Faced with the impossible task of trying to make what was clearly a coordinated multi-site attack spread over a large area fit with the narrative that one man alone carried it out from one crime scene, it's little wonder the FBI came to such an unsatisfactory conclusion regarding motive. Critics will, justifiably, interpret this as confirmation that investigative authorities are complicit in covering up what really happened, who really did it, and why they did it, while the lack of reasonable closure on the case will do nothing to assuage the general public's unease with the official narrative for this and similar atrocities.
The best face one can put on the FBI's conclusion is that it is, in a sense, more honest than the alternative option of concocting some motive to fit with the core premise - laid down at the outset by anonymous mainstream media sources, then vigorously adhered to by the FBI - that one man acted alone. The problem for US authorities, and indeed for US society as a whole, is that this non-answer leaves a gaping wound in public awareness, emboldens the perpetrators and their patrons, and increases the likelihood of such crimes happening again.
With the US government and media derelict in their duty to protect the public by informing it of real dangers foreign and domestic - indeed, they are instead misinforming the public 24/7 about fictional Russian/Chinese/Iranian conspiracies - it is left to laymen to piece together the publicly-available data about the Las Vegas Massacre into a reasonably coherent narrative, containing at its core a motive which satisfactorily accounts for the scale and shocking depravity of the crime.
Despite the media's and official investigators' appalling lack of interest in following up on early police radio reports and the testimonies and video/photo evidence from many among the 22,000 people in the crossfire that night - specifically that concerning gunfire targeting festival attendees from directions other than the Mandalay Bay hotel, gunfire targeting multiple other casino resorts along the Vegas Strip, suspicious persons directing people off the streets and into casino resorts, and suspicious persons apprehended, chased, or even shot by Las Vegas police - the fact is that this large body of evidence remains wholly unaccounted for and, where mentioned, patronizingly is dismissed as 'mistaken reports'.
Triangulated Crossfire
Joe Quinn and I published analyses on the Las Vegas Massacre, and we also discussed it on a couple of our shows, arguing that the facts of the shooting do not support the premise that Paddock acted alone. We further concluded that Paddock was probably a patsy - in the sense that he either played a minor role, or no role at all, in the shooting.
I would suggest that at least three gunmen targeted the festival venue during those bloody ten minutes shortly after 10pm. Smashed-out windows in both the suite and the adjoining room on the north end of 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay make sense only for two gunmen, both of whom would have escaped long before SWAT teams breached the door - over an hour later - and found Paddock dead from a gunshot wound, allegedly self-inflicted just as the door was blown open, hence the reason they gave for why they didn't hear this fatal gunshot.
While one of these two Mandalay Bay gunmen 'strafed' the festival venue with heavy machine-gunfire, the other likely divided his time between checking video feed from the pre-placed cameras monitoring the hallway, and picking out venue attendees with a sniper rifle - the first few cracks from which are likely what we hear in attendees' video footage of the earliest moments of the attack, and any subsequent shots from which would have been audibly masked by the machine-gun.
Any given individual's account of gunfire from an alternate source may be put down to panic and confusion in the moment - and, certainly, this was an extremely chaotic and traumatizing event - but many attendees and venue staff reported, even days and weeks later, that they were additionally being fired at from a position or positions much closer to the venue, at ground level to the east or southeast, from either within or nearby the staff parking lot between the venue and the outer perimeter of McCarran International Airport.
A third gunmen was likely situated on the east side of the venue in a position to engage in an L-shaped ambush, or triangulated crossfire, relative to the Mandalay Bay position, targeting fleeing venue attendees as they poured out of what were, initially, the only open exit points along the venue's eastern side (Giles Street).
In the above map, triangulation between the north tower of the Mandalay Bay, the main crowd in front of the stage at the festival venue, and thus a possible ground location for a second shooting position, is marked in yellow. Most attendees fled in the opposite direction from the Mandalay Bay, through exits 4a, 5 and 6 on the eastern side of the venue, and into lots and side streets that were only partly illuminated and sectioned off with fencing and obstructing vehicles. Beyond those, to the south and east, is open ground until the purple line marking the perimeter of McCarran Airport.
