Wolfgang
Halbig has tirelessly tried to get to the truth
about the Sandy Hook “school shooting”–and gone
about it in the way most likely to lead to
reliable evidence: by doing Freedom of Information
Act requests to local, state, and federal
governments to get the government’s own documents.
Wolf traveled from his home in Florida to
Connecticut 14 times for FOI hearings, from 2014
to 2016, due to the agencies’ failure to produce
[1], as required by law. His efforts
resulted in, at best, a handful of faked photos.
Mostly these agencies ignored his requests, and
produced nothing. Wolf also pored over the
7,000-page report produced by the Connecticut
State Police, and found numerous inconsistencies
in it, an admirable feat since the report is
redacted to the point of unintelligibility, even
lacking an index in an obvious effort to thwart
researchers.
Despite these responsible efforts to learn what
evidence the government had to support its own
narrative, and laws which mandate that the records
of governmental activities be open to public
inspection, Halbig, a retired national school safety
consultant, former U.S. Customs official, and former
Florida State Patrol trooper, has not only been
repeatedly rebuffed, he has been retaliated against.
When, on Jan. 27th, 2020, sheriff’s deputies
descended on his home in the middle of the night,
frogmarched him across a golf course in the dark in
handcuffs, and booked him into the jail for a
felony–even
though the arrest warrant said the offense was a
misdemeanor–I
was outraged. Because I was familiar with the FOIAs
Wolfgang had done–having earlier compiled his
material so he could more easily use it in defending
against the defamation suit Sandy Hookers brought
against him in Connecticut–I came on
Jim
Fetzer’s internet show shortly
after Wolf’s arrest to detail his contributions.
That interview is a very good resource for anyone
wanting factual information on Sandy Hook. The
bottom line is that because the official reports,
photographs, and other documentation requested were
not produced by the government–and should have been,
if this event were real–we must conclude they were
never created in the first place. So the Sandy Hook
shooting was
not real.
Because that
appearance on Fetzer’s show was not accompanied by
document-sharing, I am recounting the documents
Wolf requested under FOIA here, with links, so you
can follow along. Exhibit numbers are at the
bottom of the first page of each exhibit.
(Additional pertinent findings or resources
created by others are sprinkled in and also cited
at the foot of this blog post.)
By the way, those criminal charges, which had been
brought at the urging of the operative Leonard
Pozner (hand-in-hand, it appears, with
New York Times “reporter”
Elizabeth Williamson
),
were
dismissed.
An interesting factoid is that the shill site
Sandy Hook Facts reported
on Jan. 23rd that Wolf was arrested, when the arrest
did not occur until Jan. 27th.

Evidence
that Sandy Hook Elementary was not an operating
school on Dec. 14, 2012, and the Sandy Hook
“shooting” was a staged production.
1. The
inclusion of Chalk Hill in Monroe on Newtown
Public Schools’ 471 application to the FCC
indicates use of this school by SHES students was
planned at least nine months before the Sandy Hook
Event.
It was
widely
reported that, the weekend
after the Sandy Hook “school shooting” on Friday,
Dec. 14, 2012, the Newtown Board of Education made a
hurried agreement with the Town of Monroe,
Connecticut, to move the traumatized Sandy Hook
Elementary School (SHES) students to a vacant middle
school in Monroe known as Chalk Hill. The move
enabled SHES students to resume school on Jan. 3,
2013, without interruption. Every item within
SHES—pencils, desks, backpacks—was reportedly
transported to Chalk Hill and placed in the same
position it had been in at SHES. Chalk Hill
was even renamed “Sandy Hook Elementary.”
But this “move” by SHES students to the vacant Chalk
Hill School was not prompted by any shooting on Dec.
14th. It had been planned since at least March 2012,
as is apparent from the application for E-rate
discounts submitted by Newtown Public Schools to the
Federal Communications Commission on March 13, 2012,
for the 2012-13 school year (
Exhibit
5). E-rate discounts are reimbursements
by the FCC for the charges paid for
telecommunications services by school
districts. They are applied for on FCC Form
471 and calculated using the same percentage of free
lunches the district provides to low-income
students.
Newtown Public Schools’ 471 application for 2012-13,
sent certified to the FCC on March 13, 2012 and
stating a contract start date of July 1, 2012,
included Chalk Hill Middle School in its list of
Newtown schools. However,
Chalk Hill is
not in the Newtown School District. It
is at 375 Fan Hill Road within the Town of
Monroe. Chalk Hill had been closed by Monroe
Public Schools (
Exhibits
2 and 3) on July 1, 2011, after a “demolition
study,” and turned over to the Town of Monroe (
Exhibit
3, email from MPS superintendent James
Agostine). The number of students (521)
and percentage of free lunches Newtown Public
Schools claimed for Chalk Hill (4.223%) were
identical to those it claimed for a school within
the Newtown School District, Sandy Hook Elementary
School (“Sandy Hook School”), located at 12
Dickinson Drive in Newtown. Again, Chalk
Hill not only was not in Newtown, it was closed and
provided no internet service to any students.
This was thus a fraudulent application by Newtown
Public Schools, as well as a claim for a double
reimbursement, at a time when Newtown Board of
Education had no colorable jurisdiction over Chalk
Hill and Chalk Hill was not an operating
school.
There is no record of any public act taken by the
Town of Monroe designating any use for Chalk Hill
between July 1, 2011, and Dec. 20, 2012.
See Exhibit
4 (a citizen’s letter to the
editor of the local newspaper, Monroe
Patch), and
this
Patch article about
Monroe Planning and Zoning Commission action taken
on Dec. 20, 2012. Monroe’s Parks and
Recreation Department
had
made use of Chalk Hill for offices during
this period.
Exhibit
7 is the minutes of a Monroe
Town Council meeting on Sept. 10, 2012, which refer
to the “benefit to the town and with our finance
department” of an undisclosed plan relating to Chalk
Hill School and warn that the town could be in “a
very dark place” if the new position of deputy
finance director is not immediately created (in the
middle of the budget cycle) and filled with one
Heidi Meade. First Selectman Stephen
Vavrek stated he did not know why Chalk Hill had
been put on the agenda. It is apparent from
Exhibit
4 that he had ducked
citizens’ questions about plans for the school for
some time. Chalk Hill was turned over by Monroe
Public Schools to the Town of Monroe in July 2011
after the study done in December 2010 recommending
it be either mothballed or demolished.
