The mysteries surrounding the Mandalay Bay Attack have continued to deepen even as officials conducting the investigation have now shut down regular reports on the investigation. 

As the timeline, as well as other former facts, were forced to be altered due to inconsistencies in the given storyline, even more mysteries have opened up, forcing the regular updates by officials to cease simply due to the sheer magnitude of the errors which have been accumulating on what could only be considered as an alarming basis.

How could the thousands of officials apparently conducting what should have been a cut and dried investigation now be this far off from the official narrative being initially offered to the public, when in fact, it was a vast array of citizen journalists who continued to point out problems with, not only the official timeline but also hundreds of video recordings taken during the course of the massacre?

Now, new information has come to light detailing how a US government agency actually planned to conduct false flag attacks on US Citizens in Miami and then blame the Communist government of Cuba, as a pretext to inflame US civilian sentiment towards taking military action against the Communist island nation.

The plan was called Operation Mongoose and it detailed how US covert operatives could develop plans for a terror attack campaign in not only areas surrounding Miami but also civilians in Washington DC.

The operation would have also included directed attacks against Cuban refugees including the possible sinking of a boatload of either actual Cubans or possibly US actors pretending to be Cuban refugees. 

The plan also detailed the "explosion of plastic bombs in carefully chosen spots,"  ostensibly in order to inflame as many Americans as possible towards the Hegelian solution of a military intervention in Cuba, in order to take out the Castro government.

The document also indicated that "the release of prepared documents would be helpful in projecting the idea of an irresponsible government" which, in the irony of all ironies, perfectly exemplifies how this release of America's " Shadow Government" directed-plans, points to a deep-inside government gone completely out of control, even in 1962.

According to additional reports on the Deep State's shadowy aims, even the Pentagon itself approved of the plans: 

"The time was 1962, the same year that brought us the now infamous Operation Northwoods, which was also a plan to kill American citizens as a pretext for war with Communist Cuba. 

“On April 12th, 1962, General Lansdale forwarded to Maxwell Taylor an “advance copy” of the Joint Chiefs paper on “Pretexts” stating, I am informed that the Chiefs approve of this,” reads the document. 

Keep in mind that this is an admission that the Pentagon at the time was fully on board with killing Americans if it allowed them to wage war against Cuba."

The document further outlined attempts on the lives of Cuban refugees in the US, to include the wounding, "in instances to be widely publicized" which possibly  points to yet another deep state plan referred to as "Operation Mockingbird" in which the US government posted hordes  of agents acting as journalists throughout the media in order to control the information being reported to the American people.

It is also being reported that Oswald was not the only suspect in the plot, but in fact, the Dallas police may have also been culpable in the attack, as evidenced by the death of officer JD Tippet who may have been an actual suspect in Kennedy's killing, based on FBI informant evidence.

One can only imagine some of the other plans laid out and accepted, by the Deep State, which have, in fact, been carried out against US citizens on  American soil in order to justify extraordinary measures conducted worldwide, on the basis of a false-flag attack event having been conducted here, in America.

Many traditional Americans have grown increasingly weary of the globalist-inclined corporate-owned Trump bashers in the worldwide media, who more often than not have very little negative to say, at all, about former president Barack Obama.

Chris Wallace over at Fox News, who often tends to focus on the non-sourced "fake news" being propagated by the Washington media elite against Trump, is one such news personality.

It's not that most of us have an issue with any honest criticism of Trump, rather, it's the often insidiously smug approach that Wallace & others undertake, while back-handedly insulting both the president and his administration on what is more often than not matters of opinion (and outrageous rumors) that are being dishonestly twisted into being portrayed as solid news, by none other than Wallace and his ilk.

In fact, it's gotten so bad that a large number of political junkies no longer even bother to watch what used to be some of the most valid and even signature Sunday news shows, on cable and broadcast TV.

It's just more of the same twisted half-true pap, that we all know is simply not accurate, at least, as its being parlayed.

From "Meet The Press" to "Fox News Sunday," and at all points in between, it's become almost like watching tabloid TV rather than actual news shows, in these latter days of the conservative movement's having roared back into life, while even now increasingly calling the shots, for America.