While the Mandalay Bay shooting position was fixed to one location on the 32nd floor, a ground-based second team to the east of the venue would have been free to change position. The police dispatch commander can be heard on the Las Vegas Metro Police Department (LVMPD) scanner (transcript here), almost 30 minutes after the gunfire ended, informing all units that "we have two [crime] scenes," one "at Ali Baba & Giles, east of the Catholic shrine, as well as in the Mandalay Bay," before another central dispatcher confirms, about 7 minutes later, that "the Mandalay Bay and Ali Baba & Giles are the two shooting locations." The location of this second "scene" is marked above with a blue circle.
Note that these two locations bracket the desert lot that served as a staff parking and storage area for the duration of the festival. Thousands of festival attendees and staff fled into that lot, and although most turned north in the direction of the Tropicana casino, hundreds continued heading east, breached airport perimeter fences, and crossed the McCarran Airport runways. Along the way, many reported that gunfire sounded closer as they moved away from the venue, and others reported seeing people get shot in the parking lot.
It's known that at least one of the victims - Melissa Ramirez - was fatally shot at the northeast corner of the lot, marked as a red cross on our map, close to the airport boundary. Matching CCTV and police body cam footage confirm that she and several others, who had been shot at, or close to this location, took refuge close by in the small parking lot of a business park adjoining the airport grounds. However, in the final LVMPD report published a year ago, which included a photo and a map showing locations of the deceased, Ramirez is listed as having died at the Desert Rose resort, to where her body was presumably initially transported.
The victims numbered 21 through 26 are listed by the LVMPD as having died at the perimeter of, or just beyond, the festival grounds. Numbers 21 through 24 were specifically "located and recovered near the medical tent in the northeast portion of the venue" supporting police dispatch reports and eyewitness reports that the medical tent located in the northeast corner of the venue was deliberately targeted.
In addition, Melissa Ramirez, listed as victim 29 in the report, is located at the Desert Rose resort along with victims 27 and 28, so their bodies were likely also moved there afterwards. In fact, the LVMPD report says that the seven victims shown in their map (above) were probably "placed at these locations." The report says that the remaining victims, numbered 32 through 58, died en route to or at Las Vegas hospitals.
Others besides Ramirez were, therefore, probably shot from a ground-level position within or near the staff parking lot as they headed east away from the venue. Certainly, Ramirez was not shot and killed by a bullet fired from an AR-15 handled by a 64-year-old amateur picking her out in a relatively dark location from over 2,000 feet away on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay. Finally, the locations published in the police report of those who died at or near the venue, broadly clustered as they are into two defined areas - in front of the main stage nearest to the Mandalay Bay, and at the opposite end of the venue - supports the case for two crime scenes; two target locations from two shooting positions.
Corraling and Gaslighting Las Vegas
As I covered in 'Las Vegas Terror Attack: Clear Evidence of Multiple Shooters at Multiple Hotels', other events that night took place far from the festival venue, and long after SWAT teams 'secured' the suite at the Mandalay Bay. Police did respond to these dozen or more active shooter reports, with weapons drawn, so at the very least they merit investigation and official follow-up. The city of Las Vegas has apparently chosen to forget these other events ever happened, but police dispatch reports of successfully apprehending and taking into custody suspects at other locations along the Strip, coupled with hundreds of reports on social media - some of which include detailed testimony - of audible bursts of gunfire and mass panic at multiple other casino resorts and hotels, means there are thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people who cannot forget.
Based on the scale and duration of the overall operation - taking place as it did along a two-mile-long section of the Strip over a period of several hours - I would suggest that as many as two dozen 'spotters' or logistical support were apparently tasked with provoking active shooter lock-downs at other hotel-casino resorts. This obviously drew many police away from the two primary crime scenes, confused their responses, and enabled the perpetrators to escape.