The 471 claim
by Newtown Public Schools for Chalk Hill, with a
contract start date of July 1, 2012, establishes
that the so-called Sandy Hook shooting which
reportedly took place Dec. 14, 2012, was planned
well in advance, as a pretext for obtaining the
$50 million in public money the Newtown Board of
Education was ultimately awarded for the
demolition and reconstruction of Sandy Hook School
(as well as to serve a host of other agendas, all
of which have involved payouts of millions of
dollars more of taxpayers’ money, as well as the
fraudulent solicitation of private funds and
agitation for restrictive gun control and mental
health measures).
This
information was actually not the result of a FOIA:
Halbig was sent this smoking gun anonymously.
2.
Food deliveries for Sandy Hook Elementary
were going to Chalk Hill in 2012. Food
delivery records provided to Halbig by various
sources show that food was being delivered to
“Sandy Hook Elementary at 375 Fan Hill Road,
Monroe, CT” between April 26, 2012, and Jan. 2,
2013. As discussed, the address of
Sandy Hook School until Jan. 3, 2013, was 12
Dickinson Drive, Newtown, CT; and Chalk Hill
School, the address of which is 375 Fan Hill
Drive, Monroe, CT, was closed and served no
students between July 1, 2011, and Jan. 2,
2013. According to the official narrative
Chalk Hill was not transformed into “Sandy Hook
Elementary”–and no students were there–until Jan.
3, 2013. The delivery of food to “Sandy Hook
Elementary at 375 Fan Hill Drive” in Monroe
between April 2012 and Jan. 2, 2013 establishes
that the narrative of students being at an
operational school at 12 Dickinson Drive in
Newtown during that period is false.
Exhibit
8 is the screen shot from a
food truck driver’s delivery manifest showing that
delivery on April 26, 2012, to Sandy Hook (“@ Chalk
Hill Middle School”) was made at 375 Fan Hill Road,
Monroe. The phone number (203-426-7659)
belonged to Sandy Hook School (although it comes up
today as assigned to Town of Newtown), and Lorna
Szalay was Sandy Hook School’s kitchen manager
(although her actual employer is believed to be
Compass Group) [2]. So she was at Chalk Hill,
too.
Exhibit
9 is emails from Kelley
Montin of Dean Foods, which provides dairy products
to schools nationwide, along with a spreadsheet
showing invoice numbers between Sept. 1 and Dec. 15,
2012. The spreadsheet says “Sandy Hook
Elementary School Invoices for Chalk Hill Middle
School, 375 Fan Hill Road, Monroe, CT.” (A
larger copy of the spreadsheet is provided on the
second page of Exhibit 9.) Ms. Montin’s email
verifies that the deliveries were made to Sandy Hook
Elementary School at 375 Fan Hill Road in Monroe, as
well as that the bills were sent not to the Newtown
School District administrative offices, but to a
Julie Kulikowski at Newtown High School, 12
Berkshire Road in Newtown, which could reveal an
effort to keep records of the address change and
payments out of school district offices.
(Staff records at Newtown High School list a
Jacqui Kulikowski,
whose position is “Secretary, Chartwells.”
Chartwells, Dean Foods, and Sysco are intertwined
with Compass Group, which was successfully
prosecuted in 2012 under New York’s False Claims Act
for overcharging for school lunch programs,
resulting in an $18 million
settlement
with the New York Attorney General.)
Augmenting both the 471 applications and the food
delivery records is the historical Google Earth
photo of Sandy Hook Elementary School
at 375 Fan Hill
Drive, Monroe taken March
29, 2012,
Exhibit
55). It was provided anonymously to
Halbig. It shows Google Earth was programmed
as of March 29, 2012, to produce the image of Sandy
Hook School when the address 375 Fan Hill Drive,
Monroe, CT, was input.
The move of
students from Sandy Hook School to Chalk Hill was
not prompted by the “Sandy Hook Shooting” of Dec.
14, 2012, therefore. It occurred
months, if not years, earlier. (Halbig
requested records only from the period Sept. 1 to
Dec. 14, 2012.)
3.
Newtown Police Dept. and Connecticut State Patrol
manufactured fake records to document their
activities and the crime scene during the “Sandy
Hook Shooting” on Dec. 14, 2012.
a. Faked
dash cam videos and photographs. Halbig
requested under the Connecticut FOI law, from the
Newtown Police Department (NPD) and Connecticut
State Police (CSP), the dash cam videos from all
patrol cars responding to the Sandy Hook Event on
Dec. 14, 2012. He has never been provided any
dash cam videos.
Dash cam videos must show the hood of the car.
Halbig was, instead, provided—after pursuing an
appeal to the FOI commission of NPD’s denials of his
requests–videos apparently shot out of the window of
a car, since they do not show the hood. He was
not even provided copies of the videos, after
prevailing on appeal, but only permitted to view
them at the police station, and take screenshots.
Screenshots Halbig took from these videos are
Exhibits
10-12,
14,
and 15. Exhibits 10-12 are views of
three different vehicles seen from the putative
front window of a car identified as being driven by
Officer Chapman, Car 13, at the same time: all
three photos bear the same time stamp, 9:21:43 a.m.
on 12/14/12. Thus, they were faked. In
fact, as Exhibit 13 shows, Officer
Seabrook was
assigned to Car 13 on 12/14/12. Chapman was
assigned to Car
18[3].
Exhibits 14-A, -B, and -C show more anomalies.
Both photos on 14-A bear a stamp saying they were
taken on Dec. 14, 2012, one at 02:28:40 and the
other at 02:28:46. They are, again, totally
different views, one in daylight and the other at
night. In Exhibit 14-B, the date and time
stamps say 12/14/12 at 8:59:35, but again we see two
different views [4]. These were supposedly from Car
13, with Chapman, but, again, the officers’ work
schedule, Exhibit 13, establishes that Chapman was
not assigned to Car 13. In Exhibit 14-C, which
says it was taken 12/15/12 at 9:43:31, the ID again
says Car 13 Chapman. Not only was Car 13
assigned to Seabrook on that day, Chapman is not
even on the roster.
