Thomas Matthew Crooks Plan B?
The man who nearly murdered former President Donald Trump apparently had an alternate plan for the rally held in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13th. A homemade bomb was found in Crooks vehicle and a detonating device was seen near his body. Crooks, (or those who were assisting him), knew there would be lax security at the event. If this would-be assassin had been able to smuggle explosives into the rally, hundreds of people would have been killed.
Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle
There have been many calls from Republican leaders for Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to resign. The Biden Administration, so far, have said they have no plans on dismissing her. The three women who have been criticized for not knowing what to do during the assassination attempt were not members of the Secret Service. They are agents from Homeland Security.
QUESTIONS ABOUT JULY 13TH
How did Matthew Crooks know the roof he used as a vantage point would be unguarded?
Why was it unguarded? (No, I don’t believe Cheetos excuse about a sloped roof.)
Why did the counter snipers wait until Crooks fired eight times before they returned fire?
How could Crooks build a bomb without his parents knowing about it? (Or did someone else supply it?)
Why did Trump’s Secret Service team allow him to go on when they knew a dangerous suspect was seen with a rangefinder?
TIMELINE
5:10 p.m. Crooks spotted by police acting suspiciously.
5:30 p.m. Crooks seen holding a rangefinder.
Firearms rangefinder
5:52 p.m. Crooks seen on roof.
6:05 p.m. Trump begins speaking.
6:11 p.m. 8 shots are fired by Crooks. The first strikes the side of Trump’s ear. Two more miss Trump who lies down and is covered by Secret Service agents. Five more shots are fired. One kills attendee Corey Comperatore, 50, while shielding his wife and daughter. David Dutch, 47, and James Copenhaver, 74, are critically wounded. Secret Service counter sniper kills Crooks with one head shot.
AFTERMATH
Since the shooting, Pres. Trump’s ratings have soared. If the election were held today, he would win by a landslide.
Biden’s mental deterioration continues. Democratic Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer has asked him to step down as President.
It seems inevitable VP Kamala Harris will replace Biden or Democrats will have to invoke the 25th Amendment.

Copycat Killer? Man with AK-47 Arrested outside RNC
AK-47
Milwaukee, WI., July 17, 2024. A man was arrested outside the Republican National Convention when police found an AK-47 assault rifle hidden in his backpack. Dressed in a black ski mask (a common disguise among ANTIFA members), police also found a “Scream” mask, rubber gloves, a flashlight and an Allied Universal Security Uniform. Age 21, he was charged with carrying a concealed weapon without a permit – a misdemeanor.

DEEP-STATE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT
FACTS ON THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
Assassin Thomas Crooks was spotted by the police 26 minutes before the shooting “acting strangely by the magnetometers”.
The excuse given for not immediately firing on Crooks: Protocol. The counter snipers were waiting for Crooks to fire the first shot. Except, that isn’t true. They waited for him to fire eight shots.
An explosive device was found in Crooks car.
On one of the cell phone videos, a woman’s voice can be heard, screaming, “Crooks, what are you doing?!”
July 8th Biden quote: “We’re done talking about the debate. It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye.”
Democrats attempted to withdraw Trump’s Secret Service protection after his indictment. LINK
Until recently, RFK Jr. was denied Secret Service protection.
Kimberly Cheatle, the head of the Secret Service, was chosen by Jill Biden. Ms. Cheatle’s goal for the Secret Service is diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI.) This would partially account for why the agents protecting Pres. Trump are unqualified.
AN ORDER TO STANDDOWN
The nearly fatal assassination of President Donald J. Trump occurred 16 days after the first presidential debate. That is no coincidence. Universally, everyone who watched the debate said Biden lost; lost to the point that media commentators and fellow Democrats insisted it was time for him to step down.
If Trump had been killed on July 13th, as planned by the upper echelon of those above Biden, it would have been the gamechanger they were looking for.
There is no doubt in my mind – there was an official order for the secret service to standdown – and not protect Trump against an assassin’s bullet.
Since Biden’s disastrous debate performance, many have wondered – “Who’s running the country?” The answer can be found in what has taken place in the last three and a half years. The biggest indication is what’s happening on the border. 18 million illegal aliens have flooded into the United States. The only reason it has slowed down recently is because of the upcoming election. When Barack Obama was President, he made it clear that he wanted to bring in as many third-world invaders into the U.S. as possible, preferably in areas mostly populated by white people.
Let’s assume that 2021-2024 is really 3rd term Obama.
Let’s also assume that Kamala Harris becomes the 47th President. That would be 4th and 5th term Obama. Then, let’s assume Michelle Obama takes her turn as President. That’s 6th and 7th term Obama. 7 terms equals 28 years. Do you see why Obama would want to get rid of Donald Trump?
It’s no secret Obama filled the FBI and CIA with his people. What about the Secret Service?
As of now, the mainstream media are reporting this incident as one of mass incompetence and that everything will be fine when Kimberly Cheatle is fired. No, it won’t. Reporters refuse to investigate this story to where it leads. It leads right to the top.

