The Jesuits

Mystical spiritual practices have interested me for over 10 years.  The Jesuits have been my subject for a few months.  Here are some of my notes below.

Who would like this post?  

• Those looking for a purely Christian based meditation techniques completely void of Eastern religious traditions.
• If you are an Intuitive type and know things for sure, but often cannot explain how you are absolutely certain about some things.  
• Devout Catholics with an intellectual interest.  The Jesuits are the Catholic intellectuals.
• If you are into any sort of Meditation practice, and you are exploring some of the more proven Christian meditative traditions that have stood the test of time.

Founding Fathers of the Jesuits

Ignatius of Loyola

He was a Basque from the Northern parts of Spain, in the Pyrenees mountains on the border of France.  He was a soldier before becoming a priest.  Many of his Spiritual Exercises were adaptations of Garcia de Cisneros spiritual exercises, which, in turn were based upon "Brothers of the Common Life," apparently a work of devotion of the time emphasizing simplicity.

Greatest contribution to civilization and the church is the Spiritual Exercises.

Francis Xavier

He was a Basque, like Ignatius was.  He was an Evangelist throughout Asia, and especially in India.  He is considered one of the greatest missionaries.  He met Ignatius and Peter Faber during his studies at the University of Paris.

Peter Faber

He was a Frenchman, formally, Pierre LeFevre.  Perhaps his major contribution was his approach to people.  He did not engage in disputes or arguments, but was was looking for a conversion from the heart in dealing with people.

General Notes on the Order

• The order was founded on September 27, 1540
• The main focuses of the Order:
• Education
• Intellectual Research
• Cultural Pursuits
• The Order's Motto
• Shortened: Ad maiorem Dei gloriam
• Full Form:  Ad maiorem Dei gloriam inque hominum salutem
• For the greater glory of God, and for the salvation of humanity
• Symbol contains IHS, apparently a transliteration of the Greek form of the first three letters of the word Jesus.  Strange thing, since I think the Greek transliteration is "Iesous."  Perhaps there is some historical explanation on transliterations.
• The most famous modern philosopher who was a Jesuit was Pierre Teihard de Chardin.    
• Strange naming of the order
• They call themselves the "Society of Jesus," and all written names of Jesuits I have noticed have the title "SJ" appended to the end of their names.
• This strikes me personally as strange.  At the origins of the Order, there was some debate as to the presumptuousness of this name for an order.  It is like, you never name your child "Jesus."  Or like the names of some of the American style churches like "Christian Church," or "The Church," the presumptuousness is just a bit odd, and you wonder what type of person could possibly make such as suggestion or proposal.  

Spiritual Exercises

This is the meat of the Jesuit approach to life.  The exercises are also encouraged for lay persons, and not just for priests.  So, anyone can do them.  Many organizations have used these techniques outside of the Jesuits and outside of the Catholic Church, apparently.

The ideal program is a 28-30 day retreat in a quiet peaceful environment.  However, there are variation on the theme for lay persons with busy schedules, and can be done over a period of a few months or two years.

Some major themes of the retreat:

• Usually done under the guidance of a Spiritual Director
• Discern the will of God in one's life
• Personal commitment to follow Jesus, no matter what the cost
• Major Aims: 
• Development of Discernment
• Development of making choices and decisions separate from inordinate attachment
• Discernment is a mystical path and moves toward mystical union with God.
• A repeated theme: Finding God in All things
• Doing the Examen:
• 10-15 minutes
• Asking for help from God
• Gratitude reflection
• Pray with 1-2 strong interior movements (emotions, intuitions, feelings) focus
• Rejoice and ask forgiveness

Resources

These are the ones I have personally found.  They are listed in order of priority for the reader of general interest.

The Ignatian Adventure, by Kevin O'Brien

A good resource if you intend on doing some or all of the exercises.  I downloaded a copy to Kindle and I am reading it to supplement my current stack of books on meditative techniques.

Reimagining the Ignatian Examen: Fresh Ways to Pray from Your Day, by Mark Thibodeaux

I browsed quickly through this book and it appears to be a straight-forward practical application focusing on the Examen part of the Spiritual Exercises.

Ignatian Spirituality, by Loyola Press

This website has tons of resources, articles, links, and documents related to the Spiritual Exercises.

Sermon on Advent 2017

Advent officially begins two Sundays after Thanksgiving.  However, in the United States, it begins customarily after Thanksgiving.  

What is this great season?  It is the Ascendant of the Mother Archetype Spirit that fills this season.  Feminine Maternal feelings toward our origins permeate the Spirit of the Season.  We remember our families, our old friends, our home towns, our parents, siblings, perhaps our High School, or College Alma Mater, and all things a loving mother would hold dear.  For, this, my friends, is the Season where the Blessed Virgin prepares for the Birth of the Son of God.  She and her powerful maternal feelings are Ascendant during this season.  We feel this everywhere.  We feel home and hearth.  Our hearts turn home.  

A Canadian colleague of mine and I were talking and I mentioned that most countries have some sort of beginning for the Advent Season, since I was telling my Mexican colleague that Mexico probably has some kickoff to Advent like we have Thanksgiving in the United States.  The colleague from Toronto was of Indian origin and I explained that it was a season of expectation since we Christians are celebrating when the Blessed Mother was preparing for the birth of Jesus.

So, as we return to the home, whether in our hearts or on the land, we remember the Mother Spirit, and feel her feminine maternal passions for a season.  We expect a birth.  A Child will come we have expected.  Children bring us hope because they are the future.  Something grows within us.  We must cultivate it until harvest season when we partake of the fruits of our Great Work!

Vegas Shooting Body Language Analysis - Press Conference 10/013/17 (FBI Agent Only)

/// Disclaimer.  I am very skilled a Body Language Analysis.  However, I am just watching YouTube videos, and not on site.  Thus, I could possibly not have all information available to give a complete picture of the situation.  This is all my personal opinion, as the subject of Body Language has fascinated me for several years.  This even provides me with the opportunity to state predictions, and subsequently to track my accuracy.

We will review the Body Language Special Agent in Charge (SAC) Aaron Rouse of Las Vegas FBI.