Additionally, this effectively corralled the tens of thousands of festival attendees and other tourists and Las Vegans on the Strip that night into casino resorts, which, once they went into 'lock-down' - a pseudo-legal concept in post-911 America that is tantamount to martial law - kept everyone detained until early the next day. By now thoroughly terrorized and stressed, people were only released from whichever casino they found themselves in once they had been frisked and 'processed' (literally every room and every person's belongings on the Las Vegas Strip was searched) by police and FBI agents.
Powerful Motive
Nothing made public by the official investigation since then contradicts this basic frame. The investigation focused on one key witness to one crime scene - security guard Jesus Campos at the Mandalay Bay, whose vague account of his 'encounter with the gunman' through the (closed) main doors of suite 32-135 remains as inconclusive as the official explanations for what took place at that crime scene before, during and after the shooting. Given his affinity for gambling, Paddock was possibly using his privileges as a 'high roller' during his frequent hotel stays in Las Vegas to supplement his income with buying and selling weapons on the side. This would account for the large numbers of weapons he brought into his suite, and those found in his homes, as well as his purchasing of weapons from people operating in the weapons black market.
In providing an alternative account of events that night, I am of course aware that it is an inherently speculative exercise. Keep in mind, however, that while the media lambasts 'conspiracy theorists' and derides the various theories they put forward, it is attempting to make square pegs fit in the gaping round holes of the official narrative, and completely oblivious to the fact that this makes them party to insupportable conspiracy theories which ultimately aid and abet the real perpetrators. Having abandoned their posts by not solving the crime and thus leaving Americans without a realistic account, they have left the field wide open for wholly unsupportable theories, one predictable result of which is the proliferation of schizophrenic interpretations in which nothing 'real' happened at all - as on a movie set.
I also realize that, in articulating a reason for why powerful elements of the 'deep state' would conspire in the execution or cover-up of a massacre of their own citizens, this too is a shot in the dark. When asked at a press conference in early October 2017 why he thought the perpetrator - by then singled out as Stephen Paddock - did it, the Clark County Sheriff, Joseph Lombardo, replied:
"I can't get into the mind of a psychopath."Neither can anyone, really, but the motivations behind psychopathic actions committed by those in or close to power can reasonably be discerned in other contexts, no matter how paralogical they may at first glance seem.
The FBI has bailed on providing a motive for this crime, but I would suggest that the motive is clearly terrorism, the definition of which is "the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims." No one doubts how effective the Las Vegas shooting was in terms of generating terror, amplified beyond that city across the US and wider world through the media, but the political aims it sought to achieve are not readily apparent because the narrative was fixed around one actor. As with many similar acts of terrorism attributed to 'lone gunmen', once the message gets out through the media that one person acted alone, all investigation and consideration of political motive - which necessarily implies a conspiracy of agents, or at least ideological affiliation - is halted in its tracks.
This 'artificial stripping' of political motive at the outset is itself a clue to the political nature of this mass shooting. We are of course all familiar in this day and age with terrorism attributed to - and indeed often carried out by - religiously and highly politically-motivated Muslims. We are also by now familiar with the evidence that states - including democratically-elected governments - in one way or another sponsor groups and individuals whose actions often fall under the definition of terrorism, and that they use these groups for political and geopolitical ends.
The primary effect of terror is fear, which induces emotional thinking and high degrees of submission to an authority promising to allay that fear by offering protection. The quid pro quo is that, in return, citizens are implicitly, and sometimes explicitly, told that they must not question that authority. In the political climate that arose in the US during and after the election of an 'unapproved' candidate in 2016, Americans became aware, en masse, of the concept of a 'deep state' substantively influencing government policy from beyond official mechanisms of power - and from beyond America's borders.
