Two University Professors’ Wild Sandy Hook Conspiracy Theories

Credit: AP
Israel’s Mossad death squads are likely responsible for the tragic massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. last month, according to a professor emeritus at the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD).
Dr. James H. Fetzer, in an op-ed published in an official Iranian state news outlet late last month, wrote that members of Israel’s security force known as the Mossad had carried out the shooting to “strike fear in the hearts of Americans.”
“The killing of children is a signature of terror ops conducted by agents of Israel,” he wrote. “[W]ho better to slaughter American children than Israelis, who deliberately murder Palestinian children?”
The Leadership Institute’s Campus Reform has more:
Fetzer, who recently retired but still maintains a website, email, and an honorary title with the university, went on to claim the massacre was part of a greater U.S. Government plot to wage violent war against Americans.
“When [the Department of Homeland Security] DHS is gearing up to conduct a massive civil war against the American people, what better excuse could there be for banning assault weapons than the massacre of 20 innocent children at Sandy Hook Elementary School?” he wondered.
The article appeared on Press TV’s website. The news organization is funded by Iran’s state run media empire, Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a vocal proponent of the news agency. When Press TV launched in 2007, he reportedly told staff that “broadcasting the truth immediately, providing precise analysis and exposing the plots of propaganda networks of the enemy is among your duties.”
Fetzer is reportedly a regular contributor to Press TV. He previously called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the “Chicken Little of the Middle East” in a column last year.
The University of Minnesota Duluth did not respond to inquiries made by Campus Reform.
Another current professor at Florida Atlantic University (FAU), James Tracy, alleges a massive conspiracy involving law enforcement, the federal government and the mass media. In fact, he isn’t entirely convinced that the massacre that claimed the lives of 20 children and six adults even occurred at all. In radio interviews, Tracy mentions “crisis actors” that may have been deployed by the Obama administration to stage the attack in order to further gun control measures.
He cites Infowars.com, obviously, to add credibility to his claim. From his personal blog:
Several independent researchers and most recently Infowars.com reporter Rob Dew have over the past few days pointed to evidence strongly suggesting how two additional Sandy Hook shooting suspects were apprehended by police in the minutes following 9:35AM when officers were dispatched to the elementary school.[2]
[...]
Journalists capable of exercising a modest degree of autonomy and personal insight would have clearly recognized such leads, thereby extending them to a more rigorous examination of law enforcement spokespersons and the broader Newtown community. Instead, the news media once again wholly abdicated any such responsibility to serve the public by unquestioningly parroting official pronouncements and carefully instructing their audiences on exactly how to interpret the event.
In a later interview, Tracy clarified his allegations, saying “One is left with the impression that a real tragedy took place.” However, he added, no one has seen pictures of the bodies and other information has been kept from the public.
“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,” he said.
“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,” the Sun-Sentinel reports.
FAU released the following statement regarding Tracy’s rantings:
“James Tracy does not speak for the university,” Lisa Metcalf, FAU’s director of media relations, told FoxNews.com in an email. “The website on which his post appeared is not affiliated with FAU in any way. As for any previous disciplinary actions at FAU, we do not comment on personnel matters.”

Posted on January 17, 2013 at 10:46amOh, my, this is just so sick. I’m sitting here in Israel, and the people who consider children prime military targets, who murdered little baby “settler” Shalhevet Pass in her stoller sitting in a playground, who shot a rocket at a school bus from Gaza, who attacked a party of 12-year-old girls – these are FACTS – they are accusing US, who avoid killing terrormasters because there’s a civilian in the area?
The people of Yassir Arafat, who ordered the murder of two American officials, are accusing us, who give the US intelligence and our vote in the UN and are in love with America?

Posted on January 10, 2013 at 3:03amIt pains me to even consider some sort of conspiracy causing Sandy Hook other than this Administration and the Left jumping all over it to further their Holy Grail of gun control. But then again I wouldn’t put anything out of the realm of posibilities when it comes to the Progressives desire to rule.

How much easier could it be.

Posted on January 9, 2013 at 10:55amFor more, see “Sandy Hook: Huge Hoax and Anti-Gun ‘Psy Op’”, Veterans Today. Meanwhile, here are some key points:
The public is unaware that the Department of Homeland Security has acquired 1.5 billion rounds of .40 caliber, hollow-point ammunition, which is not even permissible in warfare under the Geneva Conventions.
The public is unaware that a Senate Subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security has issued a report (3 October 2012) based upon its review of 680 “fusion center” reports (from 2009-2001).
The sub-committee found not a single indication of any domestic terrorist threat–not one!
This information–as well as the existence of more than 300 FEMA camps and special boxcars to carry dissidents to them–has been deliberately withheld from the American people (“From America to Amerika: The End Game”, Veterans Today, 11 December 2011).
Homeland Security has no foreign commitments. If the public were aware of the facts, it would become obvious that those camps and ammunition are meant to be used against us. For whom else could it be intended?
Homeland Security is gearing up to conduct a massive civil war against the American people but 80,000,000 armed American families stand in its way.
What better excuse could there be for banning assault weapons than the massacre of 20 innocent children at Sandy Hook? Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA), has introduced a bill that would lead to the confiscation of virtually every semi-aut

Posted on January 9, 2013 at 4:58pmThe problem they will run into right off the bat is, I am willing to die on my feet, rather than live on my knees !
So….unless King Husein can raise an army of goons who are willing to die in the process of disarming me and others like me, they had better think twice before heading down this path.

