5 days after Vegas slaughter, only ISIS offers a narrative
WND ^ | Leo Hohmann

Posted on 10/07/2017 2:52:44 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Dr. Mark Christian, a former Muslim imam and expert on Wahabbist and Salafist Islamic teachings, said he believes ISIS is milking the Las Vegas massacre for all it’s worth and will, in time, provide some type of evidence of its involvement, possibly a video.

“How would ISIS have known that U.S. investigators wouldn’t find a different motive that would debunk their claim?” said Christian, founder and director of the Global Faith Institute. *snip

Former secret service agent Dan Bongino said the case is unlike any other mass shooting he’s seen.

“This case is really an enigma,” he told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto. “It doesn’t seem to make any sense. In my experience, you usually have two types of suspects in these cases, those radicalized by an ideology or those with some type of psychological disorder, and with this one neither seems to make sense. There’s none of those pre-attack indicators. I don’t think the FBI or local police have that much information on this case, either, because they’re putting up billboards and asking for information. This is a very disturbing case.”

Another angle that makes no sense to Bongino is the Tannerite found in Paddock’s car.

Evil is not a sufficient motive?

“I think ISIS is working with ANTIFA.”

That wouldn’t surprise me in the least. Just like the Commies worked with the Black Panthers.

I thought this info is interesting given Paddock's gambling winnings. It will be interesting to find out how much of his gambling earnings are reported on 1099's.
How Much You Win Matters

Gamblers are lucky in that casino taxes are not progressive like income taxes are. That is, you will owe the same percentage to the IRS on a $100,000 jackpot as a $10,000 one. Yet, it’s important to know the thresholds that require reporting. Winnings in the following amounts must be reported:

  • $600 or more at a horse track (if that is 300 times your bet)
  • $1,200 or more at a slot machine or bingo game
  • $1,500 or more in keno winnings
  • $5,000 or more in poker tournament winnings

All of these require giving the payer your Social Security number, as well as filling out IRS Form W2-G to report the full amount won. In most cases, the casino will take 25 percent off your winnings for the IRS before even paying you.

Not all gambling winnings in the amounts above are subject to IRS Form W2-G. W2-Gs are not required for winnings from table games such as blackjack, craps, baccarat, and roulette, regardless of the amount. Note that this does not mean you are exempt from paying taxes or reporting the winnings. Any and all gambling winnings must be reported to the IRS. It only means that you do not have to fill out Form W2-G for these particular table-based games.

In Michael Flynn’s book “Field of Fight,” there are large commentaries on how the real driving force behind jihad is money. So, yes, this could be ISIS-related money laundering.

they’re just trying to appear more relevant than they actually are.

Good to hear they’re no longer that relevant. Maybe most of our troops can come home now.

Isis was there to buy CIA provided guns, they seized the moment and used THEIR OWN OTHER ROOMS as well as the 32nd floor to take advantage of a good mass murder

Too much mayhem to try to get the guns out, but ... the murder was always the plan in an ISIS op anyway, why not here and now ?

Pathological narcissistic. The way he treated his girlfriend and firing down like he was a god.

You forgot patsy .... the alleged photos of him dead on the floor show numerous inconsistencies to the narrative ... a gun laying across his leg, the shells in pristine condition inches from the pooling head shot blood .. etc.

IRS records show Paddock was a successful gambler

IRS records show what Paddock claimed. The likelihood was that he was a big loser. Casinos do not give royal treatment to punters who cost them money. In fact, a consistent winner will be banned from the casinos. Casinos are wonderful money laundries, though. Only some of what you win or lose is recorded such that you must claim it on your Tax return. What you claim is what you want to show. If he was merchandising guns to foreign or domestic consumers of large numbers of guns as his primary business he would have to show enough IRS certified income to explain his houses and cars and such, his life style.

No social media. No real notes or collection of data from the house. No internet usage other than making reservations for trips.

100-percent money launderer situation.

Has there been any mention of hotel security cameras (hacked) being turned off or blacked out to 32nd floor as shooting began??? I’ve not seen a mention of this taking place ...

So he’s probably a criminal and probably has criminal associates but that still doesn’t provide a motive for carrying out a homicidal rampage ending in his suicide. By all accounts, he had a lot to live for.

The MOST camera'd city/state on the planet .. Las Vegas.

A few confusing cel phone videos and just a couple of pertinent crime shots ?

I'm told there are camera's in the bathrooms, especially of comped customers.

That’s the conclusion that everybody is thinking but nobody wants to come to until ample evidence supports it IMO.

He became wealthy not only through real estate, which is difficult, but supposedly by professional gambling, which is nearly impossible.

Well, either that or as a corrupt bureaucRAT, or leftover bank loot from his daddy.

Less than 24 hours - and they doubled down as our “experts” said ,”No way, Jose” - leaving them experts with zero explanation after almost a week of plying their “expertise” and ignoring ISIS claims....
