FAU prof stirs controversy by disputing Newtown massacre
Sun Sentinel ^ | January 8, 2013 | Mike Clary

Posted on 01/08/2013 9:22:07 AM PST by Uncle Chip

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."

A FReeper knows him. There’s a reason lawyers are said to be bottom feeders. Yep, what “new” evidence? Either he got flak from filing such a ridiculous suit or someone whispered in his ear.

I know what a troll page is, and if it is so then the page was changed would have a change in its timeline that would reflect that. (Dec 14th @@@@ page changed to “DFGDSFG” Page)

I don’t know just what I am supposed to draw from that post, would you care to elaborate? I doubt that I will ever actually stand in that window.

Yes, the Republicans on the committee (the minority) issued a press release asking the Democratic chair of the committee (the majority) to hold LIBOR hearings. Search all you want, but you will not find that any hearings were ever scheduled, let alone that two people completely unconnected with what LIBOR is all about, who happen to be the fathers of two mass killers and who work in financial services, were set to appear at these nonexistent hearings.

Stand in that window and it’s obvious the whole story that Oswald did it and no one else was involved is a boatload of hooey. It’s a horrible angle. A much easier target would have been the motorcade coming up Houston St.

BTW, Oswald’s apartment is finally maybe gonna be, yada, yada, torn down. No, not the house he was living in at the time but a rental of no importance but it’s a slow news day. http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/2013/01/07/dallas-begins-tearing-down-oswald-apartment/ZbnjFhyfLSuW1NuoYUfG1J/story.html

That’s all I quickly found. Thought it was interesting that it was the AG committee asking, not Banking.

My post was just an informational post. Although it appears to be one source for this LIBOR-link, there was the AG committee letter. (i just did a quick 5 minute search, if i have the time, i LOOK for myself and don’t assume any post is necessarily accurate, including the theory and the debunk)

Victoria Soto’s RIP Facebook page was set up 4 days before the shooting. Look it up on youtube.

Sounds like those screen captures of news broadcasts prior to the election projecting a BO victory.

From Facebook:

hereisalinkdiff is available.
Several things for you to remember:

You can only change the username of Company name once after you set it the first time.
You can’t transfer the ownership of a username to another party.
You can’t violate anyone else’s trademark rights.
If you are acquiring a username to sell it in the future (squatting), you will lose it.
Usernames may be reclaimed for other unauthorized usages.

Are you sure you want to set hereisalinkdiff as Company name’s username?

Well, then I stand corrected. Could someone do a google cache check on the page before Dec 14?

Actually the people that you are speaking of may very well have received a summons to testify in LIBOR lawsuits. There have been many filed.

Not Senate hearings, but lawsuits.

We’ve reached the point in time where believing almost any of the stories coming out of gubmint and their propaganda arm (media) requires a concentrated effort at willful blindness and ignorance.

Sometimes these type of talking points (the LIBOR testimony connection) are injected into the mix early, allowed to grow some legs for a while, then easily “debunked” to be used as a tool to “discredit” ALL non-sanctioned versions of truth.

There you have it in a nutshell (emphasis on the "nut"). If the conspiracy theorists are right, it is proof that the Sandy Hook and Aurora shootings were part of a government conspiracy. If the conspiracy theorists are wrong, it is proof that the Sandy Hook and Aurora shootings were part of a government conspiracy. George Orwell would be proud of the doublethink being practiced here.

FYI to all, the primary reason I am posting so much on this thread is because my brother and his family live in Sandy Hook. All of his children are older (out of college) and his family was not directly affected by the shootings, thank God. However they attend the same Catholic Church as many of the families whose children were killed, and they have had to live through this tragedy as it has unfolded over the past few weeks. It saddens and infuriates me to read such nonsense peddled by people who would be similarly (and rightly so) infuriated by the “truthers” who think 9/11 was an inside job.

Yeah, because we all know that it is always the case that either everything is true, or everything is false.

Ask your brother to go to Sandy Hook Elementary and take a picture of the front entrance where the broken glass is and the bulletholes in the front windows, and post the pictures on the internet. That would help —
