A vague post with no exact dates... and all the commenter in that thread, rightly call the OP a conspiracy kook.

Anyone who has administrative access to that site can throw those posts in the database or manually put together the HTML to show them.

Very easy.

Most likely the hoaxter had a copy of the forum website forum software running on a local server or a private host. Pretty sloppy, though. Even though the post dates are all dated 12/10/2012, if you scroll down to the very bottom page, the copyright says 2013. The page was clearly made after the December shootings.

Ha! Good catch.

Couldn't be on a local server though, Google wouldn't cache it under that address.

Thanks!

Your're right about the Google cache, though. I didn't think of that.

Has anyone bothered to register to see the actual locked post instead of this weird "google cache" situation. Anything on the internet is easily faked, and this forum could have been faked as well.

It is fake -

- you expect me to believe that not only a conspiracy, but that some person would be able to post the conspiracy online
- that the date is known what? 2 years in advanced down to the month? (prior to Obama re-election)
- that the person knows that conneticut is involved?
- that the conspiracy people don't change their plans


Look it looks like a duck, it smells like a duck. Even the lame people responding to it fit the vague "feel our persecution" pain of any conspiracy kook wants to believe.

If you buy this post, I've got swampland in flordia for sale on the cheap.

UPDATED - Good Catch on the copyright. . way to prove me right
