Las Vegas Massacre Possibly Joint Antifa/ISIS Operation, Former FBI Agent Says
Big League Politics spoke with a former high-level law enforcement official who says that the Las Vegas massacre could plausibly have been a joint operation between Antifa and ISIS.
“In short, in my experience it is most likely this was an ISIS operation and the evidence strongly points that way,” said a former FBI counter-terrorism agent. “Authorities have no alternative line of investigation. The most frightening possibility is that this was a joint ISIS-Antifa operation.”
It is becoming apparent that hard left organizations like Antifa are cozying up to radical Islamic groups, according to the FBI and multiple other sources.
“There is clearly overwhelming evidence that there are growing ties between U.S. radicals and the Islamic State, as well as several ISIS offshoots and splinter groups,” said an FBI field report delivered to former Acting Director Andrew McCabe on July 11, 2017.

The connection between leftist groups like ANTIFA and Islamic jihadists was first exposed by Edward Klein in his book “All Out War: The Plot to Destroy Trump.”
Last summer, the FBI sent a task force to Hamburg, Germany during the G20 summit where President Donald J. Trump spoke. The law enforcement group tracked leftist rioters like Antifaschistische Aktion, an Antifa affiliate, and made a shocking discovery.
“The task force covered G20 meeting in Hamburg, studied intel from local authorities, Interpol, and other assets, determined that as assumed U.S.-backed anarchist/radical groups had traveled to Germany and took place in the violence,” the FBI’s summary said. “There is also evidence of meetings between these individuals and associates of ISIS. There is an urgent need to closely surveil the identified individuals.”
The report details Oakland Antifa’s connections with Islamic extremists:
“Ties between three key leaders of the Oakland group [names redacted] met in Hamburg with a leader of the AQAP [Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula] and the AQIM [Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb]. The leader from AQAP is an Egyptian-born male [name redacted] who is known to be in charge of finances and recruiting for the group. There is evidence from informants that he is helping the Oakland group acquire the weapons they are seeking, primarily bomb making equipment and toxic chemicals and gasses. One of the men from Oakland traveled to Syria to meet with ISIS; the purpose was for training in tactics, but was thought to be primarily a bonding visit to discuss possible massive disruptive attacks in the U.S.”
As part of a series on the Las Vegas massacre, Big League Politics has already reported that Brian A. Hodge, a mysterious Australian national who was present at the scene of the attack, fits the bill of an Antifa operative:
“Big League Politics has exclusively obtained an in-depth intelligence community-produced report which fuses open-source information, tactical counter-terrorism analysis, cyber-intelligence, and digital data mining into a comprehensive dossier comprised of a detailed profile on Brian A. Hodge’s and his whereabouts during the massacre.
The digital signatures captured, tactical tradecraft, and media analysis strongly suggest that Hodge should reasonably be suspected as a person of interest in the Vegas massacre, and deserves more scrutiny.
Hodge’s Australian background and support for left-wing causes are well documented on his now-locked Facebook page.
While Hodge does not outwardly espouse violence, his profile is befitting of an Antifa affiliate.”
“Additional photos and info pertaining to Brian Hodge, the mysterious person of interest in [the] Las Vegas Shooting have surfaced,” tweeted journalist Laura Loomer on April 20. “He’s pictured here posing for a pic in front of the Mandalay Bay crime scene. Members of Congress were recently briefed on his *possible* ties to ISIS.”