It is in this context that a deliberately-provoked tragedy, apparently disconnected from the intense political battles taking place for control of the national 'ship of state', serves the purpose of provoking or reinforcing submission to 'that which shall remain unquestioned'. In America's case, that which shall not be questioned is the fundamental orientation of the country's economy around militarism, its self-ordained role as the world's policeman through permanent war (as succinctly articulated by neocon Max Boot in the Washington Post this week), and its stewardship under a super-wealthy oligarchy that has usurped the US national interest in order to advance the 'global interest' of US-led Western hegemony over all nations.
Under this overarching imperative of 'defending the realm', which is really about maintaining the political status quo, terrorism becomes a blunt force instrument of mass distraction and mass submission. Consider, for example, the synchronicity of terror attacks hitting Barcelona and elsewhere in Catalonia a little over a month before that Spanish region's independence referendum. The date for the referendum - October 1st 2017, was set long in advance of the terror attacks - the political motivation for which was ostensibly to advance the Islamic State's goal of re-creating an 'Islamic caliphate'. The shock referendum vote for secession from Spain, and the Spanish government's distinctly authoritarian and brutal suppression of voters and secessionist leaders, was briefly captured even in US media, before being substantially replaced by a sudden shift in focus to the Las Vegas shooting about 10 hours later:
Tying into all of this was the commencement of a high-profile and politically contentious court case in Washington, DC on October 2nd, 2017: the trial of a suspect in the Benghazi attack of September 11th, 2012, which US authorities have been at pains to limit to an investigation of the murder of four US citizens, including the ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, while downplaying that consulate's function as a CIA operations center for the shipment of weapons and terrorists to the brewing 'civil war' in Syria - and then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's role in it.
Misdirection, and a Signature?
A strange footnote to the October 2017 terror attack in Las Vegas was the immediate claim of responsibility by 'ISIS' - conveyed on their behalf, as usual, by privatized Mossad outfit 'SITE Intelligence', but then ruled out by US officials - in conjunction with an atypically forthcoming revelation, disclosed to the Las Vegas Review-Journal by "knowledgeable sources" 48 hours after the attack, that two bullets had struck one of the pair of enormous fuel tanks servicing private airlines located just beyond the staff parking lot. This prompted media theories about Paddock deliberately targeting the tanks in an attempt, however futile, to detonate the fuel, and it compelled Las Vegas police to investigate the incident and duly report in their final timeline of events (p.34, LVMPD report) that, indeed, eight rounds had been fired at the tanks four minutes into the 10-minute shooting spree.
Why would a lone gunman on an otherwise meticulously-planned and tactically-astute mission to kill as many people as possible, with precious time to spare, break from the task at hand to take aim at a fuel tank, located away from any crowds, and twice the distance away from the Mandalay Bay as the festival venue? Celebrity gossip news site RadarOnline.com - a curious media source for 'anonymous law enforcement officials' to turn to - weighed in the following day with a wacky follow-up scoop, though it included some highly 'intelligent' background information:
Las Vegas Shooter Targeted Secret Government Planes In Addition To VictimsWell, aint that a daisy.
By Radar Staff, posted on Oct 5, 2017Las Vegas madman Stephen Paddock not only targeted innocent concertgoers - but also seemingly the hanger for the U.S. government's super secret JANET airlines.
Law enforcement sources exclusively told RadarOnline.com that just afield of the two massive, circular fuel tanks at which Paddock fired, lies the shadowy terminal for JANET.
"JANET is essentially an airline that doesn't exist," a source told Radar. "It is not affiliated with any other airline.
"Insiders call it the 'CIA's airline,' but, informally, it's known as 'JANET' because its pilots use that identifier over air traffic control frequencies."
"The airline mostly uses JANET as a shuttle service for military VIPs between Las Vegas and Area 51," the source added. "The joke is that the acronym stands for Just Another Non-Existent Terminal."
"It's also a very intriguing angle given Paddock worked for the predecessor of Lockheed Martin, one of the U.S. government's most relied upon military aviation manufacturers."
