I saw a new one:
The Establishment sees clearly that New Media is something to understand, something to contend with. New Media is not tiny now and in 10 years it will be huge. I would venture to say "the guppie will inevitably swallow the whale".
The Permanent State set up a laboratory, if you will:
The better to study, control and thwart New Media, the Establishment initiated an incident CERTAIN to receive intense coverage at an exact time and place of their own choosing.
They pre-installed a really exotic level of monitoring, then they kicked things off:
They're now conducting an exhaustive digital study of the digital patterns resulting from The Experiment.
Obvious objects of focus include Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and many others --like US.
The objective isn't anything silly like, "To be Super Mean", no. Their aim is to understand the patterns at a KNOWN time so that they can better understand the likely patterns arising from an incident foisted upon them at random by an outsider actor or unknown quantity.
In other words they're digitally re-arming in a way that accounts for the rise of New Media. The genie has gotten out of the bottle a little bit.
Via the Mandalay Massacre the Deep State is trying to cram him back in there, a bit.
Yeah, that is 101% Pie-in-the Sky speculation.
I’d agree except for all the shenanigans caused by the non-release of information; which distorts the response.
I have a 100% certain answer: the truth behind the Las Vegas massacre is CLASSIFIED.
or maybe las vegas city government is really incompetent, and maybe their police department has no experience in investigating mass shooting incidents where half of their annual murder rate is packed into a single hour. and maybe none of these sin-city officials are used to the glare national spotlight.
. . . and so maybe these stupid, unprepared, stage frightened, overburdened people say and do stupid stuff, just like unprepared, overburdened people are wont to do. then throw in the usual suspects trying to foment hysteria because they gain profit or prominence from it, and VIOLA — you have an explanation for everything we’ve seen that doesn’t require a medium sized army of conspirators.
simple, huh?
