Vegas Shooting (10/1/17)
Stephen Paddock supposedly expends 3000 rounds of ammunition over the course of ten minutes at the Route 91 festival at Mandalay Bay/Luxor MGM complex.
This was the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history.
Paddock allegedly used AR-15s with bump stock attachments, converting a semiautomatic into a rifle with a comparable rate of fire to a traditional automatic.
However, as many have noted, the rate of fire seen in footage of the incident does not match the rate of fire consistent with an AR-15 with bumpstock attachment.
FBI claimed that Paddock was using 30 round magazines, but there was a constant stream of fire.
The rate and pattern of fire is more consistent with a traditional automatic, with many believing the weapon used was a belt fed M240-LMG.
61 casualties at Route 91 Festival (91/61, 9 and 6 are mirrored numbers, “as above, so below”.)
The site of the shooting is known to be a supernatural vortex of sorts, with the Luxor being considered one of the most haunted locations in all of Vegas and Mandalay being connected to the Luxor and the festival grounds.
This attack may have been conducted in order to garner favor for closing the “bumpstock loophole”, which would enable American citizens to own rifles and other modular gun platforms with the same or similar rate of fire as an automatic rifle (classified as a “machine gun” under federal law).
This could have also been a human sacrifice ritual, as the site of the shooting is known to be imbued with negative spiritual energy due to the architects of the Luxor building only one Sphinx as opposed to two, which is theorized to be the source of the haunting and string of bad luck workers were met with while constructing the glass pyramid.
There may have been multiple motives, none of which we’ll know for sure but can at least theorize.
Released to the media last year, a letter written by a former associate of Paddock’s claimed that he spoke of a 15 year career at CIA, in addition to being a high roller or whale, frequenting MGM casinos.
This case remains “unsolved” by the FBI, and MGM acted incredibly suspiciously following the attacks.
How this ties into Death Grips is through verses featured on 2015’s the Powers That B as well as the Steroids EP.
“I’m lighting up like Vegas, all 7s, king of pentacles. I’m chaining like it’s money, dirty money, surgeon’s general. Pah pow, pah pow.” (TPTB, “Turned Off”, 2015) and “I faced the crowd in Vegas there, ever fake but isn’t where, shit ain’t raw they can’t compare, check AWOL bitch I’m always there.” (Steroids, 5/22/17, 4 months prior to 10/1/17)
The band also seemed to have known about Trump’s involvement in these events as well.
“Art of indifference, Trump consequences. Trust me, you can’t trust me try. Trust me, you’ll see why. When I see you through the ringer, my ringer catch deuce deuce (22), deuce deuce (22) divided seven times (22/7 = 3.143), will lead you where I’m at”
There were potentially 4 shooters, or two shooters in the buildings as well as two M240s attached to hardpoints aboard the two helicopters seen in the area by survivors in addition to on video.
These helicopters are said to have turned off their transponders as well.
“Sixty shots a second on that hexed clock, I strike between them everytime your solar plex drops” (M240 LMG at Gas Setting 3 has a rate of fire of 14.999 shots a second, 60/15 = 4)
Turned Off, from the Jenny Death EP, released March 3rd, 2015. This was three months prior to Trump’s campaign announcement on June 16th, 2015. 6/16/15, 616 is considered the original number of the beast in earlier Greek New Testament manuscripts.

If you are expecting a book that really delves into the mind and psychology of Stephen Paddock then you will be disappointed. There is very little examination of his mind and psychology and what there is is very superficial. This book is ok as a starter but does nothing more than scratch the surface.

No psychology, nothing on the mind of paddock. Poorly researched with many details being inaccurate or lacking names / sources for much of the content.
