The producers of CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360° have invited me to appear on tonight’s broadcast to discuss this week’s controversy surrounding my articles on the Sandy Hook tragedy. Unfortunately, I am at present unable to accommodate this request. CNN has asked for a written statement from me to present in my absence. This statement, issued to a CNN representative late this afternoon, appears in its entirety below.

Link to January 11, 2013 Anderson Cooper 360° episode.

In my analyses of news coverage on the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting I am confident I have put forth questions befitting any decent and reflective citizen, journalist or scholar. My research has led me to conclude that the nation’s media failed to provide an accurate, in-depth and sustained investigation of what took place at the school on the morning of December 14. Unfortunately, most of my observations and their nuance have been reduced to headlines and sound bites that have placed my person and intent in a severely negative light.

The press is not solely at fault, however. A significant portion of the public has chosen to base its judgment of my queries on narrow preconceptions of what they believe intellectual or academic inquiry should consist of and be directed toward. Such individuals have also been quick to judge me personally based on how I have been framed by such media instead of affording my arguments related to the tragedy a less prejudicial hearing.

I maintain that many questions I raise about the Sandy Hook tragedy remain unanswered and that the American public has been underserved by the press in this important regard. I apologize for any additional anguish and grief my remarks—and how they have been taken out of context and misrepresented—may have caused the families who’ve lost loved ones on December 14. At the same time I believe the most profound memorial we can give the children and educators who lost their lives on that day is to identify and interrogate the specific causes of their tragic and untimely demise.

    2. It’s amazing to see the failure of critical thinking on this event. I am very supportive of the types of questions and concerns that you raise.

      In time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. – George Orwell

      1. First and foremost my thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families and that my hope is that we ascertain the true cause of this horrific c event so that it never happens again. And those responsible, should there be others unknown right now, be held fully accountable.

        There is no failure of critical thinking here there is a total and likely intentional, absence of critical thinking.

        I AM GOING TO MAKE A PREDICTION THAT THERE WILL BE NO VIDEO THAT CONCLUSIVELY IDENTIFIES ADAM LANZA WITH AN AR-15.

        Lt. Vance when I went to my investigation training I was taught that the criminal needs a motive, method and opportunity. Sorry but the facts as they publicly exist do not seem to comport with the conclusions. The egregiousness by which we have ignored the published evidence, leads me to believe that there is no interest in arriving at the appropriate conclusion since a pre established disposition to this case appears to have already be set in stone regardless of the relevant facts.

        We still have no motive for Lanza despite the numerous suggestions by the media that failed.
        Can you truly suggest that the method utilized by the perp in this case is consistent with Lanza’s training, experience and personality? If we make an honest assessment of the relevant facts wouldn’t we conclude that Navy Seals might be hard pressed to achieve such results in such a short time ? Therefore is it appropriate to conclude this entire event performed with military precision was done solely by Adam Lanza?

        Now , not having access to all of the extant evidence let us examine what is published shall we ?

        1. We apparently have at least two perps running away from the scene toward Crestwood and were confronted by one or more local officers. We have heard nothing at all about who these individuals were and what they were doing.
        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsEB-EWQevw

        2. We have helicopter video clearly showing an individual being arrested in the woods with another individual escaping detection within the scope of the published video. Furthermore the Newtown Bee published that an individual in the woods was an off duty tactical squad officer from another jurisdiction and he was there, ostensibly, at the same time or earlier then the commencement of the assault. This is quite intriguing and I would imagine there would be some interest in the disposition of those two individuals. ( I saw the movie Minority Report by the way – maybe his jurisdiction had that technology and Newtown did not?)

        http://beforeitsnews.com/conspiracy-theories/2013/01/sandy-hook-mystery-man-identified-why-did-this-off-duty-swat-officer-armed-with-a-gun-run-off-into-the-woods-instead-of-helping-the-students-2447820.html

        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5kD3XREnxc

        So now we can conclude that we have at least two potential perps in the woods and two on Crestwood street. Based on published video and radio transmissions.

        3. Corroborating evidence of multiple assailants is provided by a parent who arrived at the school immediately after the attack who stated that all of the car doors were open with “black sweat shirts strewn about” . However all of the images of the vehicle that were published have all of the doors closed. I wonder if the assailants decided to lock the doors as they were fleeing the scene ? At least the car was not parked in the fire zone. That was considerate of them.

        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyrRf_dHcvk

        I see absolutely no reason why Lanza would have strewn about the black cloth items around the vehicle. These do however support reports that multiple individuals were disguised as clergy or Nuns.

        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptbd6qRY358

        4. Now let’s talk about the guns if we can. Initial radio transmission at the scene indicates “multiple weapons – at least one rifle and one shotgun”. Subsequently there was a report that Lanza had 4 handguns and no rifle and that the AR-15 was left back in the car. (Federal and State Officials reported)

        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98TV7OFazFU

        Later , much later, at night we see someone retrieving, what appears to be, a shotgun with a pistol grip. Either a Saiga 12 gauge or possibly a Benelli M2. (Now Nancy Lanza, being the prepper survivalist that she was, certainly would have a Saiga 12 Gauge tactical shotgun to augment her cache of other semi-automatic guns correct? -)

        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLrxSgkqJQc

        So at the very least, you would have us believe, Lanza assaulted the school with a shotgun, rifle, 4 hand guns, hundreds of rounds of ammo? All the while we have a tactical squad officer lurking in the nearby woods just passing the time or snipe hunting or using testing Minority Report technology ? While another individual also is set up back in the same wooded area seeming to go undetected and two other individuals decide to have a sprint race behind the school at the same time Adam started the assault .? And you would also have us believe that, despite that the Federal and State officials confirmed that the AR-15 was left in the car, Lanza utilized that weapon and also carried in the shotgun with 4 handguns and hundreds of rounds of ammo? All of that gear would weigh more than he does?

        I must say I never would have suspected Lanza? No motive, a method ?an opportunity? I would still be wasting time looking at other suspects. The motives, methods and opportunity that is evident to me is much more pernicious and I pray that my instincts are wrong.

        Anyway the video surveillance will certainly put an end to the speculation and doubts of the official story. For the sake of the families, this country and the community I hope and pray that we can arrive at a satisfactory conclusion based on truth.

    3. Totally unacceptable comments, Professor!! It pains me to even call you that. I can’t even believe you are tasked with the job of instructing anyone, on anything in this country. Your comments are completely insensitive to the families that lost their children in the event at Sandy Hook, those that have lost their children and loved ones in past events and to the millions of American’s who are behind the President and those that are striving to communicate the truth about possible solutions to a problem that exists in this country regarding firearms. As a communications professor, I give you a failing grade for trying to extinguish the reportage of an event so unheralded and and heinous that it has mobilized a nation for a conversation about what we can do as a people to make events like this less likely in the future. As a human I too give you a failing grade for being unable to check your conscience prior to making your remarks. It is unfathomable that you would use your voice to fan the flames of fear and hate that are coming from factions within this country which only wish to suppress the truth about and give voice to a fear that only helps to feed an industry bent on providing arms to anyone, anywhere so that profits may rise. Shame on you sir.

      1. don’t sit that horse to high, it’s made of clay. Your posturing can only take you so far and only as far as the gullible (a shrinking minority) of purposeful people will let you go. You are going to be torn from your high horse with certainty. You see their is something rising in the land and it starts out saying, don’t trust the government because they lie. The lies can be huge! Consider nearly 100 thousand men and women killed by government deceit in Vietnam. A million people in Iraq. This smoke screen is small potatoes to these psychopaths. As for you flashing a heart so despondent, see if you can find a tear in Sandy Hook. It appears to get more evil at every turn.

      2. Its unfathomable that you sir can’t think outside the box. We all want ‘
        ‘the truth’.. and now sir we are getting stories with no substance or
        proof. The families need to know how their children died, evidence
        or news that we are given does not add up. Lanza is an easy scapegoat
        The amount of guns and amo he was alleged to be carrying doesn’t
        add up… No disrespect to the greiving families, we all feel for them
        but this whole media and police reporting falls very short.

        1. Point taken, see if this helps for starters. http://www.salon.com/2013/01/18/your_comprehensive_answer_to_every_sandy_hook_conspiracy_theory/
          Also, is it in the realm of possibility that in all of the chaos at the scene and urgency to report something, the information was sketchy and inaccurate? A final report will eventually come out, if all things aren’t addressed and inconsistencies remain, there will be some explaining to do. In the mean time it is good to ask questions and seek answers but jumping to conclustions is all there is. Those of here in Connecticut that are around the area with friends there know at least that the event happened – real funerals and all. There is other information that isn’t making it to the conspiracy cites as well but when it’s mentioned, as I have a few times, it is categorically dismissed because it doesn’t suit some who believe it was staged or a government coverup. The link above answers some of the quesitons posed here.

      3. Interesting that your mind would confuse someones thoughtful and thought out questions and transmute them into insensitive comments. The questions that the Professor asked regarding this situation are vital. How did the professor use his voice to fan the flames of fear – you make a lot of assumptions and it seems to me that you are using your voice to insinuate things that are not the truth. I think you need to listen more clearly before you comment.

      4. I don’t believe it’s your right or place to shame the professor, he is reacting what the media is reporting and quite frankly the reports are BS. It’s not YOUR place to judge someone either and we all have the freedom to be inquisitive and explore the truth. IF there were bodies, it may have been staged bodies — there are such things as dead orphans that no one cares about to fill he ONE open casket of ONE Jack Pinto. Think I’m sick? What I think is sicker are the parents going before CNN 6-48 hours after their child MUTULATED by bullets and left to die in fear are all giggles on TV — they have placed themselves to be judged!!! GET THAT STRAIGHT.

    1. I suppose the residents of Sandy Hook and Newton should also be proud of themselves.. they’ve seen ONE dead body.. that of Jack Pinto and yet, they are still are trying to seek the truth — what does that tell you? Even the town residents think something is fishy!

      1. where did you get the info about jack pinto? I looked and only found the same fake stories as with all the other kids. even the name is fake, jack pinto? come on. noah pozner? they are toying with us. jack had the same tearless funeral that any of the other phonies got.

      2. Are you serious? You aren’t getting google hits for an open casket for Jack? Are google hits different for different parts of the country? One local person said this entire story stinks.. a resident from Sandy Hook, but she also said that she witnessed the body of Jack — yet thinks the story is a conspiracy.. that’s a contradiction…why on earth would parents who are so fake be in on killing their kids? The rest of her interview seemed legit. That’s why I think it must of been a dummy body. Also hearing reports now that Jesse Lewis had an open casket. Just those 2. Oh and of course Veronique Pozner opened the casket for the fake governor to view so he could see what guns do! http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/town_weeps_for_beloved_sons_TlD6QgM1nH46mVsWYzAZ8L

        1. I didn’t type in open casket it was something along the lines of viewing the body, I wasn’t thinking it was the funeral. Veronique posner(these names are so ridiculous) said she had an open casket funeral, in addition to her refusing to allow an autopsy. both unbelievable statements.

      3. No one viewed Noah’s body besides the “Governor” — I don’t believe the one about Jesse being open… and Jack’s was now “half open” — just a tease to make you believe it all.. so you don’t reach out and touch him… and the feathers come out.

  1. I’ve been noticing what may be construed as vicious, virulent attacks on anyone with the gumption to question the official narrative surrounding these “shock”, “Mass Casualty-Producing Events” – reminding me of 9/11/01, 07/07/05, many others. It’s very chilling, & that’s the point: chilling dissent & inquiry deviating from the “official theory”. I’ll say this: for those who’ve actually suffered losses, we who didn’t thankfully can’t know your personal pain, personal tragedy. We can sympathize, even empathize, but we can’t feel what you feel, for your grief is your own. As people who’re certainly affected by the “shock” of something like this (no less significant in our “inner cities”, trailer parks, Middle East), as concerned citizens some wish to get to the bottom of this, and not allow the powers-that-be to use your personal tragedy to usurp “all of our rights”. That’s no way to deal with tragedy.

    1. I’m a little confused here. I’m down with saying no to usurping our rights, and God knows there has been a lot of that going on (I mean, can you believe some of this anti-gay stuff still going on? What an outrage. How about illegal wire-taps, the inability to lend kindle books, the suspension of habeas corpus, loss of worker rights, union crackdowns, and tons more)…but where is it written that an assault rifle is a right?

      Furthermore, let’s say your home is invaded. You’re gonna defend yourself with an assault rifle? Come on people. Ban assault rifles. Limit magazine capacity. Hell, I say we take the constitution literally and ban any type of gun created post 1788 (like Jon Stewart said, have all the muskets you want…ha)…but I understand that may be a little extreme.

      1. Bob Barker,

        INALIENABLE
        Do you know what that means?

        Liberty is not the INVENTION of revolution.
        Liberty is the DISCOVERY of the enlightened mind.

        \\][//

      2. A semi-automatic rifle is no more dangerous than a semi-automatic handgun. The terms “assault rifle” and “assault weapons” are the same as “pro choice”, “pro abortion”, “right to choose”, “weapons of mass destruction”, “man made disaster”, “war on terror”, “axis of evil”… etc etc. They have more to do with molding a political argument than being accurate.

      3. People who analyze things and use critical thinking,instead of loving their spoonfed bs from the media are not idiots.People that can’t type a simple paragraph without misspelling simple conjunctions and articles are idiots sorry to say,not to mention putting an article and conjunction together to make one word hahahaha wow,just WOW.

      4. Well, I’m a little confused, myself. According to the CDC, in 2010, death from firearms: 11,078 – per 100,000 : 3.6. death from motor vehicles: 120,859 – per 100,000 : 39.1. Now, according to gun banning (il) logic, the best way to prevent the greatest number of deaths would be to ban motor vehicles. Or, perhaps, just really fast cars or big cars that do the most damage. As far as what one chooses to use to defend oneself? Well, that is as personal and varied as what vehicle one chooses to drive.

      1. sharonjudah – The way you ‘defend ourselves against the military/law enforcement of a government gone bad with single shot weapons” is DON’T MISS.

      2. “How are we to defend ourselves against the military/law enforcement of a government gone bad with single shot weapons? People who don’t like the constitiution should really consider moving to another country without one and without guns.”

        If you’re so worried about the government attacking you, how about YOU move to a place where the government isn’t a threat to you?

    2. I’ve been noticing what may be construed as vicious, virulent attacks on anyone with the gumption to question the official narrative surrounding these “shock”, “Mass Casualty-Producing Events” Right, or passive aggressive attacks like: “you are disrespecting the dead people.”

  2. I would like to know what reasonable duty law enforcement and the media have to tax paying citizens who will ultimately foot the bill for this tragedy? Anderson Cooper is now mentioning this story and my sympathy goes to professors and others who are suffering the direct attacks from individuals with a huge financial stake in this and other tragedies.

    1. I understand why he didn’t, because the media will only control the conversation by manipulation & rude interruptions during his interview. Surely you’ve seen this time and time again when any one who is interviewed that expresses point of view that is opposite of public opinion, they are ridiculed and treated unfairly. That is not the true form of journalism. If they truly cared about his response, they would have read this entire letter on air.

      1. This letter doesn’t address anything. He has claimed a conspiracy yet offers no proof. His posts are heavy on words, but offer zero substance. He deserves everything that comes his way.

      2. I agree. I think the guy is an idiot, who is doing a fantastic job of attracting attention…but no sane person would go on the air. And while I understand the vitriol aimed his way, that doesn’t help either. If anything, it only creates more idiocy. Like any conspiracy, it needs to be debunked. Yelling at him doesn’t accomplish anything.

      3. Apparently you’ve never seen a Ted Nugent interview. It’s just the opposite, he threatens and bullies everyone. Then tells them to “suck his machine guns”. That’s right, he doesn’t say “suck my semi-automatics”.

    2. fuck you you ass wipe. the guy is only suggesting this. the news and media is to blame for the shooting they create these copy cats with all this coverage. use your freaking head. have you seen pics of the guy from the mall shooting in court? hes looking like wtf is going on? what did i do? like somebody drugged him and sent him in that theater and he dont remember.

      1. Hey Mr. Professor guy, what do we have here? Another crank who thinks mass shootings are staged conspiracies.

        qamar: Are you on any medications? You should be. Go see a doctor.

      2. I find it “odd” those who’re engaging in manipulated/coordinated attacks on this blog site utilizing their “1st Amendment rights”, are condemning & advocating loss of employment (like that wouldn’t put the Professor’s household in jeopardy) for someone utilizing HIS “1st Amendment Rights”. In condemning Tracy, you actually condemn yourselves.

    3. A piece of s^*t? Nice language! Remember your wishes of of ill will against another will come back to bite you in the ass 10 fold over,Jason! Anderson Cooper only reported a small fragment to make Mr. Tracy look bad. You are that stupid to not know there are 2 sides to every story? Did you not see that they were forcing him with no prep to go on national tv? He’s not a fake actor from the Sandy Hook movie…. duh! The man has a life with responsibilities and needed time and when he was ready they blew him off — Anderson didn’t want him then, he wanted him unprepared and fumbling and so he could twist things around. I’d trust Mr. Tracy any day over ANDERSON COOPER FRAUD. Mr. Tracy is willing to speak with Cooper now but Cooper won’t hear of it… PROPOGANDA NEWS and BS REPORTING at its best. Why don’t you do your research before you say spiteful things? Watch Mr. Tracy’s statements in video footage interviews about how this REALLY played out with Anderson Cooper. I am HAPPY that Mr Tracy has the guts to speak up about this BS news ! He did not go looking for this attention.. he’s entitled to his opinion.. he was an easy target to make an example of so get a grip! He was merely stating what 50% of logical Americans are thinking. The tearless parents of Sandy Hook should be the ones questioned — maybe the are part of the cult in town CHURCH OF SATAN and sacrificed their own children since they seem so thrilled with their performance! They ought to be judged and spit on as parents! 6-48 hours after the brutal killings…their children’s bodies are still warm and they are benefiting from a worldwide fund account within hours and giggling shit on TV — expect to be judged! Are you this much out of touch with what REALITY is?