“In short, in my experience it is most likely this was an ISIS operation and the evidence strongly points that way,” said a former FBI counter-terrorism agent. “Authorities have no alternative line of investigation. The most frightening possibility is that this was a joint ISIS-Antifa operation.”
I would say that perhaps the fellow was short of experience if anything. It is a good thing that the individual is a former high-level law enforcement official if they are going to spread such absolute tripe.
Almost immediately after the shooting ISIS declared that he was one of their soldiers. It sure seems to take a long time for the investigators to be sure of a motive.
Skirting the CoC [ph]
Although Antifa and ISIS are both terrorist groups, that’s about all the two groups have in common. ISIS is a Sunni sect so extreme that it has declared all Shia Muslims to be infidels and sparked a regional civil war to literally eliminate everyone who disagrees with them. Even other extremist groups like al Qaeda have disowned ISIS. To ISIS, Antifa is an organization of western infidels espousing ideals completely antithetical to ISIS’s beliefs. I think it would be much more likely that ISIS would kill every member of Antifa that they could get their hands on rather than coordinate with them.
And once again, you say something completely rational and logical.
Wow! Brian Hodge is probably chew the author and the media producer ala Glenn Beck getting owned by the Saudi guy.
That's IF he can find the producer....this piece of shit sludge site was started by Breitbart cast-offs and then bought by Mustard Seed Media who probably speak Russian at home.
Brian Hodge is a concert promoter and past employee of Australia game houses. He was staying at Mandalay Bay, next door to the shooter...and now the right are trying to tie a noose around his neck.
These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Right Bias sources.
Factual Reporting: MIXED
Notes: Big League Politics is an Alt-Right news and opinion blog founded by Patrick Howley, former writer for the far right Daily Caller and Breitbart . In reviewing articles on the Big League Politics website it is clear that the sole mission is to promote the agenda of President Trump. Essentially, this could be classified as a propaganda media arm for the President. While there are nice examples of well sourced journalism on this website there are also unproven conspiracy type stories. For example, in one article the author is making the claim that Justice John Roberts was hacked by Obama officials as evidence of a Deep State conspiracy. The source of this audio is from two discredited public figures . In other stories, there is the use of conspiracy theorists as sources of information. In this story , they are relying on Infowars’ Alex Jones and fellow conspiracy theorist Roger Stone for information and opinion. Overall, the blog is well written, but with a strong right wing bias in story selection. Many stories are factual or at the very least rooted in fact, but there are some stories that are unproven with conclusions being drawn by the authors. These stories are propaganda at best and conspiracy theories at worst. This is a right wing biased site that is mixed for factual reporting. (D. Van Zandt 8/2/2017)

So occasionally they say something that is correct, along with made up conspiracy stories.
This garbage shouldnt even be allowed to stand on Newstalkers. Even leaving it up projects the impression that it is approved by the site.
I was watching a video the other day of CNN's Chris Cuomo interviewing the tea party republican congressman Steve King. At one point Cuomo asks him a question and Steve King gives a reply and cites Gateway Pundit as the source for his answer. Chris Cuomo immediate starts laughing "You are giving Gateway Pundit as a source?" he says to King and King says "why not?" "Because it is a discredited conspiracy site" Cuomo tells him.
Steve King is a representative in our federal governement, and he is relying on far right conspiracy sites for information.
Newstalkers should not be a part of this idiocy.
That being said, it does meet the criteria of the site as spelled out by the CoC . It falls on the main line of media bias/ fact check. It is up to the members to debunk what they feel is false. Part of that is posting what Kavika just did.
Last week I closed an article that didn't meet the qualifications spelled out in the CoC. This one does.
Are you kidding? Since when is something left up based on what a "media bias" web site says? And even then, the media bias site says that Big League Politics has printed false stories.
Find this conspiracy theory about ISIS and Antifa and the Las Vegas shooting in some semi mainstream news story and then it might be somewhat viable.
Right now this is on the same level as the false story that was seeded about the black soldier in Niger betraying his unit.
You know what is the dumbest of all this? ISIS doesnt keep it's operations secret afterwards. They need the publicity to make potential followers believe they are still relevant and active.
HA, I have zero interest in your crackpot ideas or crackpot sources. Skirting the CoC [ph]
HA, at a rally tonight, Trump once again ranted about how his campaign was infiltrated by FBI spies.
A little earlier in the evening Trey Gowdy told an interviewer that the FBI did nothing wrong when it began an investigation of the Trump campaign.
Trump is almost as full of shit as your sources are.
In case you didnt hear me. Today, Trey Gowdy totally shot down Trump's "spygate" theory. Hope that doesn't ruin your evening too much.
Awww, I bet it hurt the feelings of a lot of left winger dingers
No, no, no....it in fact supported it. The problem comes down to what is termed "spying". Under any definition they were spying.
Behar: "I ask you, was the FBI spying on Trump's campaign?"
Clapper: "No, they were not. They were spying on — a term I don't particularly like — but on what the Russians were doing. Trying to understand were the Russians infiltrating, trying to gain access, trying to gain leverage and influence which is what they do."
Behar: "Well, why doesn't he like that? He should be happy."
Clapper: "He should be."
Greg, for whatever reason you completely misunderstand what Gowdy said.
Wow. Just wow.
I saw a white rabbit once...
Where I come from we call em Snow Shoe Hares. Fun as hell to run but you need a long legged beagle.
We always get these little brown bunnies. Catch them running around the yard. They are cute but you can't grow a garden.
Haven't seen them around lately but the neighbor said he saw a fox.
Did he look like this?
Nah, I know that guy, his name is Harvey.
They even made a movie about him, he's famous.
Yep, always late...
He really needs a new watch.
Oh jesus, give me a fuckin break. Are you sure it wasn't lizard people or the same individuals within the government who were behind 9/11? Shit like this is why I kinda hate the internet, it let's the dumbest ideas ever conceived find an audience.
