Thinking about Sandy Hook:
Reality or Illusion?

“It ain ’t what we don ’t know that hurts us; it’s what we think we
know that ain ’t so. " — Will Rogers
The Sandy Hook experience
has divided Americans, most of
whom have been convinced by
media coverage that it was a
real event, where a young man
massacred 20 children and six
adults before killing himself.
Another substantial segment
of the US population has taken a
closer look at the evidence and
drawn the conclusion it was a
hoax, where no children really
died: it was an elaborate psy-op
to promote gun control.
HOW MANY MORE MASS SHOOTINGS
WILL IT TAKE FOR US TO ACT?
MgWS'J DEMOCRATS
Sandy Hook has become a celebrities cause
Americans are hard pressed to sort these things out, because they are hit
with a blizzard of reports that appear to confirm the official account, leaving
them in the predicament of not being able to tell if it was real or fake.
It matters even more today because gun control has become one of the
defining issues of politics in America, where leading Democrats (Barack
Obama and Hillary Clinton) are using their authority as President (in the
first instance) to issue Executive Orders constraining our 2nd Amendment

rights and (in the second) threatening to impose liability laws upon their
manufacturers for their use by those who buy them. Ben Carson, on the
Republican side, has observed that Jews would have been better able to
fend off The Third Reich had they not been disarmed; and Matt Drudge has
challenged the President to demonstrate his sincerity by giving up his (heavily
armed) Secret Service protection.
The appeals to Sandy Hook (shooting 20 children), the Charleston
shooting (of nine blacks) and the Oregon shooting (where college students
were asked their religion and those responding “Christian” were shot in
the head) has struck some observers as appearing to be calculated to instill
fear into specific targeted subpopulations of the American community:
parents, blacks and Christians, for example, where it’s as though we were
experiencing a series of psy-ops to convince the public that we ought to
give up our guns. That troubles many, because disarming populations has
all-too-often occurred to set the stage for tyranny in world history past. What
if Sandy Hook was only an illusion?
Probabilities vs. Certainties
Knowledge of historical events (based upon documents and records,
photos and videos and witness testimony, for example) can never be
“definitive and certain”. You only know your own origin in life (where and
when you were born and the parents who brought you into this world) on the
basis of information that could have been faked. Even DN A comparisons can
be invalid or mistaken on purpose or by accident. Your belief about today s
day/month/year is something else of which you have no direct and certain
knowledge but rather have a host of sources of information, such as
newspapers and television reports, which collectively confirm your belief but
could be fabricated or faked, but which are almost always accurate and true.
The occurrence of an elaborate hoax intended to fool the people does not
occur often, but there can be no doubt that it does sometimes occur. The
Warren Report (1964), for example, provides an indictment of Lee Harvey
Oswald as the lone assassin of JFK, where the evidence for that conclusion
was carefully selected and, in some cases, completely fabricated.
The backyard photographs were faked, for example, and the home movies
of the assassination were edited. That he had been captured in a famous photo
taken during the shooting was suppressed. (Check out The Great Zapruder
Film Hoax (2003) or many articles about JFK at jamesfetzer.blogspot.com for
abundant proof, if you like. ) These things can and sometimes do happen. And
one of them happened here.

WASHINGTON, Nov 27 (Reuters) - The Obama administration is talcing a cautious
step Inward confronting the politically tricky subject nf gun violence with an initiative
focused on prevention due to be unveiled on Tuesday.
It will not be the gun control launch that some of President Barack Obama's
supporters hoped for after Obama won a second four year term in a Nov. 6 election.
Instead, U.S. Justice Department and Connecticut state official* will announce what
one law enforcement official called a statewide approach that targets repeat criminals,
creates alternatives for potential gang members and rallies neighborhoods against
violence.
The initiative, known os Project Longevity, will send new federal grant money to
Connecticut and involve agents, academics and social workers working for or with the
FBI and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol. Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
l.'.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Connecticut Governor Dan Malloy are
scheduled to discuss the plans at a news conference in New Haven. Connecticut, at 11
OJM. (1600 GMT).
If you only read the government’s account, you might very well be
convinced that JFK had been killed by Lee Oswald. And if you only paid
attention to the mass media, you would probably believe that 20 children
died at Sandy Hook. Once you acknowledge that some of the evidence has
been fabricated or faked, however, the case begins to assume a completely
different character. This does not mean we cannot know what happened in this
instance, but it should not have been necessary to frame a guilty man. New
evidence or alternative hypotheses may thus require us to revise our position
by rejecting hypotheses we previously accepted, accepting hypotheses we
previously rejected and leaving others in suspense. We now know more
about Sandy Hook.
Inference to the best explanation
The principle known as “inference to the best explanation”, has the
potential to turn every American into a critical thinker in comparing alternative
hypotheses. In relation to Sandy Hook, there are two alternatives, which have
consequences that would also be true (or probably true) if they were true and
others that would be false (or probably false) if they were not (setting the
alleged suicide by Adam Lanza to the side):
(hi) Sandy Hook was a real event, where 20 children and 6 adults were
killed at a school;
(h2) Sandy Hook was an elaborate hoax, where a drill was conducted
and no children died.

