Big Sky Wrestling Believes 9/11 Was An Inside Job

“9/11 was definitely very questionable to me from the very start. I remember on the day of as I was watching the news reports thinking “Oh, GOD, now they’re going to use this as a precursor for a slow economy” and sure enough, the economy sucked after that. They also almost immediately “knew” it was Osama bin Laden and said it was his modus operandi. Really? He bombed the U.S.S. Cole, so how are the twin towers part of his “MO”. There is also the fact that Israel and several others deemed allies warned us ahead of time about an attack. Condoleeza Rice also mentined a very discriptive memo detailing a similar scenario. For the administration to claim that the attacks were unfathomable simply does not hold up. There are inconsistencies in the official story. Some folks point to a few red herring issues to try and disregard the overall 9/11 truth community but they have some merit. I don’t place so much emphasis on whether someone believes there were no planes involved, or if it was due to thermite or some other issue. I applaud the fact that someone will exercise their first amendment right and look at such a horrendous occurrence in our history with a critical eye. I do not appreciate the fragmentation within that community and all the mud slinging from one group at the other. I can’t say I am totally convinced by the official story because some of the hijackers turned up alive and Bin Laden was a CIA asset. I can’t claim to know all the details, but what the media said doesn’t add up. Whether this was carried out by terrorists or some rogue government groups or by international bankers that would profit and benefit from a massive police and surveillance state, we do have the TSA making travel difficult today and we do have a police and surveillance state. We do have the DHS on hyper alert. The Reichstag fire is known to be a false flag today and I don’t think in all that time that every single person involved in business and politics just suddenly became honest.” – Frank Falcon (Founder of Big Sky Wrestling)

No matter what you believe about what happened on September 11, 2001, you should understand there were many people within and beyond the United States Government that helped cover-up what really happened that day. The 9/11 Commission Report completely ignored the collapse of World Trade Center building 7. The commission’s report also ignored

Chasing Osama: Serve No Evil

“Chasing Osama” is a portion of the “September 11th, 2001” chapter of my next book, Serve No Evil.

CHASING OSAMA

On March 15th, 2001 Jane’s Defense News reported that the United States planned on invading Afghanistan later that year. Then in June of 2001, our own government told India that an invasion of Afghanistan was planned for October of 2001. (19) The United States invaded Afghanistan on October 7th, 2001, supposedly to hunt down Osama bin Laden “dead or alive” for masterminding the 9/11 attacks.

The Soviet Union occupied Afghanistan from December 1979 until February of 1989 after the Mujahideen rebelled against the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan (DRA) government in the 1970s. The Mujahideen was made up of opposition groups who fought against the soviet-backed DRA and eventually Soviet troops as well. During the occupation, under Operation Cyclone, the CIA indirectly gave millions of dollars each year to the Mujahideen through Pakistan’s ISI. The funding continued on after the Soviets left Afghanistan. Osama bin Laden was in Afghanistan during the occupation, assisting in anti-soviet activity. Osama bin Laden became the leader of al-Qaeda (The Base) – a conglomerate of quasi independent Islamic terrorist cells spread across at least 26 countries – in 1988.

In the Global Research.org article, Al Qaeda: the Database, former French military intelligence agent Pierre-Henry Bunel explained al-Qaeda was originally a database, “In the mid-1980’s, al-Qaeda was a database located in a computer and dedicated to the communications of the Islamic Conference’s secretariat. Al-Qaeda remained the database of the Islamic Conference.” Bunel also wrote about Osama bin Laden’s ties to the United States, “When Osama bin Laden was an American agent in Afghanistan, the al-Qaeda Intranet was a good communication system through coded or covert messages. Al-Qaeda was neither a terrorist group nor Osama bin Laden’s personal property…The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called al-Qaeda. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the ‘devil’ only in order to drive the ‘TV watcher’ to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the U.S. and the lobbyists for the U.S. war on terrorism are only interested in making money.”

The 9/11 Commission stated there was a CIA unit assigned to Osama bin Laden well before the events of 9/11. This unit’s staff would rise from “a dozen staff,” according to Ian Henshall’s 9/11 Revealed: The New Evidence & the 9/11 Commission Report, to “forty or fifty” people by 9/11. So what did the CIA know of bin Laden’s plot to fly airplanes into buildings? Former Director-General of Pakistan’s ISI Hamid Gul once said Osama bin Laden was “fondly nurtured by the CIA” adding that the CIA admired him. Bin Laden was always invited to “garden parties at the embassy.”

Declining Health

Osama bin Laden met with local CIA agents in July of 2001, according to a French newspaper article written by Alexandra Richard and translated by Tiphaine Dickson. Le Fargo ran the story one month after the World Trade Center attacks with the headline, The CIA met Bin Laden while undergoing treatment at an American Hospital last July in Dubai. The author of the October 11th, 2001 article discovered that while receiving medical care in an American hospital in Dubai, part of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Osama bin Laden was visited by local CIA agents. The claim was made by “a partner of the administration of the American Hospital in Dubai” who said bin Laden was there between “July 4th and 14th, 2001. Bin Laden started this journey to Dubai from an airport in Quetta, Pakistan. Once in Dubai, bin Laden was admitted to the American hospital with his personal physician, bodyguards and others. Osama bin Laden “was admitted to the well-respected urology department run by Terry Callaway, gallstone and infertility specialist. Dr. Callaway declined to respond to our questions despite several phone calls.” Alexandra Richard, the writer of the article, points out that back in March of 2000 Asia Week ran a story about the declining health of Osama bin Laden. Suffering from a “kidney infection that is propagating itself to the liver” that “requires specialized treatment” it seems bin Laden’s health has been an issue for quite some time. “According to our sources,” Alexandra Richard explained, “bin Laden’s “travels for health reasons” have taken place before. Between 1996 and 1998, bin Laden made several trips to Dubai on business.”

Two weeks after the attacks of September 11th, 2001 the United States government pressured the Central Bank of the Arab Emirates to “freeze assets and investments of 26 people or organizations” suspected of having on-going contact with bin Laden’s organization. The local CIA agent reportedly bragged about meeting with bin Laden. The day after Osama left the hospital, the well known agent who bragged about the encounter to locals in Dubai was called back to headquarters in the United States. “According to Arab diplomatic sources as well as French intelligence,” Alexandra Richard wrote, “very specific information was transmitted to the CIA” about possible terror attacks inside and outside of the United States. “A DST report dated 7 September enumerates all the intelligence, and specifies that the order to attack was to come from Afghanistan.” An emergency meeting between the French foreign intelligence service, the Directorate-General for External Security (DGSE), and senior United States officials was then held in August of 2001 at the U.S. embassy in Paris. Richard reported the Americans were extremely worried and requested very specific information from the French about Algerian activists, without advising their counterparts about the reasons for their requests.

A January 28th, 2002 CBS news article titled Hospital Worker: I Saw Osama reported Osama bin Laden was at a hospital in Pakistan on September 10th, 2001. “Pakistan intelligence sources tell CBS News that bin Laden was spirited into a military hospital in Rawalpindi for kidney dialysis treatment.”

Tora Bora

“The biggest and most important failure of CENTCOM leadership came at Tora Bora when they turned down my request for a battalion of U.S. Rangers to block bin Laden’s escape.” – Gary Berntsen (Jawbreaker)

Commander of all CIA forces in Eastern Afghanistan Gary Berntsen was sent into the country for one purpose in December of 2001. Berntsen was ordered by Director of Counterintelligence Cofer Black to find and kill al-Qaeda, and to bring him Osama bin Laden’s head in a box. Berntsen and his Jawbreaker team, aided by Afghan forces, found Osama bin Laden in Tora Bora.

Berntsen found bin Laden “hiding among the millions of Pushtuns who live along the mountainous Afghan-Pakistan border.” Osama bin laden was being protected by the Pushtuns, who believed “it’s their tribal duty to protect him from outsiders.” According to Jawbreaker, a large number of the Afghan forces’ “foot soldiers were followers of local religious leader Maulaiw Mohammed Younus Khalis, who had instructed them to allow al-Qaeda to escape” the Tora Bora Mountains as Berntsen’s teams tried to “pin Bin Laden’s forces against the mountains.”

One of those soldiers was Haji Zahir, the son of Afghanistan Vice-President Haji Qadir; who was assassinated in July of 2002. The London Telegraph wrote, “The death of Haji Abdul Qadir, the Afghan vice-president, yesterday was the second assassination of an Afghan minister within four months and a major blow to a government that many see as the last chance for a peaceful Afghanistan.” Qadir’s son, Haji Zahir told Susan B. Glaser of the Washington Post that he “left for Tora Bora with seven hundred soldiers…but I didn’t know what for.” On July 31st, 2002, Commander of the U.S. Central Command Tommy Franks told the Senate Armed Services Committee that “it was the Afghans who wanted to attack in the Tora Bora area. We had Special Forces troopers with those Afghans, to be sure. We had linkage with the Pakistanis, who some would say, although not much reported at the time, had in the vicinity of 100,000 troops on the western Pakistani border along a great many points of exfiltration.”

Berntsen’s three U.S. teams “codenamed Black, Silver, and Red established posts on the ridges [of Tora Bora] and began calling in air strikes.” Constant strikes came from B-52s, B-1 bombers and AC-130 Spectre gunships. Numerous times, Berntsen recommended that U.S. Army rangers “be dropped behind al-Qaeda positions to block their escape to Pakistan.” Berntsen’s recommendations fell on deaf ears. During the “fall” of the Taliban and the hunt for Osama bin Laden, Pushtun warlord Nuruddin became one of the Afghan allies of the United States. According to page 280 of Jawbreaker, “most of [Nuruddin’s] men were from the local Khungani tribe and many of them had been on bin Laden’s payroll in recent months, hired to dig caves.”

One of these men was Haji Nazir, who told reporters he was sent into the mountains to warn al-Qaeda forces about the U.S.-Afghan force that was coming for bin Laden. Nazir also told Anthony Loyd of the London Sunday Times that he told one member of al-Qaeda “he had three days to leave with his men, surrender or get ready to fight.” This was part of his “Pushtun responsibility” to warn the Arab. “Now it is fulfilled and we shall fight” were Nazir’s parting words. Three days would be enough time to give Osama bin Laden and his forces options for what to do next. Spin Gul was a Nuruddin sub-commander who held a grudge against the Americans, but was being paid to fight on the side of the United States. He told the Christian Science Monitor he will never forgive the Americans for an airstrike on a Taliban trench, of which he was a part of. 30 men were in the bunker and only five lived through the bombing.

Another man on the ground in Tora Bora with the Jawbreaker team was Bilal. A former Master Sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps., he was a big part of Berntsen’s plan to wipe out al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. Bilal was a Shiite Muslim born in west Beirut, whose parents immigrated to Detroit when he was seven. While hunting for terrorists in the mountainous caves near Milawa, Afghanistan, Bilal recovered a hand-held radio tuned to an al-Qaeda frequency. In Arabic he heard chatter over the radio stating “kill the Americans” as well as requests for food and water. The al-Qaeda forces could not believe how quickly their position was located. Time was running out for al-Qaeda and for Osama bin Laden, whose voice was heard over the radio.

There is an Iran Press Service report that states al-Qaeda forces wanted to surrender to “United Nations officials” as long as “foreign observers” were present. Gary Berntsen constantly thought about the need for United States soldiers on the ground in Afghanistan, especially to keep al-Qaeda from retreating into Pakistan. Berntsen wrote, “I repeated to anyone who would listen: We need Rangers now! The opportunity to get bin Laden and his men is slipping away!!” Even though CENTCOM Commander Tommy Franks insisted the Afghan allies “wanted to get into Tora Bora,” Berntsen’s reports made it clear that the Afghan allies were not “anxious” to get al-Qaeda or Osama in the Tora Bora mountains.

Berntsen asked some serious questions which should have been answered a long time ago, way before the publication of his book. “Why was the U.S. military looking for excuses not to act decisively? Why would they want to leave something that was so important to an unreliable Afghan army that’d been cobbled together at the last minute?” Just as Berntsen was closing in on Osama bin Laden, he got the call to turn over his reigns and come home. “Now that we finally had bin Laden and his al-Qaeda cadres in the White Mountains,” Berntsen wrote on page 298 of Jawbreaker, “why was headquarters pulling us out? And why was Washington hesitant about committing troops to get bin Laden?”

“It was a twenty-four hour climb through the White Mountains from Tora Bora to Pakistan. Yet, General Dailey and CENTCOM continued to ignore my request for eight hundred U.S. ground troops.” – Gary Berntsen

Berntsen adds that Bilal estimated that half of the thousand al-Qadea fighters with bin Laden in the mountains had been killed during the constant U.S. air raids. With the aid of Rangers, Berntsen was certain he could have prevented any escape from the mountains. The potential threat of escape into Pakistan was always on Berntsen’s mind. He knew that 40 Joint Special Operations Command soldiers and a dozen Special Forces troops “could not cover all the escape routes across hundreds of miles of cave and mountain passes.” To escape the Tora Bora mountains into Pakistan, Berntsen wrote, bin Laden split his forces into two groups. “One group, numbering 135 men, headed east into Pakistan.” Bin Laden escaped with over 200 Saudi and Yeminis al-Qaeda members and supporters through the cold snow of the mountainous terrain, into Parachinar, Pakistan, controlled by the Pushtuns. According to Berntsen’s book, bin Laden “was guided by members of the Pushtun Ghilzai tribe, who were paid handsomely in money and rifles.” (pg. 307-308)

Gary Berntsen told Newsweek, “He was there,” referring to Osama bin Laden. In his book Jawbreaker, Gary Berntsen says there were intelligence operatives tracking bin Laden in Tora Bora. Bin laden was “holed up” in the Tora Bora Mountains. Berntsen and other U.S. commanders had definitive intelligence that bin Laden was there and could have been caught. Mr. Berntsen does not agree with Former CENTCOM commander General Tommy Franks, when the general said, “Bin Laden was never within our grasp” in an op-ed for the New York Times on October 19th, 2004. Berntsen disputed the quote, telling Newsweek that General Franks “was not on the ground out there. I was.” (20) Author Ron Suskind wrote that CIA briefer Henry Crumpton cautioned President Bush that bin Laden was in a position to escape from Tora Bora. (21) The New York Times reported that Buzzy Krongard – retired from the CIA in 2004 – said the United States may be better off with bin Laden at large, acknowledging that bin Laden’s capture “might prove counterproductive.” Krongard was the number three in the chain of command at the CIA in 2004. “Several US officials privately admitted it may be better” to keep bin Laden alive, trapped between the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan “rather than make him a martyr or put him on trial.” (22)

Al-Qaeda Leader Dined At the Pentagon After 9/11

Based on an interview by the FBI that took place after the Fort Hood shooting in November 2009, Fox News reportedly received “exclusive documents” that al-Qaeda leader, Anwar al-Awlaki, “dined at the Pentagon just months after 9/11.” (23) If true, what was Awlaki doing there? According to Fox News, he was brought to the Pentagon as part of a military “outreach” designed to be “a push within the Defense Department to reach out to the Muslim community.”

After a current Defense Department employee heard Awlaki speak, condemning al-Qaeda and the terror attacks, he was vetted by the proper authorities. Awlaki was “invited to and attended a luncheon at the Pentagon in the secretary of the Army’s Office of Government Counsel.” Was he really vetted? Concerning the vetting process, a former high ranking FBI agent said, “They vetted people politically and showed indifference toward security and intelligence advice of others.”

Awlaki was interviewed by the FBI four times within a week of the September 11th terror attacks. He allegedly had ties to at least three of the 9/11 hijackers, Nawaf al-Hazmi, Khalid al-Mihdhar and Hani Hanjour. Yet, he was still allowed to enter the Pentagon just months after the terror attacks that claimed over 3,000 lives, promoted a war in Afghanistan and eventually helped sway public opinion to illegally invade Iraq. Fox News reported, “Former Army Secretary Tommy White, who led the Army in 2001, said he doesn’t have any recollection of the luncheon or any contact with Awlaki.” White added that just because he didn’t know about it, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Army spokesman, Thomas Collins, told Fox News, “The Army has found no evidence that the Army either sponsored or participated in the event described in this report.” Collins did say that he believed the meeting was sponsored by the office of the Secretary of Defense, under Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Fox News then asked a spokeswoman from the Pentagon about the luncheon and was basically told, “We’ll get back to you on that.”

The Fox News report concluded with a former high-ranking FBI agent telling them, “At the time Awlaki went to lunch at the Pentagon, there was tremendous ‘arrogance’ about the vetting process at the Pentagon.” Paul Watson of Infowars.com takes it one step further, “American-born cleric Awlaki’s role as a key figure in almost every recent terror plot targeting the United States and Canada, coupled with his visit to the Pentagon, only confirms our long stated position that Awlaki is a chief terrorist patsy-handler for the CIA – he is the federal government’s premier false flag agent.” (24)

Anwar Awlaki has been linked to the shooting spree in Fort Hood Texas in November 2009, the Christmas day bombing attempt of December 2009, and a failed bombing attempt in Times Square, New York, in May of 2010. (25) “Following the Fort Hood shooting,” wrote Paul Watson, “it was also revealed that shooter Major Nidal Malik Hasan had been in contact with Awlaki before the rampage. Awlaki preached to both Hasan and the 9/11 hijackers at the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, Virginia in 2001.” As for Awlaki being in contact with the Christmas day bomber?

“The Delta Flight 253 incident was staged from start to finish,” Paul Watson reported. “The U.S. State Department allowed Abdul-mutallab to board the plane, aided by a well-dressed Indian man, despite the fact that he was on a terror watch list and had no passport.” In Yemen, Anwar al-Awlaki was charged with “plotting to kill foreigners and being a member of the terrorist group, al-Qaeda. Since he was a Yemini citizen, Yemen kept him in their country and did not hand him over to U.S. authorities. In April of 2010, Barack Obama placed Awlaki on a CIA terrorist kill list. After at least two attempts by U.S. drones, Anwar al-Awlaki was finally killed by a drone attack on September 20th, 2011.