Exhibit 15
shows an officer crouching by a vehicle, poised to
shoot a gun. It is not from a dash cam,
since no hood is seen; and it says “Hayes, Car
18.” Chapman, not Hayes, was assigned Car 18
on 12/14/12 (see Exhibit 13). The time stamp
on this photo says 9:39:52. But the
transcript of Newtown Police radio transmissions
on 12/14/12 (also on Exhibit 15) at 10:24:12 has
Officer Hayes reporting to Officer Kullgren, “I am
in town with my gear if you need another set of
hands.” According to the photos, Hayes had
already been on the scene at Sandy Hook School 45
minutes earlier, poised to shoot.
Halbig’s attorney, Kay Wilson, Esq., moved to reopen
the FOI hearing on March 18, 2016, after Halbig
discovered these “dash cam videos” from the Newtown
Police Department were faked,
and her motion
was denied. Exhibits
26-A and –B. These exhibits bear the FOI
Commission’s docket or time/date stamps.
A still from a CSP video having a time and date
stamp of 5:38 p.m. on Dec. 14, 2012, shows intact
windows on the school. Even without that
stamp, the presence of the CSP forensic van and
coroner Wayne Carver establishes this picture had to
have been taken after the putative shooter, Adam
Lanza, had died. Also, because the van does
not show up in helicopter video of the chase in the
woods at 12:23 p.m., it arrived after that
time. However, the CSP final report shows
these windows shot out and attributes the act to Mr.
Lanza (
Exhibit
51).
The CSP report contains the statements of 16 SWAT
Team members who either said they entered the school
through the window next to the door shot out by Adam
Lanza, or forgot how they entered (see
Exhibit
53-A, Halbig’s summary of their statements,
accompanied by 53-B, a photo of the broken
window). This is implausible: although
the first officer might have gone in that way, he
would obviously have just opened the door for the
others, such as the master sergeant who is 6’4” and
weighs over 240 lbs. Despite the violent
entry of the shooter, followed by 16 police officers
blowing through, the magazines on the table remain
neatly stacked.
The CSP report does not include the Newtown Police
Department’s “dash cam videos.” The CSP made
its own videos, which do show the hood of the
car. There were over 100 CSP troopers on the
scene on 12/14/12, and all have dash cams in their
vehicles. Halbig asked for the dash cam videos
from both 12/13/12 and 12/14/12 of 32 CSP officers,
identifying them by name and badge number.
Exhibit
38. Only three videos were provided due
to “technical problems,” and these show only driving
on the Interstate. There are no videos in
existence showing any children being evacuated from
the school.
b.
Fake work
schedule from Dec. 14, 2012. The work
schedule from 12/14/12 (
Exhibit
13) is in a different format from the work
schedules for 12/15/12, 12/13/12, 12/10/12, 12/9/12,
and 11/9/12, provided to Halbig (
Exhibit
16).
See n.
10, above. It also shows no Tasers assigned to
anyone on 12/14/12, yet Tasers were routinely
assigned on other days.
c.
Faked
photos of Roig’s classroom door windows and
handles.
Kaitlyn Roig has been
lauded
as a hero for supposedly
taking 15 children into a bathroom which measured 4’
x 3’ inside her classroom, and locking the door
against the shooter on Dec. 14, 2012. While cramming
that many people into such a small space (with
toilet and sink already in it) is incredible in and
of itself,
Exhibit
17, three photos from the
CSP
report (produced nine months
after the Sandy Hook event) show in the top photo a
circular window in the door of Roig’s classroom,
Classroom 12. In the photo on the right hand
side, the window in the door is rectangular.
So at least one of these photos is fake. Also,
note that the door handle locks from the outside
with a key: there is no ability to lock it
from the inside. Thus, Roig’s story is false.
4. Other
material evidence that Sandy Hook School was
closed well before 12/14/12.
a. Bulletin
boards with old information—or nothing–on
them. The top photo
in
Exhibit
17, supposedly taken on Dec. 14, 2012, shows a
bulletin board in Kaitlyn Roig’s classroom bearing a
sign “March into Reading.” “March into
Reading” is a national campaign which takes place
every March. It is contrary to standard
educational practice to neglect to update bulletin
boards, since a precept of good teaching is to
engage students as soon as they walk into the
classroom.
See Wong,
H.
The
First Days of School. Yet empty or
outdated bulletin boards are all that are seen in
photos of Sandy Hook School. This one has torn
scraps of paper on it, and no point:
items were obviously ripped from it in
haste.Moreover, it was Christmas, and no holiday
decorations are seen.
b. Building in
disrepair.
Photos
from the CSP report show a
school which was unusable for students, with
dangerous conditions such as broken concrete, mold
and rot, water stains, rust, dirt, broken floor
tiles, broken gates, piles of junk in hallways and
closets, a metal rod sticking out from a staircase,
and much more. Halbig’s attorney had subpoenaed the
custodian, Kevin Anzellotti, for his FOI hearing, in
order to ask him about the condition of the
building, but Anzellotti was improperly instructed
by NPD’s attorney Monte Frank to ignore the
subpoena.
Halbig
got no relief from the Commission for this
grievous misconduct.
c. Demolition
contractors required to sign confidentiality
agreements. The contractors who demolished
Sandy Hook Elementary were required to sign
confidentiality agreements, as was
widely
reported in the press. The contractors
would know the school had been in use, as well as if
there were blood inside, so are prohibited from
talking.
5.
Substantial evidence that the event was staged and
no one died.
a. Paramedics
never entered the school. Exhibit
48 is the statement of
Emergency Medical Technician Captain Karin Halstead
taken by investigators, which appears in the CSP
report, that neither she nor any of her crew–the
Search and Rescue Team–went inside the Sandy Hook
School on Dec. 14, 2012. This means not only
that no rescue was attempted, but that no medical
professional ever declared anyone inside the school
dead. (While she does say she treated a
patient with a gunshot wound outside the school,
that person’s name is redacted and Capt. Halstead’s
statement was not made under oath.)