As Radar previously reported, Paddock broke the window of his Mandalay Bay and Casino suite on the 32nd floor and fired upon the Route 91 Harvest country music festival, killing 59 and wounding more than 500 more.
But the retired 64-year-old also broke a second window and fired at two circular, white-pained fuel tanks 1,110 feet from the concert site on the edge of McCarran International Airport.
Officials have now confirmed he hit the tanks twice, although the bullets did not pierce their shells. Construction crews have already whitewashed the damage.
"Airport fueling has not been compromised," airport spokesman Chris Jones acknowledged. "It's functional."
The tanks are owned and operated by Swissport, and used primarily to fuel numerous private airlines located around that part of McCarran. The closest airline is JANET.
In the wake of these revelations, Radar has learned JANET planes are officially owned by the U.S. Air Force - and operated by defense contractor AECOM. The planes neither carry nor display an N-number, and none of the usual identifying marks common to commercial and privately owned aircraft.
But those in the know know them only by the distinctive red cheat line painted prominently across the planes' fuselages.
The airline is most commonly used by the U.S. government to ferry military and government VIPs, and contractors between Las Vegas and Area 51, the super secret base where the military is believed to test experimental weapons and aircraft.
"JANET is based at McCarran International Airport and its hanger is just beyond a parking lot directly adjacent to those gas tankers," Radar's source said.
Dawna Kaufmann, an investigative journalist and author of Final Exams, told Radar she has monitored air traffic transmissions from McCarran.
"Each day many flights go from McCarran to various intelligence agency outposts, including Area 51," she said. "But most flights go to Creech Air Force Base in Indian Springs, 35 miles northwest of Vegas."
"Creech is where a joint US/UK program is housed for identifying drone targets in Iraq and Afghanistan or any other Middle East hot spot."
"All of the drone attacks that have taken out enemies have been given the go-ahead by military brass at Creech."
ISIS has claimed responsibility for Paddock's acts - although authorities have discredited the group's assertion.
Kaufmann told Radar the presence of JANET near the targeted fuel tanks could provide the missing link to unraveling Paddock's madness.
"Paddock might have held anti-American views that made him want to target our government. We know the Philippines is a hotbed of ISIS activity," Kaufmann said.
"It's likely Paddock had two missions - one for the concert goers and the second to do something anti-American, perhaps at the behest of an enemy nation."
'JANET' may be an open secret, but it is secretive nonetheless. A major military-intelligence transport hub serving super-secret and 'regular' military sites in the US Southwest, which in turn serve Deep State operations globally, being situated literally next door to the festival venue certainly adds intrigue to what is already the biggest unsolved crime in modern US history. That the tanks that fuel its aircraft were hit during the shooting adds a little more.
Incidentally, several hundred fleeing festival attendees hunkered down that night in the Las Vegas Sands Corp hangar, which houses one of the biggest fleet of private aircraft in the world, and is the next private hangar to the south of the CIA's facility at McCarran Airport. Sands Corp also runs The Palazzo and The Venetian casino-hotels on the Vegas Strip and is owned by casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, who purchased the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Nevada's biggest newspaper, in a 'secret transaction' in late 2015. Adelson is also the biggest donor to Republican politicians in the US, and is listed as the 15th richest man on Earth.
Perhaps Paddock's 'second mission' was motivated by a grudge against the rich?
Yes indeed, as the Radar report suggests, those two giant fuel tanks "could provide the missing link" to unraveling the case. However, their anonymous source's generous suggestions that Paddock targeted them a) to get back at the US govt because he was either a former disgruntled employee of the predecessor to Lockheed Martin, or b) at the behest of a foreign government, is the tallest tale I've heard this side of the World Trade Center towers pancaking into dust under the weight of their upper floors on 9/11.
Unless...
The tanks were deliberately targeted not to attack the US government per se, but to draw attention to an important US military-intelligence facility and thereby leave a 'signature' in the form of a message to officials and investigators who may be wavering: 'play ball with the lone gunman cover-up and do NOT say or do anything that exposes us'.
