Here are a couple of videos for you to compare. The first comes from the BBC. It offers the actual audio record of the moment the Vegas cops burst into Paddock's room at Mandalay Bay. There is no mystery as to how the BBC acquired this audio: There's a website which offers police scanner feed in real time.
Now here's Little Alex, discussing the same event. In his version, Paddock was not found dead: He tried to shoot it out with the cops and was killed by return fire.
AJ also says that the room was filled with Antifa literature.
First: Antifa creates literature? In the computer age, who prints literature?
Second: Why on earth would the shooter spread such literature all over the nest?
Third: If Paddock were associated with Antifa, why would he keep that fact a secret from his family and girlfriend? Why would there be no online history indicating this association?
Fourth: An apolitical 64 year-old affluent white gun nut living in freakin' Mesquite, Nevada -- a former accountant for Lockheed, no less -- is a very unlikely Antifa recruit.
Fifth: What, exactly, would be the motive of the cops to cover up that kind of evidence? Does AJ really believe that the cops are complicit in this mass shooting? That they created a fake audio record of the entry into Paddock's room? Are we to believe that Conspiracy Central could somehow cajole all of those cops to go along with this plot and to keep silent about what really happened?
Sixth: AJ's beloved God Emperor Trump says news should not be believed unless and until the reporter names his or her sources. If that's the standard, Alex, cough up a name.
Seventh: Why on earth would Antifa want someone to open fire on a concert? What could they possibly gain from that action? I've been critical of Antifa myself in previous posts, but there's a difference between criticism and making up paranoid horseshit.
I admit that I could stomach only the first minute or two of AJ's Cray-Cray Extravaganza. If your tummy is made of stronger stuff, please give the rest of the broadcast a listen and summarize for the rest of the class, if you would be so kind. I've got a bottle of Pepto waiting, just in case your innards decide to reject last night's supper.
And please understand: I'm not saying that all conspiracy theorists are bad. Hell, some people have applied that label to yours truly. I'm simply saying the 98 percent of the conspiracy theorists give the rest of us a bad name.

Fuck Alex Jones. Just totally and completely.
In countries where people can afford insurance, the insurance sector usually promotes itself hard in news coverage after disasters. In the case of the massacre in Las Vegas, the gambling sector is doing the same. Says the Independent:
"(Stephen Paddock) owned homes in four states but preferred staying in casino hotels, sometimes for weeks at a time, as he worked the gambling machines."
Well anyone who does that is going to be losing a lot of money, fast. If you play gambling machines a lot, you will always lose. But you don't get that impression from the article.
His brother's response seems to me peculiar:
"There's absolutely no sense, no reason he did this (...) He's just a guy who played video poker and took cruises and ate burritos at Taco Bell. There's no political affiliation that we know of. There's no religious affiliation that we know of.” (emphasis added).
Why is he playing armchair cop? "No political affiliation that we know of". That's a strange way to speak about a member of your own family. And the two brothers were business partners until recently. It's not as if they hadn't seen each other for 40 years.
Eric continued:
"As a retiree, he had no children and plenty of money to play with. So he took up gambling. It's like a job for him. It's a job where you make money."
Well, no it's fucking not. Not unless you have a relationship with the casino owners, such as in attracting new customers or otherwise helping to increase sales.
Gambling against gambling machines is a mug's game.
If he was making money out of "gambling", then he may well have been doing a "job", but the job wouldn't have been "gambling".
Eric "recalled one time when the entire family took over the top floor of the Atlantis at the casino's expense".
WTF?
"His brother was very particular about the games he played. 'It had to be the right machine with double points, and there has to be a contest going on. He won a car one time,' Eric Paddock said. 'He's known. He's a top player. He's the small end of the big fish.'"
There is a big dose of bullshit here. You can't win against the machines by being a "top player".
What was this guy's connection with organised crime?
Something doesn't add up about Paddock. He has all this money around to gamble, but he has a sketchy employment history and Lockheed won't even say which division he worked in. He's a licensed pilot and reportedly owns/owned two small planes. I smell a drug trafficker and CIA asset who lost it, although that's total conjecture, and I only feel comfortable spouting off like this 'cause the guy doesn't exactly have a good name to tarnish.
Guys, if there's a conspiracy here, it sure as hell isn't Alex Jones' conspiracy. That's all I'm saying in this post.
I admit that something about Paddock doesn't add up. If he was a compulsive gambler, he may have gotten hooked in with some very dangerous people. Perhaps he was in a bad situation. Perhaps he had no way out. Perhaps he felt that if he was going to go, he might as well take others with him.
It is true that Lockheed has deep and longstanding links to the covert world. But I'll need a lot more data before I incorporate that fact into an actual theory.
One of the early reports was that the shooting went on for an hour, or longer, with time in between shooting to reload or get another gun. If this is true, why did it take an hour before any kind of response manifested? There was no way return fire could have thwarted this guy without having to break into the room?
Vegas has all kinds of security teams all over everything, there was no contingency plan to return fire if something like this happened? Of course now that it has happened, some type of new policy will be put in place so that marksmen can set up at another hotel to shoot back at a window that has been blown out so that assault rifles can be fired through the opening. I am pretty sure the attorneys for the dead and the injured will be asking the same questions in court.
At least this will put to rest the meme that if people were armed they could have stopped him. The insanity of civilians going in a store and buy a machine gun with the same ease as buying tomatoes is just beyond belief. And people still wonder why all axis of evil aligned to defeat Hillary.
Without a hint of a motive, and based on what is known about him, one can't help but speculate. I listened to the police recording and watched the stupid Alex Jones video. The former didn't dissuade me from the whisper of a Manchurian Candidate thought. If so, why now? As far as we know, the only (flimsy) tie to the military was his former employment with Lockheed. Of course, common sense says Occam's razor. It was probably crushing debt followed my homicide and suicide. I ask myself, why is that so hard to accept?
Allesandro, what I think I've heard is that the firing took place over a 10 minute period. If that is correct, even crack sniper team preparation could have probably gotten shooters there no sooner than that time (unless pre-positioned, because of the very large crowd in the open).
What I've just seen are two different videos taken at the time that seem to show rapid muzzle flashes from a different, much lower and more central location than the two broken out windows. I would rule out that it is a reflection, by the geometry of that flat hotel face.
Curious new data, if it turns out to be legit.