Procedure

• Go through the footage once, with focus on one particular person and take notes
• Review the notes, and note all patterns from the analysis
• Form conclusions based on patterns within the analysis

Conclusions

• He does not identify with the community of Las Vegas
• He does not want to be assigned to Las Vegas
• He agrees with the Sheriff that the police were a target of the terrorist attack
• suggests organizational ideology and support.
• can be domestic terrorists
• Sheriff and SAC had a major disagreement in a meeting
• one dispute was how to handle the press
• possible dispute on what stories for the human narrative
• Probably the 8:00 meeting mentioned is where there was a major disagreement
• Question and answer session previously seriously disturbed both of them
• SAC has a problem with the FBI, but body language does not reveal the exact nature of the problem, but there are some indicators:
• possible problem with victims assistance units
• Possibly does not have enough people to cover all facets of the investigation
• probably why he asks for patience
• He is very positive on the mention of "significant progress"
• This means he has identified suspects
• It also means he knows the motive of the suspects
• It also means he probably knows how many suspects
• He is not happy about his name for some strange reason
• He is overwhelmed in this position at the FBI
• Both the Sheriff and the SAC think the request for public information is bullshit, i.e., "If you know something, say something."  
• Sheriff has significant contempt for the SAC as a man.
• Sheriff sees SAC as an imposer on his community
• SAC knows there are other "bad actors" out there, but cannot reveal this to the public.
• SAC has a problem with Campos timeline, as does the Sheriff.
• Something happened with Campos at the door adjacent to the suspect.
• SAC disagrees with MGM statement
• FBI interrogated Campos and many things are disturbing from this
• SAC knows there was another venue targeted for attack
• Suspects expected to ignite the fuel tanks with gun fire
• This disturbs both the Sheriff and SAC
• Paddock girlfriend is of no significance to the investigation
• They both think more people will die from their wounds
• SAC has more information than the Sheriff on the dates of entry for Paddock's hotel dates.
• Investigation is nation wide, and possibly world wide
• probably a man hunt
• Possibility that the SAC is feeling threatened with this job.
• covering of genitals is not what the "man in charge" does.  Like, never.
• So, he is in some sort of inferior position relative to someone watching him, but not sure who this is.  Perhaps a superior back in Washington.

SAC Aaron Rouse: Raw Analysis Notes

Notes

Las Vegas Analysis SAC 101317

He has his hands crossed directly in front of his genitals and he’s holding what appears to be a Notes on that sheet of paper. Hands crossed in front of genitals always indicates an inferior feeling in positioning with the expectation of a larger alpha male or similar influence threatening him. This suggest that his position as special agent in charge in Las Vegas will not last very long as a result of this.I do not think he feels threatened by the Alpha males on this stage in particular.

He also comes across as a homosexual but I am not sure what the implications of this indicator means.

Drops his head at the saying of Joe Lombardo Sheriff of Clark county. Strange gesture from an FBI agent. It seems he is giving deference to the sheriff as the superior male in the room which is a very strange indicator. This gesture is typically a bow in deference to a superior power or person. Which is why I mention that this particular agent probably feels threatened in his position.

Slight jump at the mention of press conference being different than usual.

More informational than Q&A he curls his eyebrows down at this point suggesting anger or puzzlement.

Eye block on outstanding issues out there in the public forum.

Continue release of vapors. There is confusion cluster of body language indicators here.

Public information office out of Mccarran airport. A cluster of jesters after mention of this.

Had jerk up on mention of the dates of the 25th versus 28th. Suggests a superior position. Perhaps he has more information then the sheriff those on this point.

Head cock and I blink on another mention of the dates of the 25th versus the 28th. Another indicator that he has a superior position on this point where he has more information than the Sheriff does.

No reaction to the mention of the girlfriends name. A slight reaction to the word confusion after that point. This suggests the girlfriend is of no consequence to the investigation.

Cluster of body language on mention of objection to being subversive or withholding of information.
Head down on mention of Sheriff acting on information at the time it was provided.

Not much of a response on mention of paddocks autopsy except for potential abnormalities to be presented at a later date but even this responses very weak except for little purse after a very long pause. He didn’t like the initial report is suggested after a second review of this piece.

Strong response to the word timeline. Rapid I clenches perhaps three. Very disturbed by the timeline. Severe I blocking.

Head tilt up on mention of a lot of his guys time has been spent on the timeline. This suggests Sapir your position perhaps means his guys might’ve spent even more time on unbeknownst to the sheriff.
Very dynamic event head tilt down right slight lip person.

Head bobbling and eye-movement suggest recollection of video footage when Sheriff mentions tons of documentation.

Lip purse on the word venue. Again on the word information and investigation another lip purse.
Slight I clench after mention of officer Campos himself.

Forward body movement on the word interrogation.

Mention of Las Vegas dispatch slight caulking of the head upward suggest a Sapir your position.
Body rocking on mention of hall and private cameras. And very slight snap on the word interviews.
Slight body rocking response to the association circumstances were in accurate.

Body rocking on mention of here’s what I will tell you.

Cluster of moments mention of campus arrival at the adjacent door. Slight lip curl towards the left.
Eventually make access to the 32nd floor he golfs here obviously above baseline behavior. This is an important point.

Also dispatch to originally there is a stack of indicators on this point.

Mitigated that situation holds a cluster of indicator suggesting there’s a problem with this part of the story. All these jesters away above baseline behavior. Another go up and head cock up at mention of the suspect.

Body rocking at Mr. Campos received his wounds.

Visual recall election mention of the timeline with regard to camp poses radio call versus phone call. Suggestion is that agent has a problem with the timeline.

Majority of fire upon our community he appears to be recalling some video images by the movement of his eyes.

Combination of different sources he mentioned earlier. FBI guy is using body rocking in strange downward glances.

Eye blinking on mention of rooms adjacent to the suspects room. This may or may not mean anything.

There is no conspiracy has eye blocking movement on the word conspiracy in beginnings of body rocking.

To eye blocks on mention of nobody is trying to hide anything.

Lip purse on size of investigation followed by head tilt down word. Head bobble on mention of voluminous volume of information. Not downright one mention of to come the public.
eye blink on the word future investigation. Another eye Blink on the word investigation.

Head bobble appointments and of standing hand-in-hand with the FBI and the investigation. Also somebody rocking. A brief lip purse.

Rapid eye movement appointments and of the beginning throes of the investigation. This again suggest recollection of video footage as per previous analysis here.

I blocking behavior upon mention of contraction of scope for the Las Vegas police.

Head bobbling upon mention of local police concerned about the initial safety of the community.
One mention of possible other bad actors out there there is extremely important body language here. Make a big note here because this is way off baseline for this FBI agent.Agent looks up and left which suggests visual recollection. He also opens his mouth here which is way outside of baseline behavior. An open mouth always means shock as in oh shit. This is followed by a gulp. And a hint of lip pursing. And he is looking down and left and down in right which suggests kinesthetic recollection and imagination. Also by blocking towards the end of the statement.

Mention of investigation becoming protracted for the Las Vegas police and that’s where the FBI retains their expertise his eyes begin rapid eye movement which again suggest recollection of video footage once more here. I blocking movement upon mention of suspects life then again upon motivation. This I’m blocking is accident by a head nod down as in a punctuation.

I’m blocking appointment you know everybody else associated with him throughout time.
Requires us to rely on FBI our resources for that success brief not followed by lip curl to the left.
Mention of locals not acquiescent nor is the FBI coming in with a hammer there is body rocking here suggesting that is infantile behavior needing condolences. So this suggests that this is a disturbing sentence for this FBI agent.

More head bobbling on the term a joint operation

Upon giving the agent opportunity to provide statements to agent nods his head down then opens his mouth again as an oh shit moment.

