Las Vegas Shooting: Pulling America to an Israeli Security State – The Timeline Doesn’t Lie

by Scott Creighton

“Explosives scanners and X-ray machines — standard equipment at airport terminals — will continue to be scarce in hotels because of the enormous premium that customers place on their privacy. The hospitality industry hasn’t gotten its act together in terms of antiterrorism. It’s not going to be pushed, it has to be pulled.” Jim Stover, a senior vice president of the real estate and hospitality practice at the Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., an insurance brokerage

It has become painfully obvious that there was more than one shooter during the mass casualty event that took place in Las Vegas at the Highway 91 Harvest country music festival this past Sunday night. Videos have emerged where you can clearly hear more than one type of weapon being fired simultaneously. The cabbie video which I covered yesterday makes it very clear that not only were there more than one rifle being fired at the same time but also that there was more than one sniper position being used.

A reader left us a link to a video in which a witness says one of the shooters “was definitely on the ground” as the interviewer quickly ignores her and moves on to ask her boyfriend a completely unrelated question.

Many reports put gunfire coming out of Luxor hotel as well as the Mandalay Bay hotel. And there were even police reports of shots being fired on at ground level. A new body-cam video features police officers hiding behind a wall saying “they are shooting right at us“. Clearly the officers knew there was more than one shooter and whoever released that video seems to want us to know it as well.

If you look at the official timeline of the events that occurred this past Sunday night, a rather interesting picture starts to develop. When you couple that with the new effort to “pull” the hospitality industry into the highly profitable surveillance state industry, you are left with a rather macabre suspicion you can’t help but worry about.

The shooting itself started near the end of the last performance of the 3-day country music festival at about 10:08pm Sunday night and now the official word is, it lasted for 9 minutes.

It took them over 90 minutes to breach the door to hotel room 32135 and find Stephen Paddock dead “by his own hand”

Here are some highlights from that official timeline:

Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said later that officers coordinated with security guards at the hotel to gather intelligence…

• 10:08 p.m. Pacific time: Police dispatcher receives the first reports of shots fired at the Route 91 Harvest Festival. Country singer Jason Aldean is performing for 22,000 people, across the Las Vegas Strip from Mandalay Bay.
• 10:12 p.m. There is initial confusion about whether the shots are coming from Mandalay Bay, the Luxor or even from within the fairgrounds. Despite the uncertainty, officers focus on Mandalay Bay and immediately move in that direction under withering gunfire.
• 10:19 p.m. Another group of four officers approaches the Mandalay Bay. “We’re going to make entry through the south wing, to make contact with the suspect, see if we can’t get up to him,” one officer says. An officer already in position says a group is on that floor.
• 10:24 p.m. Up on the 32nd floor, police and security officers are closing in on room 135. An officer calls for a SWAT team after the gunman shot through his door and wounded a hotel security guard who accompanied the officers.
• 10:32 p.m. Police say multiple reports from the tower at McCarran International Airport about people walking across the runways. And first responders increasingly turn their attention to caring for the wounded.
• 11:19 p.m. The airport warns of possible flight delays as police investigate the shooting. Nearly two dozen flights were diverted to other airports overnight.
• 11:58 p.m. Police report the suspect is down. Paddock shot himself to death, police said later.

One thing you have to remember is that IF there were multiple shooters from DIFFERENT locations opening fire for those 9 minutes… they would HAVE to get those weapons INTO THAT ROOM. They would HAVE to. Ballistics doesn’t lie and if you don’t own the coroner’s office, you have to make sure all those weapons are in that room before the breach the door.

And what happened? A couple cops and some Mandalay Bay security guards went up there to that room LONG before the C4 took the door off it’s hinges.

Now, let’s take this into consideration: the New York Times is now calling for forcing U.S. hotels and other resort type places to adopt Israeli or African-nation security systems including explosive sniffers and x-ray machines in each and every hotel in the country.

That’s trillions of dollars by itself and if they start “pulling” hotels to outsource security services to companies like Wackenhut or G4S then we are talking tons of cash.

Hotels in the United States and Europe have been “much slower on the uptake” regarding the chances of violence, compared to the Middle East and Africa, where he does most of his business, he said.

Then there is the matter of guests preferring to be left alone.

Explosives scanners and X-ray machines — standard equipment at airport terminals — will continue to be scarce in hotels because of the enormous premium that customers place on their privacy, said Jim Stover, a senior vice president of the real estate and hospitality practice at the Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., an insurance brokerage.

“The hospitality industry hasn’t gotten its act together in terms of antiterrorism,” he said. “It’s not going to be pushed, it has to be pulled.”

In countries where hotels have been targeted by attackers — Egypt, Indonesia, Israel and more — security tactics are much more intense and often invasive. New York Times

This is NOT a situation where someone is just taking advantage of the situation. They have now claimed to have found high explosives in the room with Paddock and all those guns so whoever did this knew damn well they wanted those sniffer machines included in the new legislation they are going to push for.

The FBI now has their hands on Paddock’s girlfriend, Marilou. You can expect her to be silent for a little while and then come out and make some kind of statement that “wraps it all up in a neat little bow for them” just like Oswald’s wife did after spending a month with those guys way back when. That’s what the FBI does. That’s what they are good at. Just ask that friend of the Boston bombing patsies. He didn’t go along with the plan, so they had to tie up that loose end, didn’t they.

It is painfully obvious what happened here.

Think about it… how could someone get into that hotel with all those weapons. Have them all over his room that was cleaned daily by housekeeping? Who controls the security cameras? Who could shut down access to those floors during the nearly two hours this event took place? And who went up to his room after the shooting stopped to drop off some rifles from the other locations?

The same people who now look to profit from the VAST SUMS OF MONEY and growth opportunity the New York Times was writing about the other day.

Yep. I wonder where Chertoff was on Sunday.