  3. what is wrong with you, me myself I believe in conspiracy theory’s, but this, how are you a professor, there is really something wrong here . this is just outrages to say it was staged, you have some nerve saying this your a professor this is a national tragedy, it was a horrible thing, I can’t believe you would say something like that.

    1. Sir Please , All he is saying is keep an open mind. What is the purpose of the higher educational systems if not to teach critical thinking. He is only asking America to keep an open mind! Do not take everything put to you at face value! Sometimes you need to ask uncomfortable questions.

      1. “All he is saying is keep an open mind.”

        No he isn’t. He has specifically stated that he believes there is a media/Govt conspiracy that has been perpetrated in Newtown.

        He offers zero proof and instead has tossed out a list but-what-ifs that do nothing to prove a media/Govt conspiracy.

        He is, in short, a nutter who is defaming innocent people.

      2. IamArnold,

        You claim:
        > “He is, in short, a nutter who is defaming innocent people.”

        How do you know who is and isn’t innocent?

        With the clamp down on any real information on this incident you can’t KNOW. Only a nutter would come to any conclusions on zero information.

        \\][//

    1. Feel free to read his actual comments on the incident. He calls one of the dead children’s father an “alleged father” — he thinks actors were brought in to play roles, that the massacre was staged for political purposes; he believes other mass shootings were also conspiracies carried out by the Govt.

      1. The word, if he indeed used it in this context anyway, means ‘what appears’ but not ‘what has been proven.’ The word alleged doesn’t negate that someone is the person who, for eg, committed a crime; it just qualifies it as a fact or characteristic, etc., that has not been proven, in that instance, in court. You’re distorting the meaning of Professor Tracy’s words, again, if you’re quoting him accurately. Lawyers use the word alleged all the time.

      2. The media wants to control access to the “facts” and publically show distain for those who would question their narrative. They hold themselves above providing responses to public questions and instead send in the trolls to insult, deride and condemn in order to delegitimize those that would comment on inconsistencies in the ‘facts’ of their story-line and through intimidation prevent interest in a wider investigation. Notice that their ilk do not address the problems of contradictory evidence found at the site, or want reasons for the presence of ‘tactical officers’ dressed in body armor discovered in the woods, or the absence of video evidence of Lanson as the shooter. We should suspend our collective reason and thirst for justice. We have no right to question the facts or look for truth. The pain of the families is paramount and therefore becomes the perfect political gag. And gag us they must! In order to control our collective reality.

        1. Feel free to put forth any facts you want. Here, let me show you how it is done…

          He calls one of the dead children’s father an “alleged father” — he thinks actors were brought in to play roles, that the massacre was staged for political purposes; he believes other mass shootings were also conspiracies carried out by the Govt.

        2. > gag us they must!

          Hahaha!lols!!!!1! you are such a little pussy. But even a little pussy, such as you, has every right to question whatever you want… just as I have the right to note that you are a little pussy.

          So get out from behind your keyboard, button your pants, put on some deodorant (you smell like shit) and venture forth, brave little pussy — put your money where your mouth is and prove any of these conspiracies! If the apple is rotten, take a bite and show us!

          Or don’t. For we know you won’t. For you are a scared little pussy.

          No, instead you will lean to the left, release a fart, and then go back to jerking off to internet porn. aka, Wednesday.

          Cheers to you, little pussy!

    2. No he did not openly say this.. but 50% of Americans believe it was staged. That’s a high number. Something is not right here. Anyone looking into these tearless and giggles and parents benefiting financially off their deceased children? These people are ALL wealthy already but yet they need donation funds set up within 2 hours of the deaths? SICK! Wake up call! Mr. Tracy is brave to stand alone in this plight — 50% of Americans THINK it but don’t have the balls to SAY ANYTHING.. cowarding down to the other 50% that would harass them because you are all so uncivilized and out of touch with reality!

  4. I understand the pressure on you, but you should not have to apologise at all for raising legitimate questions.

    I’m sure you did cause additional anguish and grief to the families who went along with this sham, but you shouldn’t have to apologise to those liars either

    Anyhow, well done for raising the questions to a worldwide audience.

    1. Here, here! I too had serious questions regarding the reporting of this incident. many questions were unanswered for the sake of neatness. The last time we as a Nation were focused on a single incident was 911. Keep an open mind America, this is not a weekly series as protrayed by the Media..

    2. He is questioning whether one of the fathers of a dead child is an actor.

      I’m not sure how completely disconnected from thy fellow man one must be to immediately think that an incident like this is a vast Govt./media conspiracy, but James Tracy is that man.

  5. It was typical of media tonight to focus on the most sensational theory, the “crisis actors” bs; and completely ignored the lack of forensic and other evidence provided to the public to assuage their concerns. Did these journalists learn nothing in college or are they just determined to go after the most sensational and outrageous theories?

    1. Mr. Tracy,

      I will ask you yet again the following questions, which I have been asking you for three days now without a response: Again, one could argue you have side-stepped or obfuscated on some fundemental questions in order to make your points, which I would like you to answer, as follows:

      1. Did the shooting most likely take place at Sandy Hook ES the morning of December 14, 2012, in Sandy Hook (Newtown), CT? If your answer is no, provide a factual basis for your answer.

      2. Were 20 children, ages 6-7, and six adults most likely murdered in the shooting? If your answer is no, provide a factual basis for your answer.

      3. Were the children and adults killed students/staff at Sandy Hook and innocent victims, and if so, was this shooting a violent tragedy? If your answer to any part is no, provide a factual basis for your answer.

      4. Is there credible evidence to indicate the shooting did not take place? If so, specifically identify the evidence.

      5. Is there credible evidence someone other than Lanza murdered these individuals? If so, specifically identify the evidence.

      6. Do you have training in human behavior/psychology/medicine/grief counseling, such that you can credibly comment on how a person responds, physically, emotionally and psychologically, to the violent murder of a loved one? If so, please outline same.

      7. Is there credible evidence that Mr. Parker most likely faked his press conference? If so, specifically identify the evidence.

      8. Do you assert or think it likely that most of the families of the victims are being coerced into not talking in public or is it more likely that they are so overtaken with grief they want to stay out of the public eye? Please explain your position and specifically identify any evidence in support of a coercion theory.

      9. Please catalogue, other than your own conclusions, credible factual evidence in support of any claim that this shooting did not occurr, was the product of conspiracy or was distorted in any way.

      10. What objective inviestigative work have you done in support of your assertions or conclusions regarding Sandy Hook? Please outline same.

      11. In writing your blog about Sandy Hook, did you give consideration to how its postulates might emotionally impact the families of the victims?

      12. Is there a moral responsibility to consider the impact of your posting on the families of the victims?

      13. Is there credible evidence that any of the following children/adults were not killed on December 14, 2012, at SHES? If so, please specifically identify the evidence.

      Thank you –

      1. MRG. You miss the point entirely. Have you actually read anything on this blog? All i read are questions and circumstances that need to be explained. Nothing more. It is not an indemnifying anyone or anything, just asking questions. What world has this become when we cannot ask questions, even unpleasant ones

      2. To MRG, I was reading through the comments section, and wanted to comment on the statement by Mr. Tracy above, but I have instead decided to reply to your post.

        Although I do not have the time to sit here and dissect your post point by point, I can surmise that you are a believer in the media coverage from Dec 14th 2012. You believe what was presented to you, and you are somehow expecting someone else to explain to you why you should change your mind. I don’t think that is the intent of what Mr. Tracy said. I didn’t get that impression at all from what he has said, and I have listened to a few of his interviews.

      3. @ MRG: James Tracy has done an extraordinary service to all of us, at great personal risk to himself. He has opened himself up to attack and criticism by daring to question the official narrative of the Sandy Hook tragedy, and by directing our attention to missing and contradictory elements of the explanation we’ve been given. He has shown no disrespect nor lack of empathy to the victims of this crime; in fact, the survivors will surely also want to know, if not now then at some time in the future, the whole truth of what occurred on that terrible day. Prof. Tracy has done nothing more than insist that journalists and government employees adhere to the highest ethical standards of their professions.

        And what have you contributed, MRG? Coward or paid propagandist that you are, you have not even provided a verifiable identity. You hide behind three initials, you conceal your personal vested interest in this story, you conceal who you work for and how one would get in touch with you.

        You have no right to demand any information from James Tracy. He does not have to defend his opinions or qualifications to you, nor respond to your ludicrous, feigned indignation. If you continue to make your spurious demands, we have no choice but to designate your posts as intentional harassment. Begone, troll!

        1. Hey jackass he owes it to me and the others that have more exposure to this than you or JT. Have some respect and apply common sense. When was the news every complete or accurate. Start an investigation on the weatherman – they’re wrong most of the time but no one sees that as scandalous. We accept it for what it is – imperfect.

      4. “4. Is there credible evidence to indicate the shooting did not take place? If so, specifically identify the evidence.”

        Let’s start with the vague 911 calls, including one at 09.36 “Units responding at Sandy Hook School. The front glass has been broken. We’re unsure why.”. This puts someone at the scene, at the time of the shooting yet, impossibly, completely unaware there is a mass shooting taking place.

        What about the impossibility that all the camera’s could have missed the mass evacuation of hundreds of kids, just one photographer captured a few dozen kids evacuating in three photo’s seen here: http://lightbox.time.com/2012/12/20/the-story-behind-the-iconic-photograph-from-sandy-hook/#1

        You will notice that there are no ambulances in the background of the main school carpark, yet there are dozens of shooting victims inside and the scene is secure enough to bring out what few child actors they have, so why aren’t emergency personnel rushing in?

        Newtown volunteer ambulance corp were there as first responders, they were told to wait outside, then told they weren’t needed, not one Newtown EMT entered the school. This was a mass shooting which would have required dozens of medical responders to attend to all the victims, instead they are all kept at a distance.

        No bodies are seen being removed because they decided to throw protocol and common decency out the window and do the autopsies in a school rather than take them to the morgue, that is just a sick joke.

        A very rare photo of inside the firehouse (which is where we are told the hundreds of kids are hidden) tweeted at 11.36 does not show it packed with children like we are told it is, just a handful of kids mulling around with adults. Like with the evac, where are the hundreds of kids?

        https://twitter.com/AudreyNBC/status/279626037783060482/photo/1/large

        Eveyone should google the laughing liar robbie parker to judge for themselves if he is someone in a period of mourning, or an actor caught laughing before getting into character.

        This was an extremely sloppy attempt at faking a mass casualty event, and what I have written is just the tip of the iceberg of evidence which is overwhelming for anyone who takes the time to look.

      5. to MRG – go off in the corner and pleasure yourself if you feel the need, but stop doing a mental version of it in Mr. Tracy’s blog. Perhaps you should register the domain name ‘official-suck-up-to-the-socialist-agenda.com’ and start writing your own blog. I promise not to visit your blog and suggest that you vacate these premises, fair and balanced enough?

      6. Perhaps you should address the professor’s unanswered questions–before you persecute him without evidence — it is you who is doing the poor souls, and grieving families injustice. Have you bothered to do your job as a citizen (an attorney)? To research before convicting? What qualifies you as the judge and jury? You take the media at its word?–sheep. Whatever happened to the ethical standards of journalism? Have we forgotten why we ask the who, what, when, where, why questions? To get to the truth. And we should be applauding those sticking their neck out instead of condescendingly demonizing them in order to self aggrandize our haughty moral high ground.

      7. This goes staright to the heart of his syllogistic argument. However, Tracy does not indicate his thesis based on emperical data rather his convulated thinking regarding media and social responsibility. One would look in vain to find such an existential philosphy propgated as scientific journalism when in fact he has acted as both Judge and Jury. This not only begs the question why he will not answer you but also brings into light his scholastic honesty. Professor John W. Montgomery once quoted William James as tough vs tender minded thinkers. I thinl we have your answer.

      8. Once again, Mr. Tracy has refused to answer my inquiries above. They are straightforward questions that should be addressed by somebody who so emphatically challenged whether this event even took place or was somehow staged. I am again asking him, or anyone else who agrees with his premise, to address these questions. THanks.

      9. @MRG

        Since James Tracy is not a prosecutor trying these fraudsters on behalf of the people, it isn’t up to him to provide you with any answers about anything. Take some PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY and do your own research. How about YOU put up your own blog and PROVE this happened as was fed to the public. But, that isn’t why you’re here, is it?

        Now, after you punch out from your keyboard jockey job, go see the ‘grieving’ McDonnells and maybe they’ll give you a nice copy of little Gracie’s OWL artwork, too.

        lol

        Oh, and, NOBODY has any responsibility to “give consideration to how its postulates might emotionally impact the families of the victims”, pal. Especially in a TOTAL FRAUD of an event. This is about the Constitution,
        our rights, and the war on the American people, now.

        Got it?
        Get it?
        GOOD.

        1. Absolutely,nowadays everybody thinks they are owed something,a handout,an explanation,free goodies,we are individuals on this planet who were given FREE WILL.To hell with the constitution and those rights,they pale in comparison to free will,to say what you want,to do what you want,although it might have its consequences,but the point is Tracy doesnt owe anyone anything.He achieved his goal,he managed to get us all talking about this.And voice our opinions,as youve noticed he hasnt attacked anyone in here for THEIR opinion because he knows the value of it.Whether anyone in here is 100 % right or wrong is a moot point.There are many things about this case AND aurora that make no sense at all,and we as citizens of this country, who are all subject to being put in these same scenarios all have the right to search for TRUTH.When we stop doing that it is a sure sign that our survival instincts are extinct.

      10. MRG, Michelle (@groggygirl85),

        Who say,

        > “We are waiting for your answer to these questions.”

        And we are all waiting for proof that any of these things actually happened.
        To assume that the reports from the MSM hold any water when the story the tell has flipped and flopped like an unholy mackerel on the deck of a pirate ship is naive.

        Naivete is not innocence – it is grave ignorance.

        \\][//

      11. Note to Scott F. (below)

        You seem to take issue with MRG’s questions to Prof. Tracy. Why is that?
        Why does Prof. Tracy get to ask his questions of the world without being questioned in return?

        MRG asks good, tough questions, and I think they deserve an honest answer from its owner.
        Question ALL media (yes, this website is media), not just the media you disagree with.

        1. From Stan: ‘Question ALL media (yes, this website is media), not just the media you disagree with.’ So true, so true.

      12. He doesn’t have to answer your questions. What Tracy is saying is that the media has provided coverage that includes neither a coherent recounting of events, nor an accurate analysis of technical issues, nor the usual probing of crime scenes. He is asking the question of a shoddy media. The msm should be answering him.

      13. If you actually read Dr Tracy’s words you would have seen that he has answered many of those questions that can be answered. Why don’t you add more questions to your list? like
        “Why was a sandy hook victims tribute video posted to vimeo and tweeted out over a month before the “tragedy” ever happened?”
        Why was a rip victoria soto facebook page posted days before the non-event? Who posted such a thing?
        Why did the chief medical examiner state that all the “victims” were shot with the long gun when it was in the trunk of the car?
        Why has the alleged mother of alleged student noah posner said she refused to allow an autopsy when the medical examiner said that an autopsy had already been performed?
        where are the photos of any victims bodies?
        where is the video footage from the school?
        I could go on forever but what is the point?

      14. On the newtownbee website theres an article claiming dawn hochsprung gave an interview after she and the others were killed.Someone already posted it in here I’ll find it.

    2. I agree with the observation that Cooper focused on the most sensational theory and want to make some points: 1) he is conflating what Professor Tracy has said with what others who might agree with him on some questions he raises have said, and I consider that disingenuous and distortionist. If Cooper wanted to run a piece on skeptics of Sandy Hook then fine, but don’t devote a piece to Professor Tracy’s views or comments and then fill it with other people’s. That in itself is outrageous. 2) Crisis actors aren’t bs, they exist and have been used in drills that would mimic or simulate Sandy Hook-like events. To suggest they may have been used in this one when the Federal authorities were there on the scene so quickly seems a bit myopic to me. Also, to suggest that crisis actors were used or wonder if they had been is not to necessarily conclude that the event didn’t happen – crisis actors could be used to supplement authentic victims, etc. 3) Notice how Cooper avoids what is a much more commonly obsessed over detail (pondered and made issue of by Sandy Hook skeptics): the evidence that there was more than one shooter involved. It’s as if Cooper totally avoided that issue and other obviously germaine and compelling points, like why we haven’t been shown a picture of the door Lanza allegedly broke into.

      1. Unfortunately, those who’re attacking Prof. Tracy aren’t looking to EVEN investigate: they’re looking to ATTACK; they’re called “ATTACK DOGS”.

    3. @ Stan. No one said you can’t ask questions. That’s the whole point. MRG is implying that Tracey is saying the events didn’t occur. Nowhere have i found it said by Tracey that was so. He himself is asking questions and being strung up because of it by some and exonerated by others. I would think the goal for all would be to get the gaps in the timeline filled and get the miss-information corrected. Instead, some want to have a witch hunt.

