Why you shouldn’t believe anything the FBI says about the Vegas shooting

Why you shouldn’t believe anything the FBI says about Vegas shooting

by Jon Rappoport

October 9, 2017

No matter how the Vegas shooting investigation looks, the FBI is playing a large role. The forensics, in particular, would be checked by FBI techs and labs.

Vital lab analysis of weapons and ammunition and bullet-angles and cartridges and residue. Weapons Paddock had or didn’t have. Ammunition he had or didn’t have. Modifications he made or didn’t make to those weapons. How many different kinds of bullets were found in victims? What weapons did those bullets come from?

And depending on that evidence—were there multiple shooters, for example?

Should you believe the FBI’s analyses?

Are you kidding? The scurrilous reputation of the FBI in its handling of forensics is astonishing. Read on. Note: I’m saving the best for last:

In 2014-15, stories appeared in the press about the phenomenal corruption of the FBI evidence lab. But since then, there has been very little follow-up. I find no compelling evidence that the federal government has fixed the problem.

April 20, 2015, The Atlantic: “…the Washington Post made clear Saturday in an article that begins with a punch to the gut… ‘Nearly every examiner in an elite FBI forensic unit gave flawed testimony in almost all trials in which they offered evidence against criminal defendants over more than a two-decade period before 2000,’ the newspaper reported, adding that ‘the cases include those of 32 defendants sentenced to death’.”

August 12, 2014, New Scientist: “…the initial results were released of an ongoing review of thousands of criminal cases in which FBI scientists’ testimony may have led to wrongful convictions – including for some people now on death row…[an FBI source states] ’we teach these people [lab techs in training] for two weeks, and they would go back to their laboratories with a certificate of completion and be told: Great you’re qualified to do this [analysis of evidence] – here’s your caseload.’”

Washington Post, April 18, 2015: “The Justice Department and FBI have formally acknowledged that nearly every examiner in an elite FBI forensic unit gave flawed testimony in almost all trials in which they offered evidence against criminal defendants over more than a two-decade period before 2000.”

“Of 28 examiners with the FBI Laboratory’s microscopic hair comparison unit, 26 overstated forensic matches in ways that favored prosecutors in more than 95 percent of the 268 trials reviewed so far, according to the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) and the Innocence Project, which are assisting the government with the country’s largest post-conviction review of questioned forensic evidence.”

“The cases include those of 32 defendants sentenced to death. Of those, 14 have been executed or died in prison, the groups said under an agreement with the government to release results after the review of the first 200 convictions.”

Giant long-term scandal and corruption. The story is covered. Then it disappears.

Now here’s the capper:

On April 19, 1995, one-third of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City blew up, killing 169 people and wounding 680 others.

Three men were arrested and convicted: Tim McVeigh, Terry Nichols, and Michael Fortier. McVeigh was put to death on June 11, 2001, Nichols is currently serving multiple life sentences without the possibility of parole, and Fortier was sentenced to 12 years (he served that term and was released).

The official narrative of the bombing stated: A Ryder truck parked at the curb outside the Murrah Building contained barrels of ammonium nitrate plus fuel oil (ANFO bombs), and their coordinated explosion occurred shortly after 9AM on the morning of April 19th.

In addition to the deaths and the woundings, the explosion impacted 324 buildings and 86 cars in the area.

(In my 1995, book, “The Oklahoma City Bombing, the Suppressed Truth,” I laid to rest the claim that ANFO bombs could have caused that much damage; and more importantly, I showed that an explosion coming out of a Ryder truck at the curb could not have caused the particular profile of damage sustained by the Murrah Building.)

The vaunted FBI lab decided that, indeed, all the damage and death HAD been caused by ANFO bombs in the Ryder truck.

But wait.

Buckle up.

Two years after the bombing, on March 22, 1997, we had this from CNN: “The Justice Department inspector general’s office has determined that the FBI crime laboratory working on the Oklahoma City bombing case made ‘scientifically unsound’ conclusions that were ‘biased in favor of the prosecution,’ The Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.”

“…[FBI] supervisors approved lab reports that they ‘cannot support’ and…FBI lab officials may have erred about the size of the blast, the amount of explosives involved and the type of explosives used in the bombing[!].”

“…harshest criticism was of David Williams, a supervisory agent in the [FBI] explosives unit, the paper [LA Times] said. Those flaws reportedly include the basis of his determination that the main charge of the explosion was ammonium nitrate. The inspector general called such a determination ‘inappropriate,’ the Times said.”

“…FBI officials found a receipt for ammonium nitrate at defendant [Terry] Nichols’ home and, because of that discovery, Williams slanted his conclusion to match the evidence.”

