MOM GETS JAIL OVER REFUSAL TO VACCINATE SON



THIS WILL BE SHORT.
I'VE WRITTEN VOLUMES ON VACCINATIONS AND PARENTAL RIGHTS.

I'VE WRITTEN ABOUT THE STATE TAKING AWAY OUR CHILDREN, TAKING AWAY OUR RIGHT TO DECIDE WHAT'S BEST FOR THEM.

MY STANCE ON THIS, BASED PURELY ON DOCUMENTED RESEARCH AND THE INFORMATION FROM PACKAGE INSERTS IN EACH BOX THAT COMES WITH A BOTTLE OF VACCINE, FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND FROM ALMOST 30 YEARS 'IN PRACTICE' IN THE MEDICAL FIELD, HAS ALWAYS BEEN CLEAR
I WOULDN'T VACCINATE A DOG WITH HUMAN VACCINES.


BEFORE I HAD ANY MEDICAL TRAINING, WE VACCINATED ALL OUR CHILDREN AND ALMOST LOST TWO OF THEM IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE VACCINES.

VACCINES ARE NOT HARMLESS.

IF VACCINES ACTUALLY WORK, NO ONE WHOSE CHILDREN ARE VACCINATED SHOULD BE THE LEAST CONCERNED ABOUT THOSE CHILDREN WHO ARE NOT VACCINATED.

I REPEAT, YOUR VACCINATED CHILD SHOULD HAVE FULL IMMUNITY FROM ANY DISEASE AN UNVACCINATED CHILD MIGHT CONTRACT, YOU POOR GULLIBLE, UNINFORMED LITTLE SHEEP.

IT IS NONE OF YOUR DAMNED BUSINESS WHAT OTHER PARENTS DECIDE FOR THEIR CHILDREN.
LEAVE THEM THE HELL ALONE?
TRY IT.

NO ONE WHO IS ANTI-VACCINE IS TRYING TO HAND YOU JAIL TIME FOR VACCINATING YOUR OFFSPRING, THOUGH, PERSONALLY, WHEN A PARENT IS PROPERLY INFORMED, MAKES THE CHOICE TO VACCINATE ANYWAY AND THAT CHILD DIES OR IS DISABLED, I BELIEVE THAT PARENT IS JUST AS GUILTY AS THE VACCINE MANUFACTURERS AND SHOULD BE IMPRISONED, BUT THAT'S JUST MY CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH. IT'S WHAT I BELIEVE.

IF YOU ARE 100% CONVINCED THAT VACCINES WILL PROTECT YOUR CHILD, WHY WORRY ABOUT THEM GETTING ANYTHING A VACCINE IS SUPPOSED TO PREVENT?

YOU HAVE YOUR BELIEFS AND THE CONSTITUTION GUARANTEES ALL THE RIGHT TO HAVE THEIRS.

IN THE CASE CITED HERE, ONE PARENT WAS PRO-VACCINE, THE OTHER HELD RELIGIOUS BELIEFS THAT DID NOT AGREE WITH VACCINATIONS.
SHE WAS THE PRIMARY CUSTODIAN OF THE CHILD.

NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE OUTCOME MIGHT HAVE BEEN IF SHE HAD UPHELD HER RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AGAINST THE WILL OF THE FATHER.

INSTEAD, SHE FOOLISHLY AGREED TO VACCINATE THE CHILD.
WHEN SHE DID NOT DO SO, SHE WENT TO JAIL AND LOST PRIMARY CUSTODY AND WHILE SHE WAS IN JAIL, THE FATHER HAD THE CHILD VACCINATED

TOO MANY TIMES CHILDREN BECOME PAWNS IN A VICIOUS GAME PLAYED BY COMBATIVE EX-SPOUSES.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT ISN'T ALLOWABLE FOR VACCINES TO BE POSTPONED UNTIL THE CHILD REACHES AN AGE WHEN HE/SHE CAN DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES WHETHER OR NOT TO BE VACCINATED.
I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT ANY CHILD PROVIDED ALL THE DOCUMENTATION REGARDING VACCINES WOULD CHOOSE TO BE VACCINATED. 
SOME MIGHT, BUT I THINK THEY WOULD BE FEW.

SUCH AN UNVACCINATED CHILD POSES NO THREAT TO VACCINATED CHILDREN IF, BIG IF, VACCINES WORK.

IT'S THE DOUBT THAT VACCINES WORK, ISN'T IT?
ISN'T IT THAT PARENTS WHO SHOT THEIR KIDS UP WITH GOD-KNOWS-WHAT ARE SCARED THOSE VACCINES DON'T AND WON'T PREVENT DISEASE?

ADMIT IT, YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN VACCINES EITHER IF YOU'RE AFRAID YOUR VACCINATED KID CAN BE INFECTED BY AN UNVACCINATED KID.
THAT'S HYPOCRISY!


THAT'S UNMITIGATED HYSTERIA  AND THAT THIS TYPE OF STATE OR FEDERAL INTERVENTION CAN BE ENFORCED IS HEINOUS, TO SAY THE LEAST.
THE CONSTITUTION DOES NOT GRANT SUCH RIGHTS TO ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY OR TO CONGRESS.

HAD WE NOT BEEN WITHIN 3 MINUTES OF AN EMERGENCY ROOM AND LIFE-SAVING CAPABILITIES FOUND ONLY IN HOSPITAL SETTINGS, TWO OF OUR CHILDREN MOST DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE DIED FROM ANAPHYLACTIC REACTIONS.

WOULD THE FATHER HAVE STILL BEEN SATISFIED HAD THIS CHILD DIED?
WOULD THE HYSTERICAL PRO-VACCINE CROWD HAVE REJOICED FOR ANOTHER CHILD VACCINATED AFTER ANOTHER DEATH BY VACCINE?


MANY FAMILIES HAVE A GENETIC TENDENCY TO BE EXTREMELY "ALLERGIC" TO SUBSTANCES FOUND IN VACCINES.

PARENTS OF FRESHLY VACCINATED CHILDREN WHO DIED HAVE WON LAWSUITS FOR WRONGFUL DEATH.

PARENTS OF CHILDREN SEVERELY DISABLED AFTER VACCINES HAVE ALSO WON LAWSUITS.


DOESN'T THAT TELL IDIOTS WHO DEMAND ALL PARENTS VACCINATE THEIR CHILDREN ANYTHING?

YES, VACCINES HAVE KILLED, HAVE ALMOST KILLED, HAVE RENDERED CHILDREN MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY DISABLED FOR LIFE.

MY GENERATION WAS GIVEN THE MONKEY-VIRUS-INFESTED SALK VACCINE FOR POLIO.

THAT VACCINE CONTAINED THE VIRUS SV40.
SV40 IS FOUND IN MANY CANCEROUS TUMORS.
IT WAS FOUND IN MINE.

PEER-REVIEWED STUDIES AGREE SV40 CAN, HAS, DOES CAUSE CANCERS IN MANY, AND HAVE STATED SO.

"
These data suggest that there may be an increased incidence of certain cancers among the 98 million persons exposed to contaminated polio vaccine in the U.S."

98 MILLION!

OUR FAMILIES WERE INVITED TO GET FREE VACCINES AS WELL.
MANY DID.

I SAW 40% OF MY GRADUATING CLASS DIE OF CANCER BEFORE THEY REACHED AGE 30.
I LOST MY PARENTS, MY ONLY SIBLING, THREE OF MY FOUR GRANDPARENTS, FOUR COUSINS, AN UNCLE AND ALL THOSE FRIENDS TO ONE DAMNED VACCINE.

IT TOOK DECADES FOR THE CDC TO ADMIT THAT THAT PARTICULAR SERIES OF VACCINES WAS CONTAMINATED WITH MONKEY VIRUS, THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF IT AND DID NOT DISCLOSE THE FACT.

THAT PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY WAS KNOWINGLY HIDING THIS HORRIFIC FACT FOR DECADES.
I AM IN MY 4th BATTLE AGAINST CANCER TODAY. 

DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO TELL ME VACCINES ARE HARMLESS!  

IF YOU WISH TO TAKE SUCH A KNOWN RISK WITH YOUR CHILD, FINE, BUT I PITY THAT CHILD.

BUT IF OTHERS DECIDE AGAINST TAKING EVEN A ONE-IN-A-BILLION CHANCE THAT THEIR CHILD WILL BE KILLED OR HARMED, THEN WHY CAN'T THE PRO-VACCINE SCREAMERS SIMPLY SIT DOWN, SHUT UP AND GO ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT THEIR POOR VACCINATED CHILDREN WILL BE SAFE FROM HARM?

NO, PRO-VACCINE PEOPLE ARE CONTROL FREAKS BY MAJORITY.
THEY SIMPLY WANT TO CONTROL WHAT OTHERS DO.

OR ELSE THEY ARE WILLFULLY IGNORANT OF WHAT THOSE INSERTS FOUND WITH EVERY BATCH OF VACCINE STATES...IT CAN CAUSE DEATH, IT CAN CAUSE HORRIBLE PROBLEMS.

IGNORANCE IS NO EXCUSE.

CRAMMING YOUR BELIEFS DOWN ANOTHER'S THROAT FOR THE PLEASURE OF IT IS, AT BEST, PURELY EVIL.

MY PERSONAL OPINION, MY BLOG, MY WAY.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE THAT, DON'T READ HERE!
IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TELLING YOU THE TRUTH, DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO TELL ME ANYTHING.

AS A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL, I BOTH REFUSED VACCINES AND REFUSED TO ADMINISTER VACCINES.
AND WHEN I PROVIDED THE ENCLOSED LITERATURE FROM THOSE VACCINES, MADE PARENTS READ IT ALL, NOT ONE PARENT EVER SAID TO ME, "GO AHEAD AND GIVE MY CHILD THE VACCINE".
NOT ONE.


THIS IS AN ATROCITY, A BREACH OF CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
AND IT IS 100% UNNECESSARY.


MOM GETS JAIL OVER REFUSAL TO VACCINATE SON


A Michigan mother has lost primary custody of her child after she was jailed for five days for not following through on an agreement to vaccinate her 9-year-old son.

Oakland County Judge Karen McDonald ruled Wednesday that Rebecca Bredow, 40, of Ferndale would no longer have primary custody of the boy, but would share joint custody with her ex-husband, James Horne.

Horne wanted his son vaccinated and Bredow agreed to do so last November but didn't follow through. The mother said vaccinations go against her religious beliefs.

Bredow was found in contempt of court last week and sent to jail for five days. The judge also granted temporary custody to Horne and ordered the boy to be vaccinated. He received four immunizations on Monday.

Bredow’s attorney said she was “devastated” when she found out her son was vaccinated.

OUR CHILDREN ARE OUR CHILDREN.
THE STATE DID NOT HAVE ANY PART IN THEIR CONCEPTION AND HAS NO PART IN WHAT WE CHOOSE TO DO TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN FROM POSSIBLE HARM.

LAS VEGAS SHOOTING: STORY CHANGES DAILY, DETAILS DO NOT ADD UP.


ABOVE: "MISSING": HOTEL SECURITY GUARD, JOSE CAMPOS. CAMPOS 'DISAPPEARED', JUST PRIOR TO BREAKING HIS SILENCE, FROM A ROOM WHERE HE WAS ABOUT TO GIVE AN INTERVIEW TO FOX NEWS, ABC NEWS AND THREE OTHER NEWS MEDIA.
HIS UNION DOES NOT KNOW HIS CURRENT WHEREABOUTS.
CAMPOS WAS ALLEGEDLY WOUNDED BY GUNFIRE FROM THE SHOOTER'S ROOM IN LAS VEGAS THE NIGHT OF THE DEADLY CONCERT SHOOTING.
FOX LISTS HIM AS "WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN".

"When the cameras were about to roll, and media gathered in the building to talk to him, Campos reportedly bolted, and, as of early Friday morning,
it wasn't immediately clear where he was.
“We were in a room and we came out and he was gone,” Campos' union president told reporters, according to ABC News’ Stephanie Wash.

Media scrum tonight as we learn security officer shot in Vegas attack, Jesus Campos’ whereabouts are unknown. pic.twitter.com/Jk09tRlPsX— Stephanie Wash (@WashNews) October 13, 2017

Little is known about Campos, with few pictures to emerge of the security guard and no apparent online footprint surfacing to provide details about one of the central figures in the mass shooting.    

...