      In every mass shooting event that i can remember, there has always, repeat, ALWAYS been pictures or video documenting the event. I am NOT talking about viewing the actual event, but as in Columbine, the video of the 2 idiots walking through the cafeteria was released. During the VT shooting there were photos of that idiot holding his guns dressed up in tactical gear. At that event there were photos snapped of police and medical techs pulling wounded from the buildings. During the Aurora shooting there was cell phone video of bloodied people leaving the theater released within hours. You can’t say that with the security system they had, with the amount of “News” coverage there was, with everyone having cell phones there is no more documentation of the event. No grainy image of the shooter walking up to the front door, no image of the EMT’s going in to help with the wounded.

      1. For those of you saying “there’s no proof that this happened” and you believe it was staged, that the media is an accomplice. What exactly WOULD you consider to be valid proof? Whose word WILL you take?

      2. raul isodo@ that’s a good question. if the purpose here is “question everything we see” then where’s the line? how do we know what’s real and what isn’t from ANY side of the argument? but perhaps a more humorous response to your question- who would i trust?- maybe the folks at ESPN can help. (http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8843179/kasandra-perkins-girlfriend-slain-kansas-city-chiefs-lb-jovan-belcher-shot-nine-times-autopsy)

        on Dec. 1 2012 Jovan Belcher shot and killed his girlfriend Kasandra Perkins before turning the gun on himself. as reported by ESPN, autopsies show Belcher had a blood alcohol level of .17 – over twice the legal limit. but no one is talking about minimizing the amount of alcohol one can purchase at any single time (a la the 10 round capacity maximum Obama announced as part of his new gun control strategy) simple facts like these, along with some honest investigative reporting, is all we’re asking for when it comes to the Newtown case. i specifically want to know if Adam, who’s mother had been worried about him for years, was on any prescription drugs (just listen to the commercial- “side effects may include thoughts of suicide and nightmares” on national freakin TV they’re allowed to pedal this junk and no one asks questions? i know people on drugs like these and they do struggle with these side effects). we’ll never know this about James Holmes because, even though he was “incoherent” and didn’t really say anything other than that he was “like the joker” and smiled a few times, no one thought it would be a good idea to have him drug tested. /some smart people we have working these cases /sarcasm…. So two weeks before Newtown this football player shot his GF, so two weeks form the time i’m posting this comment i should expect to have Adam Lanza’s autopsy report published. it is only one of the worst tragedies in american history after all..

        I’m not in the camp that says this didn’t happen, but my mind is open to the possibility. I mean, at the end of the day i’ve never been to sandy hook or met any of those people. but i am certain that the public has been mislead in several aspects of this case and that isn’t fair. it seems to me that when it comes to this event there’s someone or some group out there that has something to hide and when the supposedly guilty party is dead that shouldn’t be the case.

        I’m sorry i’m not sorry about the insensitivity shown to the residents of Newtown, but every time i turn on my TV, on the other side of the country, i’m asked to care about what happened at Sandy Hook. Obama parades four kids around during his gun control speech (BARF!! you used to be my dude, Barry. Same with Piers, loved AGT) rambling on about protecting our children. they’re not talking about affecting policy only in Newtown, they using Newtown to try and change the the laws in the entire country. so if the problems in Newtown want to leak out and start pulling at the heart strings of America, and everywhere we looked we’re being asked to “pray for the newtown victims” “remember the newtown victims” “DONATE to the newtown victims”(For what?! what are these donation pages for? is Robbie Parker too poor to bury his own child? who needs money?) then America has the right to see what’s really going on. and then as soon as we start asking questions about the victims that have been shoved in our face by the media we get the modern day equivalent of being put in the stocks in the town square for public humiliation.

        So to more seriously address your question, who would i trust? – just someone that doesn’t sound like they’re completely full of crap. someone that hasn’t been proved to be a liar. someone who doesn’t stand to gain or lose anything other than the truth. when someone comes forward with facts that actually make sense then i’ll buy their story. but right now i just can’t make sense of any of it.

        1. Alex asked: so if the problems in Newtown want to leak out and start pulling at the heart strings of America, and everywhere we looked we’re being asked to “pray for the newtown victims” “remember the newtown victims” “DONATE to the newtown victims”(For what?! what are these donation pages for? is Robbie Parker too poor to bury his own child? who needs money?)

          College funds are being set up in the names of the victims, money will be set aside to assist those with PTSD or other grief related illness as well as mention of a memorial You do have to ask why, like why the Red Cross, United Wa, the NRAy and others (it isn’t the government asking for money) recognize this event. I live close and have friends there – the outpouring of help is overwhelming them as well.
          As for asking for prayers, because they could use those too.
          One person in Newtown is running 26 races over the course of the year to raise money – each race she will honor one of the victims by wearing a shirt with the name and info of the victim, because as she mentions, this tragedy has hurt her town and she wants to do something to contribute… because it really happened!

      3. Even IF Tracy said these events are staged — so what? It’s what we all think anyway.. instead we have to tiptoe around the other half of society.. the gullible half with tempers and insults.

  6. No part of the system exists for the benefit of the populace. If you are willing to see and hear the truth then go to cutting through the matrix. com, for the education you were never meant to have. Otherwise, remain in the dark. Just don’t think or say you weren’t warned.

    1. Yes, the Government hired actors as a part of some big mass conspiracy wrapped around the mass killing of children in a school and only this professor and you, Tom W, are smart enough to see through the lies!!!!11!!!!1!!1

      Or, more likely, Tow W, your educators are embarrassed for you.

      1. @baloneystoner – We can all see you know how to use the exclamation point button, yet you don’t know how to spell “Tom”. It’s with a “m”, not a “w”. Have your handlers gotten their 50 cents worth, yet?

        1. So what is the appropriate time-frame one should wait before suggesting that the parent of a recently murdered child isn’t really their parent?

      2. It’s 50% of America that sniffs out the lies — Not just Mr. Tracy. If you can read past your hate, perhaps you’ll notice most of these comments are pro Tracy. Welcome to reality. Oh and by the way… Santa Claus never existed in case you’re wondering.

  7. We at the Coalition of the Obvious support Prof. Tracy. From the Sandy Hook/Aurora connection referenced in the Batman Dark Knight Rises to the actors identified who live in Florida, to the nuns, purple van and masked men reported on police radio to the laughing father, this event stinks. The most recent revelation is that Eric Holder was in Connecticut with the Governor in November touting “Project Longevity” regarding gang gun violence. We are 100% that this was a partially or totally staged psyop [MISO] for an agenda to engineer the masses. There are dozens of unanswered questions and holes in the official story as there were in Tucson and Aurora. cotocrew at wordpress support you Prof Tracy and others who dare to challenge the official story and the secrets of WTC bldg 7.

  8. Umm, these questions are answered in Tracey’s articles. You are the ones who should be asked questions, such as, “Isn’t it immoral and irresponsible to give uncritical acceptance to an official narrative, especially when it is brought to your atttention that it contains serious, prima facie (at least) inconsistencies? Tracy is the one who should be asking the questions of you. You all are the ones who should be ashamed. In this bizzarro world, virtue is punished and vice is emboldened to strut it’s ugliness.

    1. Questioning the paternity of a dead child’s father is an act of valor and not shame — as your professor James Tracy did?!?!?

      orestes, me thinks you are the one living in bizzrro world.

        1. The next time you and/or James Tracy question or suggest that the parent of a murdered child isn’t really their parent, you too can use a question mark!

      1. Always you assume the official narrative, which is obviously false based on video, audio and photographic evidence as well as direct eye witness testimony from 12/14/12. Your assumptions make you a liar. You react as though your personal testimony were being contradicted by anyone who points to the contradictions in the official narrative when in fact you have no direct knowledge of these events.

        Yes of course the questions to Prof. Tracy are answered already in his blog posts for anyone to read. blarneystoner, the real question for you is who pays you to haunt blogs and defend the official narrative? POTUS? CIA? DIA? Who?

      2. I’ve seen all kinds of “me too” posters here, but somebody please tell me, if the government account is not to be believed, and the media is not to be believed, what source of information would you consider valid?

      3. Let me guess.. Jesse Lewis McCord. The boy has 2 last names. The father, Neil Heslin — has a different name. It’s a good question for those that aren’t brain dead. McCord is not even the MOTHER’S LAST NAME… it’s Scarlett Lewis! The boy is adopted? What gives? Sounds like Scarlett didn’t pass her audition to show face so Heslin is taking over.

  9. It’s sometimes difficult, for those of us more aware how things are done to walk the line. I refer to the line between questioning subtle variances in the account of an event and confidently pointing in the face of your counterpart in the media or government official and shouting, “Liar! Here stands a liar and criminal!”

    I really wish identifying the nature of these crimes were easier. Lately, it occurred to me that even the most diligent researcher is almost certain to hit the wall of secrecy. That wall is what protects the scoundrels from the public’s true reaction if the truth were revealed to them. So, from this understanding we can forecast similar results until the wall of secrecy is removed. That isn’t likely. So, now we…?

    I wonder what keeps Anderson Cooper working so hard? After all, he is almost certainly very wealthy to the tune of hundreds of millions? I can’t imagine myself continuing to work at such a level of incompetence and for such a discredited agency. Although, I might see myself doing just this if I had done something very embarrassing or horrible and feared my employer might reveal it if I were to give any signs of displeasure.

    While I’m at it, I wonder how many of the antagonizing comments you received were made by professionals? 50%? 75%? And, of those I’m sure that at least half were made by persons under multiple identities.

    Carry on, sir. You, and I as well have skin that more resembles Kevlar. A break in this case (the conspiracy against humanity) is on the horizon. I’m very anxious to experience for myself life on the other side.

  10. Mr. Tracy:
    Thank you for your strenght to ask the questions I have been asking since day one. As for those that say they know someone, that was there on that day and “how dare you say the things you say”, I say, If it were my grandchild that had been killed, I would want answers to your questions and mine. I would not attack you for your inquiry.
    Keep it up. I hope we find some answers.

    1. Tracy, like so many, conspiracy theorists are simply morons. They say lots of things without any factual evidence. A shame to academics, a shame to humanity… I bet he is anti-government, but is very happy taking the government salary from FAU… Simply shameful and evil to say things like when so many families are grieving. Tracy, you are not a scholar. You are an idiot.

    2. tracy,

      You pout:
      >”Tracy, like so many, conspiracy theorists are simply morons. They say lots of things without any factual evidence…”

      Lol, how utterly ludicrous. Where is YOUR factual evidence?
      You have NONE – all you have is a twisted ever changing tale told by the Public Relations Regime, that you have bought hook line and stinker.

      Now you want to hoot like a baboon at people who question why it is that there have been absolutely no proofs given. We see “testimony” that can only be deemed as bizarre by the lucid enquirer. And this seems to fly over your head as you carry all the hypnotic cues from TV around in the mixmastered gray soup that splashes around in your skull.

      Don’t tip your head now.

      \\][//

      1. What proof would you like to see? You want to see pictures of 20 dead kids? OK, then how do you know those aren’t photoshopped? Maybe you want to see the bodies for yourself? Those could be faked too… just some random kids who died in car accidents or something, made up to look like they were shot with a rifle. Can’t be that hard. Video of the attack itself would perhaps satisfy skeptics? Yeah right! Just Hollywood doing its thing.

        So I ask the people who post here who think that Sandy Hook was all BS, what would it take to convince you that this really happened? If god almighty came down from heaven and parted the ocean and told you that these 26 murders were indeed committed by Lanza at SH, would you think that it was some kind of CGI stunt?

        Don’t get me wrong, I think that it’s great that all the inmates can get together on this site and point out the inconsistencies and mistakes that the news media made in those first few frantic hours. If I were you, I’d be more concerned if there weren’t any retractions or corrections by the media (there were many). If this was a big-time government hoax or whatever, don’t you think they’d at least be able to get the name of the supposed-shooter right in those first few hours?

      1. What would I say if my child was dead and people were questioning it, or my role as their parent? I’d jump onto a MSM program and provide the proof. That I want to put it to rest once and for all. Here’s my child’s birth certificate. Here are pictures of my child with the rest of my family that are not obviously photo-shopped. I would no be gleeful and smiling and laughing either. That’s something I don’t think people can wrap their heads around at all. Most, if their child was murdered in this manner, would be in a fetal position. Robbie Parker, 6 HOURS after his child is killed in this manner, it out there yukking it up with the crew and then laboring to transition into more appropriate grieving dad type behavior. The McDonnells and their smiley conduct in the Anderson Cooper interview. Anderson looked 10 times more afflicted than the parents. That’s what people don’t get. It’s counter-intuitive to feel like talking to the schmuck at CNN, let alone be smiling SO SOON after a loss of this magnitude. It feels…contrived.

        As someone else said, the entire nation is being affected by this event. Our rights are under attack. The bodies were literally still in the school when the chanting for more gun restrictions began. Not that anything Obama suggested today would have prevented Sandy Hook. Which is also driving people crazy. More restrictions, expenses and hassles for law-abiding gun owners because of this. Damn right people are asking questions about this mess. The main reason I believe the gov’t was involved in this is because of how ineptly it was carried out. And ineptitude is our federal government’s fingerprint!

  11. Man, there is something wrong with you! You are incredibly ignorant, as is apparent with your hairpiece totally mismatched in color.
    I live near Newtown and went there during the first week. Your opposition to this horrendous event to a town that has shown the nation love speaks volumes!

  12. Also, I have read that people are calling for Mr. Tracy to be fired. I find it ironic that here is 2013, we are still burning people at the stake for saying the world is round (figuratively).

    Bill Cooper once said that if the people wanted to see what was wrong with America, all they had to do was look in the mirror. We are on a slippery slope people, and we are headed off into the jaws of tyranny.

    1. Mr. Tracy should NOT be fired for his views. That just adds fuel to the fire. Let him speak. Unfortunately, Mr. Tracy doesn’t want to be questioned in the media that he so often questions himself. It’s much safer to just sit at home and blog about it from the couch than to actually take AC up on his offer, go on CNN, and voice your questions and concerns to millions of viewers. Of course, that would expose Mr. Tracy to some uncomfortable questions that he couldn’t really answer, so that’s that.

      I think it’s important that people know where Mr. Tracy works and what he does for a living. That way, parents and students can make up their own minds as to whether or not this university is a suitable place to continue one’s education.

    2. He didn’t say the world is round. He said he didn’t think that reports that the world was round were true, and that it probably was staged to make the world look round. He said that most likely the world is really flat.

  13. You’re doing a great public service by examining this issue in more depth. Stay strong, ignore the naysayers and keep pursuing the truth wherever it may lead. This too shall pass.

    1. Well he could easily pursue the truth if he visited us in Connecticut and spoke to Newtown residents. But alas he chooses to spin a web of controversy from over a thousand miles away-oh yes, great service.

      1. Well, I hope journalists in close proximity to Connecticut and Newtown are knocking on doors and trying to make contact with those affected by the tragedy, and that includes, mostly, the authorities in charge of investigating the event.

  14. It appears to me that the professor has all the right in the world to question the events that may or may not have occurred at the school. CNN is so full of shit and refuses to report on any of the real facts…like who was the guy handcuffed in the woods and put into the front seat of the police car to be never heard about again, etc etc. Report the dam facts CNN

    1. I like how Mr. Tracy was so strong in his convictions that he hid from the CNN reporter and wouldn’t appear on camera to defend himself.

      He questioned the paternity of a dead child’s father.

      You hale him as some hero but, given the above, he is an embarrassment.

      1. Why do you repeat the same mantra over and over with no knowledge of the girl or her family of your own?

        Answer: You have to in order to stay out of trouble and get paid.

      2. Titus, what about the mantra that it was staged? Tracy strongly implied it was staged, leaving a small amount of wiggle room. Yet, many of those posting here in his defense are flat out saying, it DIDN’T happen, there were actors brought in, etc. They are the ones firmly and resolutely denying the event even took place. Why aren’t you attacking that mantra for being repeated over and over? I doubt any of these people have any knowledge of the girl or her family, either.

    2. Terry,

      Innocent people have a right not to have their name splashed across the news in conjunction with some horrible event. If this guy in the woods was there taking a leak when the shooting occurred, I don’t see why you or I need to know his name. If the police questioned him and investigated him and determined that he wasn’t involved in the shooting, then what are you or I gonna do? If you knew his name and where he lived, would you knock on his door and accuse him of being the second shooter? Demand answers from him on what he was doing in the woods that morning? Doubt it.

  15. After your remarks I have to wonder who was not only stupid enough to give you a degree ( Maybe someone should investigate that to see what type of conspiracy surrounds that) but employee you ? You should not only lose your tenure but any degrees you may have, as you are truly not qualified to to teach. This is the most disrespectful thing I have ever heard. Before you go spewing your lies you need to get your facts straight. Have you talked to anyone that was involved? My guess is that you have not because you do not have what it takes to face these victims families and tell them your lies. Jusst as you refused to go on Anderson Cooper, because you know your conspiracy would have been torn apart and you exposed one that ignores the facts. This is just your sick way of trying to gain notoriety over a tragic situation for your own benefit.

    1. P. Richards,

      You certainly are full of self-righteous judgment for someone who can only assume that the twisted and churned official story woven on MSM has any factual merit behind it at all.

      I would assert that you haven’t even read Professor Tracy’s essay on the event, but are simply crowing the party line like a good little fascist.

      Go back to your couch and watch the boob tube mr potato head.

      \\][//

      1. Hybridrogue1,

        You seem to lack no self-righteous judgement of your own. Calling people mr potato head really does wonders for your argument and you just come across smelling like roses. Why don’t you tell us what happened at Sandy Hook from your own personal first-hand account?

