing is a bit warped.

The CT cops and the FBI have looked at it supposedly. The FBI may have some experts, but they should get someone in the field. They didn’t do so well in the Anthony case.

He is full of s**t. If someone KNOWINGLY and with malicious intent publishes erroneous stories to cause harm , they may be brought up on charges but the kicker is ‘knowingly’ . Otherwise IMHO, he is full of s**t.

His saying it doesn’t make it so.

Yep. I was wondering the same thing.

What sort of deranged, dysfunctional mass murderer says to himself: "I'd better destroy my hard drive FIRST before I go and massacre today?

Nah. I don't think so.

IN THIS CASE it is the source of the news tidbit.

They have been leftwing activists for years and I no longer play word games... if you believe and promote communism... regardless of the package and bow used... you are still a communist and those two that own snopes are hard core.

Indeed. If we were in a more perfect world, the Benghazi massacre would have serious ramifications toward the Clintons. In a more perfect world, it would be the can opener that frees the Vince Foster worms and take down the Clintons.

With stupid statements like this, I begin to smell the whiff of politically convenient happenstance.

As in the case of Jared Loughner, who turned out to be a Barking Moonbat, after NBC accused us Tea Party folks of hatching him?

Like that?

But I guess she could just be an independent evil manipulator. idk

Or one of Rahm's favorite RatRoots?

Seems to me that Rahm is one of the Communists who's been busiest trying to demoralize people -- as a graduate of Man's Country, he's got a Ph.D. and LL.D. in "demoralization".

those two that own snopes are hard core.

They met at UCLA years and years ago .... Barbara Mikkelson is Canadian lefty .... and eccentric. She tried to invent a system of using their numerous cats as a type of pneumatic-tube telegraph between their offices at opposite ends of a doublewide .... sticking Post-It notes for her hubby on the cats and trusting that they'd be delivered when the cat circulated down to his office. Didn't work, cats are conservatives.

Then George Soros discovered them.

Thanks for all your posts, I'll be looking out for "Sorcha Faal" dezinformatsiya .... You know, that word is actually what's called a "calque" -- a Russian concept that had no corresponding idea or word in English, so the Russian word had to be borrowed to get the alien idea across. Sort of like Schadenfreude.

And yes, the Mikkelsons homer for Baby Bama relentlessly, I noticed that a couple of years ago. No story about Barky goes unchallenged or undebunked, except when there is a documented photograph that cannot be argued with.

“Why would he care? He clearly didn’t plan to be around.”

It’s all about molding his future persona. That’s why he did it, to make the world notice him, and remember his name. But the computer drive might reveal his weaknesses and vices (as perceived by him in his final hours) such as kinky websites or other proclivities he didn’t want associated with his “fame.”

Mass murderer of kids? No problem. That’s his grasp at fame, celebrity, and immortality. But if he visited shameful (to him) websites, that fact must be kept a secret.

And being a “man of mystery” might also have been an aspect of the post-mortem media persona he was attempting to shape.

He really, REALLY hated his mom and dad. His dad abondoned him (Adam’s perception) and remarried, then his Mom gets a boyfriend (my speculation) who wanted Adam in a nuthouse (the conservatorship papers). Mom spent two days at a resort in NH before her murder, leaving Adam at home. Was she at the resort alone? Or with her boyfriend? Did Adam know all about the conservatorship papers in the work, aiming toward his confinement in a mental hospital?

I had originally assumed that mom left the guns lying around. But given two days to stew, even if they were in a safe, Adam, very bright insdie of his limitations, might have cracked open the gun safe with drills, saws, or crowbars.

It would be nice to know.