Jim Fetzer
But the key to understanding is making an appraisal of which of these
hypotheses is better supported by the evidence. We can think of the evidence
as effects of one or another hypothesis as their cause. When one hypothesis
makes the effects more probable than the other, it is more likely to be true
and the alternative false. For the shooting to have been real, the school had
to have been operational in 2012; yet we have indication after indication
that it had been abandoned by 2008 (which you will discover in Chapters 2
and 3), including not only its deplorable physical condition (both inside and
out), but also that it was not in compliance with both federal and state laws
required in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act:

Analogously, we know from past experience that the names, ages and sex
of victims of crimes are almost invariably printed in newspaper accounts of
crimes. In this case, however, the final reports coming from the Connecticut
authorities did not include them. That is a very odd aspect of this event, but
an attempt has been made to explain it away on the ground of preserving the
privacy of the families of the victims. But if there were victims, their families
already know they are dead. There is no evident benefit to the families, if it
was real, but a major element of the cover up, if it was not.
From the date of the event, we have a photograph taken from a CT State
Police chopper at 9:15 AM/ET, which is 20 minutes before the first 911 call
came in; there was no surge of EMTs into the building to rush those little
bodies off to hospitals, where doctors could pronounce them dead or alive;
virtually all of the emergency vehicles were kept at the Firehouse, which
became the center of activity as opposed to the school; the parents were not
6
Thinking about Sandy Hook: Reality or Illusion?
even allowed to identify their children, which was done using photos. As a
parent myself, I can emphasize that there is no way I could have been kept
from viewing the body of a child of mine, where the conduct of the “parents”
in this case is unlike that of any parents I have ever known, where these many
oddities are confirmed by Chapter 5.
Other circumstantial anomalies
If the school had been abandoned, then the shooting has to be an illusion,
since there would have been no students present for Adam Lanza to shoot.
And if that were the case, then we might not be surprised if any number of
measures were taken at the time by authorities to suppress relevant information
(and thereby making it unavailable) or by otherwise circumventing what
would have been the ordinary and normal procedures of investigation and
administration by local and state authorities. But the measures that were taken
were rather extraordinary, including these examples:
* the Attorney General of Connecticut argued against releasing the 911
calls, where the court ruled against him;
* the Clerk of Newtown entered into secret negotiations with the state
legislature to avoid issuing death certificates;
* a special panel of the state legislature recommended that any state
employee who released information about Sandy Hook other than via
Freedom of Information Act request be prosecuted as an E-felony with a
five year sentence; and,
* those who were hired to participate in the demolition of the school
building were required to sign life-time gag orders that prohibit them
from talking about what they saw or did not see during its destruction.
Each of these qualifies as a “fact” insofar as its truth can be confirmed
by research you can conduct yourself. Admittedly, if all the information
accessible via the Internet about Sandy Hook were fabricated or faked, then
that would not be the case.
But 1 know of no one who seriously contests any of these points. So ask
yourself, what is the probability that these five claims (if we also include the
missing names, ages and sex from the final report) would be true if Sandy
Hook had been a real event? And by comparison, what is the probability these
five claims would be true if Sandy Hook had been a hoax? Winch hypothesis
is more likely to be true?

The Governor’s Press Conference
The day of the
shooting, Governor
Dan Malloy and his Lt.
Governor held a press
conference, during
which he observed that
they had been “spoken
to” that something like
this might happen. That
got me thinking about,
"something like this"?
What could that mean.
There are only two alternatives:
(a) that he had been told there would be a shooting in a school in his state,
in which case he, as governor, should have warned school districts to be
on high alert and make sure it did not happen, which he did not do; or,
(b) that he had been told they would be taking an abandoned school and
using it as a prop for a drill, which would be presented to the public as
real to promote an aggressive gun-control agenda, which is the case here.
And when 1 looked into recent visits with the Governor to determine by
whom he might have been “spoken to”, I discovered that Attorney General
Eric Holder had met with him on 27 November 2012 to discuss “Operation
Longevity”, a special interest of the Attorney General and the President of
the United Staes for promoting gun control. Mark my words. The evidence
presented here demonstrates that the school was closed by 2008; that there
were no students to evacuate; that Adam Lanza appears to have been a work
of fiction; and that the teachers, the parents, the Newtown School Board, the
State Police, the Medical Examiner and the Governor were in on the hoax.
We have the FEMA manual
Our collaborative research, you will find for yourself, is extensive,
thorough and detailed — and leaves this matter resolved beyond any reasonable
doubt. We have 50 photos that show the preparation of the Lanza home as a
prop and another 50 documenting the refurbishing of the school as a stage
(in Chapters 7 and 8). Doubt in this case would be reasonable were there a
reasonable alternative explanation. But, as you are about to discover, there
is none here.