  16. You don’t need to apologize at all. CNN is the worst media outlet of them all. They don’t know the first thing about journalism. I with many other friends doubt the Sandy Hook shooting, you are not alone sir. Your articles are well done and raise important questions. As a father and someone who has lost loved ones to death, I still can’t for the life of me understand how these parents can go on air smiling and laughing days after their child was murdered!!! WTF!? This is not real, no fricken way a parent could do this, let alone take pictures with the President while having a gay old time. This whole thing sticks to high heaven. A real loss would put any parent in a state of grief for a long time, not wanting to give a interview to anyone for months.

    1. Mr. Tracy, here you have someone agreeing with you who doesn’t think the parents of these dead children were/are real.

      Your actions as a “professor” have given cover for Brandon to thump his chest with this “This is not real, no fricken way a parent could do this” idiocy.

      Shame on you, James Tracy.

      Brandon, please stay in your basement.

      1. Mr. Blarneystoner, we are all entitled to our own opinion. If you can prove to me with out a doubt these children were killed, please do. You and I are going off of media, which has been nothing but a farce in this event. Are you a mind numb wench who believes everything the media tells you to believe? If you do believe the media, which story are you going with? There are many. What do you choose, long weapon or the 4 hand guns or the two hand guns? Have you seen a tear from any family members who supposedly lost a family member? The daughter of the principle who was “killed” just gave a interview without crying. How is that possible unless she absolutely hated her mother.

        Dr. Tracy is raising some very good questions. I believed this thing was fake long before I heard of James Tracy. So go piss up a rope and suck on the wet end. Thank you.

        1. LOL… hey crazy person… OBama IS cumming 4 ur GUNS!!! And dey madeup NEWTOWN so they can take ur GUNS!!!1!1!1!

          Derp.

          James Tracy: This is your legacy.

      2. @baloneystoner – All you can come up with is name-calling and belittling others? I hope the people who are paying you are less intelligent than you are or you’re going to be unemployed soon….

        1. I can also note how James Tracy suggested the father of Emilie Parker wasn’t really her father.

    2. Please link to any footage that shows parents of the dead kids “on air smiling and laughing days after their child was murdered” or “having a gay old time” with the President. Please. Pretty please. With a cherry on top!

      1. All of you deniers saying it didn’t happen or you won’t believe it happened without proof. Please define the proof that would be acceptable. So far, the only proof you’ve offered that it didn’t happen is your own suppositions. You are basing your opinions on how YOU would react in the given situation. You chastise anyone who believes it did happen as sheep who can’t think for themselves, yet you aren’t original enough to realize the each individual is different in their beliefs, background, and life experiences, and all of these and more can contribute to how they deal with tragedy. Just because someone doesn’t act the way you would, that’s not proof that something is afoot. Please offer CONCRETE proof that it didn’t before you respond like MORE sheep and just repeat what others are saying.

    1. Whats also funny is the guy the “producers” sent to prof. Tracy’s door to get a quote. See the build on that guy? Is he a reporter or an itinerant mob hooligan who needed a few extra hours?

  17. I have to say again that every point that you make and question you have asked are all the ones I have been asking myself since the day this happened. Thinking that it didnt happen at all may seem extreme, but I cant say I haven’t thought that. If it really happened and they want to stop people from questoning it, all they need to do is release ALL the information!!! Seems pretty freaking simple to me. I also feel that there are so many holes in this story that it IS as though they are laughing in our faces. They are daring us to question them so they and the majority of the general public (sheeple) can call us all crazy and some of the other horrible names that have been thrown around on here. America is in VERY BIG TROUBLE for many reasons, but if we can’t question authority, question lame stream media, without being ripped apart and deemed crazy, than things are much, much worse than most of us realize. It is time to stand up and QUESTION EVERYTHING!!!! We are being lied to about SO MANY things. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!

    1. Linda, make sure you are exposing yourself to all the information and not just the witch hunters. Think for yourself. What makes this blog any more credible than the half baked news.? Why is it the way JT puts it and not just simply a product of subpar news reporting. Journalism is watered down due to the amount of so called experts out there claiming to be professional. It is harder to get to the truth – I spend much time researching and yet sometimes feel unfullfilled but it’s because integrity in reporting not so much conspiracy.
      There is no cover-up, no political agenda infiltrating Newtown, this was due to a case of mental illness – lets talk about how to fix that problem.

      1. Manny proclaims:

        “There is no cover-up, no political agenda infiltrating Newtown.”

        As if you actually know anything at all for certain. You are just a “true believer” in your own credo. MAYBE this is “a case of mental illness,”

        It has not been proven, by any stretch of the imagination that Adam Lanza shot anybody. The story is so tweaked that anything could have happened; maybe the president shot all those kids–he kills kids in the Middle East almost every day.

        Since Obama is a publicly proven psychopathic murderer and war criminal, is it out of the question that he would be involved in Sandy Hook?

        Am I accusing Obama? NO. You are however accusing Lanza on much less evidence as per MO than fits the Commandeering Chief,
        Hike up your dress and swallow that.

        \\][//

        1. Oh hybridrogue1 – the cleverness of you! You who are all knowing, slithering among the comments leaving your stamp of disapproval. Thank you for your feedback. Point taken – I live closer to it than you do with friends in that town. I can’t profess I know WHO it was, but I do know it did happen. And not necessarily like the MSM delivered it – of course, because i wasn’t there, isn’t that right – mr righteous.

      2. Manny,

        How do you know I don’t live right here in Sandy Hook myself?

        You don’t.

        Take a point with some dignity rather than instant wrath. Did the skirt reference challenge your “manhood”?

        No, I don’t pretend to know everything…it was unwarranted certainty I spoke to in the first place.

        I can deconstruct any language you care to throw at me here. I know intelligence analysis better than most pros.
        You apparently have hop skipped and jumped into a few walls here and are rethinking your position, that is good. It might be good now to sit and consider further rather than shooting from the hip as you’ve just done.

        \\][//

        1. Ok then, well you’ve rendered me powerless against the professional intelligence analysis abilities you possess. Carry on with your important work. Us illiterates will manage somehow.

        2. I am quite comfortable in my manhood – it is only you who is allowed to impune, is that correct? Perhaps you exhibit a smug and condescending way as you roll through here. But of course, I am not capable of such an observation – I don’t possess the intelligence analytical skills such as yourself.

  18. You are a rare man of courage! We are quickly losing our liberties in this country and it is difficult to take a stand, especially with much at risk as you have. Just asking questions is demonized in our supposed advanced society.
    Anderson doesn’t want to actually listen to what you have to say, he wants to tsk tsk, shame on you, & OMG how DARE you! Going on his show would be like walking into a shark tank. Seems the liberal press only supports free thought and expression if it supports their point of view. Good thing this administration has nothing to hide!

        1. You can’t speak freely? Of course you can. That is a lie.

          You can own guns? Of course you can. That is lie.

          I asked for 5 liberties you have lost and the best you can do is put forth 2 lies. Congrats!

      1. Here are 5, all natural rights:

        1. Right of free movement in country – see TSA.

        2. Right to Property (the ability to own property without paying rent to my lord government).

        3. Right to be secure in my person papers and effects – see NDAA et. al.

        4. Right to assembly — see “free speech zones.”

        5. Right to not be killed without a trial – see NDAA.

        There are others.

        A government which does not protect these natural rights is illegitimate. The violation of these and other rights by our government employees without action by the actual government of these United States, we the people, has been developing for generations with roots in the early history of the nation. However all has accelerated in recent times and become totally in your face under the current administration.

        1. Thanks for laying that out. It basically covers the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th Amendments, Geneva Conventions, Convention against Torture….anything we’ve left out.

      2. Titus,

        None of the “rights” you point to are natural rights. The “rights” you talk about are either rights granted in the US Constitution or rights that you just want or make up:

        1. You have no absolute right to free movement anywhere except in your own home. I’m not sure where you think that you get the right to go anywhere you want to at anytime you want to.

        2. Government has the right to tax its citizens, i.e. their property. Call it taxes, call it rent, call it a tithe, but its all the same. You gotta pay. Any nation that can’t effectively tax its citizens is a failed state.

        3. What, specifically in the NDAA takes this Constitutional right away from you?

        4. You can’t assemble anywhere you want at anytime you want. The First Amendment does not give you the right to stop traffic in the middle of the highway so you could have a protest. It doesn’t give workers the right to set up a picket line on an airport runway.

        5. You will (and should) be killed without a trial if you are in the process of posing a direct threat to life and limb of other people. If I go to the police station and start shooting out the windows, it would be pretty dumb of me to expect a day in court.

        1. Stan:

          We give to the govenment they don’t give to us, unless they take which is what they are doing now. You missed your civics lesson:

          We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. –That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. —Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain [George III] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

      3. @John? Huh? If airline travel is too inconvenient, take a train, a bus, hop in the car and drive. Item 1 – BUSTED
        Item 2 – tricky question. by rent are you implying taxes? Otherwise wtf are you talking about? Name 1 country where you can live, own property, not pay taxes, and receive the level of public services available here – BUSTED
        Personally, I feel pretty darn safe and secure – but then, I’m not in the habit of supporting al Qaeda or Taliban. Unless you are, BUSTED
        Free speech and assembly? I’ve seen nothing contrary to this. Provide proof of your claim. BUSTED
        Right to not be killed without a trial – are you serious? Again – easiest thing to do if you’re worried about that is AVOID BEHAVIOR THAT WOULD PUT YOU IN A TRIAL SITUATION. duh… Items 3, 4 and 5 – BUSTED, BUSTED AND BUSTED

  19. Thank you! I really can’t understand how people can be so angry with a professor of media studies blogging about questioning what the media reports as reality. All citizens of all countries should question everything and learn from what the answers are. This ENTIRE CONSPIRACY can be eliminated very quickly with the release of the security camera footage at the front of the school. Let’s see Adam Lanza shoot through the door, we don’t need to see dead bodies, just show us 1 person entering with all that ammo and all those weapons

    1. “The entire conspiracy?” So it’s a conspiracy for sure because you demand information. If you had the security tape you would only debunk it as having been altered. It’s not that there is a conspiracy – its that you accept that as the truth that it exists in your mind.

    2. Please educated yourself of the state-of-the-art of digital 3D modeling, rendering and video technology. If/when you do – you will quickly realize that seeing a digital video of anything…is “proof” of nothing.

    3. For those that won’t accept anything but what they want to, how will this prove anything? 10 to 1 it will be disputed as altered, or “staged”. I’ve yet to see anyone offer a description of what the WOULD consider valid proof of what really happened. Just that they won’t take the government or the media’s word for it. Someone please state clearly, WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE EVIDENCE THAT IT DID HAPPEN?

      1. raul, they will not accept any theory except the conspiracy one and conveniently ignore valid questions to the contrary or call you a name and accuse you of being a plant.

      2. You’re right. At this point, it’s too late. We should have been seeing pictures/footage of hundreds of kids (not just one 15 kid conga line), hundreds more parents descending on scene to get kids. All we see are a bunch of cops, a few parents making the rounds to talk to media, etc. At Columbine, you saw endless footage of hundreds of kids leaving that school, frantic parents running around, LIVE, as it was happening. The media was at Sandy Hook, but no such images were captured. Which means, IMO, it doesn’t exist because there were not that many people there. I don’t know what went on there, I’m not saying deaths didn’t occur. I’m saying this did not go down as the officials are saying. And they should have found a more believable patsy. No one is buying that a 120 lb., painfully shy boy carried all that weaponry and ammo into a building and turned into a highly efficient killing machine. The number of bullets they are citing, the kill vs injure rates, etc…all defy statistical probability. No one has seen Adam Lanza in about 3 years. NO ONE. But there sure were a lot of camo-clad burly types running around in the woods that Vance won’t discuss. WHY won’t he discuss this?

  20. orestes your right on
    virtue is punished and vice is emboldened to strut it’s ugliness.
    manny your at a picnic and the clouds are coming in fast. Most of the folks have moved to the bandstand saying that this to will pass. They are not wrong yet, so they are monitoring the situation.

    As for CNN include in your response a day when you will convene a panel of those distinguished in the subject. Gather witnesses who can produce questions that aren’t answered so far. Counterattack.
    Get on the phone.
    A fellow, a very observant mind said that in his view our ability to use the media is weak.
    He also said that is the soft underbelly of the evil we perceive.
    The host Eric Sayward (2nd hour) said we need to get our minds right.

  21. Gosh, some real dynamite thinking taking place here.

    I would like to preface this post by saying that in no way, shape, or form do I consider myself to be a ‘conspiracy theorist’. Everybody knows that human beings never ever ever behave conspiratorially in any way, and that any collusion between men of means in no way represents an exercise of power or influence.

    So, let’s start looking into this latest mass shooting with a closed mind, eager to cling to the certain truth that our news is unbiased information that is in no way comparable to the black propaganda used to manipulate public opinion in most countries throughout the whole of recorded history.

    In fact, here’s a former head of the CIA going before a house committee to state on record that his agency has been quite active in manipulating American media instruments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=5ED63A_hcd0

    Here’s a story from 2002 about how The Pentagon plans to release fake media stories to help promote their agenda! http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2002/feb/19/marketingandpr.september112001

    Man, it’s a good thing that never actually happened! Imagine how confused we’d all be!

    Here’s a link to the Wikipedia entry on Operation Mockingbird: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird

    “Operation Mockingbird was a secret Central Intelligence Agency campaign to influence media beginning in the 1950s”

    Shee, it’s a good thing that all such activity clearly stopped, that the CIA had an attack of conscience and pulled back from such questionable activities!

    So, let’s hope we’ve established with certainty that funny business can never ever actually happen in the really real world of which we are all certainly a real part.

    It should make it easier to stomach the following information!

    DAWN HOCHSPRUNG

    Here’s some articles about heroic school Principal Dawn Hochsprung, who “died trying to subdue the crazed shooter.”

    So, the heroic dead Principal was giving out interviews to the local newspaper, was she?

    Alright, let’s move on…

    ACTORS ON THE SET

    Here’s the father of poor dead little girl Emilie Parker smiling and laughing. As soon as the camera focuses in on him, he yanks hard on the stick and starts working up the tears.

    So, here’s a photo of a family that’s been available online since at least May of 2012.

    Fine, here’s a Youtube video uploaded in May of 2012. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiFtPLd93f8

    Skip ahead to 16:18 to see the photo in question.

    The upstanding gentleman uploading these photos and videos is a class-one nutjob anarchist who thinks that this is a family of actors, “The Greenberg family”, that’s being used in fake news reports to stage false flag events.

    Coincidentally, the family he singled out in this instance actually happens to live in Newtown, Connecticut! Wow, he really fucked that one up! Here’s “The Greenberg family” being interviewed live on CNN, crying convincingly about the tragic death of poor old heroic Dawn Hochsprung.

    THE MEDICAL EXAMINER IS JIZZING HIMSELF

    Here’s a totally convincing series of outtakes from an interview with the ‘Medical Examiner’ Wayne Carver…

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JV3KYBS64R8&feature=player_embedded

    Yeah, he seems pretty on the ball. I’m glad the government will be making policy recommendations based on his assertions and opinions.

    THE EVER-CHANGING STORY

    Alright, let’s ask The Hartford Courant about their journalism standards:

    12/15
    “Lanza next arrived at teacher Victoria Soto’s classroom. Soto is believed to have hidden her 6- and 7-year old students in a classroom closet. When Lanza demanded to know where the children were, Soto tried to divert him to the other end of the school by saying that her students were in the auditorium.

    But six of Soto’s students tried to flee. Lanza shot them, Soto and another teacher who was in the room. Later, in their search for survivors, police found the remaining seven of Soto’s students still hiding in the closet. They told the police what had happened.”

    http://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/newtown-sandy-hook-school-shooting/hc-timeline-newtown-shooting-1216-20121215,0,5058106.story

    12/22

    “The arriving officers encountered a shocking scene in Soto’s classroom. Lanza had shot her, as well as special education teacher Anne Marie Murphy and six of Soto’s 6- and 7-year old students. Seven of Soto’s students were found huddled and unharmed in a classroom closet, apparently hidden by Soto when she heard shooting. The other students fled the classroom.”

    http://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/newtown-sandy-hook-school-shooting/hc-lanza-gunjam-20121222,0,3580899.story

    12/25

    “Does this help explain what Soto would do nearly five years later when gunman Adam Lanza entered her classroom at Sandy Hook Elementary School after slaughtering every child and teacher Lauren Rosseau in the next room? She ushered special education teacher Anne Marie Murphy and several children under her desk. She moved other children behind a bookcase or barrier. When Lanza came in, Soto was the only one he saw. She faced him. He killed her, and then he killed the children and Murphy under the desk. Murphy died shielding a child in her arms. Other children escaped the classroom. Soto’s actions saved children’s lives.”

    http://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/newtown-sandy-hook-school-shooting/hc-victoria-soto-1226-20121225,0,1760313.story?page=1&xyzallow=

    So does Victoria Soto exist or what? Let’s ask her grieving family:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwZkT_j1yds

    Seems legit.

    Alright, so what else have we got?

    THE LONE GUNMAN

    So, Adam Lanza, a 20 year old, awkward young man with autism, killed 28 people in under two minutes with an assault rifle, including the time it took to pause and reload?

    Let’s see what that kind of gunmanship looks like in the real world:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjUrc72PFZg

    Here’s a kid saying he saw a suspect in handcuffs on the ground when leaving the school:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUaXrpzlsJI

    Here’s a news report about the arrest of a second shooter:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzLDRdB0PS8

    Here’s an eyewitness alleging a man in camo pants with a dark jacket was walked out of the woods and arrested:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovspEgeMXb4

    Here’s the police band chatter from the day of the shooting:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETkrxfYoQtc

    At 1:35:07 we hear “One suspect may be wearing a nun outfit, headed toward Danbury and Stoney Hill, purple van.”

