00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:07.040
On December fourteen, twenty twelve,
a horrific tragedy took place at Sandy Hook

2
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:11.839
Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
A gunman entered the school and open fire,

3
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:15.679
killing twenty six people, including twenty
children. In the aftermath of the

4
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:19.399
shooting, the nation mourned and struggled
to make sense of the senseless violence.

5
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:23.920
But for some, the tragedy was
not what it seemed. Conspiracy theories began

6
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:28.039
to circulate, claiming that the shooting
was a hoax staged by the government for

7
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:31.920
some unknown reason, and at the
forefront of these theories was Alex Jones,

8
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:36.399
the founder of Inflowers. Jones claims
about Sandy Hook were among his most disgusting

9
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:40.520
and offensive. He alleged that the
shooting was a false flag operation, meaning

10
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:44.039
that it was carried out by the
government as a way to manipulate public opinion

11
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:48.159
or further some nefarious agenda. He
claimed that the children who were allegedly killed

12
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:52.119
in the shooting were actually actors,
and that their parents were crisis actors who

13
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:55.840
were part of the conspiracy. These
claims were not only false, but deeply

14
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:59.520
hurtful to the families and loved ones
of the victims. The idea that their

15
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.600
children had not been killed or that
their grief was somehow manufactured, was a

16
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.400
slap in the face to those who
were struggling to cope with the unimaginable loss.

17
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.760
The spread of these theories had real
world consequences, including harassment and death

18
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.359
threats against the families of the victims. Jones claims were also completely unsupported by

19
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:21.920
any credible evidence. The official investigation
into the shooting, conducted by law enforcement

20
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:26.319
and other authorities, found no evidence
of a conspiracy or a hoax. Instead,

21
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.799
it concluded that the shooter, Adam
Lanza, acted alone and with no

22
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:34.799
clear motive. The overwhelming consensus among
experts and investigators is that the shooting was

23
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.000
a real and tragic event, and
that the conspiracy theories surrounding it are baseless.

24
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.560
So why did Jones promote these claims. It is likely that he saw

25
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.519
them as a way to generate attention
and stir up controversy. Jones has built

26
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:51.000
his career on promoting conspiracy theories and
fringe beliefs, and his followers are often

27
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:55.000
drawn to his outlandish claims, but
in this case, his actions went beyond

28
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:59.560
mere provocation. By spreading lies and
falsehoods about a tragedy that claimed the lives

29
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.280
of innocence children. He crossed a
line that should never be crossed. In

30
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:06.680
the end, the Sandy Hook shooting
was a real and terrible event, one

31
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.319
that shook the nation and brought grief
to countless families. The idea that it

32
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:15.800
was a hoax propagated by conspiracy theorists
like Alex Jones is not only offensive but

33
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.039
dangerous. By promoting these claims,
Jones and others like him are contributing to

34
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:23.439
a culture of mistrust and paranoia,
one in which facts are dismissed in reality

35
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:29.080
is twisted to fit preconceived beliefs.
We must reject these lies and stand up

36
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:30.639
for the truth in the name of
the victims and their families.