“On [August 26th, 2011] Fox News reported that the State Department is protecting the privacy of terrorists by refusing to release documents about Anwar al-Awlaki, the Muslim cleric who became the first American on the CIA’s kill or capture terrorist list. In response to a Fox News FOIA request for al-Awlaki’s passport records, the State Department replied, “The release of this information to you would be an invasion of personal privacy of another person, without written authorization from that person.” It’s official: The feds have lost their minds, this time at the cost of forgetting the heart of 9/11 and all the sacrifices made to fight militant Islam since. Ten years after 9/11, the federal government has become an acute enabler of terrorism.” – Chuck Norris

Where In the World Is Osama bin Laden?

On June 27th, 2010, despite the fact that CIA Director Leon Panetta told ABC’s This Week, “We are engaged in the most aggressive operations in the history of the CIA in that part of the world,” he also said only 50 to 100 militants were operating in Afghanistan. Panetta expressed his belief that al-Qaeda was relying on “operatives” living in the United States and those who had no criminal background. Panetta also said the CIA has not had good intelligence on Osama bin Laden since the “early 2000s.”

Osama bin Laden is on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted List for multiple U.S. embassy bombings back in 1998. He is the alleged leader of “The Base,” better known as al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda stems from the self-proclaimed freedom fighters, the Mujahedeen. The Mujahedeen was made of loosely-aligned groups of Afghan opposition to the Soviet installed DRA (Democratic Republic of Afghanistan) back in the late 1970s. The CIA not only funded the Mujahedeen, but they trained them as well, giving them rocket-propelled grenades to shoot down Soviet helicopters. The Soviet occupation ended in the late 1980s, just before the full collapse of the Soviet Union about ten years later.

Working for the CIA at the time, Zbignew Brzezinski (a campaign advisor for Barack Obama during the 2008 Presidential Election) understood the global chess game and how to win it. How could the CIA accomplish what the Soviet forces could not do, which was to conquer Afghanistan? How could the United States Government get the American people to go along with the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan? Brzezinski once said, “The public supported America’s engagement in World War II largely because of the shock effect of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.” On September 11th, the public was given a reason to invade Afghanistan; to find Osama bin Laden. Yet, somehow chasing Osama bin Laden became secondary to overthrowing Saddam Hussein in Iraq.

On November 11th, 2011 Ethan A. Huff of Natural News.com wrote about the increase in opium production since the invasion of Afghanistan, “Afghanistan is, by far, the largest grower and exporter of opium in the world today, cultivating a 92 % market share of the global opium trade. But what may shock many is the fact that the US military has been specifically tasked with guarding Afghan poppy fields, from which opium is derived, in order to protect this multibillion dollar industry that enriches Wall Street, the CIA, MI6, and various other groups that profit big time from this illicit drug trade scheme. Prior to the tragic events of September 11th, 2001, Afghanistan was hardly even a world player in growing poppy, which is used to produce both illegal heroin and pharmaceutical-grade morphine. In fact, the Taliban had been actively destroying poppy fields as part of an effort to rid the country of this harmful plant, as was reported by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on February 16th, 2001, in a piece entitled Nation’s opium production virtually wiped out. But after 9/11, the U.S. military-industrial complex quickly invaded Afghanistan and began facilitating the reinstatement of the country’s poppy industry. According to the United Nations Drug Control Program (UNDCP), opium cultivation increased by 657 percent in 2002 after the U.S. military invaded the country under the direction of then-President George W. Bush.”

Geraldo Rivera was on Fox News trying to justify the fact that U.S. soldiers are guarding the poppy fields in Afghanistan, “We are tolerating the cultivation of the opium because we know that if we were to destroy it now, the population would turn against the marines and it would be a real security risk.” Ironic isn’t it? In the United States we put people in jail for using narcotics, but in Afghanistan, our soldiers are guarding them. Afghanistan not only has vast poppy fields, but it also has enough Lithium to be labeled the Saudi Arabia of Lithium. Lithium is used in just about every modern battery today. The New York Times reported that the Pentagon “discovered” nearly $1 trillion worth of mineral reserves in Afghanistan. Bolivia has a lot of Lithium too, so let’s see what happens to them in the next ten or twenty years.

In late 2001, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah was considering cutting its ties to the American empire. The paper reported that Abdullah wrote a letter to George W. Bush in August of 2001, saying that “a time comes when peoples and nations part…it is time for the United States and Saudi Arabia to look at their separate interests. Those governments that don’t feel the pulse of the people and respond to it will suffer the fate of the Shah of Iran.”

The last Shah of Iran was Mohammad-Reza Shah Pahlavi. He was the emperor of Iran from September 16th, 1941 to February 11th, 1979. He was overthrown by the Iranian Revolution, after being labeled a puppet of the U.S. Government. Zbigniew Brzezinski was President Jimmy Carter’s National Security advisor at the time. The Shah was overthrown and sent into exile, until his death at age 60, on July 27th, 1980.

If They Really Wanted Osama bin Laden

On February 26th, 1993, terrorists loaded a Ryder van with explosives and parked it in the basement of the World Trade Center. At 12:17 p.m. the van exploded. Six people were killed in the bombing and an additional 1,042 people were injured. Infowars.com writer Paul Watson explained what happened at the World Trade Center in 1993, “The first World Trade Center bombing was provocateured by the government. In 1993 the FBI planted their informant, Emad A. Salem, within a radical Arab group in New York led by Ramzi Yousef. Salem was ordered to encourage the group to carry out a bombing targeting the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers. Under the illusion that the project was a sting operation, Salem asked the FBI for harmless dummy explosives which he would use to assemble the bomb and then pass on to the group. At this point the FBI cut Salem out of the loop and provided the group with real explosives, leading to the attack on February 26 that killed six and injured over a thousand. The FBI’s failure to prevent the bombing was reported on by the New York Times in October 1993.” (26)

If the United States really wanted to capture Osama bin Laden for allegedly orchestrating the 1993 World Trade Center bombing they had the perfect opportunity in March of 1996. Back then, the Sudan Government offered to hand over bin Laden to the United States. Sudan did not want Osama in their country at that time. Webster Griffin Tarpley described bin Laden as “an embarrassment to the rulers of that country, General Bashir and Hassan Turabi.”

In his book, 9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA, Webster Griffin Tarpley explained that when Sudan made Secretary of State Madeline Albright the offer to deliver Osama bin Laden to the United States, “instead of gratefully accepting the extradition of the man who was already one of the world’s top terrorists,” Secretary Albright “chose this moment to provoke a new wave of tensions with Sudan, even contriving – no doubt as a clever diversion – to shut down the U.S. Embassy in Khartoum because of alleged terrorist threats.” The deal was available to the United States “until May 1996” when bin Laden left Sudan under growing pressure and entered Afghanistan.

“The Sudanese offer was documented by Barton Gellman in the Washington Post soon after 9/11,” wrote Tarpley. He paraphrased what Gellman wrote in the article, that through a back-channel from the Sudanese President to the CIA, Sudan offered to “arrest Osama bin Laden and place him in Saudi custody, according to officials and former officials in all three countries.” In defense of the Clinton administration, Gellman added, “[The] Clinton administration struggled to find a way to accept the offer in secret contacts that stretched from a meeting at a Rosslyn hotel on March 3, 1996, to a fax that closed the door on the effort ten weeks later. Unable to persuade the Saudis to accept bin Laden, and lacking a case to indict him in U.S. courts at the time, the Clinton administration finally gave up on the capture.” (27)

OSAMA BIN LADEN IS DEAD

“Today…the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.” – President Barack Obama (May 1st, 2011)

The official story goes something like this…a small helicopter-borne strike team entered the compound where Osama bin Laden was hiding, and completed their mission within 40 minutes. When they located bin Laden, he resisted capture and was shot in the face. After being positively identified by both the strike force and family members, bin Laden’s dead body was transported with the strike team out of Pakistan. Islamic tradition requires that the body be buried within 24 hours of death. So in order to respect the custom, the decision was made to bury the body at sea. Is that really in accordance with Islamic tradition?

On May 2nd, former Pakistan General Hamid Gul asked Alex Jones, “Why don’t they show the body” and “have a descent Islamic burial? Why hasn’t this been done?” According to the Los Angeles Times on May 3rd, bin Laden was given an opportunity to surrender before troops opened fire on him “at least one time,” shooting him “in the head.” As evidence, “a photo of his face was transmitted to analysts, who confirmed the identification.” (28)

On May 4th, we were told the government had photographs of a dead Osama bin Laden. However, White House Press Secretary James Carney told the public they can’t see the photographs that depict parts of bin Laden’s skull blown away and a gunshot wound around his left eye. President Obama felt the images were too gruesome. President Obama told 60 Minutes’ Steve Kroft he was certain Osama bin Laden was dead, “We’ve done DNA sampling and testing and so there is no doubt we killed Osama bin Laden.” Allegedly the DNA of Osama bin Laden was taken during the 40 minute raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan and compared against DNA samples from bin Laden’s mother and three sons. (29)

We were lied to about what happened on September 11th, about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and the connection between al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein. The government lacked sufficient evidence of their claims each time. Yet many Americans still believe that Osama bin Laden was killed by SEAL team 6 on May 1st, 2011. The day after bin Laden was killed, Chief Counterterrorism adviser John Brennan was at the first press conference to answer questions about the operation that allegedly led to the death of Osama bin Laden. The first question asked was about “the specific goal of the raid.”

Did the U.S. Government target bin Laden for death, or would they try and take him alive if they could? “Absolutely,” Brennan said during the press conference on May 2nd. “It was to prepare for all contingencies. If we had the opportunity to take bin Laden alive, if he didn’t present any threat, the individuals involved were able and prepared to do that. We had discussed that extensively at a number of meetings in the White House and with the President. The concern was that bin Laden would oppose any type of capture operation. Indeed he did. It was a firefight. He, therefore, was killed in that firefight, and that’s when the remains were removed. But we certainly were planning for the possibility [of taking bin Laden alive], which we thought was going to be remote, given that he would likely resist arrest, but that we would be able to capture him.”

President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates were all in the White House Situation Room as the raid on the Abbottabad, Pakistan, compound began. What was it like in the situation room? Brennan explained, “When the operation did get underway, then the President rejoined the group and we were able to monitor in a real-time basis the progress of the operation from its commencement to its time on target, to the extraction of the remains, and to the egress off of the target. It was probably one of the most anxiety-filled periods of time, I think, in the lives of the people who were assembled here yesterday. Minutes passed like days and the President was very concerned about the security of our personnel…it was clearly very tense. There was a fair degree of silence as it progressed, as we would get the updates, and when we finally were informed that those individuals who were able to go in that compound and found an individual that they believed was bin Laden there was a tremendous sigh of relief that what we believed and who we believed was in that compound actually was in that compound and was found, and the President was relieved once we had our people and those remains off target.” Brennan refused to go into details about what they were able to see in real-time.

CIA Director Leon Panetta told PBS, “Once those teams went into the compound, I can tell you that there was a time period of almost 20 or 25 minutes that we really didn’t know just exactly what was going on.” The CIA-led operation to “capture or kill” Osama bin Laden was hailed as a huge mile-stone in the war on terror. Director Panetta watched the raid live from the 7th floor of CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. On Sunday, May 1st, 2011 Panetta gave the order “to capture or kill” the al-Qaeda leader inside the Abbottabad compound. Panetta then adds that “Under the rules of engagement,” Panetta added, “if he had in fact thrown up his hands, surrendered and didn’t appear to be representing any kind of threat, then they were to capture him. But they had full authority to kill him.”

According to The Los Angeles Times, an unnamed U.S. official claimed Osama bin Laden was shooting back at the strike force that entered his hide-out in Pakistan. Bin Laden “was shot while shooting back, the official reported.” This same official added that the purpose of the mission was not to execute bin Laden. “If [bin Laden] decided to lay down his arms, he would have been taken captive.” (30)

On May 3rd, White House spokesperson James Carney admitted that Osama bin Laden “was not armed” when Navy Seals stormed his compound, two days before. James Carney added that bin Laden was shot and killed when his wife rushed the Seal team. CIA Director Leon Panetta later told PBS NewsHour he did not think bin Laden was armed, but he was shot because of “threatening moves” made towards the SEALs. “That’s the reason they fired.” Yet according to the Middle East news channel, Al-Arabiya, someone in Pakistani security claimed bin Laden’s 12 year old daughter said U.S. forces captured, and then killed her father in front of family members. (31)

United States Senator Saxby Chambliss hoped the Navy Seals entered the compound to kill, not capture, Osama bin Laden. According to Political Insider with Jim Galloway, Chambliss told Galloway that as bin Laden poked his head out of a room on the third floor, Seals shot and missed, as the alleged 9/11 mastermind went back into the room. Chambliss had no problem telling Galloway what the real purpose of the mission was, “We needed to take this guy out and I know that’s what the executive order said.” (32) Chambliss also claimed to have seen the dead photograph of Osama. He said it looks like “what you would expect from somebody who’s been shot in the head.” Of course that was Wednesday morning.

By Wednesday evening his story changed as well. Eventually Chambliss admitted the photo he saw was not official. It was shown to him on an electronic device. He had no idea where the photograph came from. A freshman Republican on the Armed Services Committee Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) also saw the photograph of a dead bin Laden with a facial wound. She is in favor of releasing the photographs to the public. Like Chambliss, she was shown the photo on an electronic device and doesn’t know if it’s authentic. Senator Scott Brown (R-MA) told reporters he didn’t know if the photo he saw was real or not. Later he would clarify that the photograph he saw “and that a lot of other people saw is not authentic.” (33)

Asked if Osama bin Laden was living in the house under the protection of the ISI, former director of its Osama bin Laden unit, Michael Scheuer told Wall Street Journal.com “it’s a given.” Scheuer was certain at least part of Pakistan’s ISI was involved harboring Osama bin Laden in some way. (34) Just two days earlier, Obama told the nation, “It’s important to note that our counterterrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding.” So here we have reports that some within the Pakistani ISI or military were helping harbor Osama bin Laden. While at the same time, Pakistani forces were participating in the raid to capture Osama.

John Brennan also said, “The last time that we had actionable, and [what] we thought was very credible, information about where” Osama bin Laden “was located, was in Tora Bora.” Yet we all know how that incident turned out. In the mountains of Tora Bora, Osama bin Laden was cornered by U.S. forces. There is evidence that suggests bin Laden was allowed to flee the mountain region, and that U.S. forces were ordered to not pursue him.

On May 3rd, Infowars.com reported, “During an interview with Imtiaz Tyab of Aljazeera, a man who lives in the Abbottabad neighborhood where Osama was supposedly killed said he never saw him. “If somebody new comes on your street,” the man said, “you always know.” He said he never saw the six foot four Saudi and does not believe he lived there.” (35)

“At the end of the day, this was still a 55/45 situation. I mean, we could not say definitively that bin Laden was there. Had he not been there, then there would have been significant consequences.” – Barack Obama (60 Minutes interview) (36)

Bin Laden’s Been Dead

“I found out through my sources that he had had kidney disease, and as a physician I knew that he had to have two dialysis machines and he was dying.” – Steve Pieczenick (37)

In December of 2001, Fox News reported – based on an article by the Pakistan Observer – a Taliban leader was at the funeral of Osama bin Laden in mid-December of that year. Their Taliban source cited lung complications as to the reason bin Laden died and was buried “in the vicinity of the Tora Bora mountains” in December of 2001. “About 30 close associates of bin Laden in Al Qaeda, including his most trusted and personal bodyguards, his family members and some “Taliban friends,” attended the funeral rites.” (38) An article by Kurt Nimmo and Alex Jones of Infowars.com reads, “In 2003, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright told Fox News Channel analyst Morton Kondracke she suspected Bush knew the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden and was waiting for the most politically expedient moment to announce his capture.” (39)

On November 1st, 2001, Le Fargo, a French newspaper, reported that two months before September 11th, 2001, Osama bin Laden flew to Dubai, one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates, for treatment at an American hospital. The American hospital and the Bush White House denied the claim. While reportedly being treated in the Urology Department, bin Laden was visited by family members, Saudi notables, and two CIA agents. The 10 day stay adds speculation to bin Laden’s kidney complications. If bin Laden was being treated for kidney dialysis back in 2001, skeptics point out it is highly unlikely that bin Laden would still be alive in 2011. (40)

On May 2nd, 2011, The Corbett Report ran a story titled, “Osama Bin Laden Pronounced Dead…For the Ninth Time.” The pronouncements came from various political figures throughout the years. Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said in January 2002 he thought bin Laden was dead. Dale Watson was the FBI Counter-terrorism chief, before retiring in 2002. While speaking at a conference in July of 2002, he asked law enforcement officials in the audience if bin Laden was dead. Watson’s view was, “I personally think he is probably not with us anymore but I have no evidence to support that.” (41) Likewise, the President of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai was interviewed in October of 2002 by CNN, where he told them he thought bin Laden was “probably dead.” (42) In 2005, Senator Harry Reid was told that bin Laden might have died during a 2005 October earthquake in Pakistan. (43) A year later, French intelligence leaked a report which suggested bin Laden had died in Pakistan. (44) In 2007, Benazir Bhutto, former Pakistani Prime Minister, told David Frost of Al-Jazeera that Omar Sheikh had killed Osama bin Laden. (45) Then in 2009, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari didn’t think Osama was alive and claimed he hadn’t heard chatter about bin Laden through his sources in U.S. intelligence agencies in over seven years. (46)

Abbottabad, Pakistan is a northwestern city known to heavily include Pakistani ex-military soldiers and training facilities for the Pakistan military academy. One man who has lived in the area all his life did not believe Osama was in the compound. “We are a closed net community. At least we would have seen him once.” “We are not fools,” another resident told CCTV News about the alleged death of bin Laden. “Whenever they want to take control of an area, they act this way. Osama was never here.” Some early questionable reports suggest that bin Laden and his wife had not left the compound in five years. It’s believed the compound is only about 6 years old. 130 kilometers from the federal capitol, near a military academy, contractor Jahangir was “shocked” when he heard on the news that Osama bin Laden was captured in his home town. Jahangir said new residents would have to show an ID card before they’re allowed to move into the area. “Osama is not the bird who can fly inside” the compound, Jahangir told the reporter in Abbottabad.