Karin
Halstead’s mother Barbara Halstead was, in fact,
the school secretary who made the first 911
call. She reportedly hid inside a closet for
3½ hours. Captain Halstead’s admission that
no EMT’s went inside means she did not bother to
look for her own mother [5].
b. No claims
for workers’ compensation or property damages
filed; insurance documents withheld. On
Sept. 20, 2018, Halbig made a request under the
Connecticut FOI laws to Donna Hamzy of Connecticut
Interlocal Risk Management Agency (CIRMA), the
provider of workers’ compensation insurance to
Newtown Public Schools, for claims for injuries
incurred in, and death benefits paid as a result of,
the Sandy Hook event (
Exhibit
19). He never received a response.
The lack of documentation indicates
no staff
deaths or injuries occurred, contrary to published
reports that six adult employees died and one
injured survivor was sent to hospital.
On April 8, 2016, Halbig asked Ronald Main of the
Connecticut Insurance Department for a fraud
investigation, since he had been given a heads-up
that the school’s insurer had paid $497,875 on
property insurance claims. Mr. Main said he had no
information about this claim. Halbig has been
unable to obtain the school district’s property
insurance policies, broker’s name, or claims made
despite several FOI requests to Newtown Public
Schools, CIRMA, and the Connecticut Department of
Education (Exhibits
20 and
45-D).
The
nonproduction of records requested from an
official who has a statutory duty under FOIA to
furnish them is admissible evidence to prove the
event in question did not take place. The
foregoing establishes that no claim for property
damage or workers’ compensation was made to the
school district’s insurer, strong evidence that
there was no property damage and employees were
not injured.
c.
Expert forensic opinion that Avielle Richman is
Lenie Urbina. The person claimed to be
Avielle Richman, the murdered daughter of Jeremy
Richman and Jennifer Hensel, is, in fact, the living
girl Lenie Urbina. That is the opinion of a
forensic investigator Halbig hired to compare
photographs. The report and biographical
details of this investigator, James K. Appleton, are
Exhibit
21.
d. Two
conflicting photos of the lined-up children.
The “conga line photo” is the only published
photograph of children evacuating from the
school. An investigator calling himself
“QKULTRA” discovered that a slideshow of this and
other photos, among a group of 20 supposedly taken
by
Newtown
Bee photographer Shannon
Hicks, was uploaded to YouTube
on Dec. 13, 2012 [6].
In
Nobody
Died at Sandy Hook (p.
96 of 426,
et
seq.), there is a photo James Fetzer, Ph.D.,
calls “Lounging at the Massacre,” showing different
children, obviously being posed, with relaxed adults
looking on and apparently taking photos of their
own:
Lounging
at the Massacre
e. Multiple “in
memoriam” websites created, and staged photos
uploaded, before Dec. 14, 2012. Exhibit
22-A is
a document created by Halbig presenting other
researchers’ findings, supported by
screenshots. It shows that the United Way
condolence page for Sandy Hook was published Dec.
11, 2012, not only in Western Connecticut, but in
Norman, Oklahoma; that the National Ass’n of Women
Law Enforcement’s website contained a statement by
the Baltimore County Police Chief made Dec. 12,
2012, about gun violence and a “situation report”
referring to the Sandy Hook shooting which would not
occur for another two days; that the funding site
“Youcaring” promoted a “Fundraiser for the Families
Involved in the Tragic Newtown, CT Shootings” on
Dec. 12, 2012; that a GoFundMe page seeking
donations for victims of the shooting was published
in Spanish on Dec. 10, 2012; that the Arlington Red
Devils published “Talking with your Child about the
Sandy Hook Tragedy” on Dec. 10, 2012; and that the
FBI report stated the shooting happened Dec. 13,
2012, based on a Department of Defense report
published that same day. These documents are
not hearsay, since they are offered to prove that
the publication of statements about a shooting
at Sandy Hook occurred earlier than Dec. 14,
2012.
Exhibit
22-A has a photograph, on p.
10 of 16, of three adults grinning at each other,
one of whom holds a child, who have appeared in a
very
different published
photo (Exhibit
22-B,
p. 15 of 16) where the adults are
not grinning;
the man in the ball cap has his back turned and is
mostly out of the picture; and the child is
crying. The woman wears the name tag Alicia
Hannan, and she works for the FBI. The child
is hers. The photo in Exhibit 22-A bears a creation
date of
Dec.
13, 2012. This is followed by documentation
(p. 11 of 16) that photos were provided on
Nov. 23, 2012,
to the Associated Press from Eastern Connecticut
State University of ECSU’s alumna Victoria Soto, who
graduated in 2008, to support naming a school after
her. The occasion was “School Shooting – Soto”
in Newtown, Connecticut. The “shooting” of Ms.
Soto, of course, did not happen until Dec. 14, 2012.
Approximately 18 months into his investigation,
Halbig spoke with the photographers whose pictures
had appeared, with their credits, as purported
documentation of the massacre, and he verified their
upload dates as Dec. 12
th and
13
th,
2012. One photographer, who lived in
Newtown, was named Michael Duffy. Mr. Duffy
showed up and started taking pictures, and was run
off the premises. Video from news helicopter
shows police confronting him and ordering him to
leave [7]. He told Halbig, “I’m not allowed to
talk about it.”
An article appeared in
The
Atlantic the very day of
the shooting, presciently titled, “
Has
there ever been a fatal shooting at a public
elementary school?” It discusses Sandy
Hook. The author is
Emily
Chertoff, daughter of Michael Chertoff, former
head of the Department of Homeland Security and now
owner of the Chertoff Group, which
consults
on security systems and
“includes a client that manufactures [full-body
scanners for airports].”
f. “Everyone
Must Check In” log withheld. There
was a sign in the background, when neighbor Gene
Rosen was interviewed, saying “Everyone Must Check
In.”
Exhibit
23 (last page). That
sign indicates the event was a staged production, or
drill. At Halbig’s FOI hearing, Newtown First
Selectwoman Pat Llodra stated that she believed the
sign had been provided by the Department of Homeland
Security.