And I am not just talking about the sign, “Everyone must check in ”,
the Port-a-Potties, the boxes of bottled water and pizza cartons at the
Firehouse, the name tags on lanyards and parents bringing their children
to (what was supposed to be) a child shooting massacre! WE HAVE THE
FEMA MANUAL. It stipulates that everyone must register and that
refreshments and restrooms will be provided. Some participants did not realize
that the official event was not until the 14th: We now know why some of the
donation pages went up a day early and why Adam Lanza was recorded as
having died on the 13th! Don’t take my word for it, because you can read it
for yourself. 1 included it here as Appendix A.
The Requirement of Total Evidence
Indeed, scientific reasoning specifically and rational inquiries generally
must satisfy the requirement of total evidence: in the search for truth, reasoning
must be based upon all of the available relevant evidence, where evidence
is relevant when its
presence or absence
(or truth or falsity)
makes a difference
to the outcome,
typically on the basis
of considerations
of probability.

According to the
official report on Sandy
9
Jim Fetzer
Hook by Danbury States Attorney Stephen Sedensky (to which we refer as
“T he Sedensky Report”), there were 489 children present that day. Minus 20
murdered, there ought to have been 469 to evacuate (as well as around 70
more teachers, administrators and staff). But we have no pictures of their
evacuation. What we have instead this “iconic” photograph (above):
It has sometimes been said that “You can ’t prove a falsehood true! ” But
that assertion overlooks the role of false clams and fabricated evidence.
We have here a photograph purporting to show a string of children being
led away from the school to safety by a policewoman on the scene. This
photo was published on the front page of virtually every newspaper in the
world — and shown endless times on television. It was undoubtedly the single
most important form of proof in convincing the public around the world that
Sandy Hook was real.
But there is a catch: the photograph was staged! And we know that not
on the basis of the weaker evidence that there are too many leaves on the
trees and no frost for this to be a 28 degree day in December but because
Shannon Hicks took a second photograph!
Rearranging the kids to get a better shot
It’s bad enough that we have a series of parents looking on, some with
their arms cross or their hands in their pockets — which is certainly not what
we would expect in an emergency situation. It gets much worse when you
realize that the police woman has stopped the children to rearrange them to
get “a better shot”! Here’s a comparison that shows what was going on and
demonstrates — as conclusively as anyone could have the right to expect —
that the first photograph was staged to create the false impression that there
10
Thinking about Sandy Hook: Reality or Illusion?
was an emergency and that these kids needed to be removed from a threat at
the earliest possible opportunity — which would not leave time to stop and
rearrange them as follows:
We not only know that Shannon Hicks was “in on the game” by taking
these photos (as early as in October) in preparation for this elaborate charade
but we also know that there was no evacuation. The claim is sometimes
made that “You can’t prove a negative!” But that turns out to be false. When
evidence that ought to be present if an hypothesis were true is not present,
then the absence of evidence qualifies as evidence of absence. Suppose you
were told there is an elephant in your living room. If you go there and find
no indications of the presence of an elephant, you are completely justified
in inferring that there is no elephant in your living room.
If the 469 kids who should have been there, had this this event been real,
were not there, you are completely justified in inferring that it was not real.
11
Jim Fetzer
An evacuation would
have looked something
like this, with strings
of children led by
other police officers
or teachers performing
their duty under stress.
But we have
DashCam footage at the
locations in the parking
lot where, according to
5ancy Hook Kmx Mau Evocufton (UooewdfH«C»iv«r)i
DASHCAM1 DASHCAM2 DASHCAM3
002*MMI
official police records, the evacuation was taking place — and there is nothing
there! Just as the absence of signs of the presence of an elephant in your
living room is proof of the absence of an elephant, the absence of signs of
the presence of children undergoing evacuation is proof that no evacuation
was taking place.
More parking lot anomalies — and a stunner!
Inspection of the vehicles in the parking lot in front of the school shows
that they are parked in the wrong direction (which should have been nose-
in), given the arrangement for driving into the lot. The image itself suggests
of a group of drivers methodically filling up the lot with used or abandoned
12
Thinking about Sandy Hook: Reality or Illusion?
cars, driving straight into the designated parking places without regard for
how they should have been arranged.
Once again we ask, "What is the probability that the lot would be filled
with cars parked in the wrong direction, if this had been a real event? What
if this had been a drill? ” Truly stunning, however, is the discovery of a
series of photographs that display setting the stage early in the morning for
the events that would transpire this day, including this one from Chapter 8:
Notice that the windows of Classroom 10 are not shot out and the flag is
up. Wayne Carver can be seen behind the man in the blue evidence suit. This
photograph is taken from one of the elevated cameras we have discovered that
were mounted around the parking lot to record the drill. The mortuary tent is
not there yet, which makes this early morning. Could we have more decisive
proof? When an hypothesis has been confirmed by abundant evidence and
no alternative explanation is reasonable, it has been established “beyond a
reasonable doubt”.
Hypothesis (hi), that Sandy Hook was real, has been falsified and (h2),
that this was an elaborate hoax, has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt.
Benefits to the participants
The benefits to those who participated in the Sandy Hook hoax have been
substantial. The donation sites created by “families of the victims” have hauled
in over $27,000,000 or in excess of $1,000,000 per family. Other substantial
grants have been given to alleviate the pain and suffering of those who
13
Jim Fetzer
responded to the event. On Friday, 12 December 20 14, for example, Senators
Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Representative
Elizabeth Esty (CT-5) announced a $775,914 grant from the Department of
Justice’s Office for Victims of Crimes and their families, firs responders and
members of Newtown community in the wake of the shooting to “help fund
continued mental health services and other support services”, which sounds
like a lot for participating in a charade.
Other pay-offs, bribes and hush-money — and under the circumstances,
is there anything more appropriate to call it ? — are documented in Chapter
5. When debate was taking place over the choice between refurbishing the
old school or constructing a new one, The Newtown Bee published about
the presence of asbestos, lead and PCBs in the building, which had no doubt
factored in the earlier decision to abandon the school in 2008. Newtown
received $50,000,000 to build a brand new K-4 elementary school. I
surveyed the cost of comparable cost for K-4 schools across the nation and
discovered they average $7,000,000, which reflects the generous benefits
that a community might accrue from cooperating covertly with the federal
government in the pursuit of its political agenda.
The gun control agenda
We are told that fewer guns means less crime. But when you look into
serious studies of crime rates in relation to gun laws, that is not what you

