Sandy Hook, Part 8:  Housekeeping

by Mary W Maxwell, LLB

In this series of articles about the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre, I am trying to think of new ways to approach any issue in which citizen researchers aver that the government and media are lying. Where can one position herself to analyze it all? Are there any toe-holds?

I have called this article “housekeeping.”  Let me claim upfront that the plan for today, here, is a simple one — to collect and display bits and pieces of research that have been floating around.  Apparently, many investigators have concluded that the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax — it did not happen.

Below, I’ll proceed to convey, to those who have hardly read about the Sandy Hook tragedy, the typical content of blogs and video that dispute the official facts. I will not be evaluating any of them. Indeed, I shy away from them, preferring to use my own method, which has more to do with “Who is following the law and who is breaking it?” (See the next two parts of this series.)

Please don’t think I reject out of hand the diligent work of other writers — I welcome them. But I have trouble knowing which ones can be confidently relied on.

As an example, I have just read, in a book entitled Monumental Myths, by Ty Bollinger, that four days before the massacre (12-10-2012), someone created a Facebook page for Virginia Soto that said “R.I.P. Victoria Soto.” Bollinger writes: “An alert citizen manages to capture the page before it was removed.” He does not give us a photo of it, but even if he did, who am I to be able to judge that it is dinki di, as we say in Australia. I can’t distinguish a “doctored” item from an original.

Another example: it was said that the car that Adam Lanza drove to the scene of the crime belongs to Chris Rodia, and has the license number 872-YEO. Well, that sounds more “official” than something about an erased Facebook page, but it would be of use only to a registered investigator.  If Little Old Me walked into the Motor Vehicle Office and asked in whose name was the number 872-YEO held, the secretary would most likely show me to the door.

One more. Say that a major network broadcasts an interview of a 19-year-old girl giving her recollections of dating Adam Lanza two years prior to the event.  She says he was a nutjob. Are we to take that in as evidence about Adam and his mental problems, or are we to see it is media propaganda, in which an actress posing as Adam’s date has never in fact met him?

Enough said. But many researchers have worked hard on some specialized piece of the puzzle.    Here’s a quick round-up:

Categorizing Thirteen Concerns about Sandy Hook

1. The Real Estate Issue

Several of the parents of the 20 deceased children were given a free house in 2009. That is according to public records in the land title office, where the sale price is shown as $.00. Furthermore, the date of “purchase” for most of these homes was December 25. Who transacts that kind of business on Christmas Day?

2. The SSDI Missing Names

The Social Security Death Index does not list the children’s deaths.  For Adam Lanza, it shows his death as December 13, one day too early, but it was later changed to December 14. Moreover, there is a Federal Master List and the kids’ births and deaths do not appear on it.

3. The Visit to Gene Rosen’s House

Gene Rosen, an older man whose house is close to the school, said that 6 children showed up in his front yard at 10:30am. He fed them juice and gave them teddy bears to play with.  The police footage however shows Gene at the Fire Station at 10.30am.  Also, he changed his story, having earlier said that a female bus driver brought the 6 kids to his home.

4. The Replacement of the School

The government provided $50 million to rebuild the school, at least three times the standard amount. Also, when the old building was being razed, the demolition men were required to sign a gag order as to what they saw. The debris was not simply carted away; it was first pulverized.

5. The Types of Guns Used

During the crisis, media and police reported that the deaths were caused by two handguns, a Sig Sauer and a Glock. A helicopter shot shows someone putting a rifle in the boot of the car. By the end of the day, it was being claimed that the gunfire all came from a Bushmaster rifle. The noise of that weapon would have been extremely loud and at close range the victims would have been blown up.

REMINDER: Dear Reader, this parade of issues reflects what’s out there in the literature. I do not endorse the accuracy any of it. Nor do I criticize it. I am but a scribe today.

6. The Choir at the Superbowl

Sandy Hook Elementary School had a choir. The choristers were invited to sing at the February 2013 Superbowl game. This was only two months after a tragic event. Several of the singers look like the kids who died. (The explanation proffered is that they were 11 years old in 2013, nobody died, and their old first-grade pictures were used as fakes, or something.)

7. The Real Adam Lanza

It is hard to know who the real Adam Lanza was. He has zero footprint on social media! A brother named Ryan does not have Internet presence either. Adam lived with his mother Nancy Lanza, although one neighbor said Adam was never seen, and Nicole Hochley referred to Nancy’s house as a “dark spot” on her street. The only statement of Adam’s hobby as a gunman came from his father, Peter Lanza. Guns galore, and swords, were found in the house.

