In The Shadow Of The Sphinx

M.N.: "FBI was not able to find a motive" - this is the more accurate description.
This shooting was "obviously premeditated."
This act must have a motive, FBI just was not able to find it, like in almost all other similar cases. This apparent "lack of motivation" is in itself a part of the pattern.
In this particular case, which looked more like the public spectacle and the public execution, the issue of motivation appears to be quite obvious and on a surface. Paddock was a "professional gambler", and it is very likely that he accumulated some debts for which he had to pay with his life. He might not even be an actual killer, and possibly was killed himself by the real assailants who probably were the professional killers. This circumstance: death of the claimed perpetrator is another part of the pattern, which is present quite frequently.
It looks like the mafia cum hostile intelligence services hit job, and the "mass contract killing".

FBI, would these considerations help you to find this "motive"?
You have to present some logical and plausible explanation to the people, you cannot just throw your hands in the air and say: "We do not know what the motive was".

This case, just like the most other similar cases, is still unresolved. These incidents might be a part of the general picture of the "Secret War", the "Hybrid Intelligence War" on America, and although Russia and her allies (China, Iran, etc.) appear to be in the forefront, there might be another, the omnipotent, powerful, and mysterious player above and behind them all, which, in my humble opinion, might be, hypothetically, the New Abwehr.

"FBI finds no motive for Las Vegas mass shooter Stephen Paddock"

The Las Vegas Shooting And The Many Riddles of The Sphinx – by Michael Novakhov

FBI finds no motive for Las Vegas mass shooter Stephen Paddock

Jan. 29 (UPI) -- The FBI announced Tuesday it could find no motive for the October 2017 shooting in Las Vegas that left 58 people dead and hundreds injured.

The bureau's Las Vegas Review Panel released a three-page report, saying Stephen Paddock, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, exhibited "no single or clear motivating factor" for the mass shooting. The conclusion comes 15 months after the shooting at a country music festival outside the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.

"The LVRP concludes that Paddock's attack was neither directed, inspired nor enabled by ideologically motivated persons or groups," the report said. "Paddock was not seeking to further any religious, social or political agenda through his actions."

The FBI said Paddock acted alone when he opened fire from the 32nd floor hotel room at Mandalay Bay. The report said it's rare for a shooter such as Paddock to have a singular motive for such an attack.

"Throughout his life, Paddock went to great lengths to keep his thoughts private, and that extended to his final thinking about this mass murder," the report said.

"More often their motives are a complex merging of developmental issues, interpersonal relationships, clinical issues and contextual stressors."

One day after the shooting, Paddock's brother, Eric Paddock, said he was "completely dumbfounded" his brother would engage in such an act of violence.

"There is no reason we can imagine why Stephen would do something like this," he said.

Paddock lived in a retirement community in Mesquite, Nev., with his girlfriend Marylou Danley. Although he was known to local police, he had no conflicts with law enforcement.

An autopsy revealed no further insights into Paddock's motivation, though the presence of certain chemicals in his urine indicated he may have taken the anti-anxiety medication Valium, the coroner's office said in February..

The FBI said that in the years before the attack, Paddock had complained about his declining physical and mental health, leading him to plan the attack with suicide in mind.

"His inability or unwillingness to perceive any alternatives to this ending influenced his decision to attack," the report said. "The planning and preparation -- in and of itself -- was likely satisfying to Paddock as it provided a sense of direction and control despite his mental and physical decline."

He desired to achieve a degree of "infamy" through a mass casualty attack, the bureau concluded.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, meanwhile, said the shooter purchased 33 of the 50 firearms he owned in the year prior to the shooting, most of them rifles.

Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo described the shooting as "obviously premeditated." Police recovered 23 guns and an assortment of cameras from his hotel room. At least one camera was trained on the hotel hallway, presumably to observe police approaching his door.

Trump and Russia’s Putin met again without staff or note takers
Wednesday January 30th, 2019 at 12:35 AM

Vox - All

If you’re a US president, it’s probably not a great idea to meet with a foreign leader who meddled in your country’s elections without some way to record what’s being discussed.

But that’s just what President Donald Trump apparently did — again.