    Here’s a picture of nuns leaving the scene of the shooting, wearing size 14 shoes, with a long object under the overcoat:

    THE MURDER WEAPON:

    Here’s the medical examiner swearing that the weapon used in all the murders was a .223 Bushmaster rifle.

    Here’s CNN reporting that the rifle was found in the trunk of the car:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXPHxEpwPfo

    Here’s an article from a paper that contradicts the medical examiner’s story:

    http://hillnholler.net/2012/12/14/in-newton-conn-elementary-school-massacre-27-students-and-staff-lost-worst-in-american-history/

    “The gunman was wearing dark clothing, a mask, a bulletproof vest, and was carrying four guns. Investigators said the gunman fired his weapon at least 100 times. Three guns were found — a Glock and a Sig Sauer, both pistols, inside the school, and a .223-caliber rifle in the back of a car.”

    There are many more examples of this. Still having trouble with this?

    Fine. Here’s actual video footage of the rifle being taken out of the trunk of the car:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLrxSgkqJQc

    So after shooting up a school and killing 28 people, Lanza went back to the car, put the rifle in the trunk, and then went back into the school and shot himself?

    Here’s the Connecticut police threatening to prosecute people who post misinformation about the shooting on social media sites:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eDUcJ6pum4

    One wonders what would constitute “misinformation” in such a situation, and whether he intends to prosecute CNN for their fuckups.

    Hey, let’s ask Paul Craig Roberts, a former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury and former associate editor of the Wall Street Journal what he thinks.

    “Agenda-driven news is the reason that apparent inconsistencies in the Sandy Hook story were not investigated or explained. According to some reports, the medical examiner said the children were shot with a rifle, but other reports say the accused was found dead inside the school with two pistols and that a rifle was found outside in the car. The police capture a man in the woods who says “I didn’t do it.” How would a person in the woods know what has just happened? Who was the man? Was he investigated and released? Will we ever know?

    Some reports say the school was locked and admission is via security camera and being buzzed in. Why would a heavily armed person be buzzed in? Other reports say he shot his way in. Why wouldn’t such a commotion have alerted the school?

    Another puzzle is the video of a father whose child has supposedly been shot to pieces. Prior to the interview he is caught on camera laughing and joking, and then, like an actor, he pulls his face and voice into a presentation of grief for the interview. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urrRcgB581w and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMINqFGNr-w

    The spokesman for the Connecticut State Police is anxious to control the story, warns social media against posting information contrary to official information, but provides little information, refusing to answer most questions. The usual “ongoing investigation” is invoked, but Lanza has already been declared to be the killer and the number of dead reported. About the only hard information that emerges is that the police are investigating where every component of the weapons was manufactured. The relevance to the shooting of where the components of the weapons were manufactured is not explained.
    The medical examiner’s press conference is weird. He is incoherent, unsure of what he is supposed to say, hasn’t answers to questions he should have, and defers to police.
    Perhaps the best way to avoid fueling suspicion is for public officials not to hold press conferences until they are prepared to answer the relevant questions.

    And where are the bodies? Like the alleged murder of Osama bin Laden by a SEAL, the crucial evidence is not provided. Paul Vance, the Connecticut State Police spokesman, said that the “victims’ bodies were removed from the school overnight” and that detectives “were able to positively identify all of the victims and make some formal notification to all of the families of the victims.”

    Allegedly, no parent wanted to see the body of their dead child, but how do you know it is your child if you do not see the body? It is a strange kind of closure when it is provided to parents by impersonal detectives. Has anyone seen a body other than a state medical examiner and a few detectives? Where are the media’s films of body bags being carried out of the school? Why would Obama’s gun control agenda forego the propaganda of a procession of body bags being carried out of a school?

    Perhaps the sensitivity issue prevailed, but with all the suspicion that already exists about the government and its claims, why fuel the suspicion by withholding visual evidence of the tragedy?

    There are reports that when emergency medical help arrived at the school, the medical personnel were denied access to the children on the grounds that there were no survivors and the scene was too gruesome. Yet, there is a conflicting story that one six-year-old girl had the presence of mind to play dead and walked out of her classroom unscathed. If the story is true, how do we know that other survivors did not bleed to death from wounds because the emergency medical personnel were denied access? Did police exercise more control over the scene than was warranted?

    It doesn’t seem to matter that questions are not answered and discrepancies are not resolved. The story is useful to the gun control agenda. Progressives, in order to achieve their agenda, are willing adjuncts of the police state. The facts of the shooting are less important than the use of the incident to achieve their agenda.
    Probably there are answers to the questions. Moreover, the news reports that are the basis for questions could be incorrect. But why aren’t the answers provided and confusions cleared up? Instead, people who ask obvious questions are dismissed as “insensitive to the tragedy” or as “conspiracy kooks.” This in itself deepens suspicion.

    The Colorado movie theater shooting has its own unresolved discrepancies. One eyewitness claimed that there were two shooters. Apparently, the suspect was captured sitting in a car in the theater parking lot, which seems strange. There are claims that the accused, a graduate student in neuroscience, was involved with the Defense Advance Research Projects Agency in mind control research and that he doesn’t remember doing the shooting.

    Do we actually know? Apparently not. Wouldn’t it be preferable to investigate these claims rather than to leave them as unanswered sources of suspicion? The loose ends of the Colorado movie shooting contribute to the suspicions caused by news reports of the Sandy Hook shootings.”

    1. “I would like to preface this post by saying that in no way, shape, or form do I consider myself to be a ‘conspiracy theorist’.”

      This is your preface to a multi-thousand word comment on some blog that outlines your conspiracy theory.

      Just a small tip: You are absolutely a conspiracy theorist.

      Your empty life isn’t being filled by being this crazy. Find a real hobby. Kite flying is fun.

      1. Blarney, clearly I was being sarcastic. Come on, now. Is your sense of irony busted, or are you stopping by ‘The Onion’ later to point out to them that their news stories are fake.

        Just to clarify my position, it is an ontological, mathematical impossibility that human beings could ever act in collusion with one another. PERIOD.

        All this Sandy Hook stuff, the 3 shooters, the murder weapon getting lost, the documented proof of actors being involved, it’s all just a misunderstanding.

        I hope for your sake that you’re simply an idiot and not actually a paid shill, cuz in the latter case, you have to go through life knowing that your soul is dogshit. That must be an unpleasant prospect.

      1. I am a plant working on behalf of the Illuminati, the US Govt, Big Media and Big Bird to find people online who have figured out that Newtown is a false flag operation … we find you people and ridicule you and your comments so no one else finds out the truth.

    2. I don’t have the time to respond to your entire post, but here’s a few things that stand out in my mind. Right off the top, you quote the CIA as saying they had manipulated media and the Pentagon saying they had PLANS to release fake stories. OMG – and you BELIEVED them? Isn’t everything they say a lie?

      Very convenient that there’s a screencap of a story saying the principal talked to the newspaper, and the original is no longer available. How do we know your “original” isn’t a fake? I’ve seen no proof that it isn’t.

      I’m sick of hearing people say the father didn’t “act right” – because he was laughing with the people he was standing with before coming to the mic. At my sister’s funeral, I told some funny stories about growing up, and had the people in attendance laughing. As I talked though, I would quite suddenly and unexpectedly choke up. After pausing to catch my breath, I would continue. I see nothing wrong with this man’s behavior. Just because it doesn’t fit YOUR mold, doesn’t make it wrong.

      I don’t see anything drastically inconsistent about the three articles you show about Ms Soto. The first two are very similar, the third is slightly different, but it was WRITTEN BY A DIFFERENT AUTHOR. Of course it’s going to sound different. Ask three people at the scene of a car accident what happened, and tell me how consistent the information you receive is. Also, as time goes by, more information comes out, so it’s logical for them to update the story to reflect the details AS THEY ARE KNOWN AT THAT TIME. These articles cover a span of 10 days.

      The medical examiner. I’d like to see you do his job and come out coherent. First, he’d been at the scene until after 1 am – probably didn’t sleep much if at all after that. Before the press conference he had personally autopsied 7 brutally slain children. He stated that in 30 some years in that line of work it was the WORST HE HAD SEEN. Not sure what the time frame was from when he did the last autopsy and when he arrived at the news conference, but maybe he just didn’t have time to meet with his staff, get all the details of their reports, and come up with a polished presentation. He stated that it was only the 2nd news conference he’d had to do in 27 years. Obviously public speaking is not his strong point. He was stressed and overtired. I don’t know why you’d expect him to be at the top of his game. Also, he was clearly irritated at some of the stupid questions being asked. What clothes were the kids wearing???? Like he said “cute kid clothes”. You really think the media that comes up with questions like that, is in collusion with the goverment? He also stated at the beginning, and several times after, that he had not yet autopsied the shooter or his mother – yet he kept getting questions on that, and had to repeat himself. Again – annoying to say the least, much more so when you’re overtired and not comfortable speaking publicly to begin with.

      The nuns: I went to Catholic grade school, and trust me – those were REAL nuns in your picture. ‘Nuff said.

      Finally – I’ve asked this question and not gotten a good answer on it. For all the ineptitude of the government, and the stupidity of the media, do you REALLY believe that these two got together and staged something like this, just to push gun control legislation??? Why wouldn’t they just stage a heated debate in Congress, say it passed by a narrow margin, and call it official? Seems a lot easier to me… But I guess that lacks the drama and provocativeness of a conspiracy like this. Talk about believing only what you choose to believe.

    3. How do we know Hochsprung SPRUNG anywhere — no one saw her get shot. Story reads that she plunged in front of the gunman.Oh? Who says? Anyone that saw the dude died. Just like Rosen’s little 6 children. Interviews from Bryce Maksel and Licatta kid say they both were at Firehouse and Police station – no mention of creep Gene. Also,the numbers that escaped Soto’s class don’t match up. Licatta’s parents look fake as hell. A group of 5 (Bryce’s group) escaped Soto’s class when gunman turned around towards teacher — they ran outside where a parent was driving past and they jumped into her car and went to the police. Licatta states he saw dead bodies (well the parents who are fake said that) and that Licatta escaped by running out when gunman left the room and ran outside towards firehouse.. that was a group of 6. So that’s 11 escaped and 6 dead from Soto’s class. What about the 7 found hidden in closet??? Thought this was a class of 15? I have links for all of this BS if it does not populate in your google search.

  22. I have a whole new opinion now of Anderson Cooper. Hard to believe that he quickly turned into another Piers Morgan style cheap hitman puking overboard into the face of the passengers.
    I much appreciate your work, but more importantly I am impressed with FSU for having such a quality and critical thinking professor on staff. I shall have to write the Chancelor next and give her the credit due to her university.

      1. Hey James, before you wrote this:

        “With the exception of an unusual and apparently contrived appearance by Emilie Parker’s alleged father, victims’ family members have been almost wholly absent from public scrutiny.”

        Did you attempt to contact Emilie Parker’s father to verify if the man being interviewed on television was or wasn’t the father of Emiilie Parker?

  23. Wow, people, chill out. Prof. Tracy is saying we have not gotten THE FULL ACCURATE IN-DEPTH STORY on what happened that day. He is not going off saying that this didn’t happen. I personally believe that this horrible tragedy happened and I am deeply saddened by it. I DISagree with anyone who thinks this tragedy was a conspiracy. But you are attacking this Professor because he is asking questions about what happened exactly? That’s just not right. He’s not one of the ppl on You Tube making up stories and showing stupid pictures. He is meerly asking what actually happened. There are lots of questions about Sandy Hook that have not been answered. It’s not fair of the MSM to keep things locked up when we want to know what happened. We CARE, that’s why we are asking. I’m tired of people telling the Prof to F— off because he said “Sandy Hook never happened,” he did not say that! I do, however, think that Prof. Tracy should go on TV and tell Anderson Cooper exactly what he is thinking. The public is hating on you, Prof. Tracy because they think you are the “bad guy” for asking questions. You need to set them straight.

    1. Actually, Prof. Tracy is pointing out the possibility of “conspiracy” regarding Newtown. All it takes for a Criminal Conspiracy is for more than 1 person to collude, plan, execute an illegal act. The fact that 2 other individuals were, according to the Police radio, detained & arrested at the crime scene….& subsequently disappeared from view – if ironclad, does away with the “lone gunman” theory. This’d be the legal definition of “Conspiracy”.

    2. He has suggested that Newtown was a purposeful conspiracy by media and the Government; he has provided zero proof to back this claim.

      He has alleged that one of the fathers of one of the children murdered in Newtown wasn’t her father.

      He hid in his home instead of being a stand-up person and facing his critics.

      He is also selectively choosing which comments are being shown in this comment section.

      That is your hero.

      1. “Critics” don’t show up to people’s homes, uninvited. These were “attack dogs” & this was a “witch hunt”, pure & simple. There was no reason needed to submit himself to a “firing squad”.

      2. “He is also selectively choosing which comments are being shown in this comment section.”~BlatheringStoner

        He has every right as a moderator to choose which posts to publish on his own blog. That Mr Tracy might drop some of your lunatic ranting is understandable – and a mercy to the rest of us who have to wade through your bullshit here.

        \\][//

        1. > lunatic ranting…

          Moi? lunatic?

          No no, kind sir, you have forgotten what Truth looks like. Try to do better next time.

  24. We should remind Anderson Cooper about all those crazy conspiracy nuts who were shouting how there were no WMDs in Iraq…
    Its pretty sad that Cooper was trying to anger people by bringing up how our “tax dollars” pay for the “conspiracy nut”. Like if you get money off tax dollars that somehow you are not allowed to have the freedom of speech.

  25. The thing we all have to take notice of is that after these huge calamities,911,Aurora,Newtown,there is always an attack on our constitutional rights.And everyone should ask questions just as Prof Tracy did,not to say we have to agree with everything he is saying,but at least use our own logic,criticize if need be,seek truth always.

  26. One of the tough issues here is these events are happening at a rate where it’s tough to focus on one event long enough to discern the facts,theyre beginning to blend together,and anyone who doesnt see the need to question the strange connections between LIBOR,Aurora and Sandy hook needs the left hemisphere of their brain examined.

  27. One night, probably in 1880, John Swinton, then the preeminent New York
    journalist, was the guest of honour at a banquet given him by the leaders
    of his craft. Someone who knew neither the press nor Swinton offered a toast to the independent press. Swinton outraged his colleagues by replying:
    ” There is no such thing, at this date of the world’s history, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job.

    If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalist is to destroy the truth; to lie outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell the country for his daily bread. You know it and I know it and what folly is this toasting an independent press. We are the tools and vassals of the rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes. ”

    (Thanks for not being an intellectual prostitute, Professor Tracy. It’s disgraceful and ignoble to not ask probing questions of the behavioral programmers we call mainstream media.)

    “The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.” H. L. Mencken

    “Democracy is not about trust; it is about distrust. It is about accountability, exposure, open debate, critical challenge, and popular input and feedback from the citizenry. It is about responsible government. We have to get our fellow Americans to trust their leaders less and themselves more, trust their own questions and suspicions, and their own desire to know what is going on.” Michael Parenti

    “Television is altering the meaning of “being informed” by creating a species of information that might properly be called disinformation… Disinformation does not mean false information. It means misleading information – misplaced, irrelevant, fragmented or superficial information – information that creates the illusion of knowing something, but which in fact leads one away from knowing.” Neil Postman

    The enormous gap between what US leaders do in the world and what Americans think their leaders are doing is one of the great propaganda accomplishments of the dominant political mythology.” Michael Parenti

    “Media manipulation in the U.S. today is more efficient than it was in Nazi Germany, because here we have the pretense that we are getting all the information we want. That misconception prevents people from even looking for the truth.” Mark Crispin Miller

    “Americans are too broadly underinformed to digest nuggets of information that seem to contradict what they know of the world … Instead, news channels prefer to feed Americans a constant stream of simplified information, all of which fits what they already know. That way they don’t have to devote more air time or newsprint space to explanations or further investigations… Politicians and the media have conspired to infantilize, to dumb down, the American public. At heart, politicians don’t believe that Americans can handle complex truths, and the news media, especially television news, basically agrees.”
    Tom Fenton, former CBS foreign correspondent

    “One of the intentions of corporate-controlled media is to instill in people a sense of disempowerment, of immobilization and paralysis. Its outcome is to turn you into good consumers. It is to keep people isolated, to feel that there is no possibility for social change.” David Barsamian, journalist and publisher

    ” I know of no country in which there is so little independence of mind and real freedom of discussion as in America. ”
    Alexis de Tocqueville, 1805 – 1859, French political thinker and author of Democracy in America

    “If you want to know about the world and understand and educate yourself, you have to dig; dig up books and articles, read and find out for yourself.” John Stockwell, former CIA official and author

    ” To accept opinions is to gain the good solid feeling of being correct without having to think. ” C. Wright Mills – from the book The Power Elite

    “In a dictatorship, censorship in used; in a democracy, manipulation.”
    Ryszard Kapuscinski, journalist

    “The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western world. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity – much less dissent. ”
    Gore Vidal, novelist and critic

    “I wouldn’t call it fascism exactly, but [an American] political system nominally controlled by an irresponsible, dumbed down electorate who are manipulated by dishonest, cynical, controlled mass media that dispense the propaganda of a corrupt political establishment can hardly be described as democracy either.” Edward Zehr

    But of course, the unaware are unaware that they are unaware…

      1. Thanks. Not only do I not mind, I hope you and your contacts send it out to millions of Americans who have utterly forgotten that the Great USAmerican Dream was always precisely the Great Dream of FREEDOM FROM TYRANNY.

