The Jesus Campos storyline is interesting to me on how much power a big corporation like MGM has to control narratives.

What's hard to understand? MGM didn't want him out there running his mouth and potentially saying who knows what. I am sure they either offered him a cush job at some out of the way property in a location of his choice or just wrote him a fat check to STFU. And lets be honest, who wouldn't take that offer?

Went and Googled it. As expected:

Luis Castro said his former brother-in-law Mandalay Bay Security Officer Jesus Campos told him that MGM Resorts International (MGMRI) knew that gunman Stephen Paddock had 'suspicious amounts of luggage' and guns in his room but security 'neglected' it because of his high-roller status. He said Campos signed a non-disclosure agreement with MGMRI. Campos received an all-expenses-paid trip and 'gifted' two condos where he could reside, Castro claims. MGMRI hid Campos under guard at the Vdara Hotel and Spa after the October 1, 2017 Las Vegas Massacre for protection where his room and meals were provided, Castro said.

Dude sold out for two condos. I would take that deal.

You know what they say, what happens in Vegas...

CIA gun deal gone bad. Right. Because the CIA has no better place, in a state that is 90% abandoned desert, to do a secret gun deal. Yep, they are going to tote a couple dozen rifles (ones you can buy at a sporting good store) up to a hotel suite to sell them. That must be it!

great points

I know most news outlets said he was an ‘estranged’ brother - but sometimes I think it had something to do with his brother that was picked up for child pornography not too long after

He really wanted any team bit the Raiders coming town

It is amazing that we never even got a D-Level Documentary on Netflix about the event.

Even one of those 48 minute versions where they show the same handful of clips six or seven times.

I am guessing no one has been able to secure the rights to enough footage (I would not be surprised if MGM went and bought up all the rights with a “dummy” company immediately after to prevent the exact type of thing) to put together anything that would be visually captivating and not just all interviews.

Imagine how many smartphones were there filming during the concert and immediately after. Seems a lot of those videos have disappeared forever. That alone would be an interesting lead to explore.

Here is the video of him making several trips over several days, to his room, each time with a good bit of luggage. Its pretty crazy.

It’s hard for people to grasp that there isn’t always an answer, or a reason. Sometimes people commit senseless acts. Happens all the time.

People have some reason even when they commit senseless acts. From the information out there, this (relatively) normal guy just stockpiled assault weapons and coldly went to town on a bunch of strangers at a country concert.

This wasn’t politically, religiously, racially, or sexual orientation motivated, nor was it a personal vendetta or random fit of rage. There wasn’t some manifesto or social media posts (that we know of) that detailed his plans, so he likely wasn’t doing it for notoriety or attention.

Throw on top that this has been buried and minimized basically since day 1 and something doesn’t add up. The only people with power to silence media is the federal government. Likely an intelligence agency.