ABOVE: OBITUARY NOTICE FOR 28-YEAR-OLD KYMBERLEY SUCHOMEL WHO SURVIVED THE VEGAS SHOOTING, WASN'T WOUNDED, BUT WAS FOUND DEAD IN HER BED EARLY IN THE MORNING OF OCT. 9th. SHE WAS ONE OF SEVERAL WITNESSES WHO STATED VEHEMENTLY THAT THERE WAS MORE THAN ONE SHOOTER AND HER FACEBOOK PAGE HAD BEEN HER PLATFORM TO PUSH THAT CLAIM.
SHE WAS TAKING MEDICATION FOR A PITUITARY TUMOR BUT CAUSE OF DEATH HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN AS OF THIS REPORT FROM MONDAY.
SHE WAS MARRIED AND MOTHER TO ONE YOUNG CHILD.




FBI Las Vegas Division Director Aaron Rouse. Rouse, pictured above, was named special agent in charge of the Las Vegas Division by FBI Director James B. Comey on July 28, 2016.
MANY SEEM TO BE UNHAPPY WITH HIS HANDLING OF THE 'INVESTIGATION'.

Pictured above, 3 of the 4 officers who first responded to the room where Stephen Paddock was found dead.
In the back row, on the left, Detective Matthew Donaldson and on the right Officer Casey Clarkson who was present on the ground inside the concert arena.
In the front row both K-9 officers, on the left, Officer Dave Newton and on the right Officer Joshua Bitsko.

NOT PICTURED, the 4th man in the IMPROVISED team who breached the shooters room, S.W.A.T. member, Levi Hancock.
Hancock has not been interviewed by the press as of today, Oct. 13.
LATEST DEVELOPMENT, ASIDE FROM THE MISSING CAMPOS AND THE DEATH OF THE YOUNG SURVIVOR:
“The Las Vegas shooter’s Reno home was left unguarded over the weekend and was broken into, causing another round of police activity in the normally quiet Del Webb neighborhood, police confirmed Tuesday. (Reno Gazette-Journal, Oct.10, 2017)

“Officer Tim Broadway with the Reno Police Department said the suspect or suspects broke into the home through the front door over the weekend, noting he was not sure how exactly the suspects gained entry.”

HOW COMPLETELY INEPT IS THAT!
The Del Webb Parkway home was in the spotlight, yet had no police presence against invaders?
When is the last time a house at the center of a horrific crime, now key evidence, has been left open for intrusion?
WHO'S IN CHARGE?
FBI, LVMPD, ATF, WHO?
WHO LET THIS HAPPEN?
The prime question should be, the above article states, did the suspect or suspects carry anything away?
[Or bring something into the house?]

NO.
NO, as I alluded to in my previous blog on this tragedy, the prime question should be "Was Vegas an FBI Sting Gone Bad?" as Canada Free Press had the stones to ask in an article dated Oct. 8, 2017:    
"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 either 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 that it was a set-up. So they claimed him as one of their own.

Those of us who have been around Washington D.C. for awhile know that the FBI has been rocked by scandals of all kinds and a series of failures, ranging from Ruby Ridge to Waco to 9/11. Because these scandals involve death, stonewalling, and cover-up, the agencies cannot be trusted to investigate themselves.

 The New York Times said, “…agents have helped people suspected of being extremists acquire weapons, scope out bombing targets and find the best routes to Syria to join the Islamic State, records show.”


[THE FBI HAS BEEN BUSTED MANY TIMES IN THE PAST FOR AIDING AND ABETTING WOULD-BE KILLERS, FOR CREATING TERRORISTS WITH 'STING OPERATIONS', EVEN DRIVING ONE TO THE SCENE TO BLOW UP A BRIDGE, PROVIDING 'FAKE' EXPLOSIVE DEVICES, ETC]

For someone with even elementary knowledge of government incompetence and corruption, it doesn’t take a lot of imagination to consider the possibility that Paddock was a government informant or operative in a scheme that backfired. "


"MULTIPLE SHOOTERS"
HOW MANY TIMES DOES POLICE SCANNER AUDIO STATE THERE ARE MULTIPLE SHOOTERS FROM MULTIPLE LOCATIONS? 

HOW MANY OF THOSE CONCERT-GOERS STATED VEHEMENTLY IN ON-AIR LIVE INTERVIEWS THAT THERE WERE SHOTS FIRED AT THEM FROM MULTIPLE ANGLES, THAT THEY SAW OTHER SHOOTERS?

ROCKY PALERMO COMES IMMEDIATELY TO MIND, AS DO THESE IN 'LIVE AT THE TIME' INTERVIEWS, AND
BET shows others that were there asserting the same thing, multiple shooter.

But law enforcement continues to maintain there was only one shooter, despite the multiple witness testimonies to the contrary.
Law enforcement claims that they are aware of the "internet rumors" and social media claims, but never once acknowledge publicly that many of those claims are coming from eyewitnesses and shooting victims, people who were there at the time of the shooting, when the police were not.
It deserves further investigation, but we won't see that happen.

EVEN THE WASHINGTON POST CALLED ATTENTION TO THE SEVERAL POLICE OFFICERS WHO MAINTAINED THERE WERE MULTIPLE SHOOTERS. 

“Have confirmed that there are two shooters with fully automated weapons,” an officer said, according to the transcript, about a minute after the hotel guard was wounded."


IN THEIR OWN WORDS: FROM POLICE AUDIO RECORDING.  

Below is the radio chatter transcript of Las Vegas SWAT team members as they prepared to breach the concert shooter's door at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, as reported by USA Today on Oct. 3, 2017.

This police scanner audio is VERY important so please read carefully.

The complete archives for this feed can be found here:
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police - All Area Commands [Archives] - [ Premium ]

The link to the LIVE FEED that covered this incident can be found here:
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police - All Area Commands [Live]

10:08 p.m. Pacific time, 8 minutes after first shots were fired, 8 minutes.: Police dispatcher receives the first reports of shots fired at the Route 91 Harvest Festival. Country singer Jason Aldean is performing for 22,000 people, across the Las Vegas Strip from Mandalay Bay.
“We’ve got shots fired,” a police officer shouts into his radio, as recorded by Broadcastify.com. “Sounded like an automatic firearm.”

Thirty seconds later, another officer confirms the shooting.
“It’s coming from upstairs, Mandalay Bay,” the officer says. “I see the shots coming from Mandalay Bay, halfway up!”   

HALFWAY UP WOULD HAVE BEEN FAR BELOW THE 32nd FLOOR.


10:09 p.m.: "We have an active shooter!” one officer says. “We have an active shooter inside the fairgrounds!”

10:19 p.m. Another group of four officers approaches the Mandalay Bay.

An officer already in position says a group is on that floor.

“Copy,” the first officer says. “We’re going to make our way to give you support.”


10:32 p.m. Police say multiple reports from the tower at McCarran International Airport about people walking across the runways.

10:34 p.m. Amid the confusion, police keep alert to other suspicious activity. A black truck races out of a parking lot. A few minutes later, an older man wearing fatigues and carrying a black bag from the direction of the shooting climbed into a white recreational vehicle. 

10:50 p.m. As officers converged on the Mandalay Bay’s 32nd floor, they took precautions to avoid shooting each other.

“I’ll let you know before we come through a door, so we don’t have a blue on blue,” one officer said as he approached the floor.

The police confrontation with the gunman isn’t heard on the Broadcastify recording. But an officer on that floor of the hotel assures a colleague that they have enough firepower.
“I have multiple rifles and plenty of officers,” the officer says.

11:58 p.m. Police report the suspect is down. Paddock shot himself to death, police said later.

USA THEN REPORTS THE FOLLOWING AS IT HAPPENED:

1:55 a.m.
Police announce at least 20 dead and 100 wounded.

1:57 a.m. Police search two vehicles linked to Paddock, a Hyundai Tucson and a Chrysler Pacifica.

3:38 a.m. Police announce at least 50 dead and 200 injured.

4:11 a.m. President Trump tweets his condolences and sympathies to the victims and their families.

4:30 a.m. Las Vegas police say two on-duty officers were injured during the shooting, with one in stable condition after surgery and the other with minor injuries.

5:33 a.m. Police identify Stephen Craig Paddock as the late shooter, with at least 50 dead and 406 injured. One off-duty Las Vegas police officer is among the dead.


USA TODAY reported on October 3, 2017:  

Some officers took it upon themselves to immediately go to the Mandalay Bay,” [Sheriff] Lombardo said. “There was a team of six officers that approached security. They went up the elevators after discussing the situation with security and obtaining intelligence. They checked each floor, until they located were where they believed to be the room.

Subsequently they approached the room, received gunfire, they backed off and SWAT responded.”    
NO!
THE FIRST TEAM IN REPORTED NO GUNFIRE, NONE.
ONLY THE ONE HOTEL SECURITY GUARD REPORTED RECEIVING FIRE, AS YOU WILL SEE IN INTERVIEWS BELOW.

THEY WENT UP THE ELEVATORS?
WE WERE TOLD BY THE TEAM INTERVIEWED BY 60 MINUTES THAT THE ELEVATORS HAD BEEN SHUT DOWN SO THE SHOOTER COULD NOT ESCAPE BY THAT MEANS.
WE WERE TOLD THAT WAS THE REASON IT TOOK THE POLICE SO LONG TO GET UP TO THE 32nd FLOOR, NO ELEVATOR ACCESS.

DID THE "HEROIC FIRST ON THE SCENE" GROUP OF 4 GET UP THERE BY ELEVATOR OR NOT?
IF THEY DID, THAT WIPES OUT THE EXCUSE FOR HOW LONG IT TOOK THEM TO BREAK INTO THAT ROOM.
BTW, THEY SAID THEY HAD ONLY FOUR IN THEIR GROUP, NOT SIX.


On Monday [OCT.9], an updated timeline about when the Mandalay Bay security guard was shot was released by the sheriff, raising many questions.

Metro says that Campos arrived on the 32nd floor to investigate a door alarm.
When he tried to get in through the stairwell -- only to find the door didn't open -- Campos also heard drilling.
He then called for maintenance, he said. A maintenance man arrived on scene and as they checked on the door, Paddock started firing hundreds of rounds at both of them through his suite door.

This all happened [SIX] minutes before Paddock turned his attention to the crowd below.
IN HIS LATER STATEMENTS, CAMPOS CLAIMED HE ARRIVED FIRST, WAS SHOT, THEN MAINTENANCE ARRIVED AND HE YELLED TO HIM TO TAKE COVER.
MAINTENANCE STATES HE WAS SENT UP TO INVESTIGATE A DOOR PROBLEM BY HIS SUPERVISOR. BECAUSE OF ANOTHER "ALARM".
THAT IS A BIG CHANGE IN STATEMENTS AND 'INFORMATION'. WHOM DO WE BELIEVE? WHICH IS THE TRUTH? 


Investigators originally said that Stephen Paddock checked in to Mandalay Bay on Sept. 28. They now say he checked in on Sept. 25. A full three days earlier."

BUT MGM SAYS THE POLICE TIMELINE IS STILL IN ERROR:
"In a statement released on Thursday [OCT. 12], however, MGM Resorts International said reports of a gap {between] those initial calls and hotel security’s response are based on an error in a “manually created” report that was compiled “without the benefit of information we now have.”

“We know that shots were being fired at the festival lot at the same time as, or within 40 seconds after, the time Jesus Campos first reported that shots were fired over the radio,” the statement reads.   

“Metro officers were together with armed Mandalay Bay security officers in the building when Campos first reported that shots were fired over the radio. These Metro officers and armed Mandalay Bay security officers immediately responded to the 32nd floor.”

IS MANDALAY BAY COVERING THEIR OWN BACKSIDES IN CASE OF LAWSUITS, OR DID METRO LIE?
HOW CAN WE EVER KNOW FOR SURE?


Officers did not reach the 32nd floor until at least 18 minutes after Campos was shot in the thigh, according to the official timeline, and they appeared to have no idea he had been wounded at all before finding him."    

Las Vegas police are expected to release new information about the case Friday after a week that has seen the timeline of the shooting shift almost daily, raising questions about whether authorities could have done more to stop the gunman before he killed 58 people."      

WELL, RIGHT ON CUE, SHERIFF LOMBARDO CAME RIGHT BACK WITH YET ANOTHER "UPDATE" TODAY, OCT. 13:

"In the early throes of this tragedy, I had advised each and everyone of you that items of information were going to change," Sheriff Lombardo said.

He started the news conference with an update of the most recent number on people injured at the concert.  
He said, 546 people were injured that night, 501 have been discharged from hospitals. Forty-five remain hospitalized, some of them in critical condition. The number of dead, 58, remains unchanged.

Lombardo also addressed the timeline of the minutes leading up to the mass shooting.

