Part 3-The Plot to Kill Trump
Diagram of the location in Butler, Pennsylvania where Thomas Crooks attempted to assassinate Donald J. Trump.
July 12th 2024, the day before Trump speaks at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania…
The investment firm known as Austin Private Wealth, LLC placed a 12 million share put-option on DJT (Donald J. Trump Media.) You could call this a massive insider’s bet. Trump’s stock would plunge if Donald Trump was assassinated the following day. Whomever invested would reap a fortune, if . . .
The last video image of Thomas Crooks before he shot.
July 13th 2024. Thomas Matthew Crooks, age 20, manages to evade local police, the Department of Homeland Security and the Secret Service, climbing a roof before onlookers and firing as many as eight shots at the Republican nominee for President – Donald J. Trump. Trump turns his head at the last second, gesturing to a large outdoor screen and is wounded in his right ear. If the former and future President had not turned his head, he would have been killed with a fatal head shot.
Screenshot of Austin Private Wealth short stock bet one day prior to the near-assassination of Donald Trump.
Austin Private Wealth explains this away as a “clerical error”. In reality, they quickly dumped the deal and got out fast, blaming it on a “third party vendor”.
Who was involved? Who invested?
BlackRock, the same company that just happened to have Thomas Crooks in one of their commercials. Add the Bush family, George Soros and the Rothchilds.
Who funded Thomas Crooks? A half-dozen cell phones, explosives ready to be set off remotely, three encrypted overseas accounts in Belgium, New Zealand and Germany and a drone: who helped Crooks gain access and plan this elaborate attempt on Trump’s life? Who told Crooks security would be lax or non-existent? How was the head of the S.S. Kimberly Cheatle involved?
MSM
The mainstream media was already geared up and ready to blame Iran – IF Trump had been killed. Was this part of the plan? A war with Iran? As promised for the military industrial complex? If Trump had been assassinated and Biden re-elected, we already know a continued war in Ukraine versus Russia was planned. Was WWIII right around the corner? What world would we be living in today?

Part 2-The Plot to Kill Trump
Video: New York Post with Dana Kennedy. (Featuring Private Investigator Doug Hagmann.)
Please watch video which is eight minutes.
WHAT YOU MUST KNOW
The FBI refuses to reveal what was on Thomas Crooks cell phones or on his overseas encrypted accounts.
Investigator finds pings emanating from Crooks home, school, gun club and the rally location where the shooting took place. Did these pings come from the Pentagon itself?
Katie Crooks (sister to Thomas Crooks) is being protected by two bodyguards. She works as a janitor. Who is paying them?
Bethel Park neighbors deny the MSM’s false version of Crooks.
The gun club where Crooks practiced is the same firing range used for the DHS (Dept. of Homeland Security.) The DHS agents along with the Secret Service (headed by Jill Biden’s best friend Kimberly Cheatle) are the ones who failed to protect Trump on July 13th.
WHO BENEFITED?
At the time of the shooting, Biden’s campaign was failing and poll numbers falling after his disastrous debate performance. If Trump had not turned his head and had been fatally shot, more than likely Biden would still be President. (With Kamala Harris soon to follow.)
For the Secret Service, who stood-down and let Trump get shot at eight times, these orders had to come from the very top. There is no doubt Biden’s inner circle (those individuals who made the decisions and ran this country for four years) wanted another four years. That includes Obama and the Bidens.
Most people who believe what they hear on the mainstream media don’t want to believe their leaders are capable of being in on the plot to kill Trump.
The facts speak for themselves.