Reader Comments
Given the number (allegedly shot or killed) he must have known at least a little (or a lot) about ballistics/
As a bullet flies through the air, its path is affected by three things:
Air Resistance;
Gravity;
And winds.
The farther it goes from the barrel, the more it slows down. This is accellerated in a relatively small cartridge like the .22 Caliber ammo he used. (When one says a '.22' one most commonly thinks of the 'plinking' rounds like the .22 or .22 long rifle 'rimfire' cartridges which usually hold an ~ 30 grain weight bullet.) However, the .223/5.56 mm round has much more powder and usually has a 55 to 62 grain bullet.
Such a round would NOT penetrate a gas tank at that distance. (It is likely that the NATO medium cartridge (formerly the 30.06 but since ~ 1956? has been the 7.60mm/.308cal) which also, but less likely at that distance would NOT penetrate those tanks.
In contrast, the .50 Cal. BMG WOULD have penetrated those tanks.
For the cost of all of those fireams in his suite, he could have easily instead purchased a .50 cal BMG rifle and incendiary tracer rounds with likely WOULD have compromised those tanks AND blown them up. The fact that such doesn't occur daily should awaken Americans to the fact that 99.99999999etc.% of American Gun owners are NOT terrorists; nor do they hope to kill people. (That is an innate human tendency.)
The fact that such did NOT then occur bolslters Niall's theory/thought/idea that those shots were made 'as a warning'.
R.C.
7.62/.308
and
a .50 cal BMG rifle and incendiary tracer rounds WHICH likely WOULD have compromised those tanks AND blown them up.
I could go into more detail (E.g., 7.62 X 51mm, et al) but the point would remain the same.
R.C.
True, and if he new about weapons, as they stated he did, he would have known that. So, it seems that the gas tanks would have been an idea at the time and not a part of the original plan. This attack seems military in its design and if you place yourself (google earth) at the corner the article states there may have been a second ground unit (yellow circle) you can see the "security" around the tanks is lacking, badly.
Why not set some charges on the tanks prior to the attack? If this was a year in the making surely this topic would have come up.
Why risk the mission? If the tanks never came up in pre planning, why deviate during the mission? Military generally do not deviate unless the original plan is not going to plan.
As far as the second ground unit (yellow circle), they would have been highly exposed with no means of escape. Not a smart move on a year long design and plan.
Unless, of course the second unit was "police".. Then they could have just blended into the atmosphere without standing out.In terms of escape routes, there's a highway just west beyond the Strip, and helicopter/jet hangars just beyond the venue. There's also an entrance to the Las Vegas tunnel network right there at the junction of Giles and East Mandalay Bay Road.
To clarify, however, a standard 5.56 round with a steel core shot out of a standard M16 can penetrate 3.5 mm of steel at 1300 feet and has partial penetration at 1600 feet... which is well over the 1100 feet to the tanks. A longer barrelled 5.56 rifle would work to increase the velocity and penetration; and special purpose ammunition (5.56 penetrator or WSSM) would work at even farther ranges. This would also depend on the thickness of the fuel tank, which would most likely range from 3/16" to 1/4" to 3/8" depending on the volume. Because the tanks were not penetrated I'd say that they were just pot-shot at.
Regardless of the intent, even with a 50-cal, aviation fuel would not "blow up" in any case - because real life is not like a Hollywood movie. The most anyone could have hoped for by shooting a fuel tank is to poke a hole into the side and make a spill. *Maybe* (although highly doubtful) produce a spill based fire. Aviation fuel is similar to diesel fuel and while it is flammable - it is not explosive. Of course, unless the tank was empty and full of fuel vapor... again, highly unlikely.
Besides that, there are so many guns and drugged-up/drunk people in Vegas maybe they were pot-shot at before or after the incident. Just playing devil's advocate here.
