What would you say if I told you that Stephen Paddock didn't kill 58 people?
You'd say I'm crazy, right?
Well, I'm going to say it anyway. Stephen Paddock didn't kill 58 people.
I'm a conspiracy theorist, so when it comes to tragic events like the Las Vegas shooting, I trust no one. The media has already proven to be wrong countless times in the past, so I decided to do a little (actually a LOT) digging on my own.
And what I found is very fishy.
First of all, how the hell does a retired 64-year-old gambling man muster up enough strength, strategy, and training to carry out the biggest mass shooting in U.S. history - by himself? And how does one man simultaneously injure over 500 people. Accuracy can't be the greatest from 32nd floor, am I right?
That alone gives me reason to believe that something is just not quite lining up with what we are being told.
What if Paddock didn't work alone? ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack, right? Well, let's just say ISIS was involved like they claim to be. They plan to carry out a mass attack. They obtain weapons via Paddock, a local gambler who was short on cash and had no criminal record, thus producing easy access to guns.
Paddock is paid a ridiculous amount of money to bring weapons to the hotel and ISIS carries out their plan, killing 58 and injuring hundreds more. Paddock commits suicide when he realizes what has happened and what is to come.
Or does he? A picture was leaked on Twitter last week of Paddock's dead body on the hotel floor (it has since been removed by Twitter moderators).
Whether or not this picture is actually real may never be determined, but the carpet in the photo matches that of the hotel, so let's just say it is. The picture shows a bullet wound to Paddock's chest and the back of his head. When have we ever heard of someone shooting themselves in the back of the head AND the chest? From what I know, most suicides are to the front of the head; one shot, dead.
But what if Paddock wasn't just a random dude looking for quick cash to support his love for poker and strippers? What if he was an undercover FBI agent.
Do your research.
The man lived an all too quiet and secret life. He had a plane. He had no job other than gambling. He traveled. He randomly wired $100,000 to the Philippines just before the shooting. He wasn't heavily involved in anything controversial. He kept quiet - too quiet.
Now here's the kicker: what if the FBI is linked to ISIS? I know, the theory is absolutely crazy, but it's the only thing that makes the most sense to me right now. It's the reason why Youtube is altering search results, Twitter is taking down leaked photos, and the media is being awfully contrary to public witnesses. If it's revealed that Paddock was an agent supplying ISIS with weapons, it makes the FBI a criminal, destroying any sense of security this nation currently holds.
It also indicates that the REAL shooters are still on the loose, which would promptly put our nation into a massive state of panic and fear.
I hate to blame the FBI, but like I said, I trust no one.
So here's what I think actually happened: Paddock works for the FBI, books Vista Suite Room 135 (1,700 square feet according to the hotel website) in the Mandalay Bay Hotel. Over the course of a few days, he accumulates a mass amount of arms in the room. The real shooters carry out their plan of attack from the Mandalay AND other hotels across the Vegas strip. Paddock is shot dead because, well, a living Paddock is too much evidence.
The police take far too long to arrive, which gives the real shooters, who are members of ISIS, time to escape from the hotel and the other areas across the strip. The police arrive, Paddock is alone and dead, and they realize what a huge mistake has been made. The media announces a "lone wolf shooter," because the FBI can't be found guilty, even though they most certainly are. As a result, 58 innocent humans die and hundreds more are injured.
Call me crazy, but prove me wrong.
Maybe Paddock was a lone wolf. Maybe he worked with others. Or maybe, just maybe, he didn't kill a single person.