Trump Wounded, 2 Dead
In a photo that will define the 2024 General Election, a bloodied Trump raised his fist in the air and shouted, “Fight!” The crowd cheered, shouting, “USA USA, USA!”
7/13/2024, Butler, Pennsylvania. Former President Donald J. Trump was shot and nearly assassinated while speaking before an audience at a campaign rally. Armed with an Ar-15 rifle, Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire from a rooftop adjacent to the venue. As Trump was speaking, he turned his head, which saved his life. The bullet grazed Trump’s right ear. Crooks would then open fire on the crowd, killing one and wounding two others. Secret Service shot and killed Crooks from a left-stage vantage point.
Corey Comperatore who shot and killed as he used his body as a human shield to protect his family against the assassin’s bullets.
SECURITY BREAKDOWN
As reported by the BBC, the police and Secret Service were warned by an onlooker who saw Crooks on the roof with a rifle. His warnings were ignored.
Another failure was in the perimeters that were established. Why wasn’t this rooftop checked before Trump spoke?
Third, some have commented as to why Trump wasn’t immediately removed from the stage.
REACTION
The psychotic far-left responded on X, saying they were sad the shooter missed.
The usual suspects: Biden, Obama, Pelosi, Schumer issued meaningless platitudes and tut-tuts. A bland Biden wouldn’t say if he thought it was an assassination attempt.
CNN and MSNBC initial headlines state that “Trump fell down” and that “popping noises were heard”. Now do you see why they’re called fake news?
OPINION
I don’t care who the Democrats run against Trump…
Biden, the child-sex pervert.
Creepy Joe Biden
Kamala Harris, who fucked her way to the top.
Kamala Harris
The Great Satan Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton
Gavin Newsom who ran California into bankruptcy.
Gavin Newsom
“Big Mike” Michelle Obama
Gretchen Witmer, who betrayed Biden the moment he lost the debate.
Gretchen Witmer
None of these candidates can beat Trump now or ever.
I have to give credit to Tucker Carlson who predicted this would happen and would also predict that Biden would drop out of the race. No wonder FoxNews got rid of him. Too much truth.
God’s hand has protected Trump from the Satanic far-left Communists. When Trump is reelected, it’s time to purge this country. Any person who threatens the life of the President [that includes all social media websites] gets hard time in the slammer.

Biden’s Parkinson’s Disease – – – -Exclusive Report
Biden has Parkinson’s Disease
EricReports Exclusive
President Joe Biden’s secret diagnosis is Parkinson’s Disease, the more serious form known as “Postural Instability and Gait Disorders”. Biden’s symptoms were evident during the debate: i.e., the President’s shuffling walk, mental “freezing”, beginnings of dementia and stiff, robotic movements.
Parkinson’s Disease Brain Scan
Family members of Joe Biden are in discussion about what to do in regards to the failing health of the President. The family’s hope (especially Jill and Hunter Biden) will be that the President is able to function well enough to be re-elected.
Biden during the debate. Lost and confused.
If the mainstream media had been doing its job, they would’ve reported a long time ago that Biden was no longer qualified to be President. The big question is: who’s been running the country for the last two years?
The DNC wants an open convention to pick their candidate of choice. In the meantime, we have no president. What will America do if there’s another 9/11? If China invades Taiwan? If Covid-2 breaks out? Who will make the decisions?

