🚨 Gene Hackman Was About to Expose Epstein's Pedophile List Before He Was Killed The news hit like a gut punch this week: Gene Hackman - the old-school Hollywood legend of The French Connection, Unforgiven, and Superman - gone. Found dead in his Santa Fe home alongside his wife... and one of their three dogs. Here’s what the media won’t tell you: Gene wasn’t just some retired millionaire kicking back in New Mexico. He was neighbors with Jeffrey Epstein. And he owned an island right next door to Oprah Winfrey’s private island in British Columbia. Cozy, right? But Gene wasn’t playing nice with the elite anymore. Word is, he was sick to death of the Epstein client list cover-up. He told friends he was done watching the Deep State and rogue FBI agents shred the truth. He was ready to talk - ready to burn it all down.show more

RIP & JUSTICE for GENE & BETSY!

🇺🇲 🍊Mighty Pachyderm🍊1 year ago

He was 95 years old. He was living out the rest of his days in peace. No one in their right mind believes he was going to be exposing anything, whether he wanted to or not...he was ninety freakin' five years old.

Hollywood is one giant "has-been"- and this is the nail in Hollywood's coffin... The jig is up now, the cat is out of the bag, and we all see clearly now what a nest of demons that Hollywood is...

My theory is that someone was in that house using a highly localized directed energy weapon. That may be why the coroner can't figure out what happened.

So saddened to learn that Gene Hackman passed away along with his wife, Betsy Arakawa, and their dog in Santa Fe, New Mexico. A veteran of the United States Marine Corps, Broadway actor, novelist, and two-time Academy Award winner, Gene Hackman will be remembered as one of the all-time greats. He starred in some of the most memorable movies of the past half century including THE FRENCH CONNECTION, THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE, THE CONVERSATION, SUPERMAN, HOOSIERS, NO WAY OUT, BAT 21, MISSISSIPPI BURNING, THE PACKAGE, UNFORGIVEN, THE FIRM, CRIMSON TIDE, THE REPLACEMENTS, and one of the most influential movies of my childhood, UNCOMMON VALOR. My deepest condolences to all who knew Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa and to the generations of film fans mourning the loss of a true legend. Rest in Peace. Gene Hackman January 30, 1930 – February 26, 2025

Gene Hackman almost rejected starring in Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven" (1992). His role in "Mississippi Burning" (1988) played a huge part in his initial reluctance to appear in "Unforgiven". Hackman acquired the 50% rights for Thomas Harris's novel- "The Silence of the Lambs", with Orion Pictures owning the other half despite the disappointment of Michael Mann's "Manhunter" (1986). Hackman was intrigued by the book & wanted to direct the picture. He was also mulling over the possibility of playing Hannibal Lecter. He said, "It's one of the most cinematic books I've ever read. As I read it, the movie was clicking in my mind." When Screenwriter Ted Tally was a third of the way through the script, he got the news that Hackman was off the project. Empire Magazine suggested this was in part due to "Mississippi Burning", (1988) which was considered a dark and v!o|ent film. Doing two grisly thrillers in a row may have been a risk to the upward trajectory Hackman's career was on, especially since his involvement wasn't just as a performer. Years later, a much simpler explanation was revealed to Deadline. "Daddy, you're not making this movie" Hackman's daughter reportedly told him after reading the book herself. Hackman relayed the story to his contact at Orion and was offered to be bought out of the rest of his half and thus the studio would own it outright. One version for the rejection stated that when Hackman was at the 1989 Oscars where he was nominated for Best Actor for his role in “Mississippi Burning”. Gene Hackman decided that he would no longer make v!o|ent films after seeing a brief, clip of his performance in this film (taken out of context, in his eyes). When Hackman was offered the part as the Sheriff in "Unforgiven" (1992), he was initially reluctant to accept it for the same reason. Screenwriter David Webb Peoples said, "Gene’s daughters didn’t like all the v!0lent movies he was doing. He was at a stage in his career where his family was more important than his work." However, Clint Eastwood explained to Hackman that while 'Unforgiven' was definitely a v!o|ent film, it didn’t glorify or glamourize it. Instead, it was used as the manifestation of humanity’s worst impulses and instincts. He then accepted the role. Hackman later said, "“I swore I would never be involved in a picture with this much v!o|ent in it, but the more I read it, the more I came to understand the purpose of the film, the more fascinated I became.” Gene Hackman gave one of his finest performances & went on to win an Oscar for it.

