The Virginia Tech shooting never happened and survivor Colin Goddard is a "fraudster" and "Zionist mole" who is part of a "Zionist cabal!"

January, 2014.


On April 16, 2007, a mentally-troubled young man went on a shooting spree on the campus of Virginia Tech University.  When the bullets stopped flying, 32 students had been shot and killed and 17 others injured before the gunman took his own life.  It stands as the largest mass shooting by a single gunman in the world, and has come to be called the Virginia Tech Massacre.

One of those who were injured was a student named Colin Goddard.  Trapped in a classroom when the shooter entered, Goddard was shot multiple times and had to undergo month of recovery and physical therapy to walk again.  He still has three bullets in his body.  Since the shooting, he has become one of the nation's most outspoken shooting survivors calling for stronger gun regulation.  There has even been a documentary made of him, called "Living for 32."

Colin is a very handsome, well-spoken young man whom I happen to have met, when I hosted him for a number of showings of "Living for 32" in my area.  He even showed me the scars from his gunshot wounds.

But all of that isn't important to the pro-gun conspiracy theorists.  They'll do anything to downplay or cast doubt on any shooting that makes them look bad, including attacking the credibility of survivors or victim families.

Enter the conspiracy theory / anti-Semite website NODISINFO.com.  Their claim is that Colin Goddard was never actually at the shooting, that he faked his wounds, and that he is a "Zionist mole" and part of an "arch-antagonistic, rabid, extremist Zionist cabal."  In fact, they claim the shooting never happened at all!

And even though the webpage actually shows images of the wounds, they nonetheless claim it to be makeup!  From the article:

A living fraudster as mentioned by one of our posters is far more valuable to the ruling cabal than a dead one. Thus, Goddard is continuously involved with the attempt to corrupt the rule of the land by impugning the people’s rights for self defense.   ....

Goddard did the bidding of the arch-antagonistic, rabid, extremist Zionist cabal and was aply rewarded through the production of his own documentary  ....

All that is claimed by Goddard and his Zionist collaborators relating to Virginia Tech is a lie. ....

These fabricated injuries – a fact which is absolute – lends evidence to the fact that the Virginia Tech was a fake shooting like the others – like Sandy Hook, LAX, Nairobi, the DC Navy yard event – and far more.

Their "proof" that it is faked?  The best they can offer is claims of inconsistency in reporting of where the wounds were on Colin's body.  And, of course, they have nothing at all to lend regarding the shooting being part of a "Zionist cabal."  Nevermind that the whole shooting would have required the cooperation of a huge number of students, school administration, local emergency personnel, local and national media, and a number of federal agencies.  Were all those thousands of people part of "cabal" too??

Just another wacko pro-gun conspiracy theory!

The ATF raids Adam Lanza's gun shop. It must be a government scapegoat!

August, 2013.

The ATF recently raided and shut down a gun shop in East Windsor, CT, called Riverview Gun Sales -- the very same gun shop where the mother of Sandy Hook Elementary shooter, Adam Lanza, bought the assault rifle that her son used to commit the massacre.

According to the pro-gun extremist essayist, David Codrea, at Examiner.com, the shop was raided as a sort of scapegoat because of the legal sale to Lanza's mother, and not because of its history of illegal gun activity, and as a means for President Obama to exercise his "pound of flesh hammer" because of failed gun reforms in Congress!

From Codrea's article:

“The guns used in Newtown were legally -- and with no record-keeping hiccups whatsoever -- sold from LaGuercia’s store to the shooter’s mother,” Chiafullo reminded his readers. “Shortly thereafter, the Obama ‘we need a pound of flesh’ hammer came down on Laguercia [through] an ATF raid on his store, with media tipped off beforehand. 

"Regulatory problems suddenly transformed into criminal problems," Chiafullo noted. "Exit FFLGuard counsel, and enter criminal defense lawyers. Regulatory consequences...? Of course. But criminal? Never. This is a watershed event."

In a later article, Condrea then considers suspicious the timing of the raid with an article that was published shortly after, suggesting some sort of ATF-media co-conspiracy "staged media event":

“Now the sale to Lanza was spot on,” the source told Gun Rights Examiner on the night of the raid. “No conflicts, errors, or anything. 