Debate Analysis
For the last two years, EricReports.com has commented on the growing senility of faux Pres. Joe Biden. Suddenly on June 27th, the mainstream media discovered it, when there were no longer able to hide it. At age 81, Biden tottered out, pale, ashen, a spent force. Like a broken wide-up doll, “Sleepy Joe” went thru the motions. Each candidate claimed they were the worst president in U.S. history.
Biden’s Worst Moments
There were many. The first 15 minutes Biden appeared as if wouldn’t be able to make it thru the debate. His voice was difficult to hear at times. Campaign staff said he had a cold. Baloney. His messages were fumbled and confused.
Biden: “We finally beat Medicare.”
Trump: “You beat Medicare to death.”
Biden said no servicemen were killed during his term. That was false. 13 Marines were killed upon our disastrous exit from Afghanistan by a suicide bomber.
Biden also remarked that the U.S. has “a thousand trillionaires.”
Biden’s Best Moments
For those who hate Trump, Biden threw them some red meat by saying Trump was a Nazi who fucks porn stars. That old chestnut.
Trump’s Best Moments
Biden mumbled something while staring off into the distance.
Trump: “I don’t know what he just said and I don’t think he knows either.”
Trump defended the Jan. 6th protestors who have been held in prison without due process of law. Biden said he’s glad they’re in prison.
Trump spoke about our border or lack thereof, saying terrorists and the criminally insane have invaded our country by the millions.
Trump blamed Biden’s “Green New Deal” for wasting trillions of dollars as well as money poured into the losing war in Ukraine.
In the last half hour, Biden began to rally, but it was too little, too late. Both candidates gave closing statements which were run-of-the-mill.
Aftermath
The MSM and Dems quickly admitted defeat saying Biden should step down for the good of the Party.
Prediction: Biden will be replaced by VP Kamala Harris.
CNN’s poll stated that 67% thought Trump won, compared to Biden’s 33%. (Which means 33% were paid to be there.)
Set-Up?
Q. Did the DNC deliberately setup Biden to fail early on? This was the earliest debate ever, pre-convention, meaning it gives Democrats time to find another candidate.
Inadvertently, CNN’s new format benefited Trump. Cutting off the microphones, allowed Biden to ramble on incoherently. During CNN’s split-screens, Biden appeared bewildered, slack-jawed, and old, old, old. This will be the most decisive debate since Nixon lost to Kennedy in 1960.
Do I feel sorry for Biden? No. This is karma for 2020.

Upcoming Presidential Debate
What is there to expect from the June 27th 2024 Presidential debate?
- Biden will be given all of the debate questions in advance.
- MSM/moderators will be biased in favor of Biden.
- Biden will be given his favorite drug of choice to keep him going through the debate.
- Biden will be fed the answers through a hidden wireless transmitter.
- Biden/MSM will concentrate on Trump’s legal problems and conviction.
- The last disastrous three and a half years of the Biden Administration will be ignored.
- If Biden gets through the debate without falling down, he will be declared the winner.
- The good news is that Trump is still running on all eight cylinders and despite the fact that all the odds are against him, real Americans know he is the real winner.

Trump’s Conviction
Protestors after the verdict
On May 30, 2024, former President Donald Trump was found guilty by a New York grand jury for the crime of “falsifying business records”. This goes to the question as to whether Trump paid hush money to porn actress Stormy Daniels. Trump denies any wrongdoing and is appealing the case. This could be dragged through the courts for years. Conceivably, Trump could pardon himself if re-elected. (Something I don’t recommend.)
Stormy Daniels
While the MSM has commented that this is the first time a President has been convicted of a felony in court (and it is), if then Pres. Richard Nixon has not resigned and been pardoned by his successor Pres. Gerald Ford, he would have been convicted for crimes relating to Watergate. (Obstruction of Justice.)
The hatred from the Democrats for Nixon and Trump is the same. Back in 1974, there was the same level of hysteria from Democrats who proclaimed that “Our Republic will be destroyed,” if Nixon wasn’t removed from office. Today, it’s “The end of Democracy”. Nothing changes, except for the names and faces. All of this stems from the deep state’s hatred of Trump. The usual suspects are: Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, George Soros, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer and the mainstream media.
Will this hurt Trump’s chance for re-election? Slightly. Hardcore Trump fans will vote for him no matter what. Then there are the Democrats who vote Dems every time. It’s the undecided (especially women) who may be affected by it. The MSM and those at the Democratic Convention will call Trump “a convicted felon.” They’ll show pictures of Trump in an orange jumpsuit behind bars. (That isn’t going to happen.)
If and I say if, Biden is re-elected, despite the inflation, the rampant crime, 18 million illegal aliens and two lost wars (Afghanistan and Ukraine), the American people will wake up to a deep dark future.

