Thank God for Trump…

Guest Post by Eric Peters

Trump is like a set of studded tires. They suck most of the time, but then comes a blizzard – and you are grateful.

Just so now.

If he were not jefe and instead we had her instead, it is probable that – before this day is out, an emergency executive order would emanate from Washington, outlawing the possession of “weapons of war” (as she has styled them) by other-than-government-workers and, of course, the people such as this Stephen Paddock character. The laws – and strict punishments – that attend murder didn’t much persuade him. It is doubtful new laws would have much if any power to restrain the next Paddock.

Most people understand this.

So does she, incidentally. It is why she has a cordon of heavily armed protectors with her whenever she goes out and around her the rest of the time, too. Those guns do not “kill,” apparently.

Yet some people will still plead for “sensible” measures. Meaning, criminalize the possession of firearms by people who’ve not shot anyone. Put them in prison because someone else did.

It makes all kinds of sense.

But 200 people! Only “weapons of war” could facilitate such carnage! Well, no. Shooting people is actually a very inefficient way to kill lots of people. Ask Heinrich Himmler, the Reichsfuhrer of the German SS.  It became a chore to do away with people one bullet at a time. Hence the gas.

Or, explosives.

Until this Vegas thing, the most deadly mass killing at an American school was not done with guns but with bombs. In Bath Township, Michigan in 1927. Andrew Kehoe planted several bombs, some of which went off (but not all). He succeeded in killing 38 kids and about 60 others. It is interesting that fewer people have ever heard of this massacre than remember a third tall building collapsed on 911. Everyone knows “Columbine,” meanwhile.

Warum – as they say in Germany?

Undoubtedly, it is because bombs don’t fit the agenda, notwithstanding their superior effectiveness at killing large numbers of people. Hence, “Bath” it is not a trigger word brayed unctuously by the media donkeys and, of course, her.

There is also a racial fritz.

She would have had a field day with this Paddock guy, a “deplorable” in every way, it appears. Old and white. Likely disgruntled. No official news yet, but he probably will turn out to not like “people of color” (white people being, of course, translucent).

Meanwhile, the other shooting, which happened just a couple of days ago in TN, barely got any coverage on the day it happened and has since evaporated like mist on Mars. Emmanuel Sampson – a guy of black color – shot up a church full of white people. It is likely he did not like them – probably on account of their translucence. When the shooter-victim roles are reversed, we all know what the results are. Endless unctuous braying about “hate.” Sampson hated just as much but the unction is nonexistent. It does not fit the agenda.

Back to her.

Imagine she is jefe today. You are waking up, have just turned on the news. A “deplorable” has shot up a concert, the highest body count to date.

Better start clinging.

This event would provide a pretext similar to that of 911 – for which a “Patriot Act” just happened to be handy. Already written, in fact. It wasn’t read but it sure got passed – by overwhelming vote because if you’re not with us, you’re against us. The flag. Etc.

It is certain that a similar document is also written – and ready. Waiting for her signature. Or the signature of someone like her, just waiting. Elizabeth Warren, for instance.

Lucky for us – and for all his numerous faults – the national cockatiel (as my amigo Fred Reed styles him) will not be signing it. Because he does not fit the agenda – on this score, at least.

And for that, we should all be extremely, extraordinarily grateful on this second day of October, 2017.

I’m thinking Paddock or any other terrorist could have done just as much or more carnage tossing pipe bombs down from the 32nd floor into a crowd that had little means of escaping.

And I doubt it takes some kind of terrorist mastermind to make and use pipe bombs or that it is difficult to find the materials needed to make them.

(FWIW, in China where guns are not available to the people in anything but negligible numbers, bombings happen all over the country on a frequent basis so it can’t be that hard to make them.)

Largest, non-nuclear explosion – USS Grandcamp:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_City_disaster

The Texas City disaster was an industrial accident that occurred April 16, 1947, in the Port of Texas City. It was the deadliest industrial accident in U.S. history, and one of the largest non-nuclear explosions. Originating with a mid-morning fire on board the French-registered vessel SS Grandcamp (docked in the port), her cargo of approximately 2,200 tons (approximately 2,100 metric tons) of ammonium nitrate detonated,[1] with the initial blast and subsequent chain-reaction of further fires and explosions in other ships and nearby oil-storage facilities. It killed at least 581 people, including all but one member of the Texas City fire department.[2] The disaster triggered the first ever class action lawsuit against the United States government, under the then-recently enacted Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), on behalf of 8,485 victims.

