STRANGER THAN FICTION: Why Is Foundation of Vegas Shooting Survivor Sponsored By DHS Linked Firm?
21st Century Wire,
21 October, 2017
When looking at the deeply entangled mystery surrounding the Las Vegas mass shooting, there’s been no shortage of questionable details and information that just doesn’t add up.
You
know the old adage, truth is often stranger
than fiction…

The
shooting involving the Las Vegas Mandalay Bay Resort and Route 91
Harvest Festival, has ushered in the brutal return of politicized
mass tragedy in America. The dramatic nature of the surreal as of yet
still motiveless crime, only adds to a traumatic event that is now
being described as “the
9/11 of Mass Shootings.”
Similarly,
over this past week, a story of concerning the sudden tragic death of
a Las Vegas shooting survivor sent shock waves through
both mainstream media and alternative media like.
As
a chorus of gripping media reports detailed the unexpected death
of 28 year-old Kymberley
Jo (Synder) Suchomel (left

Press)
in the days after the Las Vegas mass shooting, those still in search
of answers in the aftermath of the tragedy were left captivated
by her tale.
By
now, many may already be familiar with media accounts of Suchomel’s
harrowing tale of survival, who along with close friends, was said to
have attended the Route 91 Harvest Festival the night of the Las
Vegas shooting massacre.
As
the untimely circumstances of Suchomel’s death have been conflated
with the unexplained events in Las Vegas, many in alternative media
have hastily assumed that the young fund raiser’s death was somehow
linked to her dispute of the Las Vegas mass shooting storyline via
social media posts on a Facebook account associated with her.
Subsequently, online interpretations of the Suchomel story have led
to a digital firestorm on social media, producing a wave of
speculation prior to a more complete analysis of the survivor’s
tale.
Despite
sensationalized reportage,
at this time, there’s no concrete evidence to prove a social
media-based conspiracy concerning the death of Suchomel…
According
to the original story first published by the Daily
Press,
we’re told Suchomel died in her sleep as she was said to have
suffered from epilepsy and had been “prone
to seizures.”Additionally, Suchomel, who was
reportedly taking medication for a pituitary tumor, was discovered
dead by her grandmother Julie
Norton at
8:30am on October 9th at her Apple Valley, California home. At this
moment, an autopsy of Suchomel’s death is still pending.
QUESTION:
Is it possible that ‘open source investigators’ were being led
into a virtual cul-de-sac and thus missing the real story?
Media
Tripwire?
Undoubtedly,
the uncanny timing of Suchomel’s death has come on the heels
of a brewing controversy over the Las Vegas mass shooting. This has
led to increased speculation, turbo-charging even more spurious
internet-based conspiracies and allegations. These now viral stories
have simultaneously been published, as anonymous
survivor claims from those close to Suchomel have presented
Facebook messages associated with her account. Suchomel’s claims
also allude to multiple shooters involved in the Las Vegas shooting,
as she allegedly planned to “organize
a group of survivors,” and
that “The
media can suck it. They have no idea what went down!”
While
Suchomel’s story is compelling, you have to wonder – is there
more than we’ve been told?
At
face value, Suchomel’s public
account of the Las Vegas shooting is persuasive and does
appear to question the official narrative. However, one should look
at information from multiple angles in order to formulate a more full
spectrum understanding of complex multilayered criminality.
*UPDATE* – Below
are two screen shots associated with a Linkedin
profile under the name of Kymberley Suchomel. We
at 21WIRE cannot
verify if this profile is connected in anyway to the Las Vegas
shooting survivor or not, but several similarities in the appearance
of the individual, home location and the inclusion of an aero-space
industry government contractor Aero-Zone, along
with others, raises some serious questions…
The
inclusion of the above Linkedin profile is not necessarily an
endorsement of a larger conspiracy concerning the Suchomel saga.
However, the Linkedin revelations above have surfaced at or around
the same time as other government contractor links have been
uncovered regarding the Las Vegas shooting survivor’s charitable
foundation. (see below)
QUESTION:Is
the Linkedin profile above a ruse, someone else – or another
mysterious part of the Suchomel story?
Although
the police dispatch communication, along with eye-witness testimony
reveals some startling information contradicting
the official story surrounding the Las Vegas mass shooting,
one must be cautious when looking at all of the available evidence of
a suspicious crime – however
difficult that may be.
As
larger outlets in alternative media such
as Infowars have sensationalized this
highly emotive aspect of the Las Vegas tragedy, a series of formulaic
polarizing political points have become an echo chamber in its
aftermath. This type of conjecture rapidly descends into wild
speculation only serving to magnify emotionally driven elements of a
particular story, something that could be used to deliberately steer
public perception away from any potential forensic clues.
It’s
important to remember that during same time SITE Intelligence
injected an ‘ISIS meme’ into the Las Vegas tragedy without
revealing any solid evidence, Infowars quickly
followed suit. This then prompted an apparent ‘official’
statement that echoed those dubious
claims from the terror group ISIS. Although these claims
still linger, they’ve failed to produce any real connection
to ISIS.
As
we’ve noted numerous times here at 21WIRE,
the intelligence monitoring group called SITE, has ties to both
the CIA and Israeli intelligence. The group has also
had ethical
concerns raised over the nature of their intel gathering in
the last decade and according to the group’s founder, Rita
Katz – they’ve
managed to release terror related material linked to ISIS prior
to the group itself.