"Unfortunately, a great deal of my investigators' time has been spent on this timeline. In the public space, the word incompetence has come up and I'm absolutely offended by that characterization." 



LOMBARDO HAS PREVIOUSLY STATED HE DIDN'T ASK FOR THE JOB OF UPDATING THE PRESS.

“I’m not comfortable with it. I didn’t ask for it, nor do I want it,” Lombardo said. “But I’m there, and hopefully I’m doing a good job.”

The national spotlight also brings intensified scrutiny. And a recent change to the timeline of events has directed pointed criticism at Lombardo and Metro.

Several former Las Vegas police sheriffs did not respond to requests for comment, and the most recent former sheriff, Doug Gillespie, said he has made it a point since retiring in 2014 to refrain from speaking about Las Vegas police matters.

BODIES STILL ON THE GROUND 36 HOURS AFTER SHOOTING.
WHY?  

It wasn’t until Oct. 3, the Tuesday morning after the shooting [on Sunday], that Lombardo walked the grounds of the Route 91 Harvest festival. Even 36 hours later, grisly reminders of the carnage remained.

“There were still bodies,” Lombardo said.


FROM ABC NEWS: OCT. 13, 2017
Lombardo stands firmly behind the timeline he gave the press on the 9th.  

 
Las Vegas authorities say they stand by their timeline of the deadliest shooting in modern U.S. history, which has been disputed by the hotel where the gunman opened fire.  

Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told reporters Friday that Stephen Paddock rained down bullets on a concert crowd starting at 10:05 p.m. Oct. 1. He has said that six minutes earlier, Paddock sprayed 200 rounds from his Mandalay Bay room into the hallway, hitting a security guard in the leg.  

That timeline released earlier this week differed from a week ago, when authorities said the guard was shot after Paddock opened fire on the crowd.

The changes led to questions about why police and hotel security weren't able to stop Paddock sooner.


Lombardo pushed back against criticism over the timeline, saying he was "absolutely offended" over any suggestion that authorities bungled the response. 

Mandalay Bay officials have disputed whether six minutes actually passed between the first gunfire in the hallway and the start of the concert rampage.

Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told reporters Friday that Stephen Paddock's autopsy found nothing unusual during a visual inspection, but his brain was shipped to a facility to look for any minute problems.

A BRAND NEW 'REVELATION':

Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told reporters Friday that Stephen Paddock shot at the fuel tanks at McCarran International Airport near the Mandalay Bay hotel, where he opened fire onto a concert crowd below.  
Lombardo says the airport is reviewing safety measures and has contacted experts in fuel storage but that there's a low probability aviation fuel could be ignited by gunfire.

FBI Special Agent in Charge Aaron Rouse says investigators have found no signs that Paddock had ideologies or connections to any groups.

ALSO NEWLY ADDED:
-- "On at least two occasions, a bellman helped Paddock bring bags up to his 32nd floor room. After poring over surveillance footage, authorities have yet to spot any red flags about Paddock’s actions leading up to Oct. 1 that may have signaled his planned ambush...  

-- PADDOCK DEFINITELY ONLY SPENT 2 DAYS IN THE ROOM FROM WHICH HE FIRED ON THE CROWD BELOW, HAVING MOVED INTO THAT ROOM FROM ANOTHER IN THE HOTEL ON SATURDAY.
THIS IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE FOR WHAT OFFICERS WHO BROKE INTO THE ROOM SAID LATER, THAT IT TOOK DAYS FOR HIM TO SET THINGS UP.


Paddock, a video poker player, checked in to Mandalay Bay on Sept. 25 — three days earlier than initially reported.  

Lombardo said Paddock spent those first three days in a separate room, and the hotel provided that room free of charge for unknown reasons. Paddock spent the remaining days in the corner suite where he staged his attack, and he paid for the suite himself.      

“We’ve learned that there’s a difference of comp days versus personal pay days,” Lombardo said. “We were going off the personal pay days.”      

-- WE ALSO LEARNED THAT PADDOCK WAS VIDEOTAPED GAMBLING DURING THOSE LAST TWO DAYS, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN A BIG WASTE OF PRECIOUS TIME IF HE NEEDED TO SET UP ALL THAT EQUIPMENT.

-- THERE WERE REPORTS THAT EITHER SATURDAY OR SUNDAY, PADDOCK'S CAR LEFT THE PARKING GARAGE, WAS GONE FOR QUITE SOME TIME, AND DURING THAT TIME, ONE OF HIS ROOM KEY CARDS WAS USED TO ENTER THAT ROOM.

-- HE HAD NO GAMBLING DEBTS.


Despite Mandalay Bay shooter Stephen Paddock’s history of high-stakes gambling, he had no known gambling debts, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said Tuesday.

-- HE WAS NOT EXHIBITING MENTAL INSTABILITY

And, contrary to published reports, Paddock’s girlfriend, Marilou Danley, told investigators in Los Angeles she had no concerns about his mental health.

In an extensive interview Tuesday with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Lombardo clarified those details and provided new information about the Oct. 1 shooting.

- HE DID NOT HIRE A PROSTITUTE.
Throughout his time in Las Vegas, Paddock did not interact with many people, the sheriff said, dispelling rumors the shooter had met with a prostitute for at least one night.

- HE LEFT LAS VEGAS SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE 5 DAYS HE WAS THERE.
Though Paddock checked in about a week [5 DAYS] before the shooting occurred, he did not remain in Las Vegas.
Authorities believe he traveled to Mesquite several times in the days leading up to Oct. 1.

- NO VALIUM PRESCRIPTION.
The Review-Journal reported last week that a Henderson doctor had prescribed Paddock an anti-anxiety drug in June, but the sheriff had no knowledge of relevant medical records for the shooter.


- HE PROBABLY USED A FREIGHT ELEVATOR AT LEAST TWICE.    
"Law enforcement sources also tell CBS News that Paddock MAY have used a freight elevator at Mandalay Bay before the shooting.
"He could have very easily been thought to have been that conventioneer, news media -- anything of that sort," said Las Vegas security consultant Tommy Burns.

- POLICE EVACUATED ROOMS BEFORE BLOWING PADDOCK'S DOOR.
KEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN YOU READ THE TRANSCRIPT FROM THE TODAY INTERVIEW OF THE 4 OFFICERS AND THE INTERVIEW OF THE MAN TWO DOORS DOWN FROM PADDOCK'S ROOM.
"Police who responded evacuated rooms before entering Paddock’s suite, where he had killed himself."

THERE ARE MORE CHANGES THAN MEDIA CAN KEEP TRACK OF AND EVERY CHANGE SEEMS MORE FAR-FETCHED THAN THE ONES BEFORE.

IT READS LIKE A "MAKE IT UP AS YOU GO ALONG" BAD PIECE OF FICTION. 

FACTS DON'T CHANGE, AND IF THERE ARE CHANGES, IT'S BECAUSE WHAT WE WERE INITIALLY TOLD WAS INCORRECT, ERRORS... OR MAYBE FACTS NEEDED TO BE CHANGED TO SAVE FACE, TO EITHER COVER UP ERRORS, BUNGLED POLICE INVESTIGATION, OR MAKE REAL FACTS LOOK LIKE ERRORS?

WHOEVER KEEPS REVISING THINGS IS LEAVING MORE HOLES IN PREVIOUS REPORTS THAN CAN BE FOUND IN A SIEVE.


LET'S FOCUS ON THE HOTEL SECURITY GUARD, JESUS CAMPOS, WHOM WE WERE FIRST TOLD WAS HIT BY A BULLET FRAGMENT IN THAT "HAIL OF GUNFIRE" AFTER THE SHOOTING BEGAN.

NO, NEXT THE GUARD SAID HE WAS SHOT BEFORE THE SHOOTER TOOK AIM AT THE CROWD BELOW, BUT WAIT...
THEN HE SAID HE WAS SHOT JUST AFTER THE GUNFIRE BEGAN, BUT WAIT...
NOW HE SAYS HE WAS SHOT AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME AS THE SHOOTING BEGAN, BUT WAIT...

SO, INITIALLY THIS GUARD SAYS HE WAS RESPONDING TO AN ALARM THAT NOTIFIED STAFF THAT A GUEST'S DOOR WAS AJAR, A ROOM OFF THE HALLWAY OF THE 32nd FLOOR.

IF, AS IN BIG IF, THAT'S THE CASE, IF HE WAS SENT UP TO THE 32nd FLOOR ABOUT AN ALARM, WHY IN HELL DIDN'T SECURITY STAFF KNOW WHERE HE WAS WHEN HE FIRST CALLED IN TO SAY HE'D BEEN SHOT ON THE 32nd FLOOR, WHY ALL THE CONFUSION FOR OVER 10 MINUTES AS TO WHERE THE SHOTS WERE COMING FROM?
BUT WAIT...

THAT'S NOT THE STORY OFFICERS TOLD 60 MINUTES.
"The gunman at the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas who shot into a crowd of thousands did it from a room on the 32nd floor. He may have killed many more if not for a security guard who arrived on the floor within 12 minutes of the onset of the attack. Soon, a small group of Las Vegas police arrived.

They organized themselves into an ad-hoc SWAT team and began storming room 135.

"WITHIN 12 MINUTES OF THE ONSET?"
THE POLICE SAID CAMPOS WAS SHOT AT 9:59 PM.
THAT'S 6 MINUTES BEFORE THE CROWD WAS FIRED ON, SO SECURITY DIDN'T STOP ONE DAMNED THING.
HE SAT IN THAT HALLWAY DURING THE ENTIRE SHOOTING OF THE CROWD AND THAT SHOOTING LASTED FOR 10 MINUTES AND A FEW SECONDS.
THAT'S A TOTAL OF 16 MINUTES, THEN IT TOOK POLICE ANOTHER 12 MINUTES TO FIND THE SHOT GUARD AND THEY SAY THEY DIN'T KNOW CAMPOS WAS SHOT UNTIL THEY ARRIVED ON THAT FLOOR.
WE'RE NOW AT 28 MINUTES BEFORE POLICE ARRIVED, NOT 12.

AND NOW THE POLICE CAN'T SAY WHY THE GUNMAN STOPPED SHOOTING.

[SEE TRANSCRIPT OF THAT INTERVIEW BELOW.]

THE MANDALAY BAY SECURITY GUARD SAID THE FIRST SHOTS FIRED WERE THOSE THROUGH THE DOOR INTO THE HALL, SIX MINUTES BEFORE SHOOTING INTO THE CROWD BELOW. .


From 'shots fired' to all clear: 72 minutes of terror in Las Vegas--L.A. TIMES

THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE ARTICULATES VERY WELL THE ODDITIES AND FREQUENT CHANGES IN "THE FACTS", WHICH SHIFT EACH NEW DAY.
ONE WOULD DO WELL TO READ THIS ARTICLE MORE THAN ONCE.

OCT. 9, 2017, FROM THE L.A. TIMES:

"Police have dramatically changed their account of how the Las Vegas massacre began on Oct. 1, revealing Monday that the gunman shot a hotel security guard six minutes before opening fire on a country music concert — raising new questions about why police weren’t able to pinpoint the gunman’s location sooner.

Officials had previously said that gunman Stephen Paddock, 64, of Mesquite, Nev., shot Mandalay Bay security guard Jesus Campos after Paddock had unleashed his deadly volley at the Route 91 Harvest Festival.    
They had credited Campos, who was shot in the leg, with stopping the 10-minute assault on the concert crowd by turning the gunman's attention to the hotel hallway...

NOPE.
PADDOCK  FIRED ON THE CROWD AFTER HE SHOT CAMPOS.
 

"Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said Monday that Paddock shot Campos before his mass shooting — at 9:59 p.m. — and they now didn't know why Paddock stopped his attack on the crowd."    

ABC NEWS CONFIRMED THIS EARLIER SHOOTING OF THE GUARD.

"According to an official timeline of the shooting released by police Wednesday evening, Stephen Paddock started shooting at the crowd gathered for the Route 91 Music Festival at exactly 10:05pm Sunday night, citing closed-circuit television from the concert venue.

NOW, IF THE COPS WANT TO CLAIM THEY ARRIVED 12 MINUTES AFTER THE GUARD WAS SHOT AT 9:59, THEN THEY ARRIVED AT 10:11 PM, AND SAT OUT IN THE HALLWAY AND LISTENED TO HIM SHOOT FOR ANOTHER 4 MINUTES?

THE SHOOTING ENDED AT 10:15 PM, LASTED 10 MINUTES.