Right after the FBI agent takes the podium that Sheriff has his hands on his hips and takes his right hand and slowly wipes over his mouth and her mouth blocking movement. Clearly the Sheriff has a lot more to say but cannot. This is a universal tell: all mouth covering in mouth blocking movements mean that the subject has more to say but is holding it back. Sheriff also exhibits internal tongue rolling movements from around his lips which suggests absolute contempt for the FBI agent as he is looking at them.

As the FBI agent begins to speak the sheriff keeps his thumbs within his belt as of preparing for action and is clearly an alpha male position which suggests that he considers this FBI agent inferior from a masculine perspective. He also covers his mouth and rubs it once more after pursing his lips down for a while suggesting he has a hell of a lot more to say but cannot. Take very good notes that this is an extremely powerful tell from the sheriff. Sheriff stares at the local flag twice while the agent is speaking suggesting his connection to the local community. indirectly suggest the disconnection of the FBI agent to the community. Again sheriff rubs his mouth and covers it suggesting plenty to say but cannot.The sheriff is clearly feeling superior in with contempt towards the agent because his posture is that a Lawman ready to draw his weapons. This past year suggests that the FBI agent is an enemy of the local community from the perspective of the sheriff. This is an important tell! More mouth blocking behavior upon mention of hours and hours of videos from the hotels. Appointment shouldn’t of the FBI here assistant victims Sheriff does want mouth blocking behavior which suggests there’s a problem here. I’m blocking behavior appointment and of further factual information to further the investigation. This suggests there’s a problem with the factual information. Severe live person from the sheriff when he says if you know something say something. Mark down this clue! There is something powerful here because of the intensity of the lip person and slight show of the tongue which indicates contempt. After this sentence the sheriff straightens up lift up his head in a position of staring down the FBI agent. Eye blocking and downward head tilt during request for patients. Another movement to cover the mouth from the sheriff. More mouth blocking behavior of one mention of grieving as a community. Head jerk forward upon mention of prevention of it never happening again.

Back to direct observation of the FBI agent.…When he says thank you Sheriff there is a scowl on the mouth and lip curl to the right suggesting contempt for the sheriff.

The agent by blocks on his name and also I blocks on the word FBI. This suggests that he may be embarrassed by his position or overwhelmed by his position with the FBI with regard to this incident. This is very interesting!

Lip pursing after mention of support of our partner. Lip pursing on since the beginning and snarl on the word establish A command post. This suggests he’s extremely angry with the idea or with the command post.

Strong lip pursing after a mention of many supporting personnel. This suggests there is a serious problem with supporting personnel.

Upon mention of covering every facet of this investigation he stares off as a pondering some idea in the distance. His eyes are in the visual section during this statement. He ends with a lip purse. Also note that he does very very subtle I blocking upon the mention of the word FBI. This is difficult to see in less you slow down the film to 25% speed. But it is there. This cannot be ignored and suggests he has some sort of a problem with the FBI since this is not the first time he I blocks on the word FBI.
Very very strong eyebrow lifting upon mention of making significant progress. This seems to be an honest statement which suggests if it is true that he has identified the suspects and determine their motivation and possible organization connections otherwise he would not mention the term significant progress combined with strong eyebrow upward movement. This is a strong clue!
When he mentions no affiliation or signs of any illegal ideologies to any groups his eyebrows do not go upward and his eyes are looking left center and left up suggesting creation of a narrative instead of recalling an actual event. This puts the probability of him telling A lie route right here greater than 75%.

Body language suggests he doesn’t have enough people to work the case and he doubts that he can cover all facets of the investigation. You can only tell this by slowing the film down to 25%. This guy is full of quick micro expressions!

There are strange body language around FBI victims assistance. There’s body rocking behavior followed by a hint of a snarl and also recall the sheriff is reacting very emphatically in his body language on this. Also In asking for public factual information there is an obvious contempt expression here. This suggests this request is not serious. Angry snarl on the lips upon mention of please call us.

Mouth agape at mention of if you know something say something. Again this is an oh shit expression.
Another I’ve block upon mention of FBI. This reinforces the previous. Made that from his perspective there something wrong with the FBI.

Strong eyebrow lift on mention of FBI nor his partners rush to conclusions. This suggests a true statement with emphasis.

Eyebrow lift upon asking for patients. This suggests a true statement.

Another eye blocked on mention of the word FBI after brow lifting on mention of the FBI’s thoroughness and discretion.

Strong eyebrow raising upon mentioning of it is your city. This is a Freudian slip! The FBI agent definitely does not identify as part of the city. This also supports the theory that he has a problem with the FBI which suggests he does not want to be in Las Vegas! I squinting upon mention of the word Las Vegas when describing Las Vegas as a resilient community. Another data point suggesting he does not want to be in Las Vegas! Another I blocking on the word community when he mentions grieving as a community. Again reinforcing his disconnection with Las Vegas!

Appointments enough preventing another one from happening there is a upper lip curl which seems like a snarl toward the left side. 17:25

I blinks after the Sheriff mentions support and another narrative. He blinks a second time and then body rocking. He is clearly uncomfortable watching the sheriff at this point.

Head cock up to mention of 1000 heroes out there. The feeling of superiority obviously.

Eye blocking after Sheriff mentions my department.

Head bow when the Sheriff says I think it’s important for you to hear it.

Went the sheriffs begins in the first narrative the FBI agent has his head cocked up as if he is watching every move of the sheriff for some very weird and strange reason.

He starts responding when he says they ran out of tourniquets and started using other things to stop the bleeding. He suddenly moves toward the sheriff and then one eye blocking.

Moved away from the sheriff when he mentioned that Brady sustained for gunshot wound‘s. Begin of body rocking.

I look down right when Sheriff mentions the officer started arriving in vehicles as the suspect was firing on the crowds. Followed by eye blocking.

Head bobbles in yes fashion when the sheriff claims that the officers who took fire saved lives. Agent has no problem with this part of the story.

Very strong by blocking when the sheriff says whether he was targeting the police or not. This is so strong of an eye blocking movement deserves note. On rewind it’s an I block followed by an eyebrow flash which suggests the agent is in congruence with this statement. This is a very telling point. So the FBI agent knows for a fact that the police were targeted in this terrorist event. This definitely has implications for domestic terrorist groups.

Vegas Shooting Body Language Analysis - Press Conference 10/013/17 (Sheriff Only)

/// Disclaimer.  I am very skilled a Body Language Analysis.  However, I am just watching YouTube videos, and not on site.  Thus, I could possibly not have all information available to give a complete picture of the situation.  This is all my personal opinion, as the subject of Body Language has fascinated me for several years.  This even provides me with the opportunity to state predictions, and subsequently to track my accuracy.

We will review the Body Language Sheriff Lombardo.

This is the advantage of recording people on video as they speak, because you can zone in on one person's face, rewind, and review the observations, and after ward, analyze the other guy in a separate run through the video.

Do you suspect your wife or kids are lying to you?  Ask them questions while filming them, and send me the footage.