“But tonight, at 6.30, ATF showed up at his door with 30 agents and a search warrant,” the source observed. “Without sounding like a conspiracy theorist, this article hit five minutes before that.” ... 

It’s fair to ask how The Courant was able to produce such a detailed report practically simultaneously to the events without advance information of the ongoing raid. It would appear to be especially relevant as the situation was deemed by professional federal law enforcement to be dangerous enough to send dozens of armed agents and police officers ostensibly into harm’s way, not to mention posing real risks to store employees and any customers who may have been on premises. 

It’s also fair to ask if information about “ongoing criminal investigations” is only jeopardized when Congress asks for it. Perhaps someone from there will be motivated to find out who at ATF tipped off the reporters, and if there were any prior internal discussions, memos or emails about coordinating the raid with the media.

But the raid had nothing at all to do with the sale of the gun in the Sandy Hook massacre, or the fact that both Adam Lanza and his mother occasionally went target shooting at the store.  The raid was because of illegal gun and ammo sales to a felon by an employee, 33 guns gone missing (!), and other questionable gun crimes, which Condrea mentions, yet curiously gives no concern for, overlooking it completely so he can push his conspiracy theory.

From Condrea's own article:

The notice reveals reports of violation issued in 2007, a resulting warning letter and conference in 2008, further citations in 2009, another warning conference in 2010 resulting from those findings, and further “willful violations” reported to LaGuercia in 2011. Most were for paperwork/form-completion and reporting violations, but one of the most serious findings dealt with Riverview employee Krystopher Dibella, alleged to have “on at least two occasions” sold ammunition to “a person whom he had reason to believe was a felon,” and who then allegedly also “allowed [him] to handle firearms while he was on the licensee premises in violation of [U.S. Code].

Other crimes are also listed The Courant news pages:

In June 2007 a Somers man who occasionally worked at Riverview Sales was charged with stealing 33 guns from the business. In that case the store's owner, David E. Laguercia, contacted ATF after determining his store could not account for 33 firearms. Video surveillance showed the man taking two guns. 

In March 2008 that man pleaded no contest to two counts of stealing a firearm from the store and received an 18-month suspended prison sentence.

Besides selling the Sandy Hook massacre assault rifle, this same gun shop has also been the scene of at least one gun theft case:

According to East Windsor police, on Saturday, Marsh grabbed a Bushmaster .50-caliber rifle from Riverview Sales valued at $5,000 and ran from the store. When store employees confronted Marsh, he pulled a knife, then fled on foot. Police officers eventually caught and arrested him.

But, hey, these pro-gun types won't let facts get in the way of their conspiracy theories.  I'm sure all those other crimes wouldn't justify ATF investigation, would they?

Just another wacko pro-gun conspiracy theory!

The LAX mass shooting was a setup by the Los Angeles Police Department!

November, 2013.


A deranged man, Paul Ciancia, 23, with a grudge against the TSA and anti-government paranoia, went into Terminal 3 of Los Angeles Airport, walked up to the TSA security screening area, pulled out an assault rifle, and opened fire.  One TSA agent, Gerardo Hernandez, was killed, two more were injured.  He injured others in the terminal, as well, until a police officer shot and injured him, taking him into custody.

As with other mass shootings, the tin foil pro-gun crowd immediately jumped to the conclusion that the government must surely have been behind the whole thing, somehow.

One YouTube pro-gun poster who posts as "ThinkOutside The TV" wasted no time, videotaping a TV airing of the Los Angeles Police Chief giving a press announcement about the shooting.

What was so damning that *clearly* indicates that the police department had set up the whole shooting (and thus made Mr. Ciancia a patsy, instead of blaming the shooter or the society that arms him)?  The police chief indicated that his department had trained for exactly this scenario only three weeks before!  And, to add fuel to the fire, two of the men behind the chief made movements when he said that: one looked down for a moment, and another wiped his face.  Clear evidence!  Enough to post to the world that the police department is somehow behind this, right?  Right??

See the video from this conspiracy nut HERE:




And what possible motive would the police department have for staging a mass shooting in their airport?  "ThinkOutside The TV" doesn't deign to offer a theory, of course, because it's nonsense.

