isn't the leading conspiracy theory an arms deal gone wrong?


Do you normally bring thousands of rounds of ammo to an arms deal?

If your illegally purchased firearms do not work, you don't just go to the return line and get a store credit.

This.

If there was a story to be made, the media would report it. In this day and age, a government official can't fart without someone reporting it and trying to turn it into a big event.

FBI is useless

It has become a joke, along with DOJ

It was more important to dox Nicholas Sandmann before the exonerating videos came out than to cover a mass shooting. Of course the shooting was at a country music concert and no one goes to those....(according to people like those laid off last week at HuffPo and BuzzFeed.)






That's patently false.

This idea that Vegas didn't get massive, massive amounts of coverage is a sham. The search term "las vegas shooting" was nearly 13x more popular than "parkland shooting" at it's peak.

I think the upvote/downvote results of this comment is funny. 55 downvotes?

Anyone who thinks this was some type of conspiracy, what evidence do you have? You are taking bits and pieces of information and using it to connect to some crazy idea you have or read about.

Why did this guy also scope out Lollopalooza to do this?

He was just fricked in the head and wanted to cause mayhem and destruction.

good summary and seems very plausible

I don’t necessarily subscribe to the theory that it was a CIA coverup, but something isn’t right here.



Agreed, there's a lot of things about the shooting that should've been answered but haven't which leads to conspiracies. The Saudi arms deal just doesn't make any sense, though.

IMO, the most probable scenario is Caesers used their clout to suppress information and publicity to limit any civil liabilities they may face.

The media coverage on this vanished.


Or was it just like every other story? Something else comes up and they move on.

And there were likely more FBI agents arresting Roger Stone at gunpoint than there were investigating the deadliest shooting in American history.


So it's likely they had more FBI agents arresting Roger Stone? Can you confirm this?

It's one thing to realize that anything is possible. There is nothing wrong with thinking outside the box.. But to say "this is what really happened" you need evidence.

And as for as our government being dishonest and corrupt. There will never be a perfect government. And yes it is dishonest, but that's politics. But to say it's corrupt, there are so many moving parts in our government, it's hard to say the whole government is corrupt, because we do have checks and balances.

There might be some agencies that are corrupt, some politicians might be corrupt, but eventually, it will catch up with them. The more people who know about something illegal or immoral going on, the more likely it will get exposed.

With that said, our government has done things that was once considered a conspiracy theory. The crack epidemic was indirectly created by the government. We were backing the Contra rebels in Nicaragua and their drug trafficking was funded by by the US (funds approved by Congress as humanitarian funds).

The drugs were sold in poor areas of L.A. because of the lack of police presence in the area. If you think this is bullshite google Gary Webb of the San Jose Mercury News. The movie 'Kill The Messenger' is based off of this.

Was there ever a bonified motive that the ex Marine, who shot and killed all those people from the University of Texas tower, determined to have?
I don't think there was.