Exhibit
24 (excerpt from transcript
of FOIA hearing
, June
3, 2015, p. 133, line 17).
Halbig has repeatedly tried to obtain the log of
people checking in and been denied it. His FOI
requests to Connecticut State Police on June 20,
2015 and again on Dec. 8, 2017 (
Exhibits
42-A and -B) were never responded to (and NPD
Chief Kehoe had testified under oath at the FOI
hearing that CSP took possession of all
evidence). Other indications the televised
events represented as occurring Dec. 14, 2012, were
planned and staged as a drill are the portable
toilets on site; bottled water; lanyards around the
necks of several participants; and police officers
munching on snacks (
Exhibit
52) [8] and having pizzas delivered, this
while the nurse and secretary were still unaccounted
for and there were supposed to be dead bodies lying
inside the school (
Exhibit
52).
g. Police
dispatch tapes tampered with and police reports
and school records withheld. Exhibit
25 contains Halbig’s
attorney Kay Wilson’s appeal (docketed Jan. 21,
2016) of the denial of his FOI request to Newtown
Police Chief Michael Kehoe for an audio copy of
.Newtown Police dispatch communications to and from
all units on both Dec. 13 and Dec. 14, 2012.
Mr. Kehoe had refused to provide those documents as
“too onerous.” A disc was later produced, and
Halbig withdrew the request, but on March 18, 2016,
he moved to reopen the hearing, because the
recording was broken up, missing segments, and
generally non-responsive to the FOI request.
Exhibits
26-A and -B. That motion was denied.
Ms. Wilson filed another appeal with the FOI
Commission after Halbig’s requests of the Newtown
Police Department on Feb. 21, 2016, for “the
complete officers’ narrative/incident report when
responding to the Sandy Hook Elementary School
Shooting on Dec. 14, 2012,” were denied. The
Town’s attorney, Monte Frank, told her the Newtown
Police Department did not have such documents.
Exhibit
27. The police chief, Kehoe, had earlier
testified that any statements taken by the CSP from
Newtown police officers were in the possession of
the CSP, while the CSP’s representative, Christine
Plourde, told Halbig he must obtain the Newtown PD
reports “from the originating agency.”
A number of NPD officers’ “statements” are referred
to in the CSP report, but not included. In
addition to being severely redacted, they appear to
be interviews, not statements.
Exhibit
54. At Halbig’s FOI hearing on Feb. 18,
2016, the CSP took the position that it could not
produce the Newtown police reports on the ground
that they were “witness statements,” and also
withheld the CSP dash cam videos, on the basis that
they are evidence, so exempt from FOI
requests. This very contention was rejected by
the Connecticut Supreme Court in a case brought by
the
Hartford
Courant (HHB-CV15-6029797-S)
having to do with evidence in a closed case which
was seized from the Lanza home.
The conclusion which must be drawn from this
runaround is that the first responding agency, the
Newtown Police, made
no reports
whatsoever respecting one
of the most deadly mass casualty incidents in
history.
Ms. Wilson filed more appeals for Halbig over the
denial of his FOI requests to inspect records
pertaining to the trip which members of the Sandy
Hook Elementary School choir took to sing at the
Super Bowl football game in February 2013.
Those students were never identified. Halbig
requested parental permission forms, NFL release
forms, flight manifests, and hotel bills for the
four days they were in New Orleans. The trip
had been approved in an executive session of the
Newtown Public Schools board and an administrator
“on loan” from Monroe Public Schools accompanied
them. Newtown schools’ attorney Monte Frank
once again said there were no responsive
documents. Frank then moved the FOI Commission
to decline to
schedule hearings on these
appeals
and
the Commission granted his request.
Exhibit
28-A contains a sample of
this documentation.
Exhibit
28-B consists of other FOI
requests Halbig made to the Town of Monroe and NPS
for Super Bowl trip records and other
matters. He was never provided any
documents relating to the Super Bowl.
On 14 Nov. 2013, Halbig asked Newtown Public Schools
to provide him copies of the contracts and costs for
the crime scene clean-up, including the removal of
material such as brain matter and body fluids, which
are biohazards. No documents were ever
produced.
Exhibit
29.
h. The Crowne
Plaza Hotel in Southbury hosted a crush of press
and federal officials for at least two days before
Dec. 14, 2012. The sales
manager at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in nearby
Southbury, Connecticut, one Kate Trudeau, telephone:
(203) 586-1524, told Halbig that on Dec. 12
th and
13
th she
was on the phone all day long reserving rooms and
meeting spaces and responding to the needs of
government officials and national news media, such
as ABC and NBC, who arrived before December 14,
2012. This means the event was staged.
The hotel was transferred to new ownership about six
months later and its name changed to Wyndham.
Ms. Trudeau was still employed there in August 2018.
i. On Dec. 12,
2012, national news treated the Sandy Hook event
as a production, naming actors, director, script,
camera operators, etc. An
ABC “World News Tonight” movie which covered the
Sandy Hook shooting was produced
Dec. 12, 2012,
according to ABC’s own promotional material.
Exhibit
30 lists the cast and crew,
but the documentary itself has been removed from the
web. The Internet Movie Database (IMDB) used
to also reflect that the Sandy Hook production was a
movie made on Dec. 12, 2012, but the page has been
altered [9].
j. Payouts and conflicts associated with the
Connecticut state lottery. Other
researchers have found that people connected with
the Sandy Hook event have won the Connecticut state
lottery multiple times. Stephen Zvon, a member
of the Newtown Economic Commission, was listed as a
lottery winner 11 times, “victim” father Mark
Mattioli four times (winning over $100,000 in
different games), and “victim” mother Michele Gay
once (winning $30,000) on the Connecticut Lottery’s
website, which has now been altered so such searches
cannot be done. The site in note 10 contains
screenshots supporting the information noted above
[10].
k.
Additional FOI nonresponses.