The Plot to Kill Trump
Video: Wolves and Finance with Zach De Gregorio
The mainstream media has memory-holed the two assassination attempts on President Donald J. Trump. Unbelievably, the MSM shows more interest in the JFK files dating back more than sixty years instead of an ongoing crime investigation for our current President. Why is that? Could it be that the people Trump was running against had something to do with it? News outlets dismiss everything except for the “Lone Gunman Theory”. The above video should explain why Thomas Crooks did not act alone. While it would take many volumes of research to adequately chronicle what happened, I’ll briefly summarize the facts. You be the judge.
On June 27, 2024, former President Trump debated then-President Joe Biden. It was widely agreed on by both sides of the political spectrum that Biden lost the debate big time, the aged President appearing confused, lost and incoherent. Trump’s poll rating are on the rise. Democrats fear the worst.
A dazed Biden says, “We finally beat Medicare.”
Both Kamala Harris and Jill Biden just happened to be in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024 when someone tried to kill Trump.
On July 13, 2024, then-VP Kamala Harris as well as former First Lady Jill Biden were both in Pennsylvania, taking the best of the Secret Service agents with them. Then-Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump would receive agents from the Department of Homeland Security, many of whom did not know what they were doing. Kimberly Cheatle, the director of the Secret Service, would be forced to resign over her failure and refusal to give an explanation as to why her agents did not protect Trump. (Note: S.S. Director Cheatle was close personal friends with Jill Biden.)
Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle (nicknamed Kimberly Cheetos) was chosen by First Lady Jill Biden.
Some will say the Secret Service was doing its job because the would-be assassin Thomas Crooks was shot and killed . . . but not before eight shots were fired at Trump, wounding two and killing one. Trump had a portion of his ear shot off.
The FBI made sure to ruin the DNA evidence by hosing down the roof and cremating Thomas Crooks body.
Who was Thomas Crooks talking to on his cell phones?
Thomas Crooks used a drone to survey the location. The U.S. Secret Service did not.
Originally reported as Thomas Crooks bicycle. It has since disappeared.
Originally, the media reported that Crooks arrived at the rally on a bicycle. This turned out to belong to his accomplice, now long forgotten.
In the video, we can see a man dressed in camo-gear aiming his rifle directly at Trump as he gets into the SUV. He is receiving messages through headphones. After Trump enters the SUV, the rifleman lowers his gun and quickly leaves. Who was this man? Was he Thomas Crooks back-up? If he had fired, would the media explain it as an accidental shooting? (Some believe Pres. Kennedy was fatally shot by a Secret Service agent who accidently fired after the first shot. Was this meant to happen again and then called off because it would look too suspicious?)
The gun that didn’t fit.
How did Thomas Crooks smuggle an assault rifle into the venue? As the video shows, it’s too large to fit into the backpack. Some have suggested it was handed to him from someone inside the building he was perched on.
CNN had full live coverage of this Trump rally when normally these left-wing news outlets refuse to broadcast Trump. Why would CNN be broadcasting this live from the little-known township of Butler, Pennsylvania?
The bullet that narrowly missed Pres. Trump.
Why would a photographer be using a special lens on his camera at the perfect speed to catch the bullet in mid-flight – the one that grazed Trump’s ear? It’s as if they knew this was going to happen.
Many have noted the different sound of gunshots; the rifle fire heard from the first three shots, compared to the last five. How many people were firing?
According to the video, the T-shirt worn by the man found dead on the roof doesn’t match the one worn by Crooks in an earlier video. Was there a second assassin who resembled Thomas Crooks? Was Crooks a convenient patsy?
In the video, Pres. Trump mentions that Crooks’ family is being represented by a high-priced law firm. Where’d they get the money? Did T. Crooks have an off-shore bank account?
It’s apparent that after the shooting, Crooks intended to set off an explosive device by remote control and then make his escape. How did he have the know-how to do this elaborate assassination plot? There’s no way possible a twenty-year-old punk kid could carry out such a plan by himself.
The mainstream media is good at playing dumb at what happened because they don’t want to admit those within the Democratic Party had something to do with this near-assassination attempt.
Since Trump took office, he’s worked at a breakneck speed, accomplishing more in two months than Joe Biden did in four years. Is it because he knows time is limited and that another plot is in the works against our President?

