The Sandy Hook Hoax “Smoking Gun”: Game, Set, Match!
by Jim Fetzer (with Dan Cady )
BREAKING NEWS! A photograph of the photographer taking the photograph proves that it was a drill.
During a debate about Sandy Hook with someone who refused to identify himself other than as “Count One”, I was repeatedly challenged to produce extraordinary evidence.
He repeated and repeated the refrain, “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof!” But the evidence I was producing, time after time, was extraordinary and met that standard.
The most extraordinary is that the “iconic” photograph taken by Shannon Hicks for which she was named “Photographer of the Year” was actually one in a series staged for the fake shooting!
This case abounds with extraordinary proof that has been published in “Top Ten Reasons: Sandy Hook was an elaborate Hoax”, “Sandy Hook Elementary School: Closed in 2008, a stage in 2012″ and “The Newtown School Board meeting and the meaning of silence”, including, for example:
* that the final report from Connecticut authorities does not included the names, the ages or the sex of the alleged victims of the shooting: THAT IS EXTRAORDINARY!
* that the Clerk of Newtown entered into secret negotiations with the state legislature to avoid releasing their death certifications: THAT IS EXTRAORDINARY!
* that the Connecticut State Attorney General opposed the release of the 911 calls and had to be denied withholding them by courts: THAT IS EXTRAORDINARY!
* that a special panel of the state legislature recommended state employees who released information about Sandy Hook be subject to an E-felony: THAT IS EXTRAORDINARY!
* that those who were involved in the demolition of the school building itself were required to sign life-time gag orders about anything they saw or did not see: THAT IS EXTRAORDINARY!
What good reason could there possibly be to withhold the names, ages and sex of the deceased from the final reports about this child massacre? The claim was made that it was to spare the feelings of their parents, but think about it: their parents already knew they were dead!
More “extraordinary proof”
Other examples are equally fascinating and constitute even more proof that meets that standard are to be found in “Wolfgang Halbig heads for Newtown and the truth about Sandy Hook”, “Sandy Hook Redux: Obama officials confirm that it was a drill and no children died” and “Wolfgang Halbig: 11,000 page Sandy Hook script/CT state police gave false affidavits”, which effortlessly satisfy the standard of “extraordinary proof for extraordinary claims”:
* the school had some 626 students, which means there should have been 600 evacuated from the school, but you can search in vain: they aren’t there: THAT IS EXTRAORDINARY!
* The Newtown Bee published an interview with the school principal, Dawn Hochsprung, during the shooting itself, but she was officially already dead: THAT IS EXTRAORDINARY!
* the FBI report on the shooting, which was commissioned by President Obama, has been massively redacted, rendering it virtually unintelligible: THAT IS EXTRAORDINARY!
* Paul Preston, a school safety expert, received confirmation from several contacts in the Department of Education that it had been a drill and no one had died: THAT IS EXTRAORDINARY!
* two CT State Troopers have confirmed to Wolfgang Halbig that 11,000 pages he has in hand was actually “the script” for the Sandy Hook event: THAT IS EXTRAORDINARY!
And, as Tony Mead has reported in “Sandy Hook’s Disappearing Witnesses”, a stunning number of key players in this case, including the Connecticut State Police Commander, the State Police Commissioner, the Western Connecticut State Police Commander and the State Medical Examiner, among others, have been taken out of play either by retirement or death. THAT IS EXTRAORDINARY! And there is much, much more!
The “most extraordinary proof”
In the face of abundant “extraordinary proof”, which I presented during our debate, Count One challenged its authenticity across the board. Since we have documented it from publicly available sources, it constitutes (what is known as) a prime facie case, which is entitled to be accepted as true absent any rebuttal, which Count One made no effort to provide. It was a debating stunt that no one should take seriously. It was a verbal charade.
Perhaps the most extraordinary proof, however, is the “iconic” photograph that was taken by Shannon Hicks, Associate Editor of The Newtown Bee, which Dennis Cimino and I have subjected to an extensive and detailed analysis. It is the only photo we have seen of any children being evacuated from the school:
Hicks reportedly took this photo “as an associate editor” and then, when another editor arrived, “changed into her firefighting gear and tried to help.” The account was promoted by NPR. Rather to our astonishment, Dan Cady,“The Sun and Sandy Hook”, had established the fact of the matter on 14 January 2013, more than a year-and-a-half prior to our efforts.
