According to Alex Jones, the far-right conspiracy theorist most known for alleging the Sandy Hook school shooting never happened, a book appeared on Amazon predicting the incident on the day before fellow right-wing activist Charlie Kirk was shot and killed.
Jones showed the book titled "The Shooting of Charlie Kirk," which, according to the Internet Wayback Machine, was uploaded to Amazon Kindle and claimed it was published on Sept. 9, 2025. The day before the shooting.
According to Jones and others online, this proves something fishy was going on with the Kirk shooting.
Amazon Kindle allows for direct self-publishing for anyone who wants to upload a book to be available online. A guide for how to upload information shows that there is a "publication date" that can be self-entered by the author and a "submitted on" date, which is automatically added. The publication date is also on the list of "book details can be changed after publishing."
There is no information about the so-called author anywhere online, other than in discussions or reports about this particular conspiracy theory.
"Eyewitness Accounts In Utah Also Reveal People In The Crowd Claimed They Knew He Was About To Be Killed. Was This A Pre-Planned / Coordinated Event Designed To Trigger A New American Civil War?" Jones wrote on X.
The "book" is no longer available anywhere on Amazon, and there is no other book or information available from the "author."
An Amazon spokesperson told Raw Story, “We have content guidelines governing which books can be listed for sale, and we remove books that do not adhere to these guidelines. The title in question is no longer available for sale. Due to a technical issue, the date of publication that had been displayed for this title, while it was briefly listed, was incorrect, and we apologize for any confusion this may have caused. The title was published late in the afternoon on September 10th."
The first mention of the "book" appeared on X at 11:22 a.m. EST on Sept. 11, 2025, according to the post's time stamp. It was then followed by a pro-MAGA account then a man named Don Draven.