No Voter I.D. because…
To obtain a driver’s license, you have to show forms of identification: a birth certificate, a passport, a utility bill, etc. To vote, it’s a free-for-all. Anybody with a pulse can vote…and in some cases, even that isn’t necessary.
It’s well known, Nixon lost the 1960 General Election by a narrow margin, credited to ballot-box stuffing for the winner John Kennedy.
It is 2024 and we, as a nation, still have no voter I.D. card. It’s obvious why.
In 2020, Biden would win every swing state with the infamous Covid ballots – voter dumps without proof of verifications as to who was voting or where they came from. Counterfeits ballots.
2024. Some 18 million illegal aliens have invaded our borders, courtesy of the Biden-Obama doctrine. Will they be allowed to vote? What’s to stop them? We our living in a lawless country. Despite what the MSM broadcasts, they are not “pilgrims”. They are young men of military age. Many are from the Middle East and Northern Africa – Muslim nations. These people have no intention of assimilating. They are jihadists. This is Obama’s revenge on the United States. He is the front man for the Weather Underground, a domestic terrorist group. For those who have read Obama’s autobiography “Dreams from my Father”, (ghostwritten by Bill Ayers), you’ll discover Obama is a hater of Western colonist powers. He is a foreign-born Marxist-Muslim punishing America for perceived past wrongdoing.
The Democratic Party is willing to put up with this criminal behavior as a means for more power. If the Republican Party is out-numbered by the millions of illegals entering the USA, the Dems are fine with it. But, like a Frankenstein monster, the future does not bode well for us. As we have seen in Europe, it’s being overrun by Muslim immigrants who rape and murder their way across the Western world. All of this done to win an election.

Is Biden being eased out?
Biden: 81 years old and doesn’t look a day over 90.
Biden is a walking-talking gaffe. No one knows what he’ll do or say next. If re-elected, by early-mid 2025, you’ll see less and less of him and more and more of, as Biden calls her, “the black Indian”.
Will Biden go away quietly? Depends on his condition. Dems are afraid one day “Creepy Joe” will blurt out the truth one day about the rigged election. Or…
Does Biden actually believe he won?
How self-aware is Biden? Back in 2020, Biden was told “for the good of the country” there’d be some voting irregularities designed for his eventual victory. And he was fine with it. Now, I think Biden has talked himself into believing he won.
Many insiders have called Biden’s 2021-2024 term, Obama’s 3rd term. Many of the controlling forced behind “Sleepy Joe” will do the same for the new faux Pres. Kamala Harris. (Will she be controlled?)
If the DNC is running a propped-up illusionary democracy, all future Democratic presidents will be beholden to the criminal system that put them there.

Election ’24-Before It Happens
Faux Pres. Biden said he’d be happy to debate Trump. Yeah, right. Biden knows the MSM is 100% in the bag for him. He also expects to win any swing state by the same method of 2020 – stopping the ballot-counting and then re-starting it with counterfeit drop-off ballots. This idea fails if Trump is too far ahead. Even the crooked DNC can’t steal a landslide victory.
THREE OUTCOMES
1.) 2024 is a repeat of 2020. Trump wins – and there is no way possible he can’t win with the economy the way it is – but, Dems steal it again by claiming a narrow victory in the state of Pennsylvania. (Corrupt state officials have already promised it to Biden.)
2.) Trump wins and the Dems go ape shit. They’re planning to say the Trump win is a steal. (Not sure how that happen since Dems control the election process.) Dems will do what they do best: riot and protest. The MSM calls it “exercising their 1st Amendment rights.” When the Republicans do it, it’s called an “insurrection”.
3.) Trump and/or Biden don’t run. Biden may suddenly drop out because of his vegetative mind or he may just die of old age. As Tucker Carlson has predicted, Trump may be assassinated: a victim of the deep state. Replacements: VP Kamala Harris, Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom, FL. Gov. Ron DeSantis or whoever Trump picks as his running mate.

