Was Vegas an FBI sting gone bad?
By Cliff Kincaid
Why is there no motive for the Vegas massacre? Why did Stephen Paddock have a secret life?
It is terrible to contemplate, but the possibility that Stephen Paddock was an undercover federal operative or informant cannot be ruled out. He may have been set up or used by ISIS and/or a federal agency in a scheme that backfired.
The feds may have thought they were going to catch ISIS in the act of preparing a major terrorist attack. ISIS terrorists may have thought Paddock was one of them, but realized at the last minute it was a set-up. They claimed him as one of their own anyway.

This to me, looks like more of the fringe theories and Cliff "can" get way out sometimes.... but as more people talk about it, it's a bit more than just talk in the wind. After all, we now have a major change in the narrative via the security guard being gunned down before Paddock started shooting at the crowd.

No apparent motive might be because he's simply insane. Insane follows no moral or rational code. It can't be understood.
