ISIS Jihadi Explains Las Vegas Attack is “Cultural Penetration” by ISIS

51

ISIS has taken credit for the Las Vegas mass murder. They do not take credit for events that are not theirs. The FBI has dismissed this motive out of hand. They have nothing else. Instead, they are throwing out nutty motives — i.e., he took took an occasional Valium over the course of a couple of years. The whole of America has taken a couple of Valiums over the course of a couple of years. The FBI would prefer any nutty conspiracy theory over the obvious motive.

The FBI cannot be trusted on Islamic terror.

Why hasn’t one reporter asked the most obvious question. Do you know for a fact that Stephen Paddock did not convert to Islam?

Jihadist Observes Las Vegas Attack as “Cultural Penetration” by IS, Gives Short Story “Inspired” by Media Accounts of Shooting

Jihadist News, SITE Intel, October 15, 2017:

An Islamic State (IS) supporter gave his analysis of the Las Vegas attack, observing that it demonstrates a “cultural penetration” by the group through its indoctrinating an unlikely individual, and gave a short story “inspired” by media accounts of the shooting.

The jihadist “Abu Waqar al-Gharib,” who had posted similar analyses following the Orlando, Nice, and London attacks, posted his perspective on Las Vegas and his story on the Deep Web pro-IS forums Shumukh al-Islam and al-Minbar Jihadi Media on October 13, 2017.

He wrote that contrary to American culture influencing others, with its slogans of individual freedom, diversity, and achieving one’s dreams, a white American in his 60s adopted Islam and within six months carried out an attack “for the Caliphate”. Therein lies a major difference with prior IS-inspired and IS-directed attacks, to the point that law enforcement and the media have cast doubt on the group’s responsibility, despite their claiming it. Abu Waqar pointed to hypocrisy in this, noting that while people ascribe blame to the IS for an attack before it claims credit for it, these same people call the group liars after they took responsibility for Las Vegas.

He continued, exploring the aftermath of the attack, with the ongoing gun control debate in the U.S., and journalists expressing that jihadi operations have become normal in the West, while U.S. President Donald Trump continues to fight the Affordable Care Act.

Following his analysis, Abu Waqar presented a short story inspired by the incident, where he has the shooter, Stephen Paddock, being indoctrinated after listening to lectures by Anwar al-Awlaki and reading the translated writings of Sayyid Qutb, and then becoming motivated to attack after watching scenes of women and children killed by U.S. aircraft in Mosul. He wrote, for example:

At around 10 at night he pulled the trigger and sprayed the first round of bullets, and then the second, and he continued that until 11:09. He said, smiling after he thought of the images of American aircraft firing devastating rockets, “This is justified terror!”

Being 60 does not cure stupid. I Do not know any but, given the numbers it should not come as a surprise. You do know that John Brennan former head of the CIA for President Obama is a Muslim. He converted some years ago while CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia. Troubled people convert to religion to find meaning for their lives and some become Muslims.

Mental illness is a threat especially to the elderly. Bitterness and senility also are typical in older people. Islam attracts the bitter and disenfranchised mind. Of course one has to be unbalanced to embrace Islam (or indoctrinated at a young and impressionable age.)

Downey, yes. I saw an article recently on this subject, I think it was on Robert Spencer’s site, which lists some post-60 conversions. New converts tend to be the most fervent and radical believers.

Perhaps LE is daring ISIS to release evidence of the conversion. Certainly the investigation of Vegas shooting is bizarre in the extreme.

I hope this is the case, because the LE are looking inept, emotional and deceitful.

Back in the early 60s the news said Dallas was a hotbed of violent right wing nuts. These “reports” came out right before Kennedy arrived there.

When he was shot, the media played through, announcing that the killer was one of their right wing nuts.

Only later did it come out that Oswald was a Communist, had subscribed to the Daily Worker when he had been stationed in Japan by the Marine Corps, had actually gone into a self-imposed exile in Minsk in the Soviet Union after mustering out, had married a Soviet citizen there, etc.

The shooter at the Republican charity baseball practice was the same deal – he was a “right wing crazy”, until too much evidence came out that he was a Leftist.

So much for the media and their violent right wing nuts. Every political assassin in American history has been a Leftist or a Muslim.

Why is the picture of a 30 something Paddock always shown and not the 60 something appearance? Why are newspapers, and almost all media never showing the man at his real age? Why keep showing this OLD photograph depicting him as young and virile?

They want to portray him as a none drinker. But the first pic we saw of him he has a shot in his hand. There is a narrative going on for sure.

ISIS has not claimed responsibility in the past for actions that are not theirs. That policy doesn’t have bearing on what they might be doing now, especially considering that Islam allows for dishonesty. What does “cultural penetration” mean? It’s bs, a way of saying they had no direct or indirect connection with Paddock but suggesting they had some influence.

If Paddock was a psychopath, a paranoid, a man with a serious personality disorder, etc., then yes he may have been inspired by the viciousness and mass casualities caused by jihad terrorists but that doesn’t make him a jihadi. Unless the FBI and the Las Vegas PD are hiding evidence, if Paddock were a jihadi we’d have some evidence of that — a video, a statement, something declaring his allegiance, Islamic texts. With all the evidence collected in his homes, his computers, his girlfriend’s history there’d be something.

Yes, there would “be something.” But, that taken in the context of data of the incident removed from the phones of concert goers, combined with a now missing key witness, combined with ZERO video surveillance footage of Paddock in the hotel, add up to that “something” been dealt with.

