The public is not being told the truth about what really went down in Las Vegas. As you will see below, the evidence is mounting that there were multiple shooters and that this was an operation that was planned well in advance. But according to the mainstream media, a 64-year-old retired accountant with a flabby physique that had no military training whatsoever and that wasn’t very experienced with guns was able to pull the whole thing off all by himself. We are being told that Paddock was a “lone wolf” that didn’t have any ties to terror groups, and since he is now dead nobody is ever going to be able to interrogate him. But the American people definitely deserve some answers about what took place, and that means that all of us should keep digging.
The following are 16 unanswered questions about the Las Vegas shooting that the mainstream media does not want to talk about…
#1 Photos of Stephen Paddock’s hotel room have been leaked, and one of those photos appears to show a suicide note. Why hasn’t the public been told what is in that note?
#2 Were there additional shooters? A taxi driver clearly captured video of an automatic weapon being fired out of a lower level window. A video from another angle and brief footage captured by Dan Bilzerian also seem to confirm that automatic gunfire was coming from a floor much lower than the 32nd floor room that Stephen Paddock was located on. And if you weren’t convinced by the first three videos, this fourth video should definitely do it.
#3 Why were law enforcement authorities discussing “another suspect on the fourth floor”, and why isn’t the mainstream media talking about this?
#4 As Jon Rappoport has pointed out, it would have been impossible for Stephen Paddock to kill and wound 573 people in less than five minutes of shooting with the kinds of weapons that he is alleged to have used. So why won’t law enforcement authorities acknowledge this fact?
#5 How in the world did Paddock get 42 guns and “several thousand rounds of ammo” into his hotel room without anyone noticing?
#6 How did someone with “no military background” and that wasn’t a “gun guy at all” operate such advanced weapons? Because what we are being told by the mainstream media just doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. I really like how Natural News made this point…
Far from what the firearms-illiterate media claims, these are not systems that any Joe off the street can just pick up and use to effortlessly mow down 500 people. Running these systems requires extensive training, experience and stamina. It is physically impossible for a guy like Stephen Paddock to operate such a system in the sustained, effective manner that we witnessed, especially when shooting from an elevated position which throws off all the ranging of the weapon system.
Far from being a Navy Seal, Stephen Paddock is a retired accountant senior citizen with a gambling problem and a flabby physique. The only way he could have carried out this shooting is if he were transformed into a human superweapon through a magic wand. I’m calling this “Mission IMPOSSIBLE” because of the physical impossibility of a retired, untrained senior citizen pulling this off.
#7 Why was one woman telling people in the crowd that they were all going to die 45 minutes before the attack?
#8 Why did it take law enforcement authorities 72 minutes to get into Stephen Paddock’s hotel room?
#9 Why did Paddock wire $100,000 to the Philippines last week?
#10 Why was Paddock’s girlfriend, Marilou Danley, in the Philippines when the attack took place? Did she know what was about to happen?
#11 Was Paddock on antidepressants like so many other mass killers in the past have been?
#12 Why was ISIS so eager to take responsibility for this attack, and why was the FBI so quick to dismiss that connection?
#13 Apparently Paddock had earned millions of dollars “through real estate deals”. If he was so wealthy, why would he all of a sudden snap like that?
#14 Why did he move so frequently? It is being reported that Paddock had 27 different residences during his adult life.
#15 Why were nearly all of the exits out of the concert venue completely blocked?…
In essence, the concert trapped the people, preventing them from escaping, and denying them the ability to seek cover. From there, sustained, full-auto gunfire is almost impossible to survive.
From Fox News, a caller named Russell Bleck, who survived the shooting, said live on air, “There were ten-foot walls blocking us in. We couldn’t escape. It was just a massacre. We had nowhere to go.”
#16 Why was a country music festival chosen as the target? Was the goal to kill as many Trump supporters and other conservatives as possible? And is there evidence that Stephen Paddock was connected to Antifa in any way?
At first I thought that this was a fairly straightforward story too, but the more I have dug into it the more complex things have become.
Personally, I have come to the conclusion that Stephen Paddock definitely did not act alone. That means that the others involved in the shooting are still out there, and they must be brought to justice. Let us never forget what these extremely wicked individuals did to innocent civilians such as 27-year-old Tina Frost…
A 27-year-old woman has lost her right eye after a bullet ripped through her face during the Las Vegas concert massacre.
Tina Frost remains in a coma in hospital after undergoing surgery to remove the bullet that became lodged in her eye when a gunman opened fire on the crowd of country music fans on Sunday night.
Frost, who is originally from Maryland but moved to California several years ago, is expected to remain in the coma for a week.
Whoever did this is going to pay greatly. Yes, I do believe that Stephen Paddock was involved. But he did not act alone, and the mainstream media is doing the public a great disservice by ignoring all of the evidence that this was not just a “lone wolf” operation.