Halbig made the following additional Freedom of
Information Act requests, with the lack of responses
(or insufficient responses) as noted:
1)
Exhibit
31-A is correspondence
related to Request #2015-FEFO-00235 to the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), asking for log
sheets and after-action reports related to the Sandy
Hook event, along with copies of FEMA reimbursements
to Newtown Public Schools for damages caused when
Sandy Hook school was flooded in 2009, 2010, and
2011. (Halbig made the request for flooding
damages more specific in
Exhibit
32.) He received no documents in
response to the request for payouts due to the Sandy
Hook event.
2)
Exhibit
31-B is request no.
2015-FEFO-00262, also to FEMA, asking for copies of
the FEMA Severe Weather declared emergency
reimbursement to Newtown Public Schools for flooding
and other damages to Sandy Hook School, including
documents submitted by NPS and the City of Newtown
for such reimbursements. Halbig did receive
one document in response, establishing that the Town
of Newtown received four payments totaling
$282,171.60 between Dec. 13, 2011, and March 2,
2012, for debris removal, grinder pumps, and road
damage repair. These payments support a
conclusion that SHES was rendered unusable by such
floods. (SHES was also contaminated with
asbestos,
see Exhibit
47.)
3)
Exhibit
32 is Halbig’s FOIA request
to FEMA for its evaluations pursuant to its National
Incident Management Sytem (NIMS), including of its
ICS Command Center at Sandy Hook, noting that over
eight FEMA evaluators were present at Sandy Hook on
Dec. 14, 2012. FEMA’s reply follows: it
said no responsive records existed.
4)
Exhibit
33 contains Halbig’s Dec. 2,
2015, FOI request to the Connecticut State Police
(Dept. of Emergency Services and Public Protection)
complaining he had not been provided materials which
were referred to, but not included, in the CSP
report, including a supplemental report of Captain
Jose Rios and the entire investigative reports of
Lt. Sinko and Lt. Robinson, the latter being a
commanding officer of the Newtown Police
Department. Halbig also asks for a certified
copy of the flight log for Sgt. McLain, who was the
pilot of Trooper 1, and McLain’s work attendance
records and military orders for the period April 20
– June 11, 2015, since he was represented as
unavailable (“in training”) during Halbig’s FOI
hearing. Halbig got no response to this
request. This exhibit further establishes that
Halbig was given a runaround, CSP telling him the
materials were in the possession of NPD, and NPD
telling him he had to get them from CSP.
5)
Exhibit
34-A is Halbig’s request of
Dec. 22, 2015 (made a second time on Aug. 24, 2018,
and a third time on Sept. 8, 2018) to Rob Sibley,
Deputy Director of Planning and Land Use with the
Town of Newtown, for the Town’s FEMA applications
for storm reimbursement from 2010 through 2015,
FEMA’s authorization of the expenditures, and copies
of the checks received.
Exhibit
34-B is a request for the
same types of materials from the Newtown First
Selectman Pat Llodra, on Apr. 8, 2017. Halbig
has never received a response to either request
[11].
6)
Exhibit
35-A is Halbig’s FOI request
for copies of the news helicopter videos the CSP had
to have seized on Dec. 14, 2012, which filmed seven
police officers chasing a suspect through the
woods. Halbig has never received such
videos. This chase was a ploy.
Halbig found one news video which bears the time
stamp of 12:23 p.m. on 12/14/12 (substantiated by
Gov. Malloy’s press conference directly afterwards
at 12:26 p.m.) However, dispatch said a
teacher had reported “two shadows running behind the
gym” at 9:39:18. So the chase in the woods
took place almost three hours later. When the
chase starts, officers are running in front of an
open storage shed, a location which should have been
cleared three hours earlier.
Halbig has
examined the CSP report looking for the names and
DOB’s, and results of NCIC background checks for
existing warrants, of two suspects who were seen
proned out, the second one after the chase in the
woods at 12:23 p.m. A cop can be heard on
the news video saying, “He’s coming at me!” and
there is a dog barking. Both suspects were
escorted away by Capt. Rios in handcuffs.
There is not one word in the CSP report about
these arrests, in violation of standard police
practice.
Halbig also made a FOI request to Chief Viadero (
Exhibit
35-B) for the news helicopter videos,
narrative police reports about the chase of that man
through the woods, and the NCIC report. He
also asked for all the photographs
Newtown Bee reporter
Shannon Hicks took, showing the true date and time
she took them, since she must have sneaked onto a
crime scene to do so. These materials are
evidence which should be in the NPD and CSP’s
possession. Halbig again received no
response. A paralegal named Mary Lou Kramer
with the Connecticut Department of Energy and
Environmental Protection (
Exhibit
50) told him, in response to a telephone
request, that all DEEP’s records about the chase
were turned over to CSP (and that audio recordings
would not be produced). But again, as noted,
there is nothing about this incident in the 7,000
page CSP report.
Exhibit
35-C is another FOIA request
asking for incident reports and K-9 unit incident
reports, respecting the chase through the woods, as
well as audio transmissions and a copy of Capt. Raul
Comego’s personnel file. It is followed by Kay
Wilson’s request for another FOI hearing, since DEEP
did not respond. Ms. Wilson’s request was
denied.
7)
Exhibit
36 is Monte Frank’s response
dated 3/3/16 to Halbig’s FOI request
35-B for
NPD and NCIC reports, copies of news helicopter
videos and Shannon Hicks’s pictures. He denies
that NPD has any of these materials save narrative
police reports about the chase through the woods
(item #2), but such reports were then never
produced.
8)
Exhibit
37 is Halbig’s FOI request
originally made April 10, 2016 (and again on Sept.
7, 2018) to Newtown Police Chief James Viadero for
the audio recordings of the four 911 landline calls
which Maureen Will, director of Emergency
Communications for Newtown, said at a 911 conference
came in between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. [sic] to
the Newtown Police call center on 12/14/12.
The first call was from Barbara Halstead, which is
publicly available. Halbig never got the other
three. He also asked for the “Call for
Service” report which former Chief Kehoe stated at
the FOIA hearing was the call center’s official
report, and for the incident log for these four 911
calls. Chief Viadero said he would consult
with the town attorney. No response was ever
made to Halbig.
9)
Exhibit
38 is Halbig’s FOI request
to a number of Connecticut legal and public safety
officials made Feb. 20, 2016, with a follow-up on
April 27, 2016, asking for the dash cam videos of 32
different Connecticut State Police officers for Dec.