BUT BEFORE THEY ARRIVED INSIDE THE HOTEL, TWO OF THE 'FIRST RESPONDERS' SAID ON 60 MINUTES THAT SHOTS WERE BEING FIRED ONTO THE STREET AS THEY WERE ENTERING THE HOTEL.


We still do not have a clear motive or reason why,” a frustrated Clark County Undersheriff Kevin McMahill said Friday. “We have looked at literally everything.”

McMahill said investigators had reviewed voluminous video from the casino and don’t think Paddock had an accomplice in the shooting, but they want to know if anyone knew about his plot beforehand.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE NEXT STATEMENTS:

In their effort to find any hint of his motive, investigators were looking into whether he was with a prostitute days before the shooting, were scrutinizing cruises he took and were trying to make sense of a cryptic note with numbers jotted on it found in his hotel room, a federal official said.

NOT ONE OFFICIAL, PUBLIC STATEMENT HAS BEEN MADE ABOUT ANY CRUISES, AND THE SHERIFF HAS STATED PADDOCK WAS NOT WITH ANY PROSTITUTE.

HOW WOULD POLICE KNOW THAT?
SECURITY CAMERAS IN EVERY HALL.

SO, WHERE IS THE VIDEO FOOTAGE OF THE SHOOTING DOWN THE HALLWAY AND THE FIRST RESPONDERS ENTERING THAT ROOM?

WHERE IS THE VIDEO FOOTAGE OF WHO CAME AND WENT FROM THAT ROOM?
WHY HAVEN'T THOSE VIDEOS BEEN MADE PUBLIC?


STILL ANALYZING THE NOTE WITH JUST NUMBERS ON IT. 
"The New York Times reported that authorities are trying to analyze the note’s meaning, but Sheriff Joseph Lombardo didn’t elaborate on whether they are significant or not.

“Lombardo said that it contained numbers that were being analyzed for their relevance, and that it was not a manifesto or suicide note,” the Times reported.

The [UNNAMED] official said investigators were interviewing other call girls for information and looking into at least a dozen cruises Paddock took in the last few years, including one to the Middle East."

NO, THIS DID NOT COME FROM ANY OFFICIAL SPOKESPERSON BUT FROM A TWO-BIT, SHOT-IN-THE-DARK ARTICLE THAT CNN FIRST PUBLISHED.

CNN CLAIMED 'INSIDER INFORMATION" FROM ANOTHER "UNNAMED OFFICIAL", JUST LIKE THE ONES THAT WERE PROVEN TO BE FALSE BACK IN JUNE WHEN CNN RETRACTED A STORY AND FIRED 3 EXECUTIVES FOR MANUFACTURING NEWS.

THE NEW YORK TIMES AND WASHINGTON POST WERE AMONG MANY WHO SLAMMED CNN FOR "FAKE NEWS".


YEAH, ALL THAT CRAP IN THE LAST SENTENCE, THAT CAME FROM OLD "FAKE NEWS CNN's" REPORTS FROM THEIR NEW "UNNAMED SOURCE".

AS 'PROJECT VERITAS IN THEIR INVESTIGATIVE REPORT 'AMERICAN PRAVDA, CNN' SHOWED US IN JUNE, CNN's "UNNAMED SOURCES" ARE USUALLY JUST CNN MAKING 'NEWS' UP AS THEY GO ALONG.

SEE <THIS>, ONE OF THEIR UNDERCOVER VIDEOS WITH CNN EMPLOYEES <HERE>, AND THE THREE REPORTS THEY DID EXPOSING CNN <HERE>. 

AND BE ADVISED, THEY HAVE NOW EXPOSED THE NEW YORK TIMES FOR THE SAME THING...CREATING FAKE NEWS TO DRIVE TRUMP OUT OF OFFICE.

[SEE <THIS> AND ALSO <THIS>.]


ANOTHER NEW FACT: 
- PADDOCK DID NOT USE SOCIAL MEDIA AS INITIAL REPORTS STATED, AND THE FBI MADE THAT FACT CLEAR, AS TIME MAGAZINE REPORTED....


"Where other mass killers have left behind a trail of plain-sight clues that help investigators quickly understand what drove them to violence, Paddock, 64, had nearly no close friends, social media presence or other clear connections to the broader world.

Analyzing Paddock's computer, cellphone and other electronic devices, Investigators have found no obvious ideological motive, no clear connection to extremists or activist groups or outward display of mental illness.
"There's all kinds of things that surprise us in each one of these events. That's the one in this one, and we are not there yet," FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said. "We have a lot of work to do."

HIS BROTHER HAD ALREADY TOLD THE PRESS HE WASN'T INTO SOCIAL MEDIA, HAD NO FACEBOOK ACCOUNT.

A QUESTION SOME NEWS MEDIA ARE ASKING: WHY, WHEN POLICE SCANNER AUDIO SHOWS REPORTS OF THE CROWD BELOW BEING GUNNED DOWN, DID THE 'TEAM' UP ON THE 32nd FLOOR DECIDE TO RISK THE GUNMAN OPENING FIRE AGAIN AND TAKE TIME TO EVACUATE OTHER GUESTS AT THE HOTEL?
SHOULDN'T THE THOUSANDS BELOW HAVE TAKEN PRECEDENCE OVER THE DOZENS ON THE 32nd FLOOR?
IF THE GUNMAN KILLED ALMOST 60 IN UNDER 10 MINUTES, HOW MANY COULD HE HAVE KILLED IN AN HOUR?


ABC CALLED 75 MINUTES ON POLICE RESPONSE FROM START OF SHOOTING TO FINDING SHOOTER DEAD.


Sheriff Lombardo says Las Vegas police took 75 minutes to breach hotel door from the time the first shots were fired https://t.co/aiaPBRqDqO pic.twitter.com/398hcWcAwv

— ABC News (@ABC) October 5, 2017


WE WERE TOLD THAT, BEFORE POLICE BROKE INTO THE ROOM, THEY CLEARED THE OTHER ROOMS OFF THAT HALLWAY ON THE 32nd FLOOR.

WHOM DO WE BELIEVE?
AUDIO FROM POLICE SCANNERS THAT BACK UP THE OUTCRY THAT THE ROOM WAS NOT BREACHED FOR 72-75 MINUTES OR THIS LATEST SCENARIO?

WHERE DOES THE TRUTH LIE?
WHO KNOWS THE REALITY OF THE ENTIRE SITUATION?  

AT FIRST, WE WERE TOLD ONLY THIS ONE GUARD WAS IN DANGER FROM THE SHOOTER OUT IN THAT HALLWAY, BUT THEN, WHEN QUESTIONS WERE RAISED BY SOME "CONSPIRACY THEORISTS" THAT THE GUARD HAD POSSIBLY BEEN INSIDE THAT ROOM, PERHAPS COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE SHOOTER, THE STORY CHANGED.  
SUDDENLY, HE WASN'T ALONE, HE WAS JOINED BY OTHER STAFF.  

THAT'S STRETCHING THINGS, BUT SO DOES THE DISCREPANCIES FOUND IN INTERVIEWS OF THE FIRST RESPONDERS AND THE SHERIFF.

REPORTED ON THE TODAY SHOW AND BY ABC NEWS:

FROM 60 MINUTES:
 

Stephen Paddock opened fire on a security guard, Jesus Campos, and a maintenance man, Stephen Schuck, down the hallway of the 32nd floor before he turned his attention to the concertgoers below.

Both men called their supervisors, but neither the police account of the ensuing moments nor publicly transmitted police radio traffic indicate when the hotel security office dialed 911.

Stephen Schuck was one of the first people to encounter Paddock when he went to check out a faulty fire exit door on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay and Casino on Oct. 1, according to a new timeline of events.

“I was about a third of the way down the hallway and I started to hear shots go off,” he told TODAY in an exclusive interview Wednesday.


Schuck then saw hotel security guard, Jesus Campos, stick out his head from a doorway.

“He yelled at me to take cover
, and as soon as I started to go to a door to my left, the rounds started coming down the hallway," Shuck said. "I could feel them pass right behind my head. Something hit me in the back and I took cover."

[EDITOR'S NOTE, TODAY SHOW: An earlier version of the video within this story was headlined incorrectly, stating that the shooter warned Stephen Schuck of the danger. In fact it was hotel security guard Jesus Campos who warned him. The headline has been changed. TODAY regrets the error.]

According to the latest police timeline, Campos was shot about six minutes before the rampage began. Hotel officials released a statement saying that timeline “may not be accurate.”

Police say the current timeline will be revised again by Friday.
REVISED YET AGAIN?
WHAT KIND OF POLICE WORK IS THAT?
CONSTANT, DAILY 'REVISIONS'?
WHY CAN'T THEY JUST PICK A STORY AND STICK TO IT, MAYBE WHAT REALLY, AS IN ACTUALLY HAPPENED, THE UNCHANGEABLE FACTS.
HOW CAN FACTS BE CHANGED TO CREATE NEW FACTS?
THAT RENDERS THE "OLD" FACTS MERELY SUPPOSITION, AT BEST, AND LIES AT THE WORST. 


New audio recordings made public by the hotel’s corporate owner, MGM Resorts, capture the chaotic moments when Schuck called dispatchers to report trouble.

“Call the police,” Schuck tells hotel security. “Someone’s fired a gun up here. Someone’s fired a rifle on the 32nd floor down the hallway.”

Officers did not reach the 32nd floor until at least 18 minutes after Campos was shot in the thigh,
and they appeared to have no idea he had been wounded at all before finding him.

“They weren't aware of him being shot until they met him in the hallway after exiting the elevator,” said Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo.

NOTICE HE SAYS "AFTER EXITING THE ELEVATOR"...ELEVATOR. REMEMBER THIS.

"We have a security officer also shot in the leg on the 32nd floor. He's standing right by the elevator," a Las Vegas Metro policeman radioed, in a recorded transmission 20 minutes after Campos was hit by Paddock's gunfire.

BACK TO THE ELEVATOR:
In part, the response time may have been slowed by a decision to shut down the elevators, a move by hotel management described by Schuck in an NBC News interview. Some police had to climb an unknown number of flights of stairs carrying weapons and body armor.


At 10:16 p.m., an officer radioed his dispatch to "contact Mandalay Bay and have 'em shut down their elevators so he [the gunman] can't get mobile and we can take the stairs and block all the stair exits."

One officer was later heard on police radio traffic breathing heavily and announcing he'd made it up to the same level the gunfire was erupting from. “I'm in a stairwell on the 32nd floor,” he says in a hushed voice. 

HE COULD SPEAK IN A 'HUSHED VOICE' BECAUSE AT 10:15 p.m. THE SHOOTING JUST STOPPED AND NO MORE SHOTS WERE FIRED BY THE GUNMAN.
ALL WAS QUIET AT 10:16.
ONE OF THOSE SHOTS HAD TO BE WHEN THE GUNMAN WAS KILLED, WHETHER BY SUICIDE OR NOT.


[NOTE: This report has been updated to clarify that sources close to the Mandalay Bay hotel dispute the current official timeline and believe it will be revised...ABC NEWS]
FOR THE FIRST TIME, OUT OF THE BLUE, IT SEEMS THE GUARD SUDDENLY PRODUCED A WITNESS TO HIS WHEREABOUTS, ANOTHER HOTEL STAFF MEMBER, AN ENGINEER/MAINTENANCE PERSON WHOM HE SAYS HE CALLED OUT TO AND WARNED ABOUT THE SHOOTER (COULDN'T THE 2nd GUY SORT OF GUESS THERE WERE SHOTS BEING FIRED IF HE WAS RIGHT THERE?) AND THEREBY SAVED 2nd GUY FROM BEING KILLED WHEN OVER 200 ROUNDS WERE FIRED THROUGH THE DOOR OF THE SHOOTER'S ROOM.

OVER 200 ROUNDS STRAIGHT DOWN A NARROW HALLWAY AND THE GUARD WAS HIT ONCE AND THE OTHER GUY WASN'T HIT AT ALL? 200 ROUNDS, ONE HIT?

BUT WAIT...
THE SECURITY GUARD SAID ON ABOUT DAY 2 AFTER THE SHOOTING THAT HE WENT TOWARD THE SHOOTER'S ROOM BECAUSE HE HEARD DRILLING SOUNDS COMING FROM THAT ROOM.

DRILLING?
THAT'S WHAT HE SAID.
DRILLING.
NOT GUNFIRE, DRILLING.

SO, WHENEVER HE WAS SHOT, BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTER, WAS IT GUNSHOTS OR DRILLING THAT DREW HIM TO INVESTIGATE?
GUNSHOTS DO NOT SOUND LIKE DRILLING, DO THEY?
NOPE.
TWO VERY DISTINCT SOUNDS, RIGHT? 
IT WAS DRILLING, NO SHOTS HAD BEEN FIRED AT THAT TIME.