        You know…Freedom from the tyranny of the moneypowers, freedom from the tyranny of a bought and paid foe mainstream press (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the CIA since the 1950’s), freedom from the tyranny of a bought and paid foe congress, freedom from the tyranny of making it a crime to ask questions, freedom from the tyranny of the leisure class wealthpower giants eating our children, freedom from the tyranny of censorship – need I go on listing the completely tyrannical nature of USAmerica today?

        That great experiment in Democracy known as the First American Republic is DEAD. Don’t let the twitching corpse fool you, eh?

        Anderson Cooper and this cardboard cutout calling himself blarney rubble here, are all-one with tyranny. Thanks for being on the side of the values people have forgotten to even pay lip service to anymore, GS. And same thanks again to Professor Tracy.

        bonus quote to share:

        “What would have happened if millions of American and British people, struggling with coupons and lines at the gas stations, had learned that in 1942 Standard Oil of New Jersey [part of the Rockefeller empire] managers shipped the enemy’s fuel through neutral Switzerland and that the enemy was shipping Allied fuel? Suppose the public had discovered that the Chase Bank in Nazi-occupied Paris after Pearl Harbor was doing millions of dollars’ worth of business with the enemy with the full knowledge of the head office in Manhattan [the Rockefeller family among others]? Or that Ford trucks were being built for the German occupation troops in France with authorization from Dearbom, Michigan? Or that Colonel Sosthenes Behn, the head of the international American telephone conglomerate ITT, flew from New York to Madrid to Berne during the war to help improve Hitler’s communications systems and improve the robot bombs that devastated London? Or that ITT built the FockeWulfs that dropped bombs on British and American troops? Or that crucial ball bearings were shipped to Nazi-associated customers in Latin America with the collusion of the vice-chairman of the U.S. War Production Board in partnership with Goering’s cousin in Philadelphia when American forces were desperately short of them? Or that such arrangements were known about in Washington and either sanctioned or deliberately ignored?”
        Charles Higham, researcher, about U.S. – Nazi collaboration during WWII

      1. Look into the people I quoted, raul – these are not corporate-owned-media talkinghead “talent” carrying water for insidious regressive agendas – these are former insiders, whistleblowers, real investigative journalists, historians, and thinkers. They are a world away from the CNN mouthpieces who have totally abdicated their duty as journalists to inform the public sans bias.

  28. Dear Professor Tracy, my hat’s off to you! As a professor myself, I can only imagine the blowback you must be getting from the administration of your university… and it ain’t a pretty thought.

    As many of the comments posted here clearly indicate, our country is filled with people who simply never learned HOW TO THINK. They don’t read carefully, they don’t analyze information logically… and they end up totally missing the point, and even criticizing YOU for things you demonstrably never said/wrote. As a fellow-educator, who has to try to deal patiently with this sort of intellectual immaturity from students all the time, know that I feel your pain! And please know that there still are plenty of us out here with capacity for rational thought, who thank you for what you’ve done and are doing.

    1. Aside from coming of as elite and condescending, you imply that anyone who disagrees with you is unable to think. If I am the one to make a statement first, and you disagree with me, does that mean YOU are unable to think?

  29. Why is this Man’s Critical thinking apparatus a lynch able crime? His thoughts and opinions are his own. All I’ve heard him say is that he questions the official story. Do you people really think you aren’t being duped every day by the media and the powers that be? I’m not saying that the murders didn’t take place the way the media says they did. But HOLY hell there are a lot of loose ends here that are being willfully ignored by the Main Stream Media. If private citizens Don’t question EVERY thing we are sure to be duped over and over again. I have a few questions myself.

    1.) I Watched the news unfold that day. I saw a guy being perp walked from the woods by two guys in either ATF or FBI jackets. The suspect was placed in the back seat of a car. In fact the news show replayed the footage several times. Who was the guy and why was he on the school grounds or lurking in the woods? What was his name why hasn’t he been interview by the media?

    2.) There is footage of a riffle being taken out of the back seat of a Car in the school parking lot. We were told early on that this was the alleged AR-15 but the narrative changed through out the day. Why?

    3.) The Timeline of events has changed several times in the weeks after. Why?

    It Should NEVER be a Crime to Ask Questions Folks even if those questions lead to potentially scary Answers . We have become far to timid and soft as a society, there are times when people’s opinions are offensive but they HAVE every right to express themselves without the fear of a Lynch MOB attacking them or Having ones Job threatened.

  30. James – Thank you for your analysis. All you did was to give a timeline that shows something is in error in the media’s reporting (and always, always the commentary). Stand strong.

      1. James – please explain the inclusion of the totally unrelated note in your timeline about Feinstein meeting with other government officials on her proposed legislation. What purpose does it serve other than to attempt to taint the reader’s opinion that what follows is about a gun control agenda?

  31. One question that is still on my mind about all of these is if anyone involved in this event associated to military personal american/or english…

  32. Check this out “Anderson Cooper is Keeping Them Honest.” before you even go on you are ? not honest lol..UNREAL why anyone would even go on cnn, they do not care about the truth, its their view they want out at any cost.. I can not stand our news in America.

  33. To all those attacking James,haven’t you ever stood for something in the face of adversity?I for one am relieved that someone with some credentials voiced his opinion.We need more people like him!But seriously does anyone in here have the answers?NO,but the important thing is there is an honest dialogue happening.James is simply exercising his first ammendment right,the one that most people nowadays do not care if they have it or not which is absolute insanity to me.When the first ammendement and second ammendment are gone that is all she wrote people,we should be patting him on the back for saying something because in a sense he is speaking on our behalf since most of us are too chickenshit to stand up and be counted as one of those who love liberty.Noone even knows what liberty is anymore.its fucking SAD.

    1. Lets all pat James on the back for disgracing the truth about friends of mine that lost their children, family that suffers grief over the loss of a loved one. Responsibility is what James lacks. He’s great at stirring the pot but not so good at being objective.

      1. Manny,as far as I can see,James did not intend to cause anyone grief,dont you think the families deserve to find out the truth?Why it happened?Are you aware that both shooters from Aurora and Newtown are linked to the LIBOR scandal?Both fathers scheduled to testify before Congress..don’t you find it odd that both of their sons committed two of the most heinous massacres in US history?One of which claims he was brainwashed into doing it.Something is so wrong here and James being an intelligent person sees holes in the story just like millions of others.

      2. I would think those who lost loved ones would be the 1st in line to ask questions and seek the truth. James is human just like the rest of us. Why do his objections and questions effect you so much? If the Actual Facts of this Tragedy do indeed reflect the Narrative presented and all parties involved are exactly who they claim to be. Then James may owe some of them an apology. He didn’t go up to Newtown and get in the families faces with accusations he posted his questions and assertions in his personal blog. It has been the Corporate media who decided that his was a heretical offense worthy of scorn and ridicule. I Appeal to all of you who are so quick to condemn this man to ask yourselves Just how much Trust do you really have in our Media and Government to be Honest. If the answer is any less than 100% Jame’s questions have merit.

        1. Frank, in my opinion, the world viewed through a camera leaves more questions than if you are there. I watched the news for a couple of days and then shut it off. I never had the urge to question anything since I was talking with people who live there and a man from my church brought sandwiches to the firehouse. My emotional place here is like so many others in the area – how can we help these people heal. The media is a tricky thing and I don’t very much care for it – my belief is its more incompetent than corrupt though I wouldn’t dismiss corrupt completely. I spoke too harshly initially because the accusations hurt – the idea it didn’t happen.
          You are correct and I will state my recantation again, James is providing good insight it has obviously got a lot of people talking. A curious mind is a good thing an open mind is good too.

        1. @massagrabber, the link was intriguing and pretty heady – it is certainly one way to describe society. I used to get high and listen to Pink Floyd Animals album, was a rebel throughout my youth – railing against the establishment; I was in high school then. If all our life is nothing more than enslavement then according to the Strawman theory I am absolutely powerless to escape the matrix. How does it make you feel knowing that? I genuinely welcome your thoughts on how that controls the choices you make in day to day life. I’ve been contemplating the whole idea and I’m not sure how to feel or that it matters based on the hopelessness of it. So if the illusion of freedom is created for me and there is nothing I can do about it, well, my life isnt that bad, I’m self employed, have a nice home, two beautiful daughters and my wife is my best friend and soul mate. My life is more than half over and it’s been a good one. So being enslaved is moot. I then only have compassion and empathy to give to others and work from a place of spiritual guidance to be there for others when they need someone. So, I am here to speak for those enslaved that died December 14th in a brutal and sensles act of violence brought on by what? – I’d like to know too. For the record, I believe we need to look at mental illness, pharmaceuticals and personal responsibility. Not sure if you were being playful with your rouse about me being a plant but I did find it humourous. I was wondering how long it would take for someone to bring it up. The one thing the establishment cannot take away from me is my ability to love, give love, and receive love. It is, by far, the most potent action an individual can choose. Regarding choice, we all have free will and can make a choice – freely. We willfully make choices everyday – do I kick the dog or don’t I do I help my neighbor or don’t I, do I try to better to a better example for my children or don’t I. Choices that cannot be bound by the idea of enslavement by a governing body.
          Cheers!

    2. It’s become increasingly apparent that there’s a coordinated campaign launched & ongoing against Prof. Tracy. The giveaway has been the virulence & the similarities….downright uniformity of the attacks/comments/responses. Prof. Tracy has certainly touched a nerve within America’s cultural framework (dare we say Widespread Indoctrination), similar to questioning either President Bush or the “official story” of 9/11/01….on 9/12/01. If nothing else, this entire thing has provided an intro into “Media Studies”…as well as “Social Control”.

      1. As I recall being a little older it was Jimi Hendrix and getting high. As for today and arresting the criminally insane from overwhelming me and my family, it’s not as hard as turning an oil tanker I’m pretty sure.
        When I grew up we worked (didn’t think of it as work, more like a means to an end) by picking blue berries to sell, cut down Christmas trees, paper route etc.. We (my friends as well) got our backs into our living (baba O’Riley by the WHO lol). We fixed what we broke.
        If you turn your mind to (make the circle bigger than yourself) it, you will see it as a mission to save your girls from a vacuous life in all it’s modern forms. The needing of stuff is our most obvious weakness, kill the TV (save$ savetime savememories) and educate.
        Look upon our culture as an invention contrived by Tavistock Institute with Rockefeller money paying Edward Bernays and Walter Lippman to con us into fad and fancy.
        Think of the people that put this misery in play as your enemy. Don’t give them any credit. They are killing millions and debate a thin veil of concern.
        All the various levels from the ‘law society’ that are a gang of sophists, liars, politicians and their add agencies or spin doctors are playing games with our lives.
        Think that the police are just like you but beholden to that ‘law society’ simply because they were trained to think of a blue line. They used to play where we played.
        Let them know, when you know that they are trapped like the rest of us by that same ‘law society’. Look hard at every layer, including your municipality the same way.
        The fact is we are all sovereign. When they try and lord over us be prepared. Grow up. When I was 17 the Czechoslovakia revolution sent a few families to our town. One of my contemporaries tried what was mildly considered fast and loose by cheating him. After Stephan asked him to make it whole and Mike said he wouldn’t he got a punch in the nose (had a large nose). Stephan didn’t do it to be viscous but it had to be done.
        This mess took a while in the making but it will fall much quicker.

  34. Right on.The fact that we do not actually speak anymore is part of the problem.We all sit here in our blogs and vent our frustrations about the world around us,but when we walk out our front door most of us do not voice our opinions,why?Because we are so fucking scared of what our neighbor might say,word gets around pretty quick when you start talking.The CIA has condoned for a long time after 9/11 to spy on your neighbor,report any suspicious activity,so here we all are holed up in our own little worlds with little or no effect on the real root of the problem.I have nothing but admiration for someone with NO FEAR.Say whats on your fucking mind people,good bad or indifferent.

  35. Keep pushing forward Prof. Tracy. Little Yalie CIA intern warmongering cheerleader Anderson Vanderbilt would do better pounding the pavement in the buff like his Kony2012 buddies. Welcome to Disneyword America. Cheers.

  36. Be proud the media is coming out to demonise you, they don’t care when it’s a bunch of “conspiracy theorists” but when it’s a respectable guy with a good job they get concerned.

    They release the hounds because they know that one guy with a degree, to the general public, has more currency than a thousand without coming to the same conclusion.

  37. If we are afraid to speak out, for fear of losing our jobs, fear of the negative opinions of others for expressing our own opinions, fear of winding up on some government “kill list” (yes, Obama has one and it’s existence has been reported in mainstream media), then the “terrorists” have won (as dear ol’ GW Bush loved repeating ad nauseum). The question is WHO ARE THE REAL TERRORISTS? WHAT DO THEY WANT? WHY DO THEY WANT IT? HOW ARE THEY GOING ABOUT TRYING TO GET IT? WHEN AND WHERE ARE THEY MEETING THEIR GOALS?

    If simply digging for the truth of who, what, where, when and why in regards to an event such as the Sandy Hook Massacre (which is being used to alter our country forever) is provoking people to nonsensical hysterical name-calling and emotional apolexy, then, yes, I’d say the “terrorists” are winning.

    I applaud Mr. Tracy for his enormous cojones and hope and pray it’s not too late for the majority of the rest of us to grow a like pair.

    God Bless you, James Tracy. You are a voice in the wilderness of idiocy.

    1. A lot of people are behind James Tracy, we need more people like him to question what on earth is going on.. Questions must be answered, his statement has been twisted and taken out of contest. We need to listen and open our minds.

    2. @Gay – “fear of winding up on some government “kill list” (yes, Obama has one and it’s existence has been reported in mainstream media)”

      If it’s been reported in the mainstream media, why on earth do you believe it? Isn’t that what this is all about, that you can’t believe what you see in the media? If you really live in fear of the CIA over saying what’s on your mind, I feel sorry for you. You have no idea what freedom is and you shouldn’t be trying to speak about it.

  38. I believe my understanding of Mr. Tracy’s point has been made regarding journalism’s lack of responsible action in this matter. While there are lingering questions in wake of the horrible massacre, why has the media not continued the investigation until the questions are answered? They have, instead, tried to make the questions seem ludicrous and the questioner seem irrelevant, while many other thoughtful people have had the same doubts regarding the storyline in this case. Why is it disrespectful to question the main stream story line? After the tornado in Joplin, alot of the story line didn’t make sense and there were many inconsistencies. We, the citizens asked questions to no avail. The local media did not deviate from the official story, mind you, or even attempt to answer our questions! In this case, where this horrific tragedy is being USED to attempt to take away one of our most important Constitutionally given rights, it is our duty as citizens to ask questions. Where there are no questions, there is no truth.

    1. Again – please tell me why the government would collude with the media to elaborately stage this event, when they could just TELL us that Congress had passed gun control legislation and be done with it?

  39. I believe the shooting happened, but the media really dropped the ball reporting on it and their lust for getting the story is actually more demeaning and insulting to the victims than some conspiracy theorists asking questions. I was listening to Howard Stern and he was pointing out how the news interviews people who have hardly any connection to the story in any way.

  40. One has a difficult time imagining a more close minded set of disinformation queens than those commenting above. There are two ways that people can be so certain. One, they are paid to be so by forces with something to hide. Two, no, wait three ways… Two, that they are so arrogant and pig headed that the way reality can work (for them) must be between their ears even though they have absolutely no chance of knowing truth as they were not an actual witness. Third, they are blinkered acolytes of that new religion called The Church of the Divine State, the one that requires blank minded adherence to its Dogma irrespective of any indicative evidence of the contrary and, thus, are more helpless mental cases than those working on blind faith with the Holy Roman Catholic Church. Such thinking produced the mental state of denial that was brought on after the Kennedy Murder in ’63; followed by the murders of King and the other Kennedy… murders that numbed and disillusioned more than a generation of genuine people.

    1. The term “conspiracy theory” has its origins in The Kennedy Assassination, when it was used to deride, isolate, attack, demoralize ANYONE who had “THE NERVE” to question the storyline THE STATE put forth(THE WARREN COMMISSION). So in fact, that term was invented for situations like this. And it has worked….for almost 50 years, to do precisely what it has done anytime a “shock” event happens that questions the VERY foundation of THE STATE & it’s ultimate premise.

    2. Or maybe it’s just you who has a distorted sense of reality. Just because you say something is so, why should I believe you? I’m sure you’ll just turn around and say that I’ve just proved your point. All I’ve proved is that you make blanket declarations and assume you are right, and when someone disagrees, you insist you are right. Sounds pretty close-minded to me. We’re more alike than different, huh?

  41. Why say such things? Because the media is now functioning as an arm of the state and not an independent set of information providers. Aside from the fact that they are owned by agencies of the overall state, it was a marriage made in the annals of power seeking and greed.

    1. It’s very interesting CNN was chosen to “set off” this particular event. If I’m not mistaken, in one of the Prof’s interviews, he implicates CNN as a major participant in a program created by THE PENTAGON to seed MILITARY PERSONNEL within the Press Corp of MAJOR Mass Media Organizations, and alluded to the possibility(I agree as well) it affected coverage during the events of 9/11/01. That program is probably still in effect.

  42. Hello Mr, Tracy. I’m not sure if you’ll read this but I have questions about what guns were officially found? I have been looking all over the internet for this and have so far only found official reports that four handguns were found in the school and a shotgun was found in the trunk of the car. However, we know H.W. Carver, the medical examiner, stated that all of the shootings were done with a long rifle. Everyone then seemed to jump to this supposed fact that Adam Lanza used an AR15 but where was this rifle found? I haven’t heard that one was found at all. I have heard that rifle shell casings were found all over the school though.