Procedure

• Go through the footage once, with focus on one particular person and take notes
• Review the notes, and note all patterns from the analysis
• Form conclusions based on patterns within the analysis

Conclusions

• Sheriff releases information only to the extent to calm down the public.  Stated more than once.
• He has contempt for this information being given to the public.
• There is a serious conflict between the sheriff and the medical community that he is desperately trying to fix.
• The Sheriff has a problem with the information he is being given.
• He is being fed information from some source or sources.
• Prime suspects escaped, but are no longer in Vegas.
• The police were a target of the terrorist attacks.
• This strongly suggests domestic terrorists involved in the attack.
• If this was a domestic terrorist attack, it would turn the entire country upside down, thus the holding of the information to keep the public calm.
• The Sheriff feels his position is threatened.
• Do not be surprised if he resigns or is fired.
• There is something important in the investigation with regard to the fuel tanks.
• The Sheriff does not believe the story about the fuel tanks.
• Sheriff has a problem with the public information office at the airport.
• He has a serious problem with the information discrepancy on the dates the hotel was booked.
• Serious problem with the checkin date of the 25th for the suspect.
• They are hiding the abnormalities of the autopsy at this time.
• The timeline is deliberately published as incorrect, but they cannot report this.
• There was an incident at another venue they cannot speak about.
• Officer Campos was interrogated, and this seems to be a big problem for some reason.
• There is a problem on the timeline with the dispatch.
• They are deliberately providing inaccurate information, and this bothers the Sheriff greatly.
• There is a problem with the timeline at the 9:59 point.
• I suspect that Campos gave inaccurate information here and they are greatly disturbed
• Campos is probably a suspect, and this inaccuracy in the timeline makes them feel like fools because they initially hailed him as a hero, but are now silent on this point!  But, they hailed two other officers are heroes toward end of press conference!
• So, it is almost certain that Campos is a suspect and part of the terrorist operation!
• Mention of a barricaded door adjacent to the suspect.
• Freudian slip, so there was another suspect involved in a room adjacent to the room of Paddock.
• The Sheriff did not catch that this was a Freudian slip.
• A 21:59 (9:59 PM) human entry into a security log suggests Campos made a note here, which is suspect, and thus, makes Campos a suspect because this timeline cannot be correct.
• Freudian slip, of course!
• Did Campos hack into the computer, or did he make a hand written note?
• Another (second) strong indication that Campos is in trouble for something that happened at 21:59
• Campos getting injuries at 22:05
• At the same time the shooting began?  Strange.  Very strange.
• There is a timing problem with Campos radio times stamp versus cell phone call stamp.
• Majority of Fire
• Freudian slip
• most of the shooting happened here
• but some shooting elsewhere outside of the venue and into the wider community of Las Vegas.

Sheriff Lombardo: Raw Analysis Notes

Source Footage:

Notes

Beginning at 28 the sheriff mentions stuff about his department and the body language is quite emphatic. After he says sheriff Clark county he purses his lips very firmly. And it looks like he gritted his teeth with anger and closes his eyes hard on the word police. This suggests that perhaps he may lose his job soon.

He gesticulates with both hands when he mentions outstanding issues in the public forum.
He trips up right after the word fuel tanks when he mentions a couple of items.

When he mentions the FBI agent he twice clenches down on his eyes suggesting conflict with the FBI. He also pauses long and hard before mentioning the FBI guy which suggests there’s a lot for him to think about with regard to this particular agent.

He says most of this conference will be done strictly through the narrative provided and he clenches his lips and mouth while looking down at the notes.With his hand gesticulating at this point it’s suggests he has a problem here. There is also another long pause and he clinches his lips and mouth once more. He is very disturbed here. A third time! He clenches his lips and his mouth very hard. This is a tell for an extremely extremely disturbing point for him.

The comment beginning about the injuries he closes his eyes somewhat hard and then braces the podium. This means it is at least important to him. He wiggles his finger on the podium and slightly pauses before he says an accurate picture of the injuries. This suggests that there is not an accurate picture of the injuries. What he says what is occurring with the injuries of the one October event he blinks hard perhaps three times suggesting there’s a big problem with this part of the statement.

Strong statement when he says let me back up just a minute when he gesticulates with his right hand index finger and Thumb in combination with lip clinch and mouth clinch. In early throes of this event of this tragedy he continues the same gesticulations.

Baseline note: when this guy pauses, the information that follows reveals what he paused about.
Pause before items of information are going to change. He’s making emphasis at this point would suggest the subliminal message to the reporters to be careful because this may impact Public Safety or something like that.

Hand gesticulation at the mention of the intent of early conferences was to give you the information  and provide the Calmness to the community. This was to ensure that wasn’t a second or third player hiding out in the community.

Note that he gesticulates on the second player or third player comment. This is a tell for a very very important point to be determined. Followed by a long pause then seeing there was no integrity question. This is an important point suggest there indeed was a second and third shooter but they can’t see anything at this point. 

Another pause at cyberspace questioning his integrity. This is a very very frustrating thing for him which suggests there is an issue here.

Another long pause followed by he provided information as he knew it. This suggests someone was feeding him bad or misleading information and this is bothering him.

Interesting comment when he says we will get through that commenting on the information change. Sounds like a Freudian slip on he will get through this because the questioning of his integrity was perhaps deliberate on the information miss leading.

Mention about not 100% satisfaction about information giving today with a hen a right-hand gesticulation on even that will change which suggests he knows for damn sure it will change.
Another right-hand gesticulation with thumb and index finger on lost in the narrative. That was strictly a public safety police and fire event. Another hand gesticulating saying including the medical community. This suggests a big conflict on the statement.

Hand gesticulation once more on mention of people taken to a medical facility with their bones dressed and taken care of. Again this suggest some big big conflict between the medical personnel narrative in the police and fire narrative. Another hand gesticulation on seeking healing process.
He mentions about an important piece and gesticulates with his left hand thumb and forefinger on the number of people still hospitalized. He is concerned that the number of deaths will go up based on the number of critical cases.

He trips up on the word medical profession after he clenches down his eyes. This suggests his mind was thinking of conflict with medical guys that he caught himself because the appropriate thing to do is to give appropriate credit to medical guys.

Critical pause before he says people meet their demise sometimes not under their control.
This also suggests that the number is actually much higher than 58 but for reasons of Public Safety they can’t release the real number but it could also mean that the jesses disturbed at the thought of the number going up.

Strange pauses on the word fuel tanks in combination with him insisting on reading from the narrative. This suggest that he may not be good at hiding his emotions when necessary for the investigation purposes.

Head scratch right after he says providing information referencing the fuel tanks. This is a massage action attempting to comfort.

Raising of his voice when he says it is believe the fuel tanks were fired upon followed by a slight pause. When he says with intent his gestures indicate that he does not believe this narrative rolling of the eyes suggest doubt for contempt.

This is followed by a seemingly corporate lawyer Lee reading of an oh Fishel statement from a company.

