1- This is strange. ISIS just claimed Las Vegas attack. Arabic statement says shooter converted to Islam months ago. @jenanmoussa pic.twitter.com/LjJUcwB7Hy— Jenan Moussa (@jenanmoussa) October 2, 2017
2- I can confirm that the ISIS statement appeared on ISIS affiliated Amaq news agency. No evidence to back up claim. @akhbar— Jenan Moussa (@jenanmoussa) October 2, 2017
3- Contrary to public belief, ISIS does NOT claim every incident. Amaq claim on Las Vegas shooting should not be automatically dismissed.— Jenan Moussa (@jenanmoussa) October 2, 2017
4- Amaq by now has 2 Arabic statements. They also refer to the Las Vegas shooter as a "soldier of Islamic State." @akhbar pic.twitter.com/PfWQ0MhesJ— Jenan Moussa (@jenanmoussa) October 2, 2017
5- ISIS statements also appear on Nashir, a telegram account affiliated with ISIS. The news is of course spreading on many ISIS accounts.— Jenan Moussa (@jenanmoussa) October 2, 2017
ISIS often claims responsibility for attacks without proof or evidence. It should be noted U.S. authorities have denied throughout the morning this was an act of terror. As the facts come in, things can change.

The suspect, who killed himself upon police arrival, is 64-year-old Stephen Paddock. He carried out the attack from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel. He was in the hotel for days, watching as innocent people came and went to the Route 91 Harvest Festival. Last night during Jason Aldean's closing song, he reigned down a barrage of bullets on 22,000 people after shooting out the windows in his room.

We'll bring you more as we get it.
I meant to add this to that posting

“Same here!
“Waiting for the other shoe to drop!””
If that shoe does drop will the MSM actually report it?
You've never seen a KKK or Nazi claim that a murderer is theirs ever disputed by the Deep-State and Media.
What does that tell you? Who are they out to protect?
He was on 32nd floor. Not sure the people could have heard anything.
“Now the question remains: Did someone hear him shout Aluha Akbar?”
From 32 floors up and 1000 feet away in that chaos? Even if he did, no one would have heard him.
I think he was just an angry loser who snapped.
This took a lot of preparation and planning. The hotel was booked solid for months before this concert. He was able to get a room with an elevated view of the concert area and waited until Aldean was almost finished with his show. He had multiple weapons and built platforms to shoot off of. This isn’t some nut who goes off the deep end and pulls out his pistol. I just have a hard time buying the “snapped” theory.
Of course not, but what about from the same floor he was on, but unseen by the shooter? It would have been before the shooting.
Extremely unlikely in a suite on an upper floor...very large, well-appointed suites. They are not built with paper-thin walls like a La Quinta. The sound of someone shouting in a suite like that would not be heard unless you were listening at the door, even then it would be muted. These suites are very well built.
Since there are now other credible sources who may report it, most (but not all) of the MSM will feel the need to report it, too!
Many earlier reports attached a lot of significance to Paddock’s brother’s statement that Paddock was not political, not ideological, etc. Now some discussions on radio indicate that the brother in Florida and Paddock in Nevada had very little contact and the Florida brother probably did not know what his brother was or was not involved in.
Likely still a lot to be learned.
That’s one Helluva a lot of planning and implementation for a “snapped” episode. He didn’t just call and get that corner suite high up on a moment’s notice. This time of year is prime time on the Strip. I would be stunned to hear that reservation was made less than a month or two in advance...probably even longer ago. That a long-lived “snap.” This was a very long and well-planned operation...with A LOT of casing.
are muzzies allowed suicide?
We're in an internal war for control of the US. "Republicans" in the HOR and US Senate are enabling it to go on, even though it's clear they were elected to stop it.
We know they are liars (taqiyya) so we can’t believe the truth when they tell it?
Is it any more despicable or evil than the daily murders in Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, St. Louis, etc?
They fear that the bomb factories in mosque basements will start having "accidental" explosions, by the dozens, and that Muslim males will start being found dead everywhere.
This is a big sticking point. Note the previous post that referred to her as Filipino. That was what was said earlier today, but somehow changed to Indonesian. Big difference. So which is it? Another early post said her ID was found in the room, but now she’s out of the country. Do we even know if she’s a GF, wife, ex-wife or whatever, because she seems to be married to someone else. Finding out who she really is and where she is seems to be pretty important here.
