Las Vegas: Americans Deserve Better Than Yet Another False Narrative
DB Daily Update ^ | 10.3.2017 | David Blackmon

Posted on 10/03/2017 5:03:33 AM PDT by EyesOfTX

In Las Vegas, authorities continue to search for a motive for the mass shooting. Even though ISIS took credit for the assault, claiming the man was a recent convert to Islam, the LVPD and other investigating agencies claim to have found no evidence yet to support any terrorist affiliation. ISIS also took credit for a casino attack earlier this year which authorities believe was actually a botched robbery, so there is reason to be skeptical of the group’s claim in this case.

Already, an official narrative is becoming clear in this case. Such narratives always follow a familiar line in these mass murder cases and assassinations: the guy was a “loner”, he “kept to himself”, he was “just a regular guy”, and no one in his family, none of his friends, nor anyone in his neighborhood had any idea at all that he was a raging psychopath. Yep, this guy had somehow accumulated an arsenal roughly equivalent to that of the Bulgarian Army, and spent four days carting firearms and ammunition into his suite at the Mandalay Bay, and nobody had any idea that he was up to something.

Folks, I can’t take a walk without 15 people in my neighborhood knowing about it. This guy lived in a closely-packed retirement community filled with nosy senior citizens. But we are supposed to believe that he was able to build a stockpile of firearms and explosives that would fill your local National Guard Armory and nobody had any idea.

59 Americans are dead as I write this. Many more remain in critical condition at Las Vegas hospitals. More than 500 were wounded in the assault. These victims, their families and other loved ones, the people of Las Vegas and everyone else in America deserve to learn the truth about what happened.

This makes no sense. Even retirement community houses have attached garages. He buys a gun or two, puts it in his trunk, drives it home and into the garage, closes garage door, takes gun(s) in house. No neighbors know a thing about it.

I’ve lived in that kind of neighborhood. It makes all kinds of sense. Any good cop will tell you that somebody always knows something in cases like this, especially family members and neighbors. We’re just getting started with this investigation. If the FBI doesn’t try to suppress it, we will find out all sorts of things about this guy in the coming days and weeks.

The story stinks.

Elites are hiring the wrong false-flag scriptwriters.

The crisis actor with the “buddy” who was shot in the chest three times, but had no blood on him is the funniest.

Notice now his accommodations have been upgraded from a ‘room’ to a SUITE. When something smells in Denmark, after searching, usually it is found the stench comes from dead fish...but WHICH dead fish?

Not a defense of Hillary but she is a near-invalid. A drunk. A forgetful old Luddite who was so ignorant of technology that she allowed it to derail her presidential campaign and put her closest aide’s husband in jail.

Both Hillary and Chelsea’s tweets and other messaging are handled by a load of bitchy women and homosexuals on their so-called comms team. The Clintons may generate or approve them but for the most part they can’t be fussed to deal with the details which they regard as ‘little people’ duty.

We need to keep in mind that the initial reports from any politically significant crime scene are ALWAYS a false narrative, as in they are deficient of facts, and therefore are always suspect. This time is no different.

We also need to realize that the initial reports almost always favor the liberals in their interpretation - that is a function of the overwhelming liberal mindset of the media, IMO.

Finally, and this is the dangerous part, we need to ensure that a full and fair hearing of the facts of the matter are eventually allowed to become public. Imagine if the facts surrounding Trayvon Martin’s death were never made public - the false narrative would have stood unopposed.

We are not going to get the truth. They locked up all info on the guy better this time before releasing his name. They have sent computers of to Quantico....we are not going to get the truth.

Keep asking questions everybody.

We are being handed a load of crap and being told to like it.

After 8 years of Obama, there is nothing trustworthy coming out of government.

I think one of two things is going on...

Either authorities are protecting the political/social party this guy belongs to, or...

They are denying ISIS their victory dance.

Either way, this narrative we are being fed really stinks.

Totally agree with that last point. We will get no useful information from those computers now that the FBI has custody of them.

Plus it’s only the author’s supposition that he used his home to store this stockpile of weapons anyway. He could have property elsewhere, be renting a storage container or something.

Per his brother’s account, he would often leave home and drive to Vegas. Who’s to say that’s where he actually went, as opposed to where he just said he went?

Investigations can take time to pull together all the details. Calling ‘conspiracy’ because all the pieces of the puzzle aren’t in place after just 48hrs seems a mite premature.

Kindly suspend your sense of reason. Isn't it obvious that the guy was converted to Islam by his Indonesian (well... actually Filipina) girlfriend and was a left wing, trump hating, pussy-hat wearing ANTIFA supporter? (Note caps, note lack of sources.)

Can't you see that he would have had to rent a semi to haul all those weapons and ammo to the hotel, then used a pallet jack to move it up to the 32nd floor in a freight elevator? This would have taken at least 10 accomplices!

None of this even takes into account that the Mandalay Bay was opened in 1999 - in preparation for Y2K!

Did you realize that there are restaurants in the hotel called "Red Square" and "Border Grill Las Vegas"? If that doesn't point to a Russian conspiracy using illegal immigrants, what does!

And the address - 3950 Las Vegas Boulevard - has anyone even begun to investigate the numerology associated with 3950!??? (Note exclamation point and multiple question marks.)

Alas we are doomed to put up with at least six months worth of pointless conspiracy theories, apparently focusing on various allusions to "second gunman theory" from the Kennedy assassination - and by the way, the guy used to manage an apartment building in Mesquite, TX, just an hours drive from the Texas School Book Depository in Dallas???!!!

My opinion is that this guy was used as a stooge. He was throwing around money a few days before the massacre. If you recall,the 911 hijackers were partying and drinking a few days before the hijackings. When he served his purpose and the cops were closing in he was executed by his Muslim “brothers.” This was not random. This was a thought out terror attack on white,flag waving, conservative Americans.

“Can’t you see that he would have had to rent a semi to haul all those weapons and ammo to the hotel, then used a pallet jack to move it up to the 32nd floor in a freight elevator?” Why? Depending on the size of the rifle cases these guns could fit in the trunk of the car. Or he could have hidden them in a golf bag. Hidden in a golf bag he could have gotten them to his room in two trips. 5k rounds would easily fit in a suit case. Divided between two or three suitcases it would have been easy to take them to the room. Suitcases and golf bags don’t get a second look in Vegas.

I sure would like to see the Hotel Video of this guy taking everything up to his room, roughly 500 lbs of equipment and Ammo. The whole story stinks to high heaven

What did Country Music do to the CIA to make them do this??

We live in a neighborhood of mainly couples or singles 50 years old and up. It’s not a retirement community, but the types of homes (1600 to 2500 sq ft with relatively small yards) attract that demographic. There are almost no children in the neighborhood.

We know very little about our neighbors directly around us and this is not unusual for this neighborhood. Our HOA requires our garage doors to be closed at all times except when entering/exiting, the HOA does the front yard landscaping, homeowners are not allowed to wash their cars or work on their cars in their driveways. At least half of us have homes with front court yards with locking gates. So even if we wanted to be more chummy with our neighbors, the logistics of doing so makes this more difficult.
