What???<\/strong><\/h1>\n

by Jon Rappoport<\/p>\n

October 13, 2017<\/p>\n

Paul Watson at infowars has\u00a0the story<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cWorkers at the Route 91 festival during which Stephen Paddock unleashed his massacre have reportedly been given back their phones and laptops by the FBI only to discover that all messages and videos from the night of the attack have been wiped clean.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to a Las Vegas resident who posted a status update on Facebook, \u2018A bunch of people that worked the Route 91 [concert] said they got their cell phones back today. They all said that all their phones are completely wiped clean! All messages and info from that weekend are completely gone. Anyone else experience this\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019A few different people who were vendors there are all saying the same thing,\u2019 the woman later comments.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLater in the thread, a Route 91 worker confirms the story, commenting, \u2018Of course. It\u2019s an active federal crime scene. They can wipe it clean. I was the beverage manager for the entire event. My laptop is wiped clean\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

What?<\/p>\n

First of all,\u00a0in a recent article<\/a>, I demonstrated in detail why you can never trust what the FBI says about evidence in any investigation. There is a notorious history of the Bureau cooking and slanting and inventing data to support prosecutions.<\/p>\n

Second, who says the FBI can take people\u2019s phones and laptops, watch and copy the video footage, and then wipe it all away before returning the devices to their owners?<\/p>\n

The FBI literally owns the crime scene AND any record of what happened at that scene? Baloney.<\/p>\n

The obvious reason for wiping out the footage: it contained evidence that contradicts the official scenario. And most likely, that evidence revealed multiple shooters.<\/p>\n

As Vegas cops, the FBI, and the owners of the Mandalay Hotel have changed and massaged the official narrative, one assertion has remained constant: there was only one shooter, and he was Stephen Paddock.<\/p>\n

Law-enforcement pounced on that claim early on, without the slightest justification. Without interviewing multiple witnesses who state they saw other shooters.<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay, the mass shooting happened yesterday and we know there was only one shooter. That\u2019s it. Don\u2019t ask us any questions about this. Anyone who disagrees with us is spreading rumors and impeding the investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Admitting multiple shooters is admitting there was cooperation, collusion, conspiracy, a plan, and a purpose for that plan beyond \u201cthe lone gunman was crazy.\u201d This is the door law-enforcement keeps slamming shut every time it opens.<\/p>\n

And now we have reports that the FBI has wiped witnesses\u2019 phones and laptops. No more footage of the shooting. No more evidence.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be clear: the FBI is impeding the investigation.<\/p>\n

There is no Constitutional rule that states private citizens can\u2019t investigate crimes. There never was. There never will be.<\/p>\n

Law enforcement doesn\u2019t OWN investigations.<\/p>\n

If they did, every time a journalist probes beneath the surface of a crime and uncovers important information, the FBI could say, \u201cWell, we just opened an investigation of that very crime, and therefore we want all your notes and we want you to cease and desist your inquiry. Shut up and go cover Sunday picnics.\u201d<\/p>\n

In most cases, law-enforcement\u00a0doesn\u2019t have to worry<\/a>\u00a0about mainstream reporters. Those denizens simply take dictation from local cops and federal cops and their stories appear in papers and TV news broadcasts wiped clean of independent thought.<\/p>\n

That leaves the truth a wide open field.<\/p>\n

Private citizens and non-mainstream journalists own that field, not through edict, but through default. Don\u2019t blame us. If you were doing your jobs, we wouldn\u2019t have to do them for you.<\/p>\n

Your first rule would be: stop lying.<\/p>\n

Destruction of evidence is a felony. Those concert workers whose phones and laptops were wiped clean had a felony committed against them. By agents of government who have sworn to uphold and protect the Constitution.<\/p>\n

Thousands of smart lawyers out there will say, \u201cCome on, there\u2019s no way you could make a charge like that stick.\u201d Well, maybe there would be a way, if enough of you decided there has been enough destruction of the Constitution and it\u2019s time to stand up and be counted, come hell or high water.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, whoever can look past the lies and fabrications and distortions of a criminal investigation can say something because they saw something.<\/p>\n

Here is a quick excerpt from my recent piece about the FBI\u2019s stance on crime probes. It should give you a clue about the Bureau\u2019s attitude and reputation:<\/p>\n

April 20, 2015, The Atlantic: \u201c\u2026the Washington Post made clear Saturday in an article that begins with a punch to the gut\u2026 \u2018Nearly 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,\u2019 the newspaper reported, adding that \u2018the cases include those of 32 defendants sentenced to death\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the Vegas shooting case, the FBI is saying: Trust us. We\u2019re the pros. We do investigations the right way. Now give us your cell phone so we can look at video footage of the shooting and make a copy and wipe your phone clean and give it back to you.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, be happy. All is well. The centurions are on duty.<\/p>\n