    Also, this is very interestng and peculiar. I saw a Canadian news video with a reporter claiming an eye witness told him he saw Lanza dressed as clergy when he got out of his car. He said he was dressed as a priest. You can find the video of this Canadian News report on youtube I believe. The audio of the police dispatch for Newtown, CT on that day only an hour after the shooting also has police reporting they’re looking for two suspects in a purple van “possible wearing nuns outfits”. Interestingly, there happens to be a photo of two nuns with a caption underneath reading, “Two unidentified nuns leave the scene of the aftermath at Sandy Hook Elementary”. What’s strange is that the nuns who are “unidentified” happen to be wearing official looking lanyard i.d’s and they have black manly jackets with black military style tactical shoes. My husband has these same looking shoes and jacket for his law enforcement tactical training work. I woukld be interested in knowing if these nuns could be identified or if at the very least there is a church nearby which would explain why they’d be on the scene of the school shooting. Is this how nuns in Newtown, CT dress?

    Finally, I saw an interview done a while back with Katie Couric called “One Family’s Story of Survival” in which a mother of a child arrived at the school right as the shooting was underway. She said she thought something was amiss because there was a “black car parked out front with all the doors open and black sweatshirts strewn about it.”

    If you look at the aerial photos taken of Adams car, you can plainly see two black items of clothing between Adam’s car and the entry to the school, laying on the pavement. To me, the items of clothing look too large to be sweatshirts and appear to look much more like black robes (the kind nuns would wear).

    So getting back to the AR15 and its wearabouts, maybe it went with the two “nuns” after they took off their black robes and jumped into the purple van?

    Hope someone looks into all of this. It’s sounding more and more like a Hollywood script all the time.

    1. next we’ll have a ban on nuns lol i do see the mysterious pic of the two nuns that just seem to look so out of place,wearing larger than life shoes,one looking as if she/he is hiding something..and looking quite masculine.

    2. O M G

      You people have SUCH vivid imaginations – you should use them for good instead of trying to foment conspiracy theories.

      1) I went to Catholic grade school – trust me, these are real nuns.
      2) The caption under the picture of the nuns in the Chicago Tribune says “Two unidentified nuns leave the scene of the aftermath at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.” To me it looks like they are standing there. Without the caption, who’s to say they are coming or going? One thing we all seem to agree on is how inaccurate the media is.

      I’ve taken a close look at the hi-res photo posted here: http://i.huffpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/269896/slide_269896_1886666_free.jpg?1355705633000

      3) It does not appear to me AT ALL as though one of them is hiding something long under her coat
      4) The lanyard appears to be an identity badge – medical in nature. Perhaps they work or volunteer at a nearby hospital? Nuns often do that, you know. Danbury Hospital’s website has this: “A Roman Catholic Mass, open to all is held every Saturday at 4 p.m. That Mass is also broadcast throughout the hospital on Channel 54.” The website of the nearby Cancer Treatement Center of America has this: “If you would be more comfortable seeing clergy from your own faith affiliation, our chaplains will contact local clergy for you and help coordinate this visitation.” On the nearby St. Vincent’s website here, http://www.stvincents.org/about-us/history in the middle of the page you see a nun wearing (gasp) a LANYARD! And here, http://daughtersofcharity.org/find-a-sister/ are two nuns sporting black, manly coats! So to answer your question, YES – plenty of reason for religious folk to be nearby.
      5) You wrote: “If you look at the aerial photos taken of Adams car, you can plainly see two black items of clothing between Adam’s car and the entry to the school, laying on the pavement. To me, the items of clothing look too large to be sweatshirts and appear to look much more like black robes (the kind nuns would wear).” Yet, two paragraphs earlier you wrote: “I saw a Canadian news video with a reporter claiming an eye witness told him he saw Lanza dressed as clergy when he got out of his car. He said he was dressed as a priest.” I don’t suppose your vivid imagination could put Adam back in his priest clothing for a minute (you know, black robes?) – he gets out of the care, walks toward the school. (Maybe this is why we don’t see security footage of him approaching the school?) He ditches his priest garb, shoots our the door, etc. Might that not be a possibility also?

      If it sounds like a Hollywood movie, maybe it’s because so much imagination is put into making it look that way. Boring stories don’t make good conspiracy theories, do they?

  43. Lets have another look at Mr Cooper in one of his penetrating pieces of investigative journalism as he interviews the delightfully cheerful couple better known as Grace McDonnells’ parents:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToQNVJE4xgk

    How about that OWL?! (sshhh! that’s an occult secret!) And, the family group hug with the casket? Oh, and, of course, reminding us all that it’s the community and the teachers who raise your child (It takes a village!). What child wouldn’t rather be with her teacher, versus her mother, when she’s sick? Who needs families? Isn’t that just great that little Gracie shared a love of Martha’s Vineyard and Hawaii with the president?! Gosh, we wouldn’t want to leave HIM out of our story, now, would we? I don’t know about anyone else but I’d be happy, too, if my kid got murdered at school, the place she loved the very most. Yes, indeed, this interview is full of goodies for those with eyes to SEE.

    1. These parents seem so ‘o k’ about their little girl dying.. they have accepted that they willl not see her again.. and have photo’s to remind them of her. Why do I feel so different – with diffent emotions to this horror story., a beautiful child taken from then so suddenly and so violently – I would have to be sedated.. maybe in the USA things are taken for granted more… I just don’t know.. can’t fathem the interviews…

      One Question.. Does any one have any idea about the Nuns standing in the car park at the event..? where do they come from…what were they doing there? I know Nuns wear flat black shoes.. but the lady on the left of the picture that I saw must take a size 12. very unusual.. if any one has any info on these ladies It would be welcome. and put some questions to bed.

  44. This is not surprising that CNN would pick up on the questions by the Professor and use them in their agenda to demonize anyone that has rational and logical questions on ANY of many events over the years.

    Alex Jones, in his appearance on CNN’s Piers Morgan show, is also being used for propaganda purposes, although in his case they are linking his emotional state to that of “Conspiracy Theorists”.

    The key words “Conspiracy Theorist” have been associated in Mainstream Media with ‘whackos’ and far out nonsense. In so doing, the Mainstream Media can then just say the words, “conspiracy theorist”, and a red light goes on in an unsuspecting viewers head….designed to destroy credibility of anyone with opposing opinions or views of the establishment.

    Anderson Cooper is a shill and a propagandist. It appears he has, or had, connections to the CIA and son to the Vanderbilt dynasty. They look for people like Tracy, with credentials, who they can demonize publicly and connect to “conspiracy theory”. Unfortunately, this may just be the beginning of a smear campaign against him, with CNN’s goal of getting him fired from his job. They can then wave him as an example to ensure others do not question authority.

    It might be good to check Tracy out a little too. Alex Jones, in my opinion, is debatable as a possible agent.

    1. Yeah, like WHY does this timeline include as the 3rd item, a totally unrelated bit about Feinstein meeting with government officials about her proposed legislation? Could it be an evil plot to make the whole Sandy Hook incident seem more like a government conspiracy to get the people ready for new gun control laws? Anybody else see the resemblance between Dianne and the nun on the right? She HAD to be supervising it all right? (Please, take this as pure sarcasm – it IS)

      1. Raul Thankyou for stating that these ‘ Nuns are real’.. we are asking quiestions
        that the media haven’t answered, this whole episode of tragedy needs to
        be investigated, not by the FBI or local police. I just hope they don’t decide
        to demolish the School, a good way of hiding any thing that might divert from
        the original story.

  45. Anderson Cooper: ” I’m shocked, shocked to find that a conspiracy is going on in here!” You can tell the news media is lying whenever their lips are moving.
    Not going on the show was brilliant – they had to do a hatchet job with nobody to hatchet and millions of people will be going online now to figure out the truth.

  46. Let’s say there’s a “working class” ditch digger. He digs ditches for a living. Let’s say someone agrees to give the ditch digger a sandwich if he digs them a ditch. One ditch for one sandwich.
    That is called “Trade”.
    Let’s say at some point we all agree to recognize a certain amount of gold as being worth the same as someone digging one ditch and also worth the same as one sandwich. This enables the ditch digger to work for a third party and get paid one piece of gold – then go trade that piece of gold for one sandwich.
    That is called using “Commodity Money”.
    ====
    Now, let’s say we all agree that it’s a good idea to store our gold in a bank and have that bank issue receipts that we can use in our daily transactions. So, now the ditch digger works and get paid one receipt – then he goes to someone else and trades that receipt for a sandwich.
    That is using a receipt as money.
    ======
    Now, let’s say the bank is being run by a group of co-religionists whose religious doctrine instructs them to inflict the crime of usury on all others. So they start writing out receipts and loaning them out to people for repayment – plus interest. They also write receipts out to themselves and their co-religionists and they go around “buying” things with those receipts.
    This is called “Organized Crime”.
    =====
    What do you think happens as a result of that?
    Look around.
    This is what happens. They own the banks, they own the media, they own your government, they own the large corporations.
    ========
    Members of that group have a Monopoly on receipt writing and the governments they have bribed force us to use those receipts as “money”. They also “loan” those receipts out for interest. BTW, there’s no gold in that vault upon which those receipts are based. Those receipts are based on nothing. They are J**Paper. Might as well wipe your ass with it.
    ===
    This crime is mathematically compounded by the practice of charging interest for the use Receipts-As-Money.
    USURY and the CATHOLIC CHURCH
    Historically (as in “waaaay” back) the Catholic Church had been dead set against the practice of charging interest for the use of money. That practice was known as “usury”. Today, we understand the mathematics and social implications of that practice. Gottfried Feder even convinced Adolf ****** to join his political party in the fight against this great historical evil that J**s employ as part of their religious beliefs and practices.
    Early on, Christians were forbidden to practice usury but J**s were not – because the practice of usury is authorized by their criminal religion.
    As a result, “Banking” became a J**ish operation. This social disease spread into the Renaissance period when the Medici family took over. The Medici’s infiltrated the Church and manipulated it to allow the practice of usury to continue.
    The link between the religious sphere and the field of banking stems from a theological doctrine on usury, the practice of lending money with an added cost called interest.
    DEUTERONOMY 28:20
    Usury is found in a biblical verse, Deuteronomy 28:20, which reads: “Unto a foreigner thou may lend usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend usury.” The accepted interpretation of this verse by the Catholic Church is that “brother” refers to any human being, whereas the dominant Jewish interpretation identifies a “brother” as specifically a fellow J**.
    Thus for the Christian, usury is prohibited, whereas the Jewish interpretation permits usury as long as the money is lent to a non-J**. This divergence in interpretation created a fortuitous opportunity for the ***s of the thirteenth through fifteenth centuries to monopolize the banking profession.
    ====
    Now you know who is responsible for what is happening to the economy – and also, who wants to disarm you.

    1. BTW, feel free to attempt to disprove ANYTHING I said above. It is all true. Consider the implications. Open your wallet and take a look at those “Receipts” you’re using as “Money”. They constitute the means of your enslavement.

  47. We are now in a society so overwhelmed with information. You can log into twitter an see Miley’s new hot spot, read your local newspaper to get the names and addresses of every gun owner in NY and check out Facebook to what your “friends” are up to. We support inquiries for information about the government, media etc.. Why are we holding this inquiry to a different standard? Because it involved murdered children?
    When people stop asking questions that’s when we really have a problem. Right now we’re turning into a society that discourages such questioning. A society that crucifies someone for asking the questions most of us don’t have the courage to. A society that believes what we see on TV is truth.

    Keep questioning… It’s our inherent right.

    1. Why is it every one readily believes everything they see about Miley, the local newspaper that prints gun owners’ addresses, and Facebook – yet when there’s a tragedy involving murdered children, it simply MUST be a conspiracy? You’re right – there is a double standard.

      1. Because #1 no one cares about Miley – it’s not that important and it doesn’t matter if it is true or false.

        #2 There have been several of these situations (mass killings) one after the other with very faulty and flawed and unbelievable official stories that need intensive questioning and real answers and evidence. There is your answer!

  48. “Dissent is the highest for of patriotism.” – Thomas Jefferson

    Question everything. I fully support that this courageous fellow has questioned the official narrative and he certainly should since, it not only makes no sense, it has changed multiple times.

    The Sandy Hoax either never occurred and nobody died (or, certainly, nowhere near the numbers cited) or it was a coordinated kill team of multiple shooters. Anybody who knows anything about shooting knows that Adam Lanza could not have been a “lone wolf.”

    Keep up the fine work, sir.

  49. We are truly seeing the mental illess creep out of those who are gun nuts. Perhaps the aliens staged Sandy Hook, or was it the CIA? Maybe a still alive JFK came up with the idea from his secret bunker, where he is secretly contolling all world events? And you are a tenured professor? I didn’t even know you could get a PhD in Paranoia. Double up on the lithium, and stop trying to influence young adults. Granted, you’re from Florida, so inbreeding is understood, but c’mon Professor Clown, stick to huntin’ gators. Mitt Romney can’t help you anymore, we elected him irrelevant to the 21st century.

    1. You mean creeping out of the anti-gun community, don’t you? Sandy Hook was done by a guy who committed over 40 felonies that day. And only someone who wouldn’t recognize a bullet if it bit him in the ass would think one more law would have helped to prevent that.

      Maybe we need a law to make it a crime to shoot your mother. Wait – we have that. Maybe a law to make it illegal to steal a gun? Oops, got that one. Maybe we should prevent certified nutzos from getting guns. Dang, got that one too.

      Face it, this isn’t about gun control. It’s about y’all’s fear of anyone with a gun, because you folks are afraid of your own shadows. Do you fear being shot, but not being stabbed with a screwdriver? Not being bludgeoned with a hammer?

      There are more guns in this country than citizens, and by at least one source – 140 MILLION gun owners. That’s about 2 out of 3 adults. So if you’re that worried, maybe you should emigrate to Norway or some place where there’s no gun violence. Oh, wait, there was that Brevik guy, wasn’t there? Too bad for you Fox.

      Just learn to live with your fear, you lily-livered chicken-poop commie. (I figured you’d like a few insults, since you insulted the professor so readily. I just saved them for the end of my list of points.)

  50. nellieou,

    “Everyone then seemed to jump to this supposed fact that Adam Lanza used an AR15 but where was this rifle found?”

    Quoting the MSM, “a Glock and a Sig Sauer, both pistols, inside the school, and a .223-caliber rifle in the back of a car”. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jQFVxPi4y0Pr-qGlyqGmnxLYGxHA
    *******************
    (1.) Please note that from day one, the two handguns (“pistols”), were immediately identified – both to type of weapon (pistols) and ‘manufacturer’. Since the positive ID of the pistols has remained essentially unaltered from day-one, this seems to indicate that the individual(s) who ID’ed those ‘pistols’ had to see them first-hand. This begs a question;… Why would the individuals(s) who initially ID’ed the pistols, EXCLUDE the glaring presents of a “rife”, on or around the alleged shooter when the pistols were ID’ed? This suggests to me, that there was NO “rifle” in the school?

    (2.) Upon entering a crime scene littered with spent shell casings, any crime scene investigator worth his pay would immediately notice the difference between 9mm (pistol) brass and “223” (rifle) brass – the two are completely different in size and shape… and easily recognizable from 20 feet away. It wasn’t until days later that the “rifle” somehow magically appeared in the school… and the crime scene was suddenly littered with ‘hundreds’ of rounds of unmistakably identifiable spent shell casing.

      1. That’s not all… ponder this….

        From CNN’s December 14 2012 timeline http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/12/14/shooting-reported-at-connecticut-elementary-school/?iref=allsearch

        11:34 a.m. ET – Two “pistols” ID’ed and recovered from the dead suspect (in the school) – a Glock, and a Sig Sauer.

        2:20 p.m. ET – Nancy Lanza’s home secured by law enforcement.

        3:54 p.m. ET – First mention of an assault rifle (.223 Bushmaster)

        Note: The very first mention of the Bushmaster ‘assault’ rifle, was approximately 1 hr 34 min AFTER securing Nancy Lanza’s home – Clearly, plenty of time to transplant Ms. Lanza’s Bushmaster to the school. Sounds reasonable to me.

  51. My, how the paid trolls turn out to attack the new societal scapegoat who has the unmitigated nerve to ask an intelligent question. That they lower themselves by cursing just exposes their complicity in covering for the perpetrators of this alleged incident. To their dismay it turns out that multitudes are asking the same questions that this professor is asking and we are not getting any plausible or satisfactory answers. That fact remains.

  52. Question everything! To those of you offering insults, what you should be saying is thank you for being awake and helping us all to “keep them honest” Isn’t that what Anderson is saying he wants? Well then why isn’t it ok for this teacher to do it? I guess truth hurts when its not meant to be known. The constant lies

    from government and media are what is sickening, not questioning what is obviously a n insult to all of or providence

    here is a picture – I know our Nuns were pretty scary but none had a size 14 shoe- in 3 separate pictures have the tall nun with her right hand apparently holding down something, So it looks like a six ft 2 inch 70 year old pregnant Nun is holding her stomach – with her size 14 shoes on- seems normal.

