Something feels off. As soon as a breaking story comes across my feed, my gut has a reaction. Sometimes, my gut tells me something that contrasts with how the story is delivered. Here’s an example. When Jeffrey Epstein was arrested, my initial response was “that guy won’t live to see a trial.” I had just enough knowledge of the case to know that there were some high level entities and influential elites that were in serious peril of being outed by this man. He had associated with the likes of Bill and Hillary, who (due to several cases of situational speculation) would benefit by his being silenced. And, in the words of John Kennedy, Republican Senator from Louisiana, “Christmas ornaments, drywall, and Epstein – name three things that don’t hang themselves.” So, the black and white of it is 1. Jeffrey Epstein had dirt on the Clinton mafia; and 2. He is dead and “nobody saw anything.” So, was my gut reaction a conspiracy theory? Was it spot on? It certainly seems as though my gut predicted exactly what was going to happen.
Those types of scenarios have played out several times, especially in the last few years with pandemic wishy-washyness and political nonsense. I’ve had several gut reactions to things that felt off in the recent past. Some of them have proven to be true, but some are still hanging like a chad (referencing a controversial conspiracy theory from long before Covid). I won’t go back and rehash them all, mainly because there are too many to remember and seem to pop up so frequently it’s hard to keep track. But there’s one right now that I am eyeing with my squinty eyes and feeling in my twitchy gut, and that is the case of Alec Baldwin. Since we haven’t seen the end of that story, I want to document my prediction right now, on February 16, 2022, and test my gut.
So, for context, here’s the story. On October 21, 2021 Alec was on set of the movie “Rust” which was being filmed in New Mexico. According to accounts, he was rehearsing a scene in which his character was to be shooting a gun. The prop master, Sarah Zachry, was said to have brought the handgun out of the prop storage area, one or two other people handled it, then the assistant director, Dave Halls, gave it to Baldwin stating that it wasn’t loaded. What we know about Sarah Zachry is that she had been working on the film for five to six days, she was 24 years old at the time of the shooting, she had worked on only 3 sets prior to “Rust” and there had been several complaints about safety on the set. When Baldwin took the gun, he did not check for himself to see that it was not loaded. Then, he fired a shot and fatally struck the Director of Photography, Halyna Hutchins and also striking Director, Joel Souza. He immediately called it an accident and as of today there have been no charges filed.
This is where the conspiracy comes in to play.
Halyna Hutchins was a Ukranian Cinematographer who had worked on more than 30 films, short films and TV miniseries. It was rumored that she was working on a documentary on Hollywood pedophile rings, but fact-checkers have said that was just a conspiracy theory. I have searched several outlets on different platforms and have found no confirmation that this documentary was actually being created, only that this was a rumor. But why would a random rumor like this exist? Why would such an oddly specific rumor have been spread? I have to believe there was some truth there because “you can’t make this s#!+ up”.
Alec Baldwin has made a reputation for himself of being a far-left, Trump hating, gun-grabbing über-Democrat. He won an Emmy for his portrayal of Donald Trump on SNL, supported Barak Obama and Joe Biden and was associated with No Rifle Association Initiative, an anti-NRA movement. Alec has been the producer on 24 sets, has played 144 roles and directed one of the works he produced. Without counting and assuming to know the details of all of these movies and TV shows I never saw (because I really wasn’t interested or because this waste of human flesh was involved with them) I would guess that he has had a lot of experience with props, specifically prop guns. Anyone who handles a firearm, whether it’s for personal use, entertainment, law enforcement, hunting or as a prop in a film, knows that you always treat a gun as if it’s loaded. You always check the firearm as soon as it meets your hand to see if it’s loaded and if the ammo is live. You never rely on someone else to determine if it’s safe: you take responsibility for safety checks yourself. Even if it’s a toy gun, you never ever point a gun at anyone. If children can grasp these basic gun safety rules, it’s not obscene to expect an adult with as much experience as Alec to adhere to the same. So, why would he fail to check this particular time? Why would the gun have anything but dummy rounds in it if they were just rehearsing a scene? Why didn’t the 3-4 other adults that handled the gun notice that there was live ammo in it? What was he aiming at and why was he not aware of the background? Why was Hutchins directly in the line of fire? Who loaded a prop gun with real bullets? And the most important question: What reason would someone have to set up this scene and take the life of a cinematographer?
My gut thinks it has answers to some of these questions. Why would he fail to check the gun? Because he knew there were live rounds in it. That was the plan. Why would the gun have live ammo in it? Because dummy rounds don’t kill people. Live ammo does. Why didn’t anyone notice that the gun was loaded? They probably did, and it was on purpose. What was he aiming at? Her. Why was he not aware of the background? He was. Unfortunately, the director was in the wrong place at the wrong time because the background wasn’t Hutchins as she was the target. Who loaded the prop gun? That would be the prop master, right? The 24 year old that was on her third gig and giddy to work with a big name like Alec Baldwin and would do what she was told and shut up. And, lastly, why would someone want to kill Halyna Hutchins? Possibly because she was sticking her nose in things that people in high places don’t want discovered.
My conclusion, and my far-fetched (maybe?) conspiracy theory is that someone planned these events. Hutchins was going to expose some high ranking officials and Hollywood elites who were into something twisted, so they took care of her. And who better to stage an event and make it look like an accident than a seasoned actor? Isn’t that what actors do?
Currently, Baldwin is being sued by Hutchins family for wrongful death. Of course, he is. Who better than the LA attorney husband of a dead cinematographer to dig into the story that nobody wants told? And what’s his life expectancy before he gets silenced too?
This is how the brain of a conspiracy theorist works. From now on, these gut feelings are getting documented rather than blathering on to my friends and family. At least the computer screen can’t roll its eyes at me and call me nuts. And when they come true… I can prove I told you so.