13 and 14, 2012, whom he identified specifically by
name and badge number. He also reiterated
prior requests for the Trooper 1 (CSP helicopter)
communication on Dec. 14, 2012. He has never
received the materials requested. He did
receive a putative flight log,
Exhibit
18, which says the mission for CSP was “to
assist Newtown PD w/ the search for a suspect” in
the woods. But Halbig has not been provided
the audio or a transcript of the communication for
Trooper 1 that day, despite making repeated requests
for that.
10)
Exhibit
39 is Halbig’s FOI request
of June 24, 2016, asking again for the dash cam
videos of 39 [sic; actually 32] CSP troopers, whom
he had identified by name and badge number in his
previous request; the reports of 200-plus “calls for
service” that Maureen Will said CSP (and not her
call center in Newtown) received on 12/14/12 between
9:00 and 11:00 a.m. regarding the Sandy Hook School
shooting; and the incident log for each of these 200
calls. No response was received.
11)
Exhibit
40 is Halbig’s FOI request
of Oct. 5, 2016, to officials Plourde and Webster
for the radio communications from CT State Trooper 1
helicopter, which should have been recorded by
dispatch, as well as copies of four officers’ dash
cams, from 12/14/12. No response.
12)
Exhibit
41-A is Halbig’s FOI request
of May 17, 2017, for work orders from any school
district or government employee to paint the bus
drop-off and pick-up area at Sandy Hook School with
yellow stripes and install signage reading “No
Parking – Fire Lane.” The photo accompanying
that email should be compared with
Exhibits
41-B and 41-C, photos from a time when there
was no such yellow striping next to the
school. It is unknown when or why this
yellow “no parking” striping was put next to the
school, since buses would naturally pick up students
there; however, planners of a staged event would not
want vehicles parked there. Halbig never
received a response to this request.
Exhibit
55 shows the striping was
there as of March 29, 2012.
13)
Exhibit
41-A, second page, starts a new email from
Halbig to James Viadero and Monte Frank from May 4,
2017, asking for all 911 calls received by Newtown
Dispatch on Dec. 14, 2012, the complete official
“Call for Service” report. He was provided one
such report, the so-called (unsigned) 74-page “After
Action Report,” and points out that the tag number
of “Adam Lanza’s car”—a black Honda supposedly
parked at the school–appears on that Call for
Service detail, at 9:35 a.m. on 12/14/12, although
the first call from a police officer did not come in
until 9:42 a.m. This “Call for Service” report
thus has also been fabricated, since dispatch had no
way of knowing this tag number.
Another problem with the “Call for Service” report
is that the call was for “Unwanted Person” and says
“Priority: Medium.” It should have
said “Shots Fired” and been marked “High Priority,”
since the first caller, Barbara Halstead,
said shots
had been fired! So this document, too, is
fake.
14)
Exhibit
42 contains FOI requests for
the check-in log created by virtue of the “Everyone
Must Check In” sign. No response was made,
other than the State’s pointing anyone trying to
discover information such as this to the 7,000-page,
nine-volume CSP report, which lacks both a Table of
Contents and an index, and is so severely redacted
as to constitute nonsense. It was described by
the FOIA commission chairman as “the biggest data
dump we’ve ever received.” Halbig has reviewed
that CSP report in its entirety nonetheless.
There is no check-in log in it.
15)
Exhibit
43-A is Halbig’s FOI request
of Sept. 4, 2018, to the current principal and
custodian of Newtown High School (Longobucco and
Gombos) for invoices and billing records from Sysco
Foods, along with all phone calls made from Ms.
Kulikowski’s phone and her personnel file (see
above, at p. 7).
Exhibit
43-B is a similar request
relating to Dean Foods. Longobucco and Gombos
have never responded.
16)
Exhibit
44 is Halbig’s Jan. 16,
2018, FOI request of Christine Plourde for
information relating to activation of the Emergency
Service Unit Personnel, via a CSP helicopter
stationed in Hartford; once again, a copy of the CSP
Helicopter 1 radio transmission and official
transcript provided to the Connecticut Major Crime
Investigative team for 12/14/12, including radio
updates; once again the “Everyone Must Check In”
log, which former Chief Kehoe testified was in
possession of CSP; P-card usage (a government
version of a credit card) for essential supplies;
and dash cam pictures. He has received no
response.
17)
Exhibit
45-A is Halbig’s FOI request of Kathy June of
Newtown Public Schools, originally made March 10,
2016, and repeated on Sept. 7, 2018, for the
contracts between the Town of Monroe and Newtown
School Board for use of Chalk Hill Middle School,
including insurance agreements, fire safety
inspections, code compliance updates, certificate of
occupancy, electric bills, water and trash pick-up
bills, safety inspection reports, and more, for
Chalk Hill.
Exhibit
45-B is Halbig’s FOI request
of June 16, 2018, repeated Sept. 7, 2018, of Kathy
June for all purchase orders approved by Dawn
Hochsprung or requested by Maryrose Kristopik from
July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013. He has
made similar requests to the Town of Monroe, which
include documents relating to the food deliveries
and 471 applications.
Exhibit
45-C. Exhibit
45-D is another request of
Ms. June for information about Newtown Public
Schools’ property insurance, claims, etc. He
has received no response to any of these.
18)
Exhibit
46-A is Halbig’s FOI request
to CSP of March 16, 2017, forwarding earlier
requests from May 13 and July 16, 2015, and March
24, 2014, which he repeated on Sept. 7, 2018 (and
made of DHS), for the radio communications with, and
flight log and mission description for, the
helicopter “Trooper 1” on Dec. 14, 2012, as well as
a Cessna fixed-wing aircraft that CSP put in the
air, which he learned about from FAA. He did
get a flight log and mission description,
Exhibit
18. He had spoken, in January 2016, to
the pilot of Trooper 1 on Dec. 14, 2012, Sgt. James
McLain, who, along with a Trooper Hernandez,
confirmed that all radio communications are recorded
and that Halbig is entitled to the tapes. No
response was received to Halbig’s request, which he
has made multiple times. These records
were created but have been illegally withheld.