I clinching on the comment about already contacting experts. Another I clench on the term abundance of caution.

Lip clinch on public information office out of the airport. This suggests a conflict of some sort.
Teeth clinch on the word dates when he mentions the date of the 25th

He says they were aware of the discrepancies between the dates of the 23rd versus the 25th in the early part of the investigation. Not much body language data here.

Hand gesticulation right hand as he mentions the word the information as I was provided. This suggests he was provided incorrect information.

Another hands are sticky elation outwardly when he says as part of the person registered in The suspects room. This gesticulating indicates a problem right here with this statement.

Pauses at the term we have come to learn. Then another pause. Period. The suspect occupied the room on the 25th many body language Q stacked right here suggest there’s a big big problem with this statement.

I was acting on the information at the time I was providing it. This seems to be a pattern in this press conference followed by his conflicting body language typically with the pursing of the lips and mouth clinch. So he has a problem with the information he has been given many points.

Yes there has been an autopsy performed on Mr. Paddock. Note on the word Paddock another lip purse in mouth clinch. I am not sure what this means other than the name gives him plenty of stress. Then he follows this with or the suspect. This is strange wording in strange gestures.

Several pauses in body language gestures when he says there were no were the observations in the early part of the investigation. This suggests that there or indeed visual indicators now. Another emphasis that the initial report on abnormalities not present was a visual assessment.

Abnormalities to be presented at a later date is unknown followed by lip pursing mouth clinching and then sticking tongue out toward the right. Sticking tongue out typically indicates contempt in micro expression analysis. Perhaps he is in contempt of this statement from whomever.

Very long pause before mentioning about his investigators time being spent on the timeline.

When he says the word timeline he does a little purse mouth mouth clinch and sticks his tongue out again. This suggests he has contempt with the timeline as reported.

Genuine offense on the public accusations of incompetence.

Very strange sentence trip up in gestures when mentioning thousands of people involved humans involved in documentation in every venue involved in this information in this investigation. My intuition says the word venue was a Fradian slip. Also the word information seems to be a slight Freudian slip when he met the word investigation. This indicates he has a problem with the information he is being given again and it also indicates there is something involved in another venue that he cannot speak about.

Long pause followed by… The information was via security logs followed by a lip purse and a smack of the lips. There is a problem here! Officer Campos himself. Perhaps this trip up was the prequel to the mention of the officer. Maybe.

There’s a strange gesture when he mentions interrogation. The audio sounds like "lock interrogation" but this does not make any sense. This may be something to pay attention to has a clue.

Gestures at the word dispatch suggest there’s a problem with the dispatch.

Strange cluster of very quick gestures when he says the word accurate picture.

Another little purse on the word providing accurate information. There’s a pattern here with the information he is given where he is disturbed by it or frustrated by it.

Gesticulation with right hand and thumb and index finger where he says it is important that you listen to me. 9:59 is important. Another gesticulation emphasizing this. Another right-hand gesticulation when he says it wasn’t in accurate information I provided to you. Gesticulating when he says the circumstances associated with it is inaccurate. 

Very crucial Freudian slip in a discussion about Campos approaching a barricaded door adjacent to the suspect. Crucial Freudian slip. Why would there be a barricaded door adjacent to the suspects door unless there was another suspect?! So the security guard a send it to the 32nd floor to check out an open door alarm he was dispatched to an after he fixed that situation he received fire from the suspect. This does not explain why the sheriff said there was a barricaded door adjacent to the suspect. The is some type of Freudian slip suggesting an alternative narrative where he cannot give out details.

Big pause when he mentions 2159 as a human entry into a security log. This is a very long strange pause suggesting he is thinking about something extremely important as he is speaking.
He has a definite lip curl to the right when he says approximately 2159.

Speaking of officer Campos when he says in his attempt to gain entry I see flashes of micro expression anger.

Crucial body language analysis right here.  Hard gesticulating with the right hand hitting the podium about the time at 2159. Another right hand gesture at 2205 mention but not podium hitting here on the second time point. 

When he says the term initial volley of fire there is a clustering of body language here. I clench mouth clinch and let pursing here followed by another tongue sticking out. This suggests extreme discomfort in contempt with this piece of the information.

Lips stiffening and quivering when he mentions that Campos received his wounds at approximately 2205.

And speaking of the timeline of Campos radio versus the cell phone at the end of the statement his lip pursing gestures suggests he has a personal problem with this information.

The early reports about 2205 referencing the majority of fire upon our community was preceded by a very long pause. Again another Freudian slip when he says the term majority of fire. Suggests other fire from other sources but this particular place having the majority of fire. Also the term "upon our community" suggests widening of the effect from the concert itself to a wider area throughout Las Vegas community. Never ignore these Freudian slips! They always mean something. He also mentions these numbers were done by a combination of sources. This sounds to me like another Freudian slip where there or a combination of sources for each time point suggesting the event was much more complicated than is being reported.

Large body language gesticulations when mentioning 2217. Note rubbing of the nose comforting gesture. A smack followed by a sneer on the right side of his face. He has a problem of contempt with this piece of the information. This is when his officers arrived on the 32nd floor apparently. He mentions the term 12 minutes twice.  But logistics question is that at this point they believe the firing had ceased. How did they know the fire ceased? The only way they could know for sure is if the suspect was dead or rendered in capable of firing. This is very strange statement. Performed evacuations of the rooms adjacent to the suspect. Recall one adjacent room was barricaded. This leads me to believe that there something up with this adjacent room that they cannot release to the public.

Long pause then he says so there is no conspiracy accompanied by a right hand gesture. He says nobody is hiding anything and there is no conspiracy. If this is true it suggests he is being cut out if there is some sort of national security issue going on here.

Lip draws up on right on left when he mentions FBI so this suggests some conflict with the FBI.
Emphatic right hand gesture when he says my attempt as I stated earlier to give you information as I know about it to calm down people. Suggest that he is being fed information from another source for the purposes of preventing public outcry. Perhaps he knows he’s an information stooge for some national security issue of which is not privy to. 

Also live person and sticking out tongue when he says to calm the public. This is a big giveaway where he has contempt for the information given out to the public.

Sticks out tongue before he says does everybody understand that? This suggest he knows he’s giving out information for public consumption that he is the conduit of this information but he may not be privy to the real story for national security reasons.

Little purse at future investigation then long pause.

Stand hand-in-hand with the FBI and the continuance of this investigation followed by a lip purse. Another problem indication hear of some sort.

Long sigh and pause when he mentioned that his department’s role in the investigation has become contracted. His concern was the initial safety of the community followed by a trip but pause here suggest he is just a conduit of information and perhaps not a real participant. On the pause it seems that he almost said he was concerned with the initial safety of the suspect. This is a big Freudian slip. This is consistent with my theory that the reported shooter is not a suspect. His subsequent statement suggest that if the suspect escaped he is not in the local community location but perhaps far away only where the FBI has jurisdiction and not the local police.

