he Las Vegas Mass Murderer's Motive: A Psychoanalyst Explains
American Thinker.com ^ | August 4, 2019 | he Las Vegas Mass Murderer's Motive: A Psychoanalyst Explains

Posted on 08/04/2019 6:43:41 AM PDT by Kaslin

On October 1, 2017, America was stunned by the horrible mass murder in Las Vegas. The lengthy search for the murder's motive most likely ends in the bitter unconscious severe neurotic conflicts of Stephen Paddock's troubled mind. His obsessive-compulsively planned mass murder seemed intended to make his father's life of petty crime look like peanuts in comparison. Psychodynamically, Paddock’s horrendous act was an ultimate fantasied oedipal victory. As noted by Dave Phillips and Mathew Haag’s perceptive New York Times article of October 2, 2017, Benjamin Hoskins Paddock, Stephen Paddock’s father, was a grifter, con artist, bank robber and jail-breaker who spent years on the FBI’s most wanted list.


Stephen Paddock's 2010 passport

On the surface, Stephen Paddock’s record had not a hint of criminality until his ghastly mass murder. As many narcissistic criminals do, however, Stephen Paddock thought he would get away with his record-breaking lone career -- crime. Stephen likely fantasied that his ultimate powerful crime would dwarf his father’s failed life of small-fry crimes. In his unconsciously motivated final neurotic act, Stephen would try to resolve the inner smoldering life-long shame and humility caused by his father’s more than embarrassing arrest

Stephen Paddock’s severe neurosis and neurotic character disorder was behind his horrible mass murder. Not a brain tumor, not substance abuse, not genetics, but rather, psychodynamics of a neurosis. Neurosis is not always merely mild anxiety that responds to supportive psychotherapy and tranquilizers. Neurosis can occur in CEOs of major businesses, world leaders with control of nuclear bombs, and mass murderers.

We live under the rule of a throughly dishonest government. Even an apparently opposing President has barely been able to make a dent.

Shot in the leg, yet drives over 700 miles the NEXT DAY to visit his Mexican hometown.

And returned immediately to appear on the Ellen Degeneris show, what?

And the funny thing is they called up the clinic that MexySecurityGuard SAID he'd been treated at and they had NO IDEA what they guy'd been talking about.

They admonished that they'd never medically treated the guy in any way.

I definitely thinks so too. There are plenty of leads and footprints they refused to go into. Now the FBI will incestigate you for looking at a valid lead like Pizzagate under suspicion of being a conspiracy theory mongering domesric threat! How is that for gaming up the definition of covering up a crime as a rotten cop acting as a look out for pedophiles and drug dealers on the polygraph!

It is no wonder people denouncing the democrats to the FBI get whacked. Because the FBI has inside it a machinery to protect its perceptions of what a crime is. Once you become in language a look out for pedophiles and mass murdering leftists, you also protect them by whacking people who could compromise that cover. Maybe you do it indirectly by engaging dark forces against good forces, maybe directly as an agent like at the Garland terror attack in Texas.

My hunch is a McVeigh type terorist act with Phillipino Al Qaeda as sponsors. Except , like with McVeigh, no one wants to blame the islamists.

At the time the Philippines was being helped by the US to suppress the ISIS gangs taking over that whole city in the Philippines.

I think the guy was an agent who got burned by baddies.

He was not an 'agent'. He was an 'asset'.
