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

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

A communication professor known for conspiracy theories has stirred controversary at Florida Atlantic University with claims that last month's Newtown, Conn., school shootings did not happen as reported — or may not have happened at all.

Moreover, James Tracy asserts in radio interviews and on his memoryholeblog.com. that trained "crisis actors" may have been employed by the Obama administration in an effort to shape public opinion in favor of the event's true purpose: gun control.

"As documents relating to the Sandy Hook shooting continue to be assessed and interpreted by independent researchers, there is a growing awareness that the media coverage of the massacre of 26 children and adults was intended primarily for public consumption to further larger political ends," writes Tracy, a tenured associate professor of media history at FAU and a former union leader.

In another post, he says, "While it sounds like an outrageous claim, one is left to inquire whether the Sandy Hook shooting ever took place — at least in the way law enforcement authorities and the nation's news media have described."

........................

Tracy cites several sources for his skepticism, including lack of surveillance video or still images from the scene, the halting performance of the medical examiner at a news conference, timeline confusion, and how the accused shooter was able to fire so many shots in just minutes.

Tracy said he believes the deaths at Sandy Hook may have resulted from a training exercise. "Was this to a certain degree constructed?" he said. "Was this a drill?

..........................

But, he added, he has not seen bodies, or photos of bodies. "Overall, I'm saying the public needs more information to assess what took place. We don't have that. And when the media and the public don't have that, various sorts of ideas can arise."

>> “Public servants do not all of a sudden rise to the level required to sustain such a conspiracy. Not in the numbers required anyway.” <<

.
You obviously do not work with governmental offices on a regular basis, or you would know that your statement is total balderdash.

“Public Servants” disappeared decades ago.

Now all Police Chiefs are chosen by the ‘New Left’ clique, and all local ‘planners’ must belong to the APA, which is an arm of the UN.

State constitutions, statutes, and local ordinances are completely disregarded on a minute by minute basis.

My first impression was that this guy is a nutcase, but when you actually read his comments and questions, he is like a voice in the wilderness who, at the very least, asks critical questions that need answers.

From the linked article: Tracy said he believes the deaths at Sandy Hook may have resulted from a training exercise. “Was this to a certain degree constructed?” he said. “Was this a drill?

I think your first impression was spot on. Not sure why you are reconsidering that position after reading this article.

A thought and a question.

This guy’s dad, and the dad of one of the other mass shooters, were both set to testify in the (enormous, but almost unhard of) LIBOR scandal.

Can anyone post the link to a thread here - from yesterday I think it was, but I can’t find it - where a policemen had come forward with some very disturbing info about things he witnessed in this shooting?

Would somebody who lives in this area please go up there and take some pictures.

On the video [post #3] we have the school nurse who hid in a closet for 4 hours saying that she came face to face with the killer, but instead of shooting her he just turned around and left. WTH??? Everyone else who saw him are dead, but they come face to face and he lets her live??? Then she hides in a closet for 4 hours?? And the interviewer doesn’t ask for a description of him from her and she doesn’t offer it???

Furthermore this shooting per the police was over in 3-5 minutes from first shot to last. Now we find out that part of that short time span was spent with him going into the school office and having and eye to eye encounter with the school nurse??? and he still had time to go back down to the classrooms and fire off 150 rounds????.

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

Much talk about “assault weapons” that never entered the school grounds, and no explanation of how the supposed assassin was able to get past the metal detectors that are known to exist at that school.

I may have missed it, but this is the first place that I have read that Sandy Hook Elementary School had metal detectors. Do you have a source for that information? Everything I have read says that the doors are locked and visitors have to be buzzed into the school, but that the killer shot out the glass to get in.

“Questions about Newtown, or the Kennedy assassination, get answered with, what else, but another conspiracy; more shadowy actors conspiring to keep everyone else in the dark.”
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Someone once told me regarding JFK that if there had been a conspiracy that someone would have come forward, it could not have been kept secret. Well, the truth is that MANY people have “come forward” claiming to know something but people like the man I was listening to have disregarded everything those people “came forward” with. Whether their stories are true or false it is absurd to say that no one has “come forward” regarding the JFK assassination and some of the “debunkers” seem to have stories that sound more absurd than any of the conspiracy theories.

Personally I consider the whole thing to be undecided, I do not accept the warren commission report at face value. I believe that at one point the house committee on assassinations even said that there was at least one other shooter at Dallas but the same people who support the Warren commission totally discount the house committee.

What it comes down to is that history teaches that anyone who trusts his government in sooner or later proven to be misguided. That is beside the point of this one issue but I do advise keeping a healthy skepticism concerning any kind of official government report.

“Communications Professor”

“Tenure”

With respect to the first - I object to someone with a marshmallow degree possessing the diminuitive intellect of an Obamadork being called a professor.

With respect to the second, the fact that this idiot is tenured says just about all we need to know about the intellectual standards demanded of the Florida Atlantic University faculty.

Although, the grand prize in lack of standards has to go to Colorado University for the tenure, and department head status given to that fake Indian dork, Ward Churchill.

Public servants do not all of a sudden rise to the level required to sustain such a conspiracy.

Look at the video at #3.

It takes a lot of practice to get your part right for any performance.

>> “I don’t think it happen,myself.” <<

.
Something happened, but it clearly was not what the MSM are telling us now.

It seems very likely that this was a ‘planned’ event of some kind; an exercise, as the bluesuits are prone to call them, and the “shooter” who had been at the school the day before, was apparently ‘expected’ on the day it happened.

Sandy Hook stinks to high heaven. We’re being played.


I have not had TV in my home for 16 years now. I get virtually all my news from the internet, though I am exposed to TV news from time to time.

This thing started stinking to me on day two. What happened to the accomplice that they cornered in the woods? Stuff like that.

Because he also asks good questions. He may in fact be a nutcase, but I’d want him to explain his “training exercise” comment before I “officially” brand him as such. Part of the reason is that we are getting this info second hand, just as we got the Sandy Hook story.

I just found it strange that Soto’s cousin, who is a police officer, within hours of the shooting is telling the world what a hero she was for what she did — all during the time when no one knew what went on in the school.

Well, I’ll say this, Uncle Chip.

That same people telling us whatever few details we actually know about Sandy Hook are the same people telling us that we are going to drown from Glowbull Warming.

They are the same people who tell us that the only remedy to anything that ails us, real or imagined, is to sacrifice our freedom.

They are the same people who tell us Obama is a genius and that his wife is beautiful.

Is there anything at all in America 2013 that is true?

In lies we trust.

Color me suspicious.
