Fake news channels are spreading the far-right conspiracy that none of the kids killed in the Uvalde shooting are real. The lie is part of a larger conspiracy that the shooting was orchestrated by the federal government.
An eight-minute video circulating on several popular channels of Telegram, which allows users to broadcast messages to public and private audiences, falsely asserts that none of the victims are real because there are no public records available documenting any of their births. However, the state of Texas doesn’t publicly release birth records for anyone born within the past 75 years, except when requested by family members, authorized legal representatives or the persons themselves, according to the Texas Department of Health and Human Services.
Among the many lies in the Telegram video, it continues to push the idea that the same type of fabrication happened during the Sandy Hook shooting in 2012. About 15 seconds into the video, white text appears on a black background, stating that no records exist of any of the 26 students murdered in Newton, Connecticut, during what remains the second-deadliest school shooting in U.S. history.
The suggestion that none of the children killed during these massacres existed aims to convince people that the shootings were actually orchestrated by the federal government—often referred to as ‘false flag’ operations.
