Video: Caught on mic at a Las Vegas press conference, a reporter asks a pretty straightforward question: Was there an extraction vehicle for Stephen Paddock the night of the massacre? Did he plan to survive? FBI Agent, To Sheriff Joe Lombardo: “Don’t go there.” WHAT IS THE FBI HIDING?

The company that owns the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino implied Tuesday that it was in touch with wounded security guard Jesus Campos, who seemingly vanished last week as questions mounted over the Las Vegas casino’s response to the Oct. 1 mass shooting. MGM Resorts International issued a statement on Campos’ behalf Tuesday after the Los Angeles Times submitted a request to interview the Mandalay Bay security guard. Campos was shot in the leg by gunman Stephen Paddock inside the hotel shortly before Paddock began shooting at a concert across the street. “Jesus Campos wants to tell his story at...

The Las Vegas shooting has taken a lot of crazy twists and turns. By now, in a shooting case, a lot of the information would be filled in, the shooter’s motivation, the background, the details and videos of the shooting.

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...

Jesus Campos, the hero security guard who was shot in the Las Vegas hotel massacre, checked into a 'quick clinic' after vanishing moments before he was due to speak to the media for the first time since the attack. The security guard is yet to be interviewed since he was shot by Stephen Paddock on October 1 on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel. On Thursday, Campos was due to appear at a press conference after being given an award for his bravery but he disappeared. His union representative revealed on Saturday that Campos was taken to a...

I think the path to the truth in the Las Vegas massacre is becoming free of roadblocks…at least for me. Report – FBI wiping eyewitness computers clean. Report – Jesus Campos, wounded security guard at Mandalay Resort, and family silenced by gag order. Report – Between time of Las Vegas shooting and now – Bill HR 3999 introduced -open door to the Second Amendment. Conclusion – Stephen Paddock linked to Deep State all of his life. My bottom line theory just came together with the introduction of Bill HR 3999 yesterday. It opens the door to the 2nd Amendment, and...

The sheriff looking like he was going to have a nervous breakdown yesterday, the 28 year old survivor of the massacre saying that there was more than one shooter found dead, and now this.

Now the media are just taunting us with their tall tales about Stephen Paddock, the alleged Las Vegas shooter. Reputedly serious news organizations are claiming that he made a living playing video poker. That's like claiming someone made a living smoking crack. The media are either doing PR for the gambling industry or they don't want anyone considering the possibility that Paddock was using gambling to launder money. NBC News reports, with a straight face: "Las Vegas gunman earned millions as a gambler." A Los Angeles Times article is headlined, "In the solitary world of video poker, Stephen Paddock knew...

Workers at the Route 91 festival during which Stephen Paddock unleashed his massacre have reportedly been given back their phones and laptops by the FBI only to discover that all messages and videos from the night of the attack have been wiped clean. According to a Las Vegas resident who posted a status update on Facebook, “A bunch of people that worked the Route 91 said they got their cell phones back today. They all said that all their phones are completely wiped clean! All messages and info from that weekend are completely gone. Anyone else experience this?” “A few...

The home-sharing service Airbnb has “ghosted” or deleted the account of Las Vegas spree-shooter Steven Paddock, rented entire houses from around the desert city in the days before the Oct. 1 shooting, according to a source inside the company. The insider verified their access by sharing with Big League Politics personal and usage information from the site about other individuals that were not available in the public domain. Inside the company’s ghost report menu, there is no option for spree-shooting massacre, so whoever ghosted the account chose: “Physical Assault” as the reason for closing the account. As Airbnb does not...

<p>Mandalay Bay hotel officials said Thursday the Las Vegas gunman wounded a security guard in a hotel hallway within 40 seconds of firing into the crowd at a music festival, disputing a police timeline that put six minutes from the time the guard was shot and when Stephen Paddock committed the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.</p>

LAS VEGAS (AP) - 12:35 p.m. A U.S. official says the Mandalay Bay hotel casino didn't notify police that gunshots had been fired inside the tower until after a gunman opened fire on the crowd outside at a country music festival. The official, who was briefed by law enforcement, wasn't authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday. The disclosure means there was a delay of some six minutes in summoning police to the scene as the gunman began firing.

The 9:59 p.m. PDT time was derived from a Mandalay Bay report manually created after the fact without the benefit of information we now have. We are now confident that the time stated in this report is not accurate. We know that shots were being fired at the festival lot at the same time as, or within 40 seconds after, the time Jesus Campos first reported that shots were fired over the radio. Metro officers were together with armed Mandalay Bay security officers in the building when Campos first reported that shots were fired over the radio. These Metro officers...

It’s being reported that the security guard made famous in the Las Vegas shooter story is not even registered as a guard with the State of Nevada.  Is he even a guard?  Why was he there? Every security guard in the state of Nevada has to register as an armed or unarmed guard with the state’s Private Investigator’s Licensing Board (PILB).  This entity’s records are publicly searchable at: nevadapilb.glsuite.us. There’s no Jesus Campos licensed with the PILB. Earlier this week we found out that Campos was shot before the shooter started firing on the crowd below at the music...

Since Monday home of @MandalayBay security guard, Jesus Campos, guarded by private security-- today armed. #LasVegasShooting

Pressure mounted Wednesday for Las Vegas police to explain how quickly they reacted to what would become the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history after two hotel employees reported a gunman spraying a hallway with bullets six minutes before he opened fire on a crowd at a musical performance. On Monday, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo revised the chronology of the shooting and said the gunman, Stephen Paddock, had shot a hotel security guard through the door of his suite and strafed a hallway of the Mandalay Bay hotel and casino with 200 rounds six minutes before he unleashed...

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) - Mandalay Bay staff did not call Las Vegas police until after Stephen Paddock had already begun firing on the concertgoers, according to "World News Tonight" on ABC. Their information comes from an anonymous source who has reviewed records from the hotel-casino. According to the report, Mandalay Bay staff did not call police when security guard Jesus Campos reported internally that someone was shooting on the 32nd floor. Nor did they call police when building engineer Stephen Schuck also reported internally that someone was firing at him on the 32nd floor. About six minutes after shots were...

A maintenance worker said Wednesday he told hotel dispatchers to call police and report a gunman had opened fire with a rifle inside the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino hotel before the shooter began firing from his high-rise suite into a crowd at a nearby musical performance. The revised timeline has renewed questions about whether better communication might have allowed police to respond more quickly and take out the gunman before he committed the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. Worker Stephen Schuck says he was checking out a report of a jammed fire door on the 32nd floor...

A Las Vegas bellhop may have unwittingly helped Stephen Paddock carry his arsenal of weapons and ammunition up a freight elevator Paddock accessed through a special hotel perk and into the out-of-view 32nd-floor suite Paddock used to rain down mayhem on a country music concert crowd. An unidentified hotel worker – at least twice – helped Paddock with his belongings, although authorities have yet to identify any abnormalities in the gunman’s behavior after reviewing hotel security footage from the lead-up to the Oct. 1 attack, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Tuesday. It wasn't immediately known what was contained in the...

So according to this story, a maintenance worker named Stephen Schuck was walking down the hall when the first shots came flying down the hallway. And the security guard Campos saved *his* life by screaming for him to "take cover." At which point, he radioed to the hotel dispatch that someone was shooting with an automatic rifle on the 32nd floor. So now we find out that the hotel knew *before* anyone fired on the crowd that there was an active shooter on the 32nd floor...