Around 1 a.m. Pakistan time, Jahangir saw an Apache helicopter over the compound. Jahangir lives a few minutes away from the compound. He went to the roof of his house and in pitch black he heard shooting for about two minutes. Then, at about 1:15 a.m., “We hear an explosion, like, big noise…Then I hear the people was crying there, or somewhere. Then we run there, because my cousin is living there, right? It’s a five minute walk if I run from my house to there.” Jahangir owed the house next to bin Laden’s compound. When Jahangir and his “brother and a few other people” ran to the scene, the Pakistan Army arrived and took over the compound. Jahangir remained on the scene until 4 a.m. “The next house is my other house, which I rent to my cousin’s friend, and every day in the evening we went there by walk, with my wife, for the, just, walk. I [have] never seen anything like that. I can’t believe that, and to be honest, it’s not true.”

President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari said Pakistan didn’t know bin Laden was there. The Pakistani Anti- terrorist Squad could not confirm Osama bin Laden’s death. (47)

Heightened Security After bin Laden Dies

“The terrorist threat to the homeland is in many ways at its most heightened state since 9/11.” – Janet Napolitano (2011)

Once Osama bin Laden was pronounced dead to the world the U.S. Department of State issued a world-wide caution alert to all United States citizens. Due to the alleged death of Osama bin Laden, “U.S. government facilities worldwide remain at a heightened state of alert.” America was already on a heightened state of alert before announcing bin Laden’s death. After his death, we are told the threat of terrorism has increased, not decreased. We allegedly captured the #1 terrorist in the world and were then told we were in more danger after doing so. It reminds of Marvel Comics’ Hydra organization, whose motto was “If a head is cut off, two more will take its place.”

On July 26th, 2011 the State Department issued a global warning that U.S. citizens should “maintain a high level of vigilance and to take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness.” With September 11th right around the corner, the message was meant to reinforce the fictitious danger we face from al-Qaeda and “affiliated groups.” In short, the message to the world from our government is to be afraid, be very afraid. “The Department of State believes there is an enhanced potential for anti-American violence given the death of Osama bin Laden in May 2011. Current information suggests that Al-Qeada and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks against U.S. interests in multiple regions, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East…Extremists may elect to use conventional or non-conventional weapons, and target both official and private interests.”

The terrorist’s potential targets range from “residential areas” such as your own home or your church, “high-profile sporting events,” places of business, restaurants, hotels, clubs, and “other tourist destinations both in the United States and abroad where U.S. citizens gather in large numbers, including during holidays.” So what do they base this new “enhanced potential for anti-American violence” on? Like the death of Osama bin Laden, we were “reminded” to trust the government and take them at their word. I would assume that this “current” and “credible” information came about from the Abbottabad, Pakistan raid, where Osama bin Laden allegedly died in a firefight with U.S. forces.

“Current information suggests that al-Qaeda and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks against U.S. and Western interests in Europe…Credible information indicates terrorist groups also seek to continue attacks against U.S. interests in the Middle East and North Africa.” We were warned not to participate in demonstrations abroad. I wonder how long it will take for this threat “abroad” to become a threat inside the United States. In some cases, and rapidly expanding, it is becoming more and more difficult to peacefully demonstrate inside the United States. One only needs to research “free-speech zones” to understand how demonstrations in general are frowned upon and seen as a threat to the establishment. We the People are a threat to those who are trying to control the world. “U.S. citizens are warned that demonstrations intended to be peaceful can escalate into violent clashes. U.S. citizens are reminded that demonstrations and riots can occur with little or no warning. U.S. citizens are urged to avoid areas of demonstrations if possible and to exercise caution if within the vicinity of a demonstration.”

To put it into proper context, the State Department is referring to threats abroad, for now. “The events of the last few months in many countries in the Middle East, including Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, and Syria, have resulted in civil unrest and large-scale protests and demonstrations.”

A Gray Shame – David Crowley’s Last Days

“Even though you may be killed resisting, the act of resistance on a metaphysical level has value.” – David CrowleyArticle CoverIn a YouTube interview by Sean Wright, David Crowley commented on Danny August Mason’s impartial approach of searching for the truth, “Like Danny said, that was the best thing he did, was taking that impartial approach to saying ‘Go do the research yourself,’ which is exactly what I did. And of course, once you go down that road you can’t come back.” David Crowley met Danny August Mason in 2010 and eventually the two created the story of Gray State. David Crowley then wrote the first version of the feature-length film. After his best friend’s death, Mitch Heil wrote a lengthy post on social media, hoping to “clear up some questions” people had about the double murder-suicide. In his post, Heil wrote about the 2012 Gray State trailer, calling it the “largest and most intense small production” he’s ever been a part of. “It was basically the three of us doing all the planning. David and Danny doing the writing, scripting, story boarding, ect. I did more of the logistics and technical stuff.” Mitch Heil “officially split ways from Gray State in mid/late 2013 or so,” but he still remained involved with David Crowley’s other businesses, Hot Head Productions and Bullet Exchange. “This wildly different view on life is what eventually broke off my relationship with the Gray State project,” wrote Heil.gray-state-cheat-sheetDavid Crowley completed a revised script of Gray State on June 2nd, 2013 and gave it to a select group of people to review and give feedback on. Also in 2013, a rough cut of the documentary film Gray State: The Rise was given out to several people, including one of the hosts of The Rundown Live, Mike Paczesny. Two days after the bodies of David, Komel, and Rani Crowley were found, Mike Paczesny was asking some serious questions on his show, “How is this possible that David, with all these contacts and friends, who I messaged a month ago on Facebook by the way, to try to get a hold of him, you know, how does this happen? How does a guy go unnoticed for a month? How does his wife go unnoticed for a month? How does the daughter go unnoticed for a month? You know, where are their families? Where are their friends? What happened here?” On January 20th, 2015, Mike posted the rough cut of Gray State: The Rise onto his YouTube channel, stating, “The public deserves to see the movie and that’s what’s happening with the documentary.” Later that day, Mike removed the video, “Out of respect for family & contributors, I will be removing the film.”

On October 23rd, 2013, David Crowley posted on Twitter that the rough cut of Gray State: The Rise was finished and ready for review, “Exporting the rough cut now. So stoked!” On December 9th, 2013, Crowley added, “6 months working on Gray State: The Rise. It’s finally taking its final form, but holy moses, what a shitty shit ton of work.” David, Komel and Rani Crowley moved into their new home in Apple Valley, Minnesota on December 13th, 2013. Days later, David posted on Facebook that he had lost a “crucial hard drive” during the move to 1051 Ramsdell Drive. On December 18th, 2013, David posted, “The only real loss after moving to a new house last weekend was a crucial hard drive for The Rise. I guess the next few weeks will be spent salvaging everything that was lost.” The following day he wrote, “File recovery sucks, but it’s better than not having files to recover. This could take a few weeks.” By December 27th, 2013, the documentary film was getting back on track, “Finally getting back on track with The Rise. She’s been teaching me patience by making me work for the 660 missing clips that remain, and crashing at least six times a day.”

The fictional movie, Gray State, was going through some revisions of it’s own on January 15th, 2014. “Some seclusion writing this weekend,” David Crowley wrote on Facebook. “For those of you who read the GS script – it’s about to get gutted for the necessity of a clear, concise, entertaining, and effective film. For all the chewy details that are going to get cut – well, there’s always the novel.” Five days later, on January 20th, 2014, the story had completely changed, “After two years of trying to extract the Gray State story, I think I finally may have done it. The story has completely changed, is working beautifully, and the new outline was completed in only the last three days. With this new story, it will not be hard to attract funding.” The following day, David Crowley explained he had rediscovered Gray State’s ending, “It’s a strange experience finally feeling genuine love for characters I’ve created. The most painful part of writing the conflict for these people who are precious to me – is that I must now torture them, punish them, and drag them through the dirt to reveal their essence of form. Yesterday morning I rediscovered Gray State’s ending, and the final feeling captured was of such gentle sadness, I’ve been stuck in it ever since.”

On January 22nd, 2014, David was still getting settled in to his new home, “Spending today building two big fucking new desks to create a mancave megadesk, then relocating ALL of The Bullet Exchange inventory to my basement.” On February 2nd, 2014, David explained the plot of the fictional film, Gray State, “Gray State: a wounded veteran leads the insurgency against a corrupt government after his city is put under martial law.”

“The use of force,” David Crowley posted on March 7th, 2014, “no matter the context, should be a shameful last resort, indicating an utter defeat of intelligent faculty. This is the difference between men and children, and also why our childlike society celebrates violence in its exercise of authority.” On March 8th, 2014, David Crowley wrote that “Sean Stone (yeah that one, @csstone5) apparently wants a role in Gray State.” Two days later David Crowley was “happily unsubscribing from liberty and conspiracy feeds on fb and twitter. Too much of the backbiting derision they claim to oppose. See ya, guys, it’s been fun. You’ll still like Gray State though.” The following day on March 11th, 2014, David Crowley asked the question, “You know what liberty feels like? Unsubscribing from hundreds of LIBERTY OR DEATH FUCK THE NWO pages and twitter accounts.”

The movie script was steadily progressing on March 19th, 2014, “Today, in place of thousands of post-it notes,” David Crowley wrote on Facebook, “pages of scribbles, and 30 feet of plot-points, I have a 118-page script/outline hybrid that may be only days away from a solid draft 1. The original Gray State story took 8 months of solid work. This story took less than 2, and is better in every way.” On March 22nd, 2014, Komel was reading the first draft of the new script for Gray State.

Aside from the Gray State movie, David Crowley also had plans for six more films. On May 15th, 2014, David “spent a very welcome morning laying the groundwork for another 6 films I’ve been having ideas for. It’s nice to finally be free from Gray State, boy howdy.” On May 22nd, 2014, David Crowley’s dream had finally come true, “It just happened. I’m not sure how many details I can divulge at this point, but Gray State will be optioned in the next two weeks at a major budget and connected with a-list talent. We are connected with a producer who above all else wants to preserve the film’s pro-liberty ideals. This is all we could have hoped for and more. Thank you all for being our strongest selling point. Let’s make a movie.”

On June 30th, 2014, posting as the Gray State page on Facebook, David Crowley gave an update on the Gray State movie, “The past month I’ve been meeting with some LA-based producers, crew, and other industry contacts, and together we are building the team that will combine our passions and talents and belief in Gray State to optimize its message and reach of its exposure. This has been a truly exhilarating experience! My attorney and I are reviewing the option contract this week, and once that sucker is signed this whole Gray State thing is going to finally, irretrievably, and monstrously take off for the stratosphere – and in such a way that the message will be preserved – and perhaps even continue in sequels, TV series, and video games. Seriously. Talk about taking over the main stream. This has been my life’s work for nearly 4 years, and it is extremely gratifying to be backed by such a raging horde of super-fans. Thanks for your patience guys. See you at the premiere.”

On September 30th, 2014, David Crowley spent some time on Facebook answering questions from his supporters, “It seems like there are a lot of questions and expectations about this project. For the next 20 minutes or so I will answer your questions directly!” Several times David Crowley wrote about releasing Gray State: The Rise for free online. There are two very important posts from David Crowley that were either deleted or have been hidden from public view; one post was made on December 9th, 2014, and the other was dated September 30th, 2014. The missing post from September included a question by a supporter, as well as an answer by David Crowley (posting as Gray State). In this post, David Crowley mentioned his plans for “rebuilding a trustworthy team.” Asked what his biggest hold up was with the fictional movie, Crowley responded, “I’m doing this myself. I say “we” and “team” a lot, but when it comes to nuts and bolts work, writing, and leveraging the project into securing Hollywood money, it’s just me. I hope to change this by reinvigorating the process and rebuilding a trustworthy team.” We still do not know who removed or hid this post from the Gray State Facebook page, or why. Hopefully the post will reappear one day.

Responding to a question about when Gray State: The Rise was going to be released, David Crowley responded, “The Rise suffered a catastrophic hard drive loss earlier this year. I am working to get it back together (hopefully for a FREE online release, you guys deserve a little something). I really have to be careful though, because a mishandled doc release could absolutely SINK production on the film or series. I am treading carefully, making sure that everything works out to the best.” September 30th, 2014, was an important day, as David Crowley had big plans for 2015, “Today’s posts represent the first visible beginnings of the Gray State resurrection. I can’t get into too much too soon, but with the right amount of hard work, strategy, and miracle juice, the beginning of 2015 should see some amazing progress.” Crowley also wrote about a “new revamped website coming soon” and many of his last known conversations involved plans for the future of his projects.

Over and over again on September 30th, 2014, David posts about his vision for the Gray State franchise, “A series, which could be produced and released way faster than a film, has the potential to subvert the system. How can it not? Sorry guys but Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones, while entertaining, lack a real-world purpose. Gray State will not fail you. How could it?” Creating the Gray State franchise was David Crowley’s full-time job, and he was doing everything he could to ensure the success of the franchise, “It’ll either be a great success story, a spectacular, highly visible failure, but either way, I guess we all put in our best shot, right? I guess that could be said about where the country is headed too.”

The questions kept coming, and David Crowley answered as many questions as possible within those dedicated twenty minutes. Crowley was attempting to reach out directly to his supporters and doubters in order to address the criticism the project received for its multiple delays in production. Starting a Kickstarter campaign for future production costs is more evidence that David Crowley was actively planning for the future, “We want to run a Kickstarter (due to popular demand), but if we do, it’ll be for a very specific purpose, like hiring a behind the scenes crew to document production, run live broadcasts, and give constant updates to the fans. I never wanted the fans to fund this. That’s like making your kids pay for their own Christmas presents.”

David Crowley was still trying to get “big budget” funding for Gray State in September of 2014. I believe this shows David was not defeated by his earlier failures in Hollywood, as some have claimed. His words seemed like those of a rejuvenated artist who had a story to tell, and who wasn’t going to stop until his concept for Gray State became a reality, “Hopefully the strength of this project as a whole, and what it represents with the people, will help me get a big budget without sacrificing my intent. But hey, if I can’t, then I will take it back to low-budget indie, like the 2012 trailer.” During a 2012 interview with David Crowley and Danny Mason, host Alex Jones told the Gray State creators they didn’t need Hollywood’s help to make their film a success.

So even if Hollywood wasn’t interested in his project, Crowley knew it was possible to make the film without their help, with only a small budget. “New developments have enhanced the projects honesty and dedication to its origins. This is going to be brutal.” Crowley also reminded people to “stay tuned for updates. We will keep the entire production process as wide open as possible.” In response to the comment that it’s been three years since Gray State was first developed, Crowley responded, “No, it’s been a lot longer! And there are years to go.” In a separate comment, Crowley confirmed his long-term plans, “The film is ready to go, but it might take forever, and then still fail at any point in production. A series might be immediately tangible, and instead of interfering with the film…set it up for success a year or two down the road. Big picture stuff.”

David Crowley’s most challenging thing about the project was “trailblazing the timeline. It’s been either a very small team or just me alone working on this thing for years, trying to make it work. I do not just want this movie done so the fans can see it online. I want millions to get blind-sided by it in theaters.” David’s future plans for the movie were clear, “We’re talking to producers about it. If we can’t tease a producer into splitting $15-30 million (which is still our goal), then we will take it back and do it independently. The point is we want Hollywood money but not Hollywood politics.”

One month later, on October 27th, 2014, David Crowley contacted David Kirk West on Facebook, “I like your operation, ethics, friends, and location. When I put together the Gray State web-series and shoot nation-wide, would you want to produce for the northwest?” On a consistent basis, David Crowley was planning for the future of his franchise, and moving forward to see his life’s work become a reality. David Crowley severed ties with David Kirk West on social media sometime between November and December of 2014. West believes David Crowley also “unfriended” many people on social media “for seemingly no reason.”

By November 18th, 2014, there was no doubt as to whether or not Gray State: The Rise would be released for free, “Gray State: The Rise will be made available online for free as soon as possible. This is our non-fiction contribution to fight for liberty. Gather your strength.” David Crowley was working “every day” to complete Gray State: The Rise and on November 26th, 2014, he told a potential donor to “use that money on something for your girl instead. The Rise is going to be free.” Crowley was “rushing The Rise to a free online release. It’ll be worth your wait.”

The December 9th, 2014, post by David Crowley has since been removed. We do not know who has access to David Crowley’s Facebook account, or why the post and its comments were removed or hidden from David’s personal Facebook wall. Here is what David Crowley wrote, “Can you believe it? The Rise is almost done. I’m serious. She’s coming out to be quite the looker; can’t wait to show you all, but I have to comb her hair for a few more weeks. Anyway, I’m quite serious about giving this film away. I have come to abhor the AJ model of peddling DVDs as truth and cashing in on suckers. I have given this film years of my time and I am delighted for the opportunity to “burn it down” by giving it away, and I hope you all share the feeling. You’ve all given this project a lot of attention and I thank you. Soon it will be time to go live, and we’ll get to watch it all unfold.” Why would someone remove or hide this post from David Crowley’s Facebook account? Various screen-shots are all that remain of this post and several comments made the same day.

The first comment came from David, “You guys are friggin’ sweet, I hope the film makes you all proud. I would try to do a private screening or something exclusive, but hearing the news every day I don’t think we have the time.” Two people post comments in response. The first writes, “It’s taken a lot out of you I’m sure. The iron is hot, waiting for you to strike.” The second person to leave a comment is Sean, who writes, “You need to call me. I’m all good with getting out free intact. I brought that up initially. But if it’s released before my court you may send me to prison instead of beating my case. For real though David Crowley call me.” Sean also put his phone number in the comment. David responded, “I don’t have any of your tax talk in there Sean my man, don’t sweat it. This movie is meant to send other people to prison.”

Sean was worried that the release of Gray State: The Rise could possibly send him to prison. I believe this is the same Sean who contacted me after David’s death, encouraging me to stop asking questions and just accept that David Crowley was guilty of a double murder-suicide. Sean’s “tax stuff” is in the leaked version of Gray State: The Rise (rough cut). In a conversation with investigative researcher Dan Hennen, Sean told him, “The reason David said he took the tax stuff out of [Gray State: The Rise] is I’m currently in court for tax issues and that’s a big reason the rough cut was never to be public.”

During a December 17th, 2014, email exchange with Los Angeles-based producer Jason Allen, obtained by the Pioneer Press, David Crowley relayed his plans for releasing the documentary film in a few weeks, “When you see The Rise, and the new trailers for the Gray State series, you’ll know what I mean when I say I have followed my heart at every step.” I have no idea how much money is going to come together when this kicks off here in a few weeks, but it might be enough to get started on a series, then independent features running a common storyline.” David Crowley met with Jason Allen in Los Angeles some time in September of 2014 and was “very much excited about releasing this documentary,” according to what Allen said in a Pioneer Press news article.