And with those revelations, the case, the investigation, the court trials, and press probes should have taken a whole new direction. But they didn’t.

The fake science was allowed to stand.

So now…there is no reason to believe anything the FBI says about Paddock, his weapons, his ammo, his modifications, the degree of his participation (or non-participation) in the shooting, the trajectories of bullets, the types of bullets found in victims, the nature of the expended shell casings, and other VITAL forensic details in the case.

    Interweb tubes say Lee Harvey Paddock was a Fast and Furious gun runner who knew too much.
    Look for the usual slander such as tinfoil hat, Alex Jones zone, non-conformist contrarian and others from good comrades who have normalcy bias. How refreshing it is to not fear any truth.
    As for the bestest law enforcement agency money can buy, the FBI, they lost all credibility long before esteemed party member comrade kommissar James Comey.
    Actually they exist to protect and serve the vital corporate interest under the guise of national security.

    • martin walker says:

      Over and over again, the F.B.I. writes the script, they cast idiots to play the parts, and then bust their own terror plot with a big show in the press. Even the New York Times can’t remember any recent terror plot ‘busts’ that DIDN’T involve the F.B.I. actually having to provide the entire scenario, including the fake bombs. They do this to keep the American public convinced that if we don’t give up our rights, if we don’t accept government transgressions and tyranny, then we will all be at the mercy of terrorists. Exactly like the Mafia protection racket with a better publicist…

    Go to youtube.com.

    In the search box at the top of the page, enter “Geoengineering Watch Global Alert News, October 7, 2017 ( Dane Wigington GeoengineeringWatch.org )”

    Start listening at approximately the 3:35 minute mark. According to Dane Wigington, all hotel windows in Las Vegas are equipped with sensors. If a window breaks the differential in air pressure alerts hotel security, who will then IMMEDIATELY PAY A VISIT TO THE ROOM IN QUESTION ….this is Standard Operating Procedure according to Wigington.

    Apparently, rapid response to window anomalies, is a liability concern in high-risk hotels…..hence the electronic sensors.

    Where was Mandalay security …and why did it take police 72 MINUTES to enter the room?

    The several issues surrounding the window glass by themselves would seem to give the lie to the Official Narrative.

    (By the way please familiarize yourself with the eye-opening www. geoengineeringwatch.org)

    • Larry Holmgren says:

      A heroic security guard was there after about 10 minutes. 10 minutes. He got shot through the door to Paddock’s room. More people arrived and escorted other guests on that floor out. An hour later, they blasted the door and entered the room. 62 minutes later.

      • Terry Rawnsley says:

        Why did they have to blow the door if about 200 rounds had been fired from the inside? It must have looked like a piece of Swiss cheese that could have been kicked in or a flashbang chucked through a hole? And, now we read that the Security guard was shot before the massacre started! Time for someone to take charge, investigate and then report the correct sequence of events. But wait, same modus operandi as 9/11, coverup, suppress, ignore evidence, don’t question anything.The bigger the lie the easier it is to hoodwink the public. Mainstream Media is just perpetually hoodwinked.

      • turns out the security guard was shot before he commenced shooting on the crowd. so his breaking the window is probably why he went up there.

    The fake science was allowed to stand. (Jon)
    ————————————————————

    Fake science is in every field now: Global Warming, Vaccines, Medication drugs, GMO, chemtrails, school education, etc.

    If you combine this with the MSN, nothing is real anymore.

    Must drain the Swamp or the Sewer, whatever!

    When? NOW!

    What, I wonder, might I, Jane Q. Warrior Citizen, do? Yes, what I’ve been doing for 18 years plus, keep trying to wake people up. Right. That. (heavy sigh)

  6. paschnn1 says:

    the FBI is nothing more than an amalgam of political whores and have been nothing more than that for decades. The cross-dressing deviant, Hoover began keeping dossiers on people virtually from the get go.

    Two examples of their treachery off the top of my head;

    Peter Limone et al

    http://www.truthinjustice.org/limone-apology.htm

    And the laughable inability, (cowardice?), to “get their man”, Roman Polanski, convicted rapist/sodomizer/pedophile who fled his bail, was convicted in absentia and has led the “good life” hiding in the open for over 40 years.

    Seems Polanski, yet another “genius” are fortunate enough to be well connected.

    Very interesting video, Theodore.

  9. middleway says:

    After 9/11 Karl Rove was purported to have said to reporter Ron Suskind, Guys like you are ‘in what we call the reality-based community,’ which he defined as people who ‘believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.’ […] ‘That’s not the way the world really works anymore,’ he continued. ‘We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do’.

