Islamic State Claims Paddock Made “Careful Monitoring . . . in the City of Las Vegas”
Jihad Watch ^ | October 3rd 2017 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 10/04/2017 1:52:17 AM PDT by Jacquerie

Full title: Islamic State claims Paddock made “careful monitoring of the Crusader gatherings in the city of Las Vegas”

“…he became a martyr As [sic] Allah and His Messenger and the believers believe, but most people do not know.”

Indeed. Most people believe the Islamic State is lying in claiming any connection to this, and that Paddock was not a convert to Islam. But ISIS continues to claim the attack anyway, and does not have a history of claiming credit for attacks for which they were not responsible. Maybe they’ve started doing so now. Maybe not.

Because it is an ongoing investigation.

Now that the lady friend is back in the USA, more info is going to come out.

One thing I have not seen much on was the amount of money this guy went through. Sending $100,000 to the Philippines, owning numerous firearms and loads of ammunition, booking multiple suites at various hotels. He was a gambler but the indications were that he was not that successful. Has anyone seen what his net worth happened to be?

Two things bother me about the people laughing at ISIS involvement. 1)ISIS usually does not claim something unless they have some type of involvement even if it is just a little. 2)There is talk that the videos were live streamed to another party(if true that would say larger group).

I’m not there as I do know people who have not checked in to the ‘establishment’ from back in the early 70’s. People I served with in Iran are very hard to find if not impossible. Some I know are the Jeremiah Johnson types. Kinda like Rush’s old frequent caller Mick from the high mountains of New Mexico. It was months after his passing that Rush was finally notified through the vine.

Being that he worked for the IRS for 10 years, how many people want to be known for working for that agency?

This would seem to be confirmed by the fact police are looking into him renting a room overlooking another concert venue the weekend before.

Here is an unverified tidbit being reported on Twitter about the women in the crowd warning people they were going to die. There were reports from Manchester of a woman giving the same warning.

I do have a good point.

Be careful in regards to BOTH the old msm and the conspiracy theories nut jobs.

I believe the mainstream narrative as much I believe the narrative of 911 and JFK.

Funny how any theory outside of the mainstream media is considered a “nut job.” Like we must always believe the gov’t narrative.

Who benefited from this massacre?

There is our answer.

Who benefited from this massacre? AND -There is our answer!

I appreciate your explanation, yet at the same time have to question your faith that authorities will reveal the truth if does not suit their agenda.

People ask a lot of questions and are digging with urgency and frustration because once they present a theory of ‘lone-nut’ or ‘lone-wolf’ all trails are bound to have magically disappeared.

If they really wanted to get to the bottom of this travesty they would have sought help from people (witnesses) who had been in contact with him in the hours, days or months prior to this massacre. A clear photo with his eyeballs open should have been released.

After the FBI’s handling of the Clintons led by the Comey-hack, how can you have faith? They certainly have NOT represented a body of Truth or Justice.

The fact that this shooting has caused a massive call for gun control, even by some on the right, may in fact be the motivation which caused it in the first place.

Was it Sal Alinski who said you have to break some eggs.

Now this may make some sense. My wife has to have back treatments, minor invasive, which the doctor prescribes just two of these to be taken when I have take her in for the treatment. She literally loses two days memory from them and then on the back side, starts to become rather irritable for the silliest little things for a couple weeks after.

Evading the abysmal record of the fbi....

Xanax or Valium are not primary cause of this atrocity.

This was a guy hell-bent on executing white folk.

He was a gambling boozing socially inept loner.

He may have had encouragement, support or accomplices of the antifa or isis persuasion that brought it all to a head.

They have claimed things that weren't true in the past.

If there was a connection between the shooter and ISIS and it turned out that he was a bad Muslim or said things he shouldn't have it could embarrass them.

Sometimes it's easier to just make things up.

I believe this was a deep state op, designed to hurt Trump into submitting.

Evidence? There are few people willing to die while killing others, and we know who those few usually are. His conversion to Islam made him one of them. Samir al-Hajib believed that paradise awaited as a reward for killing Infidels.

They should have found prayer rugs, Korans and other Islamic paraphernalia in Paddock’s homes. But of course they may not want it public as of yet.

The concern may be that the American people will rise up and the munitions factories in mosque basements may start having explosive "accidents", and that Muslim males will be found dead in "random" locations.

It is that conspiracy theories really hurt the conservative movement and make those who are in this movement look bad. Just my opinion.

I hear ya.

However, if it is a choice of getting to the truth or looking bad(to whom? the left?) I choose the latter.

Peace to you and all our brothers and sisters.