The really fascinating part about this case  is that the shooter, himself, is a conspiracy theory nut!  According to Hatewatch, Ciancia had bought into the whole New World Order conspiracy theory (that our government was conspiring with other governments to merge and become one world government, thus losing our national sovereignty), was viciously anti-government, and hated the TSA with a passion.  So is it really surprising that one conspiracy nut would be doubting the guilt of another conspiracy nut?

From an article:

Paul Anthony Ciancia, who allegedly wounded three other TSA workers before being shot and critically wounded himself, also expressed antagonism toward the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its chief until she resigned in August, Janet Napolitano, the source said. Ciancia’s note called former Secretary Napolitano a “bull dyke” and contained the phrase “FU Janet Napolitano,” the source said. 

Ciancia’s language and references seemed to put him squarely in the conspiracy-minded world of the antigovernment “Patriot” movement. The New World Order refers to a longstanding conspiracy theory that today, in its most popular iteration, claims that global elites are plotting to form a socialistic “one-world government” that would crush American freedoms. Often, the root of the alleged conspiracy is traced to the 1913 creation of the Federal Reserve and the adoption of fiat currency — paper money that is not backed by gold, as it was once was in the U.S. .... 

One witness told MSNBC that Ciancia asked people at the airport if they were TSA and, if they said they were not, moved on without trying to harm them. 

Yesterday, several news organizations reported that Ciancia was carrying a hand-written document referring to his desire to kill “TSA and pigs.” Pete Williams and Andrew Blankstein of NBC News, who first reported that Ciancia had referred to the New World Order, also wrote that a source said his manifesto “expressed animus toward racial minorities.” Hatewatch was not able to confirm that allegation.

The Aurora Shooter had an accomplice, and the police refused to investigate it!

February, 2013.

One conspiracy theory blogger thinks that James Holmes, the mass murderer responsible for the Aurora, Colorado theater shooting, didn't act alone.

First, the author evokes the other Aurora conspiracy theory about the gunman actually being part of a government plot to push forward a gun control agenda:

While the grander conspiracy theory behind the Aurora shooting entails a staged Manchurian Candidate-like attack with a government endgame of gun control, this post will focus on more direct evidence that contravenes the official lone-wolf narrative, in an attempt to support the probability that Holmes did not act alone.

Like so many conspiracy theorists, the author basically pieces together a hodgepodge of heresay to build the case of an accomplice.  In our modern age of information, we have the ability to see violent events happening almost as soon as the shots are fired, with tweets and live news coverage, 911 calls, and police radio, the chaos of the moment is captured and disseminated, with all the confusion that accompanies it, with no filter whatsoever.  

In a dark theater, during an action movie, with shots fired and tear gas cannisters, naturally some witnesses are going to get disoriented about where the shots are coming from, and memories become clouded by the confusion.  The author basically says as much, but then dismisses it entirely:

Studies have shown that witnesses to a crime aren’t always reliable because of distortions in human perception caused by various biases and stressors. It's the "fog of war"—what one person thinks they saw is not always what was actually there. Moreover, even the most compelling eyewitness testimony can’t always prove that something did or didn’t happen. 

But in the absence of more objective, undeniable evidence, it sure can paint a convincing picture.

and then suggests that, maybe, other witnesses actually saw another shooter, but then simply were never interviewed by police or spoke out.  Uh huh.

And when the police arrive, there is confusion on their part, too, as they try to identify suspects, sometimes reporting to each other over the scanner about potential suspects who turn out not to be involved.

The author of the blog in question (whose only other post is one defending another conspiracy theorist who suggested that the Sandy Hook shooting never actually happened!) basically uses all those chaotic and potentially misleading confusions to build his case that some other figure, who remains shadowy and never really described by witnesses, was involved alongside Holmes.

Just another wacko pro-gun conspiracy theory!

The Sandy Hook school shooter, Adam Lanza, committed his acts as a means to "bring gun control to the fore, so as to punish his gun-loving mother" after he had killed her!

February, 2013.

This conspiracy theory was suggested by the pro-gun blogger, "Rick F.", from the Truth About Guns blog site.  From that page:  

Is it possible that Lanza reckoned that killing little children en masse would be the final act that would bring gun-control to the fore — so as to punish his gun-loving mother?  Obviously, other acts of violence (while similarly awful) had not created the groundswell of anti-gun rhetoric that has come about as a result of this event.  If true, anti-gunners are playing right into the hands of a madman — though I doubt they’d care.