8. Drills Here and at Other Schools

An exercise for a mass attack was happening nearby in Newton on the same day, December 14th, at St Rose of Lima School.  Also a Newtown drill had been conducted in November. FEMA printed a manual to cover a dry-run drill on December 13, at Sandy Hook Elementary School, and it was to be completed “live” on the 14th (not live as in real killings, just a live drill.)

9. Port-a-potties and the Sign

As might occur in a drill, there were 4 porta-potties outside the Sandy Hook School. There was also a large electronic sign “Everyone must check in.”  The Department of Homeland Security, in response to a Freedom of Information request, said that it had placed the sign there.

10. The School Having Been Abandoned

There is evidence that the campus had not been in use either for months or years. It was grimy and moldy and contained massive amounts of boxes as though it had become a storage unit.  It did not meet the requirements of cleanliness or safety for a school. No milk had been delivered to the school for months.

Reminder again. Please do not go away saying Mary Maxwell claims the school had been abandoned. (Wolfgang Halbig claims it, bigtime.)

11. Gun Control as a Motive for a Staged Massacre

President Obama used the event to emphasize the need for gun control. Harry Reid proposed legislation in the Senate. The mothers of the victims became activist quite early, both for school safety in general and for gun control.  This is seen in their group “Sandy Hook Promise.”

12. The Parking Lot

Various photos and videos were broadcast by the Mainstream media. They do not all accord as to the parking lot — where the white line was, which way the parked cars were facing, whether there was frost on the ground, or leaves on the trees. In sum, the photos can’t all have been taken on the same day.

13. The Glass Door

Reportedly, school policy calls for external doors to be locked.  Entrance is achieved by ringing a bell and identifying oneself. Adam Lanza is said to have shot his way in, by using the gun to breach the front door.  But the glass in the door was reinforced with wire and would have resisted shattering.  Also the police, who arrived once Adam was already in the building, claim to have also needed to break down the door.

The Book Edited by James Fetzer and Michael Palecek

Sorry for repeating (ad nauseum?) that the above is a housekeeping exercise. I do not want to claim that it proves anything.  The several interviews with bereaved parents, that were shown on mainstream television, argue for the genuineness of the tragedy.

If you wish to look deeper into the particulars of what I sketched above, there is one-stop shopping in a book edited by James Fetzer and Michael Palecek. The title is:  “Nobody Died at Sandy Hook: It Was a FEMA Drill in Support of Gun Control.”  Various authors contributed specialized chapters, to preach their particular views about Sandy Hook. Cumulatively, it adds up to a strong case that the state of Connecticut distributed misinformation. Here are some of the authors and their topics:

Nick Kollerstrom looks into the real estate question (number 1 above).

James Tracy, PhD, pulls apart some things that were said at a press conference by Medical Examiner Wayne Carver, MD.

Dr Eowyn (a pseudonym) offers “6 signs the school was closed” (number 10 above).

Dennis Cimino compares the event to the one in a theatre in Aurora Colorado.

Professor Fetzer and Dr Eowyn delve into the FBI’s statistics of “no murders took place in Newton Connecticut in 2012.”

Allan Powell, with Kelly Watt, offers many photos of the (scrumptious) home of Nancy Lanza, arguing that its room furnishings were created to match the story.

Vivian Lee, PhD argues that Adam Lanza could not have done the shooting.

Fetzer holds forth on “I never promised you a Rosen garden” (number 3 above).

There is an unexpected interview with a man, Paul Preston, whose legitimate job consisted of organizing mass casualty drills. The interviewer is Sofia Smallstorm (number 8 above).

The book ends with James Tracy’s lengthy Timeline of Sandy Hook, which can be seen at his www.memoryholeblog.org (He wrote a similar one about the Boston Marathon bombing.)

In the Appendix there’s an October surprise — a copy of the FEMA manual for a drill to be held on December 13 and 14, 2012 at Sandy Hook school. Quite the definitive proof, if it be dinki di.

I will write to FEMA and ask them, but let’s not be holding our breath, OK?

Update — Steele’s Book

Gosh. I have just discovered the pdf pf a 128-page book by Robert David Steele, who recently died.  We already knew him at Gumshoe, thanks to his taking testimony from Rachel Vaughan and Fiona Barnett at the International Tribunal for Natural Justice. I also encountered him recently as the source for much of the material in Joachim Hagopian’s 5 volume, Satan and Pedophilia — a stunning book. 

Steele’s book (only a PDF) is called Sandy Hook Truth: Memo to Potus. I will find a way to transmit it to you. It includes some of what I mentioned above and additional pieces that argue strongly for there not having been any operative school at the site in December 2012.  This means a huge number of locals are being forced to stay silent about something you would hardly believe folks could be kept silent about.

For now, here is President Obama’s tearful speech on December 14, 2012.