According to the Financial Times, Trump spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin during last November’s G20 summit in Argentina without a US official present to take notes. First lady Melania Trump was by the president’s side during the chat, but no staff joined them.

The White House had previously acknowledged that both leaders met for an “informal” talk but didn’t disclose that Trump had no official member of his team present. Putin did have someone, though: his translator, although it’s unclear if that person wrote anything down.

This isn’t the first time Trump has done this. During the G20 meeting in Germany in July 2017, he got up from his seat during a dinner in order to sit next to Putin, who did have his translator to help. That meeting, which the White House didn’t initially reveal, came just hours after Trump bought Putin’s denial that Russia didn’t intervene in the 2016 presidential election.

Why having no note taker matters

There are two major problems with Trump’s continued and ill-advised conduct.

First, the optics. Trump continually finds ways to meet with Putin privately. That’s a really bad look when you consider the fact that US intelligence says the Russian directed a sophisticated campaign to help Trump win the White House, not to mention special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into possible Trump-Russia ties during the 2016 presidential campaign.

But second, and more importantly, we’ll never really know what happened during the Trump-Putin chat since only four people were there — Trump, Putin, the first lady, and the translator — and nothing was recorded (that we know of).

In addition to this, the administration apparently has no notes of any of the many Trump-Putin interactions over a two-year span. And at least on one occasion in 2017, Trump told his translator after an official meeting with Putin not to share details of the meeting with staff. Trump actually seized his notes.

This isn’t a minor clerical issue. It actively hinders some US officials from doing their job when they don’t receive a detailed briefing about what the president discussed with another head of state. Without knowing what they agreed to, fought about, or even laughed at, it’s nearly impossible for the administration to conduct policy accordingly.

And let’s not forget that we’re talking about Trump here: the guy who shared highly classified intelligence in a meeting with top Russian officials in the Oval Office back in May 2017 and who has surrounded himself with a high number of pro-Kremlin confidants.

The president may not care how his meetings with Putin are received, especially since he has said he wants to improve the US-Russia relationship. He may believe a personal rapport with Putin can make that happen.

Even if that’s true, though, he’s going about it in the worst possible way.

Kamala Harris Sure Sounds A Lot Like An Authoritarian
Wednesday January 30th, 2019 at 12:34 AM

The Federalist

Some Democrats are trying to recast their soft authoritarianism as a patriotic endeavor. Don't let them get away with it.

Listen, it wouldn’t be fair to accuse presidential hopeful Kamala Harris of supporting state control over the means of all production. To this point she’s only focused on the energy, health care, auto-manufacturing and education sectors. Good candidates prioritize.

In this age of hyperbole, I sometimes worry about overusing words like “socialist” or “authoritarian.” Yet, if we accept that an “authoritarian” is a person “who favors or enforces strict obedience to authority, especially that of the government, at the expense of personal freedom,” I’m not sure how anyone watching Harris’ campaign kick-off (sponsored by CNN!) could argue that her policy positions do not fit that description.

For starters, here are some of the things that Harris believes the state can ban at expense of your personal freedom: private health insurance, your car, affordable energy, political speech, your guns, for-profit colleges, and government office holding for practicing Catholics. Of course, the media, complicit in normalizing these hard-left positions over the past decade, treat her agenda as the centrist option for voters. Who knows? Maybe in the contemporary Democratic Party it is.

In addition to pushing Medicare for All policy—now widely supported by presidential hopefuls—Harris says that private insurance (already governed by a massive regulatory regime and used as a Trojan horse for progressive social policy) should be banned outright in favor of state control. “Let’s eliminate all of that. Let’s move on,” she told Jake Tapper.

If you can imagine such a thing, this sounds even more authoritarian to me than Donald Trump’s tax cuts or deregulation efforts.

Once upon a time, voters were worried that they might lose their insurance plans. Now candidates openly campaign on the promise of cancelling every American’s insurance plan, and handing the entire project over to a centralized government bureaucracy that will govern the choices of around 350 million people. Forcing people to participate in this system (and it should be noted that a number of nations that have adopted socialized medicine allow citizens to get private insurance) is a pretty good example of demanding obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom.

