This is more than muddying, it's poisoning the water, and if intentional, an extremely clever way to make sure that the whole topic of inconsistencies--and, primarily, how the f-- this dude managed to carry it out alone and wiht no wounded--will be politely ignored and anyone who questions it will be treated like a pariah. Reminds me of the whole 'no plane hit the Pentagon thing', which experienced conspiracy-sniffers just a few days after 9-11 warned was an attempt to discredit conspiracy theories of all types (later, also, the whole thing about no planes used on the towers and etc.).
The most convincing explanation I've heard for the phenomenon is that the "no planes" hoax was part of the control valves created by the planners or the government spin doctors of the 911 attacks, which makes sense considering that quite a bit of the speculation along those lines originally arose from the public statements of Donald Rumsfeld.
There's a site - "September Clues," if you're interested - which is a fairly large community (over 1300 members) of individuals who are convinced that most large news stories such as this are simply a combination of video fakery, hired psyop actors, simulations, and photoshop manipulation of images. If a poster on that forum evidences any apprehension that a story under discussion might contain elements that are tied to something in the real world, they are quickly banned. If this worldview reminds you of the "no-planers", it's because the skill-set required to maintain the perspective that everything is a fake was collected and codified by the same group that started the 911 video fakery lifestyle. It's almost as if the shock of 911 inbred with over-viewings of the Matrix trilogy to birth a near religion of quasi-solipsistic X-treme media skepticism in which anything which you have not touched with your own hands is a construct of the system of media control. And while it certainly pays to be skeptical of what you see on teevee, I think they've gone overboard, and it seems that with each new massacre the idea seems to be spreading that none of it is real. I suspect it
means something, sociologically, but just what, I don't know.
Anyway, there's a huge 30 page thread on the Sandy Hook shootings over there, if you have the stomach for it. It's actually kind of shockingly callous, but I think there's a degree of sincerity about their beliefs that can't be denied. There are true believers in their midst, no question.
Back on topic with more grist for the mill, the father of Adam Lanza
claimed his body last week, but declined to specify where the body would be buried.
Not surprising, in a practical sense, but it ties right in with the no-plane approach.
