Tracy: In Solidarity with Alex Jones: US News Media Targeted Professor
for Questioning Sandy Hook While Failing To Do Theirs – Fake News Indeed
Mr. President,
I am a former Associate Professor of Journalism and Media Studies at
Florida Atlantic University (FAU). In early 2013, I became the target of
a smear campaign led by prominent news media after I questioned
coverage of the 14 December 2012 Sandy Hook massacre. The media called
on FAU to fire me because of my concerns. I therefore appreciate your
clear condemnation of the Mainstream Media (MSM) for “fake news” where
those posing as journalists spread falsehoods and propaganda.
As a student of news narratives for nearly two decades, I observed
several contradictions and anomalies in the media’s presentation of the
Sandy Hook event. Following the shooting, for example, emergency
response protocols were abandoned and first responders were refused
entry to school grounds. Authorities apprehended an alleged gunman but
placed him in the front seat of a police car.
On 15 December 2012, the Connecticut State Coroner responsible for
conducting the victims’ autopsies, H. Wayne Carver, M.D., joked and
snickered about the children’s horrendous demise on national television.
Astonishingly, he could not answer even the simplest forensic questions
about their deaths.
Some independent researchers have suggested “crisis actors” or “role
players” were posing in the event’s immediate aftermath as members of
the victims’ families. Although hundreds of families had been affected
by the school shooting—where 469 allegedly required evacuation,
according to the official report-—only a select few repeatedly appeared in video interviews.
When I found evidence that the Obama administration’s DHS had actually
contracted with acting troupes for emergency exercises, including one
called, “Crisis Actor”, my suspicions began to grow. The Newtown
incident had occurred just a month after the reelection of a president
who vowed to undermine the 2nd Amendment, whose administration carried
out Operation Fast and Furious and who, in advance of his second
inauguration, a month and two days later, signed 23 executive orders
implementing various forms of gun control.
I
discussed these observations and findings on my personal blog, asking
why the news media had failed to do a more thorough job of investigating
the school massacre. For these efforts, I was branded a “conspiracy
theorist” and proponent of a “crisis actors’ conspiracy theory” by major
media, including CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, and even Chronicle of Higher Education, which argued that I was “so cruel and possibly deranged” I had “no business being employed to teach undergraduate students.”
In December 2015, South Florida Sun-Sentinel published
an article that falsely accused me of criminally harassing a Sandy Hook
victim’s family. In fact, I had simply requested evidence from the
family’s non-profit organization to support a copyright infringement
claim lodged against my blog.
The innuendo that I “requested proof that the family’s son ever lived”
was echoed throughout the press with no effort to verify the facts of
the matter. FAU came under pressure to fire me, but because my teaching
and research had been consistently adjudged excellent by students and
peers alike, it devised a false pretext to terminate my tenured
position.
A wealth of new research has been produced confirming my initial
impression that the event was not authentic. At this point there are
scant grounds to doubt Sandy Hook was an elaborate mediated reality
created by news media and the Obama administration to terrorize American
families with fear for the safety of their children to promote its
preferred gun control agenda.
Very respectfully,
James Tracy

F. Tracy is a media scholar, educator and political analyst located in
South Florida. He received his doctoral degree from The University of
Iowa in 2002 and was a tenured Associate Professor of Journalism and
Media Studies at Florida Atlantic University from 2002 to 2016.
Beginning in 2013 Tracy became victim of a media-led smear campaign as
one of the few working academics to publicly question the Sandy Hook
Elementary School massacre and Boston Marathon bombings. In 2015 Florida
Atlantic succumbed to public pressure and terminated his professorship.
Tracy has filed a First Amendment lawsuit against FAU and its officials
that is now before the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
