This is from the Free Thought Project, about the timeline change in the Las Vegas shooting:
According to the first official timeline, Campos was shot in the leg while checking on an alarm. According to the original police-reported timeline, Paddock never fired on the crowd below again after shooting Campos.
But now, we are being told that is not what happened and we should believe their new story which is completely different. To be clear, this information was simple to find out as all they had to do was ask Campos who was only shot in the leg before he began shooting.
Did they ask Campos? If not, why not? If yes, did he change his story? In case you missed it, the timeline changed again late Friday when the Sheriff said Paddock didn’t shoot the hotel security guard at 9:59 after all, it was 10:05.
The closer we look at the facts, the less factual they become—exactly when Paddock checked in, who called who and when, stuff like that. And if we don’t like the official facts, Mandalay’s management has a different set. Facts don’t change, hence the name, but stories do, and usually for a reason.
Jesus Campos acts like a man with something to hide. Oddly, he turns out not to be licensed to work security in Nevada, and he was unarmed, almost as if his citizenship status isn’t all it should be. Then, minutes before a scheduled tevee interview, his union rep said Campos disappeared. Do the investigators know where he is?
“Right now I’m just concerned where my member is, and what his condition is. It’s highly unusual,” said the union rep. Officials told David Hickey, the union prez, Campos checked into “a clinic” shortly after standing up the press, but not why or which one. There’s an odd timeline all by itself.
Meanwhile, over at Paddock’s house, someone broke in after the police searched it and boarded it up. Hmm. Seems risky, especially if the place was under surveillance. If this were a detective novel we’d suspect there was something in there important enough to retrieve.
The SWAT team covered themselves with something other than glory. So far the investigation doesn’t inspire confidence. Every time we think we know something, we don’t. The news media, strangely incurious, is less interested in finding answers than pushing more gun control. The vacuum’s being filled with cockamamie theories that mostly defy physics and common sense. The only thing in short supply here is facts that stay facts.
I imagine the investigators know a whole bunch more about this than they are letting the public know.
The question I have would be: Why?
FWIW, keep your eye closely on Campos as he emerges in an unexpected and unexplained way, Lombardo as well. If you are familiar with intimidating people and the effects it has on them, there are obvious signs you can recognize in those who are intimidated. Watch to see if you recognize any in the coming days.
Oh no! Not another fucking conspiracy?
There is most likely a conspiracy here somewhere, a real one, but it isn’t about the hiding involvement in or the nature of the shooting itself.
It is one to keep the details and facts restricted from public knowledge for some reason, a reason unknown at this time.
But I think that will eventually fall through, too many very normal people have noticed something funny about what we are being told from the start (something funny being the immediate denial of any terrorist connection followed by a real lack of information that should be being heavily reported that aren’t being mentioned anywhere other than some alternative sites).
Funny, like all the gates being locked, and the place lit up like Times Square soon after the shooting started?
Arkancide?
I’d start with Paddock reportedly filing a 2015 income tax return claiming $5 mil in income from gambling. As Ann Coulter tweeted, saying you earn money playing video poker is like saying you earn money from smoking crack. Unless the income tax return “fact” is another un-fact, Paddock used gambling as a justification for some other illegal income. What was it? The security guard is probably an illegal and Mandalay is fucking with the timeline to avoid lawsuits for liability, but there is also something else weirder going on here. So yes, another conspiracy. It is what it is.
That is something I hadn’t considered before.
Gambling income claims using the IRS to legitimize income derived from other and illegal sources you don’t want to come to someone’s attention (someone such as LE agencies).
It would make sense for anything from drug dealers to clandestine arms dealers and all sorts of illicit activities in between.
This is really big huge can of worms.