Another Helicopter Crash
The Shining – Subliminal Messages
A multitude of theories exist to the meaning of Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Stephen King’s novel, “The Shining.” What most people don’t understand is that Kubrick was inserting elements that would (or wouldn’t) be understood (or misunderstood) in time. He was making a movie to challenge himself.
THE COLOR YELLOW – ORIGINAL 1980 POSTER
The original poster colors were yellow and black. The color of the Torrance’s VW is yellow. Kubrick said, “Yellow is the color of fear.” The real reason was that during the Nazi regime, Hitler forced Jews to wear a yellow Star of David on their sleeve. Stanley Kubrick was a Jew.
HITLER REFERENCE
In the final scene, the last shot dissolves. For half a second, we see a Hitler mustache on Jack Nicholson and the date 1921 – the year Hitler became the leader of the Nazi Party.
AS ABOVE, SO BELOW
In the framed black & white photography, Jack holds one hand up, the other down. The “As above, so below” gesture used by Satanists in the Illuminati. Kubrick would go to greater lengths on the subject in “Eyes Wide Shut” (1999.)
AMERICAN INDIAN REFERENCES
It’s revealed that the Overlook Hotel was built on Indian burial ground. (This was two years before “Poltergeist” used the same plot device.)
When Danny envisions blood pouring out of the elevators, it’s because the ground underneath them contains the bodies and the blood of the Indians.
THE NUMBER 11 – THE SHINING – STANLEY’S KUBRICK’S 11TH FILM
Danny wears an Apollo 11 sweater – an obvious reference to the rumor that Kubrick filmed a fake moon landing.
CATCHER IN THE RYE
Mark David Chapman and “The Catcher in the Rye”
J.D. Salinger’s “Catcher in the Rye” became well known as the book Mark David Chapman was reading when he shot John Lennon. Early in the film, we see Wendy reading it. Is this book a trigger? What’s so eerie about it is that “The Shining” was released six months before Lennon’s murder. Chapman explained his motive for the murder: to draw attention to Salinger’s novel.
ROOM 237
What is Room 237? It appears to be a portal to another dimension.
Both Danny and Jack have “the shining” (E.S.P.) Both enter the forbidden room.
After Danny is attacked by the woman in Room 237, Jack investigates. Once inside, he encounters a nude woman who kisses him, then turns into a cancer-ridden old crone. When questioned by Wendy, he has no memory of it.
VOICES
When Danny and Mr. Halloran have a conversation in the kitchen, other worldly voices can be heard.
ABBEY ROAD clue
“The Shining” (1980) and The Beatles album cover for “Abbey Road” (1969.)
Many will notice the peculiar lineup wherein the four characters from “The Shining” all walk together in a straight line and how it resembled the cover to The Beatles album titled “Abbey Road”. (Their final record.) Was Stanley Kubrick and the Illuminati warning us of the connection between Mark David Chapman and Jack Torrance? (Trained brainwashed assassins.) Who or what made the fictional character of Jack Torrance go insane? Who or what made Chapman shoot and kill John Lennon?
FINAL SEQUENCE CUT
After the Shining’s premiere, director Kubrick would edit out the finale. The original conclusion shows Wendy recovering in the hospital. Mr. Ullman tells her that Jack’s body was never found. He invites her and Danny to his home to recuperate, then hands the mysterious ball over to Danny. Mr. Ullman obviously knows more than he is telling. Were the supernatural occurrences really a psyop to drive Jack Torrance insane? And by handing the ball over to Danny, does this mean he’s next?

Elvis Suicide? (Final Chapter)
August 15-16, 1977. Elvis Presley was in preparation for his next tour beginning on the 17th in Portland, Maine.
Advance ticket for the concert that never was.
Elvis and his then sometime live-in girlfriend Ginger Alden had some dental work done.
Returning to Graceland, “El” played racquetball on an added-on court. Afterward, he sang a few songs, one being “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain”.
Elvis and Ginger retired to their bedroom. According to Ginger, Elvis proposed to her announcing a Christmas wedding. There were several motives.
One. Elvis wanted a son.
Two. Elvis wanted his ex-wife Priscilla to know he didn’t need her anymore.
Three. This was being done to combat rumors the “King” was living a Howard Hughes-type existence, living in solitude, dependent on servants and a large supply of drugs. “Elvis: What Happened?”, a tell-all book by his fired bodyguards had been released on August 1st. “El” had already read an advance copy and was planning a rebuttal – an autobiography of his own titled, “Walk a Mile in My Shoes”.
According to his chef, Elvis had another girl ready to go with him for the start of the tour. Reason: Ginger Alden was his first modern woman. She refused to be molded, frequently stood him up, and at times, seemed uninterested. The other girl was a ploy to make Ginger jealous. If all went according to plan, “El” would publicly announce their engagement on the last day of the tour in Memphis.
DRUGS. Elvis’s stepbrother Rick Stanley theorized that Elvis had saved all of his sleeping medication (three packets) and took them all at once for a fatal overdose. True or not, drugs accumulate over time. The narcotics taken (along with the pain medication from the dentist) may have had a cumulative effect. Intentional or not, the ten drugs found in his system, built up to a fatal O.D.
COCAINE. No cocaine was found in Elvis’s system, but according to those around him, he was hooked on it. The habit began around 1970. Elvis began wearing sunglasses all the time to cover up his glazed expression.
(Above. Example of a drug-fueled Elvis singing “A Whole Lot-ta Shakin’ Goin’ On”)
1977. Elvis was under contract with RCA to record several albums a year. For that year, only “Moody Blue” had been released, containing his final studio recordings and a few added live songs. In January, Elvis refused to finish the album because Ginger failed to appear at his recording session. In June, a live TV special was recorded titled “Elvis in Concert”. (Released posthumously in October.) It was the number one rated program of the week. After a rerun in 1978, it wasn’t aired again except for pirated versions.
STUCK IN A RUT. As in the 1960’s with the movies, Elvis found himself trapped in a never-ending tour singing the same songs. A martial-arts documentary was abandoned. A chance to star with Barbra Streisand in “A Star is Born” fell through because Col. Parker made unrealistic demands. (Star billing, $1 million upfront and songs from his own composers.)
Elvis continued to sing saying he wanted to bring happiness to his fans. The King was also being sued, losing money in a bad investment deal and hadn’t saved anything for the future. Sadly, by age 42, his performances were suffering. HIs memory was fading, he was unable to move because of his weight and he knew it.
ANALYSIS. While suicide is not impossible, I believe Elvis’s death was accidental; the causes being a combination of drugs, being grossly overweight and too many years of neglect. Ginger Alden should have been more alert to the fact of his failing health. Previous girlfriend Linda Thompson remarked, “It didn’t happen on my watch.” By August 1977, Elvis needed 24-hour care and a full-time nurse.
Following his death, a resurgence of interest began in his music. Daughter Lisa Marie would also record three albums before her untimely death from the aftereffects of bariatric surgery.