Many Unanswered Questions About
Las Vegas Shooting

Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock starting shooting at exactly 10:08 p.m.
on Sunday night. A SWAT team entered his room at 11:21 p.m., reporting
that Paddock had taken his own life just moments before. That’s 73
minutes between the start of the shooting and the shooter’s demise.Chris Bethel, an Iraq War veteran, was in his room just two floors below when he heard the gunfire erupt and called the front desk, but no one answered. Said Bethel, “I could just hear the gun shots, continuously. Just full automatic. There [were] explosions going off. It was like a bomb just went off. And then there were more gun shots. Seconds are going by, minutes are going by, the rounds are continuously going [off]. Changing weapons, changing calibers, you can hear the difference in the gun shots.”
That he couldn’t reach anyone at the front desk frustrated Bethel: “I feel like I didn’t do enough. I feel like I couldn’t get a hold of somebody quick enough to let them know. And it felt like it took them too long to get over there, to take him out.”
Paddock fired on the concert attendees for between nine and 11 minutes, in about a dozen different bursts, according to witnesses. That meant that he stopped firing at about 10:28 p.m. At 10:37 p.m. local officers reported that they were moving up to the 32nd floor. At 10:55 p.m., one of the local officers said they were ready to enter the shooter’s suite of rooms, but he was told to wait for the SWAT team. Twenty-six minutes later, at 11:21 p.m., the SWAT team entered Paddock’s suite to find him dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Newsweek also asked why it took so long for officers to enter Paddock’s room, saying only, “It’s unclear why officers waited more than an hour to enter the gunman’s room…. It’s also unclear when Paddock stopped shooting.” An expert that Newsweek consulted didn’t have a good answer either: “I’m not sure why it took so long. Your first priority is stopping the shooting and getting to the suspect.”
Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said that when local officers arrived at Paddock’s room they “received gunfire and they backed off and SWAT responded.” Another source said it was possible that the officers didn’t feel capable of stopping the attack on their own because of Paddock’s high-powered automatic weapons.
That’s just one of many still-unanswered questions about the massacre.
At least one question has been answered: Paddock was alone. YouTube videos showing gunfire emanating from a room on the fourth floor of the hotel were labeled “false” by Snopes.
First, said Snopes, Assistant Sheriff Todd Fasulo said so: “I want to emphasize we believe Paddock is solely responsible for this heinous act. We are aware of the rumors outside of the media and also on social media that there was more than one assailant. We have no information or evidence to support that theory, or that rumor.” Second, none of the windows on the fourth floor of the hotel had been broken out. Third, the light flashing from the fourth floor had been seen flashing at least an hour before the shooting started. Snopes noted that one of the officers on the scene also saw the winking light and called it a strobe light. Finally, said Snopes, “it defies logic to believe they [law enforcement] would not have heard automatic gunfire coming from the fourth floor, when they clearly heard it coming from Paddock’s room [on the 32nd floor].”
Another question was raised by Sheriff Lombardo: “Did this person get radicalized unbeknownst to us? [If so] we want to identify that source.”
Why was Paddock essentially declared “clean” when law enforcement, in their initial investigation, found nothing in his background. Especially when it was later learned that Paddock worked for the federal government and would have created a large personnel file. He worked as a postman, an IRS agent, and then for government contractor Lockheed Martin. Why wasn’t that information instantly available? Isn’t the U.S. a “surveillance state” where the federal government is watching everyone, everywhere, all the time and keeping records?
And what about Paddock’s girlfriend, Marilou Danley? The police initially said she was not a “person of interest” but later changed and declared her a “person of interest.” Danley was taken into custody early Wednesday morning for “questioning” by federal officials.
Who warned concert-goers about the impending attack? An interview with a concert attendee, Brianna Hedricks, revealed that a woman “who pushed her way forward into the concert venue and into the first row and started messing with another lady, and told us we were all going to die tonight.” Security officials removed her from the premises, along with a man. Who was he? Where did she/they go afterwards?
Was Paddock on drugs? According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, he “was prescribed an anti-anxiety drug in June [diazepam] that can lead to aggressive behavior.” Diazepam is commonly known as Valium, which DrugAbuse.com warns can trigger “aggressive behavior” and “psychotic experiences.”
Radio host Alex Jones shed some light on this, writing that “virtually every major mass shooter was taking some form of … pharmaceutical drug at the time of their attack, including Columbine killer Eric Harris, ‘Batman’ shooter James Holmes, Charleston shooter Dylann Roof and Sandy Hook gunman Adam Lanza.”
Another question has come up. Paddock reportedly rented his room on Thursday, September 28, but a hotel employee named Antonio claims he served Paddock and a guest in the room the day before (September 27). Paddock and his guest ordered a burger, a bagel with cream cheese, potato soup, one bottle of water, and two Pepsis. Antonio posted a copy of the room service receipt on his Facebook page which clearly showed the number “2” next to the word “Guests” right up until the post was taken down.
Finally, there is one more remarkable coincidence. The day after the shooting, House Speaker Paul Ryan announced that he was backing out of voting for two bills that were on the House floor: A bill to lesson restrictions on gun suppressors and the national concealed-carry reciprocity bill. Both bills were expected to pass.