Said one of the commenters to the post:

I had said that if someone really wanted to create enough backlash to ban guns and it meant enough to them that they would martyr themselves, they would need to shoot up an elementary school or a day care. I would really hate to think that I was right, but we see where it’s going.

Another took it even further, suggesting that Lanza was somehow programmed to kill by our government:

I’ve been saying for a while that due to the speed with which the Left and the Antis jumped on the gun control bandwagon after Sandy Hook that Adam Lanza was a tool of those self-same groups, set up to ignite the gun control debate. Who knows, the conspiracy could even extend all the way to the highest levels of our government.

Another commenter took it further still, suggesting that those who advocate for gun regulation wouldn't have stopped the shooter even if they'd had a chance:

Hell, if gun grabbers knew what he was going to do beforehand they wouldn’t stop him. They would condone his actions. We are dealing with some disgusting people, do not put it past them to celebrate the death of anyone even children if it means furthering their agenda. Just look at how they praised Dorner.

Just another wacko pro-gun conspiracy theory! 

The Sandy Hook school shooting was somehow staged by President Obama in order to disarm Americans and put in place a totalitarian government!

December, 2012.

Naturally, the pro-conspiracy theory website, InfoWars.com, is pushing this one.  According to the host, Alex Jones:

 This man does not care about children he cares about disarming the American people to bring in a totalitarian government.

His “proof” is the suggestion that Obama has ordered drone attacks that have cost the lives of some children in other countries.  See the rambling video HERE.

There were actually multiple shooters at the Sandy Hook school shooting, and everyone involved, including the grieving parents, are trying to cover it up!

December, 2012.

According to this wacko theory, there were actually multiple shooters at the school.  The really gross part of this conspiracy theory is that those who suggest it are also saying that the police, media, and even the grieving parents are somehow complicit in the plot, covering up evidence of the other shooters and even faking their grief for the cameras, either purposely or as the result of brainwashing.  Says Alex Jones from InfoWars.com about Robbie Parker, the grieving father of a slain 6-year old:

It appears that members of the media or government have given him a card and are telling him what to say as they steer reaction to this event, so this needs to be looked into.

And in another article, Jones says of the father:

You can watch Parker huffing and puffing and pushing himself into what he thinks is a tragic and grief-stricken state of mind. He does it so badly you wonder why no one in the room calls him on it. It’s beyond strange. Yet reporters later talked about Parker “struggling through tears and suffering to make a heartfelt statement…” The reporters are just as deranged as Parker is.

Just another wacko pro-gun conspiracy theory! 

The Sandy Hook school shooting wasn't carried out by a lone, insane young man, but rather by an Israeli "death squad!"

December, 2012. 

Racist commentator Mike Harris blames the Newtown shooting
on "death squads" from Israel

According to one anti-Semitic commentator, Mike Harris (editor of Veterans Today, former Republican candidate for governor of Arizona, and GOP campaign finance chairman), Israel had a death squad kill those children because of America’s pro-Palestinian stance, or something.  He suggested these “death squads” were also responsible for the Gabby Giffords’ shooting in Tucson, the Aurora movie theater shooting, and the Norway mass shooting.  He goes on to blame “Jewish Senators” for wanting to take away guns from Americans, too, just for good measure. Here's a quote:

This is exactly what Israel did in Norway; the political party that voted sanctions against Israel was retaliated against by a “lone gunman” who killed 77 children. This is what Israel always does, they go after the children. It is what they do in Gaza every day. It is what was done in Norway. It is what happened at Sandy Hook. Nobody buys the “lone gunman” story anymore, not with the Gabby Giffords’ shooting, not with the Aurora “Batman” shooting, certainly not with Breveik, and certainly not in Connecticut.

He also suggests that the shooter, Adam Lanza, was really a “patsy” for the shooting.

Of course, he offers no actual evidence for any of his assertions. 

Just another wacko pro-gun conspiracy theory!

The "Illuminati" used a Batman movie to brainwash the shooters into committing the Sandy Hook and Aurora mass shootings!

December, 2012.