Note the comment the suspects and everyone else associated with him throughout time. This suggesting knows that there are further suspects.

Strong right hand gesture when he says he doesn’t want anyone to take offense that there are thousands of heroes but he wants to take it home about guys in his department. That’s further above this suggests there is a big big conflict between his department in another department perhaps medical departments. Since this is the second time he emphasize this point this should be flagged as an extremely big deal.

Big narrative about personal stories from his department reinforces the suggestion of conflict among medical versus law-enforcement where he thinks he needs to make a point here.

He emphasizes that there’s a couple of individuals he wants the reporters to write about. Then a narrative about one officer taking for wounds when the shooter diverted gunfire from the crowd on to the police vehicles. He said it was readily apparent to him that the suspect adjusted his fire. The question arises (from me) here as to what sort of bullets could have penetrated a vehicle frame and or a window to hit the cop with four injuries.

So he is putting out information to the public that the police were also a target in this terrorist attack. This bothers him so much that he appears to be saying this but his own power.

He remained on scene provided security for the medical personnel even after he broke his leg and sustain the intense injury to his leg. Note the expression when he mentions medical personnel. This is another data point suggesting there is a departmental conflict between his guys in the medical guys.
He thanks the community for letting him be at sheriff. This cluster of indicators suggest that there are questions about his position

Vegas Shooting Body Language Analysis - Press Conference 10/09/17

/// Disclaimer: The following is all my personal opinion.  I could be dead wrong.  But, I love to guess and then see how accurate I was in a prediction.

Since we are not getting a coherent picture from the Vegas Shooting Terrorist incident, I will pull out some big guns here and perform some body language analysis.  My background in this subject gives me the expertise level where it is rare anyone can lie to be where I do not detect the lie.  Those wishing to pursue this subject as a study need to read "What Everybody is Saying," by Joe Navarro, a former FBI interrogator.

Hints to law enforcement and anyone giving live interviews.  Body Language experts can and will notice deception and lies.  You cannot control body language, and we experts can basically read your mind right off the screens.  Yeah, it sounds unbelievable and wild, but it is true.  So, please do not be afraid in the commentary below, because the research is out there, and anyone can do this with practice and training.  Yes, we can read minds.

Analysis

The Sheriff

"I am Joe Lombardo with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police department"  0:04

• There is an irritated blink after this statement, followed by a curled left lip.  Mentioning of the police department is making him nervous.  
• This suggests there is a problem with the police department.  Speculation: perhaps there is a conflict between the locals and the feds here.

"I'll give you some insight to where we're going with this."  0:13

• There is a noticeable pause, and sigh here.
• This suggests he has a problem where they are going with the investigation.

"Ill be happy to answer a small number of questions."

• He braces the podium at this point.
• This is a tell which is the psychological equivalent of a falling.
• Answering questions is disturbing him.

"Along with many agents from the FBI and ATF"

• Notice the sing-song tone when he says "many agents"
• Suggests sarcasm and sneering toward the feds

"updated information"

• He glares on this word.  Big problem with his updates.  Perhaps he is withholding information, or giving misleading information, or some others have done such a thing.

"Details that have been reported in the media."

• Lip curl here.  He has a problem with details reported in the media.

"We are in contact with him."

• He tripped up here, and there is a fleeting micro expression that is worthy of note
• Micro expression is left-up, suggesting Lombardo does not like what he sees here.  Visual recalled memory.

Lombardo is subtly gnashing his teeth as he describes the actions of the security guard.  

• There is something about the security guard story that Lombardo is angry about.

"His room check."

• Lombardo braces hard here, so this is disturbing to him.  We conclude that perhaps there is a problem with the room check.

"the Door alarm down the hall."

• Rolls his eyes here.  Lombardo is skeptical of the story or does not believe the story.

"In the moments before the...he was shot."

• Another strange reaction to the same incident.  
• This security guard thing is really scaring the crap out of Lombardo.
• There is genuine fear from Lombardo on this piece of the story
• Where is the fear coming from?
• Is he scared of a lie?
• Is he scared that something went terribly wrong here that if found out, he or someone he is close to will be in serious trouble?
• Body language experts need to pay close attention here!
• Clearing of the throat resembling a weeping response
• Stack of so many body language indicators here suggests something greatly disturbs the sheriff!

"An who he came in contact with during the planning phase."

• Stack of indicators here also.  
• There is a problem of who he came in contact with.

No evidence of a second shooter.

• Indicators point to this statement either being false, or the sheriff does not like the fact that there is no evidence.

"Had affiliations with any known terrorist groups or ideologies"

• very clear flash of anger here.
• Eye roll
• So, this statement is obviously suspect
• He is either giving false information or he is angry that no evidence has turned up.

"One particular event in the suspect's life to key in on."

• body language stack here suggest this statement is false, and he is not happy about it.
• Also notice the lawyerly language: "Do not believe there is one particular event"
• Lawyerly language suggesting there is more than one particular event.
• Students should study this carefully on how I can see this without almost any doubt.

Lots A and B

• A strange body language stackup here
• This suggests the Sheriff is very disturbed about findings in these two particular lots.
• This is not something to ignore
• I will say that I am almost certain there is a key point here in Lots A and B, whatever that means.

The room at Mandalay Bay

• Notice pause and lip action here.
• There is a problem here!

Associated with another individual

• body language and micro expression flash suggest he is seeing an image in him mind of another individual.
• tap of the podium reinforcing "another individual"
• Conclude that there is another individual, and he has seen him.

Went along in the suspect's mind

• Nonverbal tell that the term "went along" here, he is unconsciously meaning "went along with the suspect," but he catches himself before almost uttering this phrase.

An alarm associated with an open door...it was not the suspects open door.

• This may provide the clue as to why the Sherriff was disturbed by the story of the security guard
• Perhaps the other alarm was on the door of another suspect.
• 
  

Sherriff is very disturbed by the fact the guard was shot before the outside shooting.

• Something about this is freaking Lombardo out.

Are there any other numbers or writings in the room...

• he says "I am not aware of any," then, "I am not personally aware of any."
• body language and wording suggest there are indeed other writings found in the room.
• note lawyerly language, trip-up, redirection, etc.

Disturbing body language incident here.  Begins at 12:26

• Sheriff is very disturbed
• mentions some inaccuracies of what he previously said which is a Freudian slip.
• Freudian slip saying that Campos is a suspect.
• "I don;t want to say the suspect's name," so we will call him the suspect."
• This is so obvious as to conclude that Campos is a suspect
• Freudian slips at this point are so obvious as to conclude that Campos is a suspect, and perhaps Paddock may not be a suspect due to lack of escape plan.
• Definitely doubts the Paddock escape plan
• This would support that Paddock was murdered

I also conclude based on this (begin 13:04) mass confusion of will bubbling up emotions in the Sheriff, that there were other incidents bringing first responders to the incorrect location, and allowing someone to escape.  Bullet points possibility based on Freudian slips, confusion, and his high stress:

• many other shooters - more than 2
• someone escaped, or several escaped
• campos was likely involved, and probably took the shot at the fuel tanks.  Maybe.
• suggests also that Campos was found with additional things like body armor, etc.

