Thinking about Sandy Hook:
Reality or Illusion?
by Jim Fetzer
“It ain’t what we don’t know that hurts us; it’s what we think we
know that ain’t so.”
—Will Rogers
The Sandy Hook experience has divided Americans, most of
whom have been convinced by media coverage that it was a
real event, where a young man massacred 20 children and six
adults before killing himself.
Another substantial segment of the US population has taken a
closer look at the evidence and drawn the conclusion it was a
hoax, where no children really died: it was
an elaborate psy-op to promote gun control.
Americans are hard pressed to sort these things out, because they are hit with a blizzard of reports that appear to confirm the official account, leaving them in the predicament of not being able to tell if it was real or fake.
It matters even more today because gun control has become one of the defining issues of politics in America, where leading Democrats (Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton) are using their authority as President (in the first instance) to issue Executive Orders constraining our 2nd Amendment and (in the second) threatening to impose liability laws upon their
manufacturers for their use by those who buy them. Ben Carson, on the Republican side, has observed that Jews would have been better able to fend off The Third Reich had they not been disarmed; and Matt Drudge has challenged the President to demonstrate his sincerity by giving up his (heavily
armed) Secret Service protection.
The appeals to Sandy Hook (shooting 20 children), the Charleston shooting (of nine blacks) and the
Oregon shooting (where college students were asked their religion and those responding “Christian” were shot in
the head) has struck some observers as appearing to be calculated to instill fear into specific targeted subpopulations of the American community: parents, blacks and Christians, for example, where it’s as though we were
experiencing a series of psy-opsto convince the public that we ought togive up our guns. That troubles many, because disarming populations has all-too-often occurred to set the stage for tyranny in world history past. What
if Sandy Hook was onlyan illusion?