Elon Musk Sues
Elon Musk
Elon Musk, head of Tesla, X and DOGE, has begun a slew of lawsuits against Twitch, Shell, Pinterest, Shell, Colgate-Palmolive, Tyson, Nestle, CVS and Lego for an ad boycott.
Musk is also suing Joy Behar and “The View” for false, misleading statements and defamation of character.
Additionally, a lawsuit is planned against Jamaal Bowman, former representative of New York and “Squad” member for calling Musk “a Nazi and a thief.” Bowman made the news in 2023 for pulling a fire alarm switch to delay a Congressional vote. He pled guilty to a misdemeanor and paid a $1,000 fine.
Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett has been warned by the Attorney General to “clarify her statement” made during a virtual rally for a “Tesla Takedown” where she said, “March 29th is my birthday and all I want to see happen is for Elon to be taken down.” Crockett said she didn’t mean it as “a call to violence.” Crockett is facing censure from Congress for calling Texas Gov. Abbott “a hot ass mess” and “Gov. Hot Wheels.” (Abbott is confined to a wheelchair.) Rep. Crockett recently admitted she hasn’t introduced any congressional bills, saying she is part of the “Resist Movement”.
Since Elon Musk bought Twitter (now X) he has faced the wrath of Democrats who previously censured President Trump and his followers.
With the rash of arson, protests, broken windows, graffiti and shots fired at Tesla dealerships, many have called these attacks of domestic terrorism as a symptom of “Musk Derangement Syndrome.” Democrats jumped the shark when they used a freeze-frame of Elon saying “My heart goes out to you,” and waving to Pres. Trump. The left, in turn, called this a “Nazi salute”. Dems, returning to their old ways of violent protests, have lost all credibility with the American public.

George Soros: Master Criminal
A brief comment on George Soros.
If the mainstream media ever did its job, we would know by now who was behind the conspiracy to kill President Donald J. Trump on July 13, 2024. It’s been eight months and thus far, the MSM’s explanation is that Thomas Crooks was a weird kid loner who was bullied and tried to shoot Trump with no motive. His media profile has been scrubbed. Crooks had an accomplice, someone with a backpack and a bicycle, but the media incorrectly (on purpose) blamed that on Crooks. We do know Crooks had a number of cell phones and an off-shore bank account. Most have forgotten that explosives were placed in his car. This was meant to be set off by remote control as a diversion while he escaped.
George Soros being the number one donor for the Democratic Party is the one who should be investigated as the mastermind behind the attempted assassination of President Donald J. Trump.

