Much speculation has been swirling around regarding the recent Las Vegas shooting incident. Who was the alleged gunman, Stephen Paddock? What connections did he have? How many other accomplices were involved? Why did the police take so long to break into his hotel room? Why haven't the hotel and casino surveillance videos been shown to the public? Why would a "lone nut" need 23 semi-automatic weapons, instead of just swapping clips on the one or two needed to carry out the attack? Why do photos of the alleged "sniper nest" on the 32nd floor show only a handful of shell casings instead of the thousands that should have been there?
Paddock allegedly fired 200 rounds at a hotel security guard, at point-blank range, and only managed to hit him in the leg. This 64 year old retiree with no military experience then turned around and, we are told, hit some 500 other moving targets from nearly 1000 feet away using a hand-held weapon in less than 10 minutes. Seems incredible, doesn't it? Like something out of a twisted MGM movie. Note that both the Luxor and the Mandalay Bay hotels are owned by MGM.
The FBI and the corporate media would like for us to simply swallow the "official story", without any sort of actual forensic investigation. Just another crazed gun nut who acted alone, case closed. Typical media hype and emotional garbage with no actual analysis, combined with political demands to increase surveillance and disarm the law-abiding public, etc. Meanwhile, bloggers have followed every rabbit trail like baying hounds, jumping to wild conclusions based on the limited and contradictory "facts" that have been provided. All part of the diversion and cover-up which is standard after every such event.
Some have suggested that Paddock may have been an undercover agent for the government, working on a "sting" operation gone bad. In this scenario, the "clients" got wise to the setup, killed Paddock, carried out the attack on the concert venue, and escaped during the confusion, leaving Paddock as the "fall guy":
"While Stephen Paddock’s intelligence bosses were eager to put marked guns in the hands of jihadist supporters in America, ISIS [sic] was many steps ahead of the intel bureaucrats... If the killings at the Orlando Pulse* were an initial taste of glory, the assault on Las Vegas would surely be a bumper harvest... While Paddock and his agency superiors set the trap as neatly as he would fill an accounting ledger, the ISIS gunmen quietly took their stations at the Bellagio, Caesar’s Palace, the Aria, New York New York, Tropicana and the Mandalay Bay..." (part 1)
"How can anyone be so certain about professional military involvement? When information from the Las Vegas police radio scanner is superimposed on a map of The Strip, it discloses that the triangle of fire from machine-guns at the Tropicana/Hooters and New York New York hotels passed through narrow spaces between structures onto the concert venue over a distance of more than 300 meters..." (part 2)
"This essay...explores the centrality of Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s fiefdom in the Commonwealth of Virginia to the military contractor role of the fall guy Stephen Paddock, along with the governor’s support for federalization of the state National Guards... Attempts to probe the background to the ownership of the Cirrus SR20 aircraft, registered under the name of Stephen Paddock for covert ops, have met with obfuscation..." (part 3)
Interesting speculation, but not conclusive. Why would the Feds set up such an operation on the 32nd floor of a crowded luxury hotel? Why thousands of rounds of ammo just to sell a few "marked guns"? Why didn't the clients simply kill "agent Paddock" quietly and then disappear into the crowd? Where is the physical evidence of "machine-guns" firing at ground level? The so-called ISIS / al Queda terrorist group has been funded, trained and protected by US government agencies since its inception. The story doesn't hold up.
So, the questions remain unanswered. What was the actual target of this whole operation? Who really carried out the attack? Who benefits from tagging "ISIS" as the perpetrators? Why was this "harvest sacrifice" staged directly in front of the Luxor pyramid and obelisk of Osiris?
UPDATE: The hotel security guard mysteriously vanished from public view just before a scheduled press conference where he might have faced some embarrasing questions. It seems that his handlers needed more time to polish up his "story" for maximum emotional effect with minimal factual content. The alleged "hero" showed up again a few days later in a carefully scripted appearance on an NBC talk show favored by LGBTQ socialists. No serious questions were asked, and it was declared that he would give no further interviews. How convenient.
