All the talk last month was about a movie potentially being cancelled, The Interview. In the end it wasn't cancelled and looks to have been one of the best marketing moves to get the movie massive attention. This month the talk is about a serial mass-murdering hitman called American Sniper.
A much, much more important movie, The Gray State, however, had just been reported, according to our sources, to have inked a deal for $30 million to produce the film after the trailer for the film became very popular on the internet. The movie's tagline was, "When Liberty Dies, Patriot's Rise" and is an amazingly well done and truthful depiction of what I consider is likely to happen during The End Of The Monetary System As We Know It (TEOTMSAWKI) and has been greatly looked forward to by many in the freedom/truth communities.
However, on Saturday, the movie's writer and director, David Crowley, his wife and his five year old daughter were found dead, apparently by gunshot, in their house in Apple Valley, Minnesota.
Initial reports have some strangeness to them including that it is believed they died prior to Christmas and no one noticed for weeks, the family dog surviving the entire time in the house without food or water and apparently windows wide-open without curtains again without anyone noticing, packages piling up with still no friend nor family noticing and an unlocked back door.
It is far too early to make any reasonable guesses on what happened. But initial contact with numerous sources who were good friends with David Crowley are mostly leaning towards this being a hit due to, what they say, him having been happy and working on numerous projects and reportedly about to get a Hollywood film contract to complete production of Gray State. And, of course, the film being perhaps the most graphic and unapologetic look at the true evil of government.
On the other hand was at least one friend of his who stated to us, in confidence, that David seemed to be acting strangely on Facebook for the last few months and even may have indicated he was having money problems.
In either case, whether he was killed or committed murder-suicide, it is sad all around and many people are working to find other ways to get his film completed.
If he was killed it would not be any surprise to many of us in the freedom/truth community where these sort of things seems to be regular occurrences.
Last year, Phillip Marshall, a former airplane pilot and author whose works included the 2003 novel “Lakefront Airport,” – “False Flag 911: How Bush, Cheney and the Saudis Created the Post-911 World (08)” and “The Big Bamboozle: 9/11 and the War on Terror,” a 2012 publication in which Marshall theorized it wasn’t al-Qaida but rather U.S. and Saudi government officials who orchestrated 9/11, was found dead along with his two children in their home in California in very similar situation as with Crowley. Reports indicated that all three died of gunshot wounds.
Even just this week, an Argentine prosecutor who accused President Cristina Fernandez of orchestrating a cover-up in the investigation of Iran over the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center, similar to Argentina's 9/11, was found shot dead in his apartment just days after The Clarin daily newspaper reported that Nisman told the newspaper just a few days earlier, "I could end up dead because of this."
Then Aaron Swartz died in November 2013. Aaron was an American computer programmer and entrepreneur, as well as writer and internet hacktivist. He allegedly committed suicide while under federal indictment for data-theft. His family characterized the prosecution as “the product of a criminal-justice system rife with intimidation and prosecutorial overreach.” In January 2011, Swartz was arrested by MIT police on state breaking-and-entering charges after systematically downloading academic journals from JSTOR. He was facing 35 years in prison when he allegedly committed suicide.
Mudraker journalist Michael Hastings, who was about to break a major story about the CIA, lost control of his car when it crashed into a tree and apparently exploded, something his Mercedes engine should not have done, from what I understand. UCSD researchers have published studies on how cars connected to the internet, as Hasting’s car was, could be hacked and controlled remotely. Hastings received awards for his piece “The Runaway General” in Rolling Stone in 2010, and wrote the book The Operators about his time in Afghanistan.
The American conservative Andrew Breitbart died in 2012 at the age of 43 under mysterious circumstances. Well-known for his Breitbart internet news websites, Breitbart died while on a walk in the early morning hours of a March day in Brentwood, in Los Angeles just a day before he said he was going to release "shocking" information about Barack Obama.
Now were these all just accidents, medical emergencies or suicides? We've seen enough to know to be highly, highly skeptical. One possibility is that many of the above were being harrassed by the government to the point where they did take their own lives… but even that is murder in my eyes.
The sad thing is that many of the things portrayed in Gray State are likely to come to pass and many won't even be aware of it now. That's why we must keep up the fight to spread truth and information about all of the government's diabolical criminal and terrorist activities.
And, even better, separate yourself from the state. Expatriate, move your financial assets to less dangerous and oppressive offshore tax-free jurisdictions, get out of the central banking money system and into gold and begin using bitcoin.
We are losing heroes fast out here and so we need to not only replace them but do so exponentially if we are going to avoid the US and much of the world turning into the Gray State.
R.I.P., the Crowley Family.