Elvis Death
The last photo of Elvis Presley taken at the gates of Graceland.
August 16, 1977. The first person to see Elvis Presley dead was his fiancée Ginger Alden. It had been six hours since she had last checked on him. (Elvis former girlfriend Linda Thompson would not have let this happen.) Elvis was found face down in front of the toilet. Ginger assumed he had fallen into a drug-induced sleep. Turning his head to see his purple face and his tongue caught between his teeth proved otherwise.
The head of Elvis’s security force Joe Esposito was called in. Turning Elvis over, a gasp of air escaped. Joe, too, wrongly thought his boss might still be alive. The fact was Elvis had been dead for over two hours. Rigor mortis had already set in.
An ambulance was called. Joe tried CPR and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The household staff became alert to the emergency. Worst of all, so did Elvis’s daughter Lisa Marie who tried to run in the bathroom. Ginger blocked her, locking the door.
The ambulance team was told by Elvis half-brother Rick Stanley that it might be an overdose. (He should know. He, along with Elvis’s dentist administered the fatal medications.) It took five men to place Elvis on the gurney. The King had ballooned to 255 pounds.
Elvis’s doctor, Dr. “Nick” Nichopoulos and Joe Esposito boarded the ambulance. Ginger, who had finally made up her mind to go, had the back of the ambulance door shut in her face.
Dr. “Nick” feverishly worked at reviving the corpse that rocked the world.
Meanwhile, back at Graceland, Ginger consoled eight year old Lisa saying that her Daddy would be all right. Others prayed.
Adrenalin was injected into the heart in a futile attempt to resurrect the fallen King. An ambulance worker said it looked like Elvis was already dead. These desperate attempts at life soon faded. Elvis Presley – the King of Rock and Roll was pronounced dead from cardiac arrhythmia at 3:30 p.m.
The last jumpsuit that fit him – the Aztec sun design
PostScript
Col. Parker with Elvis
Col. Tom Parker would continue to manage Elvis’s legacy, collecting 75% instead of 50%. This would continue until Lisa Marie reached maturity; whereupon, it was revealed that the Colonel had been scamming the Presley family for over thirty years.
Ginger Alden was shut out from the Presley family after appearing in an exploitation film titled “Living Legend: The King of Rock and Roll”. In 2014, she would write a book about their affair titled “Elvis and Ginger”.

Elvis Suicide (Part IV)
Elvis ex-wife Priscilla and his half-brother Rick Stanley have either said or implied that Elvis Presley killed himself with a deliberate drug overdose. Their theory goes that Elvis saved up his medications (known as “attacks”) and then took them all at once. Is there a hole in this theory? Possibly.
Elvis and Ginger Alden (1977)
Elvis’s girlfriend Ginger Alden was sleeping in the next room. Wouldn’t she save him if awakened? (Except, she didn’t.)
Additionally, I don’t believe Elvis would want to die by a toilet or commit suicide with his daughter Lisa Marie in the house.
The Turning Point – 1976
Col. Tom Parker and Elvis argued over the amount of money he way paying his new backup group named *****. Parker said they weren’t worth $100,000, only $50,000. “El” said he would pay them whatever he wanted. In truth, ***** was being paid extra for supplying the “King of Rock ‘n Roll” cocaine. Elvis’s bodyguard Red West attacked a member of the group, saying he would break one of his bones for each drug transaction he made in the future. Soon after, Red was reprimanded by his boss Elvis in front of Sonny West. After a long discussion, Elvis finally told Red, “I need it, man. I need it.”
Written by his bodyguards shortly after they were fired.
August 1, 1977. The scandal book “Elvis – What Happened?” had been released, detailing the years of drug abuse. The “King” had plans to deny all by writing his own book and by marrying Ginger. Unfortunately, his appearance in “Elvis in Concert” only proved what the book was saying: that his life had become a train wreck.
Elvis 1977
In my opinion, the drugs taken on Aug. 15-16 1977, had a culminative effect. The steady buildup of nearly a dozen drugs (Codeine, Quaaludes) built up in Elvis’s system, causing a fatal reaction. Did he plan it that way? I don’t see proof. Like most addicts, “El” was in denial and thought he had it under control. It was only a matter of time before it killed him.

