"Nobody Died at Sandy Hook" publisher apologizes to dad of murdered boy

The father of a victim of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre has won a defamation lawsuit against the authors of a book that claimed the shooting never happened — the latest victory for victims' relatives who have been taking a more aggressive stance against conspiracy theorists.

The book, "Nobody Died at Sandy Hook," has also been pulled to settle claims against its publisher filed by Lenny Pozner, whose 6-year-old son Noah was killed in the shooting.

"My face-to-face interactions with Mr. Pozner have led me to believe that Mr. Pozner is telling the truth about the death of his son," Dave Gahary, the principal officer at publisher Moon Rock Books, said Monday. "I extend my most heartfelt and sincere apology to the Pozner family."

A judge in Wisconsin on Monday issued a summary judgment against authors James Fetzer and Mike Palacek.

2. Fetzer had said "evidence clearly shows this wasn't a massacre, it was a FEMA drill."

I can't believe this went on for so long before it finally went to court.


...........Wisconsin's Dane County Circuit Court Judge Frank Remington ruled Monday that Pozner had been defamed by Fetzer and Palacek, whose book claimed, among other things, that Noah's death certificate had been faked, according to Pozner's lawyer, Jake Zimmerman. A trial to decide damages has been set for October.

"If Mr. Fetzer wants to believe that Sandy Hook never happened and that we are all crisis actors, even that my son never existed, he has the right to be wrong. But he doesn't have the right to broadcast those beliefs if they defame me or harass me," Pozner said. "He doesn't have the right to use my baby's image or our name as a marketing ploy to raise donations or sell his products. He doesn't have the right to convince others to hunt my family."

Before the case went to a judge, Fetzer had said "evidence clearly shows this wasn't a massacre, it was a FEMA drill."

"If you believe otherwise, then you are being played," Fetzer said at the time.

A redacted copy of the actual death certificate is attached to Pozner's lawsuit. Additionally, Pozner has had DNA samples taken and compared with those provided by the Connecticut medical examiner to prove that Noah was his son. He has put Noah's birth certificate, report cards and medical records into the public file in his legal actions.

3. James Fetzer is a major dealer in JFK assassination, Paul Wellstone and 9/11 bullshit as well

9. It's spooky how much the left overlaps the right...

Follow someone on the extreme left and sooner or later they'll be positioned on the extreme right in some capacity.

Just look at how popular Glenn Greenwald was a decade ago on DU - or Julian Assange.

a proper time for the old public pillories in the center of town, THESE CLOWNS would be the perfect people to place there!

6. Another non-apology

"My face-to-face interactions with Mr. Pozner have led me to believe that Mr. Pozner is telling the truth about the death of his son,"

Nowhere does he say that he's sorry for writting this horrible book, or that the Sandy Hook shooting actually happened, just that he believes that one child is actually dead.

7. Fetzer had a bunch of fans on DU

for his "work" on the Paul Wellstone accident and 9/11.

8. Fetzer and Polachek have other books out.

I just looked up Fetzer at Amazon, he and Polachek have other books out that are actually worse, if that's possible.

One claims to have "evidence" that Saddam Hussein wasn't hanged, that Paul McCartney did actually die in 1966, the Moon landing didn't happen, and neither did the Holocaust.

10. James Fetzer still doesn't take ownership...

What a despicable piece of shit.
