They have rules for how low the numbers go before they jump me to the head of the line. Every time, I tell them that anything less than 95% means - for me - that I'm in serious need of treatment.<br /><br />If the triage nurse is sharp - some are, some aren't - I'll get properly treated. Otherwise, I'll be sitting in the ER, and being told that my problem will just have to wait.<br /><br />A few times, I've had to be admitted for a few days, all because they didn't listen to me about something I've had years of experience with.<br /><br />The same thing with any probe/measurement instrument - the data is only worthwhile if:<br />- the operator is well-trained<br />- the test is repeated at a separate time (such as 15 minutes later), just to verify that its reading is correct<br />- the person using the equipment is aware of the things that can throw the reading off<br />- the equipment is properly calibrated (or, if a patient, their records are available, and compared to the reading)Linda Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15024201252345608291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-62370282654982312052017-10-20T11:29:00.851-07:002017-10-20T11:29:00.851-07:00Calvaryman @ 2:04 - I live in a border state so ge...Calvaryman @ 2:04 - I live in a border state so get that vehicles are available financed and often without gov't ID, etc...

No "Jesus Campos" is registered as a guest at any MGM properties on the Strip. <br /><br />And while calls to his listed telephone numbers continue to go unanswered, Metropolitan Police Department spokesman Larry Hadfield said Campos is "fully cooperating with the investigation." <br />... <br />MGM said Campos is on paid leave while he continues to heal, adding that he has access to counseling options "that are available to all employees injured in the shooting." "<br /><br />"According to True Pundit "sources", the pre-recorded interview was vetted by MGM, and Campos's gag order has now been reactivated. As they put it, "No one on the MGM or FBI side wants Campos seriously cross examined by actual journalists or attorneys. Hence, the armed guard parked outside his house. He is the glue holding the FBI's flaky narrative of the shooting together. And it is certainly flaky." "<br /><br />"Officer Larry Hatfield, a spokesman for the LVMPD, contends that Campos is not missing, but rather just hiding from Loomer's hard-hitting journalism. "Let me put it this way," Hatfield told WND, "If you were getting bombarded by media attention from people like Laura Loomer, it's your choice not to disclose your location." "<br /><br />"Yesterday, Campos's union president and "media handler" David Hickey's house and office were allegedly raided by federal agents in a federal corruption and racketeering probe.

Nothing about time or timelines was even addressed or mentioned.<br /><br />What we were left with was more questions in what has been one of the worst public relations nightmare for both the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and MGM Resorts International.<br /><br />It was a rehearsed publicity stunt. It was apparent that DeGeneres was briefed before the taping of the show, which occurred on Tuesday. She tossed softball questions and perhaps there is a reason to why she did not press with hard questions.<br /><br />MGM sponsors DeGeneres’ slot machines on their properties. In November 2014 MGM Grand Detroit became the first casino in the gaming market to offer the Ellen’s Dance Party Video Slots and The Ellen DeGeneres Show Featuring 12 Days of Giveaways Video Slot. Both games contain original voiceover work by DeGeneres.<br /><br />[...]<br /><br />The remaining few minutes of the show, nothing pertinent except when DeGeneres says, “So you’re not talking about it again and I don’t blame you.”<br /><br />All the key questions that should have been asked were not. We are left with even more questions.<br /><br />The question wasn’t even raised when or if they heard the gunman shooting for ten minutes into the crowd. Campos and Schuck didn’t even mention that.<br /><br />The timelines are still questionable and the radio traffic from the night of the shooting doesn’t fit with the statement that MGM Resorts International released last Thursday.<br /><br />Why it took so long before the police dispatcher was advised that the shots were coming from the 32nd floor, are still unanswered.<br /><br />What about the SWAT officer who fired his weapon. What were the circumstances around that. What’s the big secret there?<br /><br />The LVMPD interviewed Campos right after the shooting. Then it was reported that the FBI had to re-interview Campos because the timeline didn’t fit.<br /><br />Two-and a-half weeks since the worst mass shooting in United States history and we still don’t have a straight answer from the authorities.<br /><br />Is this investigation being focused on who might be at fault civilly? This battle of the six minutes is going to fall either on MGM Resorts International or the LVMPD.<br /><br />The press should scrutinize everything the LVMPD says from this point forward. Why should we believe anything at this point? I want to see the evidence they have to back up what they are saying. And that goes for MGM Resorts International also.