There was something — repeated Islamic State claims that he was representing them.

The aircraft voice recorders picked up the hijackers screaming “Allahu Akbar” just before the airplanes struck their targets. Their direct connection to Al Qaeda has been documented. See: http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/ten-years-ago-today-countdown-911/story?id=14191671#

Umm That is not so. The tracking of the activities and the movements of the 9/11 criminals confirms that they were jihadists. Some of us have been watching islam all of their lives and I myself was waiting for something like this as I knew that it was coming . Just as the dirty or clean nuke/chemical attack/biological attack on the west is coming.

The confusion and mistrust that the f b i have built for themselves, is a sign of weakness, indecisiveness and outright incompetence. This is getting played by isis now, the damage is done.

Yep, they “dismissed the [ISIS] motive out of hand.” Nobody challenges them on this. Did they even look into it? I am sickened by the thought that they might be avoiding the jihadist connection.

Pay no mind to the ululating jihadi at 3:36 (14 seconds before the slaughter begins):

What this reveals is that two different weapons were firing at the same time.

From the first cellphone video from the lady cab driver, my brain keeps thinking there is more than one shooter, that they might not be all that close together, and (from the sound of her video, maybe not this one) that there is a weapon that has a lower pitch, (i.e. larger calibre and/or longer barrel) lower rate of fire, but steadier, more constant rate of fire, than the weapon or weapons we hear predominantly.

Backers of the official narrative say the other sounds are an echo of the weapon the one shooter is using at the time. And clearly we may be hearing echoes of fire from the sides of large buildings. But some of it doesn’t sound like an echo.

So the high-pitched, fast but uneven sound we hear predominantly on these recordings could be the bump stock AR15 we are told about. But my ear tells me there is something else they aren’t telling us about that is heavier, more military, and might still be out there. AK47? BAR?

Plus the bolt-action rifle, or other non-repeating weapon that produced the first scattered shots, or course. I listened for it to continue after the repeating fire, but haven’t heard that so far. So one shooter might have got a few rounds off (at the airport fuel tanks?) with a heavier, longer range bolt-action before picking up a bump stock AR to shoot up the crowd?

After several tries, I do hear what you’re talking about at 3:36.

I think it’s possible you have identified it correctly. But to me, in the context of a Country Music festival, it might be a “yip yip yip kiyee” by a music enthusiast instead, that by coincidence occurs near the beginning of the shooting.

I think that is why I had such a hard time hearing it. My brain kept filtering it out as Country fan noise when I was listening for Allahu Akbar. I had to finally keep clicking to keep the control bar visible during playback, so that I could see the time display and know exactly when it was 3:36.

If it were a performance of Wagnerian opera at Lincoln Center that got shot up instead, you would have the jihadi dead to rights with that recording. But American Country lovers tend to be a noisy lot, so I can’t be sure.

Terrorism by definition is use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. In order for an act to be terrorism people have to be informed as to the motive – the political aims of the attacker. For example, jihads often make a “martyrs video”. If they are doing it for ISIS, at least they will have an ISIS flag with them. An act of terror is pointless if the political aims are not signaled. Then it is only an expression of hatred and not terrorism, and that is all we have here with Steven Paddock as far as we know.

However, I believe the FBI knows much more than they have so far let on. For example, they have not revealed the content of Paddocks computer or phone, which should be a dead giveaway as to his motive if it was political or religious.

What a tragedy that ISIS has more credibility than American media. The reason I believe ISIS is because we have nearly no details of Paddock’s life or his girlfriend. There was no followup on his religion, none on his associates or who he may have been seen with, nothing. The media blackout on Paddock tells me that he likely was an Islamic convert, a rabid supporter of Antifa, and a Democrat.

Islamists are doctors, therapists, lawyers, police officers, mayors, city councilmen, judges, on the board of Human Rights Commissions, school teachers, school superintendents, they’re on almost every board that decides strategy or SOP for almost everything, owners of almost every business you can imagine, they own many many 501c3 groups which receive taxpayer funding to advance Islam in the U.S. They are Senators and Congressmen. They rule your life and you don’t even know it. Ever wonder why our government works to destroy our country and has such deep hatred and hostility for the average citizen and our constitution?

I seriously doubt Paddock was the shooter, or an ISIS follower. Why would he need 23 rifles in his room? Wouldn’t you be able to sustain more firepower by have 2-3 rifles at each window with a stack of magazines so you could quickly reload? In photos of his room there were no shell casings, yet hundreds of rounds were supposedly fired from his room.

Scientist does sound analysis to prove there were 2 shooters.

The FBI, CIA, DEA, and other investigative branches of the government are “deep state” and can’t be trusted. Trump needs to assign an independent agency of trusted patriots to do a separate investigation on these types of attacks. I think that President Trump is being feed a bunch of BS by McMasters and other in his administration. There was too much planning into this attack to say that it was a lone shooter. The American public is a little smarter then they give credit, and want answers!

ALL witnesses and evidence show multiple shooters. At first Sheriff Lombardo said he couldn’t believe Paddock planned this alone, then the FBI got to him. If ISIS did this, they are lying as much as anyone as to the conspirators. But just now, ISIS got busted planning a 3-shooter attack in NYC. http://www.nbcnewyork.com/investigations/Terror-Plot-New-York-Concert-Landmark-ISIS-Las-Vegas-Arrest-Times-Square-449749293.html
