With so much information and news reaching us, it’s easy to become overburdened and burned out on the world around us and the things taking place. It is true, too, that the mainstream media dictates what stays center in the mind of the public and what is allowed to fade away and be forgotten. It is of the utmost importance we remain aware – however exhaustive it may be – of stories that just don’t add up.
Enter the Las Vegas shooting; the worst mass-shooting in U.S. history…
On October 1, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock opened fire on a country music festival from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel, which overlooked the festival venue. Paddock’s onslaught left 58 dead and 546 injured.
A full month later, and we are still without any answers. Even more worryingly, the Vegas shooting has disappeared from any cable news channel. Even online, discussion over the shooting has all but vanished, save from the more conspiratorial corners of the web.
Here are the facts:
The official timeline of the Vegas shooting has changed three times. A week before the attack, Paddock wired $100,000 to an account in the Philippines. Paddock also took cruises to ports in the Middle East. Paddock’s laptop was also missing its hard drive when recovered in his hotel room.
Despite a month of being told otherwise, it’s now been revealed that police did discharge fire in Paddock’s hotel room upon entry… but why, if Paddock had already killed himself before police breached the room?
Jesus Campos is the security guard who first reportedly found Paddock as he started his killing spree, and was shot in the leg in the process. However, he not only disappeared after scheduling several television interviews, but it’s now been revealed Campos reportedly left the country just days after the Vegas shooting.
Why did authorities let Campos leave the country in the middle of an investigation? How did Campos travel unhindered with a gunshot wound in his leg?
Not only that, but Campos was said to have been last heard from when he went to a walk-in health clinic… but a spokesperson for UMC Quick Care – the facility Campos supposedly went to – said they had “heard nothing” about Campos visiting them.
On top of all of that, Campos only re-emerged to do a fluff, softball interview on Ellen. DeGeneres guides Campos along the interview, essentially framing and explaining the timeline of events so Campos didn’t have to. At times, the interview even seems scripted. Don’t take my word for that, I implore you to watch and see if you agree:
Plainly, things aren’t adding up with the Vegas shooting. Paddock was in an area with extremely heavy surveillance, yet no stills or video of him have been released to the public. No potential motive has been released. Really, no answers to any of the questions that arose in result of the story not adding up have been addressed… instead, the Vegas massacre has vanished from cable news channels and the public mind.
Another note to add, in just the span of a month, 4 survivors of the Vegas shooting have died. Notably, both Kymberley Suchomel and Danny Contreras both publicly claimed there were multiple gunmen the night of the mass shooting. Dennis and Lorraine Carver died after their Mercedes smashed into a metal gate and exploded into flames. Per CNN:
The couple’s youngest daughter, 16-year-old Madison Carver, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that she heard the crash from her bedroom. When she ran outside and down the street to find out what had happened, she recognized her family’s vehicle in flames.
By the time their daughter heard the crash (which only happened about a half mile from the Carver’s home) and ran down the road to see what had happened, the car was engulfed in flames… Much like everything else pertaining to the Vegas shooting, the story just doesn’t make sense.
Here we are, a month later – with exactly what we had immediately in the aftermath of the shooting: nothing. No answers, no coverage, no questions… nothing.
All of us should be asking many questions – if only to ourselves – about why the narrative behind Vegas isn’t adding up…
Compare the massacre in Vegas to the terrorist attack that happened yesterday in New York. Within hours, we knew the name of the terrorist, had a picture of him, had his history as a refugee in the U.S. under a “diversity visa”, and had a note declaring allegiance to ISIS. We have timelines and what the terrorist was doing in the hours, days before the attack…
…yet in the case of Stephen Paddock, nothing.
We owe it to the victims to not let this simply fade away. We owe it to their memory to ask why the narrative behind the shooting stinks. We owe it to their legacy to question and demand answers from our public representatives when discussion and coverage is being obviously stone-walled. Nary a peep has come from any legacy media concerning Vegas in the past month, and that alone should make you question what’s really going on. You don’t have to delve into conspiracy theories or hack-witted ideas of a hoax. Merely ask yourself…
Where did the investigative coverage on the Vegas shooting go? Why did the story drop out of the news cycle with so many unanswered questions?
The worst mass-shooting in America yet and seemingly everyone has shrugged their shoulders, thrown up their hands, and declared indifference until the next one.
Also the missing hard drive and the phone charger without a phone and the suicided engineer…
What suicided engineer? Paddy was an accountant.