The email exchange also revealed the rising interest in the Gray State projects, “Gray State fans are growing at a rate of 100-200 per day even now,” wrote Crowley, “and when I get started I can only expect they’ll keep coming.” David asked Jason Allen to be an executive producer for Gray State, but before Allen could respond to the request, the deceased Crowley was already being accused of a double murder-suicide. Allen found it hard to believe that David Crowley would murder his wife and child before taking his own life, “David had this consistency and this very steady way about him. In many ways it felt very contradictory to the actions of a murder-suicide. I truly saw an optimism to it.” Komel Crowley was helping her husband “build a database of professionals, actors and other industry contacts interested in the project,” according to Nick Ferraro’s Pioneer Press article.

In the first hour of December 25th, 2014, Gray State: The Rise posted a link to “The Patriots Guild” Faceboook page with the following comment, “An excellent group/page run by some real patriots that are close friends of ours. Make sure to give them a like. They have a lot of great things on the horizon!” This is possibly David’s last post before he died, if it was David Crowley who was posting as Gray State: The Rise at that time. In the comment section, when asked when the move is coming out, Gray State: The Rise responds, “Make sure to follow this page, “Gray State” for updates on filming.” In a separate comment Gray State: The Rise wrote, “And it’s not an easy feat when trying to maintain the stories integrity without selling out, and having such a small team.”

According to Pat Pheifer of the Star Tribune, on December 26th or 27th, 2014, Dan Crowley went to his older brother’s house to drop off Christmas presents. Mason Hendricks, a friend of David Crowley, said Dan Crowley saw Paleo, the family dog, pop his head up through the large front window. Dan dropped off the Christmas presents by the front door and tried contacting his brother several times afterwards, but David never responded to his phone calls or text messages. Dan and David’s father, Daniel Crowley, also tried to contact David and Komel but was unsuccessful. Daniel Crowley also told local news media he “hadn’t heard from his son and daughter-in-law over the holidays.”

Colin and Judy Prochnow lived next door to the Crowley family and had recently returned from an out-of-town visit when they noticed packages piling up near the front door of the Crowley home. A few days before the bodies were found neighbors noticed the lights inside the Crowley house were on all day and all night. The curtains were wide-open, which was unusual according to neighbors. Mr. Prochnow said he had shoveled the snow in the Crowley’s driveway a few times, a common courtesy in Minnesota, because he hadn’t seen the Crowley family since before Christmas. He assumed the family was out of town. Mr. Prochnow told local news media he heard a noise that sounded like a gunshot some time in December, but the actual date of the noise is unclear. On January 17th, 2015, Colin Prochnow rang the doorbell of the Crowley home and instantly heard the dog barking aggressively, but no one answered the door. So he peered through the front window.

At first, Mr. Prochnow was not fully certain that what he saw through the Crowley’s front window were three deceased bodies. Initially, he told the Star Tribune, the bodies looked like dummies or mannequins, “To me, they just didn’t look human.” Mr. Prochnow then returned to his home and told his wife what he saw. “He came home and said there were dummies [mannequins] on the floor,” Judy Prochnow said in the article. The Prochnows returned to the Crowley house and upon a second look into the front window, police were called to the scene.

When Apple Valley police officers arrived at 12:56 pm, an officer looked through the front window and told police dispatch, “There’s several obviously deceased bodies in the front.” According to police dispatch audio released by Minnesota Police Clips, one officer was at the back of the house and told dispatch, “Rear slider is unlocked, slightly ajar.” Another officer said, “We’re gonna make entry as soon as [inaudible] can get here and get this dog.” Based on the dispatch audio, the officer responsible for removing the dog from the house is told to go to the back of the house when he arrives. On January 18th, CapitolBay.com reported that police were calling the deaths “suspicious” but their article still revolved around the “apparent murder-suicide” theory given to them by police.

Apple Valley Police Captain John Bermel was certain to tell the media there were no signs of forced entry or foul-play. “If there was a scuffle, you’d expect to find maybe something broken, maybe something knocked over. There was nothing like that,” Captain John Bermel told Nick Ferraro of the Pioneer Press. Captain Bermel apparently did not address the rear slider being unlocked and slightly ajar at that time. Perhaps in the future he will. When asked about conspiracy theories surrounding the deaths, Bermel said, “We deal in facts.” If that is true, then Captain Bermel should have no problem telling the public why his office told the media David Crowley was guilty within a day of finding the bodies at 1051 Ramsdell Drive. So far, because the investigation is still on-going, police have not released any “facts” to suggest David Crowley is guilty of a double murder-suicide. Captain Bermel told KAAL, “We will establish a timeline and try to piece together what happened in that house.” Once the investigation is complete, I truly hope his timeline will be available to the public.

Paleo, the family dog, was found alive but had torn up part of a sectional couch in the living room. An alleged friend of David Crowley, someone posting as Mason Norsk Hest, told independent investigator Dan Hennen, “Paleo destroyed David’s body…David did try to kill the dog…body parts were all over the house. The dog left Rani’s body alone.” The dog was taken to a local animal shelter, Mason Norsk Hest later posted, “All will be revealed soon. The dog is ok. I saw him yesterday. David’s brother will be taking him. I, along with some friends, will be going to his house on Thursday after the living room is cleaned up and to try to make sense of the note that was left.”

Mason Hendricks told the Star Tribune about the note that David left behind, “It’s very short. It’s very puzzling. Honestly it doesn’t [explain what happened]. It doesn’t put much into perspective. It’s two sentences. That’s all it is.” Mason Norsk Hest also told Dan Hennen, “You, nor anyone, will ever know what the note said. It was his handwriting…David left a password list for the authorities…David left a note on his computer that said, “To my family, I loved you with all my heart.” He took the password protection off of his computer. David’s finger prints were on the computer.” According to what Mason Hendricks posted on his MNH Foto website, Mason Norsk Hest is his nickname. On his website Mason Hendricks explains, “Mason Norsk Hest is a nickname that was given to me some years ago and it is the name I have come to go by.” Still, I cannot verify if the person posting as Mason Norsk Hest on Facebook is the same Mason Hendricks mentioned in various news articles about David Crowley’s death.

On January 18th, 2015, the host of Silence Is Compliance, Anthony Antonello, started off the show with a phone conversation with Mike Paczesny. Mike Paczesny would later post Gray State: The Rise onto his YouTube channel for the entire world to see. “It’s really sad that it came to this,” Mike told the host, “if this is really true, and I believe it is. You know? That’s really sad.” Anthony Antonello had his own suspicions, “I don’t want to jump right out there and yell, ‘conspiracy, conspiracy,’ but you gotta ask questions, man…things like this just stink, man.” Keep in mind that Anthony is just learning about what happened at the Crowley house as the show begins. As he is speaking with Mike, he and his research partner are scouring the internet looking for articles, information and videos of David Crowley and anything related to the alleged double murder-suicide.

Anthony has a hard time believing the official narrative and by the end of the show the host doesn’t seem to believe the official story, “I’m not buying it. Not buying it whatsoever…I don’t know what happened. Am I suspicious? Of course I’m suspicious.” Mike Paczesny added, “We’re gonna get demonized for this. Everybody that was a part of the Gray State project, which is a lot of alternative media, a lot of the listeners, a lot of the people that know who we are, we were behind this. I got a banner on my website right now. What? Am I supposed to take it down?…Yes! You do. That’s what you do now. I don’t know. What the hell? I’m just being honest.”

Also on January 18th, 2015, musical artist Jordan Page expressed his thoughts about the death of his friend, “David Crowley, the screenwriter and director of an upcoming film about the NWO takeover Gray State is dead. All I can say is he was my friend, he was a visionary, a patriot, and a good man. I will miss him, and this movement has lost a crucial member who was poised to wake up millions. God bless him and his wife and their little girl.” More notable is the comment Jordan Page wrote later that day, “The film was about to start production with a $30 million budget from a major Hollywood studio.” Local actor Charles Hubbell had been trying to reach Crowley for over a month. Hubbell told KAAL (ABC 6 News), “I was absolutely crushed. This is not the David that I know. This is nowhere near the David I know. He was proud of his service. He was proud of his expertise.”

On January 19th, 2015, the creators of the Justice for David Crowley of Gray State Facebook page and the Justice for David Crowley & Family Facebook group were both contacted by various people requesting administration rights. On the March 3rd, 2015 edition of Wake Up To The Truth with Mike Serour and Eric Wilkinson, Dan Hennen explained why he started the Justice for David Crowley & Family Facebook group and addressed the many requests for administration rights to his group.

“When I first heard about the story,” Dan Hennen told the hosts, “my first search on Facebook was to search for a justice page or something to do with the family to get up-to-speed with the story. When I found that there wasn’t any, I decided to create one and start throwing in some of the articles, some links to the various articles, to have a spot as a forum for people to come and get information and gather information. I was just setting it up by myself, just as the owner of the page, and then after I did another search…I saw that there was another one up done by Thomas Lapp…his is actually a page and mine is a group. So they’re different in that aspect. So he set his up, and it wasn’t until the 19th of January that we started getting the requests for rights to the page; and I didn’t get any at first at all. But when corresponding with Thomas Lapp, we started to get the admin rights [requests] coming in from various people, and they all seemed to be from the Gray State team; which is fine. We thought it was odd because they’re going through the grief…the last thing they’d be doing is searching on the web and wanting to type and write things, but they wanted administrator rights to moderate. So that was the first thing. When it got a little goofy is when Thomas Lapp shot me an instant message saying, ‘I’m getting a lot of requests for administration rights and full access rights. Just be on the lookout if that comes your way,’ and just to be prepared. He didn’t tell me how to handle it, or what to do, he just says, ‘Just FYI.’ He gave the 411 that this might be coming…I said, well that certainly seems odd, but then he said [the requests] went from being admins to wanting full rights. Then once he did grant one person admin rights, a bunch of threads were soon deleted. So that didn’t go over. Being an admin is one thing…but Thomas wasn’t too happy when he found out that a hand-full of threads were deleted…so he had a bunch of requests that came in to be the administrator…Mike Paczesny, at the same time, while this was all going on, uploaded that YouTube video of [Gray State: The Rise] the rough cut, which really threw things into disarray because the Gray State was trying to put out that fire at the same time. They were trying to pull that down and deal with Paczesny, who evidently went rogue and just decided to publish it. But at the same time we were…trying to work with the Gray State team to get together a conference call for the next day…Brendon Jay spent a lengthy phone call – he’s from the Gray State team – Brendan Jay has been very good dealing with Thomas Lapp…they were putting together a conference call and invited me to get on too and wanted to get the three of us, the two pages and the Gray State team, to get together and put our heads together and see what would be the best way to either put together a video or a YouTube, or something to get it out there at the nation-wide level to really expose this case…I think it was when Joe Haggman got involved. He suggested even doing it for the show for that very night, if you bump it back an hour, ‘Instead of doing a conference call, you guys can just call in live on the Haggman and Haggman internet radio show and we can get this out there to a much broader audience.’ So we had agreed to do that for a 10 pm eastern-time show and everything was good. At that time, I believe the Gray State guys were putting out the fire of the rough-cut documentary. Then at 8:49 pm I get a contact from Thomas Lapp that says the show’s been cancelled; and he mentions that things have “gotten weird.” So he said the show’s cancelled. I’m not sure what’s going on now…it was at that point that Sean Wright – from the Gray State team – now was demanding full admin rights, and threatened he’ll terminate the page if he wasn’t granted those rights, and he’ll get it shut down, he’ll delete the entire thing. So, it went from asking for rights to help moderate a page to terminating, to deleting the page…then I got hit…with the requests for administration rights to my page, and I said no that’s fine, I’ll just keep it going here myself. I might need a moderator or two to help bring people in but I don’t want to give up the admin rights; certainly after what’s happened here the other day to the previous page. So, it really got nasty at that point. That was on January 20th, the evening…it was after declining the admin rights to be able to give to the Gray State guys when it all went downhill. It was surprising for Thomas and I because it was less than 24 hours [ago that] everything was going well. Information was getting out there. Brendan Jay said from the beginning, he’s like, I don’t buy it. I don’t buy this official story one ‘iota’…but then a hand-full of guys from Gray State say, no, this isn’t the case. They wanted to steer, they didn’t want conspiracy theories out there surrounding David Crowley.”

One of the people who wanted to become an admin for the Justice for David Crowley of Gray State Facebook page was Danny Mason. On January 20th, Danny Mason wrote to Thomas Lapp (who was posting as the Justice for David Crowley of Gray State Facebook page), “Could the admin or admins please contact me?” Mason asked. Thomas Lapp responded, “Hey Dan, the admins are myself (Thomas Lapp), Sean Wright and Brendan Jay. What can I do for you? By the way I also sent you a friend request. I can give you access to this page as well if you like.” Within minutes Danny Mason responded, “Yes please add me as admin since I’m trying to make sure David’s name and our projects are being protected. I’m just saying this since I haven’t met you in person, and lots of people coming out of the woods if you know what I mean.”

On January 21st, 2015, someone named Sam Wagner asked Dan Hennen if he could become an administrator for the Justice for David Crowley & Family group, “Hey can you add me as an admin for the Justice for Crowley? I was part of the admin team that did the social media for Gray State and we really need to stay on top of the trolling/keeping this group proactive, ect. Come on Dan.” Dan Hennen wrote back, “Hang in there Sam. In a case like this the first week is gonna be hard. Let me know when that news conference takes place today. I’m at work.” Wagner then asked Dan, “Why aren’t you letting others be admins? Because you created the group? Mods are not the same as admins, you must know that.” To all the people who asked for administrative rights to the Justice for David Crowley & Family Facebook group, it’s never going to happen so go start your own group and quit trying to control that one. Shame on you.

Also on January 21st, 2015, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s office labeled Komel and Rani’s deaths as homicides and David’s death as a suicide. All three died from a single gunshot wound to the head. On January 22nd, 2015, David Kirk West wrote an article on why he didn’t think David Crowley was assassinated by the government, “I think that what happened is that “Gray State” was falling apart, Crowley was struggling financially, and between that and who knows what other factors he just snapped. I strongly suspect we will find out in the coming weeks that “Gray State” suffered a big setback, likely toward the end of October. I hope that everyone who is following this case and speculating on it will refrain from jumping to the conclusion that David Crowley and his family were assassinated and at least consider any evidence that comes out indicating a murder/suicide.” While David Kirk West clearly speculated that David Crowley might have “snapped,” he also asked everyone to refrain from jumping to the conclusion that the Crowley family was assassinated by the government. Of course we will consider any evidence that helps prove a double murder-suicide, and I hope Mr. West will consider the possibility that David Crowley is innocent based on the lack of evidence given by police.

Mitch Heil seemingly blamed Gray State for David’s death, “Conspiracy theorists are saying he was murdered by the government. He was murdered alright. He was murdered by the Gray State. He was no longer David. He was not the David we all knew and loved. He was Gray State and the Gray State killed David. It killed Komel, and it killed Raniya.”

Additionally on January 21st, 2015, Doug Hagmann, of the Hagmann & Hagmann Report, wrote about his conversation with David Crowley back in 2012. Hagmann explained that David Crowley “ominously confided that he had no intentions of committing suicide or otherwise becoming a statistic as he had so much to live for. “I’m not prone to suicide,” he told me.” Doug Hagmann also wrote, “What I don’t understand is the public’s acquiescence or resignation to the official narrative without question, especially considering the people whom we’ve lost to questionable, if not outright strange circumstances. There is something very wrong here. The death of David Crowley, his wife and daughter is more than a tragedy. It seems to fit a disturbing pattern. We need the complete truth about what happened, and not accept anything less. Although his death and the murder of his five year-old daughter and 28 year-old wife could have been by his hand, I’m not buying it. Others aren’t either.”

I have no idea why, but on January 23rd, 2015, Sean Wright contacted me, asking that I stop asking questions about the David Crowley case, “You think I would just be silent if I thought there was more to the story, if my best friends were murdered? Please think of the source of the info. Do you trust me?” After asking who “the source” was, Sean responded, “Me dude! Crowleys were my best friends. You think I would not start the revolution if they were murdered or assassinated?”

I asked when we will see the evidence. “I know the evidence,” he told me, “and will share when I can. The people I trust have been told what I can share. I know more than anyone. I’m mother fuckin’ Sean Wright. You think I didn’t trench everything before I accepted what happened. No one else would want this to be foul-play more than me. Just trust me. Save your credibility.” Even more bizarre were Sean’s statements about David and Komel dying on their own terms, “Truth is David, Komel and Rani are dead. They died on their own terms…They did everything how they wanted to insure no one would stop them and so no friends or fam would find the bodies.” I asked if he was trying to tell me this was a double suicide-murder, but he never elaborated on that statement.

Sean wasn’t the only one associated with the Gray State projects who claimed it was possible the deaths were a joint decision made by David and Komel Crowley. His irresponsible comments seem similar to the reported speculation Mason Hendricks told the Star Tribune, “Mason Hendricks, a close friend, said Crowley and his wife were amazingly close and in-tune and speculated that even their deaths had to have been a mutual decision.” Separately, Nick Ferraro quoted Mason Hendricks as saying, “I honestly believe — and this is all speculative — that this may have been a joint decision. He and Komel had a great relationship. They were like that couple that finishes each other’s sentences.”

On February 12th, 2015, someone posting as Mason Norsk Hest in the Justice for David Crowley & Family Facebook group wrote that the double murder-suicide was “terrible but poetic.” “I can tell you all this. David did it for certain. The father is meeting with the police this week and my friends Sean and Danny and Adam will be getting more info. David did this. That is 100% certain. It was not the illuminati or a government cover-up. It drives myself and his closest friends nuts to hear people speculate like this. No details need to be shared. There was no force, they all went together, it’s terrible but poetic. The whole thing is terrible and his brother Dan and I and our amazing friend Danny will be meeting with Komel’s sister soon to help her go through all of her sister’s stuff.”