He has concluded that the Shannon Hicks’ photograph was taken at 9:45 AM on 12 November 2012, over a month before Sandy Hook. For the details of his calculation of the specific date and time, check out the article cited above. But shadow analysis is surprisingly complex and, given the distribution of the vehicles in the photo,I would not be surprised if it had been taken in much closer proximity to the event. The crucial finding instead is that he published this extraordinary photograph of the photographer taking the photograph:
There was no emergency in progress, the people behind Hicks are all clearly part of a DRILL by their body language, where the at line sequence in the first photo is without the girl in the front, meaning her claim that she just took that photo is absurd because they STAGED MANY SHOTS and THEN SELECTED THE ONE THEY THOUGHT WAS BEST after compelling one of the kids to make an odd face, where close examination of the kids suggests that they were no more threatened than they would be at McDonald’s waiting for a milkshake.
Dan Cady has conjectured that Shannon Hicks is taking the picture of the conga line and the parents. It is his guess that Lisa Terifay (near center, blue sweatshirt, clear line of sight to the kids, in front of Shannon) took the photo that got the most attention. A relative with a keen eye, however, has observed, on the basis of the location of the (driving direction) white arrow, that the “iconic” photo was taken later and from a different position, which reinforces the obvious: that it was a staged photo on behalf of a fake shooting.
This photograph not only proves that the “iconic” Shannon Hicks’ photograph was staged but that the entire episode–the alleged shooting at the school–about which so many have published so much was indeed an elaborately fabricated event in which no children died, which appears to have been done to promote the anti-gun agenda of the administration, which makes this a terrorist act.
This photo is “the smoking gun” that proves that Eric Holder and Barack Obama have in fact committed treason in that they have staged hoaxes for the purpose of DISARMING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE–and they do not have that right insofar as they both took an oath to UPHOLD AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION FROM ALL ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. Ironically, they have now solidly identified themselves as TROJAN HORSES inside the gates, betraying the Oath they both took but have blatantly violated.
As I have explained many places, including “Sandy Hook: My pick of the ‘top ten’ articles/videos/interviews”, which includes (now Attorney General) Eric Holder’s presentation to a Democratic Women’s National Conference in 1995 stating that the public needs to be “brainwashed” against guns. This event was fabricated to instill fear into the public to make it more amenable to political manipulation, which is the very definition of a “terrorist act”.
What does it mean?
The best question Count One raised during out debate was to ask why so many members of the community would participate in a staged event and cover it up? The answer, I believe, is that Connecticut is a strongly anti-gun state and that there are many do-gooders who believed that the country had to be “wakened up” about the dangers of having so many weapons available to the public. Since it would be a staged event and no one would actually die, it may have seen irresistible, especially when it received support from the Attorney General of the United States on behalf of the President himself.
Indeed, the chain of command appears to extent from the President to the Attorney General to the Connecticut State Police, the Newtown Police Department, the Newtown trustees and the Newtown School Board, are any of them vulnerable to prosecution? Dan Cady has identified E. Patricia Llodra, the Mayor of Newtown, and William Halstead, FEMA Incident Commander, as #1 and #2 on his list of responsible agents. But could they possibly be indicted, tried, convicted and sentenced to significant terms in prison?
Because the events that happened in Sandy Hook were not real but staged, the legal status of the situation is more complex than one might initially suppose. TV performance. Cady believes that a staged TV performance might actually be legal under Federal Law. “And if this is the case,” he remarks, then nothing illegal did happen, and people just believed what they saw on TV.” But millions of dollars have been contributed on behalf of the families of the alleged victims of Sandy Hook, which suggests that they may all be eligible for indictment under RICO statutes of the United States.
This nation has never seen anything like this before. As I have observed, it is bigger than Watergate! In ordinary times, under the rule of law, many of our highest federal officials, as well as those of Connecticut, would be subject to impeachment or prosecution for violation of the law. But we have long since become a nation under the rule of men, not of laws, and all bets are off. I have written to the NENPA to request that they investigate the authenticity of Shannon Hicks’ “iconic” photograph, but it remains to be seen if even this professional newspaper organization has the integrity to admit its mistake and rescind the honors it has bestowed upon an unworthy recipient.