(Update: Harris’ communications director later walked back her position, saying that while Senator still prefers the plan that would kick off over 160 million Americans off the insurance plans, but that she was willing to consider something more “moderate.”)

It is one thing that Harris supports the Green New Deal, which will artificially make our cheapest and most ubiquitous energy sources prohibitively expensive. The Green New Deal’s requirement that the US eliminate nearly 90 percent of our energy sources is an absolutely bonkers suicidal policy initiative. But the plan’s insistence that some Americans must replace “non-essential individual means of transport with high-quality and modern mass transit” sounds pretty authoritarian. Not “Literally Hitler!” level of authoritarian, no. But still, having some technocrat decide which American has to give up their non-essential individual means of transport so they can use a (oxymoronic) “high-quality and modern mass transit” system feels like unreasonable attack on personal freedom.

Harris also wants to outright ban for-profit colleges (something the Obama administration tried to do through regulation) even if there are Americans who believe it is in their best interest to attend them. Harris may might want to ban all semi-automatic weapons, as well, though the made-up phrase “assault weapon” can refer to any class of firearm, I guess. What we do know is that the Heller decision found Americans had a right constitutional right to own weapons that are “in common use by law-abiding citizen.”

It is unsurprising that Harris openly bragged about having “a huge stick” as a prosecutor in San Francisco who threatened poor parents with jail time in an effort to craft social policy that was not within her bailiwick. You can imagine what kind of things she has in store for personal freedom when she can brandish the huge stick of executive branch. Her despicable actions during the Brett Kavanaugh trial offers us a taste of how effortlessly she embraces abusing the process and her power to get her way.

She’s not alone. There seems quite a bit some confusion among liberals, who view anything that undermines their policy goals as an attack on “democracy.” Your good intentions do not make state coercion any less authoritarian. Your ability to find electoral support for your state coercion does not make that policy any less authoritarian. Even if you’re right about the outcomes of those policies, and state control greatly improves the lives of Americans, it can still be authoritarian.

Harris claims that these intrusions mean rediscovering American values. The foundational ideals of American governance are limited government and individual freedom—two notions that conflict with Harris’ worldview. Genuine liberalism within the Democratic Party died during the Obama administration. Since then, a number of Democrats have tried to recast their soft authoritarianism as a patriotic endeavor. I apologize sincerely for the cliché, but it’s quite Orwellian.

Democrats to Investigate Treasury’s Decision to Lift Sanctions on Oleg Deripaska’s Companies – Mother Jones
Wednesday January 30th, 2019 at 12:28 AM

Congressional Democrats want to know if there’s more to the story on why the Trump administration removed sanctions on three companies owned by Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska.

The energy and aluminum magnate and his companies were sanctioned last April as part of an effort to target oligarchs known to be close to Russian President Vladimir Putin. But in December, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said he planned to remove the firms from the sanctions list because Deripaska had agreed to divest himself of a controlling interest in the firms. Democrats mounted an effort to reverse the delisting decision, but failed to get enough Republican support in the Senate to pass a resolution blocking the move. The sanctions on the firm were lifted on Sunday, although Deripaska personally remains on a list of sanctioned individuals.

Now, Democrats are taking Mnuchin to task over how much control Deripaska really agreed to give up and whether Mnuchin may have had a conflict of interest in the decision resulting from his business relationship with another Russian businessman who stood to benefit from Treasury’s agreement with Deripaska. On Tuesday, the chairmen of the House intelligence, financial services, and foreign affairs committees sent Mnuchin a letter notifying him that they are launching an investigation into the decision-making process behind the delisting. The letter requested Treasury turn over all documents relating to the delisting and ordered the agency to explain who will benefit from the transactions Deripaska agreed to make in connection with his agreement to relinquish control of the companies.

Deripaska is one of Russia’s wealthiest men. He has in the past been banned from entering the United States over alleged ties to Russian organized crime (which Deripaska denies). He has also come under scrutiny in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. The oligarch is a former lobbying client and business associate of President Donald Trump’s imprisoned ex-campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, who allegedly owes Deripaska millions and tried to repay this debt by offering the oligarch insider briefings on the 2016 presidential election.