Even though Mason Norsk Hest first stated, “I can tell you all this, David did it for certain,” it seems odd that he would also write, “There was no force, they all went together, it’s terrible but poetic” Even more confusing to me was one of the comments Mason Norsk Hest posted claiming, “It can still be joint if David used the gun.” Why would he state the murders could be a joint decision between David and Komel to end their lives and take their child with them even though David did the actual killings? It did not make sense to me, especially since the Hennepin Medical Examiner’s office listed Komel’s death as a homicide, not a suicide. A USA Today article mentioned Colin Prochnow using the word “they” when possibly referring to double murder-suicides in general, “You have something that happens like that next door and you don’t really know when it happened, and the little girl, why did they have to take the little girl with them when they do things like that?”

A few days after he contacted me on Facebook, Sean Wright called me, still trying to convince me to “free myself” from this case. Apparently, he didn’t have David Crowley’s phone number but he had mine, and I hadn’t talked to Sean in over a year or two. Even though I’ve never stated I believe David Crowley and his family were murdered by the government, Sean still felt it necessary to remind me that this wasn’t a government hit. He also told me “the property of Gray State was ours. It’s copyrighted. That’s why the videos keep getting pulled down, because we keep reporting it’s a copyright…you guys keep goin’ this route DHS and FBI’s gonna be on you. You don’t need that.” Again, I’m asked to “back off from it all.” Sean also told me he was probably one of the last people to see the Crowley family alive.

All I asked for was evidence that David was guilty, but Sean could not provide any. He did tell me, “I’m just givin’ you a call out of respect to see if you could just free yourself in this situation before it gets worse.” Asking questions will not make the situation worse and that’s all I will continue to do until I find the facts that prove David Crowley killed his wife, his daughter, and himself. If police have enough evidence to tell family, friends and local media David Crowley was guilty, how long will it be until authorities tell the general public the details of their theory? I still do not understand why Sean would try and discourage me from asking simple questions about the alleged double murder-suicide. It makes no sense to me.

There is also no reason for authorities to keep their findings from the public once their investigation has ended. I’m not concerned about being under a microscope. The gray shame has been exposed from my point of view. Any one trying to intimidate me or trying to steer myself and others away from this case should be ashamed of themselves. It’s a shame that some people want me and other researchers to steer clear of any notion of foul-play involved in this case. I will consider the possibility that David Crowley is guilty and I also will consider the possibility that he is not. I will continue to let the facts guide me towards the truth. It is now the responsibility of the Apple Valley Police Department to solve this case, based on facts.

Infowars.com reporter Joe Biggs was interviewed by Weaponized News.com on January 24th, 2015, “Right now it’s one of those things that’s up in the air,” Biggs said during the interview. “I’m looking into it as well, among many other things. When something like this happens, the first thing I do is I try to look on people’s Facebook pages…so I try to find the friends of the people, I add them, and then I look to see if there have been any posts. When you do research like that, you’ll see, over the past few days, all I’ve seen are people going like, ‘Oh my God, I’ve known this guy forever. He’s not someone who could have ever done this. This is mind blowing’…you also think about, they started this film like three years ago. They did some kind of crowd-fund thing or whatever. They raised $60,000 and ever since the trailer came out, there’s been nothing done. So for two years, production’s completely pretty much stopped from what I’ve heard and there’s been nothing done with it. So, did they stop making the movie and just start living off that money that was raised and then they ran out of money and he lost his mind? Or what else is there? There’s so many things that could have happened. Like I said, it’s so early into it. There was a leak of the documentary…and that was going to be used to raise more money to finish the actual feature film, Gray State.”

The next day on the Alex Jones Show, a caller named Rick asked Alex about the case, “I wanted you to let everybody know about David Crowley’s’ execution, the creator of the Gray State.” Alex Jones responded to the caller, “Well we did cover that last week and it looks like another assassination of somebody in the media. Just like the prosecutor in Argentina who said they’re trying to kill me, I’m about to give a speech in two hours proving that the President carried out staged bombings, and he was, now they admit, murdered.” Rick steers the conversation back towards David Crowley, “He was executed. He was shot in the head, all three of them; him and his wife and his daughter.” “I know,” said Alex Jones, “and so was the prosecutor, and the President said it was a conspiracy theory, but now they admit he was murdered, the prosecutor. A lot of people are getting killed right now…they’re just murdering people.”

In an interview released on January 27th, 2015, Ben Swann asked Gray State co-creator Danny Mason if David Crowley ever displayed symptoms or signs of PTSD over the years. Danny Mason responded, “Nothing that would, I guess, constructually fit the bill for diagnosis of PTSD. Not in the form with David, and that could have been masked with his creativity on it. Hindsight’s always 20/20 and especially in a moment like this. And I think to label that right away that [PTSD] was the sole cause of it, I don’t, personally I know that he mentioned that he did suffer from some forms of PTSD and I think that all of us, in some shape or form, could actually I guess in some form of diagnosis, have that…but nothing to the extent that…it’s black and white, he flipped out and kinda lost his mind. That diagnosis to explain the tragic events just doesn’t fit with it…there wasn’t really any kind of red flags that kind of went off that we should be really concerned about.” Separately, Mitch Heil “never saw signs of PTSD. He was not a crazed gun nut.”

Did Danny Mason and David Crowley ever have the “I won’t kill myself” conversation? “We’ve had that conversation early on, on it,” Danny Mason told Ben Swann, “and this is when, but then there was a period when David started putting distance between his friends and his family, on it…I know that he was going through a personal transition and I don’t know if he was battling a lot of the bigger…questions on spiritualism and his placement within society, and also as a film maker. So I don’t know that part, but the discussions that we had before, I know that he wouldn’t be suicidal ‘cause David was one of the strongest guys I’ve ever met before in my life; not only intellectually, but just physically, all around.”

“Truth is the truth and it will never die. You can’t destroy truth, ok. No matter what you do.” – Danny Mason

Three months after the bodies were found, we are still waiting for any evidence that proves David Crowley is guilty as accused. The Apple Valley Police Department will not release any evidence or discuss the case with me as long as the investigation is still on-going. Sgt. Jim Gummert promised he would respond to my list of questions once the investigation is complete.

One of the saddest turn of events throughout this case is the silence of many within the alternative media. I would like to personally thank Disaster Survival Magazine, 21st Century Wire, and the hosts of Wake Up To The Truth, Mike Serour and Eric Wilkinson for their continual interest and investigations into this case, and specifically for asking the questions that will help us all get to the truth. I would also like to thank everyone above ground and everyone underground who are following this case with an open-mind. We will find the facts.

The gray shame continues with each attempt to convince people that David Crowley is guilty without providing evidence. That is the true gray shame here. People can label me a conspiracy theorist because I choose to ask questions about this case instead of trusting the official theory is accurate without proof. Such accusations will always remind me of what David Crowley said back in 2012, “It’s no longer the conspirator or the conspiracy theorists who have to prove themselves because everything is so out in the open now.”

David Crowley – Unanswered Questions

Did David Crowley murder his wife and daughter before killing himself? Apple Valley Police Captain John Bermel believes so and is working to establish a timeline of events that led up to the alleged double murder-suicide. Within a day of finding the bodies inside the Crowley home, police were telling local media outlets they were investigating the case as a double murder-suicide. We will continue to reach out to the Apple Valley police officers involved in this case, in hopes of understanding what led them to rule this as a double murder-suicide so early into the investigation.

No Signs of A Joint Decision To End Their Lives

Despite what one person close to David Crowley speculated about David and Komel “dying on their own terms” and how “they did everything how they wanted to insure no one would stop them and so no friends or fam would find the bodies,” police have not revealed any evidence to suggest Komel Crowley died on her own terms. This irresponsible comment made by Sean Wright seems similar to the reported speculation Mason Hendricks made to the media. Star Tribune reported, “Mason Hendricks, a close friend, said Crowley and his wife amazingly close and in-tune and speculated that even their deaths had to have been a mutual decision.” A TwinCities.com article by Nick Ferraro has the direct quote from Mason Hendricks, “I honestly believe — and this is all speculative — that this may have been a joint decision. He and Komel had a great relationship. They were like that couple that finishes each other’s sentences.”

A USA Today article mentions Colin Prochnow using the word “they” when possibly referring to double murder-suicides in general, “You have something that happens like that next door and you don’t really know when it happened, and the little girl, why did they have to take the little girl with them when they do things like that?”

More recently, someone posting as Mason Norsk Hest in the Justice For David Crowley & Family Facebook group wrote that the double murder-suicide was “terrible but poetic” before removing the post.

Even though Mason Norsk Hest first states, “I can tell you all this, David did it for certain,” adding he’s 100% certain, he also wrote, “They all went together, it’s terrible but poetic.”

Even more confusing to me is one of the comments Mason Norsk Hest posted when asked if he thinks it was a joint decision between David and Komel to kill themselves and their child, “It can still be joint if David used the gun.”

The Hennepin Medical Examiner’s office stated in a press release that Komel Crowley’s death is listed as a homicide.

Admin Access to Justice For David Crowley & Family Facebook Group

On Wake Up To The Truth with Mike Serour and Eric Wilkinson on March 3rd, 2015, Dan Hennen explained why he started the Justice For David Crowley & Family Facebook group, as well as the requests for admin access to his group. “When I first heard about the story,” Dan Hennen began, “my first search on Facebook was to search for a justice page or something to do with the family to get up-to-speed with the story. When I found that there wasn’t any, I decided to create one and start throwing in some of the articles, some links to the various articles, to have a spot as a forum for people to come and get information and gather information. I was just setting it up by myself, just as the owner of the page, and then after I did another search, after when I was done, I saw that there was another one up done by Thomas Lapp…his is actually a page and mine is a group. So they’re different in that aspect. So he set his up, and it wasn’t until the 19th [of January] that we started getting the requests for rights to the page; and I didn’t get any at first at all. But when corresponding with Thomas Lapp is when we started to get the admin rights [request] coming in from various people, and they all seemed to be from the Gray State team; which is fine. We thought it was odd because they’re going through the grief…the last thing they’d be doing is searching on the web and wanting to type and write things but they wanted administrator rights to moderate. So that was the first thing. When it got a little goofy is when Thomas Lapp shot me an instant message by saying ‘I’m getting a lot of requests for administration rights and full access rights. Just be on the lookout if that comes your way,’ and just to be prepared. He didn’t tell me how to handle it, or what to do, he just says, ‘Just FYI.’ Gave the 411 that this might be coming on the path. I said well that certainly seems odd but, and then he said it went from being admins to full rights and then once he did grant one person admin rights, a bunch of threads were soon deleted. So that didn’t go over. Being an admin is one thing…but Thomas wasn’t too happy then when he found out that a hand-full of threads were deleted…so he had a bunch of requests that came in to be the administrator…Mike Paczesny, at the same time, while this was all going on, uploaded that YouTube video of [Gray State: The Rise] the rough cut, which really threw things into disarray because the Gray State was trying to put out that fire at the same time. They were trying to pull that down and deal with Paczesny, who evidently went rogue and just decided to publish it. But at the same time we were…trying to work with the Gray State team to get together a conference call for the next day to get it to go public. Brendon Jay spent a lengthy phone call – he’s from the Gray State team – Brendan Jay has been very good dealing with Thomas Lapp…they were putting together a conference call and invited me to get on too and wanted to get the three of us, the two pages and the Gray State team to get together and put our heads together and see what would be the best way to either put together a video or a YouTube or something to get it out there at the nation-wide level to really expose this case…I think it was when Joe Hagmann got involved, he suggested even doing it for the show for that very night, if you bump it back an hour. Instead of doing a conference call, you guys can just call in live on the Hagmann and Hagmann internet radio show and we can get this out there to a much broader audience. So we had agreed to do that for a 10 p.m. eastern-time show and everything was good. At that time, I believe the Gray State guys were putting out the fire of the rough-cut documentary. Then at 8:49 p.m. I get a contact from Thomas Lapp that says the show’s been canceled; and he mentions that things have “gotten weird.” So he said the show’s canceled. I’m not sure what’s going on now…it was at that point that Sean Wright – from the Gray State team – now was demanding full admin rights, and said, and threatened he’ll terminate the page if he wasn’t granted those rights, and he’ll get it shut down, he’ll delete the entire thing. So, it went from asking for rights to help moderate a page to terminating, to deleting the page…then I got hit…with the requests for administration rights to my page, and I said no that’s fine, I’ll just keep it going here myself. I might need a moderator or two to help bring people in but I don’t want to give up the admin rights. Certainly, after what’s happened here the other day to the previous page. So, it really got nasty at that point. That was on January 20th, the evening…the bodies were found on the 17th, and the Gray State announced the deaths on the 18th. This is two days later, which I keep putting myself in that situation, if a close friend or a business worker, or a co-worker of mine [died], would I be on the internet two days later looking for admin rights? I don’t even think I would be on the internet…it was after that declining the admin rights to be able to give to the Gray State guys is when it all went downhill. It was surprising for Thomas and I because it was less than 24 hours…everything was going well. Information was getting out there. Brendan Jay said from the beginning, he’s like, I don’t buy it. I don’t buy this official story one iota…but then a hand-full of guys from Gray State say no, this isn’t the case. They wanted to steer, they didn’t want conspiracy theories out there surrounding David Crowley…”

Is Infowars.com Investigating This Privately?

Infowars.com reporter Joe Biggs was interviewed by Weaponized News.com on January 24, 2015 and stated, “Right now it’s one of those things that’s up in the air. I’m looking into it as well, among many other things. When something like this happens, the first thing I do is I try to look on people’s Facebook pages…so I try to find the friends of the people, I add them, and then I look to see if there have been any posts. When you do research like that, you’ll see, over the past few days, all I’ve seen are people going like, ‘Oh my God, I’ve known this guy forever. He’s not someone who could have ever done this. This is mind blowing’…you also think about, they started this film like three years ago. They did some kind of crowd fund thing or whatever. They raised sixty-thousand dollars and ever since the trailer came out, there’s been nothing done. So for two years, production’s completely pretty much stopped from what I’ve heard and there’s been nothing done with it. So did they stop making the movie and just start living off that money that was raised? And then they ran out of money and he lost his mind? Or what else is there? There’s so many things that could have happened. Like I said, it’s so early into it. There was a leak of the documentary…and that was going to be used to raise more money to finish the actual feature film, Gray State.”

On January 25, 2015, A caller mentioned David Crowley’s death on the Alex Jones show:

Rick: (in Wisconsin, January 25th, 2015. At 1:04:00) “I wanted you to let everybody know about David Crowleys’ execution, the creator of the Gray State.”

Alex Jones: “Well we did cover that last week and it looks like another assassination of somebody in the media. Just like the prosecutor in Argentina who said they’re trying to kill me, I’m about to give a speech in two hours proving that the President carried out staged bombings, and he was, now they admit, murdered.”

Rick: “He was executed. He was shot in the head, all three of them. Him and his wife and his daughter.”

Alex Jones: “I know, and so was the prosecutor. And the President said it was a conspiracy theory, but now they admit he was murdered, the prosecutor. A lot of people are getting killed right now…they’re just murdering people.”

Until the Apple Valley Police Department are able to prove their theory, that David Crowley killed his wife and 5 year old daughter before killing himself, questions will continue to be asked by the public.

The video below includes highlights from the timeline of events (draft 2) created by Dan Hennen; including information provided by (the presumed) Sidrah Alam, Komel Crowley’s sister. Also included is the post made by Mason Norsk Hest in the Justice For David Crowley & Family facebook group, who calls the deaths terrible but poetic and speculates on a mutual decision made by David and Komel to end their lives and take their child with them.

SHADES OF GRAY: Tragic Deaths of ‘Gray State’ Filmmaker David Crowley & Family Still a Mystery

SPECIAL REPORT

A few short weeks ago, a bizarre tragedy took place in Minnesota that rocked the alternative media community. As friends and loved ones struggle to come to grips with the death of a talented artist and his family, local law enforcement are also attempting to piece together the story in the hope of discovering what may have led to the event.

To date, there are still questions surrounding the shocking deaths of US Army veteran and filmmaker, David Crowley, his wife Komel and their 5 year-old daughter.

In this special 21WIRE report, we’ll take a closer look and lay out some of the existing evidence surrounding this tragic case…

The Case Notes

Independent filmmaker, screenwriter and entrepeneur, David Crowley, his wife Komel and their 5 year-old daughter Raniya, were found dead in the couple’s home in Apple Valley, Minnesota, after an apparent ‘murder-suicide’, said to have taken place sometime before Saturday January 17th.

A number of unanswered questions still remain however.

The Crowley’s next-door neighbor, Collin Prochnow, is said to have discovered three bodies lying next to a handgun on January 17th, shortly after 12:30pm, while looking into the Crowley’s front house window. Prochnow approached the house after seeing the same lights on day and night, stating that he also noticed,”Christmas presents sitting unopened on the doorstep,” for several weeks after the holidays.

Prochnow also told the Minneapolis Star Tribune, he had not seen the family since before Christmas, inferring that the bodies could have also been at the scene since around Christmas Day, due to the packages not being taken inside the Crowley’s home. Prochnow also added that he, “assumed they had gone somewhere for Christmas.” It wasn’t until after looking through the front window of the Crowley’s Ramsdell Drive rambler that Prochnow made the grisly discovery.

Other details provided by Prochnow state that he had “never heard any yelling, never heard any screaming,” coming from the Crowley’s home. Prochnow remarked that at some point during December, he awoke to something that sounded like gunshots nearby – but could not specify any date when this may have happened.

Prochnow also mentions how the bodies appeared to ‘look like “mannequins’ as he looked through the couple’s front living room window. He states how he was not immediately able to identify the bodies, adding, “To me, they just didn’t look human.”

Other dark details were noticed by Prochnow’s wife, Judy, who exclaimed in a local news interview that she noticed, “a heap of bones, and then I noticed a hand.”

The Prochnow’s can be seen discussing case details with Apple Valley News here…

The bodies are believed to have been in the front of the house for several weeks before being discovered, and when police arrived at the scene they noted that the “rear slider was unlocked and slightly ajar,” referring to the sliding glass door on the backside of the house.

Here is the police dispatch message recorded by MnPoliceClips, as they arrived on the scene and at the 2 minute and 33 second mark you can hear the mention of the rear slider said to have been slightly open. Listen to the recording from the police scanner here:

No Time of Death

One of the lingering problems with this case still remains that the authorities have not announced a time of death, and therefore cannot accurately cross reference any other circumstances, like contact, deliveries, eye witness accounts, phone calls and messages.

