DANGER OF CONSPIRACY
Conspiracy theories can diminish faith in institutions and government, lead to distrust of science and medicine, and — even worse — inspire acts of violence. And conspiracy theories can be and are being used by those with political influence to shore up their power and mitigate opposition. Perhaps the reason conspiracy theories seem more powerful than ever is that a conspiracy theorist is now in the White House — a president who is a birther, an occasional vaccine truther, a climate change hoax believer who argued in 2016 that Ted Cruz’s father somehow assisted the assassin of John F. Kennedy.
1. ALEX JONES inspired “truthers” so crazy that death threats were a weekly occurrence.
2. The Sandy Hook 26, were crisis actors.
3. The slain children were not the biological children of the Sandy Hook activists.
4. An NYPD Sergeant terrorized actress/model Brooke Shields into thinking that Sandy Hook CenTer was not a group of 1st responders/ Memorial Volunteers, but were actually gun violence perpetrators.

To Us:
From Sandy Hook dad.
“For every battle you hear about, there are 20 that are not public”
“It is probably too much, but it has become a way of life and I forgot what any other way was like.”
“My original objective in 2014 was to “bring awareness to hoaxer activity” - people knew nothing about this phenomenon. Now people know. The first part has been accomplished."
"People in Newtown have been too shy to talk about it.”
“Glad to know you are not holding it in and letting them hurt you.“
Newtown hadn’t wanted to talk about all the abuse we’ve all suffered, but now those of us most terrorized are speaking up and out as a way to inform the public and for posterity.
For the Sandy Hook families, it’s about putting an end to their continued abuse, and hold those most responsible for their cruelty. For us, we have always spoken out! At first it was for followers, but then it became about actual justice and holding those that abuse their power accountable. In New York City alone, NYPD officers stalk, assault, vandalize, choke, and kill with impunity. To offset liability, abusive NYPD officers are even given promotions- like Sergeant Kevin Blake. After he was called out for perjury, he stalked, assaulted, and vandalized all while yelling homophobic slurs. But it wasn't until Sydney Aiello, Calvin Desir, and Jeremy Richman took their own lives that we reached out to our Senator, Brad Hoylman where we found humanity and decency in his assistant Jacob Priley.
*For the record it wasn't just Sandy Hook Center that had problems with Manhattan officials.
Losing a child is a fate worse than death. To then lose a child from senseless acts of gun violence destroys what little one has left. One would imagine that anyone harming such an individual would be met with ferocity. But, in New York that simply is NOT the case. The Manhattan DA by all accounts is for sale- a $25,000 campaign contribution can dissuade an investigation of fraudulent siblings, or look the other way for both Harvey Weinstein or Jeffrey Epstein. Had I understood NYC politics I would have given Cyrus B. Vance Jr. my Platinum card- I was quoted an extortion price of $75,000- $100,000. $25,000 would have been a welcomed deal! We, at Sandy Hook CenTer stood up to NY's abuse of power thinking we'd gain more support at Sandy Hook. We have gone from 100,000 likes/supporters/friends here to now just over 45,000,000+. We never thought for a minute our case could also be bartered. That said, we were the do-gooders answering the nation's call to do an act of kindness for Sandy Hook, so of course we'd have our share of conspiracists. But, for the Sandy Hook families to also be disregarded, discounted, and disrespected by Manhattan's officials it's something one cannot rap one's head around.
Why us, NOW?!
We will ensure the Democratic nominee has promised by Executive Order to sign the Senator Weinstein 1993 Assault Weapon Ban.
And personally, my conspiracist has cost me my sister and her two children I was helping to raise.
ANY AND ALL Action will cause a re-action.
Conspiracies are dangerous because they can claim lives and compromise ones safety.

THE GIVING PLEDGE
Two months prior to the Sandy Hook Elementary School Massacre, I attended a mutual friend's birthday party.
The party was at Bill's house- to the world, Bill is Bill Ackman, New York's Hedge-Fund genius/ boy-wonder. To me, he's the guy barbecuing my steak- who owned the beautiful South Hampton house, who just so happens to have a propensity for Japanese toilets. His wife Karen and I even joked about my needing my i-Phone's Siri to assist with instructions.
While my steak was cooking, Bill and I engaged in some small talk, and I proudly shared my 20year philanthropy addressing societal ills facing our children, and that I was a Banker by trade. Bill proceeded to share that he was a part of Bill and Melinda Gate's 2010 initiative that corralled 40 of Americas most affluent philanthropist together to solve the world's greatest troubles..
In just two months neither Bill, I or our entire world would be forever changed- a 20year old lone gunman shot and killed 26people, including 20 children between the ages of six and seven, and 6 educators before turning the gun on him self.
In 2009, I had just turned 42 when my sister had a little boy- Anthony John Daniel Rinaldi. She had asked me to help care for the little guy as both he and my sister were abandoned just two days home from hospital. Anthony was born at just 2lbs. 1oz. and was in need of constant care- for the nest 6months, my boy slept safe and sound on my chest. In 2012, the day of the Sandy Hook Elementary School Massacre, I looked into Anthony's little face, and felt compelled to do something- later that afternoon, we learned of a similar school shooting several years prior in Dunblane, Scotland. In 1996, a lone gunman shot and killed 16 children, all between the ages of six and seven years old.
The shooting prompted Dunblane, Scotland, and all of the UK to rally together and create common sense Gun Reform within a year.
Within an hour of learning about Dunblane's Primary School Massacre, and encouraged at what the U.K. was able to achieve, I knew America would have to be similarly responsible, and gave Bill a call. He in turn introduced me to his Pershing Square Foundation.
We would build a CenTer in Connecticut, and we had The Giving Pledge behind us to do it.

