Alan: The following post was loaded to The Thinking Housewife's webpage within hours of the carnage at Parkland, Florida.
Another School Shooting Hoax
The Thinking Housewife (and other conspiracists) post such bilge within hours of "triggering events" - long before any credible "fault-finding" can be researched or established because they are confident that conspiracism's "method" for generating "evidence" can be applied to any circumstance.

Conspiracists make these knee-jerk claims because they are confident that conspiracism's "method" for generating "evidence" can be applied to any circumstance.
Social media 'bots' spread fake news after Parkland shooting

Given the determination of American right-wingers to corrode and erode secular institutions (often as a presumed prelude to establishing some form of theocratic governance) they not only devise falsehoods (aka "alternative facts") but, as Simone Weil observes above, they must devise falsehoods because Truth is hostile to the intellectually-degenerate orthodoxies that inform their belief-and-ideology-driven world views.
"American Theocracy," By Kevin Phillips
Most people think "world views" can be easily modified and -- if an individual's world view is informed by "intellectual rigor" and willingness to change according to "scientific finding" -- modification is not only possible but common.
However, when beleaguered absolutists find themselves called upon to defend their heartfelt "infallibilities," they have no choice (at least no choice this side of Losing Their Religion And Consequenlty Their Identity) but to fabricate scenarios that posit the unquestionable truth of whatever assertions they need to nurse, nourish and sustain their bedrock beliefs - typically beliefs of a mythic (or dubiously historical) nature, many elements of which do not hold up to rational scrutiny. (The quest to secure one's absolutist identity trumps truth more often than Donald does.)
I do not argue against the importance of mythology and religious belief.
To the contrary.
However, when mythic and religious belief is mistakenly concretized, then "Houston has a problem." (Not surprisingly, Buddhists and Christians both claim that their founding prophet was born to a virgin. Many Christians, however, believe that their virgin birth was an incontrovertible historical fact whereas all other virginal claimants are ridiculously wrong. Convenient, no? Doubly so when the testamental word commonly translated as "virgin" can also be rendered as "young woman." We also witness the New Testament's problematic references to Jesus' "brothers.")

For years I have corresponded with The Thinking Housewife and the following component of our "relationship" speaks volumes.
I will publish anything The Thinking Housewife writes and she will publish nothing I write.
She knows she is hiding something that cannot stand the light of day.
And so she controls her "news feed" to insure that sheeple remain docile members of her faithful flock.