Christine Chubbuck – Death by Loneliness
Christine Chubbuck (1944-1974)
On July 15, 1974, news reporter Christine Chubbuck committed suicide, on air, by shooting herself in the head. Her following statement took place after reading the news: “In keeping with Channel 40’s policy of bringing you the latest in blood and guts and in living color, you are going to see another first. An attempted suicide.”
Actress Rebecca Hall as Christine Chubbuck
“Christine” is a 2016 film, a docudrama detailing the last days of Ms. Chubbuck. Actress Rebecca Hall had only fifteen minutes of surviving video left to work with. (The video was from “Suncoast Digest”; the Sarasota, Florida news program she hosted.)
How accurate “Christine” is, is something only Ms. Chubbuck would know. Her fellow co-workers would detail what happened, but ask yourself, if your life was put on film by those who knew you, would they get it right?
PLOT. Christine Chubbuck, 29, works for a small TV-news station. She seems to strive for excellence, yet can’t get along with her boss…or anyone else. She has few friends, no boyfriends, no social life and feels unfulfilled. She lives with her mother who has a boyfriend. The mother can’t help, except to offer advice or a return to psychiatric care. (Christine had attempted suicide four years earlier.)
A trip to the doctor finds a cyst on her ovaries. The doctor tells her she needs an operation, leaving Christine with only a few years left to conceive.
Christine’s love interest is a fellow newscaster, who as it turns out, is having an affair with her best friend. When she finds out, the die is cast.
Much can be said about this true story.. that it’s emblematic of modern women with a career, but no love life or family of their own. In the world we live in, some people can’t survive or adapt to modern times.
For me, those who knew Christine failed her. They didn’t give of themselves. They weren’t available. Why she took herself out in such a public way – live and on television – only Christine can answer.

The Crow Aftermath
Following Brandon Lee’s sudden death, the filmmakers originally did not want to complete “The Crow”.
Shortly before his death, Brandon Lee would do his last interview contained on home video.
$18 million had already been p0ured into the troubled production. To the press, it was told the movie would be finished because “Brandon would have wanted it that way.” In reality, it was done because too much money had been invested.
Completion
Eight days remained on the shooting schedule. Most of what was missing was Brandon Lee’s portrayal of Eric Draven BEFORE his character was killed. Fortunately, enough of the backstory was filmed for it to make sense. Director Alex Proyas would cut this down t0 a series of montages. The role of Shelly Webster (played by Sofia Shinas) would be reduced.
Consequently, “The Crow” would be mostly about the returned-to-life avenger and not the indie rock star and front-man for the band called “Hangman’s Joke”.
Digital and CGI effects were in their infancy back in 1993. Nevertheless, through clever editing, rotoscopes, doubling and CGI, what wasn’t filmed with Lee was done with the art of special effects.
The cast and crew had mixed feelings about finishing “The Crow” without Brandon. A few of the crew quit. The Lee family decided it was the right thing to do, so the public would get to see him in his star-making role.
The studio that was signed on to distribute it – Paramount – backed out. The up-and-coming Miramax (headed by Bob and Harvey Weinstein) saw its potential. “There’s no such thing as bad publicity,” said Harvey Weinstein. “The Crow” would be released on May 13, 1994, reaching #1 at the box office.
The soundtrack album would achieve similar success.
Actress Rochelle Davis (Sarah) asked if an hour and a half movie was worth someone’s life.
Rochelle Davis as Sarah in “The Crow”
On the VHS version of “The Crow”, Brandon Lee’s said without equivocation that he would do the same thing as Eric Draven . . . This kind of violence was justified. It would be cut from the Blu Ray edition.