3,000 tons blast equivalent.

Vince,what happens when the roundups begin,well,considering there are any where from 300-600 million guns in this country in private hands depending on what #’s you can trust even with 300 million the high mark really doubt they will get more then say a million before revolt happens,then 4th gen fight is on.I wouls also remember,though important firearms are just one tool in a box full of tools when times get very ugly,just non cooperation including working/paying taxes ect. can cause a severe slow/partial shutdown of govt.,not even the lack of monies but the lack of faith,will try us all though very dearly,lets hope that is not where we as a country are headed.

To make this day even worse at least for his family and fans of his music Tom Petty just died.I saw a few of his shows over the decades and had great times partying ect. with others,like those folks at yesterdays concert just trying to have a good time.sigh………..

What happens then…we die…but that is ok, because death on the field protecting our right to keep and bear arms…is sacred compared to having our arms, literally, handcuffed behind us and then led to the gallows…the shameful death of a captive. What possible good could living a few more days peeping through the bars of incarceration, without our guns do us? Death with honor, that is the answer. It is the only answer, there is no substitute. thanks

Listening to Alex Jones on the internet (I know he’s not the best source) he is claiming all sorts of Islamic and Antifa literature was found at the shooters home (or maybe room).

Maybe, maybe not, but it will be interesting to see what develops from it and if anything is released to confirm or disprove it.

In any event, he played audio of the shooting that certainly sounds like a fully automatic or otherwise modified weapon, sounds more like an AK fire rate than an AR fire rate to me, but audio heard over an internet broadcast is not really a good source to draw any conclusion about it.

Greetings,

No, here is how I see things:

1. This shooter, like all the others, is taking anti-psychotics. The news, which 100% depends on advertising from big pharma, will bury this info.
2. The shooter was a Never-Trump lunatic leftist and targeted people he thought might be Trump supporters. MSM will 100% bury this info.
3. The shooter had become radicalized somehow by ISIS. Since this isn’t a false flag by the FBI or CIA, it will be buried by the deep state. After all, how can they admit that they their super surveillance state missed all the clues?

I said this to my wife also—” I know it sounds nuts and I’m a cynic, but what if this guy had nothing to do with it. It could very well have been a CIA operative who killed this man first, then did all of the shooting for some purpose–we’d never know anything beyond what the CIA/CFR controlled media tells us regardless.”
I don’t want to sound like a “CIA-boogeyman” type whacko, but my point is, we are going to get the narrative THEY want us to have. It is that simple. There will be no investigative reporting and we will only be told the background of this alleged shooter in the context and storyline they wish to push.

If they want to try and spur the Trump supporters and traditionalist Americans to fighting fervor, then he’ll be antifa or a “never-trump” type. If they want to re-escalate Middle East involvement now that Iran/Russia/Syria have decimated ISIS then we’ll hear of an ISIS connection. Heck, his wife is “Asian”, maybe they’ll make him out to be a N Korea sympathizer…they cannot let a crisis go to waste even if it means they must create the crisis event.
No doubt in my mind that this was a planned event no matter what ( that much fire power is not “just snapped” but carefully planned ahead)..also the targeting of people at a Country Music Venue full of white, mostly conservative and patriotic types is no coincidence or randomly selected target group.

Surveillance video would have shown someone leaving the room, and it is sort of unlikely that he escaped through the windows spiderman style without anyone seeing him.

Why would he be in the room with all those weapons to start with if he wasn’t doing the shooting?

I agree, HSF. I heard on the early news that the police had triangulated and were on the way to the 32nd floor just NINE MINUTES after the shooting started. That is some really, really good tracking going on.

Two or three comments below, I see a suggestion there is video of flashes from another window. I haven’t seen that yet.

“Hence the gas.” Nice to see you won’t waste this opportunity to embed a little pseudocaust progaganda. Also nice how you incorporated it into the bit about Clinton’s hypocritical stance on gun ownership. This serves to strengthen the “truth” of your casual holohoax reference relative to her disingenuousness.
In your own low-T, Boomer cuck way you are as bad as she. You use this tragedy to casually virtual signal your continued belief in one of the most toxic anti-white, anti-western memes ever created to earn a pat on the head from you masters. GOOD GOY!

