Speculation is now “bombshell”? The “truth” will probably never be known now. “I can’t see him not having help.” BOOM he had an accomplice. No more press conferences. When you have the “facts” just publish them.

ANTIFA or ISIS inspired or a Soros paid operative for decades sounds more like it to me.

I have yet to hear how this ridiculous investigation is following the money.

I notice the sheriff has been silent.....or silenced....for a couple of days. The deep state will issue future announcements.

but they won’t say what species of radicalism the shooter may have embraced...

Obviously recruited and trained by Mennonites, Amish or Quakers.

One thing is for certain, Paddock could not simultaneously be “radicalized” and his actions “not terrorism” unless he wasn’t the shooter. Otherwise his actions were by definition terrorism.

This can not be . . . the F.B.I. (The Fraudulent Board of Idiots) has already determined that he was not radicalized - and it only took them 6 hours to do it.

I think we need a real dense timeline from June of 2016 to the date of the rampage.

ISIS called for a lone wolf attack on the Las Vegas Strip in a chilling ‘call to arms’ video released in May, 2017

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4940156/ISIS-video-called-lone-wolf-attack-Las-Vegas.html

A propaganda video by ISIS that emerged in May called for a lone wolf attack on the Vegas Strip.

The video the terrorist group that showed footage of Caesar’s Palace, the Bellagio Hotel and other icons from the casino row on South Las Vegas Boulevard.

Though the footage has been determined to be from 2015, authorities deemed the threat credible - particularly in the wake of the Manchester Arena massacre, and as the then coming Memorial Day holiday weekend which was expected to bring big crowds to The Strip.

‘I think anytime somebody goes on the internet and makes a threat that they’re going to conduct a lone-wolf or any type of attack, it’s our responsibility to view it as a credible threat,’ Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Capt. Christopher Darcy, who heads the Southern Nevada Counter-Terrorism Center, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

How do they know he targeted those fuel tanks? He may have simply overshot the crowd.

I’m leaning away from ISIS for now, the picture they published on their website was NOT him, but another Stephen Paddock who lives in Canada.

Exactly... There is *still* nothing new in this case, yet day after day we're seeing "bombshells" and "Breaking News Alerts" all over the internet, and on Fox News (I didn't bother to check CNN and MSNBC).

I sure hope there WILL BE something new in this case soon, and that we will finally learn the monster's motive. One question: Is there going to be an autopsy on Paddock? Can a doc do any kind of analysis on what's left of his brain?

If anything can be said of the brother’s statements it’s clear that he is emotionally immature => the hallmark of a leftist.

When drawing a comparison for his brother’s state of mind what did he first grasp? What was top of mind? Well if he’s crazy everyone on TV news is crazy. => his brother was highly political.

Who’s ranting these days => leftists.

This guy is either ISIS or ISIS inspired. He didn’t just snap and he followed the Jihadi playbook to T. Multiple dry runs including Lollapalloza and another festival at the same Vegas location in September. Sends the girlfriend away before the attacks. Targets a Conservative leaning crowd. ISIS has tripled down on this guy, the Feds just refuse to admit it.

Hypothesis:

Given there is a distinct lack of publication of any media/content the perpetrator wrote or possessed, vague references to him leading a secret life, this singular tantalizing comment from the sheriff, and Trump’s obtuse & cryptic “calm before the storm” comment in conjunction with military leaders, plus ISIS “tripling down” on claiming they’d radicalized him ...
... I’m wondering if there _is_ a Jihadist connection & motive here, and it’s being kept under extremely tight wraps pending a massive military retaliation intended to destroy ISIS completely.

I’d wager the Sheriff believes the Feds are trying to stonewall and hide salient facts and feels the need to defend himself from their errors/lapses/turning a blind eye.....

The other day I pointed out that it seemed unusual for the Deep State, that the FBI was allowing the local sheriff to speak.

Apparently, that's over now.
