Robert Barnes, the celebrated attorney, said (of his visit to the Alex Jones trial in Austin) that it was unlike any courtroom he had ever seen, with three cameras (one of which was pointed at the jury) and that “it looked like a made-for-TV-movie”!
No doubt, Robert Barnes got it right! And the outcome was the film, “The Truth vs. Alex Jones”, which contains very little truth (as I shall explain) and distorts the law regarding freedom of speech by grossly misrepresenting the First Amendment to present a contrived and fabricated case against him for (allegedly) lying about Sandy Hook. But for a person x to like about an event E requires that (a) x makes assertions about E that are false, (b) that x made those assertions knowing they were false, and (c) with the intent to deceive a target audience about E. From the clips of Alex talking about Sandy Hook that are included in this film, it should be obvious he believed what he was reporting and was attempting to inform his audience of the truth about Sandy Hook. That means that, even if what Alex was reporting had been false, he cannot have been lying because he believed that what he was saying was true.
As though this elementary point were not telling enough, Alex Jones’ early reporting was not even false. I know because I am one of the “professors” and “school safety experts” Alex said had “misled” him about Sandy Hook during his exchange with Elon Musk, which I reviewed (in some detail) during my interview with Sean on SGT Report: Never Speak of This” (28 December 2023) and at the College of Complexes (10 February 2024), including how we know that three of the “victims”–Noah Pozner, Emilie Parker, and Vicki Soto (or the persons they were based upon)–are alive and well. You can’t do better to appreciate the enormity of the Sandy Hook hoax than by reviewing the evidence I provide there, where I co-edited the book, Nobody Died at Sandy Hook: It was a FEMA drill presented as mass murder to promote gun control” (2015, 2nd ed., 2016), which amazon.com banned less than a month after it had gone on sale and sold nearly 500 copies.
SGT Report: Never Speak of This (28 December 2023)
Why would amazon.com ban a book that was destined to become a bestseller, you might ask? Because I brought together thirteen (13) experts, including six (6) Ph.D.s, and we established that (i) the school had been closed by 2008 (where it turns out to have been closed in 2006 and was not even an elementary school), that (ii) there were no students or teachers there (as Alex Jones’ correspondent on the scene, Dan Bidondi, reported at the time), and that (iii) it was a FEMA drill presented as mass murder to promote gun control. For over the past two years, I have been in communication with two of the participants in the drill–Margaret Alice Cottle, who was cast as the student victim, “Emilie Parker”; and Victoria Aurelio, who played the role of the heroic teacher, “Vicki Soto”. Margaret even found the Sandy Hook exercise listed on the schedule of CT FEMA Headquarters (as drill L-366) in Bridgeport, CT:
For a quick take, Victoria Aurelio (aka “Vicki Soto”) has gone on to earn an advanced degree in Special Education from New York School of Career & Applied Studies (2017), five years after her reported death at Sandy Hook–and under the name “Victoria Soto”! I learned from her and Margaret (via our mutual friend, Steve Lucia), that those who participated in the exercise have substantial “fringe benefits”, including not paying taxes and free tuition in pursuing their higher education, as she has done. I was on the phone with Steve when. Margaret, who was with him, spoke with Vicki and asked her how much she had been paid for reprising her role as “Eva Morales”, a teacher reportedly killed at another (staged) school shooting in Uvalde, TX, which was $210,000. Eric Holder came to Newtown in 2006, they told me, and offered Newtown (the community) $114,000,000 for participating in this “Capstone Event”.
One of the striking features of the “false flag”/staged events Brian Davidson–a private investigator licensed in Texas–and I have discovered is that FEMA likes to use the same “crisis actors” again and again, especially when they have been found to be reliable in the past. The Uvalde, TX, school shooting was modeled after Sandy Hook, where (in this case) instead of shooting his mother and then killing 20 first graders and several teachers, at Uvalde, the shooter shot his grandmother and then killed 19 second, third, and fourth grade children. It’s fairly absurd, but even Wayne Carver, the Medical Examiner from CT, was recycled and made an appearance in Uvalde, as we documented in a two-part series, Part 1 (here) and Part 2 (here). The Uvalde event was so sloppy that they they even featured two “fathers” for the same alleged victim, where the perps (FEMA and DHS) have become casual about details because they have found (based upon Sandy Hook) that the public is gullible enough to believe anything they produce as long as it carries emotional impact!