Strange
Bedfellows: Follow the Money
What
you’re about to see below, is a collection of material revealing
what appears to be a rather incredible financial component connected
to the High Desert Phoenix Foundation, a charitable organization
co-founded by the recently deceased Las Vegas mass shooting survivor
Kymberley Suchomel.
The High
Desert Phoenix Foundation claims to have raised funds for
grieving families affected by trauma since 2008. This amazing
coincidence, rather incredibly, has not been mentioned once in any of
the conspiratorial claims surrounding the Suchomel story at
alternative media outlets. Put another way, a survivor of a traumatic
event has been a long time co-founder of a foundation that contends
to have helped those who have endured a traumatic tragedy themselves.
It’s a difficult question to ask – but what are the chances
of this uncanny coincidence?
Furthermore,
new evidence uncovers details concerning the High Desert Phoenix
Foundation’s high-profile sponsors, one that includes the The
GEO Group, Inc (GEO).
This long time financial donor, is also linked to well-known
government contractor security firms. Is this also a coincidence?
In
recent years, controversy has
enveloped the multi-billion-dollar corporation known as Geo Group.
Critics of GEO Group contend that politically motivated contributions
have led to an expansion of its for-profit prisons system through
federal, state and government contractual agreements at the expense
of public safety. Even more concerning, is that critics argue that
GEO Group has fostered a dangerous work environment via it’s under
staffed operations, inadequate training and apparent mistreatment of
detainees and other inmates. This has led to a potentially volatile
situation for communities nearby GEO Group’s facilities.
QUESTION:
Does this sound like a suitable donor for a charitable foundation
known for helping grieving families?
In
1984, Wackenhut Corrections Corporation (WCC) had been formed as a
part of The Wackenhut Corporation. In 2003, WCC management bought up
all stock held by its subsidiary G4S, altering its name to The GEO
Group, Inc.
In
2004, other divisions of the Wackenhut Corporation were purchased by
Group 4 Falck, a security focused subsidiary known as G4S Wackenhut,
was later renamed again as G4S Secure Solutions.
Here’s
a screen shot of the High Desert Phoenix Foundation’s mission
statement. Notice the modest look of the website – an organization
with the financial backing of the multi-billion dollar GEO Group, one
of the nation’s largest for-profit prison operator…
The
reason why the GEO Group link is so significant, is that prior to
modern America’s largest mass shooting in Las Vegas, an apparent
survivor of the incident was operating a foundation that was
accepting financial support from a large-scale company formerly known
as The
Wackenhut Corporation,
a subsidiary of G4S
Secure Solutions, one
of the world’s largest security firms, and a Department of Homeland
Security connected conglomerate tied to the suspicious Orlando
shooting in the summer of 2016 – an
event, that was previously
the country’s largest mass shooting.
If
you remember, 29-year old Omar
Mateen,
an Afghani-American was located in Port St. Lucie, Florida, about 120
miles outside of Orlando. In 2013, Mateen was placed under a terror
watch list for 10 months (interviewed two to three times by the FBI
2013-14) and had worked for G4S Secure Solutions, headquartered in
Jupiter, Florida, a company which was formerly part of a CIA-linked
government contractor and security firm known as The Wackenhut
Corporation.
G4S,
as it turns out, was the very first ‘designated’ and certified
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) contractor and recently secured
a $234
million dollar
contract with the federal cabinet department. In addition to
apparently providing security solutions for “90
percent of U.S. nuclear facilities,” G4S,
according to border patrol sources has also been tasked with the
transportation and release of illegal immigrants inside the interior
of the United States. At least one of Mateen’s roles with G4S, was
to transport and provide security for prisoner youths in Florida.
Here’s
a screen shot from the High Desert Phoenix Foundation’s
website that proudly displays their billion dollar government
contract linked ‘diamond’ donor, The Geo Group…
Below
is a link to the first discussion about the Geo Group connection as
it relates to the Las Vegas mass shooting…
The
amount of independent examination regarding the Las Vegas shooting
case thus far is fairly staggering and in the wake of any
multilayered event, one must proceed with caution when reviewing the
available evidence, as the doorway for a ‘trial by media’
frenzy in both mainstream media and alternative media could be used
to derail sincere analysis.
What
should the public make of the the High Desert Phoenix
Foundation’s long time financial links to a high-profile government
contractor?
All
of this comes, as the Las Vegas shooting
star witness, Mandalay Bay security guard Jesus
Campos resurfaced
to appear in what the public has been told will be his only media
appearance to discuss this bizarre and highly questionable case.
It’s
also worth mentioning that Campos failed to shed any more light on
the shifting timeline of events associated with the Las Vegas mass
shooting. Watch Campos ‘break his silence’ in an interview that
appeared on Ellen…
Stay
