Leonard “Lenny” Pozner, 47, is the biological father of Noah Pozner, one of the first-graders allegedly shot dead by Adam Lanza at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Newtown, Connecticut, on Dec. 14, 2012.
Curiously, Lenny did not attend his slain son’s funeral. Instead, after the Jewish shiva mourning period, Lenny skipped Noah’s funeral and instead “went to be with family in Florida.” (Source: Forward)
Lenny is unique among the parents and families of Sandy Hook victims in the aggressive way he’s gone after people who are skeptical of the official account of the Sandy Hook shooting. In addition to decrying the skeptics in a newspaper op/ed, Lenny is using a company called HONR Network which he’d set up expressly for the purpose, to remove any image of Noah from blogs and YouTube on the grounds of copyright violation, although the Facebook page Lenny had created to commemorate his son– — has scores of Noah’s images, which means those images are in the public domain.
Dutchsince is one of the bloggers hounded by Lenny. Here’s Dutchsince’s account:
Yesterday, a Sandy Hook ($andy Crook) family member came to a video I made and filed a false copyright claim against it because I’m showing a google search containing something they don’t like.
Video they flagged: (dead link) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwi3KmF0luc
The man filing the false claims of copyright goes by many names, the name associated with the COMPANY (which filed the claim against me) is Leonard Pozner (age 47 from Newtown CT). HONR Network is his company which specializes in getting content removed from the internet which they don’t approve of.
…I tried to file a dispute against his false claim, and youtube would NOT allow a dispute to be filed. First time I’ve seen this in over 4 years of making videos….
Filing a claim of copyright theft (by the Sandy Hook family) is a public accusation of a crime being committed.
The fact that I cannot dispute this means that even though I committed no crime, I have been deemed guilty by the person accusing me of the crime. I now have to get a lawyer and sue to have this accusation of a crime removed.
If I agree, or let this go, it stands as a copyright crime / violation for life. I have to counter sue (in actual court not on youtube) to have my name cleared….
People are LETTING this Sandy Hook family walk all over our rights, all because they supposedly lost someone? Do we let victims of crimes determine our free speech rights? Crime victims can be unreasonable, reactionary, and sometimes downright crazy in their behavior.
Lenny’s harassment and intimidation of blogger and college student Timothy Hunter is especially reprehensible. Hunter’s youtube and email were blocked (see his tweet below); he no longer blogs; and Hunter is now so spooked, he won’t even communicate with me although he and I had collaborated on an important post, “Sandy Hook deception: Associated Press stories & photos predate the massacre.”
Lenny also went after this blog, Fellowship of the Minds (FOTM).
He prevailed on WordPress, FOTM’s server, to take down Noah’s pictures, without even notifying me first. WordPress also repeatedly threatened to shut down FOTM for violating Lenny’s copy right claims, despite FOTM’s Fair Use disclaimer as a not-for-profit site. WordPress also removed from FOTM the address and phone number of Lenny’s HONR Network company, although:
- HONR’s address is public information that anyone can find by “googling” HONR Network.
- HONR Network has its address on its Contact page.
Curiously, Lenny is incurious about why an image of his son was included on a wall-poster commemorating the victims of a Taliban shooting in the Army Public School in Peshawar, Pakistan, on Dec. 16, 2014. (See “Dead again: Sandy Hook child victim Noah Pozner also killed in Pakistan Taliban shooting!” and “BBC admits but will not investigate why pic of Sandy Hook’s Noah Pozner is among Peshawar massacre victims”)
Back to Lenny Pozner’s company, HONR Network.
Here’s the information Dutchsince found:
Although HONR Network is listed as a business, it conducts no buying or selling; nor does it have a store front. As you can see above, HONR Network has only a P.O. Box address, which is why Dutchsince calls it a “‘fictional’ entity created to harass others online under the GUISE of corporate law.”
Some have wondered how Lenny has the resources to set up HONR Network and the time to go after bloggers and YouTubers. There are speculations that HONR Network may be a front for a government operation.
Wonder and speculate no more, for lo and behold, if you go to http://www.honr.com or type HONR.COM into your browser, and hit “enter”, you’ll be directed to a federal government website — that of the National Security Agency (NSA)!
I did that yesterday and have the following screenshot to prove I did.

UPDATE:
Minutes after Id published this post, a friend emailed me that the HONR link no longer redirects to the NSA. Good thing I took the screenshot!