Indeed, under President Trump, the media's fiddling-around with filing false narratives parading as news stories, have gotten far, far worse, and it has seemingly happened almost overnight.

Moreover, over the last 8 years under Obama's media-adored "American transformation," we saw nothing much more than overblown cheerleading coming from far too many of these network news shows, while now, it's like the media has suddenly rediscovered its role in investigative journalism, except, the journalism tends to run only in one direction, and that's generally against both Trump and the Conservative movement,  while ignoring the mountain of corruption that's still gathering against both the Deep State and the Obama regime.

In the video at the top of this article, recorded during the Obama regime, we've included a clip of Chris Wallace actually defending Obama against several of his own Fox colleagues, a thing that we all know would never, ever, happen were the shoe on the other foot, as it regards Wallace's unfavorable treatment of President Trump.

Which brings us to the latest incident of Wallace and his recent repeat-attack on his own news colleagues at Fox, over their insistent and deserved bashing of the fake news industry, in general, that has seemingly taken over pretty much every single network, in America.

Wallace actually told the AP the following:

“It bothers me,” Wallace said in an interview. “If they want to say they like Trump, or that they’re upset with the Democrats, that’s fine. That’s opinion. That’s what they do for a living.

“I don’t like them bashing the media, because oftentimes what they’re bashing is stuff that we on the news side are doing. I don’t think they recognize that they have a role at Fox News and we have a role at Fox News. I don’t know what’s in their head. I just think it’s bad form.” 

Well, while Wallace gives his own biased-fake-news media a break and his more popular colleagues a slam, he certainly doesn't mind bashing his own president, but also, Wallace must not be watching the same media that we are, which has now dropped to an all-time low, in both trust & favorability, due to its obvious bias towards bashing Trump and conservatism, while constantly giving the previous president and all progressives wide latitude towards breaking America down and selling the pieces off to the global elite.

 Maybe Wallace is merely growing increasingly angry that his once popular show appears to now be bringing up the Fox rear, due to his own heftily inclined bias against the Trump administration, who knows?

But, when we speak of fake news, Chris Wallace, it seems, has drifted more to the dark side, as time progresses, much like his dad, Mike Wallace; the apple appears to be rolling back towards the tree.

Here's the rest of the story from mediaite:

In an interview with the Associated Press this week, Fox News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace put his colleagues on blast over their penchant for discrediting the press. As he puts it, whenever these media attacks are uttered on the air by an opinion host or commentator, that person should realize they are also essentially slamming Fox News reporters and journalists.

 While not naming names, it is pretty apparent he is going after the blatantly pro-Trump hosts on the network like Sean Hannity, the Fox & Friends crew, Tucker Carlson, and Jesse Watters — who have led the charge on echoing the president’s fake news complaints.

This isn’t the first time Wallace has called out Fox News for bashing the press. In the wake of FBI Director James Comey’s firing, he rebutted Fox News host Pete Hegseth’s complaints about media hysteria on the bombshell, pointing out to Hegseth that it was absolutely a “big story” that needed to be covered. This came after he noted on Outnumbered that Fox’s commentators shouldn’t embrace Trump’s hostility to the media if they previously complained about President Obama criticizing Fox News.

Clear video evidence has surfaced which indicates that the Bellagio Hotel was forced into Lockdown, sequestering hundreds of guests, as a result of bullets being fired into the front of the hotel during the Mandalay Bay massacre.

However, according to Las Vegas officials and numerous media accounts, no mention has been made and even denials have been issued, concerning gunshots being fired into the Bellagio hotel during the concert massacre across from Mandalay Bay.

The question obviously becomes why the cover-up?

In the video, the woman who recorded the chaos unfolding inside the Bellagio, showed hundreds of guests, under the sequester, being forcibly detained within the hotel until the lockdown was lifted.

In order to make it clear, as to both what and when the lockdown took place, the videographer even walked around questioning several hotel officials about the fact that the Mandalay Bay shootings were taking place at the same time, in addition to cagily including the fact that the sheriff had denied reports of other gunfire taking place, outside of the Mandalay Bay incident.

