The Las Vegas Shooting Is Still Very, Very Strange
National Review ^ | October 17, 2017 | by DAVID FRENCH

Posted on 10/17/2017 2:59:25 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Before I begin, let me re-emphasize what I stated in a post the afternoon after the shooting. Do not read this post as implying any sort of conspiracy theory. In fact, even now — more than two weeks after the terrible event — we don’t even know enough facts to concoct a conspiracy. We do know, however, that the story keeps getting more bizarre.

The fact that a man could plan one of the worst mass murders in American history and do so without leaving the typical trail of clues and intentions is deeply unsettling. Time and again when mass shooters strike, they leave a trail of bread crumbs — whether they’re deteriorating mentally or radicalizing (or both), the warning signs are often obvious and warnings have often been given. Not this time.

To be sure, the police know more than the public, and perhaps they know or strongly suspect the motive and haven’t yet disclosed it, but to experience this level of ignorance so many days after a mass shooting is highly unusual. There’s no cause for conspiracy theories, but there’s ample cause for curiosity and confusion. A strange shooting remains very, very strange.

So strange in fact the propagandists have kept the Harvey Weinstein story out there ad nauseum.

As Bob Dylan once wrote, “The only thing we knew for sure about Henry Porter was that his name wasn’t really Henry Porter...” Something stinks.

Well, the girl that works at Rings and Things and Candles down at the mall said her best friend said the her ex BF said that his cousin heard that the FBI have records of two phone calls from D.C. that this guy received ten minutes before he begin to shoot. Just sayin.

No press conference in how many days? Something definitely stinks..the Sheriff looked like he was about to have a nervous breakdown at the last one.
& now Campos using someone else social? aka illegal.
DACA recipient too?
& what about all the insider trading in Sept? CEO Murren sold 80% of his shares?? Oh & he just happens to be a big Obama/Hillary supporter..other shady connections as well.
Way too many holes in this story.

...Paddock flying to Phoenix on September 19th and driving back the same day in a rental car.

This is exactly what someone would do if they were making a delivery.

” I still can’t figure out what exactly the CIA has against Country Music.”

Well it’s not REAL country music like the good ole days. Pop country- that’s the CIA’s beef with it.

I suspect the police know a lot more than they are saying.

The FBI was engaged in a conspiracy to cause a mass slaughter at The Pam Geller / Robert Spencer "Draw mohamed" free speech event at Garland TX.

Only the actions of a single police officer (possibly off duty and hired as security for the event) prevented multiple deaths and casualties.

Then there's Fast & Furious.

Is it beyond possibility that the Deep State and their foot soldiers in the alphabet agencies are involved with this one?

No!

Some things we know for sure: if he was a Republican or Trump voter or a Christian or an NRA member, we’d have heard about it toute suite.

The silence we get instead tells us something, doesn’t it?

My take so far:

1. Minimum of 2 shooters. At least one in Room 32135.

2. Paddock’s death most likely is a homicide, not a suicide.

3. Campos the hero is no hero. He is involved.

4. Minimum of two different calibers used.

5. The firing from MB was used to push crowd into a “kill zone”. Other shooters closer to ground, in concert with Floor 32 shooter, responsible for high number of casualties.

6. The FBI is trying to run the entire investigation into a preconceived conclusion and solution.

7. Paddock never made his living from gambling.

8. Paddock may have been a patsy and was killed to pin the whole operation on him.

9. There is a motive somewhere. There almost always is one. Someone is afraid we can’t handle the truth.

10. The FBI is not to be trusted for any part of this investigation.

11. We have heard from the SWAT team and the maintenance guy; Campos bolted because his story will not pass muster. We have not heard from the thousands of eyewitnesses what they saw and experienced. This has TWA800 written all over it. “That is not what you saw”.

12. Shortest route for shooter to leave 32nd floor is not down the stairs, but up the stairs to Saudi-owned Four Seasons Hotel, which occupies floors 35-39 of MB.

My opinions to date.

It’s predictable that there has not been a breakdown of deaths and injuries from bullet wounds vs stampede/chaos casualties. The media is happy that hasn’t gotten out. In the 70s, eleven people were killed at a WHO concert with about 19,000 attendees. And no one was shooting at them.

The absence of ANY new information on this massacre in over a week is very strange. Nothing. Zip. Nada.

Yes! If there was nothing sketchy about his source of income we would already where it came from.

Agree with you on point #2, he did not shoot himself.
