Was Sandy Hook a Staged Event?

IF SO, WHY?

by Sharon Rondeau

(Jan. 9, 2013) — Various citizen-produced videos and written reports are stating that the Sandy Hook shootings were announced days before the reported event by fundraising pages dated as early as November 8.

A Sandy Hook fundraiser sponsored by the United Way of Southwestern Connecticut shows a December 11, 2012 date on a Google search page.  Whether or not someone could have backdated the page after the fact is an open question.

On December 15, the parent of an alleged child victim spoke to the press and extended sympathies to the shooter and his family.  Robbie Parker appears at the beginning of the video smiling and laughing before approaching the microphone.  The family was reportedly from Utah, and Emilie, who was allegedly killed, had attended kindergarten in Rio Rancho.  A news report stated that grief counselors were provided to the children at Emilie’s former school.

Katie Couric conducted multiple interviews with parents whose children reportedly died in the massacre just days before.  Underneath a video which did not appear to be functional dated December 19, 2012, the following text appears:

On Katie Couric’s syndicated Katie program, the parents of 6 year-old Daniel Barden, one of the 20 children tragically killed last Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary School, told Couric that their time spent with President Obama at Sunday’s prayer vigil was “a little less fruitful than we were hoping.”

Daniel’s father, John Barden, said that Daniel’s 12 year-old brother James, and 10 year-old sister Natalie, had some things to tell the President that they didn’t get to, and since they’re unlikely to get a seat at the table with legislators and lobbyists, the President should listen to them here.

At a press conference Wednesday afternoon, President Obama announced a working group, to be led by Vice President Joe Biden, that will produce recommendations as to what can be done to prevent future tragedies, and laid down the same markers that political and media types have been urging as a starting point: banning the sale of military-style assault weapons, banning the sale of high-capacity ammunition clips, and requiring background checks before all gun purchases. While this is a sea change from our pre-Connecticut conversation on gun control, it is miles away from where Daniel’s sister, Natalie Barden, thinks it should start.

“My daughter, Natalie, was interested in asking him if he could pass some legislation so that the only people that had guns were military personnel and law enforcement,” Mr. Barden told Katie Couric, “And if people needed guns for sport, they could go to a range, and the guns would have to stay there. That was my 10-year-old daughter. That was all her own original thought.”

Twelve year-old James Barden, who asked that he be allowed to speak with Katie about his brother, said he wanted to ask the President “what he was going to do to make sure this never happens again. Because it should never happen again, no one should ever have to go through this.”

Mr. Barden added that he and his wife are “still not even really fully aware, or really haven’t processed or absorbed or digested the fact that our sweet little Daniel is not here with us any more. That’s all we’re trying to deal with at this moment.”

Couric is featured on “The Democratic Hub,” an “Advanced Liberal Political Community,” as an “independent TV host.”  Couric hosts her own show entitled “Katie” produced by abcmedia.net, which is owned by the Disney Television Group.

“Independent journalists” are expected to present unbiased reports on government activity and violations of the law.

During a eulogy for her six-year-old son Noah, Veronique Pozner appeared calm and elicited laughter from the attendees at the funeral.

Immediately after the event, children were put on camera to relate what they saw, which is not always consistent with the story line which has emerged since that time.

An MSNBC report which mistakenly called the location of the event “Newton,” as many did, featured Dr. H. Wayne Carver II, Chief Medical Examiner for the State of Connecticut, joking and smiling during a press conference about the investigation of the deaths of children.  Immediately following the incident, a reported “tearful” Obama made a statement, erroneously stating the location as “Newton” and calling for “meaningful action…regardless of the politics.”

Obama then visited with victims’ families two days later, on December 16, where he reportedly waxed religious.  Photos of parents with surviving children are shown with smiles and tweets of the “pride” the daughter of slain principal Dawn Hochsprung was that Obama held her baby.  The Newtown Bee originally reported that Hochsprung had spoken to the press following the shooting and later apologized for its apparent error.  Hochsprung had initiated a new security plan for the school in September.

Obama had also visited Aurora, CO following a theater shooting there.  Connections have been reported between the two events.

When Connecticut State Police spokesman J. Paul Vance was asked if the perpetrator’s mother “had any connection to the school,” Vance changed the subject and did not respond to the question.  Vance was quoted in print and depicted in video footage as having stated that those posting “any information intended to mislead investigators in this case will, in fact, be completely and thoroughly investigated, and if appropriate, prosecuted, if anyone attempts to threaten or mislead this investigation.”  He then said that there are two “active criminal investigations” under way which he labeled “ancillary criminal cases.”

A neighbor to the school who reportedly took in six children who escaped after the rampage stated that he saw the victim list at 6:00 p.m. on December 14.  However, the victim list was not released to the public until the following day, December 15.

A Florida university Associate Professor of Media Studies prepared a detailed timeline of the events of Sandy Hook and questions why “Connecticut and federal authorities…bottlenecked information while invoking prior restraint through threats of prosecutorial action against journalists and the broader citizenry seeking to interpret the event on social media.”  Tracy has been interviewed several times on radio about his theories and has opined that Carver displayed behavior which was “remarkably amateurish and out of character.”

Tracy has been excoriated by Newtown First Selectman Pat Llodra, who believes that his employer should fire him for expressing his views.  “Shame on you, too, FAU, to even have someone like this on your payroll,” Llodra addressed Florida State University.

A CBS news report still available, quoting The Hartford Courant, stated that there were two shooters and that one was “still at large.”  Vance said in a press conference that there was only one shooter, although an eyewitness reported that he saw a man who fled into the surrounding woods arrested, in handcuffs, and in the front seat of a police car.  A child from the school said that he saw “a man pinned down to the ground with handcuffs on” at the firehouse where the children and families were united, indicating that there might have been two or even three perpetrators.

Another child reported seeing two men running outside of the school before she was evacuated.

The narrative which has emerged from the incident has repeatedly stated that there was one perpetrator who committed suicide inside the school.  An early report said “officials” had stated that Adam Lanza had entered into “an altercation” the day prior to the murders which is now not discussed in the media.

Is the media dramatizing the shootings and pushing a gun-control agenda?

A video made by “Kelli in the Raw TV” appears to show that teacher Victoria Soto’s passing was posted on a Facebook page on December 10, 2012.  A citizen-produced video reports the same phenomenon and that the page has now been removed.

On November 7, 2012, one day after the election, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who has been aggressively pushing for an assault weapons ban since the Sandy Hook event, called for more gun control.  Obama has created a special task force and reportedly plans to “produce a comprehensive plan for addressing gun violence” by the end of January.  Left-leaning sites are reporting that Democrats in Congress intend to introduce a bill which would prohibit production of high-capacity magazines as a result of Sandy Hook.

On December 18, The Hartford Courant reported that a photo of one of the child victims was not available, but a photo was included in the article depicting her.  A Facebook post indicated that a photo of her child, who was alive and well and living in England, has been purported to be Allison Wyatt, whose photo was “missing.”

Where did the media obtain information attributed to “officials” which was later refuted?

On December 19, The Courant titled a story, “Obama Calls For New Proposals For Gun Control In Wake Of Newtown Massacre.”