Tesla Dealerships Attacked
Vandalism, protests, gunfire and arson…what Democrat protestors do best have begun against Elon Musk and his Tesla dealerships. This is in reaction to DOGE – the Department of Government Efficiency – cutting the chronic waste of taxpayer’s dollars from spendthrift leftist leaders throwing away money on worthless projects or, in some cases, lining their own pockets. These Socialists have called upon their “brown-shirts”, the violent wing of the Democratic Party to bring violence to Musk – the leader of DOGE.
Domestic Terrorism
Explain to me how it’s okay for the liberals to cause damage, destroy cars and building, use gunfire and arson and trespass on private property. These are the same Democrats who called Jan. 6 an “insurrection”. The only murder to occur on Jan. 6th was against Ashli Babbitt, a Trump voter.
In response, President Trump has bought an $80,000 Tesla Model S (Deep Red.)

The Hackmans Cause of Death
Gene Hackman’s Oscar Memorial
The police coroner has determined the causes of death for actor Gene Hackman and his wife, legally known as Betsy Arakawa Hackman.
NARRATIVE
Mrs. Hackman was last seen on Feb. 11th at a veterinarian appointment with her dog, Xena. Afterward, she purchased some dog food and was seen at CVS pharmacy. At this stage, she had come in contact with a hantavirus, a disease carried by rodents in New Mexico. Where or how this happened is not known. 24 to 48 hours after Betsy’s last public appearance, she would succumb to the fatal effects of her illness. It’s assumed she did not know what she had and ignored the symptoms – maintaining her role as Gene Hackman’s wife and caregiver. The pills found by her side were thyroid medication.
Gene Hackman, (last publicly seen in March 2024 visiting his doctor) was in declining health. Reports state he suffered from Alzheimer’s and cardiovascular disease. Because Mr. Hackman didn’t phone 911, it’s believed he didn’t know what happened to his wife or didn’t know what to do. In the last five to seven days, Mr. Hackman was forced to fend for himself. On Feb. 18th, Gene Hackman collapsed and died from his earlier mentioned illnesses.
ERRORS IN JUDGMENT
Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa Hackman
The Hackmans lived a solitary existence on their large estate not accounting for what would happen if Betsy Arakawa wasn’t able to provide for her husband or care for herself.
Hackman’s three adult children had lost contact with their father, rarely calling. This embitterment was caused by being ignored when they were young while their father was making movies.
Actions or non-actions have consequences. What Gene Hackman thought of his children ignoring him in his final years isn’t known.

Trump Address Highlights
March 4, 2025. President Donald Trump addressed Congress in a rousing, no-holds-barred speech that left Democrats reeling.
The full speech lasted one hour and thirty-nine minutes. The above video is a half-hour compilation of the most exciting political theater I’ve seen in years. This is Trump unsurpassed, crushing his opponents and Term 2 has just begun.
Favorite moments: Dem. Rep. Al Green was removed for interrupting Trump’s speech and later censured. This is a clear message that Trump is unstoppable.
D.J. Daniel, age 13, recovering from brain cancer, was made an honorary Secret Service agent. While this received a standing ovation from Republicans, Democrats sat on their hands and refused to applaud. This, above all, has received the most criticism, even from the left. When Democrat John Fetterman says this was a bad move, you’d better believe it.
The families of Laken Riley and Jocelyn Nungaray attended, murder victims of the sub-human savages let in illegally during the Biden Administration.
Payton McNabb, who was left crippled in a wheelchair after being injured by a tranny during a college volleyball game, was there. (Pres. Trump has signed executive orders banning men from playing in women’s sports as well as defining the genders as male and female.)
Trump listed the billions of dollars wasted on Democrats insane programs of waste, now being halted by Elon Musk’s DOGE.
The speech received a 70% approval rating according to CNN.

Hackman Update (9-1-1 call)
Since actor Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa were found dead on Feb. 26th, there have been a number of new developments.
The above 9-1-1 call:
Ron the caretaker calls 9-1-1 from “Santa Fe Summit”.
Ron: “I think we just found two or one deceased person inside a house.”
9-1-1 operator: “Are they awake?”
Ron: “I have no idea.”
9-1-1 operator: “Are they breathing?”
Ron: “I have no idea. I’m not inside the house. It’s closed. It’s locked. I can’t get in, but I see she’s laying down on the floor from the window.”
Ron states that at least one, maybe two people are “deceased” in the house. When asked if they are awake or breathing, why would he say “I have no idea.”
Gene Hackman and his three children (1978.)
Gene Hackman had three adult children by a previous marriage. Reportedly, they were estranged from their father and had little or no contact with him.
It was planned for Betsy Arakawa to handle the funeral arrangements. The children (now rich) will have to deal with it because of the wife’s unforeseen death.
The current theory is that Hackman had a stroke or heart attack and that Arakawa suffered the same fate rushing into the bathroom for medication.
By now, police and the coroner must know the cause of death for their dog. (And whether or not the dog died at the same time or days later.) If Gene Hackman and his wife died from natural causes they would know that also. Only if it’s something else would it take longer.

