Behind the Headlines: What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas

The biggest mass shooting in modern American history. One shooter, 59 dead, almost 500 injured. No warning signs. No discernible motive. The shooter, Stephen Paddock, is a cipher. As if that ambiguity wasn't enough, even the basic facts were quickly thrown into question and contradicted by numerous eyewitness accounts and footage. What the media has reported from the very beginning has been only a fraction of what happened. Multiple shooters, multiple events at multiple hotels. Now there is evidence that Paddock might not have been alone in his hotel room in the days before the shooting. You'd think this could all be clarified quickly using the hotel's surveillance footage. Apparently not.

Today on the Behind the Headlines we'll be analyzing what we know about the mass shooting at Mandalay Bay hotel and casino in Las Vegas - and what you're not hearing from local law enforcement, the Feds, and the mainstream media.

Join us live from 6-8pm CET (4-6pm UTC / 12-2pm EST) on the SOTT Radio Network.

Here's my problem with this event. There were 30,000 people attending the concert. Once the shooting started, people began fleeing in all directions, escaping police custody. So why has there been NO footage showing bodies or even blood? I can understand those who huddled in the theater, had their footage seized and sanitized by law enforcement. But how did the cops get the footage of everyone who just left?
Either the government has control of sites like FB and YouTube, or everyone who took pics and video just brought their devices to the cops...?

Ragnar [Link] this from Paul Craig Roberts... a military surgeon says the bodies were fake. Apart from your observations .... when this was the worst attack since 9/11 --- why no flying the US flag at half mast? Unless I missed it, there were no names of the dead, listed on TV screens or names published on online news sites... but like you, not even a body was seen falling, never mind pools of blood and blood on the clothing of those they so obviously must have fallen against initially, before people began to run for their lives.

The article on PCR's site addresses the same. Also when a person is hit by a bullet, the bodies of a lot of people huddled together like they were at the concert would shake from the impact and while some fell back, others sinking to the floor, blood flowing ...one can only imagine the hysteria which would instantly ensue, when a person falls against you or even on top of you or at your feet and you notice they've been shot? Yes, people would run away to hide when firing continued, to save themselves. Is it not also unreal though that with thousands of camera's there,no videos (as far as I know) have been released of people falling dead as they try to escape --? Is it not reasonable to assume that some people would not have left a person dying, breathing his/her last-- alone? That in that instant, forgetting the danger to yourself, you would reach out to be with the dying. No something was terribly amiss about this whole scenario... Even some of the people interviewed-- one young woman especially came across as a complete act-- fake to the bone. Please God, I am not unfeeling here... but that jumping video on TV screens watched throughout the world-- the person who did that video-- was he running away, or could he not find a place to hide?-- because any person would realise how important such a video would be later-- and at least found a hiding place to steady his hands?

There is footage of dead people here [Link]

Sorry, that link doesn't work...try Vegas Shooting Concert site (Dead Bodies) on LiveLeak

Listening to the broadcast linked in the article...
On the subject of suppressors. Yes, suppressors do suppress the sound of the gun. Yes they suppress the muzzle flash. BUT, if a gun is fired in full auto mode, with say a bump stock, a suppressor would melt due to the heat built up by such a high rate of fire. Doubtless the military has suppressors that wouldn't melt, but you can't just order one from Amazon, or anywhere really. Especially if the guy has no history with firearms. There's no way he'd have the trust of the people who would sell him an "illegal" suppressor IMO. I stand by the fact that the guns shown in this pics we have seen were NOT used to fire 1000's of rounds with a bump stock. Regular semi auto rifles would melt after firing say 600 rounds in full auto mode. They just aren't made to withstand such heat.

Potatos and Tomatos, thanks! That video looks like it's from the event. There's an 18 minute video a woman posted a couple of days ago that goes over a series of images, none showing any blood or bodies and all showing postures and attitudes that just don't look like they are at a mass shooting. I am just very puzzled at the lack of images or video being posed on google or YouTube showing any real victims.

Potatoes and Tomatoes · 2017-10-09T21:08:31Z

Yes, they are few and far between Ragnar. I found the words at the end strange. The lights go out in the arena, and the guy filming is asking that they be put back on. Whoever it is he is speaking to says that the lights aren't needed, as they are all dead. Why turn off the lights when there are dead and injured lying there? Why proclaim that they are all dead?

CROYCO · 2017-10-09T21:53:42Z

Paddock was shot twice.

Once in the chest and in the head.

See Pic. @ [Link]

gdpetti · 2017-10-09T22:08:24Z

CROYCO Or, not shot at all if that video of him in Atlantic City is accurate.... then the dead guy is just some stray no longer needed for the op, so disposed of, no? And as others have pointed out, the FBI asking people with knowledge of the event to step forward is rather amusing, assuming the real purpose is most likely the same as always, covering up the truth and eliminating all real witnesses... isn't the JFK hit and all those witnesses killed off afterwards enough warning?

OMG! · 2017-10-09T22:47:34Z

‘The shooter planned to escape…’ where did he plan to go… had he a legitimate false passport… and a long enough rope to abseil down the hotel or a parachute or a glider ready to go on top of the hotel that would enable him to reach the airport and hotwire one of Janet’s plains… well that’s what tom cruse would do. Mission Impossible

(maybe they accidently shot the real shooter, who was actually planning to escape, say nothing)

A camera on the spy hole of his door and then just not closing the door, was he in a rush getting into the room or was somebody in a rush going out, just minutes before hotel security guy arrived to see the door ‘ajar,’ was that to help clear the smoke from the room, or just the draft caused by two broken windows preventing the door from closing by itself after possible assailant number x exited the room in a hurry… assuming the hotel doors are of the kind that pretty much close on their own, the type that just clap shut, when people put their shoes out for a shine, and then finding themselves locked out...

Military Surgeon Says Videos of Las Vegas Gunshot Victims Are Fake...Interesting LINKs were provided that Jewtube has censored already ...but read the article at least ...[Link]

Just read something that makes sense. What if Stephen Paddock thought he was involved in a sting operation - that he'd been hired (he thought) to pretend to sell weapons to ISIS terrorists so that the FBI could make arrests? The guy had an outrageously expensive gambling habit - maybe this is how he helped to finance it. But a sting wasn't what was really planned. The plan this time was for him to become the conveniently-dead patsy for a false flag event. This idea explains a lot, and is worthy of being a working theory from which to analyze all of the implausibilities surrounding this event. He would have had to pretend to convert to Islam (explaining terrorist claims), prove he had the weapons (explaining the absurd numbers of them), the carnage supposedly created from 4 football fields away and 32 stories up, the lack of a criminal or gun background, the blocked exits, evidence of multiple shooters, and probably many other anomalies that I haven't included. After 9/11, these bastards think they can get away with anything.

The case centered around the death of Mexican national Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea, who was found shot to death on Kelly's 170-acre cattle ranch near...

In the USA you have that Idiot Biden running the show. We, in Australia have Mr Magoo (If you don't know who Mr Magoo is, Google him?) Leftards...

I reported it yesterday morning. I had seen the report in the French news the day before already. [Link]

I wonder if the people who do have conversations with themselves have trouble quieting the mind, as for meditation.