We do not know if he intended to cause additional harm

• I am almost certain this is a false statement based upon his level of disturbance and the conflict of body language.

The explosives were not set up to detonate with a trigger

• pause suggests that the explosives were indeed set up to detonate, perhaps with other means.

They were not aware of him being shot until after they met him in the hallway

• Flash of clear anger here
• I am getting more and more convinced this Campos has something to do with this.

Between the 25th and the 28th.

• body language suggest the Sheriff knows that someone else was in the room during those dates.
• suggests a setup of Paddock from someone else.

If he doesn't have a name, then nobody can relate to him

• ouch!  So, they do not have the name of the prime suspect!
• Students must always pay attention to Freudian slips that come up continually, under the guise of another sony being told subconsciously.

Multiple cell phones question

• he looks to the FBI agent for permission to say
• So, there are multiple people involved in the operation

FBI Guy

"Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department"

• tensing of lips suggest there is a conflict between the locals and the Feds.

Some insight to where we are going with the investigation

• lips tensing again suggest he has a problem here.

Since our last briefing

• same repsonse suggests a problem with the last briefing

ATF Agents

• subtle eye movement here I cannot decode

More updated information

• Head jerk here after subtle eye clench
• problems with the information
• disturbing information indicated by jerk - perhaps surprising information

One more piece of the puzzle

• reacts here

And who he came in contact during the planning phase

• long drawn downward look here suggests something 

No evidence to indicate there was a second shooter

• guy is trying hard not to react, and you can see him clenching reaction here.

Never been seen with anyone else.

• right lip curl here

Mentioning of lots A,B,C,D

• elicits strange reactions from FBI guy and sheriff.

Drilling

• nothing released to the public about knocking, but it was an open door.
• suggests withheld information the press got hold of on the knocking part.

FBI guy is very disturbed by the question about what time Campo got his injury

• mouth open in an "oh shit" expression completely out of baseline with his sturdy demeanor.
• This is why I have said that cops are the easiest to read!
• because disturbances from the baseline are obvious.
• One second watch, the FBI guys is very, very disturbed by this question.

Time line explanation of change

• This is freaking out FBI guy

Alarm associated with an open door..it was not the suspect's open door, it was another's.

• FBI guy is holding in explosive emotions here
• head jerk on "why mr campos was near that door"
• This is a key point of disturbance for FBI guy!

Delay in his reporting

• FBI guy subtly rolls his eyes.  Way above baseline behavior, so this is also important.
• Something wrong with the story right here
• supports something very wrong with Campos part of the story.

Any other writings

• FBI guy looks up and right, which suggests visual recollection
• this is way off baseline as he typically looks down-left and down-right.
• so, there is almost certainly other writings found that are important.

Any delay in his reporting

• Okay, this is a lot of tells on this point
• So, there is something wrong with the Campos guy that is disturbing them both

Maintenance worker

• another strong tell from FBI guy way off baseline.
• highly likely the maintenance worker was involved in the event
• clenched lips and a hint of anger here.

He was gambling the night before

• FBI guy's eyes are wriggling from side to side
• He is likely mentally recalling watching some video image of someone gambling, perhaps Paddock

Paddock's girlfriend

• no reaction suggests there is nothing to this part of the story

If he doesn't have a name, nobody can relate to him

• FBI guy nods to this
• suggest they do not know the prime suspect or important suspects

Recombing evidence

• lip clench here

In the valley and where he was going

• FBI guy's imagination kicks in and he is recalling something here of some importance.

Electronic equipment

• strong head nod here.
• probably another important point

A lot of hidden pieces to this puzzle

• FBI guy goes into a trance here and is lost in  thought, and does not hear the beginning at least of the next question.
• suggests they are deliberately hiding pieces, for whatever reason.
• A trance is an important observation
• loss of focus upon the present moment
• triggered by the sentence

Vegas Shooting: Stacking of Improbabilities

When performing an investigation, you evaluate evidence based on probabilities for things that are not certain.  We are certain that automatic weapons were fired with particular bullets because of the rate of fire in the footage, the number of people killed, and bullets found on the crime scene.  The stuff of physics, chemistry, and the like are straight-forward.

What makes this story so crazy are the reports of activity, that, when you add up the probabilities, it comes down to almost impossible, or certain.

List of Low Probability Evidence:

• 64 year old dude takes 23 plus weapons into a hotel room, and nobody notices (gun store purchases, security, bell boys, family, girlfriend, etc) 
• Probability: 5%
• 64 year old dude shoots off automatic fire for ten minutes by himself
• Probability: 5%
• 64 year old high-roller gambler has no camera or video footage anywhere of him since 2011 (friends, family, play mates, business partners, girlfriends, random players, etc)
• Probability: less than 1%, virtually impossible

So, the story as reported by the authorities is virtually impossible.  Only superman or Iron Man can do the crap they claim he has done.

Evidence supporting CIA-type undercover operative:

• International travel regularly
• Age and experience: gray hair and beard
• Extremely intelligent with numbers
• Worked for defense contractors previously
• "retired" at 54
• Disappear from family contact for months at a time
• Family never knew when he would show up
• Plane record trail links to security contractor out of Langley
• Lots of money playing at a casino
• casinos will not let you win big as a professional gambler - they will eventually ban you from premises if you are "too good."
• Possible laundering of money in collusion with the casinos to fund black operations for undercover work: guns, drugs, girls, supplies, etc.
• Vegas was run by the mafia in the old days, so collusion with the underworld would not be surprising.  
• Missing photo and video evidence (to the public at any rate)
• casinos have footage of everything - they cannot afford not to!
• It was a terrorist event
• public
• shocking
• killing of women, possibly children, and other youngsters
• targeting of a Scots-Irish American ethnic group
• His death photos show very clean pants and shoes
• Not wearing boots, or tennis shoes, but leather loafers
• Gloves appear clean in death photos
• Death photo appears to be an execution
• Lack of any darkness or sociopathic facial features in the photos we have seen of him
• missing video footage of Paddock: 
• cannot expose an undercover counter-terrorist operative at any cost!
• ISIS was desperate to claim responsibility several times
• supports strongly the undercover counter-terrorism angle

Thus the most plausible (and possible) story, as I mentioned in a previous post:

• Paddock was an undercover counter-terrorist operative
• Paddock was responsible for thwarting this particular incident, but something went wrong, and got himself killed.
• Since this was a black operation, there is no way the public can learn about the details of such operations
• Details would expose undercover people
• details would expose methods and procedures
• details would give terrorists valuable information to increase the efficiency of their operations
• Details would shut down every secret government agency

Less plausible, but possible scenarios:

• Paddock was radicalized by some terrorist group within the past 6 months, had a shooting team in place, and was a martyr for Allah or Satan.