I HAVE A QUESTION: DID THAT MAINTENANCE GUY COME FROM THE DIRECTION OF THAT DRILLING?


THE 60 MINUTES INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT:  
"Las Vegas police give disturbing account of storming Stephen Paddock's hotel room."

I FIND IT VERY ODD THAT THE ONE TRAINED S.W.A.T. TEAM MEMBER WHO WAS UP THERE WAS NOT PRESENT AT THIS INTERVIEW, NO ONE HAS INTERVIEWED HIM AND HE HAS NOT MADE ONE COMMENT AT ALL ABOUT HIS ROLE IN THE STORMING OF THAT ROOM. 

Oct. 8, 2017

In a new episode of "60 Minutes," Detectives Casey Clarkson and Matthew Donaldson, Officers Joshua Bitsko and Dave Newton and SWAT team member Levi Hancock described the harrowing scene they encountered after storming Paddock's 32nd-floor Mandalay Bay hotel room on October 1.

Officer Bitsko told host Bill Whitaker that when they first arrived on the scene, conflicting reports had them believing the gunman was not acting alone.

"We're told that security is taking fire from a suspect on the 29th floor," he said. "And that we had other officers that were identifying the suspect was in a room on the 32nd floor.
So we're thinking multiple shooters at this point."

Eventually, the team was able to zero in on room 135 after a hotel-security guard named Jesus Campos reported that he saw about 200 rounds fired into the hallway from behind Paddock's door.

Although Paddock had barricaded the stairwell door "with a piece of metal and some screws," responders were able to use a "pry bar" to force the door open.

DID YOU CATCH THAT?
HE SAID THEY WERE IN THE STAIRWELL, NOT THE ELEVATOR.

Once they arrived on the 32nd floor, the makeshift SWAT team received a radio call advising them to watch out for booby traps.

"There's a room service cart with wires going on it underneath the door," Officer Newton said. "There was something black on top of the cart. So initially I'm, you know, I'm thinking, "This is a booby-trap. It's -- it's gonna explode."

"I could see the suspect's door was just riddled with bullet holes coming out," he added. "It looked like Swiss cheese."
To gain access to Paddock's room, the team used an explosive to blow the door down, which Newton says set off the hotel fire alarms, adding to the chaotic scene.

The team also encountered one downed white male who was bleeding from the face. He was later identified as shooter Stephen Paddock.

"I didn't see any apparent wounds to his head. But I did see a lotta blood that had come outta his mouth," said Officer Newton.

"There was-- a bloody revolver I think-- nearby. Nearby him that was on the ground consistent with him shootin' himself," added Officer Bitsko.

IN LEAKED PHOTOS OF THIS SCENE, A PISTOL CAN BE SEEN TWO TO THREE FEET FROM THE TOP OF THE HEAD OF THE CORPSE, AND BOTH ARMS ARE CLOSE AGAINST THE BODY.

THERE ARE LOOSE-FITTING GLOVES ON THE HANDS. THERE IS AN "ASSAULT RIFLE" PROPPED UP ABOVE AND ACROSS THE CORPSE'S LEFT ANKLE.
HIS RIGHT FOOT IS RESTING AGAINST AN END TABLE. 

THERE IS BLOOD VISIBLE INSIDE THE MOUTH AND TWO POOLS OF BLOOD ABOUT THE HEAD, ONE STAIN NEAR HIS LEFT EAR IS VERY DARK AND ALMOST DRIED, THE OTHER, ISSUING FROM BENEATH HIS HEAD, IS STILL BRIGHT RED, MOIST AND PARTIALLY UNCLOTTED
.

Along with an arsenal of weaponry and Paddock's body, the team also encountered a few phones, laptops, a couple of drills and a variety of other tools.

UNLIKELY 'FIRST RESPONDERS'.
Sergeant Joshua Bitsko and Officer Dave Newton of the K9-unit had been training dogs when they heard the call.


Joshua Bitsko: So we jump in our cars and hop on the freeway and we were there probably within five minutes.

Detective Matthew Donaldson was doing paperwork at headquarters. He sped nine miles to the Mandalay Bay. In the chaos, he had to run the last few blocks. His cowboy boots rubbed his feet raw.
Matthew Donaldson: I took my boots off. I just threw 'em in the casino. That was slowing me down. I was faster barefoot and I was gonna be more effective barefoot.  

Bill Whitaker: How did you end up being first responders? Are you assigned to be first responders? Or you just got up and ran in-- into the danger zone and got there first?
Dave Newton: Correct. We heard it over the radio. We heard, you know, active shooter. Multiple victims.

Joshua Bitsko: We're told that security is taking fire from a suspect on the 29th floor. And that we had other officers that were identifying the suspect was in a room on the 32nd floor. So we're thinking multiple shooters at this point.

The three officers zeroed in on the 32nd floor just after a hotel-security guard named Jesus Campos encountered heavy fire--200 rounds shot into the hallway from behind Stephen Paddocks's door.

Officers Bitsko and Newton ran to the stairs. Detective Donaldson and a SWAT officer, Levi Hancock, did too. This ad-hoc group of officers didn't know what they would face, but they soon discovered Paddock had barricaded the stairwell door.
Joshua Bitsko: He had screwed shut the door-- with a piece of metal and some screws.

Matthew Donaldson: In the stairwell.

Joshua Bitsko: In the stairwell going out to the hallway right by his door.


Dave Newton: 'Cause he knew we'd be coming out that door to gain entry into his door. So he tried to barricade it as best he could. But thankfully Levi had-- a pry bar and was able to easily pop that door.

The K9 cops, the detective, and the SWAT officer were now a team.

Bill Whitaker: So essentially you became the SWAT team.

Dave Newton: Uh-huh (affirm)

Bill Whitaker: He had the advantage.

Dave Newton: Yeah, he-- 'cause he knew we were coming and we were gonna have to come through. We didn't know where he was gonna be in that room.

Joshua Bitsko: It's like a deadly game of hide and seek because when you're the one hiding you always know a person's looking for you it's-- before they see you. I remember thinkin', "Man, I wish I had my dog with me," because, you know, it's nice to have him lead a team.

Levi Hancock, the SWAT team member, was armed with explosive charges to blow through doors. Around 11 p.m. the team began to execute a plan.
They had heard no gunfire since reaching the hallway, and had no idea what or who was behind the door.

David Newton had a hand-held ballistic shield.


11 p.m., A FULL HOUR AFTER THE SHOOTING BEGAN, 50 MINUTES AFTER THE SHOOTING HAD CEASED.

ARE WE TO BELIEVE THAT, AFTER AN ENTIRE HOUR THE LVMPD COULD NOT GET A REAL S.W.A.T. TEAM UP THERE TO HANDLE THINGS.?

ARE WE TO BELIEVE THAT TWO K-9 COPS WHO HAD BEEN TRAINING DOGS BEFORE SHOTS WERE FIRED, A BAREFOOT DESK DETECTIVE, AND JUST ONE SWAT-TRAINED OFFICER, JUST 4 MEN, 3 WHO WERE NOT ARMED WITH "ASSAULT WEAPONS" OR RIOT GEAR WERE LEFT ALONE UP THERE TO DEAL WITH POSSIBLY MULTIPLE SHOOTERS?

THAT MAKES LESS THAN NO SENSE AT ALL.


Dave Newton: Now I'm standing out in front of this bullet-ridden door with nothing except for a shield that's, you know, I'm hoping would help a little bit. And-- that was the point I said-- I just start praying that nothing goes off of phone wise or radio or anything else 'cause we're trying to be as quiet as we can 'cause we didn't want him to know we were out there and start spraying at us. And I'm watchin' Levi put the charge on 'em. I'm like, "Hurry, hurry, hurry, but be quiet." And-- so then we got it hung and then we retreated back into the stairwell, blow the door.

Police radio: We need to pop this and see if we can get any type of response from this guy – to see if he is in here or if he's actually moved on somewhere else.

Dispatcher: All units on the 32nd floor SWAT has explosive breach. Everyone in the hallway needs to move back. All units need to move back.

Officer: Breach. Breach. Breach.


ALL UNITS?
ALL UNITS ON THE 32nd FLOOR?

THEN THERE WERE OTHERS THERE, SO WHY DID THEY ALLOW THESE 4 TO MAKE THE INITIAL ASSAULT ON THE ROOM?


Bill Whitaker: So you blow the door open. And what do you hear? Were there fire alarms going off?

Dave Newton: Yes, the fire alarms were going off--

Bill Whitaker: What else did you see?

Dave Newton: I saw a few phones-- laptops, a couple laptops he had in there. A lot of drills-- drill bits, all kinds of tools

Bill Whitaker: This was eerie.

Dave Newton: Very eerie. Yeah. The dust from the explosive breach. And then you have the flashing lights. And that looked straight-- like, out of a movie, you know? I did notice a note on the nightstand near his shooting platform. I could see on it he had written the distance, the elevation he was on, the drop of what his bullet was gonna be for the crowd. So he had had that written down and figured out so he would know where to shoot to hit his targets from there.

Bill Whitaker: What were the numbers? I am just trying to understand, were they calculations?
Dave Newton: Yeah, he had written we must have done the calculations online or something to figure out what his altitude was going to be and how high up he was-- how far out the crowd was going to be and what at that distance and what the drop of his bullet was going to be. He hadn't written out the calculations all he had was written out the final numbers that were on the sheet.

Bill Whitaker: Wow.


WOW INDEED!
WHEN HAD PADDOCK MEASURED ALL THOSE THINGS?
THAT WOULD TAKE SOME FAIRLY ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS, WOULDN'T IT?
HOW WOULD THIS K-9 OFFICER IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZE THOSE  FIGURES AS ELEVATION OF THAT HOTEL ROOM, DISTANCE TO THE CONCERT GROUNDS?
HAD HE MEASURED OFF ALL THOSE DISTANCES, ELEVATION, ANGLES?


IF ALL THERE WAS ON THE SHEET WERE SOME NUMBERS, WHAT A GENIUS THIS K-9 OFFICER IS TO HAVE FIGURED OUT IN SECONDS WHAT THOSE NUMBERS WERE. 

WHAT HE SAYS GOES AGAINST ALL REPORTS FROM SHERIFF LOMBARDO OVER THE COURSE OF 6 DAYS THAT STATED THE FBI AND THE LVMPD STILL HADN'T DECIPHERED THAT NOTE. 

“Lombardo said that it contained numbers that were being analyzed for their relevance, and that it was not a manifesto or suicide note,” the Times reported.

DO MAKE NOTE THAT LOMBARDO HAD SAID JUST THE DAY BEFORE THIS INTERVIEW THAT THE NOTE WAS STILL BEING ANALYZED, SO  WHAT THIS OFFICER SAID HAD TO HAVE BEEN PURE CONJECTURE ON HIS PART, OR ELSE HE WAS SPEAKING FROM KNOWLEDGE THE LVMPD HAS THAT THEY ARE NOT SHARING WITH THE PRESS.

Bill Whitaker: Did you go to the window? Did you look out?

Joshua Bitsko: No. Because I know that S.W.A.T. had deployed snipers also. So I didn't wanna put my silhouette in front of a window-- because communication was still horrendous at that point.

SWAT HAD DEPLOYED SNIPERS?
WHERE?
IF SWAT HAD SNIPERS DEPLOYED, WHY HADN'T SWAT DEPLOYED A REAL TEAM TO THAT HOTEL TO TAKE OVER INSTEAD OF THIS PIECEMEAL TEAM?

COMMUNICATION WAS HORRENDOUS?
THEN HOW DID HE KNOW ABOUT THE SNIPERS?
RADIOS WERE ON, WE CAN LISTEN TO OVER 60 MINUTES OF THE CHATTER.
IT'S A VERY CLEAR AUDIO.
WHAT WOULD MAKE COMMUNICATION "HORRENDOUS" WHEN THE SHOOTING HAD STOPPED?

HE ALREADY SAID THEY HAD CALLED "BREACH" AS THEY WERE GOING TO BLOW THE DOOR.
IF THEY KNEW THAT, WHAT PREVENTED THEM FROM TELLING SWAT SNIPERS THAT THE SHOOTER WAS DOWN AND THE SUITE WAS CLEARED?


Bill Whitaker: Detective Donaldson, you came in and went through to the other room.

Matthew Donaldson: Yeah.

Bill Whitaker: What did you see?

