My,
what a difference a week makes.
Police
have dramatically altered their original timeline and sequence of events, which
only makes the official story regarding the Las Vegas shootings all the more
unbelievable. More on that further down.
First,
here are some additional questions that I did not broach in last week’s column.
See
my initial column on the Las Vegas shootings here:
1.
Where are the hundreds or thousands of spent cartridges on Stephen Paddock’s
hotel floor?
In
the photos of the suite that have been released to the public, we see maybe a
few dozen shell casings scattered around the room (including next to the body)
but nothing close to the multiple hundreds of expended cartridges that had to
have been on the floor if Mr. Paddock did what authorities are saying he did.
Think
about it: according to published reports, 58 people were killed in this attack,
and over 500 were wounded. In order to achieve that many casualties, the
shooter would have had to have fired around 1,000 rounds (minimum) in just ten
minutes with a modified semi-automatic rifle (or rifles). An amazing feat. In
fact, it is an all but impossible feat.
A quick
note on the “bump stocks”: the White House and U.S. Congress are signaling that
they are going to ban “bump stocks.” And, of course, the compromising NRA is
supporting this additional gun control measure. But people who know what they
are doing can accomplish the same result as a “bump stock” with a stiff rubber
band. That’s right: a stiff rubber band. What’s next: banning rubber bands?
You
and I both know the ultimate objective is the banning of all semi-automatic
rifles. That’s the goal of Marxists, globalists, and everyone within the
establishment elite who desires to strip America of its independence and
national sovereignty. I have said it repeatedly: the greatest deterrence to the
collapse of freedom in the Western world is an armed U.S. citizenry. Take away
semi-automatic rifles from the American citizenry and the entire Western world
would plunge into five hundred years of tyranny—and globalist elites KNOW IT.
But
back to the discussion at hand: To Keep or Not to Keep... Best

If
Paddock was the “lone wolf” gunman, there would have to be around 1,000 shell
casings on the floor of his hotel room. It would literally be almost impossible
to walk around a room covered with so many casings. So, where are they?
2.
Why do so many witnesses who were at the scene report shooters in so many
different locations?
Those
who have bothered to do more than simply sit like zombies in front of network
television news reports have heard numerous—and I mean numerous—witnesses on
the ground say that there was more than one shooter. I have had people write me
from Las Vegas who had relatives and close friends at the concert who told me
that they are swearing that there were multiple shooters. Yet spokesmen for law
enforcement and, of course, the talking heads and news anchors in the national
media act like these witnesses do not even exist. Why?
3.
Why do so many police officers who were at the scene report shooters in so many
different locations?
Not
only have concertgoers and others near the concert repeatedly said that there
were multiple shooters but so did the police officers who initially arrived at
the scene.
Here
are excerpts from the transcript of the police scanner during the first
eight-plus minutes of the shooting from police officers at the scene to the
police dispatcher:
[00:00:43]
I see the shots coming from Mandalay Bay. Half way up.
[00:00:58]
We have an active shooter inside the fairgrounds.
[00:02:58]
Shots are coming for coming from Gate 7. Gate 7. Shots are coming from Gate 7.
[00:04:41]
It’s coming from like the uh 50 or 60th floor
[00:04:57]
I’m seeing local flashes in the middle of Mandalay Bay on the north side kind
of uh on the west tower but towards the center of the casino.
[00:05:39]
I’m inside the Mandalay Bay on the 31st floor. I can hear the
automatic fire coming from one floor ahead. One floor above us. [This is the
only initial police call that identifies the shooter as being on the 32nd
floor.]
[00:06:19]
A flashing coming up from about a third of the way up, center tower Mandalay
Bay.
[00:08:19]
We can’t worry about victims, we need to stop the shooter before we have more
victims. Anybody have eyes on the shooter?
[00:08:26]
About 15th floor on the Mandalay Bay facing a whole lot.
Hear
the police scanner recording:
Why
hasn’t law enforcement clarified these shooter sightings by Las Vegas police
officers? Were all of these police officers saying they saw shootings where
none existed? Are Las Vegas policemen that poorly trained? Is it common for
police officers to say they see a shooter where no shooter exists? If that’s
the case, we need serious improvement in our law enforcement training
procedures.
Police
reported a shooter “half way up.” (That would be around the 21st or
22nd floor.)
Police
reported a shooter “inside the fairgrounds.”
Police
reported a shooter at “Gate 7.”
Police
reported a shooter between the “50 and 60th floor.” (This
officer was obviously saying somewhere at the top, which could mean the 32nd
floor, as the Mandalay Bay Hotel only has 43 floors.)
