Tea party preacher: Sandy Hook massacre orchestrated to pass U.N. arms treaty

One of former Senator Rick Santorum’s (R-PA) new co-workers at conspiracy website World Net Daily insisted this week that the U.S. government orchestrated the Sandy Hook Elementary school massacre in order to support the United Nation’s Small Arms Treaty.

Although he didn’t present any concrete evidence to support his allegation, the heavy metal drummer, ordained minister and tea party enthusiast Bradlee Dean began his essay by quoting famed Nazi Dr. Josef Mengele.

Then he noted that the Sandy Hook shootings happened “just days after Sen. Rand Paul [R-KY] sent out an alert that the U.N. was set to pass the final version of the Small Arms Treaty, supported by Obama the day after the election.”

After misstating the treaty’s provisions by claiming it would outlaw all semi-automatic rifles, Dean added that the mass murders in Aurora, Colorado “also happened to coincide with the same time as negotiations of the U.N. Small Arms Treaty.”