Just watched a live press conference with the local Sheriff and he mentioned that they found a “bag of fertilizer” in the guy’s car. He gave it his best shot at “aluminum prostate” before an unseen figure off screen corrected him with “ammonia nitrate”.

Ah, yes, of course, same stuff the OKC bomber allegedly used just sitting there in it’s raw form just to help cement the nefariousness of the dead suspect. If only he hadn’t been so busy he would have builded a bomb.

That Facebook video does not look like a strobe to me. Why wouldn’t there be similar flashing in the surrounding windows?

Moreover, it is the only video I’ve seen that remotely showed the type of muzzle flash one would expect from an automatic rifle. The lower floor in the center of the hotel also corresponds to the early 911 reports. And in none of the videos was there any type of muzzle flash on the 32nd floor as claimed; but most of the videos are pretty shaky, and shot from far away, so it’s hard to tell.

Even so, although it’s too early to make any real judgments, we skeptics should probably look around elsewhere, away from the sparkling lights. I suspect there is something larger happening we are not meant to see. At least not yet. What might it be?

Here we go again….there were at least 2 shooters and this cabbie’s video proves it. First, listen to the audio as the piece starts…you’ll hear auto gunfire from VERY nearby, then another burst from farther away. THEN at about 5:05 you’ll see flashes from a window MUCH lower than 32 floors. This gal has the “smoking gun” (pardon the pun) whether she knows it or not.

The differing volume of the rounds being fired is apparant prior to her rolling up the car window. And you can clearly see the muzzle flashes from the lower floor above her vehicle as she pulls away from the lobby entrance area. If this video and the Facebook video above aren’t smoking guns, I don’t know what would be. The shots being fired from the lower floor clearly do not correspond to the official narrative. WTF. Nothing is as it seems.

EDIT: But then again at the 5-minute mark, the flashes may not match exactly to the sound of the shots. And it’s hard to tell what floor. It could be a strobe after all or is, in fact, muzzle flashes but viewed at the expected variance between the speed of light and sound. Guess we’ll have to stay tuned and see what shakes out.

EDIT #2 – I just went back to view the video again to double-check the floor (and see if it was the fourth). And now it appears the video has been scrubbed. I’m getting an error message that says the URL signature has expired. What an unfortunate coincidence.

Not much can be done by someone willing to go to extremes of planing and preparation to execute that plan regardless of how well you think you have ensnared the entire population to prevent it from taking place !
I witness red light runners regularly perhaps we should confiscate all the cars and trucks oh let’s not forget that speeding school bus , no air bags or seat belts let’s end all this for the children !
Some tragic events can be prevented like a group of Saudi Arabian nationals living here on expired visas learning to fly an airliner but not concerned about take off or landing and some can’t , like a lone wolf nut job that smuggles ammo and firearms into a busy casino / hotel . I bet you couldn’t slip out of there with a tray of $50 dollar chips though !

I also suspect the CIA and Mossad could be responsible and all evidence will disappear. As for another possible cause, in 1966 a student who had complained of violent impulses, shot and killed 18 people from the University of Texas School Tower. An autopsy revealed a small brain tumor that might have been the cause. TPTB definitely want to create Chaos, declare Martial Law, kill the Internet, confiscate private guns and Preppers supplies, destroy the dollar, round up Conservatives for FEMA Camps etc. I am thankful for Trump defeating Harpy and I believe it was by God’s Intervention, not Russians.

They are talking guns because they don’t want to talk MOTIVE. This guy is not ISIS. but he probably is RESIST! The last thing the cathedral wants to have to admit that the only mental illness this guy had was trump derangement syndrome.
It is clear that this attack was planned in detail , in very minute detail . The shooter is very organized and would not have chosen a group of people at random after all that work..
I believe that the attack was politically motivated . He was a wealthy man and not some loner youth at the average age of onset for schizophrenia, like adam lanza. He was a very successful person professional , and was getting … had a girlfriend.

The media has not said anything about the killers social media posts or activity. They also have shown no interest in talking to the former coworkers and friends of this guy.
The only source of the idea that he ” wasn’t political ” is His brother who admits that they ” aren’t close” .

They seem really eager to paint this as an ” unexplained event with no motive” .

If you ask yourself ” would a man go through ENORMOUS amounts of planning and not have any reason for attacking the particular group he did? He had to choose that particular group of people for some reason. What kind of people come to mind when you think country music?