To date, investigators have not yet released an exact time of death, or a time frame of how long the Crowley family had been deceased in their house, and but have noted the last activity had taken place sometime late December, as local NBC news affiliate KARE11 reported:

“The Apple Valley Police Department officials say while the investigation is still ongoing, they were able to determine the last verified activity from the residence occurred in late December.”

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is assisting the Apple Valley Police with the investigation. The BCA provides around the clock assistance to local authorities in the event of ‘complex cases.’

Initially, the day after the family was discovered on January 18th, investigators stated that they believed that the deaths were ‘suspicious’ in nature, but at the same time, law enforcement were telling reporters that they were looking at a “double-murder suicide” case. Initial reports also stated that a two sentence ‘note’ was also left at the crime scene that didn’t appear to make any sense according to close friend of the Crowleys who was interviewed.

On January 19th, a Star Tribune report stated that David Crowley’s father, Daniel, who lives in Minnesota, said that he did not hear from his son or daughter-in-law over the holiday season, but did say, “We tried [to contact them].”

It’s important to note that long before a full autopsy had been completed on all three bodies, authorities had already established that the scene was being treated as a ‘murder-suicide’. This was confirmed in a report on January 18th. Authorities told NBC station KARE:

“The incident in Apple Valley was being treated an apparent murder-suicide. Apple Valley Police would not comment on that report when contacted by NBC News.”

Oddly, on January 21st, reports state that medical examiners listed “Saturday, January 17th”, as the Crowleys date of death – but the day of injury is left blank on the news release.

By January 23rd, the deaths of David’s wife, Komel, and young daughter, Raniya, had been ruled a homicide, and David’s death was ruled a suicide by the Hennepin County Medical Center’s satellite office in Apple Valley. However, according to authorities the investigation was “still on going.”

According to Captain John Bermel, of Apple Valley police department, “investigators have not determined a motive, but did find the family had financial stress. He also mentioned substance abuse, but didn’t elaborate,” as reported by the Associated Press on January 23rd.

Bermel made a few grandiose and vague comments to the media early which may or may not inspire confidence depending on one’s view of this case. Twin Cities reported:

“I have 30 years’ experience as a cop and what I’ve found is that any one of these three things alone typically isn’t going to explain some kind of act like this,” he said. “What I can tell you is we are getting some indications of what may have contributed to this.”

Investigators have not found anything to indicate an intruder entered the home and is responsible for the deaths — a prevalent conspiracy theory held by some on various websites, Bermel said.

“We deal with facts,” Bermel said.

Indeed. And many of those fact are still outstanding.

Also on January 23rd, authorities stated that all three persons at the crime scene died of a gunshot to the head, without any signs of struggle or intrusion on the property. In that same report, police also announced that the ‘Electronic Crimes Task Force’ had seized all of the Crowleys’ computers and electronic devices:

“Investigators have also seized a number of personal electronic devices and computers from the home and the Dakota County Electronic Crimes Task Force is completing forensic analysis of the devices.”

Although authorities have released various details of the case through certain media outlets on a piece by piece basis, they have yet to release a complete and comprehensive report outlining the chronology of what happened and when inside of the Crowley’s Apple Valley home.

If law enforcement does not suspect any third party was involved in the three deaths, then why hasn’t a full incident report been released, including forensic evidence such as ballistics, blood spatter and a date of injury? Until a full report is released to the public, it will only fuel additional speculation as to what the full story is, and Crowley’s motive for the said crime, if indeed this was a murder-suicide.

The Anatomy of a Gray State

Having served for 5-years in the US Army, Crowley saw combat in Iraq, Afghanistan, as well as serving overseas in Germany, and back home in Texas. Here is a short excerpt of the rank and official duties of David while in the US Army, according to his LinkedIn profile:

“By 2007 I was a 22-year old sergeant responsible for six soldiers. I supervised their personal, professional, and medical welfare between other responsibilities like cohesive combat vehicle operations, 120mm mortar system deployment and lethal application, essential line infantry combat skills, and personal morale upkeep.”

Crowley is perhaps best known for his liberty activism and his highly anticipated film in progress entitled, Gray State, a high-definition movie production depicting a hyper-real, future dystopia scenario of a ‘once free America’ mired in social decay and economic collapse while falling into an oppressive police state.

Based on the film’s well-produced developmental trailer, Gray State examines a bleak scenario in which America has become a kinetic battleground, a place where violent oppression is the norm, as the country slips into martial law, creating a dark unfathomable landscape in the struggle to keep a free society. Watch the trailer here:

While numerous Hollywood films and TV programs have used similar story elements which also appear in Gray State’s narrative, those working on the project and supporters of it, seemed convinced that this would be a seminal film in that genre – bold, challenging and a detailed illustration exposing federal government tyranny.

It is clear that David Crowley was held in very high regard, not only by his fans and supporters but also by close friends and colleagues. Neighbors of the Crowleys remarked how they were a ‘picture perfect‘ family. Crowley’s outstanding reputation was also echoed in this St. Paul’s Pioneer Press:

“Twin Cities director and filmmaker Paul Von Stoetzel said that David Crowley and his colleagues were good people and had huge dreams for their film careers. Von Stoetzel had met with Crowley early on about possibly writing the script for “Gray State.”

According to the report, Von Stoetzel described how people liked and respected both David Crowley and his business partner, Mitch Heil, who helped to run the pair’s film production company, Hot Head Productions, as well as Bullet Exchange, another company they co-owned which trained actors to use weapons and military and police gear in film.

“He was a great person, a great friend,” Heil said. The two men were friends since high school and had also joined the Army together, but were sent to different assignments, later reunited in the Twin Cities and forming their actor-training company. In September of 2014, business partners Heil and Crowley parted and went their separate ways.

It was around this time that Crowley was said to have had a garage sale to sell off a collection of ‘airsoft’ guns and other military and law enforcement film props used by his company which was apparently in the process of closing around that time. Initially, some overly sensational media reports inaccurately portrayed him as a ‘gun owner with a large arsenal’, screen grabbing some of the last garage sale photos he uploaded to his Instagram account, without providing much of a balanced context with which to view the images.

Although some reports have suggested a multi-million dollar film contract was secured to complete the film, other reports tell a different story, prompting Crowley’s long time collaborator Mitch Heil to state the following:

“Although Crowley had met with people in California about getting “Gray State” made, nothing had panned out.”

The mult-million dollar contract idea appears to have originated in the blogosphere, derived from a quote that appears on a Gray State informational page. Other social media followers have pointed out that the comments may have originated from musician Jordan Page, as some cite a comment made on his own Facebook page dated January 18th, that read the following:

“The film was about to start production with a $30 million budget from a major Hollywood studio.”

According to Crowley’s Instagram account, he had traveled to Hollywood to pursue funding for Gray State, however it seems that the film itself was still in its early stages of production and although he was said to have a few more concept trailers on the way, as well as a promotional documentary film, the feature didn’t appear to be anywhere near completion.

The Jan 23rd Twin Cities report elaborates on Gray State’s Hollywood progress here:

“According to a Facebook post Wednesday by David Kirk West — an Oregon writer, director and producer — Crowley showed his financial stress in three direct messages he sent him through the social-media website. In a June 19, 2014 message, which West took a screenshot of and included in his Facebook post, Crowley asks, “how do you live with filmmaking as your profession? … don’t you panic when things get slow? Don’t you stress and worry. I can’t get away from evil thoughts some days.”

In a Nov. 24, 2013 message, Crowley said he wonders “how other filmmakers survive.”

“I finally went broke this week,” Crowley’s message reads. Crowley voiced concern about his movie project to a Los Angeles film director on Dec. 17, 2014. He told Jason Allen the project — now four years in the making — was “now almost completely abandoned” by its original backers and that he was “exhausted from carrying and managing this burden for so many years.”

Here’s a rough cut of ‘Gray State: The Rise’ documentary on YouTube, it was to be a promotional tool for Crowley’s Gray State film, as he sought funding. Interestingly, this video has been posted dozens of times on to multiple accounts in recent weeks, and then pulled down due to ‘copyright claims’. Here is one such link:

Friends and Media

Adding to the confusion over this developing story, there appears to be some statements made to the media that could be construed as contradictory, made by some Gray State team members after the traumatic event. Pioneer Press reports:

“Twin Cities actor Charles Hubbell starred in the trailer for “Gray State,” which appears to appeal to conspiracy theorists.“

“Hubbell said he doesn’t believe that Crowley, whom he described as efficient, disciplined, passionate and inspirational, believed fully in all the conspiracy theories of government takeover that make up his film.”

Hubbell continued by adding:

“He seemed more grounded and focused than would lend itself to anything chaotic,” Hubbell said. “The entire time I worked with him there was nothing aggressive or chaotic or strange or abnormal. He was one of the ones I was hanging my hat on, one who was going to succeed.”

In an additional report with KSTP TV, Hubbell stated:

“This is not the David that I know. This is nowhere near the David I know. He was proud of his service. He was proud of his expertise.”

There was another report, however,were Hubbell, paints an entirely different picture of Crowley’s mind-set in recent months:

“September time… he stopped talking to people,” Hubbell says. “He asked me to stay in touch with him so we could support each other, and he just stopped taking my calls… He was in a place where he needed help, and it was too big for him to help himself.”

In that same report, featured by a local FOX news affiliate, the media appears to fill in Hubell’s statement, providing their own leading conclusion as to what Crowley’s psychological state was like at the time:

“Charles Hubbel was an actor in the trailer and says in recent months Crowley became despondent that the project had lost steam.”

Also according to Hubbell, the Crowleys had been talking about moving to Los Angeles, with David looking for possible work in the film industry and his wife Komel continuing her health-related business as a professional dietitian at www.mindbodydietitian.com.

In another Star Tribune report there appears more contradictory statements, this time between Jason Allen and David Crowley which characterizes the deceased as both ‘fine’ and in trouble:

“Jason Allen, a producer based in Los Angeles, also said Wednesday that Crowley’s words and actions when the two met in September and in an e-mail Crowley sent him on Dec. 17, seem contradictory to a man who was about to kill his family and himself.”

The report continued:

“Crowley wrote, “I have no idea who much money is going to come together when this kicks off here in a few weeks, but it might be enough to get started on a series, then independent feature(s) running a common story line.”

“Allen was out of town over the holidays and didn’t respond to Crowley’s e-mail until Jan. 8. By then the family was dead.“

Other associates close to Crowley, cast a more definitive picture of the veteran, reported in the local press on January 20th:

Mason Hendricks, a close friend stated that, “There are no answers,” he said. “What you’re ultimately hearing is you had an awesome human being who loved his family and loved life. Then there’s something that none of us know. ” adding, “He’s not a person who snaps. He was too methodical.”

In that same report Hendricks continued:

“Although Crowley was an Army veteran and had served in Afghanistan, he wasn’t a ‘gun nut,’ didn’t suffer from PTSD and was very anti-militarism.”

“I know that people and media and different outlets are going to paint him as this right-wing extremist that had guns. The guy believed in peaceful stuff,” Hendricks said. “He believed in waking people up through knowledge, not through violence.”

In another Star Tribune report, it was disclosed that there was mention of the two-sentence ‘note‘ left at the crime scene:

“Mason Hendricks, one of David Crowley’s best friends, said earlier in the week that his friend left a two-sentence note that doesn’t explain anything. Hendricks wouldn’t say what the note contained.”

Hendricks was said to have last talked to Crowley by the phone on December 2, 2014. Another as of yet ‘unidentified’ friend talked to Crowley by phone on the 16th or 17th of December. Dan Crowley, David’s brother, is said to have dropped off Christmas presents on the 26th or 27th at the Crowley’s Apple Valley residence, according to reports. During this visit, Dan witnessed the family dog in the window:

“Dan Crowley told Hendricks on Monday that the Crowleys’ dog, PALEO, popped his head up into the large front window. Dan Crowley didn’t want to bother his brother and sister-in-law, so left and later called and texted his brother a couple of times, with no reply.”

Comparative analysis

There is another perspective to consider, one that might help put the Crowley tragedy into context.

In 2013, there was a report examining the death of pilot Phillip Marshall and his family. The Marshall case that was also ruled an apparent murder-suicide with seemingly zero motive. According to an investigation into the troubling details of Marshall’s case almost two years ago:

“Many news reports have been quick to echo what the Calaveras County Sheriffs Department has claimed; Philip Marshall killed his two teenage kids, his dog, and himself. What we know is that there is no motive for the allegation, and we know that this conclusion was made the same day that the three bodies were found.”

In some ways the media coverage of the Marshall case mirrors that of the Crowley case, following a very similar pattern – where an official ruling was released long before a motive or full forensic investigation had been completed.

When ‘Reality’ Goes Dark

The conversation surrounding this case appears to have triggered a fiery discourse over the last two weeks.

In the three weeks since the Crowley family was found dead in their Apple Valley home of an apparent murder-suicide, two main forums have materialized on Facebook discussing many theories surrounding the case. There seems to be a firestorm of controversy over comments made on social media pages and internet forums over the case details.

Scanning social media, it’s apparent that there have been multiple calls and comments from friends, family and associates of Crowley not to entertain “conspiracy theories,” pertaining to the gruesome deaths.

Some blogs have posted unorthodox presentations of the Crowley case, including merged and spliced chat conversations from Facebook chat sessions with David Crowley, appearing to lend support the official story in this case.

Other internet chatter points to David Crowley’s own Facebook page as evidence of possible mental decline. However, there is nothing concrete that would substantiate those claims.

Other media reports included typical emotive language which is commonly used by corporate media when trying to disparage a suspect or paint the deceased as a ‘militant’ character who had a “short hair cut” and “started wearing [military] fatigues”. In this instance some pejorative descriptions of Crowley in his final days which again contradict previous statements made about Crowley’s behavior. This may well have been just another case of the media digging for dirt, but it’s still worth noting. The Star Tribune report states:

“The next-door neighbors said Crowley changed his appearance last fall, cut his hair short and started wearing fatigues.”

“We noticed the change in his appearance,” Collin Prochnow said. “His personality didn’t seem to change. We never got into any kind of ­politics.”

One organization which was particularly aggressive towards the deceased was the Southern Poverty Law Center who also wasted no time inserting themselves in this tragedy by posting a highly questionable article about Crowley, well before an official ruling had been made in this case. The report appeared on their Hate Watch blog only 72 hours after the Crowleys bodies had been discovered, and displayed a heavily defamatory narrative. The SPLC seemed very keen to label the incident under the banner of “extremism”. Again, the speed at which this establishment NGO moved to defame Crowley has only raised more suspicion surrounding this case.

Summary

Regardless of people’s opinions regarding Crowley’s Gray State film project, the fact remains it was a much-anticipated film among those in alternative media and “Liberty Movement” circles. However one perceives it, the tragedy has penetrated the community, and would be felt as a crushing blow to some people who believed deeply in this project’s message, and its potential to educate and perhaps warn the public of an impending crisis in America.

As mentioned above, even though Gray State may or may not be a novel concept for film and TV, it was a project conceived and created by a US military veteran, which would certainly lend credibility to the film’s intention and would also spark additional controversy if given enough attention on a mainstream level, in lesser, but similar way in which US Navy SEAL Chris Kyle’s book and film has done recently.

Questions Still Remain

Here are some questions to consider as the details of this case have slowly trickled out from investigators and through media reports:

• Who was the last known person or persons to see the family alive?
• Why was this case quickly treated as a ‘murder-suicide’ before all the forensic evidence was established?
• If the Crowleys were deceased since before Christmas, why wouldn’t family or friends notify authorities, as is a common practice that family are communicating over the holidays?
• What are the exact dates of the family’s injury and deaths?
• Was David Crowley really suffering from PTSD as some have already inferred in the media?
• Is there concrete evidence that Crowley had substance abuse issues, as remarked by Apple Valley authorities?

If the official story is to be believed, then the biggest question of all would be what was David Crowley’s motive for murdering his own wife and daughter, and then killing himself?

NOTE: 21WIRE’s research team has already contacted Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s office asking for copies of the case incident report and a chronology of events, but to date the office has not yet sent the information which was requested.

Crowley and Gray State Alternative Media Interviews and Reactions:

This is a revealing interview conducted by Ben Swann, with actor and co-creator of Gray State, Danny Mason.

Watch as they discuss David Crowley and the future of the Gray State film project directly on the heels of the shocking case…

Other investigators have remarked that perhaps other clues may be hidden in plain sight. Here is one of Crowley’s media associates Rupert Quaintance commenting on the bizarre case:

Here’s an interview with David Crowley and Danny Mason conducted by close friend Sean Wright from the Minnesota chapter of ‘We Are Change’, published in 2012:

Another similar interview with Crowley conducted by Alex Jones from Infowars which aired in August 2012.

Judging from the following interview, it’s evident how both Crowley and Mason were heavily inspired by Alex Jones and some of the popular topics and themes found on Infowars.com. Crowley explains,”Gray State has been my effort to kind of draw the human narrative out of all this terrifying information that we see all around us.” Crowley added, “Why isn’t anyone showing this in a film? That’s what I’m doing. That is what Gray State is. Gray State is the ‘Alex Jones film’, essentially.”

So impressed was Jones with the project, that he even offered to lend his support and to help Crowley to ‘get this done’. Prior to 2012, Jones had several very successful documentary films covering the same subject matter as Gray State, so this would have been a major confidence booster for Crowley to receive such an endorsement. Watch the Alex Jones-David Crowley interview here:

In another video, Crowley can be seen speaking at a Minnesota ‘Liberty Round Table’ event in 2012 and with many of the movement’s most popular personalities in attendance (Crowley’s segment begins at the 49:00 min mark):

Conversation with a Friend of David Crowley – MBS Talk Radio #10 by Greg Fernandez Jr. on Mixcloud

(*Error: I kept calling Mr. Prochnow, “Procktow.” I apologize for that error. Additional errors will be added if discovered.)

In a free country everyone is entitled to their opinion. Here I offer mine. I received two messaged from a friend of David Crowley asking me to stop asking questions about the alleged double-murder suicide. The first message was an instant message I received as an instant message on Facebook. The conversation was followed-up by a phone call. I have since blocked this person on Facebook and I want nothing to do with him ever again. I am not accusing this person of anything. I just want the record to be clear from my point of view. God Bless.