We had a lot of unexplained incidents back in the time of Bush Deuce. Media was quite mum. It was explained away as infrastructure failure. On one particular occasion, an entire bridge fell.
Shooters are not pit bull attacks and they can’t easily be explained away like the structural bombings.
Paddy is about the only perp that doesn’t fit the patterns; young, male, immigrant.
Like Murder on the Orient Express, everybody should be a suspect in this story. Jose Jesus Campos fits the pattern if Paddy does not. One second-hand witness said a security guard had been chased down. Maybe that’s where Campos got shot in the leg and not on the 32nd floor. I mean, come on, Campos says he got shot but he can’t elaborate where the shots came from, he can’t speculate how the shooter opened or didn’t open the door he had moments earlier heard being screwed shut or describe the scene in the hallway, Ellen has to guide him around the hotel drawing. Uh huh.

And no one mentions all the shootings at various hotels along the strip. Plenty of on scene witnesses.
Was anyone filmed dancing?
LVMPD has a history of mysterious evidence disappearances, cover-ups, and being a lap-dog for the Fed’s. Nothing would surprise me, except them being caught out. The only thing I’m sure of is the continuing call of the LEO muezzin “Nothing to see here citizen, move along”.
Maybe the questions got answered, and you are mistaking not being happy with the answers, with the fact that there were answers. Sometimes things just are what they are, and competent investigators have already got things sewn up. Nobody owes it to endlessly investigate every screwball’s theory. That’s one problem with the internet. Things can get a life of their own.
Look at the pictures of all those killed in the LV shooting. I counted them and it’s approximately 2/3 women and 1/3 men that were killed. I’m not trying to make any kind of conspiratorial point at all, but it raises a few questions. Do more women attend these events than men? Or is it that women are more likely to die of gunshot wounds than men? Are men more likely to run for cover faster than women? What?
33 women out of 58 is not 2/3. who did the real counting, your pet squirrel?
Other than the math issue noted, I also saw that it was more women than men. Many of the injuries and presumably some of the deaths were from trampling, not gunshot wounds. Women tend to be smaller, weaker, and slower, so they are more likely to get trampled and likely to suffer more severe injuries from a given level of trampling. Just a guess.
Due to smaller size, women are probably less likely to be hit by random gunfire. I don’t know if they would be more or less likely to due from a single gunshot wound.
“Many of the injuries and presumably some of the deaths were from trampling, not gunshot wounds.”
That’s pure speculation, at this point, it isn’t clear who died of what. However, it was an open arena and looking at the videos, trampling isn’t a concern. First, they would have to have a sense of where the shots were coming from. You see a section of folks hugging the ground, another area the people are standing and some are hurrying out of the arena while others are running out of their mind. Granted, trampling may be the cause for some injuries.
” Women tend to be smaller, weaker, and slower…”
The people were drinking, they were a mixed crowd of various age adults, some in good shape, others not so hot. Rating women against this is unfair, more likely everybody was in no condition to run a marathon just yet. But go to a 50% off sale and let me know how weak and slow women are.

“Rating women against this is unfair, more likely everybody was in no condition to run a marathon just yet.”
Oh noes, muh feelings!!!
Facts aren’t fair or unfair. Facts are facts. The fact is that women, on average, are smaller, weaker and slower than men, on average. This doesn’t change when people are tired or drunk. Averages are relevant to a crowd of this size. Everyone might be equally slow, tipsy and clumsy, staggering about with .10 BAC, and the women will still be smaller, weaker and slower than the men.
Don’t confuse your brainwashed politcally-correct reflexes with facts in actual reality.
By the way, pretending that there’s no biological differences between men and women results in poorer medical care for both. It’s been 20+ years since the medical community woke up and realized that some treatments and drugs that work for men don’t work equally well for women. It’s not unfair, it’s just… reality.
I still skim headlines in my usual haunts once per day but rarely have time to read much. 99% of all my Vegas shooting news comes from TBP or a few links posted in the comments here. Even my reading here has slowed because…life and shit. One thing I’m curious about is why aren’t the survivors speaking out and demanding answers? I don’t hear a peep about that. Didn’t hear jack shit from the Pulse night club survivors either. What about funerals or lawsuits?
I’ve looked at a lot of the videos (25) and have yet to see a realistic bullet wound. I don’t believe anyone was shot. A scan over the site revealed not one bullet hole in the canvas, signage, not one broken window, no blood on the floor, etc. This video below of the “Victims” is a hoot and you must watch it. It’s another total fabrication.