Actress/model Brooke Shields would use the above letters in a formal complaint in 2015 after Sergeant Kevin Blake of NYPD 6th Precinct terrorized her into thinking a perpetrator of gun violence was in her midst.
She would go on to say that the above mentioned "HENRY-" same HENRY given to Ms. Parker, Ms. Tyler, Mr. Jackman, Dr. Oz, and Mr. Cooper was "targeting' children.
SHE LIED.
The danger of conspiracy theories can diminish faith, lead to distrust, and — even worse — inspire acts of violence.

With Ms. Shields being a Sandy Hook Conspiracist, and Hallmark having already formed a partnership with Sandy Hook, Ms. Shields' mystery series was cut short by 3.
Hallmark had created the above ornaments at our request. They have also been sold in Hallmark stores across America ever since- when we finally break ground, the proceeds will have come in handy.

The pro-gun side inevitably will deflect and deter any common sense sentiment with hyperbole and undoubtedly spout of nonsensical antidotes/ conspracies. In fact, we’re in constant receipt of perplexing conspiracies and an occasional death threat. We’ve been told that the Sandy Hook children were crisis actors, the slain children are not biological, and subject of an NYPD Sergeant's opportunist forgery. They go as far to say that Sandy Hook hadn’t even a massacre. And still others say our mere existence is somehow inappropriate- and Sandy Hook shouldn't be our concern. Ensuring our children and citizens are safe is everyone's concern, and to do that will re-instate the Assault Weapon Ban. IT IS all our concern. |

Friends,
I’m truly touched that you would all honor our vision in your expressing your continued support- we currently are over45MILLION + friends & supporters.
My god, we’ve seen an exorbitant amount of trouble lately. To that I ask that we may all be kinder to each other. And as I vowed to myself as a kid if I should ever survive, I would never be ungrateful and that I would always be kind. That should I ever be in a position of influence, I would have it in me to use it for good. Some may ask me why. I say, why not me?
Humanity that has inspired me to see the world with enough compassion that I may want to do something about all of the unfair things I see in it. And that is why we are honoring the abused, and all the victims of violence. KathyRinaldiHope is a force for good that is very close to my heart.
When people envision humanity, they rarely comprehend what it actually means. To me, it means having to choose, and I chose humanity- I choose all of you, and our children without hesitation.
To some it may seem noble, or to others it may seem self indulgent and a bit circumstantial. It may also seem most appropriate given my circumstance and all I’ve survived. It’s also often frustrating given my recent opposition. With pride aside and my deepest humility I see no other paths. I do not seek recognition but I do not expect such reservations either. Helping or the sheer act of attempting to end such outrages should not cost ones’s life. Life may be given, it cannot however be taken or at least it should never be.
But it’s also the world in which I belong and I believe we all have accountability. I’m also told each person has the ability to create change and that we all matter. There are however good people and we should all try to do what’s right in our own small way- in the best way that we know how.
For those of you who have looked beyond yourself, you know exactly what I mean. Maybe I’m naive but I do believe in hope, I do still believe in magic, and I do believe in fairytales. I believe that they can exist if we really want them to. If we’re prepared to work hard enough.
I believe that the world will not always be full of hatred and conflict, if we’re willing to sacrifice enough. That is what this life means to me. And in a way, that’s why I am an advocate. I have no army. I wish ill on no one. I may bear some resistance to aggression, but I’m always trying to be better.
I’m still just me, I’m still here doing what I do, trying to make a little difference in the world in the best way that I know how. But it wouldn’t be real life, or it wouldn’t be the fairytale, if there wasn’t someone trying to destroy it, or crush it, simply because it doesn’t please them, or simply because they can.
I know that some think it’s their right to do so. But I don’t think anyone should have the right to crush happiness or hope when they see it. That’s not how I was raised. That’s not the world I wish to be a part of.
I believe in kindness. And I believe that it’s hope and love that can bring us together. It’s love that will make us put away our guns, and our politics, and our fears and our prejudices. And it’s love that will eventually make everything right. And that is why I’m going to continue to celebrate it, and I’m going to be willing to defend it. And hope that you will all do the same in your own way, out there in your own lives.