Trump, Vance, Zelensky Showdown
Feb. 28, 2025, Oval Office, White House.
Pres. Donald Trump, Vice-Pres. J.D. Vance and Ukraine Pres. Zelensky argued contentiously over a minerals deal designed to fund Ukraine’s war with Russia.
WHAT WENT WRONG
Volodymyr Zelensky showed up in jogging suit, disrespected both Trump and Vance, then demanded money for his losing war. Apparently, Zelensky expected a compliant President, as we had for four years with the mentally-comatose Joe Biden. Without Biden and without $350 million of U.S. military funding, there would be no war.
Trump has halted aid to Ukraine, pressuring Zelensky into a peace deal with Russia. Zelensky doesn’t want peace. He is part of the endless wars America has funded to feed the military industrial complex. Wisely, the minerals deal was halted because of Zelensky’s behavior.
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE
Divide Ukraine. 50% for Russia, 50% for the USA. This is what happened to Europe post WWII.
Zelensky, a former failed comedienne needs to go. A quick trip to the gulag.

The Mysterious Deaths of Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa
Santa Fe, New Mexico. On Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2025, the bodies of actor/writer Gene Hackman, 95, and his wife Betsy Arakawa, 64, were found in their 3.3 million dollar estate. Time of death can be ascertained from Hackman’s pacemaker: Feb. 17th, meaning he had been dead for ten days. A pair of sunglasses and a cane were found near his body in the foyer.
Betsy Arakawa accompanies actor Gene Hackman. She was formerly a classical pianist.
Betsy Arakawa was found in the bathroom near a bottle of spilled prescription pills. Police have seized three types of medication: Diltiazem (for high blood pressure), a thyroid supplement and Tylenol. Two cell phones and a yearly planner were also confiscated.
Their secluded home. Hackman & wife helped design their estate which appeared in “Architectural Digest”
Strangely, their dog was also found dead. Conflicting reports state the dog was either in a closet or a crate. Two other dogs survived. All three were German Shepherds.
WHAT HAPPENED? – CLUES
Originally, police reported no foul play and assumed it was caused by a gas leak. Since then, these tests have proven negative.
Possibilities. Mr. Hackman may have died from a heart attack or stroke. His wife may have run in the bathroom for medication, then suddenly suffered the same fate.
The dog who died may have been on his way to the veterinarian or was dying. If this was Hackman’s favorite dog, the stress could have killed Hackman.
MURDER
It’s impossible to rule out murder. How or why is unknown. It is unfortunate that celebrities attract some insane fans. Death could have been caused by poisoning. It’s almost unheard of for two people to die suddenly without explanation and be left alone for a week and a half.
CAREER
Gene Hackman was one of the most popular actors of the 1970’s. He received two Academy Awards for “The French Connection” (1971) and “Unforgiven” (1992.) There were three other Oscar nominations for “Bonnie & Clyde” (1967), “I Never Sang for My Father” (1970) and “Mississippi Burning” (1988.)
BAFTA Awards. The British equivalent of the Oscar won Hackman three awards for “The French Connection”, “The Poseidon Adventure” and “Unforgiven”.
The Golden Globes (Hollywood Foreign Press) awarded him for “The French Connection”, “Unforgiven” and “The Royal Tenenbaums” and he was given the Cecil B. DeMille Award. (Similar to a lifetime achievement award.)
“The Conversation” (1974) also received two nominations for his acting. (BAFTA and the Globes.)
Commercial Hits. Gene Hackman was both a critics and audience favorite: “Superman” (1978) and “Superman II” (1981), “Uncommon Valor” (1983), “Hoosiers” (1986), “The Firm” (1993) “Get Shorty” (1995) and “The Birdcage” (1996.) The list goes on…
It could take weeks, months or these deaths may go unresolved.