He has also asked for the Standard Operating
Procedures for Trooper 1 (the Aviation Unit), and
never received them.
Exhibit
46-B.
19)
Exhibit
47 is part of the State of
Connecticut’s report establishing that the Sandy
Hook School was contaminated with asbestos, another
reason for staging an event: to obtain
financing for demolition. The abatement cost
paid upon demolition in 2013 was $340,000.
20)
Exhibit
49 is Halbig’s FOI to the
present Newtown police chief, James Viadero, asking
for documentation of the $664,785 the Newtown Police
reportedly were granted by DOJ for overtime worked
on Dec. 14, 2012. He has, again, received no
response.
l. Miscellaneous
reports supporting the thesis that the Sandy Hook
shooting was staged, and no one died.
1) CNN showed armed police officers running around a
school on Dec. 14, 2012—but it was St. Rose of Lima
School, which was in lockdown that day,
not Sandy
Hook School. (See
Lake
Lillinonah’s Hidden Mysteries.)
2) The Sandy Hook Volunteer Fire and Rescue
Service’s website
does
not show any calls coming in on Dec. 14, 2012.
3) Newtown Public Schools announced, in around
October 2011, that beginning in Fall 2012 the
contracts for school bus services would be taken
from numerous owner-operators and given to one
company, All-Star Transportation. The last day
for the independents was June 30, 2012. Two of
the O/O’s interviewed, Marsha Moskowitz and Phil
Carroll, said they regarded it as a “
complete
betrayal and conspiracy at the highest levels”.
The bus drivers would know where students were being
taken, but they are not talking.
4) Halbig called Life Star in Hartford, CT
(emergency services) and asked why they had not sent
trauma helicopters to Sandy Hook Elementary.
The manager’s response was, “I’m just as surprised
as you are.
We
were never contacted.”
5) No videos
or photos have been released of victims or
perpetrator within the school—yet there was a
security system there.
6) I also discussed on James Fetzer’s show the
findings of “Cinderella Broom” and me establishing
that none of the staff at Sandy Hook Elementary
filed for disability, such as PTSD or even the
physical injuries which supposedly two teachers
suffered, following Dec. 14, 2012.
This
folder contains the letter
(sent by Wolfgang to the Dept. of Justice, although
this version, from my file, has address redactions),
along with supporting documents, setting forth the
black-and-white evidence that
nothing
happened at
Sandy Hook Elementary on 12/14/12.
Notes
[1] Halbig came to Connecticut another eight or so
times to monitor hearings in a court case in which
another Sandy Hook skeptic was wrongfully prosecuted
for exercising his First Amendment rights. This
person is Jonathan Reich, a New York resident who
had the audacity to telephone the Connecticut
medical examiner, Wayne Carver, to ask him about
autopsies of the putative Sandy Hook victims.
Reich was extradited wrongfully from New York to
Connecticut on a misdemeanor charge of harassment,
and imprisoned
at Riker’s Island for 90 days.
[3] The daily work schedules attached as Exhibits
13 and 16 were authenticated under oath by Chief
Kehoe of the Newtown Police Department at Halbig’s
FOI hearing in June 2015.
[4] The two photos below Exhibit 14-B are
duplicates of Exhibit 11.
[5] Three other Halstead family members had key
roles in the Sandy Hook event: Karin’s
father William Halstead, marshal of Sandy Hook
Volunteer Fire & Rescue, who has been with
that organization since 1978; Karin’s husband John
Jeltema, a firefighter; and William Halstead’s new
wife Debbie Aurelia, the town clerk of Newtown,
who pushed for legislation closing death
certificates of minors to public inspection.
Another Halstead, William, Jr., who is an
emergency management analyst at Yale, makes a
likely six participants from this family.
[6]
YouTube summarily removed QKULTRA’s channel, along
with videos possibly numbering in the hundreds made
by other Sandy Hook researchers. QKULTRA
established mirror sites, however, one of which
is:

the producers, as an apparent practical joke.
[11] It bears mention that Robert Sibley—not the
director of his department, but only a deputy–was a
guest at an event in January 2013 featuring Senator
Richard Blumenthal (the father of Sandy Hook
plaintiffs’ attorney Matthew Blumenthal), Arizona
Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, and the lieutenant
governor, as well as that his wife, Barbara Sibley,
posed as a witness during the Sandy Hook event,
reporting she was at the front door of the school
while the shooting was in progress. Both were
interviewed by Katie Couric.

Always tell the truth because their is less to

Subject: There is not going to be a felony warrant
that anyone can provide, because one was never
issued.
I can honestly tell you that this issue is endemic
in Lake County. It is not isolated to
you. I have had several other clients arrested
on warrants for misdemeanors in Lake County when
they should have been issued a summons to appear in
court. This is an issue I have continued to
raise with the Lake County State Attorney’s Office
and Lake County judiciary. For the most part,
every time I raise this issue with the judges they
seemed genuinely receptive to being educated about
the issue.
There is not going to be a felony warrant that
anyone can provide, because one was never
issued. You were arrested an a misdemeanor
warrant that never should have been issued. I
believe that the reason the case was originally sent
to felony court, even though you were only charged
with a misdemeanor, is because the Clerk of Court
assumed the warrant meant it was a felony…because
that would be the case 99.9% of the time. They
can only issue warrants on misdemeanors in limited
circumstances, such as when the defendant will not
appear to court on a summons. We immediately
caught the issue and the case was then sent down to
county court where misdemeanors belong.
What a crazy story! How is it
possible that initially we were told the Bushmaster was used and
"found next to the shooter." and ".223 rounds were found at the
scene... now the story has changed to "there was no assault
rifle used at all at the scene..??" Here is the latest "update"
from MSNBC (revision to the story):
Two years
later, the Newtown Board of Education was
told the school, built in 1956, had a
severely dilapidated roof, and in 2008,
learned the facility was contaminated with
asbestos, lead and PCBs under its
foundation. Ten months after the shooting,
the city approved a referendum to demolish
and rebuild a brand new K-4 elementary
school using a $50 million state grant.
