I haven't thought about this in a long time. I watch a lot of Viva/Barnes, and Robert Barns has always held there was a cover up at Sandy Hook, but it wasn't some staged event. It was that local officials didn't take simple precautions post-Columbine, such as having classrooms with doors that could key-lock from the inside. He said this in defense of Alex Jones, claiming that AJ had some people on, interviewing them about Sandy Hook; but that 90% of his content on Sandy Hook that year indicated it was a real shooting in which children and teachers died. Barnes claims the school was bulldozed to cover up liability for school board administrators. As we know from the other threads on Alex Jones, in Austin, he was denied the right to a jury trial (judge issued summary judgement) and denied the right to enter exculpatory evidence or even make a freedom of speech defense.
The Barnes explanation seems to be plausible ... except they bulldozed a school to cover up not putting two sided key locks on classroom doors? Really?
I can't figure out what got me down this rabbit hole. Maybe it was a comment on another blog post, but anyway, I somehow started watching this soph view on BitChute:
I have never heard of Soph before. I also took a look at the WikiSpook page, which has a good amount of information on inconsistencies and removed videos.
The sources in wikispooks are pretty interesting, including archive links to 2014 You Tube video (I don't think archive dot org can or does archive modern videos, but it could back then with the classic player). Here is a clip that will always get removed, 100%, if it's ever posted again on YouTube:
There's also this old page with a timeline of events that's still up:
I remember when the book "No One Died at Sandy Hook" got removed from Amazon, and the author make the PDF available for free. Today, most of the old 2010s videos about all the inconsistencies and problems with the Sandy Hook story have been deleted from YouTube. Why was there such a massive effort to go after Alex Jones? Notice how people rarely question mass shooting today in the same way? I think the Alex Jones prescient, where the largest alt-media host with the most money capitulated to the system, has had a chilling effect on everyone in alternative media. I think the more you look at the original story and all the stuff that has been deleted and censored, the more it seems like this was a botched event of some kind (I think they were expecting two shooters) to have a 1996 Hobart Shooting style effect on America.
It's an interesting thing to revisit, and a terrifying reminder of how powerful media narratives are on the majority of the population. For the rest of the people, the lawsuits and insane defamation charges take care of the rest.
