Florida Atlantic University Professor Wonders if the Sandy Hook Shooting Isn’t Just One Big Mass Med

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Rhiannon12866 (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

His blog posts are, as you would expect, incredibly long and nearly impossible to get through. But in an interview on Monday, he was a bit more direct about what he believes happened at Sandy Hook.

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?

"Something most likely took place," he said. "One is left with the impression that a real tragedy took place."

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."

Tracy said also has doubts about the official version of the Kennedy assassination, the Oklahoma City bombing, the 9-11 terror attacks and the Aurora, Colo., theater murders.

True, I didn't open the boxes and examine the bodies, but then I also didn't personally inspect the dust from Neil Armstrong's lunar boots either. Some things have to be taken at faith.

I'll bet there's a conspiracy theory that someone's making up mass conspiracy theories.

Call Jesse!

We have propagandists and we have shit stirrers galore

News media, not so much.

Then again, news reporting is not as easy as repeating what some dumbass says and pretending that's somehow newsworthy.

Backdoor way of posting right wing crazy crap

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Jan 9, 2013, 06:31 AM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Front door way of saying leave it alone..
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I didn't think I'd ever find anything funny about Sandy Hook. The way gov't bureaucracies control and parcel-out info make it inevitable that crazy ideas are going to fester in the minds of some...well... crazies. Tough call. Leave it alone. It's better that this was aired than if it were "covered-up".
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: It's presented as crazy crap - what's wrong with discussing this idiot?
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The alerter should read the whole post before reacting. Leave it.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future