Matthew Donaldson:
It was still very much in my brain there's 50 other dudes in here somewhere. You know, we were still clearing that room, the curtains, moving the curtains. I wanted to make sure somebody wasn't hiding between the windows and the curtains. It's a very small bedroom. Cleared the bathroom, cleared the shower. Came back out. They had to breach the other door on the other side.

WHAT 'OTHER' DOOR, WHAT OTHER SIDE?

And then -- once that scene was static it was -- it was essentially a crime scene. It was, like, stop what you're doing. Get out.

Bill Whitaker: It seems that he chose the tactically perfect and horrible spot for him to be able to rain down death on the people below him.

Dave Newton: Yeah, he did his homework.

Joshua Bitsko: Days of planning. Days of planning. He had tool boxes in power tools to run wires for his-- surveillance systems. For everything that he had, it took him days to finish.

DAYS?
IT TOOK HIM DAYS? 

BUT TIME MAGAZINE REPORTED ON OCT. 5 THAT PADDOCK HAD NOT MOVED INTO THAT ROOM UNTIL SATURDAY, THE DAY BEFORE THE SHOOTING.

EVEN
IF HE MOVED IN SATURDAY MORNING, THAT GAVE HIM MAYBE 36 HOURS IN THAT ROOM UNTIL 10:00 p.m. SUNDAY NIGHT.

HE HAD STAYED FREE OF CHARGE IN ANOTHER ROOM FOR 3 DAYS, THEN MOVED TO THE ROOM HE WAS FOUND DEAD IN ON SATURDAY. HE HAD PAID FOR THAT LAST ROOM, HAD APPARENTLY REQUESTED IT IN ADVANCE.
HE WAS AT THE HOTEL A TOTAL OF 5 DAYS.

THAT GAVE HIM 24-36 HOURS TO DO "DAYS" WORTH OF WORK INSIDE THAT NEW ROOM, ROOM 135.
THE MAN MUST HAVE BEEN A "SUPERMAN" TO DO ALL THAT ALONE AND WITHOUT BEING DISCOVERED IN JUST 24-36 HOURS.


Bill Whitaker: The sheriff was saying the other day that it -- it almost appeared as though he thought he would be able to get out of this, that he had an escape plan. Did you see any evidence of that?

Dave Newton: From what I saw, it -- I thought he was gonna -- he -- his plan might have been to shoot it out with us. Because there was a rifle on a bipod near the door and just the amount of ammunition and weapons he had. He could of held us off for hours.

THE INTERVIEW TURNS TO LOMBARDO.
Las Vegas Sheriff Joseph Lombardo traveled to Mumbai, India, after the 2008 terrorist attacks that targeted numerous sites including hotels across the city. Hundreds were killed and wounded. Lombardo learned a key lesson: officers should immediately react to stop a shooter at any cost. His department has made that a pillar of its training ever since.

Bill Whitaker: Was this the scenario, the horror you had trained for?

Joseph Lombardo: Absolutely, cause that's how we train them And through all that experience and knowledge and training that we put together -- a team was immediately formed, acting on their own without supervisory direction -- Get a group of officers together as fast as you can. And immediately address the threat to cease the action.

BUT THEY DIDN'T...THEY WAITED AN HOUR BEFORE THEY BROKE INTO THAT ROOM.

No one knows when Paddock committed suicide, but the shooting stopped shortly after security guard Campos and the first of Sheriff Lombardo's officers arrived on the 32nd floor.

Bill Whitaker: Your guys got up there in, like, 12 minutes.

Joseph Lombardo: Twelve minutes. Twelve minutes. And--

Bill Whitaker: Up on the thirty-second floor--

Joseph Lombardo: You know, and during a critical incident, 12 minutes is a long time, you know? Could you imagine being in a fistfight for 12 minutes? It's a very long time. But when you step back and you evaluate it after the fact, it's a s-- very short period of time for th-- to get the intelligence, figure out what the hell is going on-- put a team together. Go up 32 floors and evaluate the situation. I think they prevented a thousand deaths. And I think it's important for the American public to understand that."   

ON OCT.6, 2017,

Senior law enforcement officials told NBC News that they have made two discoveries in Paddock's 32nd-floor hotel room that they currently cannot explain.

The first is a cell phone charger that does not match any of the devices that belonged to the gunman.

The second is a hotel record showing that one of Paddock's key cards was used to access his room while his car was outside of the hotel's parking garage.
(POLICE NOW SAY THEY FOUND THAT PHONE.]



THE FOLLOWING ODDITY' WAS REPORTED BY MOST MAJOR NEWS MEDIA ON OCT. 6.
The hotel suite of Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock was accessed after his car left the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino’s garage area.


THE OFFICERS SPOKE OF THE SERVICE CART OUTSIDE PADDOCK'S DOOR AS DID OTHER NEWS REPORTS:
"To the right of the doors was a room service cart, covered with empty plates. Paddock set up another camera on the cart to watch the hall."

WHO PUT THE CART IN THE HALLWAY AND WHY WOULD IT BE LEFT THERE BY HOTEL STAFF
?   



A GUEST WHO WAS "A FEW DOORS DOWN" FROM ROOM 135 SAID IN AN INTERVIEW:  
“I was actually watching the rest of the Sunday Night Football game and had gone to sleep,” he told WXIA-TV Atlanta. “Right around ten o’clock I woke up to the sounds of gunshots. Initially, I had kinda thought that it may have been some fireworks…and then it just kept going and going and going.”

After calling down to the desk, Morgan said hotel staff instructed him to barricade himself inside his room — explaining that they were aware of a “situation” on his floor and to remain calm.

“I could hear the police making their way up the hallway and they were basically breaking down the doors — opening the doors aggressively,” Morgan recounted. “Six or seven SWAT guys came in and just made sure that I wasn’t a bad person – that I was doing what I was supposed to be doing.
They ushered us out and told us to run as far and as fast as we could to get away.”

WAIT RIGHT THERE!
THERE IS AN ACTIVE SHOOTER INSIDE THE BUILDING BUT THEY ARE ADVISED BY POLICE TO RUN FROM THE BUILDING?
COULDN'T THAT GET THEM SHOT BY POLICE OUTSIDE EXPECTING A GUNMAN TO RUN FROM THAT BUILDING?


Once down on the ground, Morgan — who is from the Atlanta suburb of Lawrenceville — said he saw an “astronomical number” of police officers, but nobody offered details about what happened.   

HERE ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE RUNNING OUT OF A BUILDING WHERE A KNOWN SHOOTER WAS AND THEY AREN'T PUT ON THE GROUND IN HANDCUFFS WHILE BEING FRISKED FOR WEAPONS?

THEN THERE WERE THE MANY REPORTS FROM THOSE WHO WERE TRYING TO ESCAPE THE CONCERT THAT ALL EXITS WERE BLOCKED, AND ONE COUPLE EVEN STATED THAT SOMEONE FROM LVMPD BLOCKED THEIR EXIT AND TOLD THEM TO GO BACK.

WHY WOULD THAT HAPPEN?
WHY WOULD AN OFFICER SEND THEM BACK TO A 'KILLING FIELD'? 

WAS THAT REALLY A POLICE OFFICER OR AN ACCOMPLICE?

THERE ARE TOO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS, TOO MANY SAYING THERE WAS A LOT OF WRONG MOVES BY LVMPD.

ONE DOESN'T HAVE TO REALLY LOOK HARD AT ALL TO SEE ALL THE HOLES, ALL THE DISCREPANCIES, ALL THE LOOSE ENDS, AND IT'S BEEN 12 DAYS NOW, BUT 12 DAYS OF CHANGED STORIES, NEW ADDITIONS, LIKE THE MAINTENANCE MAN, WHO HAD NEVER BEEN MENTIONED THAT FIRST WEEK. 
SOMEONE SEEMS TO BE IGNORING A LOT OF "CLUES", FROM PEOPLE WHO WERE ON THE GROUND, ON THAT SAME FLOOR, ON THE POLICE FORCE, ALL WHO STATED THERE WERE MULTIPLE SHOOTERS.

WHY IGNORE SO MANY SAYING THE SAME THING?

AS I WROTE IN MY PREVIOUS BLOG ABOUT THIS, EVEN LOMBARDO STATED PUBLICLY THAT HE DID NOT SEE HOW PADDOCK COULD HAVE ACTED COMPLETELY ALONE.

THEN WHY NOT START FROM THERE?

THE FBI HAS ALSO DROPPED THE BALL.
MANY ARE POINTING TO THEIR INEPTITUDE AS WELL AND CRITICIZING THE FBI HEAD, ROUSE, FOR HIS HANDLING OF THE WHOLE AFFAIR. 


IS THE FBI DRAGGING ITS FEET TO COVER UP SOMETHING THEY DID OR DIDN'T DO IN VEGAS? 

NOTHING ADDS UP.

'POSTSCRIPTS':

AS I MENTIONED, FAKE NEWS CENTRAL, CNN reported that in addition to his frequent forays into casinos and gun shops, Paddock took 20 cruises, many of them in Europe and the Middle East. In addition to stops at ports in Spain, Italy, Greece, the cruises also stopped in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates, according to information provided by a law enforcement source.

CNN noted the source was unable to provide “cruise line involved, the type of cruises, when they occurred or the couple’s reason for travel.”


IT'S BEEN 7 DAYS SINCE THAT CRAP WAS "REPORTED" AND MAJOR MEDIA HAVE CEASED REPORTING IT, ALL BUT CNN.

THOUSANDS OF DEAD SHARKS, RAYS, SEA BASS, HALIBUT AND OTHERS, BAY AREA MYSTERY


IT'S HAPPENED BEFORE, BUT NOT LIKE THIS.

In 2011 more than 1,000 dead sharks were counted along the Redwood Shores Lagoon and along Richardson Bay, in Marin County in the last major die off.  However, recurring die off events have been recorded in the Bay, including one in Berkeley in 2016.

SOME SCIENTISTS ARE BLAMING LOW SALINITY AND POINTING TO THE DATA ABOVE TO JUSTIFY THAT, BUT AS ANYONE CAN SEE, LOW SALINITY WAS ALSO A PROBLEM, AND WAS EVEN LOWER THAN THIS YEAR, IN 1983, 1986, AND WAS AS LOW AS OR ONLY SLIGHTLY HIGHER IN 1995 AND 1998.
..NO MASS DIE-OFFS THEN.   


BUT THERE WERE MANY OTHERS:

So far this year, we've seen 380 KNOWN mass animal die-offs, spread across 73 different countries.
That's fewer than last year, but we have 3 more months left.

In 2016, there were 556 KNOWN die-offs in 81 countries.
In 2015 there were 828 known 'events' in 96 countries.
In 2014 there were 651 known 'mass animal deaths' in 76 countries,
and in 2013 there were 798 in 93 countries.
In 2012 there were 465 reported from 67 countries.  

I'VE SHOWN YOU THOSE STATISTICS, THE DAMNABLE "PEER-REVIEWED STUDIES", ETC, SINCE 2011.
IT'S REAL.

HUNDREDS OF THOSE EVENTS INVOLVED MILLIONS OF MARINE DEATHS AT ONE TIME: MILLIONS OF ANCHOVIES, SARDINES, JELLYFISH, STAR FISH, SEA URCHINS, MUSSELS, CLAMS, HERRING, OTHER FOOD FISH, OTHER CRUSTACEANS, SHELLFISH, ETC.

HUNDREDS OF THOSE EVENTS INVOLVE MANY THOUSANDS OF MARINE DEATHS: SNAPPER, FLOUNDER, SALMON, SEA TROUT, SEA BIRDS, TURTLES, SEALS, SEA LIONS, ETC.

THE REST INVOLVED PERHAPS "ONLY" HUNDREDS OR "JUST" DOZENS:
WHALES, DOLPHINS, MANATEE, WALRUSES, POLAR BEARS....

ADD THOSE UP AND SEE THE GREAT LOSS?   

ONE RESEARCHER CLAIMS TO HAVE FOUND THE CAUSE OF THE BAY AREA DEATHS, BUT ADMITS THAT NOT ALL NECROPSIES SHOWED THIS ORGANISM. 

IT ISN'T 'RED TIDE', NOR IS EL NINO TO BLAME.
IT ISN'T ANY OF THE 'USUAL SUSPECTS'.  

They say it could be the same infection that’s killing mako sharks this year… but the question remains, why is the infection making its way through different shark species?” — Sean Van Sommeran, Pelagic Shark Research Foundation executive director: “Let’s see if we can exactly identify what appears to be a new type of brain infection — first of its kind, documented in a Great White shark like that.”