In each case, various hotel officials standing guard confirmed the woman's account.

Bellagio Hotel

In order to further provide complete evidence of the sequester's actually having  taken place, the videographer then proceeded to an outside door where she was met by another hotel guard who blocked her from moving any further outside of the hotel.

In addition to this untold story, this website has also featured several other stories detailing a suddenly and dramatically altered timeline of events from officials overseeing the investigation into the shooting, which was published at the LA Times, and also a story from this website clearly evidencing rapid gunfire coming from a location in the hotel which was situated far away from where the reported shooter had allegedly staged his attack.

As can be seen from the following video analysis, the location of the Bellagio from the Mandalay Bay hotel would've made it utterly impossible for  any bullets from the massacre to have hit any part of the Bellagio, largely due to a considerable array of other, much taller, buildings between the Bellagio and the Mandalay Bay, as situated on the other side of the Las Vegas strip.

The strobe light theory has also been debunked, as a possible source of the muzzle flashes emanating from the Mandalay Bay hotel, in a location nowhere near the reported location of the hellish gunfire And the shooter's position. 

As more details surface regarding whole inconsistencies in official accounts of the shooting, many Americans are wondering at the increasingly widening gap between official accounts, and what actually may have happened during the massacre.

Delving into biblical prophecy, the end times, and other more spiritual & even unconventional questions in the news, regarding the invisible war taking place all around us, can indeed attract the slings and arrows of the cynical.

Especially when one highlights something controversial which doesn’t exactly meet the expectations of linear thinking or certainly reporting, as events unfold.

You learn to get used to it.

But, when we begin to see things like America’s largest establishment newspaper sitting up and taking note of the mayhem that has ensued, just over the last several months, at least a small sliver of “We told you so” gestalt, does for a fact, flash across the unbridled consciousness, at least to some degree.

However, that bit of semi-confirmation then pales at the possibilities of what we believe could be coming if events continue to play out, as scripted.

The main problem lies within the pace and timbre of how things unfold and whether or not an actual convergence in events might be taking place, which could represent something extraordinarily dire for both the nation and the planet.

On that note, in the following article, USA Today lays out how it sees an alarming chain of events unfolding, and the inevitable doubt creeping in regarding what it all might mean, while musing over the undeniable possibilities:

“When the month began, a confluence of hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, wildfires and a brewing international nuclear confrontation already had some Americans thinking about End Times.

Then Las Vegas, the nation’s playground, witnessed the worst mass shooting in U.S. history — the latest in this peerless series of catastrophes. Some were natural, some man-made. Together, they’ve shadowed a usually optimistic nation with a cloud of sorrow and anxiety.

You didn’t have to be in Vegas, Seattle, Houston, Key West or San Juan, or have relatives in Mexico, or live in the Inter-mountain West with a respiratory condition, to be worried. A nation that had thought itself numbed to tragedy is realizing that no matter how bad things are, they apparently can always get worse.

“Why?’’ asked country music star Blake Shelton in a tweet after the shooting. That was one question, shared many times by many others. There was another: “What’s next?’’

A summer that seemed destined to be remembered for its magnificent solar eclipse had lurched suddenly toward the eve of destruction. And autumn hasn’t been much better.  

So much has gone wrong so fast it’s fair to review the overlapping calamities:

• In the span of two weeks, two major hurricanes, Harvey and Irma, hit the continental U.S., the first time two category 4 storms have ever done so in a single season. Then a third storm, Maria, clobbered the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, producing a level of misery that still may not have crested.
• Mexico was shaken by two earthquakes 12 days apart that killed hundreds of people. The second occurred on the anniversary of the 1985 Mexico City earthquake that killed thousands. That quake had been commemorated, and a national earthquake drill held, just two hours before the ground again began to shake on Sept. 19.  
• 
• Wildfires, spurred by some of the driest, hottest late summer weather on record,  consumed an area in the West 50% larger than the state of New Jersey. As air quality plummeted across Washington State, the governor declared a state of emergency and told everyone in some areas to stay indoors.
• The leaders of the U.S. and North Korea traded insults and threats. President Trump ridiculed his own secretary of state’s efforts to negotiate with the Kim Jong Un regime to peacefully resolve the nuclear faceoff. Trump tweeted that Rex Tillerson “is wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man…’’ 

The natural disasters produced images that unsettled even those nowhere near them.  Consider just the wildfires.