From the start, the sanctions against Deripaska’s companies—En+ Group LLC, a large mining and energy conglomerate; UC Rusal PLC, one of the world’s largest aluminum mining companies; and JSC EuroSibEnergo, Russia’s largest private power company—were controversial and rattled the global aluminum market. Although sanctions against Deripaska went into effect immediately—preventing Americans from doing business of any kind with him—Treasury granted a series of waivers to allow his companies to continue to do business as normal. In December, before the sanctions were officially applied, Mnuchin announced that Treasury had brokered an agreement with Deripaska.

According to the public documents released by Treasury, Deripaska would reduce his ownership in the companies to less than 50 percent, transferring his shares to other companies. The documents did not fully disclose the identities of the outfits poised to take control of Deripaska’s shares.

House Democrats summoned Mnuchin to Capitol Hill in early January to explain his delisting decision, and following the briefing they accused the treasury secretary of obfuscating. “With stiff competition, mind you, this is one of the worst classified briefings we’ve received from the Trump administration,” House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi told reporters. Mnuchin insisted that he had been forthright and said he was “surprised” that House Democrats felt they didn’t have enough information.

“These entities are undergoing significant restructuring and governance changes that sever Deripaska’s control and significantly diminish his ownership,” Mnuchin said at the time. “They have committed to provide Treasury with an unprecedented level of transparency into their dealings to ensure that Deripaska does not reassert control. As a result, these entities will no longer be designated for sanctions.”

However, according to confidential Treasury documents obtained by the New York Times last week, the details of Deripaska’s agreement to limit his involvement with the sanctioned companies varied drastically from what was presented publicly. For instance, Treasury said that Deripaska would reduce his ownership of En+ from 70 to 44.95 percent. But the confidential documents show that Deripaska will transfer shares to a foundation that he founded and funds, as well as to his ex-wife, her father, and a related company. All told, the shares owned by Deripaska, his foundation, and his close family will total about 57 percent, suggesting he will in fact retain control of En+. Also, despite public claims by the Treasury Department that he would not be allowed to profit from the transactions, the confidential documents suggest that by turning over shares to a Russian state-owned bank, he would benefit by retiring some of his debts to the institution.

In their letter to Mnuchin, which cites the Times‘ reporting, the House committee chairmen note that Treasury’s agreement with Deripaska “appears designed to allow him to retain significant influence, if not de facto control, over En+, Rusal, and ESE.” And the letter notes that “many questions remain unanswered.”

On Tuesday, Democratic Sen. Mark Warner (Va.), the ranking member of the Senate intelligence committee, sent a similar letter, asking for more details on Treasury’s decision to delist Deripaska’s companies.

Earlier this week, Rep. Jackie Speier (Calif.) sent a separate letter probing whether Mnuchin has a personal conflict of interest in the delisting deal. In her letter, first reported by Buzzfeed, Speier noted that prior to taking office Mnuchin owned a movie production company that he sold, in part, to Access Industries, a company owned by Len Blavatnik, a Russian-born billionaire who has ties to Deripaska. Blavatnik sits on the board of a company called SUAL, a major shareholder in Rusal. According to the New York Times, SUAL’s stake in Rusal will increase as part of Deripaska’s deal with the Treasury Department. In short, a man who is believed to have paid Mnuchin as much as $25 million for his movie company may well benefit from the deal to remove Rusal from the sanctions list.

Blavatnik is a US citizen who lives primarily in Britain, where he is sometimes described as the wealthiest man in the United Kingdom. He has donated to American political candidates and PACs for years, but in 2016 tilted his giving heavily to the right; Access Industries donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund, and Blavatnik attended the inauguration.

Neither a representative for Access Industries nor the Treasury Department responded to a request for comment on whether Mnuchin has any ongoing relationship with Blavatnik.

House Democrats demand Treasury records that led to lifting sanctions on Russian firms
Wednesday January 30th, 2019 at 12:26 AM

WASHINGTON — Three senior House Democrats have demanded Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin turn over documents that would show how his department decided to lift financial sanctions on three companies connected to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska.