Police
reported a shooter “in the middle of Mandalay Bay.” (That would be
around 21st or 22nd floor. That’s the second police officer identifying a
shooter at this location.)
Police
reported a shooter “about a third of the way up.” (That would be around
the 14th or 15th floor.)
Police
reported a shooter “about 15th floor on the Mandalay
Bay.” (This is a second police officer reporting a shooter at this location.)
Why
hasn’t the mainstream media asked about these police sightings? Are they that
inept about journalistic investigation, or are they just that apathetic? It’s
because the national mainstream media are merely propagandists for the
government. That’s why. But I digress.
4.
Where did the shots come from that went through the front doors at the Bellagio
Hotel Casino (and other casinos)?
Numerous
eyewitnesses inside the Bellagio (and other hotels) said shots came through the
front door. If this is true, it is absolutely impossible for any of those
bullets to have been fired from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay
Hotel. Police have said absolutely NOTHING about these incidents? Why not?
5.
Where is the Ruger bolt-action .308 caliber rifle that Paddock purchased only a
few hours before the shootings?
That
rifle has shown up nowhere. It wasn’t reported being in his room, in his car,
or in his home. What happened to that rifle?
6.
Why would Paddock need to break out two windows, including in the suite and in
the adjoining room?
What’s
that all about? It would make sense if there was a second shooter in the
adjoining room. And given how long it took police officers to arrive at the
right room and that there was a separate hallway outside the adjoining room
that a second shooter could have used to leave the room undetected (except
perhaps by hotel security cameras—which we haven’t seen), it makes almost no
sense that Paddock would find it necessary to break out a window in each room
if he was all by himself. No sense!
7.
Why did the CEO and part owner of the Mandalay Bay Hotel Casino sell off his
portion of the holdings in the hotel over a couple month period just before the
shootings?
And
now we learn that authorities have completely changed their timeline and
sequence of events.
For
a week, authorities (and their toadies in the media) told us that a hotel
security guard was shot through the door by Paddock when he approached the room
during the firing. Now we are being told that the unarmed guard was shot a full
six minutes BEFORE the shooting began.
According
to the Los Angeles Times, “Officials had previously said that gunman Stephen
Paddock, 64, of Mesquite, Nev., shot Mandalay Bay security guard Jesus Campos
after Paddock had unleashed his deadly volley at the Route 91 Harvest Festival,
an assault that began at 10:05 p.m. and left 58 people dead, with hundreds more
injured.
“They
had credited Campos, who was shot in the leg, with stopping the 10-minute
assault on the concert crowd by turning the gunman’s attention to the hotel
hallway, where Campos was checking an alert for an open door in another guest’s
room.
“But
Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said Monday that Paddock shot Campos before
his mass shooting — at 9:59 p.m. — and they now didn’t know why Paddock stopped
his attack on the crowd.
“Paddock,
who had placed security cameras outside his room, shot Campos through the door
of his suite, which was outfitted with a camera to survey the hallway, as was a
room service cart parked outside. Police said Paddock fired 200 rounds into the
hallway.
“Investigators
previously said that the security guard was shot after Paddock had already
spent 10 minutes firing into the crowd of concertgoers gathered below the
hotel.
“In
a timeline released last week, investigators said Paddock had stopped firing at
the concert across the street at 10:15 p.m., and the first police officers
arrived on the floor at 10:17 p.m. and encountered the wounded Campos at 10:18
p.m., who directed the officers to Paddock’s suite.
“Police
were not in a hurry to enter Paddock’s suite because the security guard’s
arrival had halted the shooting, police implied in previously describing the
timeline. Paddock had killed himself by the time officers entered the room,
they said.
“In
a news conference Wednesday, Lombardo said it was his ‘assumption’ that Paddock
stopped his shooting spree because the gunman, using his spy cameras, ‘observed
the security guard, and he was in fear that he was about to be breached, so he
was doing everything possible to figure out how to escape at that point.’
“In
another news conference last week, Clark County Undersheriff Kevin McMahill
said Campos ‘had notified his dispatch, which was absolutely critical to us,
knowing the location, as well as advising the responding officers as they
arrived.’
“But
on Monday, the timeline changed.
“‘Mr.
Campos was encountered by the suspect prior to his shooting to the outside
world,’ Lombardo said at a Monday news conference.
“Police
officers who started searching the hotel after the shooting began didn’t know a
hotel security guard had been shot ‘until they met him in the hallway after
exiting the elevator,’ Lombardo said. He didn’t say whether Campos notified
casino security after he was shot.