Justice For David Crowley & Family – If It’s True

If it’s true he killed his wife and daughter…

Justice For David Crowley & Family Facebook Group

David Crowley – Back Slider Unlocked, Slightly Ajar

“Even though you may be killed resisting, the act of resistance on a metaphysical level has value.” – David Crowley (Alex Jones Show, Sept. 2012)

In Apple Valley, Minnesota the bodies of David Crowley, 29, his wife Komel, 28, and their 5 year old daughter Rani were found by a neighbor on Saturday January 17th, 2015. Apple Valley police officers arrived at the Crowley residence at 12:56 p.m.

The neighbor, Collin Prochnow, hadn’t seen the Crowley family in nearly four weeks, since before Christmas. A pile of packages on the front door step prompted the neighbor to investigate. When the neighbor rang the doorbell he heard the dog barking, but no one answered.

Mr. Prochnow then peered through the front window and saw three bodies in the front room.

A black gun was also in view through the window.According to what Prochnow told the Star Tribune, the bodies looked like mannequins, “To me, they just didn’t look human.” Prochnow is not the first person to mistake a dead body for a mannequin. Though he didn’t give an exact date or time, in December of 2014 Prochnow heard a noise that sounded like a gun shot.

Paleo, the family dog, was found alive, but had apparently ripped part of a sectional couch in the living room. The dog will hopefully be released into the custody of a Crowley family member.

When police arrived at the Crowley house an officer peered through the window, “There’s several obviously deceased bodies in the front.”

According to police dispatch audio one officer was at the back of the house and told dispatch, “Rear slider is unlocked, slightly ajar.”Another officer states, “We’re gonna make entry as soon as [inaudible] can get here and get this dog.” The back door was “slightly ajar” before officers made an entry into the house.

Apple Valley Police Captain John Bermel told KAAL We will establish a timeline and try to piece together what happened in that house.”

On January 18th, police called the deaths “suspicious,” but were already telling reporters this was a double-murder suicide case. There is a two sentence note allegedly written by David Crowley and it’s possible authorities will use this note as evidence to prove their theory.

Andy Campbell of The Huffington Post claimed, “David Crowley’s social media sites show that he had a fascination with guns. Many of his photos feature pellet guns or military gear.” In my opinion, posing with guns in photographs does not prove Crowley had a fascination with firearms. The Huffington Post article further assumes David Crowley “had begun to act strangely over the past year,” and as evidence Campbell wrote, “Prochnow said he noticed that David recently started wearing fatigues despite having completed his five-year stint in the Army, and cut his hair short last year.”

On January 19th, NY Daily News claimed Crowley had a “passion for war gaming,” almost mirroring what the Huffington Post said about the deceased director.

The Crowleys bought the house in December of 2013. Pat Pheifer of the Star Tribune reported, “Judy Prochnow said another neighbor had commented to her about the curtains at the Crowleys’ home being wide open when, usually, they were closed. But neither the Prochnows nor Alice and Bill Hixson, who live across the street, heard any gunshots or a dog barking, they said.”

David’s father attempted to call his son over the holidays but was unsuccessful. Local actor Charles Hubbell had been trying to reach Crowley for over a month. He told KAAL (ABC 6 News) “I was absolutely crushed. This is not the David that I know. This is nowhere near the David I know. He was proud of his service. He was proud of his expertise.”

Michael Brown Was Shot 6 Times

“This [bullet] here looks like his head was bent downward. It can be because he’s giving up, or because he’s charging forward at the officer…We need more information; for example, the police should be examining the automobile to see if there is gunshot residue in the police car.” – Former New York City Chief Medical Examiner Michael Baden

Autopsy results show Michael Brown was unarmed and shot 6 times in the front of his body. In the video below, Dr. Michael Baden explains where Brown was shot. Former New York City Chief Medical Examiner Michael Baden was brought to Missouri to conduct a second autopsy at the request of Michael Brown’s family. One of the bullets entered the top of Michael Brown’s head; the deceased teenager may have been leaning forward when that bullet entered his skull. None of the shots appear to be at close range.

“The sheer number of bullets and the way they were scattered all over his body showed this police officer had a brazen disregard for the very people he was supposed to protect in that community. We want to make sure people understand what this case is about: This case is about a police officer executing a young unarmed man in broad daylight.” – Benjamin L. Crump (Brown Family Lawyer)

“In my capacity as the forensic examiner for the New York State Police, I would say, You’re not supposed to shoot so many times.” – Former New York City Chief Medical Examiner Michael Baden

Robin Williams Questions – What Schemes May Come

Ask Questions, Look For Answers. After the first Press Conference about the death of Robin Williams. Lieutenant Keith Boyd, of Marin County Sheriff’s Office said, “We’re not discussing the note or a note at this point as the investigation is on-going and that information will be discussed at a future time at the concluding press conference.” Email him at: [email protected]

Details: August 11 20014 11:55 am a 911 call was made (received by Marin County Communications)

Robin Williams was unconscious and not breathing.

“The caller was distraught and indicated at that time that was an apparent suicide due to a hanging had taken place and that rigamortis has set in.”

Authorities arrived at 12 pm. Williams was pronounced dead at 12:02 pm by firefighters.

“Preliminary information developed during the investigation by coroner division personnel has revealed Mr. Williams had been seeking treatment for depression. Mr. Williams was last seen alive by his wife at approximately 10:30 pm on August 10th, 2014, when she retired for the evening in a room in the home.”

When Williams went into a separate bedroom in the home that evening is “unknown at this time.”

“At approximately 10:30 am on August 11th, 2014, Mr. William’s wife left the home believing Mr. Williams to still be asleep. Mr. Williams’ personal assistant became concerned at approximately 11:45 am, when he failed to respond to knocks on his bedroom door. At that time, the personal assistant was able to gain access to Mr. William’s bedroom and enter the bedroom to find Mr. Williams clothed, in a seated position, unresponsive with a belt secured around his neck with the other end of the belt wedged between the closed closet door and the door frame. His right shoulder area was touching the door with his body perpendicular to the door and slightly suspended.”

“The inside of Mr. Williams’ left wrist had several acute superficial transverse cuts. A pocket knife with a closed blade was located in close proximity to Mr. Williams. The pocket knife was examined and a dry red material was located on the blade of the knife, which appeared consistent with dry blood. It is unknown at this time if the dry red material is in fact blood or if it is Mr. Williams’ blood. But scientific testing will be conducted to evaluate its investigative value.”

The body was transferred to the Napa County Sheriff’s Office morgue. A forensic examination was done this morning, August 12th, 2014, before the press conference. The examination was conducted by Marin County Sheriff’s Office Chief Forensic Pathologist Joseph Cohen. Cohen found no signs of a struggle or a physical altercation.
Toxicology results will be forthcoming in about 2 to 6 weeks.

“Please note that this is an active investigation into the cause, manner, and circumstances of Mr. William’s death. The work of the coroner’s office is not complete at this time. The final cause and manner of death will not be certified until a conclusion of the investigation, which is several weeks away. When the investigation is concluded, and our final results are ready for dissemination, a press conference will be scheduled at that time.”

Jesse Ventura Wins Lawsuit Against Chris Kyle Estate

“I don’t feel good because the SEALs are my unit and I can’t go out to a reunion anymore, and I’ve been to more SEAL reunions than I have high school reunions and I’ve never missed a high school reunion. And I can’t go now because that was the place I felt safe and I don’t anymore. That’s been violated…and it can never be restored.” Jesse Ventura (after the verdict)

“All of my witnesses, three of them, were with me all night long; two of them former SEALs and another SEALs wife. And they all testified there was nothing like that that even took place that night…to me it was a slam dunk.” – Jesse Ventura

On Tuesday, July 29th, 2014, a St Paul, Minnesota court awarded Jesse Ventura 1.8 million dollars in the defamation lawsuit against the Chris Kyle estate. 8 jurors agreed that Jesse Ventura had been defamed while only 2 jurors agreed that Chris Kyle’s story was true. Ventura told CBS This Morning hosts that the 1.8 million will pay for his lawyer fees. It’s a hefty price to clear his name, but well worth it.

Jesse Ventura appeared on CBS This Morning to explain why he pursued this lawsuit, “You pursue a lawsuit for the truth.” The former Governor of Minnesota told the hosts. “The whole story was fabricated. I was accused of treason, which in the military is the death penalty…the bottom line is it never happened…Taya Kyle had all her attorney fees paid by insurance. I did not. I incurred two-and-a-half years of lawyer fees that I have to pay to clear my name, and she had insurance paying everything for her.”

Don’t expect to see Jesse Ventura at any future SEAL reunions either, “That was the one place that I always felt safe. I can’t go there anymore. I would be looking over my shoulder now wondering who’s going to come after me next. And so, don’t think I come out of this unscathed.”

After the verdict, Ventura’s lawyers stated that there were no winners in this lawsuit. From the very beginning of the fabricated “sucker-punch” story, Ventura only sought to clear his name. Ventura was accused of saying that the SEALs in Iraq “deserved to lose a few.” Chris Kyle claimed he punched Ventura at Mc P’s bar in 2006, a bar owned by a former SEAL who is close friends with the former governor.

What happened? Or didn’t happen?

“An insurance company’s paying for the whole thing anyway. The insurance company of the book publisher…I just have to sue her simply because she is now [the executor of] the estate since he had passed away. It’s just a legal procedure you have to go through because of a death.” – Jesse Ventura

The alleged incident happened on October 12, 2006 at McP’s bar in San Diego.

“McP’s bar is owned by Doc McParkland, who was my seal cadre instructor when I just came out of training. He instructed me in Seal SBI, seal basic indoctrination and he owns that establishment and I would never ever misbehave in the Doc’s establishment. I have too much respect for him, and if people want to truly clear this up, call him.” – Jesse Ventura

Jesse Ventura’s civil trial of his defamation lawsuit began on Tuesday, July 8, 2014 at the Warren E. Burger Federal Building & United States Courthouse in St. Paul Minnesota. The judge, jury and court audience, including journalist Marino Eccher, heard the November 2012 deposition of the late Chris Kyle. Kyle told his version of what happened at McP’s bar in San Diego, California in 2006, during the wake of fellow Navy SEAL Michael Monsoor.

In the deposition, Kyle claimed Ventura said the SEALs deserved to lose a few soldiers. If Ventura was as disgusted with soldiers as Kyle claimed, why would the former Governor of Minnesota attend the wake in the first place? Why was Jesse Ventura at the graduation ceremony for the SEAL graduates the following day without any visible marks on his face? Chris Kyle allegedly fled the scene after he “sucker-punched” Ventura because he saw police nearby. Kyle claimed he punched Ventura because he felt Ventura was about to punch him. “I felt I was fixing to get punched,” Kyle told one of Ventura’s lawyers, David Olson in the 2012 deposition. Kyle admitted Ventura never raised his arm or took a full swing at Kyle.

Jesse Ventura was at the bar on the night in question. Ventura arrived at the bar by 8:30 p.m. Asked if he knew Chris Kyle, Ventura responded, “I have no recollection of him whatsoever.” Asked about the alleged comments Kyle said Ventura made, the former governor stated he would never speak that way about military servicemen, “I view those veterans as victims.”

Marion Eccher reported that Ventura “said he wasn’t drinking and hasn’t done so since he started taking blood-thinning medication after leaving the governor’s mansion. The medication also causes him to bleed and bruise easily, he said — to the point where he no longer uses bladed razors and sustains bruises from otherwise unremarkable bumps and knocks.” As for the petition to remove Jesse Ventura from the Underwater Demolition Team/SEAL Association, Ventura explained it was regarding “his continued pursuit of the lawsuit after Kyle’s death, not for the conduct described in Kyle’s story,” according to what Marion Eccher reported at Twincities.com.

Jesse Ventura says the incident never happened. Chris Kyle said it did. What did the witnesses say?

Witnesses who said the incident did not happen:

Bill DeWitt is a former SEAL who underwent Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training with Jesse Ventura beginning in 1969. Pioneer Press journalist Marion Eccher was in the courtroom for the duration of the defamation case and reported, “The DeWitts, Ventura and other BUD/S classmates were in San Diego in 2006 for a reunion and graduation ceremony. They convened at McP’s bar the night before the ceremony — the same night Kyle and his colleagues were at the bar for the wake of slain SEAL Michael Monsoor.”

Mr. DeWitt did not see or hear of any bar fight that involved Jesse Ventura. If someone had punched Ventura, he told Kyle estate attorney Leita Walker, “You’d have had a whole bunch of 60-year-olds all over you.” Bill DeWitt stated if Ventura was being loud, as Kyle claimed, Dewitt would have heard it. Dewitt was asked about a 2013 petition to have Ventura removed from the Underwater Demolition Team-SEAL Association. When the petition reached DeWitt, he did not sign it, adding, “You weren’t there.” If DeWitt thought there was any validity to Kyle’s claim he would have confronted Ventura.

Charlene DeWitt is Bill DeWitt’s wife. Before McP’s, she had never met Jesse Ventura. “I was eavesdropping on Jesse,” she said in court. She overheard Ventura say, “I don’t think this war is worth one SEAL dying for.” Marion Eccher wrote, “She heard him criticize the war in Iraq but didn’t hear him badmouth fallen soldiers or argue with younger servicemen. She said she didn’t see him get into a fistfight or sport a black eye or bruised face in the following days.”

Bill and Charlene DeWitt were with Ventura during the graduation ceremony that took place the following day. Neither recalled witnessing a bar fight, nor did they hear anything about the alleged incident in the days and years afterwards.

Robert Leonard was Jesse Ventura’s classmate from Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training, who also testified that he didn’t see a confrontation involving Jesse Ventura. He didn’t hear about a fight or a confrontation after the alleged incident either. Robert Leonard did not believe Ventura would say we deserved to lose a few soldiers, “That just seems like an unbelievable statement.”

Witnesses who claim the incident did happen:

Laura DeShazo is the sister of a Navy SEAL and an education specialist for Utah’s public schools. Laura, her sister and another female took a picture with Ventura that night. She testified, “I saw Mr. Ventura get hit,” but claims she didn’t know who hit him. She allegedly watched the incident for a few seconds before turning away. She claims the incident happened on the bar’s patio.

However, Marion Eccher pointed out that Chris Kyle said the incident happened on a sidewalk outside the patio, “Kyle’s testimony in a 2012 deposition, place the incident on a sidewalk outside the patio and in the opposite direction from where DeShazo said she witnessed it.”

Eccher reported that DeShazo “was certain the fight took place on the bar’s patio, where the wake was held and where Ventura and his Navy classmates had gathered for a reunion of their own.” Eccher also wrote that “some details of her account — particularly where the former Minnesota governor was standing when she saw the incident – don’t match with other versions of the story.”

John Kelly is a current Navy SEAL who was also at McP’s on October 12, 2006. Kelly testified he heard Ventura talking about his opposition to the Iraq War. Kelly said he saw Ventura on the ground after the alleged incident. Kelly claimed he saw Chris Kyle run from the scene. Kelly said Kyle later told him he punched Ventura. Kelly met Kyle at another bar the same night. At that bar, Kyle allegedly told Kelly he punched Ventura after Ventura the SEALs deserved to lose a few.

Andrew Paul is also a Navy SEAL who was at the bar that night for the wake of Michael Monsoor. In a deposition played in the courtroom, he testified he did not see the punch, but did see Ventura getting up off the ground with a bloody lip. He also claims he heard Ventura say, “I’m going to fucking kill you.” Apparently, no one else heard Ventura say that. Paul described Ventura’s view on 9/11 as radical. Paul said Kyle told him about the incident the next day. Andrew Paul was Chris Kyle’s superior.

Rosemary DeShazo is a Utah doctor and sister of a SEAL. She is also the sister of another eyewitness, Laura DeShazo. Rosemary did not see the fight her sister claims to have seen. Rosemary testified she heard Ventura say that Michael Monsoor “probably deserved it.” She also claimed Ventura said, “They die all the time.”

Bob Gassoff is also a Navy SEAL who was at the wake at McP’s. In a video deposition, Gassoff said he heard a commotion around the area where the alleged incident took place.
Jeremiah Dinnell is a former Navy SEAL who was also at the bar that night. He claims he tried to buy Ventura beer. According to his testimony, Ventura turned him down because he didn’t drink because of blood-thinner medication. Dinnell is the second person who claims to have actually seen the sucker-punch. Marion Eccher wrote, “As [Dinnell] was moving between bars, he said, he saw Ventura take an aggressive stance and say SEALs deserved to lose a few men in Iraq. Then Kyle hit him and Ventura went down…Dinnell seemed to say in his deposition he saw it on the patio, but said Wednesday it happened on the sidewalk.”

Kevin Lacz served with Chris Kyle in Iraq as a SEAL. He did not see the alleged punch, but claims he saw Ventura get up off of the ground. He also said he saw Chris Kyle leaving the scene. Though Chris Kyle claimed in his deposition he fled the scene because police were in the area, as seen above, one of the eyewitnesses stated Kyle was in another bar, apparently within walking distance, to tell the story of the sucker punch.

John Jones is a SEAL reservist who was at McP’s the night of the alleged incident. Jones was close friends with Chris Kyle. Jones didn’t see the alleged punch but claims he did see Ventura getting up off the ground. Jones did not hear Ventura say anything bad about soldiers.

The Rough Draft

There were many drafts for Chris Kyle’s story about what happened outside the bar on October 12, 2006, ending with a refined version of Chris Kyle punching Jesse Ventura. The book was written by Chris Kyle, Scott McEwen, and Jim DeFelice and was released in 2012.

Journalist Marion Eccher has been in the courtroom from the beginning of this trial and he will be there until it’s over. “Court Anderson, one of Ventura’s attorneys, asked [Jim] DeFelice why he’d tweaked the story in various drafts and removed details that didn’t make the final version, including Ventura’s head hitting the ground, the former Minnesota governor staying down and the police showing up. Did DeFelice trim those parts because he thought they’d make the story easier to verify, Anderson asked? No, the author said — it was simply part of refining the story in the writing process. Anderson asked if DeFelice ever checked with Coronado police to see if they’d reported the incident. He had not, he said.”

The Verdict

Marion Eccher was present in the courtroom when the civil trial of Jesse Ventura’s defamation lawsuit came to a close. Ventura’s attorneys believe they have proven their case that Chris Kyle lied about the sucker punch and that the lie damaged Jesse Ventura. They believe photos taken after the alleged sucker punch prove there were no signs that Jesse Ventura had been in a fight.

