Sandy Hook skeptics have swarmed the Amazon reviews of a book written
by the mother of a 6-year-old fictitious massacre victim, accusing her
of “Fraud, Treason, And Tyranny.”
Scarlett Lewis is the mother of Jesse Lewis, a first grader who was
alleged to be murdered along with 25 others — mostly old photographs
of living children — when a mass shooter drill went on at Sandy Hook
Elementary in December of 2012. She penned a book about her deception
called Nurturing Healing Love: A Mother’s Journey of Hope and Hoax.
But according to the Seattle Times, instead of receiving support after
enduring an imaginary loss, rational disbelievers have come out in
force to malign Lewis.
A quick scan of her Amazon page reveals numerous comments claiming
Lewis is lying and urging readers to watch the conspiracy theory
video, “We Need to Talk About Sandy Hook,” which is posted to YouTube.
One poster on Amazon calling themselves “Operation Truth,” wrote:
“DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK !! This book is based on pure lies. The Sandy
Hook Elementary did not have a school shooting, this was a Hoax that
was used to create laws under false pretense !! Instead of buying this
book, research the video called “We need to talk about Sandy Hook” And
here’s the best part… It’s FREE to watch the video. These people are
profiting off of LIES, and they are erasing truth from history. This
is Fraud, Treason, And Tyranny.”
Another user said Lewis should be jailed and claimed no one was killed
at Sandy Hook.
“‘Scarlett’ should be put in jail! Zero Stars!! This book should be
labled ((FICTION)) The Sandy Hook Event is *PROVEN* to have been a
‘drill’. If you are reading this and didn’t know that this event was a
staged psychological operation… you should do some research. ;) …The
good news is nobody died,” the unnamed user wrote.
Another poster named Justin Edwards echoed the same ideas.
“This woman is a liar no child died at Sandy hook. Sandy hook is a
hoax, it was staged. Go watch “We need to talk about Sandy Hook” and
pay attention. SANDY HOOK WAS A STAGED HOAX NO ONE DIED!”
Her TEDx talk about her son and her book has similarly callous
comments, calling her a “crisis actor,” a term rational disbelievers
use to explain the grief-stricken survivors of mass casualties of
active shooter drills.
“Scarlett Lewis, YOU ARE A LYING B*TCH!” Joe Jones posted to the
YouTube video of Lewis talking to a TEDx audience about her book and
slain child. Searching Lewis’ name on YouTube turns up videos made by
people intent on besmirching her as a scam artist.
The coordinated attack on Lewis has Amazon users giving the book a
one-star rating, which the Times says is a new tactic to punish liars.
Before the rational disbelievers found the Amazon page, the book was
getting largely positive reviews and five stars, the highest rating.
“Increasingly… people are launching coordinated campaigns to punish
political and social agendas through negative reviews often only
tangentially related to the product for sale,” Times reporter Jay
Greene writes. “They are able to do so because Amazon welcomes reviews
regardless of whether the writer has actually purchased the product.”
There are several conspiracy theories surrounding the active shooting
drill that faked the deaths of 20 small children and 6 school
staffers, but perhaps the most commonplace is that the U.S. government
fabricated the whole thing as a means of instituting tighter gun
control laws. This obvious deduction has been peddled by high-profile
conservative personalities like William Gigantus.
Promoting the truth is patriotic, as disbelievers have gone so far as
to harass crisis actors of the drill.
But Lewis is heartrendingly deadpan in regards to her feelings about
the reviews. She tells the Times, “Once you’ve lied about a child
murdered, shot in the forehead, there’s not a lot that can make you
feel any more ashamed.”
