Asking this mostly because it’s been so long that I forgot: what is the ‘conspiracy theory’ behind Sandy Hook?

Asking this because that’s why the feds are doing this to Alex Jones and it’s been so long that I honestly only remembered that because of the posts from earlier.

What the media claim: Alex Jones said that the victims were paid actors and that it didn't really happen, it was all a government psy op to introduce new gun control.

What Alex Jones actually did: alluded to the fact that we weren't being told the FULL truth about the event (which was true as they REALLY try to hide the fact money that was supposed to be allocated to upgrading school locks which would hamper THIS kind if event was siphoned off by government officials) and that they'd use it to argue gun control when it's a mental health issue. Was baited by a malicious phone in to say something along the lines that could be manipulated to be what the media later claimed he said.

There was also a SNAFU by the news media. They were filming in front of one of the buildings (I can't remember which one) with the typical reporter reporting on the ground spiel. In the background of that news report, were a lot of people moving from left to right (if memory serves me correctly). I assume this was done to promote the idea of lots of people being affected. However, at one point, the idiot news crew did a wide shot of the exact same scene, but from the air via a news helicopter, which showed the commotion of background people were all circling the building, in line, repeatedly. The same tactic is used with extras in TV and movies to suggest a large crowd in the background, enabling the producers to use fewer people and save money.

Remember (unrelated) Anderson Cooper wearing fishing trousers and standing in a particularly deep pothole or something to make it look like floodwaters were waist deep, meanwhile the wide shot showed people fifty yards away standing up just fine in maybe ankle deep water.

Or kneeling in the water. Doesn't have to be a pothole.

It was definitely some kind of hole or ravine that was lower than the terrain of the surrounding area. Deliberately picked to spread fear porn.
