Hmmm. Las Vegas Sheriff: “Did this Person get Radicalized Unbeknownst to Us" – Video 10/3/17
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | October 3, 2017 | Brian

Hmmmm. Did the Las Vegas Sheriff just reveal the direction their motive investigation is headed into why Stephen Paddock carried out the worst mass shooting in American History?

The Sheriff at the end of his conference, in answering a question, said they are being very careful because there are “defense lawyers” out there, and they want to do things properly in case something else develops beyond just Paddock’s involvement as the shooter. He actually uses the word “radicalized”. . . .

Plus the Left can’t come up with any way to tie him to us, and he has LESS online/grid present than hard-core spooks. Harry Reid/ISIS/child trafficking to Vegas?

>>Did he buy a ticket to the three day Concert?

Lee Harvey Oswald bought tickets to Dick Clark’s show at the Dallas Municipal auditorium for the night of JFK’s assassination. A lot of good they did him. The show was cancelled and Oswald was in jail.

yeah, but it’s interesting reading. I was just thinking about all the theories and it’s a lot like what I learned in art class about how our mind will continue a line even if it’s hidden. There was a sculptor who made a huge wheel but half was underground. We automatically think of the whole wheel.

Ok, now I go to thinking about how this fits theologically because God wants us to search for Him. So if there is all this stuff we don’t understand, God made us to actually try and figure out who He is. The more we search the more He reveals. Cool, eh?

While I don’t see the members of the Weather Underground standing in a window shooting down on the public below shouting “Top of the world, ma!”, they did plot to bomb an armory dance attended by hundreds.

Choice of weapon does not necessarily change the outcome or target.

As to whether this man subscribed to those hard core Leftist beliefs, who knows?

I’m thinking that Paddock was recently wealthy from a payout to do what he did.

You appear to be missing some basic info about Paddock. He was independently wealthy, having made a fortune in real estate.

He owned several homes, three airplanes, and was known as a high roller around the casinos.

I told you a billion times not to exaggerate: I have seen several reports that his net worth was in the $2 million range. That is not "independently wealthy," even without children. I have also read that he owned two airplanes, not three, but none since 2009 (repossessed?, and that he was a very low, high roller.

>>Why did he bust out two windows?

I wonder if the first was “in error”, didn’t afford him the prime position he wanted, or maybe to distract as to which window the shots came from, or maybe to draft out the smoke from the bullets (which set off the smoke alarms anyhow).


Still, it seems he brought way more weapons than he actually used.

I think he may have had an accomplice that backed out at the last minute.

If he were AntiFA, Would he or AntiFA want him to be identified as a Nazi or a communist?

Orgy of violence, he brought all of his toys.

How many handguns did he bring and how many did he actually use?

Bang through the door at the security guard and bang to his own head.

ISIS is claiming responsibility, and those claims are usually true.

ISIS are a bunch of subhuman braggarts who claim responsibility for every terrorist attack on the planet.

Take the word of terrorists? Sure thing...

LOL. well, you go right on with your theory, then.

Paddock was obviously broke, and committed this massacre for money.

Except for the fact that he had NO escape plan, and NO way to collect his payoff, your theory makes perfect sense.

Paddock was not a registered Democrat or Republican and was not registered to vote in Florida, where he had a permanent home address.

I stand with with Israeli Intel sources:

How reliable are ISIS’s claims of responsibility? In ITIC assessment, most of the attacks
for which ISIS claims responsibility were in fact carried out by its operatives (planned
attacks), or by terrorists who were inspired by the organization (inspired attacks).
However, those are exceptional cases. For example, through its Amaq news agency, ISIS
claimed responsibility for the combined shooting and stabbing attack carried out near the
Nablus Gate in the Old City of Jerusalem (June 16, 2017). According to the announcement, the
attack was carried out by the “lions of the caliphate in the Palestine Province [of ISIS].” In ITIC
assessment, the announcement was false, and reflected ISIS’s desire to boast of a
4
159-17
success in a symbolic location such as “Palestine,” given the severe pressure exerted on
the organization in Syria and Iraq.
In conclusion, an examination of the claims of responsibility revealed a connection
between the pattern of announcement and the nature and location of the attack. Shortform
announcements seem to indicate an ISIS-inspired attack, usually carried out in a
Western country, primarily by Muslims or people who have converted to Islam, been
radicalized, and identify with ISIS’s ideology. Long-form announcements, on the other
hand, seem to indicate a previously-planned ISIS attack. They are usually carried out in
Syria, Iraq and Arab-Muslim countries, where ISIS has high operational capabilities.4 Videos
are included in claims of responsibility for both ISIS-inspired attacks and planned
attacks. The difference between them is that in ISIS-inspired attacks the inclusion of a video
is improvised and inserted on the initiative of the terrorists who carry them out, and then
disseminated by ISIS’s propaganda machine. In planned attacks, publishing videos is part of
preparations for the attack and attention is given to the aspect of propaganda. ISIS uses
many languages in its announcements, depending on the target audience (Arabic and
English are popular languages for the videos).

"...disseminated by ISIS’s propaganda machine. In planned attacks, publishing videos is part of preparations for the attack and attention is given to the aspect of propaganda."

Pattern recognition may not be your strong suit.
