Father of one of the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting says the removal of posts on Infowars’ accounts amounts to destroying evidence.

ed note–keep in mind that this–a very public and official ‘investigation’ into the ‘real’ events at Sandy Hook–is EXACTLY what the Sandy Hook Hoaxers have been screaming about for almost 6 years, and now that it has arrived, are in panic mode over the very real and very likely disastrous outcome that awaits them as a result of all their nuttery.

Far-right agitator Alex Jones has been deleting social media posts about his conspiracy theory that the 2012 Sandy Hook mass shooting, which took the lives of 20 children and six adults, was a government hoax.

A Friday court filing on behalf of the father of a victim of the attack claims the removal amounts to destruction of evidence. The deletion of content that reflects Jones’ view of the tragedy as a manufactured story using actors means that evidence is lost, the motion for sanctions claims.

Jones has been under pressure from critics who believe he and his Infowars brand shouldn’t have free reign to inflict pain on victims via social media platforms. Facebook, YouTube and Apple have taken steps to remove Jones and Infowars. Twitter put Jones’ account on a seven-day timeout Tuesday after finding that a post linking to a video in which he told his listeners to get “battle rifles” ready was a violation of its terms.

Infowars’ reports and videos on Sandy Hook have blamed victims’ parents, as well as the government, for manufacturing what it states was a hoax. Parents have been singled out by Jones, and his followers have issued threats against them.

Jones said during an Infowars broadcast last week that he instructed staffers to delete some social media posts in reaction to a news report the previous day that pointed out several posts appeared to violate Twitter’s rules.

” … It is clear from Mr. Jones’ own admissions that relevant evidence has been lost,” the filing reads. “As pressure mounted from pending defamation lawsuits and growing public indignation, Mr. Jones chose to destroy the evidence of his actual malice and defamatory conduct … “

Southern California journalist Brooke Binkowski has been tracking Jones’ social media, and her work was cited in the Texas claim. It states Binkowski “was able to confirm that specific InfoWars messages” were deleted after news reports came out about their apparent violation of Twitter’s rules.

“I think he might have deleted every single reference to Sandy Hook parents,” she told NBC News.

But while the filing claims “these materials are fruitful sources of evidence,” Binkowski says she has preserved it. “I got it all,” she said.

The claim was filed on behalf of Sandy Hook parent Neil Heslin, a plaintiff in a larger defamation suit against Jones. His attorney, Mark D. Bankston, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Jones, Infowars and Twitter also did not respond.

Heslin is seeking fees, costs and court sanctions, and he also wants the court to regard the deleted material, including “hours of video,” as “defamatory in their own right.”

  1. The Fat Head is going down! Jones was a troll for jewry, mainly to destroy attention to 9-11 by pushing any number of fake conspiracies and lumping 9-11 in with BS like Sandy Hook. Jones is even worse than scumbags like Gordon Duff & Jim Fetzer of Veterans Today.
    All these trolls have made big bucks, unlike this site that depends on the cheapskates who visit here daily and can’t cough up $5. We need to track down who’s been supporting these trolls. An Alex Jones doesn’t just happen. He has not been flying by the seat of his pants!
    ed note–I/we appreciate the vote of confidence, but honestly, I think one of the indicators that we are on the mark is the fact that we only scrape in a few $ here and there, as opposed to people like Jones & co who are literally wallowing in ca$h like a giant hog.
    And yes, he has been helped by the enemy (albeit more likely than not anonymously) who have made sure to shower him with both flattery and money in steering him in the direction needed.
    What’s worse about all of this is that the signs were all there, from the beginning, and yet only few recognized it and even fewer listened when they were warned what was coming. Now we see it taking place full blown in exactly the manner as was originally predicted, but where is the ‘coming to Jesus’ moment within the ‘truth’ movement? Where is all the ‘wow, this is exactly what was predicted would happen years ago, and here it is’.
    Answer–nowhere. Instead we have the majority of ‘the movement’ screeching about ‘free speech’ and censorship’, not recognizing the permanent damage that Jones and Jonestown has done to all the hard work that was put into this.

  2. As bad as the court system is I think he will get his ass kicked as well. However he may get even more “popular”.

  3. Instead of wasting time on all these school shootings we really should be exposing the Holohoax as the biggest fraud that’s ever come down the pike once you start exposing that then you’re going to start exposing all the other things.
    ed note–the latest piece of inanity from ‘Wrong Again Rizoli’.
    The American people (and people around the world in general) don’t give a rat’s fuzzy ass about the Hollerco$t, and in the case of the Americans, it is something which they personally LOVE to believe in as much as they do the canard of them being the ‘freest’ people in the world. The Jews took that hill long ago and there ain’t no takin’ it back anytime soon and not even with the most well-founded/well-researched arguments, and for the simple reason that people simply DO NOT CARE to know.
    Hollerco$t revisionism is a niche market, extremely limited in the number of people who dabble in it and for any sane person claiming to be a ‘truther’ fighting the NWO to state with a straight face that devoting limited resources to fighting the lies of the Hollerco$t contains the magic formula for the defeat of our enemy borders on sheer lunacy as much as it does sheer stupidity.
    Once again–and not surprising at all, given things you have uttered in the past–you have missed the bigger point involving the entire AJ fiasco and Sandy Hook. Now, as a result of all of this, we simply CAN’T have a rational, productive discussion about the Hollerco$t, the USS LIBERTY, JFK, 9/11 or the rest of it because–exactly as yours truly and Mike Piper RIP warned years ago when this thing was just in its infancy–every micro-fiber of our already-limited credibility has been RIPPED TO SHREDS as a result of all this ‘Sandy Hook Hoax’ bullshit. As a ‘movement’, when we all had the opportunity of recognizing in the very beginning what was coming down the path later and the need for coming together in one voice to denounce and disarm this ticking time bomb, instead, half the ‘movement’ bought into it whole-hog and the other half simply sat back and tolerated it.
    And now we are witnessing the manner by which it is going to be used in strangling our collective capacity for generating any kind of awareness/consciousness about many important issues that affect/threaten our lives at both the collective and individual levels.
    But yeah, according to ‘Wrong Again Rizoli’, we are supposed to have a discussion about how the Hollerco$t never took place and this is going to be the key to our liberation.
    Beam me up Scotty.

  4. whoever Rizoli is, he is delusional. For any sane person to think that in the midst and aftermath of these highly-emotional massacres that suddenly, we should insert ourselves as a ‘movement’ into the discussions taking place about these tragedies and instead start a conversation about how the Hollow-caust ‘never happened’ indicates the manner by which he is not playing with a full deck of cards.
    Sad to say he is not alone as I run into this same sentiment a lot myself when talking with various characters making up ‘duh muuvmnt’ (as it is accurately described on this website from time to time) and merely shows how certain individuals within this group simply suffer from lack of intelligence and common sense.