“A
police spokesperson did not immediately respond to several follow-up questions
from the Los Angeles Times seeking clarification on the new timeline.”
See
the report here:
This
new altered sequence of events changes the whole narrative completely. So
instead of approaching the room after the shooting had begun, the security
guard was shot a full SIX MINUTES before the shooting even started—and police
DID NOT KNOW IT?
What?
Is this 1817? Were there no walkie talkies, telephones, or cell phones inside
the Mandalay Bay Hotel? How about a telegraph machine?
How
could there be a shooting inside one of the largest and most sophisticated
hotels on the internationally famous Las Vegas Strip at 9:59pm and police not
even know about it until they happened to stumble upon the wounded security
guard at around 10:18pm—and after the shooter had killed 58 people?
“Charles
‘Sid’ Heal, a retired Los Angeles County sheriff’s commander and tactical
expert, said the new timeline ‘changes the whole perspective of the shooting.’
“Heal
said that if police had known immediately that a guard had been shot, they
would have rushed the room while the gunman was still firing. He said it seemed
to signal a breakdown in communication.”
“After
Campos was shot, a maintenance worker appeared on the 32nd
floor and ‘Campos prevented him from receiving any injuries,’ Lombardo said.”
So,
the security guard was conscious and alert enough to warn a maintenance worker about
the shooter (and his wounds by the shooter, I would presume), but he was unable
to alert hotel management? Did the maintenance worker alert hotel management?
Were there no guests in the hallway that heard the security guard get shot and
alert hotel management? Did hotel management get the report that one of their
security guards had been shot inside their hotel and not contact police? Did
police get the report from the Mandalay Bay Hotel that a security guard had
been shot and not respond?
I
tell you, folks, this is more than bizarre. And it flat doesn’t make sense.
And
what made the shooter STOP shooting? Now we are told it was NOT the security
guard. He was shot six minutes before assumed shooter Stephen Paddock even
started firing. What made the shooter stop? It wasn’t the security guard; it
wasn’t the police. What made him stop?
Furthermore,
why would police “not be in a hurry” to enter the shooter’s room? How could
they know he was dead? The official story is that police arrived at the 32nd
floor at 10:17pm and discovered the wounded security guard at 10:18pm. The
guard pointed the officers to the shooter’s room, and officers arrived at the
door moments later. The shooter had stopped firing at 10:15pm. So, officers
were at the door only minutes from the time the shooter had stopped firing. For
all they knew the shooter’s rifle could have jammed, and he was trying to get
it working or something. They couldn’t know if he was alive or dead or just
what was going on UNTIL THEY GOT INTO THAT ROOM. But they were “not in a hurry”
to do so? Now get this: police didn’t enter Paddock’s room until 11:20pm—over
an hour later. What? This is baffling.
In
addition, what made Paddock START shooting?
“Las
Vegas casino magnate Steve Wynn said Sunday that his resorts and casinos had an
extensive profile on Stephen Paddock, the gunman who killed 58 people last week
in the deadliest mass shooting in American history, and that were no red flags
of any kind.
“‘The
most vanilla profile one could possibly imagine,’ Mr. Wynn told ‘Fox News
Sunday.’
“‘A
modest gambler, at least by our standards,’ he said. ‘Nothing serious, paid
promptly, never owed any money anywhere in Las Vegas. He didn’t fit the profile
of a problem or a compulsive gambler. … You never, ever would stop a man like
this from coming in the building.’
“Mr.
Wynn, one of the most prominent figures in Las Vegas, said his properties over
the past two years have instituted new security and profiling procedures,
including checking on any guests who post a ‘do not disturb’ sign on their
rooms for longer than 12 hours.
“Paddock
reportedly kept such a sign on his door for several days leading up to the
shooting as he prepped for the rampage.”
See
the report:
Wynn
was also quoted as saying that Paddock never drank. Paddock himself said he
never drank when he gambled. Yet the media has shown us photographs of Paddock
appearing to be drinking heavily before the Vegas attacks.
Things
just don’t add up!
It’s
been well over a week since the shootings took place, and not only are our
questions not being answered, more and deeper questions keep popping up.
At
this point, all I can say is that I am personally convinced that there was more
than one shooter. It seems virtually impossible to me that an untrained
64-year-old Stephen Paddock could have carried out these shootings by himself.
In addition to the numerous eyewitness testimonies of there being multiple
shooters, Las Vegas police officers at the scene thought so too. If you keep
listening to the police scanner recording that I referenced above, at the 44:50
mark, a Las Vegas police officer says, “Confirming the Mandalay Bay and Ali
Baba and Giles are the 2 shooting locations. Do we have a third?”