AND IT'S SEEN IN SEA LIONS, COASTAL BIRDS, IN MORE THAN ONE LOCATION. 
KKFX FOX 11 transcript, Apr 22, 2017: A local rescue group is getting flooded with calls about sick or dead sea lions showing up on Santa Barbara beaches… Sick and confused, dozens of sea lions are appearing on Santa Barbara beaches with signs of brain damage. Samuel Dover, Channel Islands Marine & Wildlife Institute: “Normally we see injured animals about 1 or 2 here or there… Last Friday we got over 100 calls per day about sea lions in distress.”

Ventura County Reporter, Apr 26, 2017: Since the beginning of April, beachgoers have reported numerous sightings of discombobulated sea lions and sickly birds… “It has been pretty intense,” said [California State University, Channel Islands, Assistant Professor of Biology Allison Alvarado,] “It was like thousands of birds were being found”

NO, IT WASN'T THE HANDY DOMOIC ACID POISONING.  
BTW, THIS IS THE
6th YEAR FOR MASS SEA LION AND BIRD DIE-OFFS


ABOVE AND BELOW PHOTOS: DEAD BAT RAYS WERE ADDED TO THIS YEAR'S DIE-OFF.
...

Authorities say unusually high numbers of stranded or dead marine mammals and birds have shown up in spots throughout the Southern California coast in recent weeks. Federal and state agencies are working to document the scope of affected wildlife and mortalities.
Tests are underway to determine the cause of illness and death… they become sick, suffer from seizures and brain damage… The CIMWI hotline started getting about 100 calls on Friday and pretty much every day since, Dover said… [D]olphins have been impacted
“This is the worst year we have ever seen,” Dover said. Beachgoers also have reported large numbers of dead and dying birds.

Santa Barbara Independent, Apr 25, 2017:
Since the beginning of April, Julia Parker has seen 216 sick pelagic birds come into the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network. There were only four in February, and three in March… Many more have been found dead on nearby beaches. Pelagic birds live their lives on the ocean. “They only beach themselves if there’s something wrong: if… they’re emaciated and starving,” explained Parker, the network’s Director of Animal Affairs.

ONE OF THE SIMPLEST ORGANISMS ON EARTH, A SINGLE-CELL PROTOZOAN LIKE THE SUSPECTED MIAMIENZIS AVIDUS, SHOWN ABOVE, IS COMPLETELY UNCHANGED FROM SPECIMENS OF MILLIONS OF YEARS AGO.

THE SAME CAN BE SAID OF EARTH'S SHARKS, THE BASIC DESIGN HAS BEEN UNCHANGED.

SO, SINCE BOTH HAVE CO-EXISTED FOR MILLENIA, WHY NOW, WHY REPEATED MASS DIE-OFFS FOR JUST THE PAST 10-20 YEARS?
I FIND THAT INTERESTING, THAT NEITHER ORGANISM HAS 'EVOLVED' INTO SOMETHING NEW IN MILLIONS OF YEARS, GIVEN THAT THE ABOVE ONE-CELLED FELLOW IS SUPPOSED TO BE A RELATIVE OF THE HUMAN SPECIES.

WHEN MIGHT WE EXPECT TO SEE THEM 'EVOLVE' INTO HIGHER FORMS OF LIFE, SINCE NEITHER THEY NOR SHARKS HAVE DONE SO IN BILLIONS, MILLIONS OF YEARS?  
HAD THIS BEEN ABOUT BACTERIA, WE COULD HAVE WONDERED THE SAME THING...WHEN, OH, WHEN WILL THEY RISE UP AND WALK LIKE MEN?
BUT I DIGRESS...

NOTE THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY HEALTHY YOUNG SPECIMEN. 


NBC NEWS
OCT. 5,2017    

“This year is unusual in that there has been a large number of other species that have also been dying,” said Dr. Mark Okihiro, a research scientist with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. “This pathogen can tackle a variety of different species … we've had a much more diverse group of fish that have been found dead in the San Francisco Bay.”

At least 500 bat rays, hundreds of striped bass, 50 smooth-hound sharks and about 100 halibut died in the bay between February and July, according to Okihiro’s estimates.

Okihiro now believes a parasite may be behind the mysterious die-off that has plagued the Bay Area.

“We're pretty confident at this point,” Okihiro said. “It's called Miamiensis avidus … it's a small single celled organism. It's very similar to the common amoeba.”

The deadly pathogen sneaks in through the shark’s nose and slowly eats away at the brain, Okihiro says, oftentimes causing sharks to beach themselves or swim in circles. A leopard shark, exhibiting that very behavior, was spotted just outside the ballpark during a recent San Francisco Giants game and was likely in the process of dying.

Okihiro estimates 1,000 to 2,000 leopard sharks have died in the bay so far this year, however, he concedes the death toll could actually be higher.

“The sharks you see on shore are just a small fraction of the sharks that are actually dying in the bay,” he said."Sharks are not naturally buoyant. Unless they are actively swimming, their bodies sink. As a result, infected sharks that die in deep water may never actually wash up on shore."

“I think it’s almost certain that the number of sharks that have died are much higher,” said Dr. Andrew Nosal,
a marine biologist at UC San Diego and a top expert on leopard sharks, the main species that has washed up dead in the bay. “We have to find out what’s killing these sharks.”

Nosal’s ongoing research centers on the migration patterns of leopard sharks. He says it is crucial the state dedicate resources towards investigating the cause of the sharks’ mysterious demise.

“If you remove leopard sharks from the population, it is going to have a chain reaction,” Nosal said. “They’re eating other things and other things are eating them.”
“If we don’t find out, then there’s nothing we can do about it,” he said.

While Nosal says he is concerned that other species are now dying, he also fears the threat could spread to other ecosystems along the West Coast.

“It’s isolated in San Francisco [Bay], but are we going to start seeing this up and down the coast of California?”

For now, no one knows for certain.

“I think that’s what the scariest part is,” Nosal said.

Humans who swim in the Bay or eat infected sea life are unlikely to become infected. 
"UNLIKELY"? HOW UNLIKELY?

FROM THE MERCURY NEWS

May 15, 2017


In March, the bay water near San Francisco International Airport was so diluted from this winter’s storms that its salinity hit 9 parts per thousand — the lowest during any March in 31 years, and far below the historic March average of 21 parts per thousand, according to Jim Cloern, a research ecologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park who has studied the bay since 1976.

“I don’t think we should be surprised that these extreme events that very rapidly flush sea salts out of the bay have effects on organisms,” Cloern said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if there have been die-offs of other species, like oysters and clams.”

But all the rain rushing in from the Delta and Bay Area rivers also helped clean the bay by scouring old mercury, DDT and PCBs in bay mud out to the ocean, Cloern said. And it brought in sand and mud to build marshes for ducks, geese, shorebirds and fish.

Cloern predicts that the leopard shark population will recover fairly quickly.

But others working on the issue say even if that occurs, the die-off raises big questions about whether bayfront communities should rescue sharks trapped behind tidal gates and the role human pollution is playing in contributing to the fungal blooms.

“There are so many of them dying,” said Sean van Sommeran, executive director of the Pelagic Shark Research Foundation, a Santa Cruz nonprofit that has collected many of the dead sharks. “They are attractive. They don’t bite people. They are the nicest shark you are going to find.”

Fresh water also could have disrupted the sharks’ health on its own, said Jim Hobbs, a research scientist at UC Davis who has studied the bay’s leopard sharks for the past seven years.

Hobbs noted that leopard sharks do best when the salinity of water is about 20 to 25 parts per thousand, a level typical of San Francisco Bay in most years. But when the sharks are exposed to water below 15 parts per thousand for more than three weeks — as it has been this year — the sharks weaken, studies show.

“They go from being able to regulate their internal salt content to not being able to,” Hobbs said. “It causes a whole variety of impairments. They can’t excrete toxins that build up in their bodies.” 

NOTE AS YOU READ THAT OTHERS DO NOT AGREE WITH HIS ASSESSMENT.
THEY SAY FRESH WATER HELPS REMOVE TOXINS.
THERE ARE PLENTY OF TOXINS OUT THERE.


State Snubs Shark Research, Prioritizes Funding to Higher-Risk Wildlife
  

The NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit requested an interview with the department’s director, Charlton Bonham, to discuss the “leopard shark die-off” and the “agency’s overall involvement in the issue, including funding.”

However, the department’s public relations manager, Deputy Director Jordan Traverso, said Gabe Tiffany, Deputy Director of Administration, would be the best person to answer those questions.
Gabe Tiffany is Deputy Director of Administration for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, overseeing the budget and accounting .

During the interview, Tiffany could not answer how much money the department currently allocates towards researching the recent die-off, nor could he answer specific questions about the state’s involvement in the research effort.

Following the interview, the department confirmed it is not currently providing any funding towards investigating the shark deaths.

While the state Legislature and governor could approve additional funds for shark research in the future, Traverso said the California Department of Fish and Wildlife will continue to dedicate its current resources to higher-risk wildlife.

“Some of the current priorities include implementing the Marine Life Protection Act and establishing and monitoring Marine Protected Areas, rebuilding impacted fisheries (Chinook salmon in-river and the ocean, red urchin, red abalone), addressing the kelp die-off along the north-central and north coast, and implementing a different water management scheme to provide healthier fish populations in the Central Valley rivers, Delta, and San Francisco Bay,” Traverso said in a statement.”

Leopard sharks are not a threatened or endangered species. In fact, they are some of the most abundant sharks off the California coast.

However, Nosal said that makes them canaries in a sort of Bay Area coal mine since their abundant population appears to be making them especially vulnerable.

“When they die and wash ashore, it’s pretty obvious,” he said. “We see it. But what about all the other species that, perhaps, are getting sick and dying and simply sinking to the bottom that we just don’t know about? There’s a lot more at stake here than just leopard sharks.” 

WHY THIS YEAR AND WHY IS IT THIS BAD? 

The protozoa is a common parasite in fish, affecting a wide variety of species.
It’s probably present and well-adapted to some kind of fish that already lives in the Bay,
Dr. Mark Okhiro says, perhaps a rockfish or perch species.

What caused it to affect sharks so particularly in 2006, 2011, and 2017?
What was different this year?


If you lived through the Bay Area winter this year, you may guess at the answer: it rained a lot this year. It also rained a lot in 2011, and 2006.
That much rain adds at least two more variables to the mix. There was a huge freshwater surge into the Bay that lowered the salinity of the water, particularly in the slow-circulating South Bay.

Warner Chabot, the executive director at the San Francisco Estuary Institute, suggested in an email to reporters and conservation groups that salinity levels were as low in the South Bay this year as they’ve been in decades. Low salinity might have weakened the sharks’ immune systems, causing the parasite to take hold with greater ferocity than normal. “The 2017 low salinity anomaly may have increased the stress on leopard sharks,” Chabot wrote, “and should be considered as a factor for this year’s dramatic decline.”

It’s not just low salinity, though. All that runoff contributes huge influxes of human pollutants into the Bay: personal care products, pesticides, motor oil, heavy metals. Leopard sharks gather in large numbers and swim into shallower, more stagnant water in the spring, just as those contaminants are flushed in.

But if the die-off did have something to do with salinity or contaminant exposure, it’ll be hard to tell.
A California Department of Fish and Wildlife press statement in late May concluded that in either case, it “will be largely beyond our ability alone to address.”

It turns out that there are a number of unanswered questions, and not much funding out there to answer them.

Talk to a shark researcher and they’ll point out: sharks might be popular, but research into them generally isn’t funded accordingly.
Okihiro’s main job is to inspect white sea bass hatcheries in Southern California; he’s the statewide lead on shark strandings because there’s overlap between the diseases that infect the sea bass and the diseases that infect the sharks. Yet to sort out the complex dance of contaminants, environmental conditions, behavior, biology, and pathogens that killed these sharks might take dozens of researchers attacking the problem, and funding to match.

“The problem is, every researcher would like more funding,” Okihiro says. “The drought has chewed up a huge part of the Fish and Wildlife budget, so there’s very little left to the pie to slice up for other projects. I’m appreciative that there’s more interest, and Fish and Wildlife has recognized that this is a serious problem that needs looking at. But right now I think we’ll have to try and let the dust settle and see what we would like to do going forward.”                

May 15, 2017
Leopard sharks have been found dead on beaches in Foster City, Hayward, San Francisco, Berkeley and other locations.


And the deaths show no signs of slowing down.

“They appear to be stranding themselves,” said Joshua Porter, a marine biologist with the East Bay Regional Park District. “Park users have pushed them back in the water, but in all reality they are going to die, or work their way back to the sand. When they beach themselves, there’s no coming back from it.”
Some leopard sharks live in the deeper parts of the bay, while others come and go from the ocean through the Golden Gate. Every spring and into the early summer, they congregate in shallow bay waters to breed and give birth.

