Alex Jones claims ‘psychosis’ made him lie about Sandy Hook

A perennial discussion point in Hoaxtead Research’s comments section for the past four years has been the “mad versus bad” debate: are those who promote the Hampstead SRA hoax motivated by mental illness, malevolent intent, or some combination of the two? Yesterday we learned that U.S.-based high-profile conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has plumped for the…

What if they held a coup and nobody noticed?

How to sum up the past couple of days, following the deportation of would-be king Hoani John Wanoa, who seems to have set up semi-permanent residence on a bench at Hong Kong International Airport? Andy Devine, who at first seemed downcast by the utter balls-up of their grand plans for world domination, seemed to collect…

Angela takes a break?

Nearly a year after her last alleged “retirement” from stalking and loudly defaming a person involved with the Hampstead SRA hoax, Angela Power-Disney has once against announced that she is withdrawing from the fray. The news came first from Anthony G. Pike, who announced it yesterday: News just in from our beloved ‘X-Girl’, Angela Disney,…

Did Ella really want her children back?

Last week we took a look at a new-old audio recording made by Abraham Christie and Ella Draper back in the days when they still harboured a naïve belief that they might be able to salvage the Hampstead hoax dumpster fire and turn it to their advantage. As with much of the evidence concerning this…

Abraham Christie’s criminal record

Last week EC did an interview with William Ramsey, in which they discussed the Hampstead SRA hoax. Ramsey was an excellent host, well-informed and reasoned in his approach. It’s safe to say, though, that this interview was not universally popular amongst Ramsey’s usual followers, some of whom grew quite heated in defending Abe and Ella…

The Ballad of John & Andy

It’s being called “the Wellington boot”, a “botched putsch”: yesterday, having spent hundreds of donors’ pounds to get to the UK, Hoani John Wanoa, the would-be king of England, was unceremoniously popped back on the next plane back to Auckland, NZ. Wanoa, whose plans had included overthrowing Queen Elizabeth II and installing himself as King…

Hampstead SRA hoax timeline update, part 2

Last week we began the task of updating the timeline of the Hampstead SRA hoax. This is a continuation of that process, beginning with the events following Sabine McNeill’s involvement in the case in November 2014, and ending with the Pauffley judgment. Our goal is to integrate information gleaned from Sabine’s 2018 trial, as well…

Jon Wedger bites off more than he can chew

You’ll recall that ex-Metropolitan Police officer and self-proclaimed whistle-blower Jon Wedger recently expressed his displeasure that we have been asking him awkward questions about some of his claims. As if to drive the point home, he blocked EC on Twitter for daring to question him…and then asked, “Why is Hoaxtead so mean to me?” (or…

Hampstead SRA hoax timeline, updated (again)

Yes, it’s time for another hoax update timeline, oh huzzah, let the bells ring out. In the four years since Sabine McNeill first released the videos of two children making extraordinary claims about a “cult” run by their father, which included everybody at their school (except their mother), the story of the hoax’s genesis has…

Is Wedger really meeting the Archbishop of Canterbury?

We were startled a couple of days ago when ex-Metropolitan Police officer and self-proclaimed “whistle-blower” Jon Wedger announced in his typically modest and unassuming way that he had been invited to a meeting with no less a personage than the Archbishop of Canterbury. He placed this notice on Twitter: No mistake about it, that’s the…