Reps. Adam Schiff, Maxine Waters and Eliot Engel told Mnuchin in a letter Tuesday they want a broad array of material that may range from secret intelligence reporting to other records such as meeting minutes and agendas, emails and texts, and calendar invitations.

The letter comes two days after Treasury announced the sanctions were being lifted on the grounds that Derapaska’s direct and indirect shareholding stake in the three companies had been reduced to the point that he no longer has control over them. The lifting of the sanctions was opposed by members of both parties on Capitol Hill over concerns that the Trump administration was not being tough enough on Russian President Vladimir Putin and his allies, including Deripaska.

Schiff chairs the Intelligence Committee, Waters leads the Financial Services Committee and Engel runs the Foreign Affairs Committee.

They wrote that under the terms of Deripaska’s removal, his “ownership stake, as well as benefits afforded to his associates, family members, and related entities, appears designed to allow him to retain significant influence, if not de facto control,” over the companies.

The three Democrats noted Deripaska’s ties to Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, who was convicted of eight financial crimes as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

“At one point, Mr. Manafort owed Mr. Deripaska close to $20 million and may have leveraged his position as campaign chairman to attempt to negotiate that debt in exchange for providing briefings to Deripaska related to the campaign,” according to the lawmakers.

The companies released from the financial sanctions were the Russian aluminum manufacturing giant Rusal, EN+ Group and the Russian power company JSC EuroSibEnergo. EN+ Group is a holding company that owns nearly 50% of Rusal. Deripaska will remain blacklisted as part of sanctions announced last April that targeted tycoons with close ties to the Kremlin.

Treasury’s announcement followed a failed attempt by Congress earlier this month to block the sanctions removal. Despite coming up short, the votes demonstrated the breadth of concern on Capitol Hill over Treasury’s decision, with many Republicans joining Democrats to oppose the sanctions deal.

The votes in the House and Senate represented a crack in the solid GOP backing Trump has enjoyed in his first two years as president, signaling that congressional Republicans are willing to split with the White House on national security matters.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawmakers appear increasingly nervous that Congress and the public won't see a full report when special counsel Robert Mueller is finished with his Russia probe, including what the investigation finds about President Donald Trump.

Republicans and Democrats say they support public disclosure of Mueller's findings. But it's unclear exactly what documentation will be produced at the end of the probe into possible coordination between Trump associates and Russia, and how much of that the Justice Department will allow people to see. Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said Monday that the probe is "close to being completed," the first official sign that Mueller's investigation may be wrapping up.

Kaiser MAGGA Trump

Comment to J. Comey's op-ed in WP

I think that Comey is correct. It looks like Trump is engaged in (possibly deliberate) hostile, anti-English Speaking Alliance (see his recent anti-UK & anti-Australia remarks about the subjects of "Barr Investigation", with the Ukraine thrown in, for the good deceptive measure), PROPAGANDA; with overtly and/or covertly expressed "pro-Axis": pro-Germany and pro-Japan sentiments, and also some pro-Nazi racial hints, from his symbolic perspectives of the USS WASP, and other dubious optics of his Memorial Day 2019 Japan visit. I think humbly, realizing all the seriousness of this statement, that Mr. Trump might be the "unwitting" or "witting" (this has to be determined) agent or asset of the New Abwehr and German Intelligence, which also corresponds, "rhymes well" with his personal, family history and background; and also, of course, with his "special relationship" with the Deutsche Bank. All these assertions and suspicions have to be investigated very thoroughly.

The Russian subversive activity was and is present undoubtedly, as was stated and demonstrated in Mueller Investigations, but it should be viewed and understood in conjunction and in the light of the not so new, and renewed German-Russian Intelligence and Security Partnership Alliance, so to speak.

The main suspects for the roles of masterminds-culprits, in my humble opinion, appear to be the New Abwehr, German Intelligence, and their high agents: Gerhard Schroeder, Ernst Uhrlau, SPD, Putin, and many, many others; visible and invisible, known and unknown.

If we as the Society and Civilization, do not look into this hypothesis and do not investigate and research it properly, we will commit one of the gravest errors.
