The Lone Gunmen

One of the victims of the Las Vegas shooting has blown the whistle to reveal that he was shot by multiple gunmen during the massacre. [More]

Sounds like news, doesn't it?  So why is The New York Newsday registered in Macedonia and why does it contain this disclaimer in the footer?

I've been getting all kinds of "conspiracy theories" sent to me on this, including, yes, the one about gun-running for ISIS at the behest of the FBI, and while I agree the official story is being manipulated for reasons yet unknown, I'm not going to embrace alternate "explanations" without proof.

The reason for that is not because I trust "official sources," but because I don't. One powerful way to discredit alternate explanations is to sow seeds of disinformation that can be easily discredited, and to then conflate all such alternative explanations with the tin foil hatters.

The best I can do from this end, since I have no unique sources, is to offer the same process as in Fast and Furious. First I vet any would-be whistleblower, and if enough is there to proceed offer my "I'll go to jail before giving you up" protection, and then scream my head off for political guarantees and a trustworthy louder media voice.

A Tale of Two Gun Groups

Chris Cox and Wayne LaPierre agree with the gun-grabbers:

"Despite the fact that the Obama administration approved the sale of bump fire stocks on at least two occasions, the National Rifle Association is calling on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) to immediately review whether these devices comply with federal law.  The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."

They just gave the green light for Republican betrayal.

Meanwhile, GOA takes a more principled stand:

"Gun Owners of America opposes a ban on bump stocks. Bump stocks were approved by the ATF during the Obama administration to help gun owners with disabilities fire their weapons.  Any type of ban will be ignored by criminals and only serve to disarm honest citizens.  Perhaps that’s why 91 percent of police believe a so-called “assault weapons” ban will have no effect or a negative effect on crime.  And given that 95 percent of cops think that a ban on large capacity magazines would be ineffective in reducing violent crime, it’s hard to imagine they would regard bump stocks any differently.

Keep America Great?

[Click to enlarge]

Still, who are these guys?  Did I just dismiss a potential ally out of hand? Let's find out together.

The Blogger profile they used was just created and tells us nothing. I checked out the website itself, and it's for a PAC that is heavy on NRA/Republican rah-rah imagery. You're invited to "Show your dedication!" to imagery of soldiers, Reagan, the flag... I can almost hear Lee Greenwood singing in the background.

Funny thing: They want to gather our information and solicit our donations, but totally avoid specifics about how they're going to accomplish their nebulous goals and how (or for whom) they're going to use the money they're asking for.

Another funny thing: For being "Keep America Great," you'd think they wouldn't have their website registered through a Canadian proxy that hides who they actually are. Plus they don't give a physical address-- if you want to "Join the Network" or "Make a Donation," you have to fill out their forms, not knowing who is on the other end or where they are in meatspace. They provide no references who have established trust. They don't even have Facebook or Twitter icons so we can see the type of stuff they think important to share.

And funny thing about the PAC: Look up the name given on the website, the KEEP AMERICA GREAT US COMMITTEE on Google and it results in an FEC hit for KEEP AMERICA GREAT PAC.  Otherwise, as you can see for yourself, there are "No results."

IF the Keep America Great PAC is the one we're looking for, we find more funny things, and by that I mean peculiar funny, not "ha-ha" funny.  Start with "No financial data." Then go to "About the Committee."

Nate Lerner? Executive Director of Democratic Coalition, creator of the Boycott Trump app and FireHannity.org? Operating out of an apartment in Hoboken? The same folks sued by a surgeon because he claimed they called him a terrorist for donating to Donald Trump's campaign?

And if it's not the PAC we're looking for, our friends with the Canadian proxy doing the registration no American will do deserve special recognition for making themselves indistinguishable from their "progressive" antithesis, especially when the basic "research" on this took me all of 10 minutes, and I'd never heard of either entity before.

So go ahead and "support the cause" if you want to.  If you find out for sure what exactly that cause is, do get back to me.

In the mean time, I'm suddenly in the mood for some classic Badfinger...

Speculation on My Part

What with the leaks we're starting to see 'n all, doesn't it make sense that if the Vegas shooter had been a "right wing" Trump supporter it would have been headline news yesterday?

Think this hasn't been done already?

What have investigators learned of motive from the reported video, and is that not information that should have been, if not released in its entirety, at least summarized? What (whose) purposes would it serve not to?

Who believes they have discovered his gambling debts but not his opinions?

Mandalay Guns?

I'm told these are leaked photos. Note I have not validated that claim, so offer them with that caution:

"15 100-rd Surefire mags"

I've got nothing to add except to note there is more discussion at what I was just told is the source.
