A communication professor known for conspiracy theories has stirred controversary at Florida Atlantic University with claims that last month's Newtown, Conn., school shootings did not happen as reported — or may not have happened at all.
Moreover, James Tracy asserts in radio interviews and on his memoryholeblog.com. that trained "crisis actors" may have been employed by the Obama administration in an effort to shape public opinion in favor of the event's true purpose: gun control.
"As documents relating to the Sandy Hook shooting continue to be assessed and interpreted by independent researchers, there is a growing awareness that the media coverage of the massacre of 26 children and adults was intended primarily for public consumption to further larger political ends," writes Tracy, a tenured associate professor of media history at FAU and a former union leader.
In another post, he says, "While it sounds like an outrageous claim, one is left to inquire whether the Sandy Hook shooting ever took place — at least in the way law enforcement authorities and the nation's news media have described."
........................
Tracy cites several sources for his skepticism, including lack of surveillance video or still images from the scene, the halting performance of the medical examiner at a news conference, timeline confusion, and how the accused shooter was able to fire so many shots in just minutes.
Tracy said he believes the deaths at Sandy Hook may have resulted from a training exercise. "Was this to a certain degree constructed?" he said. "Was this a drill?
..........................
But, he added, he has not seen bodies, or photos of bodies. "Overall, I'm saying the public needs more information to assess what took place. We don't have that. And when the media and the public don't have that, various sorts of ideas can arise."

"The father of Newtown Connecticut school shooter Adam Lanza is Peter Lanza who is a VP and Tax Director at GE Financial. The father of Aurora Colorado movie theater shooter James Holmes is Robert Holmes, the lead scientist for the credit score company FICO. Both men were to testify before the US Sentate in the ongoing LIBOR scandal."
Not one ambulance left the scene that day — not one.
You mean to tell me that not one kid cut himself on broken glass???
Supposedly one kid survived by playing dead — but where is her ambulance seen leaving the scene. It’s not. We found out about her days later.
Pictures of the scene show ALL the ambulances blocked in by other vehicles with no way to leave. So no ambulance could have left even if they wanted to.
What a way to run a railroad er school shooting [drill].
:) I see your point. Yes. I agree.

There are several videos.
You apparently do not understand ‘DMZ.’
You are not going to convince him of anything, because he already knows what you’re saying is true.
Think!
You’ve ‘broken through.’
Good, now be careful.
“fire won’t melt steel”
There is a fine line between a serious line of thought and moon-battry.
Be careful!
who is now $250,000/yr richer.
Please don’t repeat this without putting your tinfoil hat on...
Except that this is totally false.
A normal open fire really won’t melt steel.
The flame has to be fed extra oxygen to do it.
A contained fire such as a building, will eventually rise to a temperature that will weaken the steel, allowing it to collapse, if the fuel of the fire’s origin is not a liquid whose vaporization provides a cooling effect.
It must be my birther nature, but I sort of lean towards the evidence that this might be a hoax, in order to push gun control from the get-go.
Not one damn video inside of the school, with so many cameras..
Nothing false about it Drew, up to your old tricks still?
I would still like to know why Lanza was at the school the day before? Whom he had an “altercation with”?
I believe I read yesterday that Lanza shot up cars in the parking lot first?
The MSM is so utterly useless. (exception as the useful idiot)
Its all beginning to come together; keep on praying, and listening.
They’re not useless; they’re fulfilling their assigned function quite well.
Good Point.
Can you provide any evidence that there is a Senate hearing on this matter much less that these two men were scheduled to testify? And, no, linking to some other conspiracy nutcase's blog doesn't count.
Of course, I'm sure to you crackpots, an absence of factual evidence is just more proof of the conspiracy itself.
To believe that there's a conspiracy there would mean you have to believe that there's some person in the government who decided that the best, most foolproof method of preventing two American executives from testifying in front of the senate about a scandal involving British banks was to brainwash their sons into committing mass shootings, thereby...what, making it impossible to ever get them to testify? They couldn't come up with anything easier?