I
also invite readers to watch this compelling acoustic analysis of the shooting
that seems to prove the existence of multiple shooters:
If
there was more than one shooter, the only thing that makes sense to me is that
it had to be a professional dark ops government action. “Whose government?” you
ask. There are only three governments that have the resources to successfully
pull off a shooting of this magnitude and completely escape detection inside
the continental United States—only three: America’s CIA, British MI6, and the
Israeli Mossad. That’s it. Plus, the presence of “spy cameras” in Paddock’s
room strongly indicates the presence of spooks. This is almost standard
procedure for covert ops and suggests a degree of sophistication in this
operation that I cannot imagine Stephen Paddock would have. Forget ISIS and all
that claptrap. If there were multiple shooters (of which all but one have
completely disappeared, and no one in law enforcement is even looking for
them), it could only be carried out by one of—or a consortium of—these three
governments.
I
realize that it is extremely difficult (and uncomfortable) for people to accept
the possibility that elements within our own government could be capable of
such an atrocity as the shootings in Las Vegas. But any government that has no
qualms about murdering tens of millions of unborn babies; any government that
has no qualms about murdering hundreds of thousands of innocent people around
the world in unprovoked, preemptive drone attacks, missile attacks, bombings,
assassinations, and illegal dark operations; and any government that would
callously send young Americans into these battlefield meat grinders to fight
and die for the sake of wars for profit, nation-building, and political
power-brokering is capable of ANYTHING.
No,
this doesn’t mean that your congressman or senators (or mine) or the President
of the United States or even the Pentagon knows about it—although any one or
several of them MIGHT. But it does mean that there is an illegal nefarious dark
side of government that surreptitiously carries out the most evil and
unspeakable acts of violence against the most helpless and innocent of people
ALL OF THE TIME. To monsters this wicked and vile, the lives of 58 innocents in
Las Vegas is just another day at the office.
When
the American people can come to grips with the distinct possibility of what I
am saying, then we can have an intelligent conversation about what to do about
it. But until people (including local police officials) are willing to
entertain this potentiality, any conversation on the subject is moot. And
dismissing what this author is saying as being nothing but a nutty conspiracy
theory only ensures that, if there are such people behind these kinds of mass
shootings, we will never be able to get to the crux of it, and it will only continue—which
is what is happening, isn’t it?
But
it should be obvious WHY a dark side of government would want to do such
things. As I’ve already noted, the ultimate goal of America-haters is our
disarmament. And since no one in law enforcement, government, or the media is
willing to delve into this possibility, these kinds of shootings only worsen
over time. The next shooting (and there will be another one) will be worse than
Las Vegas. They will not stop until America is disarmed OR until the American
people awaken to what is happening and demand that the light of truth start
shining on the dark forces behind these atrocities.
Of
course, the other thing these mass shootings accomplish is to put America
deeper and deeper into a cage. You can bet that from now on getting into a Las
Vegas hotel casino will be like boarding a commercial airliner—or worse. Larger
cities across America will enact stricter and stricter security measures in
more and more places, which means our liberties will go down the toilet even faster.
Plus, don’t forget that numerous insider security peddlers, such as former U.S.
Secretary of Homeland Security under President G.W. Bush (and co-author of the
Patriot Act) Michael Chertoff, are going to make billions of dollars promoting
the security industry.
The
more we are told about the Las Vegas shootings, the less believable it is.
Given
the utter apathy of the national news media for truthful investigative
reporting, and given the gullibility of so many Americans to swallow the
mindless propaganda from the national news media, and given the unwillingness
of local law enforcement agencies to challenge the narratives from the federal
government, I guess Stephen Paddock is destined to go down in history alongside
Lee Harvey Oswald as the “lone shooter” in one of the worst killings in
America. And we all KNOW that Oswald acted alone, don’t we?
P.S.
One more time, let me remind readers about our book on why no one, especially
Christians, should allow themselves to be disarmed—and specifically why they
should never allow their semi-automatic rifles to be taken away from them.
The
Las Vegas shootings have only invigorated the gun-grabbers (and spineless
jellyfish) in government to pass additional gun control laws. And, sadly, a
host of pastors and churches are telling their congregations that Christians
are obligated to surrender their firearms should civil government require them
to do so. Furthermore, many are saying that banning semi-automatic rifles is
“reasonable” and is not actually disarming us. They could not be more WRONG.
Plus, such teaching is an egregious violation of the Word of God.