Momentary scenes in the movie which feature the words "Sandy Hook" and "Aurora", according to this theory, were actually placed there by the "Illuminati" in order to play mind games with viewers and brainwash them into committing mass murder.   

These momentary mentions are supposedly used to “brainwash” the viewers into committing the Sandy Hook massacre.  And who is behind this “brainwashing”?  Why, the “Illuminati”, of course (anytime you see the word Illuminati, it’s safe to say that the user is a wacko conspiracy theorist).  Said one conspiracy theorist: 

I was denying to myself that this shooting was staged by the deep state and the Illuminati just like the last one in the movie theatre in Colorado. But not anymore. It’s impossible to deny now. These are huge red flags. The filmmakers of The Dark Knight Rises must answer why they dropped these hints in their film. Is this a sick game their playing with the public? Are they dropping hints to themselves?

Just another wacko pro-gun conspiracy theory!

The Aurora, Colorado mass shooting was actually staged by the government as an excuse for more gun control!

July, 2012.  

When a mentally ill young man, James Holmes, opened fire on a crowded movie theater in Aurora, killing 12 and wounding 58, he did so with an arsenal of weapons and body armor which he purchased legally on the internet, and then booby trapped his apartment. Such mass shootings happen all too frequently in the United States.  But, as I said above, pro-gun extremists don't like to believe that "law-abiding" citizens are capable of such atrocities, or that lax gun regulation that allows such weapons into dangerous hands could be partially to blame.  Instead, they would rather blame the government.  Such is the case when an extremist "news" site declared that the Aurora shooter was "enlisted" by the government to carry out the act.  From the site:

I wouldn't be surprised to discover someone in Washington was behind it all. After all, there's no quicker way to disarm a nation and take total control over the population than to stage violence, blame it on firearms, then call for leaders to "do something!" Such calls inevitably end up resulting in gun confiscation, and it's never too long after that before government genocide really kicks in like we saw with Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao and other tyrants.

He then tried to tie this conspiracy theory to the U.N. Small Arms Treaty conspiracy theory, because of its timing.  He also, incredibly, tried to confuse the issue by denying that the weapons and body armor would be easily available or that a college student would be able to purchase them, despite the fact that they are.

This  ridiculous conspiracy about the Aurora shooting, with no evidence whatsoever, was then repeated and propagated by the president of the Gun Owners of America, Larry Pratt, who also tried to tie the shooting to the U.N. Small Arms Treaty conspiracy theory.

The closest thing the conspiracy theorists have to "evidence" is what they perceive as slight differences in facial features in before and after pictures of the shooter, implying that the person who was arrested couldn't possibly be the actual James Holmes but rather an "impostor."

Just another wacko pro-gun conspiracy theory!

The murder/suicide of four people at the hands of militiaman J.T. Ready was actually staged!

May, 2012.  

J.T. Ready was a "citizen's militia" leader, self-appointed patroller of the border with Mexico, dabbler in politics (as a Tea Party speaker and candidate for Sheriff), and an ardent neo-Nazi.  He made waves with his staunch, hardline aggressive stance against illegal aliens and his extreme pro-gun, vigilante opinions.  Then, one evening, he strapped on body armor, armed himself with two handguns and a shotgun, then walked into a home in Gilbert, Arizona and shot four people to death, including a baby.  He then killed himself.

Unhappy with the thought that one of their fiercest supporters could have carried out such a heinous act, the pro-gun extremists quickly jumped to the conclusion, with no evidence whatsoever, that  Ready hadn't actually committed the act.  Rather, they speculated, it must have been carried out by some other organization that opposed his views.  One conspiracy-theory website accused the Mexican mafia, opponents of "immigration reform and the 2nd Amendment", or even the U.S. government.  From the website:

This political position – particularly from someone running for Sheriff in America’s most embattled county, made him a target of the federal government.

If there was motive to kill J.T. Ready, perhaps it was his role in intercepting drugs from the powerful Sinaloa Drug Cartel.  Perhaps it was his open distaste for the Federal Government and Arizona’s open borders.  Or maybe it was his ambition to become Sheriff – in a border county which is currently the number one theater for drug smuggling and border crime in the United States of America.

These baseless speculations were then echoed on neo-Nazi and pro-gun forums, such as THIS ONE.