<br /><br />Is this is a case of what a tragedy; we have heroes, the shooter is dead, no one to prosecute and let’s just sew the whole thing up and forget that it happened?<br />"RSRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-37654643230812273192017-10-19T11:14:24.340-07:002017-10-19T11:14:24.340-07:00Matt Bracken shared the above article and in the i...Matt Bracken shared the above article and in the intro posted this: https://www.facebook.com/matt.bracken.98/posts/1857395480946550<br />"I watched Wayne Alyn Root on NewsMax last night, and he was all over this topic. He said he has had security officers and even supervisors calling from Mandalay and MGM, and they said there are a lot of problems with security that MGM does not want publicized, for fear of the eventual mega lawsuits. For example, the security officer radios are crummy, and the building is full of dead spots. Also, they confirm that there are no cameras in the hallways or stairwells, only at the elevators. (So another shooter might have escaped unseen, and there will be no way to ever know.) Back to the crummy radios, and this might dovetail with the shifting timeline, Root said that according to his sources, Campos was shot six minutes before the massacre, but was unable to call it in due to the crummy radio and/or being in a hotel dead spot. Being wounded and possibly pinned down by fire, he couldn't move to a place with better radio qualities. Eventually he used his private cell phone to contact security, but this took time. The "conspiracy" involved in the case might be to keep quiet how incompetent MGM management was. For example, the Mandalay security had no quick response team or protocols for a critical incident like the massacre, just call 911 and hope that SWAT comes."<br /><br />Wayne Allen Root's website that has quotes from alleged MGM security employees: http://rootforamerica.com/real-mgm-story-direct-security-employees/RSRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-76618945204159885362017-10-19T11:11:47.792-07:002017-10-19T11:11:47.792-07:00Poppa had an article re: Campos before the Ellen i...Poppa had an article re: Campos before the Ellen interview; some good info there but some wrong info too...<br />Of note: Campos was not in the Mandalay employee database when searched a day or two after shooting; he is not licensed with the state of NV; his car tags appear to be expired and attached to a Corvette that's newer than a 2005 model (and a 'Vette on an hourly security guard paycheck!?); and he has a shared social security number...<br /><br />Poppa: http://baltimorepostexaminer.com/mandalay-bay-security-officer-jesus-campos-getting-bad-rap/2017/10/18<br />"There are no guards working on any hotel property in Las Vegas, however we do have security officers. Security officers have been killed and wounded over the years in Las Vegas in the line of duty.<br /><br />Another myth dispelled. Security personnel do not have to be licensed through the Nevada Private Investigator Licensing Board if they are being employed directly by the hotel casino. If a hotel contracts their security out to another company, then yes in that case they would have to be licensed through the PILB. So, his name would not be on any list at the PILB.<br /><br />Campos is an “illegal immigrant working illegally”. I shouldn’t even have to justify that comment, but here’s why that’s not true. MGM Resorts International as other properties do, conduct thorough background checks on all applicants. I know, I was an investigator for the MGM and a director of security and investigations at two properties thereafter. So that’s another ignorant remark floating around the ether.<br /><br />Campos has been criticized because he backed out of several interviews on Oct. 12 with CNN, NBC, CBS and Fox’s Sean Hannity show.<br /><br />[...]<br /><br />Did anybody ever think that maybe he was told by MGM not to speak after they realized it was a risk management blunder to allow Stephen Schuck, the maintenance engineer to be interviewed on NBC’s “Today” this past Tuesday.<br /><br />Employees are not allowed per company policy to talk about any company business with the media unless they are authorized to do so.<br /><br />A relative of Stephen Schuck told the media that his interview was arranged by MGM Resorts International through a public relations agency. MGM Resorts International declined to let Schuck speak out to local media.<br /><br />Why any corporation would allow any employee to speak to the media, specifically with the magnitude of this case and possible civil actions is beyond me. Attorneys will rip apart every single word you said during any interview when you are being deposed.<br /><br />If Campos was my employee, I would have him recuperating somewhere out of public view, all expenses paid.<br /><br />It’s ludicrous to think that the LVMPD and the FBI do not know his whereabouts. He is a material witness in the worst mass shooting in American history.<br /><br />I’m more concerned with why he was unarmed, as reported. I can’t imagine what would have happened had the gunman opened the door and chased him down the hall and Campos was unable to protect himself or other guests that could have been in the area.

