The Las Vegas Shooting Is Still Very, Very Strange
National Review ^ | October 17, 2017 | by DAVID FRENCH

Posted on 10/17/2017 2:59:25 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Before I begin, let me re-emphasize what I stated in a post the afternoon after the shooting. Do not read this post as implying any sort of conspiracy theory. In fact, even now — more than two weeks after the terrible event — we don’t even know enough facts to concoct a conspiracy. We do know, however, that the story keeps getting more bizarre.

The fact that a man could plan one of the worst mass murders in American history and do so without leaving the typical trail of clues and intentions is deeply unsettling. Time and again when mass shooters strike, they leave a trail of bread crumbs — whether they’re deteriorating mentally or radicalizing (or both), the warning signs are often obvious and warnings have often been given. Not this time.

To be sure, the police know more than the public, and perhaps they know or strongly suspect the motive and haven’t yet disclosed it, but to experience this level of ignorance so many days after a mass shooting is highly unusual. There’s no cause for conspiracy theories, but there’s ample cause for curiosity and confusion. A strange shooting remains very, very strange.

The absence of ANY new information on this massacre in over a week is very strange. Nothing. Zip. Nada.

Crazy how quiet everything has got on this.

Crazy that certain” investors”were selling shares in Vegas businesses hours before.

Something is being hidden

There’s no cause for conspiracy theories,

With the swamp dwellers in our government there is ALWAYS cause. Always!

Agreed. It went from gun control debate to hardly any coverage.

Did the police ever say any more about whether he had hoped to escape or where he might have planned to go?

I wondered if he had second places of attack planned.

It was interesting that he had reserved rooms at other concert events. I heard he couldn’t get the room he wanted at the lourdes + rap concert, and didn’t use res for some other concerts out of town.

I see Sheriff Lombardo has blocked Laura Loomer from his Twitter feed.

I’ll give law enforcement the benefit of the doubt for now. If they’re looking for possible accomplices they are completely right to keep things quiet so as not to spook the people they’re looking for.

On the nature of American conspiracy in high places, I stand with President John Quincy Adams.

A theory which would, ironically and most certainly, implicate David French as one of the conspirators against whom President Adams and Reverend Charles Finney led the cultural and political charge...

I still can’t figure out what exactly the CIA has against Country Music.

I'm on LLs Twitter and not the Sheriff's.

I saw on You Tube, documentation of Paddock flying to Phoenix on September 19th and driving back the same day in a rental car.

What was that about? He went 92 miles out of the way. His girlfriend had not gone to PI yet.

No one is asking.

I strongly suspect this guy was an FBI or CIA asset or engaged in money laundering for some criminal enterprise.

put the hopium pipe down ok, the very last person on the planet I would ever trust to be truthful always wears a badge.

Funny, I assume EVERYTHING “law enforcement” says is a LIE.

Personally, I think ISIS was involved and the LE silence is not so much a conspiracy to cover it up as it as an attempt to protect an anti-terrorism operation. I read the Spanish and French press and there have been several jihadi funding and arms smuggling groups shut down since Las Vegas. LE forces have also released info on ISIS and ISIS inspired cells and individuals who had already been quietly wrapped up early this year.

So yeah, I think it’s odd, but it seems to me like something is happening. Something good, that is.

Cover up for some reasons I do not know.
