Okay, so I saw some people commenting on this subject and out of curiosity (as well as a slight case of insomnia) I decided to go ahead and check it out.
As much as I hate conspiracy theories (at least the ones who take themselves seriously), I must admit I was at first intrigued when I hit play.
At first glance, the guy makes a moderately compelling case. At least so far as to make one pause and say, "Hmm. That is a little weird".
What he fails to address, as is true with all conspiracy theories is:
This guy suggests that we need to keep our guns in order to defend ourselves when the government swoops in to wipe away our rights and freedoms. Many like-minded individuals would suggest that our handguns and assault rifles are sufficient to protect us in such a situation because the military would choose the side of the "patriots" rather than follow unjust orders from their Commander-in-Chief. Yet....these "friendlies" are supposedly participating in this vast conspiracy in Sandy Hook.
Anyway...the video intrigued me despite my better judgment. Never one to accept anyone's word at face value, I thought it was important to take the poster up on his offer and do a little research of my own.
There's still more to learn, but some counterpoints can be found HERE[/b][/i]

What he fails to address, as is true with all conspiracy theories is:
- Why would they take such extremem measures when much more subtle and cost effective methods are out there.
- Why would such a large mass of presumably loyal, red-blooded, patriotic Americans participate in such a grand hoax so obviously designed to oppress the citizenry? Are they being offered special status in the New World Order in exchange for their compliance?