A .300 win mag, .338 lapua, .50 bmg for instance w/ someone of his means and profile should be expected.<br /><br />For one, the fuel tanks were at ~650 yards (once accounting for elevated position), so .308 would not have reliably ignited tannerite at that range if the tannerite was intended for such a use... And if the target was in fact the Area 51 hanger/planes/personnel then more gun would most certainly be needed to have any measurable effect...<br />Further, there are several more suitable locations to attack the airport than from the Mandalay... So that dog doesn't hunt unless a second shooter is found to have been in a location closer to the airport and firing on the airport from there...<br /><br />And lastly, there are incendiary rounds that will ignite heavy fuels so until we know what specifically was found in room, one cannot be certain on that...RSRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-68677498776557719762017-10-18T01:00:17.346-07:002017-10-18T01:00:17.346-07:00@n

Paddock was as "stable" as anyone knew. The incident casts suspicions on "stable" gun owners. True, this so-called investigation would be better handled by the Howard Bros. Private Detective Agency (those old enough will know the reference). The bacon? That is not yet cured and ready for consumption. The "bacon" is still waiting for final preparations. I don't think (and "think" is the weakest part of forming a hypothesis) that this operation went anywhere near success for the perpetrators. Something or someone screwed it up. Maybe it was just that the operation was handled by a new "whiz kid" in the business and he/she screwed the pooch. <br /> What we have seen from these ops is the push for more "common sense" gun laws. We, who have been around since JFK got in the way, know that "common sense", in the end, means a total ban and total confiscation. Although the JFK op had many goals and gun control was a minor byproduct. RFK, and MLK just added to the push while accomplishing other political goals.<br /> Terrorism is just an extension of the political machine no matter where it is used. Nations use it and so do organizations and gangs and individuals. Some ops are handled much more adroitly and adeptly than this one. Some are just out and out shitstorms.<br /> It happens. Nobody is perfect all the time. Even our very own "whiz bang" kids.<br /> Now, as far as why things are happening internationally the way they have been going for say,oh, the last 30 years is due to a group who have been dubbed the "neocons". <br /> Ladies and Gentlemen!