Roberta Flack Dead
Singer Roberta Flack, 88, died Feb. 24, 2025, from a heart attack in Manhattan. She had been suffering from ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis otherwise known as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease) since 2022.
Ms. Flack’s career spanned decades from the late 1960’s until her ALS diagnosis.
Her career peak was in the early 70’s with the hit song “The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face”, used in the Clint Eastwood directed/starring film called “Play Misty for Me” (1971.) Flack followed this with “Killing Me Softly”. The two songs would win back to back Grammy’s in 1973 and 1974. (Record of the Year.)

Michelle Trachtenberg Suicide?
N.Y.C., Feb. 26, 2025. Michelle Trachtenberg, 39, former star of “Harriet the Spy” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Gossip Girl” was found dead by her mother in her Manhattan apartment. No official cause of death has been listed and the family has refused an autopsy. Ms. Trachtenberg had undergone a liver transplant earlier last year. Ambulance technicians were given a code that Trachtenberg was “emotionally disturbed”. Recent pictures and Internet posts show a troubled young woman in her last days.
Began as a child star in the 1996 popular film.

Tipping Culture
Formerly, if you as a customer felt like tipping a waiter or waitress, 10% was expected. Now, it’s between 15 and 25%. A small mini-computer calculates your total, more or less, up for demand.
Tipping is for excellent service. Now if someone brings you a cup of coffee, they want $20. Is that fair? Is that right? Most fast-food places don’t tip at all. Sometimes, those people work the hardest.
If you want to tip $100, be my guest. But, don’t ask anyone else to. Some countries don’t have tipping at all. It’s considered an insult.
Here in the USA, it’s a preventive measure, so they don’t spit on your food.
Some folks insist you must tip a lot, to help the workers support their families. That’s Communism. If you want to help others, do it through charity. Don’t force your intentions or beliefs. And don’t give a big tip to those who don’t deserve it.

Wallace ’72
May 15, 1972, Laurel, Maryland. Alabama Governor George Wallace was shot four times by failed assassin Arthur Bremer. Gov. Wallace survived, but was left paralyzed from the waist down. It is unknown as to what would have been the results of the campaign if Wallace had not been forced out of the race by his injuries. While his campaign was cut short, he still managed to come in third place in the Democratic primaries against Sen. George McGovern and former VP Hubert Humphrey.
Cover Photo from Life magazine – Wallace’s wife shields her husband’s body after the shooting.
Gov. Wallace would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair until his death in 1998.
Gov. Wallace would run again in 1976, unsuccessfully. He would serve four terms as Alabama governor.

Arthur Bremer’s diary detailed plans to kill either then current Pres. Richard Nixon or leading Democratic candidate George Wallace. Bremer gave up on the idea of killing Nixon when he saw that his Secret Service protection was extensive. This assassination plot was partially used in the 1976 film “Taxi Driver”.
“Taxi Driver” (1976) partially based on the Bremer diary would inspire John Hinckley, Jr. to shoot Pres. Reagan in 1981.
Bremer served thirty-five years in prison was released in 2007.

USAID – DNC Slush Fund
USAID, (United States Agency for International Development) in operation since November 1961, is in the process of being shutdown by the Trump Administration. Currently, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is the new head of USAID. X’s Elon Musk is the head of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency known as DOGE. The charges: Gross misconduct and misappropriation of funds throughout the decades of supposed assistance by gov’t officials who have wasted billions of dollars on dubious schemes. As of Feb. 6th, most of employees of USAID have been fired.
There are too many examples to list in this short article. Briefly, the Clintons stole Haitian relief money for the Clinton Foundation. LINK
$40 million in U.S. taxes to fund the Wuhan lab’s Covid-19 virus. LINK
An unknown amount of money used to bring illegal aliens (slave labor) into the USA. LINK
$ to Afghanistan – A terrorist nation. LINK
Funding inadvertently or deliberately to terrorist organizations. LINK
While all of this makes Watergate look like an Easter egg hunt, the MSM won’t report it. Why? The mainstream media are on the same gravy train.
Dems reaction: They’re screaming like banshees saying Trump is destroying foreign aid. This isn’t about taking funds away. These audits are about accountability. As I’ve written since the beginning of this website, the Democratic Party is a criminal organization. The Clintons, the Obamas, the Bidens, they’re all guilty, but won’t spend a day in jail.