Marion Eccher reported, “For Ventura to win, jurors must find that Kyle’s story was false and that Kyle acted with what’s known as “actual malice” in telling it — he either knew it wasn’t true or acted with reckless disregard for the facts. They must also find Ventura was damaged by the story.”

After a three week trial, Jesse Ventura was awarded 1.8 million dollars in damages in his lawsuit against the Chris Kyle estate. His attention will now turn to the publisher of Chris Kyle’s book, HarperCollins. Ventura told CBS This Morning, “They published the book and did no due diligence to find out if the story was true.” HarperCollins plans on removing the passage about the “sucker-punch” from Kyle’s book, according to what HarperCollins spokeswoman Erin Crum told The Associated Press.

“All I wanted to do is clear my name and it has nothing to do with a widow or anything like that. It was me against an insurance company.” – Jesse Ventura

Unthinkable: An Airline Captain’s Story (Eric Stacey Interview)

Eric Stacey’s Youtube Channel

Philip Marshall Questions continue as independent researcher and citizen journalist Dan Hennen interviews the director, writer and producer of Unthinkable: An Airline Captain’s Story, Eric Stacey. Eric Stacey explains why he made the film, stating he’s been a 9/11 Truther for a long time; involved with AE911Truth.org. “Why I made it, is basically because the mainstream media didn’t cover it at all.” Dan Hennen asked if there was any backlash for making the film. Mr Stacey responded, “We pretty much got trashed.” How long did it take for Eric Stacey to make the film? After answering that question. Stacey shares his view on 9/11 and the Patriot Act. Eric begins with, “I don’t know if my view makes any difference to tell you the truth.” I can tell you his work has made a big difference in many people’s lives, including mine. Did Calaveras County Sheriff Gary Kuntz have a prior relationship with Philip Marshall before his death? The director of Unthinkable then discusses the cast of Unthinkable, including Randall Paul (Philip Marshall) and an unforgettable performance by Drew Barrios (Sgt. Chris Hewitt). Dennis Fitzpatrick (Wayne Madsen) gives an outstanding performance as the concerned friend of Philip Marshall and gives us all hope that the truth will come out one day. The close friend of teenager Alex Marshall is played by Shade Streeter, who portrays a concerned friend, and a skeptic of the official theory of the Marshall family deaths. Michael Biesanz (Marshall’s Neighbor) plays the concerned neighbor of Philip Marshall, who along with the teenagers, finds the bodies of Philip, Alex and Macaila Marshall. Shannon Churchwell plays Alex Marshall and Rachel Henry plays Macaila Marshall. The son seems very close to Philip Marshall’s character while the daughter has a strained relationship with her mother. The acting is superb by the teenagers, but only the real friends of Alex and Macaila Marshall will know if their friends were portrayed accurately.

Unthinkable – Trailer

Stacey also discusses the mysterious death of Osama bin Laden. The conversation turns to Sean Marshall, was her trip to Turkey – the weekend her family was murdered – planned or a last minute unexpected trip? Eric explains why only one teenager, Mike, found the bodies instead of more. “I tried to get four kids, believe me,” Eric Stacey explained. Eric did speak to Sean Marshall about the film, “She was very apprehensive about the film. She was afraid that we were going to represent the side of the story that she didn’t believe…I told her that we were presenting the story pretty much factually from both sides.” I asked Eric if the cast of the film was uncomfortable playing such controversial parts. Researcher Randy Crow wondered why the actor who played Philip Marshall, Randall Paul, didn’t shave his head for the part. “I’m not going to ask an unpaid fella,” Stacey answered, “who has worked with Stanley Kubrick in Eyes Wide Shut, with Tom Cruise, to shave his head for a four day part that he’s not getting paid for.” Eric finishes the interview by sharing more of his view on 9/11 and Philip Marshall’s books.

Hydra’s New World Order – Captain America: Winter Soldier

The Cold Winter

Captain America: The Winter Soldier picks up after The Avengers saved New York City from aliens sent by Thanos and a nuclear missile dispatched by S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s superiors, the World Council; which is similar to the United Nations. Robert Redford plays Alexander Pierce, secretary of the World Council who turns out to be a top HYDRA agent. Nick Fury uncovers files that relate to Hydra’s future plans to kill millions of people and create a HYDRA World Order. Nick Fury is hunted down by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents loyal to HYDRA while Captain America is declared a fugitive by the intelligence agency. In the Marvel Cenematic Universe, S.H.I.E.L.D. stands for Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.

Since World War II, HYDRA (a German Nazi spin-off group) has spent 70 years infiltrating S.H.I.E.L.D. and “feeding wars.” “Hail HYDRA” is a common theme for the government officials and S.H.I.E.L.D agents loyal to HYDRA throughout Captain America: Winter Soldier. “If a head is cut off, two more will take its place.” The sequel to Captain America: The First Avenger is expected to gross over $500 million world-wide. I’m assuming that’s a low estimate, especially considering the elements of truth spread throughout the Russo Brothers film. Operation Paperclip and the New World Order are specifically mentioned in relation to HYDRA. HYDRA’s plans for a New World Order involve population reduction by using three S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarriers, which are three aircraft carrier size drones, created under S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Operation Insight. The drones are able to kill thousands of people within a minute using targeting devices and highly sophisticated gun turrets.

The Story

The movie begins in Washington D.C. Where Captain America Steve Rogers is out for a morning jog. Captain America meets Sam Wilson, who will become the Falcon and provide shelter when Steve Rogers becomes a wanted man by S.H.I.E.L.D. “I had a really hard time finding a reason for being over there,” Falcon later tells Rogers about the Iraq or Afghanistan War.

After World War II, “the Nazi-rogue science division” known as HYDRA spent the next 70 years infiltrating the hierarchy of S.H.I.E.L.D. as well as people within the United States Government. To create a New World Order, HYDRA needs to eradicate any and every possible threat to their organization. Using a computer algorithm, HYDRA believes they can eliminate present and future uprisings that might pose a problem for their New World Order. Project Insight is a S.H.I.E.L.D. operation that created three aircraft carrier-sized drones, which are able to kill thousands of people within a minute. S.H.I.E.L.D Director Nick Fury explains the operation in detail to Captain America, “This is Project Insight. Three next-generation helicarriers sent to a network of targeting satellites. Once we get them in the air they never need to come down…these new long-range precision guns can eliminate a thousand hostiles in a minute. The satellites can read a terrorist’s DNA before he steps outside his spyhole. We’re going to neutralize a lot of threats before they even happen.”

Captain America is not impressed, “This isn’t freedom, this is fear.” But unlike the Captain, S.H.I.E.L.D. answers to the World Council, not America. Director Nick Fury wants Captain America to recognize that “S.H.I.E.L.D. takes the world as it is, not as we’d like it to be. It’s gettin’ damn near past time for you to get with that program.”

“Don’t hold your breath,” the First Avenger tells Fury.

When Nick Fury tries to have the Operation Insight shut down, he becomes the target of HYDRA agents, secretly posing as agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. An internal war begins within the intelligence agency and it’s up to Captain America to stop HYDRA’s plans for a New World Order.

HYDRA agents, posing as Washington D.C. police and swat team members open fire on Nick Fury but the director manages to escape. Fury shows up at Captain America’s apartment and tells Steve Rogers that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been compromised. A second assassination attempt on Fury leads everyone to believe that the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is dead. “Don’t trust anyone,” Fury tells Rogers before he dies.

Captain America then speaks with Secretary of the World Council Alexander Pierce, the man who appointed Nick Fury to be the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Pierce tells Rogers about the looming allegations against Nick Fury; that Fury was selling classified intelligence information to terrorists.

“If you really knew Nick Fury you’d know that’s not true.”

Pierce smiles, “Why do you think we’re talking?”

Pierce then explains why he joined the World Council, “Because Nick asked me to. Because we were both realists. We knew that despite all the diplomacy and the hand-shaking and the rhetoric, that to build a really better world sometimes means having to tear the old one down.”

Captain America is HYDRA’s next target. Over a dozen S.H.I.E.L.D. agents attempt to detain Rogers, but he easily disposes of them and escapes the S.H.I.E.L.D. base. Alexander Pierce believes Steve Rogers is withholding information about Nick Fury from S.H.I.E.L.D. “Captain America is a fugitive from S.H.I.E.L.D,” Pierce tells the agency. With the approval of the World Council, Alexander Pierce continues on with Project Insight.

Before he died in the 1970s, the HYDRA scientist Professor Zola created a computer database that is able to interact with people and answer their questions. When Rogers and Black Widow find the computer, they ask it questions in hopes of uncovering HYDRA’s master plan. “How did you get here?” Captain America asks the computer.

“Invited.”

Black Widow explains a little about Operation Paperclip, “Operation Paperclip. After World War II, S.H.I.E.L.D. recruited German scientists for strategic value.”

The computer further explains, “HYDRA was founded on the belief that humanity could not be trusted with its own freedom. What we did not realize was that if you try to take that freedom, they resist. The war taught us much. Humanity needed to surrender its freedom willingly. After the war, S.H.I.E.L.D. was founded and I was recruited. The new HYDRA grew. A beautiful parasite inside S.H.I.E.L.D. For 70 years HYDRA has been secretly feeding crisis. Reaping war. And when history did not cooperate, history was changed…HYDRA created a world so chaotic that humanity is finally ready to sacrifice its freedom to gain its security. Once the purification process is complete, HYDRA’s New World Order will arise.”

When confronted by Nick Fury, Alexander Pierce tells him, “I can bring order to the lives of 7 billion people by sacrificing 20 million.”

The First Avenger

“Bucky’s whole unit was captured in ’43. Zola experimented on him. Whatever he did helped Bucky survive the fall,” Captain America tells Black Widow, after he discovers that the Winter Soldier is the man Rogers grew up with. Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers were brothers  on the schoolyard and on the battlefield. Before he became the Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes fought alongside his best friend Steve Rogers, Captain America, during World War II, battling Hitler’s Nazis and Hydra. Steve Rogers looked up to his friend Bucky Barnes, and wanted to join the United States Armed Forces during World War II. While other people avoided being drafted to go fight Hitler in Germany, Steve Rogers was trying to insert himself onto the battlefield. Rogers was unfit for the draft and was denied entry into the armed services many times.Eventually Rogers was injected with a super soldier serum and became a poster child used to sell war bonds to Allied Powers supporters. Rogers eventually earned his place within the United States Army, and even rescued Bucky Barnes and other prisoners of war. During the imprisonment, Bucky was tortured and brainwashed by Hydra agents. Later, while Captain America and Bucky are in pursuit of HYDRA, still during World War II, Bucky falls off of a moving train and is presumed dead. Captain America defeats the leader of HYDRA, The Red Skull, before disappearing somewhere in Antarctica. The search for Steve Rogers lasts over 70 years, until his frozen body is found, and Rogers wakes up in the present day, thanks to agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and their director, Nick Fury.

Conclusions

Captain America: Winter Soldier is a political thriller tailored towards the Truth Movement. Full of false flags and espionage betrayal, the film focuses around a group of terrorists that have infiltrated the world’s self-proclaimed peace-keepers. Never does Captain America compromise his morals for the greater good of the world. Instead, Captain America brings down HYDRA in the end, even though doing so also means the end of the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization. Yet our story does not end here. There will be a sequel to this movie, and I’m not just talking about The Avengers: Age of Ultron, which focuses on a Terminator-like scenario where machines turns against man. There will be a Captain America 3, with the Russo Brothers already signed to direct.

FBI Knew Boston Bomber Suspects Long Before the ‘Main Event’

FBI Knew Boston Bomber Suspects Long Before the ‘Main Event’

March 31, 2014 By

21st Century Wire says…

The one year anniversary of the Boston Bombing is fast approaching, and sadly, the American public are no closer to learning what really happened on the day, and in the aftermath of ‘The Main Event’.

Since the two Tsarnaev brothers were announced by the FBI as their “prime suspects” in the Boston Bombing which occurred on Monday April 15th, 2013, every major US media network and government agency have assumed that the said suspects are guilty – based solely a single photograph claiming to place them as fleeing the scene of the alleged bombing.


The most disturbing fact in the FBI’s Tsarnaev Brothers (photo, above) storyline, is that only hours before the fugitive brothers’ photos were thrust into the media by the FBI, two other ‘suspects’ were being pursued, and are believed to have been killed following that manhunt. The first two names which were announced as suspects – who police were in pursuit of, were Mike Mulugeta, reported as shot dead, and missing student Sunil Tripathi, whose body was reported to have been found dead, floating face down days later in a pond near Providence, Rhode Island. With both Mulugeta and Tripathi out of the frame, the FBI introduced the Tsarnaev brothers’ pictures to the world. Interestingly, Tripathi was reported missing and appeared on an official FBI persons list from March 16th, which coincidentally followed a series of bomb explosions between Providence, RI and Boston taking place on March 12th. To date, authorities have not explained any of these facts – all of which are pivotal in any real investigation of what happened at last year’s Boston Marathon.

The FBI’s narrative fell apart the minute they released the photos of Tamerlan Tsarnaev and brother Dzhokhar. The FBI then insisted that ‘no other suspects should be considered – these are the men we’re looking for now’. Here’s the obvious kicker though: the FBI claimed to not know the names of the brothers in the photos as it asked the public for ‘any information relating to these two new faces’.

Despite a wall of denial and evasion, some smarter elements of the media discovered that not only did the FBI know who the brothers were, but the elder Tamerlan had been recruited by the agency as an informant, and although he is not alive to tell his side of the story – he was most likely working for either the FBI or another agency in that capacity. This explains why Tamerlan traveled overseas to attend the “American Committee for Peace in the Caucasus”, in the summer of 2012 – an event that was organised by the Jamestown Foundation – another known CIA front, which is part of a vast network “controlled by Freedom House (George Soros) and linked to the CIA” according to Voltaire Network.

If that sounds suspicious, that’s because it is – and the FBI cannot plead ignorance or incompetence regarding these glaring facts of the case it claims to have investigated.

In light of this fact, then, far from being a “terrorist”, Tamerlan Tsarnaev would actually fall under the category of Patriot – working for the US government.

Considering the latest court room revelations in the trial of Dzhokhar, it doesn’t require a genius to work out that the two brothers were both patsies placed at the scene in adrill gone live‘.

Did FBI Try to Recruit Boston Bomber Tsarnaev as Spy?


Mark Piggot

IB Times

A defence attorney for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, who faces the death penalty if convicted of carrying out the bombings at the Boston Marathon in 2013, claims the FBI attempted to recruit his older brother Tamerlan to spy on Muslims and the Chechen community in the city.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, who was shot dead after allegedly carrying out the attacks, in which three people died, has also been linked to a gruesome triple murder in the city which took place on 11 September, 2011 – ten years to the day after the deadly terror attacks on New York and Washington.


BOTH DEAD: Ibragim Todashev (l) and Tamerlan Tsarnaev (WFTV/Reuters)

The bodies of apartment owner Brendan Mess, 25, Erik Weissman, 31, and Raphael Teken, 37, were found in a Waltham, Boston apartment on 12 September 2011, their throats slashed, bodies placed face down and covered with marijuana and thousands of dollars in cash.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a close friend of Mess, visiting the Waltham apartment regularly. The two men also worked out at the Wai Kru mixed martial arts gym. Despite his name being mentioned by several friends during interviews he was never questioned – and never attended the funeral or memorial service.

Following Tsarnaev’s death, an FBI agent went to interview his friend Ibragim Todashev in Florida. Todashev also knew Mess and trained at the same gym. When asked about the killings in Waltham he apparently implicated Tsarnaev but then tried to attack the agent with a metal pole and was shot dead. The FBI agent responsible has been cleared of any wrong-doing.

Now journalists in the US are asking how much information the FBI had about Tsarnaev and his murky past and whether the FBI might even have prevented the bombings taking place had they followed up leads about Tsarnaev earlier.

Dzhokhar’s defence attorney filed a court motion on Friday which said: “We base this on information from our client’s family and other sources that the FBI made more than one visit to talk with (Tamerlan’s parents) and Tamerlan, questioned Tamerlan about his internet searches, and asked him to be an informant.”

However in a statement the FBI rejected the claims, saying there was “no evidence that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was solicited by the government to be an informant.”

Philip Marshall Questions – Last Trip To Turkey

According to an unnamed source of Dan Hennen, Sean Marshall’s last trip to Turkey was “not planned and was quite spontaneous.” Sean Marshall is the wife of the late Philip Marshall, a man who was convinced that the official theory about 9/11 was a lie and a cover-up orchestrated by people within and associated with the United States Government. The person said that Phil was surprised by Sean’s last trip to Istanbul, Turkey. The person told Hennen he had traveled to Istanbul with both Philip and Sean Marshall in the past. The three were working on a business venture in the country.
Researcher and independent journalist Dan Hennen conversed with someone who claimed to be close to Philip Marshall. Like many people who have researched the case of Philip Marshall, the person was very skeptical of the official theory created by the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Department. “This is all so fucking bizarre,” the person told Hennen.
Dan told the person, “there was $150,000 banking transfer that went to an individual in the area on 2/6. A couple of ladies in the area have been helpful as well…One has a best friend that has a good connection with a person “involved” with the hitman…but she won’t talk…The only connections we’ve got is a post office in Vallecito…a guy who worked there for 8 months and then moved out of the area after the murders…and the kids who found the bodies.” Vallectico is 4 miles from Murphys, where authorities claim Philip Marshall killed his two teenage children and a small family dog.

“Those gold belts mean everything to you and if you ain’t in the business to have one of them belts you got no business being in it.” – Steve Austin (The Steve Austin Show)

Stone Cold Steve Austin had Dave “The Ace of Belts” Millican on his podcast to discuss the art of creating a professional wrestling championship belt. Millican is a huge fan of professional wrestling. Millican was a young kid when he made his first championship belt out of cardboard. “One morning I flipped on the TV,” Mullican told Austin, “and I was watching Jerry Lawler and Dutch Mantell and I said, you know what, I need one of those southern belts. So I made myself on one of those versions out of the little, started with cardboard and aluminum foil and went from there.” Check out Episode 89 of The Steve Austin Show on Podcast One for more information.
