It has been over two and a
half weeks since the "deadliest mass shooting in U.S.
history" and it is strangely quiet in Las Vegas.
UTT's John Guandolo and
Chris Gaubatz were in Las Vegas for two days this week speaking at a
terrorism conference. We met with a local leaders, spoke to law
enforcement with insight into the investigation, and walked through
the Mandalay Bay, the location from which the attack took place.
Several red flags continue
to call attention to an investigation that is intent on looking
everywhere but at the heart of the matter for answers.
The media has all but
forgotten the event even took place.
And still, not a peep from
any Islamic leader.
The best analysis of the
attack based on facts and evidence currently available is that this
attack was an Islamic State operation. There is little or no
information which even begins to contravene this assessment.
There is also the curious
behavior of Australian Brian Hodge, who claimed on twitter he was in
the room "next to Paddock" in 32134 at the Mandalay
Bay. Yet, evidence reveals Paddock was firing from rooms 32135
AND 32134. Hodge also told Australian media outlets he was on
the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay when the attack was in progress,
and then fled to bushes near the hotel where he remained for 3 1/2
hours.
The story he told the media
is strange and inconsistent with the facts. See/hear his
interviews here
and here.
Yet, as of the publication
of this article, Brian Hodge has not been interviewed by the FBI or
the Las Vegas Sheriff's Office.
While there are many wild
theories floating on the internet about this attack, it is not hard
to imagine why citizens would conjure up such theories. The
lead investigative agency, the FBI, declared the event "not
terrorism" immediately after the event, and have demonstrated no
understanding of recent attacks - certainly not in the last eight
years.
Prior to Omar Mateen
killing 49 and wounding nearly 60 others in Orlando, Florida, he was
interviewed several times by the FBI as the subject of an
investigation. The week prior to his attack, Mateen cleared all
of his debt in accordance with Islamic Law (sharia). A shahid
is forgiven all wrong-doing, except debt.
How many Counter-Terrorism
agents in the FBI know this? The answer is a number
approximating zero.
Investigators have
dismissed Islam or the Islamic State as a possible avenue to pursue
in the Las Vegas attack, despite the fact that the Islamic State
claimed the attack as their operation through their official
channels.
By failing to include Islam
and jihad as the root of the attack, investigators cannot look at the
likely cause and the doctrine driving the jihadi Movement -
sharia. Paddock sent $100k to the Philippines. Did it go
to pay off debt? You can be assured no one is looking at this
one simple action in the proper investigative light.
Its not possible to get the
answers you need when you shut the door on the most likely motive for
this attack.