I have recently noticed that these mass shootings; in particular this one, the one in the movie theater and the one in France, have a more organized and military feel to them than some of the others.
The official narratives of these three attacks are also very transparent. It is almost like tptb don't even care if we believe them or not.
I don't believe in a Grand Conspiracy - that there is one, global Deep State that is manoevering for ever more power. Psychopaths can't work together for this long; they would all stab each other in the back long before such an organization could be as powerful as that.
Rather, I believe that there are different factions fighting each other. Big Tech, Big Oil, Big Banking, Military Industrial Complex, Old Money, Old Royal Houses, The Church etc etc. They clash in "secret wars" over internal affairs, and camouflage these as "lone gunmen" or acts of terror.
But that is just speculation, of course. It is the brazenness of the blatant coverups that gets to me, so that I try to figure out what could possibly be so important that they would risk everything by doing it in public in broad daylight. And I came to the conclusion that something as intangible as a little bit more fear in the public mind is not it - because that would presume a Grand Conspiracy; that the act would benefit whoever is in power (publicly) right now, and I refuse to believe that there is such a cohesive leadership of the Deep State.
No, these massacres must be about something far more important than the collective minds of us commoners. Something far more specific.
You're statement here is exactly correct.
"but I would suggest that the motive is clearly terrorism , the definition of which is "the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims."
Motives are spot on. Don't forget the Saudi coup d'état, however you're spot on again with the so-called speculation, as this was internal warfare & the people were the tools for a political & monetary reasons. *"The Age of Surveillance Capitalism" by Shoshana Zuboff
So this statement is again exactly right. Who's who and what each was doing in this another matter.
"Rather, I believe that there are different factions fighting each other. Big Tech, Big Oil, Big Banking, Military Industrial Complex, Old Money, Old Royal Houses, The Church etc etc. They clash in "secret wars" over internal affairs, and camouflage these as "lone gunmen" or acts of terror."

If anything, it's more likely that operatives from a certain other Middle Eastern country were involved.
More misdirection?
[ * Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal doesn't even own it outright. Bill Gates is another big shareholder]
The Saudi coup d'état is a de facto change in management here in the USofA. Vegas translates in to under-cutting the support for the former ruling gang here in the USofA, and which was receiving support from the previous management in Saudi Arabia, evidently because there was a shared interest. What took place here in the USofA was in reality a decapitation move to remove that backing. No other option was available since the only other way to remove that backing was by literal invasion and it was to the advantage of the rulers to not bring that kind of destruction upon that nation since it evidently has been working hand in hand with the ruling entity.
I do not necessarily disagree with whom that ruling entity actually is.
Some of the former elite's turned state's evidence and are playing ball with the new management. Evidently not themselves being too deeply involved with unsavory issues which the rulers have decided are too great a liability.
Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal freed from detention for example.
I agree with you. What I'm saying is that what happened here created the pretext/authorization for what happened in Saudi Arabia. Understand?
Those former Saudi Royal's had to be removed in order to remove people here in the USofA, and whom the rulers decided where too great a liability or whom they could no longer deal with effectively.
So, If the mass shooting was exposed as an engineered attack on the American people, and for the political objectives of people wishing to tear up the Bills of Rights, then that would naturally lead back to their supporters & whom were who? They were the former Saudi Royals. So you see, this act brought about the events which took place in Saudi Arabia because there is a direct link back to the former backers of these political and economic kingpins here in the USofA. Understand? The mass shooting still fits with the long term agenda of destroying individual civil liberty. That angle still exists for exploitation and is being actively pursued.
The puppet master has not evidently changed, only the management has changed, but the objectives remain the same sorry to say, as evidenced by the actions of the ruling administration.
Well bear in mind that" " On 21 June, Saudi King Salman named his son Mohammed bin Salman as crown prince, relieving the previous crown prince, Mohammed bin Nayef, of all of his duties." (see link below) "A Saudi prince needs three sources of power to become king. In order of importance, they are the United States, the royal family, and the Saudi people, although the latter come a distant third in any calculation."