The Aircraft themselves are owned by the Air Force. And I have to believe that if the CIA was behind that, they would have known they would need a lot more than a 7.62 round to light those tanks up. BTW they are not the only source of fuel on the field. I can believe that maybe someone convinced the shooter(s) that they could shoot those tanks and get away. But someone would have had to know it wouldn't work. They can't be that dumb.Cavalryman40https://www.blogger.com/profile/01946395375549618026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-15787503866148565702017-10-17T13:40:47.034-07:002017-10-17T13:40:47.034-07:00@Aesop:
"That's kind of exactly the prob...@Aesop:<br /><br />"That's kind of exactly the problem: until you know who actually did it, and why, there is no message.<br /><br />All we're left with is noise, bloodshed, and victims.<br />And opportunists drawn to try and bootstrap their own message into it, like moths to the flame."<br />--------------------------------------------<br />I agree with Cavalryman40 that the message is "gunz r baaaaaad." <br /><br />Here's why, IMHO:<br /><br />As of the minute before this massacre started, this was the situation:<br /><br />1) We are slightly north of 400 million guns in the hands of civilians in this country, and growing by roughly 15 million/year;<br /><br />2) The Leftists just lost the Presidency and, thus, the Supreme Court (and other federal courts, but that'll take some time to come to fruition); <br /><br />3) Donald Trump will not sign any anti-gun legislation, in the rather unlikely event that the Republican-controlled Congress would even put something like that on his desk;<br /><br />4) The ammunition shortage is over (signified by the fact that you can now buy .22LR off the shelf at Academy Sports, and Wallyworld has no more limits on purchases), so people are resuming stocking up in earnest; <br /><br />5) More people are getting carry licenses every day, growing the number of gun owners and, thus, political opponents to the gun grabbers/Communists; and<br /><br />6) The unlicensed manufacture of weapons (particularly AR-15 variants) is really beginning to skyrocket. Just about anyone can buy an 80% receiver, buy a decent jig, use a router or cheap drill press to make it a 100% receiver (unregistered ANYWHERE), make it a complete lower with a cheap kit available online or at any gun show (and many sporting goods retailers) for cash, and then buy an upper for cash. <br /><br />So, from the standpoint of the gun grabbers/Communists, things were REALLY getting out of hand here, so SOMETHING had to be done...and, hence, our latest massacre. Add in the display of dozens of rifles with big, scawwy, magazines and lots of ammunition, and the "gunz r baaaaaad" meme just writes itself.A Texanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06110656825346789908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-49747966318674365282017-10-17T13:25:06.576-07:002017-10-17T13:25:06.576-07:00"You brighter folks, tell the less-bright why..."You brighter folks, tell the less-bright why extrapolating a particular machinegun from one single datum, in this case one or more sound recordings, of hugely dubious accuracy, unknown and suspect fidelity, and therefore little utility, might therefore be slightly left of retarded on the IQ curve. If that doesn't work, try a bigger Wand Of Truthiness until the problem resolves."<br />--------------<br />Someone a lot smarter than me once said: "It is hard to win an argument with an intelligent person, but it is impossible to win an argument with a stupid person." The reason being, of course, that the stupid person will never admit to new facts or a better reasoning process - they are simply stuck on stupid. That, I believe, explains why just about every single event of any importance or notoriety devolves into a conspiracy-fest. It is just about stupid.<br /><br />Along those lines, Einstein was reputed to have said, "There are two things that are infinite: the universe and human stupidity...and I'm not entirely sure about the former."A Texanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06110656825346789908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-45087970582815546532017-10-17T12:31:48.113-07:002017-10-17T12:31:48.113-07:00For less kook Doug Poppa has a great series on the...For less kook Doug Poppa has a great series on the LV shooting. Poppa's a former LV Metro cop and investigator for MGM among other LE roles during his career: http://baltimorepostexaminer.com/author/doug-poppa<br /><br />Transcripts and such used highly by him vs other media. He references recordings so perhaps some local supplied, etc, from police scanners... Definitely worth keeping on your radar.<br /><br />From his reporting we know cops had reports of multiple shooters in many locations during and after fire from Mandalay, police fired at least one weapon inside of Paddock's room, police used private Battlefield Las Vegas armored vehicles which may or may not have had mounted machine guns at the time in response to the shooting, Mandalay Bay 9:59 timeline was put into a company report after the shooting by a person for unknown reasons, gunman still firing when police reached the 31st floor but police weren't sure if gunman was still in room when reaching 32nd floor a few minutes later, that if Campos called in gunshots as alleged police should have been aware of location of 16-17 minutes before they were, etc.RSRnoreply@blogger.com