The Crow – The Ultimate Snuff Film
On March 30, 1993, actor Brandon Lee was fatally shot on the set of “The Crow”. After a great deal of controversy, the film was completed with a body double and digital effects. Upon its 1994 release, it received praise, especially for Lee’s final performance.
Brandon Lee starred in “The Crow” (1994) – his last film.
What Went Wrong?
Over the years, numerous conspiracy theories have developed. EricReports.com leaves nothing off the table. Let us deal with the facts of evidence.
MISTAKE #1
A box of live ammo was brought on set to be used as a prop.
While this ammo was removed and placed in a car, crew members were aware of its existence.
MISTAKE #2
Live ammo was used to make homemade blank cartridges.
For a 2nd unit scene, blanks were needed for a closeup of a gun firing. The same aforementioned crew members retrieved this live ammunition and made their own blank cartridges by screwing off the tip of the bullet and tapping out the primer (gunpowder.) Residue of the gunpowder was left over, enough for the tip of the bullet to be ejected into the barrel of the gun when it was fired. No one was injured yet, but the bullet’s tip was left behind in the barrel.
MISTAKE #3
No gun expert (armorer) was used for the fatal scene.
While “The Crow” used armorers for earlier sequences that contained semi and fully automatic weaponry, none was used for the .44 caliber revolver. This was done to save money.
MISTAKE #4
A prop-master was used instead of a gun expert.
The prop-master in question was young and inexperienced. Two weeks would go by before the fatal scene with Brandon Lee. In that time, the gun had not been checked or cleaned.
MISTAKE #5
Michael Massee, the actor who fired the gun at Brandon Lee, wasn’t told to point it away from Lee.
Michael Massee
Cost-cutting measures, inexperienced crew members, 18-hour work shifts and constant pressure to finish the movie in eight weeks, led to an unsafe set where somebody was bound to get hurt or killed . . . and that’s exactly what happened.
Actress Sofia Shinas, who played Lee’s fiancée Shelley, stated that she had a premonition someone would be hurt during filming. She just didn’t know who.
Sofia Shinas
THE LAST SCENE
Brandon Lee (as Eric Draven) enters through an apartment doorway holding a bag of groceries. Inside, his fiancée Shelley (Sofia Shinas) is being attacked by a gang of thugs. Funboy (Michael Massee) wildly swings his arm in the direction of Lee, firing the .44 Magnum.
The scene continued on until its conclusion. Those who witnessed it believed Lee was acting when he fell down. But, a witness said they heard him say “Cut” and make a hand gesture to stop the scene. Afterwards, he never regained consciousness. Lee would die on set, then be revived by a medic performing CPR and an emergency tracheotomy.
Rushed to the hospital, Brandon Lee would die on the operating table early the next morning. The .44 Magnum tip would be found at the base of his spine. By the time Lee’s mother and sister arrived he was already dead.
Eliza Hutton and Brandon Lee were engaged to be married the following month.
Officially, the last scene was examined by police and then destroyed. (If that is true.)
The film company Carolco was fined for carelessness. Lee’s family received an out-of-court settlement.
It was decided to complete the film: “In honor of the memory of Brandon Lee.”
ALTERNATE THEORIES
Before filming, threats were made by anonymous sources not to make this movie.
Brandon Lee had planned to investigate what really caused the death of his father, Bruce Lee, who died in 1973, from an allergic reaction to Equagesic. Bruce Lee’s last incomplete film “Game of Death” contains a scene where his character is shot on set.
From “Game of Death”
The Illuminati is an upper echelon that secretly controls government and business with ties to Satanism. (Blood sacrifice.) Often times, their crime is hidden in plain sight. How much more obvious can it be made to kill your victim on camera, on film, with everybody watching?
Bruce Lee, Brandon Lee – Like father, like son
Family Curse. Because Bruce Lee taught the martial arts to non-Asians, the Chinese triad placed a curse on the Lee family. Bruce Lee would die under mysterious circumstances at the age of 32. Son Brandon would die of a gunshot wound – age 28.
CONCLUSION
Since then, “The Crow” has continued to make money with sequels, a TV series and on home video. A 4K release is coming this year.
Brandon Lee comments in the “Extras” section of “The Crow”. “We do not know when we will die. How many times will we experience a certain event – an event that helped shape our lives?”
Those who were on set said Brandon was having the time of his life before he died and believed “The Crow” would be a new beginning for him. In a way, it was.

“Rust” Verdict
Armorer Hannah Guiterrez-Reid was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the 2021 shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the unfinished film called “Rust”. Hutchins would be fatally shot while discussing/rehearsing a scene with actor/producer Alec Baldwin, who claims he did not pull the trigger.
Halyna Hutchins stands in front of the Illuminati eye.
Earlier, the gun had been used for target practice; however, the defendants maintain they don’t know how or why a live round was used instead of a blank cartridge.
Alec Baldwin’s trial is set for July.