Vegas is Oct 1st, 2017, Obviously this was intentional and aimed at a specific state in the Union. It was aimed at it's people, the type of people at the event, and all of which has to do with gun ownership and individual rights. We've been on this path for a long time. Some group obviously is desperate to disarm the American People. Not all being invisible and some openly exposing themselves to this anti-liberty cause. It's also true that this was and is still is championed by the leftists, billionaires, and quite possibly foreigner's who have a interest in the USofA. Since these American Traitors are the de facto rulers of the USofA these outside foreigners must work with them and which includes supporting their agendas. American and Foreign Billionaires were behind the Vegas shooting. Not saying that's all there was to it by a long shot.
This is a war and I would suggest that some of the leftists have collected their dues for their treasons. Other's await their fate or change of heart. See above example on U-Turns.

Who the Saudi's back politically here in the USofA matters. It won't do to have the US at odds with Saudi Royalty. This has to be a working partnership. I would suggest that besides Treasonous American Billionaires, there were outside parties whom were entangled with a sweeping agenda, and that the events in Saudi Arabia came with the blessings of the American Government as a result. So in effect the change in power there was an act of survival on the part of the royals.
A power struggle for the riches of the USofA is what the American Political System has been about. Obviously the mass shooting in Vegas was organized, involved more than one shooter, probably a complete fire team. The championed drive by the leftists to destroy the Bills of Rights also left them and their supporters vulnerable.
I'm in my 60's and have carried a gun all my life, am an infantry vet, and have a lot of experience with weapons. I'd be hard pressed to do what they say one guy did who didn't have half or even a quarter of my experience, so that story stinks to high heaven in my opinion, but hey they can't say what the real story is.
I really can't say openly what I think, which is what others think, because quite frankly it's probably dangerous to do so.

I do not accept the accusation that Jason Goodman is a Massad agent. And in reference to the Maersk Memphis incident, the report to port athorities fully named the 4 shipping containers to be inspected. clearly limiting the scope of the incident. It was blown all out of proportions by the "official response" and the media. And to my knowledge, that ship mysteriously did NOT unload its cargo at the port, but returned to sea, then made a gargo transfer to another ship. Highly suspicious and unusual behavior.
Headshots also suggest a gunman shooting at ground level.
I accept that those 'mystery choppers' which didn't show up on that flightradar COULD have been involved in the operation, but there's no evidence of anything being fired from them. Also, a video taken from someone in the crowd showing muzzle flash and smoke coming from the suite in the Mandalay Bay has finally surfaced:

On the general track that show was about: Saudi Srabia, ISIS, al Qaeda, Iran... they sure seem keen, let's say, to "pin it on Muslims."
Cullen also claims on that show - based on the published SWAT body cam footage of them entering after the breach - that the windows in the Mandalay weren't broken when they entered at 11:20pm. Just because you can't see two broken windows or broken glass from a few seconds of footage doesn't mean they weren't smashed out!
Poor Joe Napoli. The only one there who actually knows anything! At 1:04:30 he brings up the shell casings he saw on the ground outside the Tropicana, and reports that he has since heard of two other people speak up about seeing the same thing, then Goodman interjects to say: "And just now Joe you've seen evidence that indicates a helicopter was right there over your position..."
As if to say... what, exactly?? The shell casings fell out of the chopper and landed at his feet?
Re: the flash seen from ther Mandalay Bay, IF Paddock was set up as a Patsy with the intention of making it appear he was firing from that position, dummy flash can be easily orcastrated to make it appear that way.
Sadly, although there are still people asking questions and trying to investigate further. The MSM has moved on fmr this and it will never be fully and independantly investigated - look at the weight of evidence to refute the official 9/11 narrative yet nothing has happened in nearly 18 years.
I wouldn't expect many big PTB types attending that particular festival.
