Florida Atlantic University professor James Tracy is standing by his controversial views on the Sandy Hook massacre, saying in a radio interview today that crisis actors may have been used to embellish the shooting, just as they did in 9/11.
Florida professor James Tracy tells Alex Jones' radio show that like 9/11, Newtown was "a drill that went live"
BY ALEX SEITZ-WALD
Tracy has been lying low since sparking international controversy recently by writing a blog post advancing conspiracy theories about the massacre, but he broke his silence this afternoon with an hour-and-20-minute-long interview on the radio program hosted by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. Today, however, Jones was out, so Tracy spoke with guest host Paul Joseph Watson. (The crisis actors myth is bogus, of course.)
In addition to theories about Sandy Hook laid out in his blog post, Tracy distanced himself from some of the more bizarre conspiracy theories out there. Those theories, he said, may be the work of whoever is trying to hide the truth about Sandy Hook.
Asked by Watson about some of theories even the two of them dont believe, Tracy replied: I think that there is definitely a program to sow misinformation in the stream of information in order to muddy the waters and in the process discredit the research that independent researchers and the like are putting together in alternative media. Because if you can discredit it or muddy the waters to a limited degree in one area, you can paint with a fairly broad brush, the mainstream corporate media can do that.

(730 posts)I was at a home poker game last night, when the local gun nut started raving. I kept my mouth shut and took his money until he mentioned Sandy Hook, and the movie to prove his point.
Sheer lunacy on it's ass. Aurora and Sandy Hook are not mentioned in the movie. YouTube clips show a desire to find something, not a "holy Shit" moment.
These nuts are really starting to piss me off. Good thing I didn't carry my gun into the poker game...or anywhere.