Dems Can’t Win
Michelle Obama won’t run in 2024
There’s little to no chance of former First Lady Michelle Obama running for the Presidency in 2024 for one good reason. The Democrats are about to have their fat asses handed to them on a silver platter. The big M.O. knows it. Trump is winning in every major poll and is even making inroads with people under 30 and blacks. If the Republicans can’t win against the vegetable Biden, it’s time for them to turn in their penis.
The biggest loser of 2024 is Nikki Haley. A fake, propped-up candidate and a tool of the left. She was designed to somehow steal it from Trump. What a joke.
VP Kamala Harris loses, even if she inherits the Presidency from the fossil. They’ll say she wasn’t duly elected and they would be right.
It was pure, dumb luck Biden was chosen (not elected) as President: the Covid ballots, the riots and the other candidates being forced to quit. It was pretty much handed to him.
2024 is another story. We’ve seen what he can do, which isn’t much, except for eating ice cream. If you’re happy with a crumbling economy, open borders and lost wars, vote Biden.
Dems and the MSM still try to portray illegal aliens as Mexicans looking for work. I wish that were true. The new immigrants are from North Africa and Arabic (terrorist) countries. How’d that happen?
Obama, the closet President
People may expect miracles from Trump. As President, if he deports the terrorists who are sneaking across our borders, stops printing money indiscriminately, lowers fuel prices, stops giving handouts to grifters, puts our nation’s interests first and stays out of any unnecessary wars, we’ll be all right.

EricReports Choice for VP
EricReports.com endorses former Democrat and Rep. of Hawaii TULSI GABBARD to serve as Donald Trump’s Vice-President for 2024. Nothing would drive the Democrats more insane than one of their former own serving under our next President.
Nikki Haley Quits
JUDAS GOAT
NIKKI HALEY QUITS RACE
Following Super Tuesday, where Nikki Haley lost every state except Vermont, the fake propped-up anti-Trump “Republican” candidate has officially dropped out of the 2024 Presidential race. Biden commented that he hopes those who voted for Haley would vote for him. Was there any doubt?
It’s no secret RINO Nikki Haley was being funded by Democrats to ruin Trump’s nomination. Top Democrat donors were the only ones keeping her campaign going. (Reid Hoffman gave $250,000.) Some far left wackos voted for her in the primaries. It wasn’t enough for her to win.
Haley’s role model and reason for running, she said, was Hillary Clinton. Would a Republican say that?
Her main talking point was that Trump can’t beat Joe Biden. And she could?!
While I still believe VP Harris will run, if Biden runs and wins, it is solid proof the Dems stole it in 2020. Biden has the thinking power of a cheese ball. There’s no way possible for him to win in 2024 without cheating and the left know it.

DOJ declares Biden – “Elderly man with a poor memory…”
Feb. 8, 2024. Department of Justice Special Council Robert Hur announced that criminal charges would be dropped against (faux) President Joe Biden, because a jury would not convict him based on his “poor memory”. In the report, Biden was faulted with recklessness in his handling of classified documents he brought to his home and stored in his garage. (To be used for his autobiography.) Biden would read off this “Top Secret” information to his ghostwriter in violation of Federal Law.
It was also commented on that Biden couldn’t remember when his son Beau died or what years he was vice-president.
Biden would fight back in an ill-advised press conference, wherein he appeared, as previously described – old, forgetful, confused and cantankerous.
THE REASON WHY BIDEN IS STILL PRESIDENT
Under normal circumstances, Biden would be removed from office based on the U.S. Constitution’s 25th Amendment. But, the DNC has significant clout as does First Lady Jill Biden, who wants her husband to run and win again. Reportedly, “Dr.” Jill hates Trump and while knowing her husband is in the advanced stages of senility, pushes him to continue as President, when he is no longer capable. It’s clear Biden’s (Obama’s) inner circle is running the show.
Also, isn’t it a foregone conclusion that if the same apparatus that won it for Biden in 2020, would do the same for him in 2024?
To make it seem less obvious, the cheaters will allow Trump to win more swing states than last time. Make it a squeaker. Biden wins by one state, e.g. Pennsylvania.
The MSM is 100% in Biden’s camp. When Biden is declared the winner – history repeats itself all over again.
The DNC, Biden, Obama, and others involved will continue on with the second biggest steal of the century.
What are the Republicans going to do about it? Another January 6th? Don’t think so. An investigation? They did that last time. The so-called investigation found that there was cheating, but not enough to change the election, which is an oxymoron. If you admit there was cheating, why don’t you say how much? Is it because you don’t know or don’t want to say because it would destroy the system?
As the deep-state swamp was forced to accept Obama as President, even though he is foreign-born, likewise, they were forced to accept the stolen 2020 Election, to save the system.
The best chance Trump has to win is if Biden has a stroke and is a total vegetable. Trump vs. Kamala Harris. Something, the DNC fears and dreads.