  10. D3F1ANT says:

    I didn’t know that stuff about the FBI labs. It figures. I’m 45 and my midlife crisis seems to have come to me in the form of a dawning realization that the government is not to be trusted even AT ALL! “Honest” Jim Comey was the catalyst for this change in my outlook. After Runwaygate, and the whole Hillary debacle, I wouldn’t trust the FBI if they told me the sky is blue.

  11. PJ London says:

    ‘FBI lab officials may have erred about the size of the blast, the amount of explosives involved and the type of explosives used in the bombing’ : but other than that, the FBI was entirely accurate.
    When I saw the first pictures of OKC I knew that ANFO story was BS. Anyone would know that.
    Two planes knock down 3 buildings?
    There were reports of LV victims with their head blown off!
    With a 5.56 or 7.62 at 300 – 400 yards? Get real.

    Why aren’t there pitchforks and ropes being deployed?

  12. The One says:

    Welcome to this brave new world. We now live in the age of deception where everything we are taught from cradle to grave is a lie. Our masters are unseen, but their influence is there just there under the surface. We are controlled by these lies and the perpetuation of it enslaves all mankind. It is a slavery of the mind and would seem for most people to be quite inescapable. If you try and bring it to their attention, they will reply with disbelief and you will be mocked. Any questioning of the official narrative is met by the mocking term “conspiracy theorist” or “nut-job”. All evidence presented is scorned and belittled as “nonsense” and made up or thoroughly debunked by so called experts in the field of lies. This web of lies has become reality for the masses of human sheep that are farmed like livestock for the Power Elite’s amusement and profit. The “breads and circuses” of the old empire are now fully refined to a high art.
    Imagine that an iron boot will now smash down upon the face of humanity forever? We were warned that this would happen. Now we will reap what has been sewn…

    diversion and cover up
    .

    Clinton sold uranium to Russia acquired from Oregon land grabs

    years before a stand off.
    without owning it…retired Nevada senator Richard Bryan and Harry Reid sold Bundy’s ranch to
    the Chinese solar clients of Richard Bryan’s Lionel sawyer Collins law
    firm. but Reid and Bryan (BLM GOONS) could not deliver the bundy
    land to the Chinese who bought bundy’s land from bryan’s law firm for $3.4 million .

    so Bryan filed bankruptcy & dissolved Lionel Sawyer Collins to hide
    the land sale scam from the American people so Reid and Bryan had to
    have Obama appoint a hand picked & groomed corrupt
    judge Gloria Navarro and use new harry reid replacement – NV senator
    Catherine Cortez Masto corrupt judges are taxpayer funded govt. employee
    labor union members
    …………………………..
    corruption
    – done with help of harry reid senate replacement Catherine cortez masto
    Masto … is the taxpayer funded corrupt useful idiot with husband-inside the FBI to cover up the land grab..

    Lights, cameras, fiction, the hidden hands favoured predilection, the charade on parade, none died, crisis actors well-supplied, no more than a few hundred at the staged non-event, moulage in-charge and fake blood on the undead, duping delight easily read, ’tis why Screwtube is closing channels and hiding the annals that expose the jiggery-pokery, the standard fare rigged reality inanity, yet so many still “free fallin” for hoax deaths and hoax events, the lame-stream media fear factor psyops ushering in the surveillance nation, not-so-Smart Cities and micro-chipped trancehuman creations, whilst endless analysis leads to brain dead paralysis, ’tis all a joke, folk, so best not the fake fires stoke.

  15. daveswarbirds says:

    The FBI has no intention of actually investigating the event (checking ballistics, reports of other shooters, etc.). A medical person in one of the emergency rooms reported that they saw multiple victims come in from the shooting and that against standard practice FBI agents confiscated any bullets or fragments removed from the victims, without documenting anything related to said bullets. Normally all pieces would be fully documented in terms of where the bullet was found, where the victim was located when shot, victim’s name and other data, etc. And yet nothing was recorded, they just threw all of the removed metal into bags with an obvious lack of effort to record any information that could be used in a future analysis. You can bet that those bullets and fragments will “disappear” just like the many security cam videos around the Pentagon on 9/11. We’ll never know if ballistics can match any of the bullets to guns found in Paddocks room, or if calibers were used that Paddock didn’t even have…

    • Theodore says:

      wow. if you could provide us a link to that story, that would be great.

      • daveswarbirds says:

        I’m trying to relocate it myself. I’ve read dozens of articles regarding this event on different computers, and trying to back track and revisit one in particular has been both time consuming and frustrating – especially when the quote came from someone responding in the comment section of an article, rather than in the article itself.