Posted on January 9, 2013 at 10:39amI can’t imagine Israel had anything to do with it.. Not that I think Israel is some great, clean and innocent country, but I don’t see what they would gain by this… Even if they didn’t like something we did, we are STILL the closest thing to an ally they have, and I can’t imagine them being foolish enough to risk screwing that up…
The theory of it being a government organized disaster, I COULD completely believe.. We all know that Obama and the Demoncrats want nothing more than to ensure we cannot defend ourselves or revolt when they decide to go for their final power grab by finishing up the enslavement of the American people…
There are alot of odd coincidences that are tying together ALL of the gun related events that have happened since Obama took the throne in 2008… And with his known ties to terrorists (domestic like Ayers, or Foreign like Hamas and the M.B.) I would NOT be surprised by that.
I can’t say I “believe” it, but I can’t deny it is a possibility. After all, My Boss and I personally knew a man that was murdered by our own government, when he ratted out the CIA as drug dealers back in the 80′s… He was found dead of a shotgun wound to the head in his home… He was not wearing gloves, but the gun had NO fingerprints on it, and my boss had talked to him earlier that night, and he said he was in a great mood, but mentioned a car that followed him into his neighborhood (20 Mi, from his work)…. Dead a few hours later.. Hmm….

No, we all don’t know this. A few insane conspiracy nuts believe this insanity, but not a single person knows this.
You’re just pissed becasue We The People had the nerve to elect a black man President. Twice.

Posted on January 9, 2013 at 5:05pmTimarina…..King Husein is not a “black man”. He is a mulatto. Furthermore, he was not elected, he was selected and placed into power by a communist cabal of usurpers. It might interest you to know, Condaleeza Rice was the first black president, technically speaking. Look it up !

Posted on January 9, 2013 at 10:07amThe Connecticut shooting was a farce. Anyone that says otherwise is a PAID government BOT sent to distract us. Either that or you simply have too much faith in our crooked government or you haven’t spent more than 5 minutes looking into the details. The whole thing stinks like government. The fact that sandy hook appears in the dark night is no coincidence. Every single minute detail in a movie is put there intentionally.. before the movie was released they sent out promo gear for the fans which included a map. The map in the fan pack said Hinkley and in the movie it said SANDY HOOK. I saw it and this isn’t the first time these rat bastards have done this either. Look up 9/11 references in movies BEFORE it happened. We, the people are waking up. We, the people will revolt. Patriots! Stand tall!

Posted on January 9, 2013 at 9:51amActually the shooters at all massacres are alien agents that are in the process of disarming us until they can take over with ease. Or perhaps it is the manufacturers of Prosac that are trying out new psychotropic drugs. Please people violent insane acts have been going on since the beggining of mankind, There have always been crazy people and there always will be. Coming up with paranoid Alex Jones bull crap to explain this violence is as nuts as he is.

Posted on January 9, 2013 at 9:50amAlex Jones is a wacko. Do you see how he is holding the automatic with his finger on the trigger? You NEVER have you finger on the trigger unless you are prepared to shoot. As for college professors and reality on any subject; drop the idea. These profs are pampered and spoiled leftist with little rational thought. Why? They do not require rational thought in their leftist protected cocoons.

Posted on January 9, 2013 at 9:16amAs much as I would like to link obama to Sandy Hook and Arura I seriously doubt he’s behiend it. However , you will notice that mass shooting only take place when a democrat president is in trouble . Remember Ruby Ridge and Waco ? Thats Clintons shoot outs. obama has Arura and Newtown. Both wanted to ban guns . Lets not forget Clinton had the OKC bombing too. Janet Reno took the heat but it’s still Clintons legacy.

Posted on January 9, 2013 at 10:12amAmen brother. Let’s not forget that Osama was “killed’ when Obama’s approval ratings were slumping.. hmm. These globalists own the media and you can see how big of an influence this 4th branch of government can be. What happened with benghazi? Hilary had a blood clot, patreus was caught up in a sex scandal? Give me a break! These commie freaks are in full force and you can see by the comments today they have their government bots on damage control trying to influence the way we think or to change the subject. I know what’s going on and I think you do to.

Posted on January 9, 2013 at 8:54amWhen the authorities are not forthcoming with information and the media doesn’t investigate the “official storyline”, it opens up avenues of speculation. I don’t believe Mossad is behind the Sandy Hook incident, but clearly the public is being left in the dark concerning what actually happened and the media has no interest in getting at the truth. And if Glenn Beck practiced what he preached, he would question with boldness the official story line because so much of it doesn’t add up. For example, why was Emilie Parker sitting on President Obama’s lap 2 days after she was supposedly murdered? Here is a Facebook picture of the Parkers. Emilie is all the way on the right (notice the part in her **** and the dress she is wearing):
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=495784143778454&set=a.495784137111788.109539.495772320446303&type=1&theater
Now here is an ABC News picture of President Obama 2 days after the murders when he visited Newtown for the memorial service with Emilie Parker sitting on his lap:
http://abcnews.go.com/meta/search/imageDetail?format=plain&source=http://abcnews.go.com/images/US/ht_barack_obama_ss_w_newtown_jp_121217
Perhaps that explains why Emilie Parker isn’t in any Sandy Hook class photos and why Robbie Parker was laughing and grinning on his way to the podium to speak about his daughters supposed death. So c’mon Glenn, c’mon national media, someone pick up the ball and pursue the truth! Or has the media been intimidated in