  54. All or most of the corpses are genuine. However, they were the work of a trained professional, who was arrested near the crime scene and quietly released – because, even police chiefs and prosecutors, as they say in Russia: “can have problems.” Notice that the school is soon to be demolished, just in case someone ends up finding bullet holes of the wrong size, or other physical oddities. And inconvenient people will have “tragic accidents.” Or be found with hard drives full of child porn. Or simply vanish. Or even end up announced as the deceased perpetrators of the next sensational murder-suicide. What is absolutely certain is that questioning the official story (once the officials finally settle on a coherent story – something they seem to have a bit of trouble with) will never be permitted in polite society. Any hint of deviation from the party line will be met with talk of tinfoil hats, Jew-Masonic conspiracies, and the like. We’ve been through this already with OK City, 9/11, and so forth.

  55. Mr. Tracy, you have hit not only a nerve, it appears, but have struck at the very “heart” of this leviathan….the Illuminati Thugs.
    NOTHING about this situation rings true. When I saw the videos of greiving father Robbie Parker, Grace’s parents, Victoria Soto’s family and many other “greiving” parents I felt nauseated and chilled to my soul. I lost my son in 2011 and I was beyond devastated. My sister said that after the uniformed men asked me my name I backed away from them and began to howl. I can remember running through my home screaming. I can remember the horrific pain I felt at the loss of my son. I wanted to die. I screamed, I howeld, I wailed…I died that day.
    My son was a grown man yet it felt the same as if he would have been 7. A parent’s greatest desire is to protect their child…because they cannot protect themselves when they are young. That is our responsibility. Yet, what I saw in the eyes of those “parents” and heard in their smiling voices was nothing even akin to what I experienced on June 12th, 2011. I saw and heard no pain, no anguish, no anger, nothing that would convince me that these people lost their baby. Anderson Cooper ( media whore that he is ) says that not all people greive alike…well, I saw none in those interviews.

    Can someone tell me who the hell calls the media for an interview after losing a baby in such a horrific way? It appears that Lynn McDonnel and her husband, Chris, can. I am appalled that anyone could believe this drivel that the media foists upon us without so much as asking the very questions that beg to be asked. At least Mr. Tracy has the intelligence and courage to question the “official” story.

    It is good to know that there are a few sane and aware people in the world such as Mr. Tracy.

    I question not only the “official” story of Sandy Hook but also the sanity of those who populate the White House and their devious minions who serve their Illuminati Masters. The insane are absolutely running the asylum!

  56. I sir, took the time to read your posts on Sandy Hook, and I agree with you on pretty much all points. I too want some of the changes in the story explained, I too want to know who those two guys running through the woods are. I too want to know how we have video of a police officer taking the rifle out of the trunk of a car – yet the police coroner says everyone was shot with a rifle – while the earliest reports from witnesses said ‘two pistols’ were the only weapons carried. And there are other questions too that remain unanswered.

    There is also the fact that everyone is rushing to craft ‘solutions’ to the problem, while the CT State Police have yet to conclude their investigation and release what in the end will be ‘the evidence’. That will be the official story, and we don’t know squat until it’s out and all those ‘facts’ can be tested in court. At that point there may still be ‘unanswered questions’, but the story must remain ‘fixed’ then. Meanwhile, they are still honing the versions. It’s pathetic.

    Keep up the good work Professor!

  57. no one, not even prof tracy is saying it didn’t happen. we’re just saying it didn’t happen as reported. any human with a brain can see that it wasn’t.

    but just like Anderbuilt Cooper all of the MSM supporters have ignorant, select hearing.

    who was the guy arrested and detained outside of the school? answer that question and then we’ll move on to why there’s practically no pictures of the scene from ground level. we have picture of a topless duchess but not one photog took out his zoom lens and snapped a pic of some broken glass or a busted out door? the front door the shooter supoosedly busted-in through. and don’t tell me the news media suddenly grew a conscience that morning.

    just ask yourself, compare this tragedy to every other one you’ve ever seen covered in the news and if you see no difference then you and i have nothing to talk about. but i think it’s pretty obvious that something is being covered up here. whether it be the govt just piggy backed on this thing so they could get the guns and hushed whatever facts didn’t fit the narrative, whether they staged the whole thing and nothing actually happened, or if the town of sandy hook has something to hide, something is fishy about this whole thing. and whatever it is has little to do with Adam Lanza.

    During the first two days of this event everyone wanted to know about the killer and people were like “let’s make it about the victims, they’re the real heroes here!” then as soon as we do make it about the victims a number of red flags pop up and then everyone is like “why don’t we just leave them alone to grieve.” you can’t have it both ways. especially when MSM and US Govt are trying to change policy in the ENTIRE COUNTRY. if the US Govt and every Soccer-Moms-Against-Guns group were strictly trying to regulate freedoms in CT then you probably wouldn’t be hearing much from us “conspiracy-nuts” but since they want to make it the entire country’s problem then this is what needs to happen.

    who was the guy arrested outside the school?

    1. I think part of the problem is that CNN is one of the news outlets that has changed it’s stories to match the official versions, while not bothering to explain the inconsistencies between their reporting on that day and the version they present today. In other words, I suspect they’re indignant at being called out on their slackness and lack of journalistic integrity.

      I also suspect it’s all a White House hatchet job on the professor. This ‘story’ broke on all the media news on the same day, with the same agendas. Coincidence? I think not. Ask Connie Chung.

      1. good comment rev Dave. on a different note; just looking back at some of the helicopter footage (since that is all we have), and granted i get that if you look hard enough for something you’ll find it, but man, it doesn’t even look like anyone even went to that school. the students of Sandy Hook were moved to a vacant (as of 2010-2011) school called Chalk Hill. The only reason i bring that up is to point out that there was an empty school building in the area. for someone over 2000 miles away that just means that Sandy Hook could have just as easily been empty. again just looking at the footage from above i don’t see any toys, balls, playgrounds, chalk drawings, or anything that might entertain kids at recess. not to mention that school just looked kind of run down. all those rich white parents and THIS is the school they go too? i understand i only saw it from the sky but i’m just putting an idea out there. if anyone wants to show me a picture of the front door, or of a window with some artwork in it LIKE EVER OTHER SCHOOL EVER then i’ll be happy to concede that the school was, in fact operational at the time of the event.

        During the entire event not one emergency vehicle had their lights on. not to mention ambulances and fire trucks double parked and parked in all over the place. no flow of traffic to or from the “firehouse” – i guess all the kids just walked home with their parents.

        MSM have no problem sticking a microphone in some kid’s face who allegedly just heard/saw/didn’t see/DIDN’T HEAR their friends and teachers just get murdered. but Prof Tracy is the jerk for questioning their official version of the events. “Yeah, and monkeys might fly out of my butt!” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lItS6RoJXLY

        Oak Ridge, Tennessee. an entire town owned an operated by the US government in the 40’s. it’s where they built the atomic bomb. so in 70 years the government never did it again? they never got better at it? they never needed an entire town for anything ever again? it didn’t work out for them? is Newtown a CIA town or Witness Protection town where these people could all live together without fear of their covers being blown while also being complicit in government plans? so far i’ve seen just as much evidence of that as i have for a shooting perpetrated by Adam Lanza. nothing is off the table. QUESTION EVERYTHING especially when they’re going after the constitution.

        if Adam Lanza were capable of doing something like this then i shutter to think what those who have the power to get away with it are capable of.

    1. Depending on a persons camera settings (phone, actual camera etc.) and where and how the photo is uploaded the timestamp on the twitter picture can be affected by the server time in which it was uploaded to. Chances are the server could be in CST or MST – so while it may be suspect, as a programmer it does not ring of foul play to me. I clipped the picture from the blog and saved it to my computer for closer inspection – the properties of the picture showed a modifed day of 1/12 and a created date of 1/15. So for me that’s not a reliable ‘clue’.

  58. This is going to sound ridiculous, but bear with me. When my cat died, I cried for three weeks–for a CAT, for heaven’s sake. If I were a child whose sister were viciously murdered (emily parker) I would NOT be whooping it up with some strange man at a photo op. If I were the parent of such a child, I sure as hell would not be smiling before going on camera. I would be an emotional mess, crying constantly for months. I have seen the robbie parker clip and the interview with the principal’s family. They are simply not credible. Fa’gedaboutit. And I haven’t even touch on the other clues that make it obvious that the official story is not true. People like MRG with his list of questions are missing the point entirely. It is not our position to say what happened. We can only know what we are told in news reports, and it is always through leaks/statements from the official agencies, have you noticed. But when told a story that simply doesn’t add up, we have the right and the obligation to say, “That isn’t credible. We need more information and more evidence.”

    Frankly, you’d have to be asleep or brainwashed to believe this official story. Do I know what really happened? Of course not and I don’t claim to know. But I do know they are lying, covering up and using this for a gun grab. I don’t need to know more.

    1. No doubt,Ive watched that clip of robbie parker so many times,his cocky arrogant walk over to the camera,smirking,and then wham he pulls some tears out of his rear end, on CUE!It is sickening to see that ,and we can only wonder WHY they are obviously acting.To be honest I never saw any actual tears,I see people manipulating their facial expressions but never any tears,ALLIGATOR tears,just like Obama.This whole scenario makes me so sad.

      1. With all due respect, ‘obviously acting’ is your opinion. How people grieve is not a measure of sincerity. How can you be sure that later that night when he had more alone time (this is me speculating other options based on life eperience) he didn’t fall apart? We don’t know for sure, anymore than we know what was being said prior to him coming to the camera. These observations are speculative and taken from context that does not fully represent what happened before or after. It is very plausible to have widely varied reactions that sometimes seem disproprtionate to the circumstances. Someone here mentioned they cried for 3 weeks after their cat passed away. I get that – my sister had her cat cremated and put in an urn – that was several years ago, she stil misses him. I cried months later (it was a bit of a breakdown) after my divorce over not being with my children everyday. I have friends in Newtown and they lost friends and attended funerals. So far I haven’t heard anything from them indicating foul play. I do find the gun mix up to be odd. Maybe a very distraught official messed around. The scene may have been very upsetting which could drive people to do extreme things they ordinarily wouldn’t do. By the way, the people I know have been in Newtown for as long as 10 years or more and I’m pretty sure they aren’t crisis actors.

        1. Manny you obviously believe what you believe,if you are fine with all of the incongruent data,that is fine with me I dont care what you think sir,stop trolling my comments pls.

        2. Hmm, why such a reaction – are you so convinced in your own mind that you won’t evaluate other options or information, how is that objective thinking. I’m not sure why my response to you is trolling but your responses to others aren’t. Little confused about your response. Are you afraid of something?

  59. Go find someone who shares your beliefs and start a conversation of your own, why dont you?Why are you on a campaign to change others beliefs?If others want to question the things that are not adding up it is their right along with Tracy, now do everyone in here a favor a fuck off.sincerely.

    1. Beliefs aren’t truths. And why does it matter to me? Because my friends are experiencing real pain and out of respect for them i want to try and fill in gaps where I can to yes, enlighten. Staying with like minded people creates a closed system of thought. I would love to sit with this group and others to have a real conversation about how to deal with this epidemic. I’d be happy to create a group on Yahoo or somewhere to carry on the conversation if anyone is interested. I feel bad continuing here as Mr Tracy maybe wants some peace himself.

      1. yes please go somewhere else,people in here are exploring options,people like yourself think you have it figured out and no need to investigate any further,yes go to yahoo pls and continue your convo with like minded people who also feel all is well,nothing to see here mentality.Truth is, there are probably always going to be questions.You would not make a very good detective sir,so quit while youre still ahead.

        1. For the record, I do not claim to have it figured out, just the parts that I am exposed to. I agree there are unaswered questions which I will use my proximity and resources to find out what I can. I do believe there will always be unanswered questions but the deaths for me are real. You react so threatened, is it because you are a gun owner who is afraid your gun rights will be revoked? I think you’re just going to yell at me again so I’ll stop bother you.

    2. your a fuck off and so is your hero here. Whacko, dellusional, histerical, laughable, and totally fake. Rewrite the truth to your own likind. Grow up!!!!!!!!!

  60. It is very encouraging to see someone standing up for what they believe in no matter what anyone else says. I have read your blog, and I can see that you have done a lot of research. I agree with your concern on this matter.

  61. The media (e.g., CNN) spoon-feeds us the version the producers seem fit for the consumption of the unsophisticated!

    A good journalist will question the events in a professional timeline as did Dr. Tracy and I commend his actions.

    Tough questions needs to be asked; however, it appears (In my opinion) the CT state police are in the midst of a cover-up!

  62. Newtown Bee article 12/27/2012 – Man in woods with a gun was an off duty tactical squad officer from another town. WTF WTF WTF ?

    I want the surveillance video and all 911 calls

    http://newtownbee.com/News/2012-12-27__14-58-27/Police%20Union%20Seeks%20Funding%20For%20Trauma%20Treatment

    By Andrew Gorosko

    As police this week continued their probe into the December 14 incident involving 28 shooting deaths, including 20 first-graders and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the lawyer who represents the Newtown Police Union is seeking help from the town, state, and federal governments to extend paychecks for “three to five” town police officers who were so traumatized by the incident that they have not yet been emotionally able to return to work.

    Police union lawyer Eric Brown said this week that three to five of the town police officers who responded to the crime scene have been off work and collecting sick time pay in light of their being traumatized by the school shooting incident.

    However, because the town provides only ten sick days for an officer annually, those police now face the prospect of being off work without pay, Mr Brown said.

    The town police department has 45 members. Mr Brown said he expects that potentially 15 town police officers could be clinically emotionally affected by their response to the incident.

    Mr Brown said that workman’s compensation is keyed to providing funds for people with physical injuries, not emotional injuries such as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

    The town government has been receptive to the plight of the police officers who have not returned to work, but the town does not have paycheck funds designated for such situations, Mr Brown said.

    PTSD is an insidious long-lasting emotional condition, Mr Brown said.

    Police face serious, intense situations on a daily basis, he said. But what occurred at Sandy Hook School on December 14 was something on a magnitude that could not have been imagined, he said.

    Twenty first-graders and six school staff members were killed after a 20-year-old gunman shot his way into the K–4 school on Dickenson Drive and went on a shooting rampage with a military-style assault rifle.

    State police, town police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the US Marshals Service this week continued their methodical probe into why Adam Lanza of 36 Yogananda Street, Sandy Hook, committed the horrific crime.

    Adam Lanza had shot and killed his mother Nancy Lanza, 52, in her sleep at their home before driving to the school and going on the gunfire rampage. After police encountered him at the school, Lanza shot himself to death, bringing the total number of the dead to 28.

    State police this week declined comment on their investigation into the mass murder incident. An investigatory report on what occurred, including a possible motive for the gunman’s actions, is expected within several months.

    Newtown Police Chief Michael Kehoe said he supports the police union’s drive to have financial compensation provided for the police officers who are off work due to their emotional reaction to the shooting incident.

    Since the shooting incident, police from other municipalities have aided Newtown police with local patrol work.

    “They [other police] are done, but can be called in, as needed,” he said of Newtown’s ability to have other police cover local patrol work, as needed.

    On Christmas, local police patrols were fully handled by police from other towns and cities, allowing town police to have the holiday off.

    Chief Kehoe declined to answer questions about the police probe into the shooting incident, referring such queries to state police.

    Investigation Progresses

    As the police probe has progressed, some facts of the case have become clear.

    According to a reliable local law enforcement source, Adam Lanza attempted to destroy all his computer equipment to prevent any tracing of his Internet usage and his electronic correspondence. It is thought that “some or most” of the computer data will be retrieved from the damaged equipment.

    The source confirmed that Lanza used a Bushmaster-brand military-style semiautomatic assault rifle to kill all victims at the school. Lanza also carried two pistols.

    Also, Lanza used a different rifle to kill his mother by firing four shots at her while she was in bed at home, according to the source. Adam Lanza left that rifle at Lanza residence.

    Also, Lanza shot more than 100 rounds and possibly hundreds of rounds of ammunition at the school, according to the source.

    Lanza was not wearing any “body armor” when the school incident occurred.

    Additionally, a teacher at the school who realized what was occurring during the shooting incident crowded all of her students into a rest room adjoining her classroom and then pulled a bookcase in front of the bathroom door to obscure it from view. The people hiding in that bathroom survived.

    A man with a gun who was spotted in the woods near the school on the day of the incident was an off-duty tactical squad police officer from another town, according to the source.

  63. Misrepresented, misunderstood? You accused a father who just lost his child a liar and fraud. That’s not academic rigor, that’s not questioning authority, that’s a baseless defamation of a devastated victim. I live in CT and know people friendly with the families.

    You’re a fraud and coward, hiding behind academia and the principle of critical thinking to peddle your nonsense. Start looking for work!

  64. Thank you for the courage to ask tough questions during a time when we are being intimidated into silence…..just like 911. There are many who do not have a platform who are aware the media is spinning lies, we are watching and are supporting you and others like you who are asking the questions media won’t go near. For those who buy into the false reality that is fed to us and who can’t handle free speech and a free press, maybe you should move to China. Google “the attack on the USS Liberty” if you don’t believe false flags happen….they do and the guys that carry them out kill children too. Wake up.

  65. Had you ever seen a discussion denigrate into absurdity? More often than not it is due to the volume of alcohol consumed.
    You have to wonder whether it’s in our nature to be asshole or we want to act like assholes. On the surface it amounts to the same thing. Underneath it all, we have a very serious problem. Many think there isn’t much worth saving. Some believe given the same playground we weren’t really that bad.

  66. Have you seen the Crisis Actors page on Facebook. It is all about you James Tracey. It is weird. It is weird that there is nothing about acting – it is just about articles about you and Sandy Hook. It is weird that as many “conspiracy theories” as I have heard in my lifetime that you would be picked on for asking a couple questions. Your questions were too close for comfort…. before you- know one knew about Crisis Actors. Now the world knows. Excellent job. It won’t be so easy on the next event. People are paying attention.