It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma
I was watching the little guy and for some reason he is thrown forward instead of backwards in the direction of the drum spinning.
. . . for some reason he is thrown forward instead of backwards . . .
I think that’s hardscrabble farmer’s point.
SWAG (Scientific Wild Ass Guess): The same phenomenon that makes spoked wheels sometimes appear to rotate backwards in film / video.
I suspected that was his point and makes me wonder once more why the brain matter flew backwards onto the trunk of the car, that seems counter-intuitive.
A riddle, wrapped in a mystery shoved in an enigma, covered in ricotta cheese all wrapped in a canoli
More like covered in lox wrapped in a bagel.
No doubt Campos will commit suicide, double tap to rear of head.
Which is another reason – on top of monumental laziness – that journalists don’t do any journalizing these days. They tend to get whacked. See Michael Hastings. Andrew Breitbart. The person who exposed the Panama Papers and got blowed up real good about three days ago.
If Campos is really illegal – I doubt it, most illegals would be working in the kitchen or janitorial -he must be a DACA, he is quite comfortable speaking English with only a slight hint of an accent (to me anyway, I’m sure he sounds like Ricky Ricardo to folks from Boston).
Still, it must be galling to have the media painting a cubist Picasso of you. It must be like having your used underwear stolen and shown in great detail on tv and print.
He seems genuine, he just had a near-death experience like all the concert-goers that night.

“Don’t go there.”
Off camera voice instructs Las Vegas Sheriff not to answer journalist during presser.
Meanwhile…

Very little detail here as to when it was taped.
On Vegas channel 5 at 3 pm today.
I see he’s now doing the talk show circuit. This was a dem hit on repubs to goad them into a war to initiate martial law and confiscate guns.
raciss, the preview said it was his last public appearance. He’s not going on the talk show circuit.

This incident is getting curiouser and curiouser.
Missing Vegas Massacre Security Guard Resurfaces…
by Tyler Durden
Oct 18, 2017 11:10 AM
The mystery is over. After vanishing since last Thursday, wounded Las Vegas security guard Jesus Campos has been found… On the set of ‘Ellen’.
As we noted previously, the general story of Campos’ disappearance appears to have been confirmed by ABC journalist Stephanie Wash, who tweeted Thursday evening:
“Media scrum tonight as we learn security officer shot in Vegas attack, Jesus Campos’ whereabouts are unknown.”
“Jesus Campos was set to do 5 intvs tonight per union president, but they’ve lost contact. ‘We were in a room & we came out & he was gone,’” she also tweeted.
Then, David Hickey of the Security, Police, and Fire Professionals of America (SPFPA) told reporters Friday that he got a text the night before saying Jesus Campos was taken to a UMC Quick Care facility, though he did not specify where or whom the text came from.
A spokesperson at the UMC Quick Care, which has eight locations throughout the Las Vegas area, told Fox News on Monday that they had “heard nothing” about Campos visiting them.
And now, as Ellen herself tweeted this morning, we know where he is…
As The LA Times reports, Ellen DeGeneres’ television talk show is expected to broadcast the much-anticipated first interview with the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino security guard, who was the first shooting victim in the Oct. 1 massacre in Las Vegas.
In a recording of his appearance on “Ellen” obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Campos, who said he was “doing better each day, slowly but surely,” confirmed he had called in when he was shot – before the full rampage began.
But he gave few other details that would answer nagging questions about the response of hotel security and Las Vegas police.
He said he called security dispatch to transfer his call to the building’s engineers, who sent an engineer to examine the door.
“At that time I heard what I assumed was drilling sounds,” Campos said. (Officials have said that Paddock appeared to be drilling into a wall inside his room for unknown reasons.) As Campos walked down the hall, away from Paddock’s suite, the outer door of the access room, which was unblocked, closed loudly behind him.
“I believe that’s what caught the shooter’s attention,” Campos said. “As I was walking down, I heard rapid fire, and at first I took cover.” The gunman was shooting through the door of his hotel suite. “I don’t know how he was shooting.”
Campos felt a “burning sensation” and went to lift his pant leg up and, seeing blood, realized he’d been shot.
“That’s when I called it in on my radio that shots had been fired,” Campos said. “I was going to say that I was hit, but I got on my cellphone just to clear that radio traffic for — they can coordinate the rest of the call.”
looks like jesus decided to cash in and he’s had somebody negotiating for him–