discover. Appendix D, for example, “Comparing Murder and Homicide Rates
before and after Gun Bans”, suggests something closer to the opposite is the
case, contrary to our president’s claims.
Barack Obama himself praised the sweeping gun confiscation that took
place in Australia in the late 1990s and said:
“Couple of decades ago, Australia had a mass shooting, similar to
Columbine or Newtown, ” Obama said. “And Australia just said, well,
that’s it, we’re not doing, we’re not seeing that again, and basically
imposed very severe, tough gun laws, and they haven ’t had a mass
shooting since. ”
And while they haven ’t seen a mass shooting since, local officials say
that gun violence on the continent is much worse than it was before the
tougher gun policies went into effect.
Meanwhile, the one thing that the President failed to recognize is that
gun crime in the U.S. is on the decline.
According to a PEW research study, gun crime is down 49% since 1993.
Another study by the Bureau of Justice Statistics showed that non-fatal
gun crime is actually down 70% since the same time.
Even the President s own study performed by the Center for Disease
Control reached a similar conclusion: “ Firearm-related death rates for
youth ages 15 to 19 declined from 1994 to 2009, ” the report states. “ The
number of public mass shootings of the type that occurred at Sandy Hook
Elementary School accounted for a very small fraction of all firearm-
related deaths. ”
15
Jim Fetzer
What these studies show is there s a clear agenda being carried out by
the Mainstream Media to make it seem like mass shootings are the norm.
As soon as a mass shooting happens, it reverberates through all the major
news networks for weeks, much like an echo after the initial shot.
Because of this, much of the nation seems to believe that gun violence,
particularly school shootings, is on the rise even with evidence that points
to the contrary.
The reasons behind this aggressive behavior by the administration,
even when gun violence has been falling in the United States, involves deep
questions about the role of DHS in our society and why America has been
devolving into a totalitarian state. I was born a year-and-a-day before Pearl
Harbor, as my father used to put it; and I would never have imagined in
my wildest dreams that the United States of American could descent into a
bottomless pit of lies, deceit and deception.
Faking a school shooting to instill fear into a population for political
purposes is an act of terrorism, where it has become clear that this instance
was brought to us by officials at every level of Connecticut government from
the teachers and reporters to the State Police and the Newtown School board
to the Governor and the Attorney General and the President himself. And this
is the ugly legacy of Barack Hussein Obama.