Jim Fetzer and Brian Davidson Methodically Dissect the Uvalde, TX, School Shooting (1 June 2022)
From a logical point of view, the technique employed by Amos Pictures was “special pleading” by citing only the evidence favorable to its point of view and suppressing the rest (though a few slipped through). Also known as “the method of selection and elimination: select the evidence that supports a predetermined conclusion and eliminate the rest. A nice example is the FOIA Hearing prompted by Wolfgang Halbig’s efforts to secure answers to his questions about Sandy Hook, where the First Selectman of Newtown (equivalent to Mayor), Patricia Llorda, admitted under oath that the sign, “EVERYONE MUST CHECK IN”, was placed there by Homeland Security, which would not have been there had this been a bona fide event. Others, of course, include the FEMA manual, the CT FEMA Schedule, and the FBI Consolidated Crime Report for 2012, which shows (at the intersection of “Murders and Nonnegligent Manslaughters” and “Connecticut” the numeral 0 (none, nada, zilch, zero):
The most egregious deceit of “The Truth vs. Alex Jones” came from Mark Bankston, Attorney for Neil and Scarlett Lewis, where Neil continues to insist that he held his son, Jesse, in his arms at Sandy Hook, contradicting the assertion of Wayne Carver, M.D., during his (bizarre) press conference the following day, that the parents were not allowed to come into contact with their children, which was done instead using photographs. That was appropriate, because most of the kids were legal fictions who only existed in the form of photographs. Since this point has been made (again and again) by Sandy Hook skeptics (including in my briefs to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals and to the US Supreme Court), one might have thought that Amos Pictures would at least avoid such blatant contradictions. It’s a sign of the arrogance of the government (FEMA and DHS) running the show that they continued to perpetuate the logical impossibility of the parents not being allowed to come into contact with their children and Neil Lewis insisting that he held his dead son in his arms.
What Mark Blankson asserts is that the First Amendment does not protect Alex Jones from lying about Sandy Hook (which is the predicate upon which the entire film is based). Giving the matter more thought, however, it should be obvious that opinions of every sort–even diametrically opposed!–are protected by the First Amendment, which provides strong protection for speech, even in situations where a person is not telling the truth—intentionally or unintentionally. Since Alex Jones was sincere in his belief that Sandy Hook was staged (following what “professors” and “school safety experts” had reported), he cannot have violated the First Amendment. What he meant to say is that sometimes persons can be liable for false claims that are defamatory, but even then it requires that it must be a provable assertion of fact (not an opinion). The Dane County Circuit Court would not even allow me to present proof that Sandy Hook had been a drill and not a bona fide mass murder on the basis that it was “not relevant” to the truth or authenticity of a death certificate for an alleged victim:
But that anyone died at Sandy Hook has never been established in a court of law. All of these cases–including the Remington and Alex Jones in Austin and in CT–have been decided on the basis of presupposition, assumption, or (in Alex case) failure of discovery. There has been no legal determination that anybody died. You might think that, if Amos Pictures had only known what I am presenting here, they would have done this differently. Wrong! They did know. They interviewed me for the film (or so I was told), where I now believe that they were using me to get to Wolfgang Halbig and James Tracy (another professor), whom they wanted to use as targets in the film. And it worked! After they had interviewed me–where I had explained everything I have explained here–I sent documents from my legal case in subsequent correspondence. So they had it all. Which means they knew that Sandy Hook was a hoax but asserted it to have been real with the intent of misleading the public. Somebody lied, but that would not be Alex Jones.
And, to substantiate everything I have said here, you may now download both cover and content of Nobody Died at Sandy Hook (Redacted ed… 2024):
BONUS: In September 2018, I collaborated with Robert David Steele in producing a Memorandum on Sandy Hook for (then) President Donald J. Trump, which I am also making available as Sandy Hook Truth (Redacted edition, 2024), including 31 short essays and 5 appendices, you can download here.
