Does The FBI Admit Nobody Died At Sandy Hook?

by ⋅ 3 Comments

Somehow, some way, there are still people out there who believe the FBI openly admits that the Sandy Hook massacre never occurred. This isn’t something these folks claim happened once or twice by mistake and was quickly swept under the rug forever. No, they believe that this incredible admission of guilt has been public this whole time, posted for all to see on the FBI’s official website. That would be the very same website in which they also include the twenty-seven killed and two wounded during the attack in their Study of Active Shooter Incidents in the United States Between 2000 and 2013:

And that’s only one of over one hundred and fifty references to the shooting on their site, none of which state that it was just a “drill” or that no one died. Go ahead and check.

So of course the claim never made any sense. Why would the FBI, of all people, purposely and continuously expose one of the worst mass shootings in American history – a shooting they themselves responded to and investigated – as a total fraud? And on their very own website, nonetheless, where the tragedy still looms large otherwise. It’s nonsense.

While such absurdities are to be expected from Sandy Hook deniers, what has managed to catch me a bit off guard is how often they leave comments about it here, on this site, as if they’ve finally stumbled upon indisputable, bombshell evidence that I either haven’t seen yet or don’t have an answer for. The reason this is so baffling is because I thoroughly debunked this hooey back in 2016. It’s not even that long an entry! I guess the “do your own research” crowd is just dogshit at doing theirs.

So, for the sake of increased visibility, I’m going to debunk it again, this time in its very own entry. After all, my previous takedown of this particular claim has only ever been published as part of my series on Jim Fetzer’s rancid “Nobody Died At Sandy Hook”. And since Sandy Hook conspiracy theorists have proven themselves unwilling or unable to use the site’s search feature (it’s literally the second result when you search “FBI UCR”), maybe they’ve just never seen it. Regardless, it’s long overdue.

Fact Checking “Nobody Died At Sandy Hook”, Chapter Ten

by ⋅ 4 Comments

“Nobody Died At Sandy Hook”
Chapter Ten
By: “Dr. Eowyn” (aka Maria Hsia Chang) and James Fetzer

Chapter Ten is an interesting read — not because it suddenly delivers anything resembling compelling evidence (spoiler: it absolutely does not), but because its central claim was thoroughly debunked years ago by Metabunk, Snopes, USA Today, and plenty of others. To their credit — sort of — the authors even admit this right in the opening paragraph. And yet, for reasons known only to them, the chapter keeps going. What follows is James Fetzer and Maria Chang tripping over themselves in an attempt at a rebuttal that basically amounts to “nuh-uh.” Gripping stuff.

James Fetzer’s Disastrous “Ask Me Anything”

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

For the uninitiated, Reddit is a user-driven content aggregator broken up into communities called subreddits. Each subreddit centers on a specific interest, and collectively they cover just about everything imaginable—news, politics, culture, hobbies, and plenty of nonsense. There are thousands of them. Based on subscriber count, the main conspiracy subreddit currently ranks as the 108th most popular on the site, nestled comfortably between the NBA and anime.

Sandy Hook denial is, unfortunately but predictably, a popular topic there. As a result, even a clueless doofus like James Fetzer manages to receive regular praise—along with occasional scorn, since conspiracy theorists love eating their own almost as much as they love conspiracies.

While it never really found a large audience, the conspiracyAMA subreddit was created as a spin on Reddit’s wildly popular AMA format, typically used by celebrities or public figures to interact with Reddit’s enormous userbase. The idea was to give conspiracy personalities a “safe space” to answer questions without immediate ridicule. Though the subreddit ultimately paled in comparison to its inspiration, it did manage to host one of the most disastrous AMAs I’ve ever seen—right up there with Woody Harrelson’s legendary meltdown.

The guest of honor was, of course, bloated clown James Fetzer, fresh off his Amazon ban and eager to milk his allotted fifteen minutes of relevance.

I strongly recommend setting aside some time and reading the AMA in its entirety. It eventually ballooned to 371 comments before finally running out of steam, and it’s an incredible document. What follows, however, are some of my favorite moments—packed with Fetzer’s bald-faced lies, furious backpedaling, and his predictably asinine takes on other subjects (especially Jews).

All responses are from James Fetzer, transcribed by the moderator. This may not mean much if you’re unfamiliar with Reddit, but it’s worth noting that Fetzer’s answers were rated so poorly by users that many of them were automatically hidden from view. That’s how badly things went for poor James… in his own AMA.

Still, don’t feel too bad for him. Fetzer seems convinced it went swimmingly. Seriously. Just take a look at this Facebook post:
