The Las Vegas Massacre Is Exactly What It Appears To Be – Stephen Paddock Was A Terrorist
IWB ^ | Ruby Henley

Posted on 10/04/2017 11:16:46 AM PDT by davikkm

A former FBI Special Agent says the profile of Las Vegas shooter, Stephen Paddock is not easily deciphered. “This is not traditional,” said the agent, David Couvertier, who interrogated numerous suspects during his lengthy FBI career. Paddock’s ability to seal himself off is the first clue. Couvertier said Paddock’s career working in the postal service and IRS is telling, also.

Paddock had an uncomfortable childhood being moved from place to place by his Father, who was on the FBI’s MOST WANTED LIST. It must been have been lonely existence for the young man.

Paddock grew up to be a millionaire with a seemingly good life. What went wrong? Did he convert to Islam and follow ISIS? Most likely he was working with ISIS. This attack should not be a surprise, as ISIS had threatened to target Las Vegas some time ago.

Although Islamic terrorist group, ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack stating Paddock converted to Islam months ago, authorities are saying there is no evidence to prove the lone wolf had any links to the organization. I think in time, they will reveal it was indeed an ISIS related terror attack.

I’m actually open to the possibility that this was an ISIS-related attack that had nothing to do with Islam.

ISIS-related attack

Should be presumed with this pattern after so many years and incidents.

ISIS called for a lone wolf attack on the Las Vegas Strip in a chilling ‘call to arms’ video released in May, 2017

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4940156/ISIS-video-called-lone-wolf-attack-Las-Vegas.html

A propaganda video by ISIS that emerged in May called for a lone wolf attack on the Vegas Strip.

The video the terrorist group that showed footage of Caesar’s Palace, the Bellagio Hotel and other icons from the casino row on South Las Vegas Boulevard.

Though the footage has been determined to be from 2015, authorities deemed the threat credible - particularly in the wake of the Manchester Arena massacre, and as the then coming Memorial Day holiday weekend which was expected to bring big crowds to The Strip.

‘I think anytime somebody goes on the internet and makes a threat that they’re going to conduct a lone-wolf or any type of attack, it’s our responsibility to view it as a credible threat,’ Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Capt. Christopher Darcy, who heads the Southern Nevada Counter-Terrorism Center, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

federal “connections.”

his dad.

little things. little things.

“Authorities” have not had time to audit all his electronic devices, check his finances, go over the papers and items found in his homes. They blurted out there was no radical islam link for one reason, to try and divert attention away from the most obvious cause. Trump needs to find out who authorized that FBI statement and fire them on the spot. (He won’t).

Im guessing he likely worked outside the law.
If not a Muslim himself.. he wouldn’t have a problem struggling drugs, guns ..or people for them.
His gambling and real estate was how he laundered his ill gotten loot.

I'm not going to bite until someone comes up with actual evidence instead of a "makes sense to me!" gut feeling or whatever.

I wouldn’t be too surprised Paddock was an “outsourced” job for ISIS or even the Norks.

But other possibilities such as Health or just an Grade A asshole come before that possibility.

“Paddock’s ability to seal himself off is the first clue. “

It’s the first clue that he was a career criminal and conman like his dad. Seeking to be ‘invisible’ is what professional criminals seek to do.

Perp was a longtime, bigtime, international high-roller. The casinos must know a lot about him.

Especially since the Sheriff slipped during his presser and used the word “radicalized”.

Could he be a plant from OUR federal government? What better way to get gun control rolling when you attempt to kill thousands? This has ticked off many of my friends who now think something should be done about guns. The lack of motive so far has me wondering.

How did he become a millionaire? Having a work history with the US postal service and the IRS doesn’t seem to be the answer. There is something very weird about this story of him and his “girlfriend,” who is married to two men.