Crucial Evidence: Vegas Shooting Brother Interview

This guy is legit.  His body language is spot on, and he is not lying.

He establishes that the brother was a high roller, a professional gambler, and that everyone at the hotels and casinos knew him.  Problem: there is no video footage of Stephen anywhere gambling.  Do a search and prove me wrong.

This, my friends is impossible.  If you gamble in Vegas, there are tons of footage of your every move.

This piece of the puzzle is the most crucial at this point in establishing many enormously important points.  

Now, we will walk through some Logic-Tight if-then-else type statements that establishes a few shocking conclusions.

• If there is no video footage of Stephen Paddock, then, Stephen Paddock was never in Vegas.  Think clearly about that point.  It is an indisputable syllogism.
• If Stephen Paddock was in Vegas, and there is no video footage of him at the casinos, then someone must have removed these videos.

Exhibits

There is no YouTube video footage of Stephen Paddock at any casinos other than alleged surveillance footage back in 2011:

There are only two possible conclusions from this:

• Stephen Paddock was never in a Vegas casino since 2011
• YouTube and Google removed all videos of Paddock since 2011 within casinos

Both of these conclusions are air-tight with logic consistently applied to what we know for sure.

Thus, taking each conclusion to its logical limit, we will discuss the implications of both conclusions.

Conclusion 1: Stephen Paddock was never in a Vegas casino since 2011

Implications:

• investigators are lying
• investigators are covering up evidence for some unknown reason
• investigators are being fed false evidence and false information
• investigators are being told to lie for national security reasons

Conclusion 2: YouTube and Google removed all videos of Paddock since 2011 within casinos

Implications:

• Someone at Google and YouTube removed the videos of Stephen Paddock
• The person removing the videos did so under two scenarios:
• He was ordered to remove the videos by management
• He hacked the system and destroyed the videos

So, the above points are not disputable.  Try if you will.

Stephen Paddock is a Ghost

PSA: Yeah, if you are CIA or the like reading this, and you think I should take this post down for national security purposes, just let me know guys...


So, there are no videos of him in casinos, or toting equipment in the elevators, or anything.  A high roller at the casinos would have tons of video footage from security in Vegas.

So, his profile is almost certainly bogus for some reason.  Perhaps it is a national security issue, given the seeming incompetence of the response teams and the absolute nonsense from the media sources, and the strange FBI denunciation of the ISIS responsibility claim.

His death photos look real enough to me.  So...

My assumption is that he was an undercover CIA operative who's job it was to foil terrorist plots.  ISIS thinks he is one of them, or a "convert," but the operation got fucked up, they "made" him, and killed him after the terrorist attack.

So, in conclusion, my guess was that the CIA or some related agency was responsible for foiling a terrorist plot, but they got "made" and fucked up the operation.

I would doubt the feasibility of the political climate of some black ops agency taking the fall for getting 59 people killed, so they cannot admit to some operation like this.

The problem is that any data is hackable if it is on a computer, and no information is safe, so it will get out, fortunately or unfortunately.

Vegas Shooting Notes #3

Hardly anything in this story, as reported makes any sense.  There are so many factual errors, impossibilities, improbabilities, missing information, it makes you wonder how incompetent everyone is nowadays, and who the hell is running things.

Let's make a few more points, and then we will have to wait perhaps years before we find out what went on at this strange event.

///

There are only 2 photos of this apparent multi-millionaire, who invested in real estate around Vegas, and gambled heavily at casinos.  Given this profile, we would have hundreds of hours of video footage and  photos of him.  Everyone knows that casinos have top notch security with cameras covering every corner, and every player's move.  Millionaires are well connected and do lots of deals, so a lot of people would know him.  People working at the casino would know him very well, along with people at the hotel, including security.

The weapons stockpile cannot go unnoticed.  If this stockpile is true, everyone who was connected with him would have know he was a gun fanatic.  Family, friends, lovers, and guys at the shooing ranges.  If he had explosives, he had to have a supplier, and cash.  Chemical analysis can establish the origin of manufacture of the explosives.

The guns all have to have serial numbers, and thus, we all know where they came from.  Photographs of sales, sellers that saw a lot of cash come in, etc, would know this guy well.  If they were legal sales, all have background checks, and tons of data establishing dates, location, price, etc.

If he spent a lot of money as claimed, there is a trail of receipts establishing his every move.

Performing this act required a lot of planning.  Unless he has a photographic memory, there would be tons of data on computers or notebooks detailing equipment, supplies, sketches, schedules, locations, timing, over perhaps several days, weeks, or even months.

The strangest thing is that supposedly the police took about 72 minutes to find him.  This is the most damning piece of crazy information out there.  Firing off hundreds of rounds would alert adjacent hotel guests, which would establish his location within minutes.  Unless the hotel was completely empty, it would be straightforward to establish location with high precision from locations of guests calling in complaints of noise and gun shots.  Furthermore, hotel security would have known fast where the complaints and the noise were coming from, unless they did not have cameras everywhere, which would be incompetent.  So, we need the camera footage of all floors.

We also would have camera footage of him bringing in all the equipment to the hotel.  We need to see his face and him hauling all the equipment.

Shooting these guns would require grip strength, good eyesight, tolerance for loud noises (perhaps ear plugs), muscular coordination, and a certain amount of stamina.  His health needs to be investigated to see if he was even capable of such an act.

The two blown windows suggest two shooters, unless they provide evidence that these were adjacent rooms, with stocked equipment, or if he had the physical stamina to move from one location to the other with the equipment to perform the acts.

///

Likely profile:
Age 35-50

Build: muscular or working class (i.e., truck driver strong), able to handle large objects "like a man"  Impossible to be a disabled frail guy (without help).

Background: Illegal drug trafficker or military. Cannot be just an "accountant who went nuts."

Motive: animus against the profile of people listening to country music, or animus against white people (specifically scots-irish Americans).

Skills: patient planning, knowledge of a supplies list (BOM, Bills of Materials), keeping close track of equipment, automatic weapons shooting/training, types of bullets for what guns, belt driven magazines/clips, loading, reloading, cocking, locking, etc.

Sociopathic: must be able to kill without remorse women and youngsters.  Such would likely come up in conversations among those who know him as completely calloused and cold toward with all people or certain types of people (like scots-irish Americans or rednecks, etc)

Race: probably not Scots-Irish, unless he hates his father or mother to the point of heritage self-hatred.

Religion: probably not religious, unless radicalized in a cult that condones violence and murder of some sort.

Vegas Shooting Notes #2

///  These are general observations, conclusions, and calculations from a guy who is good with numbers and Physics.

///

• Interesting Missing news
• Since the M2 was very loud, what did the nearby room occupants have to say about all of the noise during the 10 plus minutes of the shooting?
• How did he get all of this equipment to this room without being noticed for strange luggage, and luggage carting, and hiding of weapons from prying eyes, elevator specs, luggage tote specs, Pelican cases, etc.
