When you wrote "wheres the video" what video are you asking for?
The articles you provided don't really offer any attempt at "debunking", so I'll respond to the original Salon.com article from which all other similar articles stem. Basically, it is a reply to the hyper-popular thirty minute "Sandy Hook - Fully Exposed" video that got over ten million hits. I believe that the video in question was created as disinformation precisely so it could be easily debunked.
Below I will gloss over the individual points of the article and show how they mislead and ignore real questions. Here is the original propaganda piece:
http://www.salon.com/2013/01/18/your...piracy_theory/
1. "Why aren’t the adults sadder?"
Salon's answer to this question is a simple "People mourn in many different ways...", and they dare to suggest that the reactions of the parents were genuine because a "scientist" said so.
B-b-b-b-bullshit.
The parents and family members are not just "not sad", they are exuberant! Even when they try to act sad, they shed no tears. ZERO tears have been shed by family members. ZERO. Oh wait, not only has there been no crying, they have actually pretended to cry. There has been more emotion from bystanders. Sure, I concede that people react to situations in different ways, but this argument quickly collapses upon itself once you consider that every single person involved in this farce has reacted the same exact way: with zero true emotions. Odds, please? Compare this Columbine interview:

They aren't just actors, they are cult members. They exhibit classic signs of dissociated mind slaves who lack empathy and emotion. Even actors can cry. If you can show me one single tear shed by a family member so far, I will concede my delusion. And oh yeah, most of them moved to Newtown within the last two years.
Here’s some more grieving parent fiction:

2. "What about Emilie?"
Salon references the "conspiracy" that Emilie Parker is pictured with the President after the shooting wearing the same dress from a previous family picture. The girl in the photo is obviously Emilie's supposed sister. The real question is why did they put the girl in her murdered sister's dress? I believe it was intentionally done to make the conspiracy theorists look foolish. It is one of the most prolific strawmen being used by the media. It’s called distraction.
They also address the alleged Photoshopping of a Parker family photo and pretty much blow it off (the picture of Emilie flashing the Baphomet sign is another strawman, it’s more misdirection). Of course, they conveniently link this unrelated topic (because it is one of the greatest pieces of evidence) to the Emilie Parker switcheroo so that readers will casually dismiss it. Well, the photo is Photoshopped, but in this photo it is hard to see for the untrained eye. But what the mainstream media will NEVER address is the FACT that most every photo of the victims IS Photoshopped. Here are some of the more blatant examples. Please prove me wrong. All of these photos were either released by the media or family facebook pages.
Vicki Soto and her "best friend":

These examples are only a fraction of what’s available. If these photos are faked, and they are, the question appears… Why fake them?
3. “Why do they all look the same?”
Salon attempts to inject humor with this cursory explanation: “Not all women with brown hair are the same person.”
Another strawman. It takes attention away from the fact that a lot of people involved are not really who they say they are. The most obvious example is the curious case of Nick and Laurie Phelps (a confirmed actress):

They are actually Richard Sexton and Jennifer Sexton-Greenberg from Florida:

And it gets better!
The children of Richard and Jennifer Sexton are pretending to be the family of teacher Vicki Soto!

4. “But what about the rifle?”
“It was the rifle!”, “The rifle was in the trunk.”, “It was a shotgun in the trunk!”
The account of what firearms were used changed constantly. It should have been a pretty easy thing to figure out. It’s interesting that the rifle was said to have been in the trunk early in the day (when it was still daylight, remember the coroner video?), but they didn’t show the video of them taking the shotgun out of the trunk until much later (the video is at night). *cough*bullshit*cough* They conveniently turned the shotgun into another strawman, and we’ll never know the truth.
But I digress… this issue only obscures the real firearm question... WHERE ARE THE PICTURES OF THEM?
5. “How come the memorial pages were created before the shooting?”
Salon explains that’s it’s merely a product of Google glitches (strawman). Conveniently, they disregard the fact that many of the post date discrepancies are on individual websites (including Facebook), and have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH GOOGLE.
I won’t go any farther into this issue as I feel that there are bigger fish to fry.
6. “What about the car?”
This issue is far from debunked.
Here is the police radio:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETkrxfYoQtc
30:15 – Officer asks for license plate to be run: “872 YEO”
30:40 – Dispatch spells his name “Christopher A. Rodia”. Birth date “AUG 6 ‘69”.
Here is the picture of the car reported as Lanza’s:
http://news.yahoo.com/photos/car-dri...213310925.html
The documentary at the beginning of this thread handles the topic quite well.
7. “What about the man in the woods?”
Salon: “It was Chris Manfredonia, the father of a 6-year-old who attends the school. He was on his way to the school to make gingerbread houses with first-graders when he heard gunfire and smelled sulfur, so he ran.”
What Salon fails to mention is that he was supposed to be there at 2pm per his wife. If this was a mistake and he was there on time (four hours early), where were the other parents? He also lives 500 yards away from the Lanza residence. Why was he running with another man? He heard gunshots, so he ran AWAY from where his daughter was to hide in the woods? Sorry, not buying it.
8. “But there was another man in the woods (maybe)”
Not maybe. The video shows it all. There are two men.
Salon explains: “Actually, he was, according to the Newtown Bee, ‘an off-duty tactical squad police officer from another town’ who heard the gunfire.”
This is the same Newtown Bee that quoted the dead principal (see point 12)? And why exactly was this tactical squad officer even there (the whole event happened in minutes)? Why did he run? Too many questions, no answers.
9. “What about the third man at the firehouse?”
Who knows? We never will. Let’s move on.
10. “Then why did some eyewitnesses report multiple shooters?”
Because there were?
Salon cites “stress and confusion”. I’m more inclined to believe that to find the truth in any event like this, you must dissect the initial moments before information can become organized and controlled.