In normally wet Seattle, which on Aug. 8 recorded its record 52nd straight day without rain, ash from Central Washington fires fell like snow and covered the city with a dense smoke cloud. In Montana, wildfires closed the western part of Glacier National Park’s famous Going-to-the-Sun Road …. while the eastern portion was closed by ice and snow. In Oregon, a photo showed golfers in the foreground playing through as a huge forest fire roared in the background.   

“Yes,’’ the Dallas Morning News editorialized last month, “it does feel like Mother Nature is just done with us.’’  

Her children were not. In Las Vegas, a man rich enough to have two planes and an arsenal of guns opened fire Sunday night from the upper floor of a luxury hotel, hitting or injuring hundreds of concertgoers across the street. As of this writing, 59 had died.

The crises brought out the best in some people. Texas saw an American Dunkirk, with more than 15,000 rescued from high waters by a motley array of craft. And Mexicans spontaneously formed bucket brigades to remove rubble and search for survivors in the ruins of hundreds of collapsed schools and other buildings.

More: Here are the worst hurricanes and floods in U.S. history

But for all too many, it was all too much.

Tamara Harpster, 54, of Lakeside, Calif., wrote on Facebook that when she learned of the shooting “I felt numb.’’ After the last month, “it seems like ‘Oh well, just another day in a sucky world now.’ … I feel such a loss of control and a realization that there is nothing an individual can do to stop these horrible things from happening.’’

And yet, she wrote, “I want somehow to fix things and make them stop.’’

Daniel Gardner, who teaches communications at Mississippi State, says that while most people in the rural South shake their heads over the troubles and move on, the millennials he teaches are different: With instantaneous communication via social media, they are “easily shaken emotionally, and prone to be more naive and gullible. … So the confluence of bad events makes them feel more vulnerable.’’ 

A 15-year-old with the Twitter handle of Mickel made a similar point: “i don’t like the general direction of where the world is going.’’

The question was why it seemed to be going there.

There was an obvious answer — coincidence — and on one level, it was all explicable.

Storms? That’s why they call this hurricane season. And until 2017 it had been 12 years since any hurricane of such intensity made continental U.S. landfall.

Quakes? Mexico sits on unstable tectonic plates.

Fires? Forests have been burning in North America since before any civilization.

Korea? The Korean War never officially ended when hostilities ceased in 1953. Sabers have been rattling ever since.

As for Las Vegas, America since Columbine has repeatedly demonstrated what happens when a wealthy, historically violent nation with many angry, mentally disturbed residents has loose gun laws.  

Some blamed global warming for the storms and the fires; some blamed Trump for Korea and the halting Puerto Rico relief effort.

Others saw a higher authority in control.

‘What else is needed to get our attention?’’ asked Michael L. Brown, the conservative host of the nationally syndicated radio show, The Line of Fire.

 “We need to get on our faces before the Lord, acknowledging our own sins and shortcomings, not pointing the finger at others but rather at ourselves. And whatever our views on climate control and gun control and immigration reform and President Trump, we need to implore the only one who can heal our land.’’

In a video he posted online, actor Kirk Cameron (Growing Pains) called the hurricanes “a spectacular display of God’s immense power” and said, “weather is sent to cause us to respond to God in humility, awe and repentance.”

Was Judgement Day at hand? Several who studied the question had set the date at Sept. 23. But as the day passed and the tribulations continued, some didn’t need obscure scriptural passages or complicated astrological projections to feel the end was near.

That’s one theology. Another is held by the Rev. Ryan Moore of First Presbyterian Church in Tulsa. He told the Tulsa World that he doesn’t spend much time trying to predict when The End is coming, because a daily faith matters more.

“But with all that’s going on in the world,’’ he admits, “you can’t help but be a little bit apocalyptic.” “