The Leopard Shark and Bat Ray Die-Off Project at iNaturalist has many photos of affected species.
There is also a way anyone who finds affected marine life can upload photos there.


IN LOOKING AT HUNDREDS OF PHOTOS AND READING MORE IN DEPTH ABOUT THIS, I DID NOT FIND MENTION OR PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE OF SOME THINGS THAT ARE QUITE SPECIFIC TO THIS PARTICULAR PROTOZOA.
I DON'T FIND ANY MENTION, EVEN, OF THE HIGHLIGHTED SYMPTOMS BELOW:

Dis Aquat Organ. 2009 Feb 12
;83(2):133-43. doi: 10.3354/dao02017.

Pathogenicity of Miamiensis avidus (M. avidus, syn. Philasterides dicentrarchi), Pseudocohnilembus persalinus, Pseudocohnilembus hargisi and Uronema marinum (Ciliophora, Scuticociliatida).

ABSTRACT:
M. avidus strain Mie0301 from the Mie prefecture in Japan caused 70% mortality by immersion infection with 4.4 x 10(3) ml(-1) in 30 to 40 g fish.

The predominant sign was severe abdominal distension in i.p.-injected fish, and extensive ulcer lesions in the skeletal muscle in immersion-infected fish.
Numerous ciliates were observed in the ascetic fluid, ulcers, haemorrhagic lesions, gills and brain of infected fish.

However, P. persalinus (strain SCL-A), P. hargisi (strain SCL-B) and U. marinum (strain JK3) showed less than 30% mortality from both i.p. and immersion challenges, with no ciliate invasion in the skin, gills or brain.

M. avidus-infected fish showed many ciliates in gills, fins, skin muscle, brain and intestine accompanied by necrosis and haemorrhages.

However, no histological changes were observed in P. persalinus-, P. hargisi- or U. marinum-infected fish.


EITHER WE WEREN'T TOLD ABOUT NECROPSIES FINDING SUCH SPECIFIC-TO-M. AVIDUS LESIONS, ETC, OR THEY DIDN'T EXIST, WHICH WOULD PERHAPS RULE OUT THIS PROTOZOA AS THE CAUSE OF THESE DEATHS.

THAT THE ONE DOING THE ON-SITE NECROPSIES AND DOING THEM AT HOME MADE NO MENTION OF THIS IS SURPRISING.

IN RESEARCHING HOW HUMANS ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THIS PROTOZOA WHEN WE ARE DEFINITELY SUSCEPTIBLE TO MANY OTHERS, I DON'T FIND MUCH DATA ON THAT.     


In a research paper entitled, "Ranching of Southern Bluefin Tuna in Australia", found this:

Uronema nigricans, more recently identified as Miamiensis avidus (Nowak et al., 2013), is a scuticociliate parasite that causes fish mortality through “swimmers disease,” a disease causing SBFT to swim erratically with sharp head movements at the water’s surface. SBFT tend to be infected with this parasite when water temperatures are low. The reservoir(s) for this parasite is unknown.

What Are Protozoa?

Protozoa are one of the three main classes of parasites that cause diseases in humans. They are single-celled organism, and can only be seen under a microscope. When they invade a human they are able to multiply easily, which causes them to be at a great advantage and puts humans at a disadvantage. This helps them survive in the human body and causes a serious infection even with the arrival of a single protozoon.

Infections caused by protozoa are contagious. Those protozoa that have inhabited the human intestine can be transmitted from one human to the other via the fecal-oral route, such as through sharing food the infected person has touched and through direct person to person contact. Protozoa living in the blood or tissue can be transmitted through a third source such as a mosquito. Infections are easily transmitted and persons carrying this parasite should avoid interactions with others, especially those with compromised and weakened immune systems.

There are four main groups of protozoa that cause infection in humans. They have been grouped according to how they move: the sarcodina (ameba), mastigophora (flagellates), ciliophora (ciliates) and the Sporozoa.

“The Ocean is Dying”: Marine and Animal Life Die Offs


"Mass die-offs of certain animals has increased in frequency every year for seven decades, according to a new study.

Researchers found that such events, which can kill more than 90 per cent of a population, are increasing among birds, fish and marine invertebrates.

The reasons for the die-offs are diverse, with effects tied to humans such as environmental contamination accounting for about a fifth of them.

More than a fifth of the dolphins also suffered bacterial pneumonia, causing deadly lung infection that is likewise rarely seen in dolphin populations.

Radioactivity in the Ocean: Diluted, But Far from Harmless - YALE UNIVERSITY


MAINSTREAM MEDIA ADMITTED IT AGAIN BACK IN 2011... 


Nuclear Power Causes Cancer: What Industry Doesn’t Want You To Know

Now, after half a century of a large-scale experiment with nuclear power, the verdict is in: nuclear reactors cause cancer.

The claim that low doses of radiation are harmless has always been just a claim. It led to practices like routine diagnostic X-rays to the pelvis of pregnant women, until the work of the University of Oxford’s Dr. Alice Stewart found that these X-rays doubled the chance that the fetus would die of cancer as a child

Many studies later, independent experts agreed that no dose is safe. A 2005 report by a blue-ribbon panel of the National Academy of Sciences reviewed hundreds of scientific articles, and concluded that there is no risk-free dose of radiation.

One study showed child cancer exceeded the national rate near 14 of 14 plants in the eastern U.S. Another showed that when U.S. nuclear plants closed, local infant deaths and child cancer cases plunged immediately after shutdown.

Other publications have shown rising levels of radioactive Strontium-90, emitted by reactors, in baby teeth of children living near reactors, which were closely linked with trends in childhood cancer rates. 

The young aren’t the only ones affected by reactor emissions. 

New evidence has examined adult rates of thyroid cancer, a disease especially sensitive to radiation. Thyroid cancer is the fastest-rising cancer in the U.S., nearly tripling since 1980.

This evidence proves that most U.S. counties with the highest thyroid cancer rates are within a 90-mile radius covering eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and southern New York.
This area has 16 nuclear reactors (13 still in operation) at 7 plants, the densest concentration of reactors in the U.S. 

FROM CAPE COD TIMES:
MARCH 20, 2014

Expert: Cancer rates are high near Pilgrim nuke plant.


“In the first two years, we found an excess of leukemia in Plymouth and towns around Pilgrim,” he said. “There was a fourfold excess of leukemia in people who lived or worked near the plant.”  

FROM THE U.K., A DOCUMENTARY WHICH STATED THAT "
Cancer levels in women living close to a former nuclear power station are more than 15 times higher than the national average. "

Researchers focused on almost 1,000 people of all ages living in three communities close to the closed-down power plant.

The questionnaire asked about cancer within the targeted households during the 1996 to 2005 period.

The survey results are broadcast in the Y Byd ar Bedwar programme on S4C, the Welsh medium fourth channel in Wales and via Sky Channel 135.  

"Trawsfynydd Lake covers almost 5 square km. It is artificial and the lake-bottom sediment down to a depth of 300 mm is known to be highly contaminated with a mean concentration of 4 million Becquerels per tonne of radioactivity.

"This is more than 10 times the concentration which under UK legislation is defined as Low Level Radioactive Waste requiring control."

Former environment minister Michael Meacher described the findings as a "sensational development".

In the programme he calls for a full independent inquiry into the findings. 

MARINE ANIMALS DON'T ONLY LIVE CLOSE TO COASTAL NUCLEAR PLANTS, LIKE HUMANS WHO CAN MOVE ELSEWHERE, THEY LIVE IN THE WATER CONTAMINATED BY YEARS OF 'NUCLEAR TESTING' OF ATOMIC BOMBS, IN SEAS WHERE OLD NUCLEAR REACTORS AND OLD NUCLEAR SUBMARINES HAVE BEEN SUNKEN FOR DECADES, WHERE COUNTRIES LIKE FRANCE AND THE U.S. HAVE BEEN FOUND DUMPING NUCLEAR WASTE EVEN AFTER IT BECAME ILLEGAL TO DO SO.
IT'S CHEAPER TO DUMP IN THE OCEAN THAN PAY FOR WASTE TREATMENT AND BURIAL AND MONITORING FOR 10,000 YEARS OR MORE, AS TEPCO POINTED OUT TO THE JAPANESE OFFICIALS.


MARINE ANIMALS ARE IN THAT TOXIC MESS 24 HOURS A DAY, EVERY DAY, ALL THEIR LIVES.


WHERE DO YOU THINK THE WATER THAT CIRCULATES THROUGH A REACTOR'S FUEL RODS GOES, AND WHERE GOES THE 'VENTINGS' THAT ALL POWER PLANTS ARE ALLOWED?  
LOOK AT FUKUSHIMA NUKE PLANT, DUMPING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF TONS OF HIGHLY RADIOACTIVE WASTE INTO THE PACIFIC EVERY SINGLE DAY.

MARINE ANIMALS GET CANCER, TOO, FROM RADIATION, AS WAS DEMONSTRATED BY THE FEW NECROPSIES DONE ON BABY SEA LIONS LAST YEAR...ALL THAT WERE TESTED HAD LEUKEMIA.
I REPORTED THAT WHEN THE 'STUDY' WAS RELEASED, WHEN THEY STOPPED TESTING.

I POSTED PHOTOS OF SEVERAL MARINE SPECIES WITH LESIONS, TUMORS, WOUNDS THAT LOOK JUST LIKE RADIATION BURNS, INTERNAL ORGANS EATEN AWAY, TURNED INTO A SOUP,  AND A COUPLE OF CANADIAN SCIENTISTS SAID IT LOOKED LIKE CANCER...THEN SILENCE.


EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO THEIR OWN BELIEFS ABOUT THIS.
MAYBE WHAT THE PRESS HAS BEEN TOLD, NOT TO SCARE THE PUBLIC, NOT TO PANIC THE MASSES WITH TRUTH AND FACTS IS CORRECT.

SOME WILL REACT WITH FEAR, SO MUCH FEAR THAT IT DEMANDS DENIAL.   

I CHOOSE NOT TO FEAR BUT TO BE PROPERLY INFORMED.

I ALSO CHOOSE TO MAKE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT:

'Global warming' cannot possibly be blamed for ALL of these deaths. 

OF COURSE naturally occuring things happen to cause marine deaths.


However...

MANKIND can be blamed for overuse and carelessness.

INDUSTRY can be blamed for greed, intentional destruction of the environment and all in it and negligence.

RADIATION can be blamed everywhere a nuclear reactor leaks, wherever one has been dumped into the sea as so many were up in the Arctic Circle.

POLLUTION at many levels can be blamed everywhere we use chemicals and deposit wastes.

This earth has seen warming AND cooling at various times since it all began, before mankind was around and since.

NOTHING of this current magnitude has swept away so many species in so short a time as these past 10-20 years.

We've used the oceans as our personal sewers and garbage cans for centuries.
Everything from human excrement to nuclear waste has been dumped in for so long that nothing that lives there can maintain a healthy balance much longer.
If humans spent more time in that filth, we'd all be dying, too!

Maybe that's a partial solution...make the CEOs of companies that dump into the oceans go live in the ocean, make those who are supposed to be "protecting" the environment and the natural world go with them.
Make all who see no reason to STOP dumping bathe in that water every day, remove JUST the salt and make them drink it. Rub it into their eyes, their skin, 24 hours a day every day.

After a very few months, MAYBE things would change as THEY begged to be rescued from it.

On October 2nd, 2017, Live Science published a story titled "Earth May Be Close To The Threshold Of Catastrophe" in which they warn a 6th 'mass extinction' may be inevitable. While they "partially" blame 'man-made global warming' , what they DON'T blame is constant, unending mass pollution of the sea, air and land with thousands of unnatural toxins.

While they claim that, by the year 2100, human beings might be gone from the face of the Earth, they fail to state the obvious...we've POISONED ourselves to death.

We've interrupted the food chain, we've created  "dead pools" that no one who is knowingly guilty of contributing to would take even a week-long swim in.

Just as we wouldn't dive into a swimming pool that we saw even one young boy piss into, we wouldn't want to go live in the oceans we've destroyed.

And now it's spreading inland, more and more each day.

The earth has WARMED before, and it's COOLED before, yet marine life LIVED.

NOW, they just can't LIVE in the filth soup that is their home.

They can't live without the sea and we've made sure the sea isn't fit to live in.

May those who have knowingly poisoned our seas, our air, our land be damned to 10,000 hells.


As the lower animals go, so go we all.

it's a chain reaction and we're next.
