That's a decent theory based upon what's currently known to the public.

Regardless of how many theories are out there, and the fact that the guy is a whack job, THERE IS AN AGENDA with this shooting. We just don't know for a fact what it is yet. But a person, sane or insane, doesn't amass an arsenal that big and premeditate every detail of the act, and go through the extensive effort he did, weeks or months in advance, without a mission. My guess it's one of 3 possibilities:

1. He's an anti Trump guy who wanted to kill a bunch of redneck country fans
2. He's actually an anti gun guy who wanted to light a massive fire under the whole gun control issue
3. He just wanted to go out in a blaze of glory and had some twisted need for infamy

I think if he was an anti-gun guy he'd had a bunch of department store or cheap-assed ARs.. IMO he was definitely a gun guy.

Yep. My nephew works in Las Vegas as a dealer at one of the most high end casino/hotels there. Been there many years. I asked him once if he gambled? he said "Hell no. Vegas is there for one reason: to take your money."

Makes one wonder why people think they can beat Vegas.

Casino comps give ya back 3-4 hundred a day, at the inflated prices they charge.

Losin $300/hr x 14 hours = $4,200 day.

Dependin on how many millions and the return thereon, he's eatin inta principal, but don't care.

Money launderin theory is bullshit, small crook needs to, not the legit millionaire, if he was.

And, if he *was* gun runnin', he'd damn sure not hafta rely on a chump-fire stock to shoot fast.




I'd say they more than made up the comps on the last meal; $26.00 cheeseburger and $10 pepsi that he shared with the hooker.

Just shooting at the tanks makes it seem like a novice deal. But maybe that was part of the deception!

Best theories I have seen so far. I'm leaning towards a combination of all three that you listed above. And I've said all a long since day one that this nut job was probably a Anti Trump fanatic. And Ann Coulter is just blowing hot air as usual.

Talk about collateral damage.


Bat chit crazy is pretty mild compared to some of the "theories" that've been posted lately.

I used to find it amusing. Now, I'm actually a bit worried.

You have reason to be worried.

I don't see it ending any time soon either. If anything it's getting worse.

A few were expected but there's been some surprises!

I haven't read Coulter's article, but some of the bread crumbs sprinkled about could lead one to assume that was Paddock's role in this scenario, or how it was intended to be portrayed...the problem is that she doesn't have any inside details.

The big problem with all these theories is that they buy into the official story that Paddock is the "Vegas Shooter" in all his full regalia.... From the evidence I see so far, the only proven fact is that his body was found in a hotel room staged with a pile of guns and such.

Considering the lag time between the incident and the first official press conference several hours later was spent by the various agencies gathered in a room being told the "approved story as fit for public consumption and how they are going to spin it"

But aside from the media distortions, and all the evidence the agencies are holding back and lying about, I think one of the reasons this scenario doesn't make sense on the face is that whatever it was, it was a blown op that went down before everything could unfold as originally planned.

That's also why the casualty count is lower than one would expect.

At this point it's all just "Theatre of the Absurd".

They all assembled in a designated room and got their directive from a mystery voice emitting from a speaker phone... grin

they must allow a call on ext.3 to ring six times before answering it...in the old days they would just provide a tape to Jim,

on the spot...

I trust what the media tells us as far as I can throw Texas...

We are being told what whoever is in charge want us to think happen..

and it definitely fits an agenda...usually a democRAT one..




The whole thing reads like the plot from Enemies Foreign and Domestic by Matthew Bracken.

No one goes through the effort of planning target selection and logistics for months to pull something off like this without outside assistance and a plan to use it as a pretext for something else. Why were Boston and Chitcago considered for massacres and dropped in favor of LV?

Democraps are the only lifeforms that can benefit from incidents like this.

I know one of the owners of one of the Vegas firearms dealers where he bought several guns. Guns were purchased via normal 4473 process. Black market dealers do not go to local stores and buy retail.

He was lying throughout the conference, and so was the local FBI agent. They have their marching orders from the hotel/casino powers, and that's why all the double-talk and backtracking now. I interviewed enough people in my lifetime and employment to spot deception, and they both were nervous and deceptive.

Why don't we try" Who" was telling the agencies. The subject vs the object.
