Reviving this thread as we don't really know anything, but Patrick Howley, former reporter for Breitbart, Washington Free Beacon and The Daily Caller and assistant editor for The American Spectator dropped a few bombs on Twitter about this yesterday. Not sure of his credibility, but he has broken legitimate stories such as KKK/blackface Virginia Governor Northam and other stories. So take this for what it's worth, but I seem to remember discussion of involvement of the Saudi Royal Family that just all talk of it disappeared.

On Twitter yesterday he revealed the following: If you have an account, go read his tweets as I can't link them all. I wish he would write a full article on it:

So the Boating Accident Support Group on Facebook which I earlier posted about has a large number of quite funny memes. Occasionally they get serious, but most are light hearted and of course poke fun at the “feds”.

There was on that spoke about the Las Vegas shooting. They said that the brother spoke out on the news saying his brother couldn’t have done it and then he was arrested for child porn charges.

So I looked it up and yes he was arrested on child porn charges which were later dropped.

My friends have often said that you get charged with child porn if you end up getting the wrong people unhappy.

Apparently in this case.

I have attached two memes from the Facebook group.

Apparently ex convict friend knew he was planning something, and pleaded with him not to hurt innocent people.

I don't know if I buy that explanation. However, I will say that of all the "mass shootings", that is the one that doesn't fit any of the unfortunately standard stuff. Something jacked up happened there, something far beyond one disgruntled or whacked-out guy violently taking his fear or anger out on a group of people in a "gun-free zone". I am still of the opinion that it was a sale of firearms that went bad. The so-called shooter was going to sell a bunch of his rather nice rifles to get a stake up to get into another game, as he was a professional high-stakes gambler who won some/lost some. The deal went sour in some fashion, the potentional buyer(s) snuffed the dude, and the concert crowd was fired upon to create confusion and as a cover-up. Just my opinion, can't prove a thing, but of all the mass shootings, this is the only one that really bothers me beyond the obvious.

The senseless unsupported narrative in the media with zero motive has long been a sad joke.

Was this a terrorist act? Yes.

Was the motive gun control? Well the scenario is almost identical to the fictional Enemies Foreign and Domestic, which was a false flag attack to create gun control.

Would organizations like the CIA or other intelligence agencies use terrorist attacks against innocent civilians? YES. They've done it before and have never been held accountable:



The BBC documentary discusses "Strategy of Tension" and "Parallel Structures". Those are 2 key concepts. A parallel structure operated in Italy where some Italian Prime Ministers were unaware of Operation Gladio. These parallel structures operated in many other European countries. While Gladio was shut down in some places, it continues in others(i.e. Turkey)... funded by the CIA.

FBI’s Las Vegas Shooter Report Raises Serious Unanswered Questions. What NFA Weapons?
What’s not explained is a curious claim made on page 3 of the “Paddock” report dated 10/02/2017:

“On or around October 1, 2017, in Las Vegas, Nevada, Stephen Paddock, DOB 4/9/1953, illegally possessed prohibited firearms [emphasis added] in violation of 26 U.S.C. Section 5841. Paddock utilized prohibited firearms in the mass shooting incident that took place on Las Vegas Boulevard (the Strip) in which 50 people were killed and over 500 people were injured.”

26 U.S.C. Section 5841 is the code section for the “central registry of all firearms in the United States which are not in the possession or under the control of the United States. This registry shall be known as the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record.
From this new information is entirely possible a "swift link" or similar were what was actually used in the shooting.

I wonder if it is part of the Twitter purge happening since it appears the Elon Musk deal to buy Twitter is apparently back on. But it seems mostly bots are being removed, so I'm guessing you are probably correct. Did not find anything on a Google search for the past 30 days about him.

So what are the odds that this guy moves to Maui and becomes police chief.

https://mauinow.com/2021/12/15/new-maui ... akes-helm/

I remember in the old days the police would go up and down every street with sirens and announcements that you need to evacuate or take shelter.

I know hindsight is 20/20.

https://www.civilbeat.org/2021/11/new-p ... s-to-maui/

More, wants to reduce police shootings in Maui, where no one but the police have guns. Took a $20,000 pay cut. Good to be police chief.

Snopes debunks that the fire was started by DEW to get local native Hawaiians who own most of the land in fire area to sell to rich people.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/maui- ... gy-weapon/

But isn't the cause of the fire unknown? How can you then say it wasn't something?

Las Vegas Metro is notorious for out of court settlements for police shootings in the past.