Gene Hackman was an extraordinary actor & craftsman, as he liked to be called. French Connection, Royal Tenenbaums, Superman, Unforgiven, The Conversation, etc. In the heyday of his stardom, the media gave him guff for not being movie star “attractive”.They blind. #RIPGeneHackman

GENE HACKMAN was behind the wheel for much of The French Connection's legendary car chase, hitting speeds up to 90mph. The moment he crashes into another car was real - a civilian drove in unexpectedly and Hackman ploughed into him.

While filming this crucial scene in "No Way Out" (1987), Kevin Costner had disagreement with the director on staging of the scene & how Gene Hackman's character reacts to Costner's character. Costner was pissed when things didn't go as he had hoped. When the director asked what Gene Hackman should do, Costner replied, "Gene can do whatever he wants, it's up to Gene what he wants to do." After the shoot for the day ended, Gene Hackman met Costner in the parking lot & asked if he could talk to him. Costner feared that Hackman was going to say, "if you ever do that to another f**ing director in front of me again, I'll ki!! you." Instead Hackman said, "I watched you today and I have been through a divorce and for three years, I've been doing a lot of shitty movies and I've been trying to pay for this divorce. I kind of didn't feel about acting the way I felt for a long time. I watched you today & [I remembered] I used to feel like that. I was really happy to see you do that." He then drove off. Costner considers this conversation with Gene Hackman an important moment in his life. ["Kevin Costner on Working with Gene Hackman | Conversations at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation", 2025]

TPUSA Donor Reveals Charlie Kirk Was Granted Access to Epstein Client List Before He Was Killed A powerful TPUSA donor has just gone on the record - and what they're saying changes everything. According to the whistleblower, Charlie Kirk wasn’t just asking for the Epstein client list - he was granted access to it. Insiders within the government, fed up with the cover-ups and sealed files, trusted him to reveal what no one else dared to touch.

Oversight Democrats say Howard Lutnick lied during his testimony on Epstein. Walkinshaw: What we heard was hours of testimony where Lutnick was attempting to redefine the meaning of the word “I.” He claims that when he said, “I would never be in a room again with Jeffrey Epstein,” he meant only him and Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein was so gross to him that he wasn’t willing to be in a room with him, but he was perfectly OK with his wife and family being in a room with Epstein. He’s lying. The American people deserve to see the sweat on his brow as he struggles to answer basic questions about his lies to the American people.

Rep. Subramanyam calls on Lutnick to resign. Subramanyam: He was evasive, nervous, dishonest. He says he was never in the room with Epstein again after the first time he met him, yet he then admitted he was in the room with Epstein. I had to ask him whether he and I were in the same room just now because I couldn’t understand his meaning of “in the same room.” He said he never met with Epstein again socially, yet he admits that was a social visit to his island. He was clearly being dishonest. He doesn’t remember why he went to Epstein’s island, but he somehow remembers going there after pictures surfaced of him being at the island. This is absurd, and he should resign.

EPSTEIN: Why won't the drive-by media ask Bill Clinton why he visited Jeffrey Epstein's island 28 times? Why won't they ask him about what he was doing there? Trump kicked Epstein out of his club when he learned about what he was up to and then reported him to the Florida AG.

.James Talarico: “QAnon was wrong about one big thing. They thought Donald Trump was the one to take down this secret pedophile ring when he is mentioned 38,000 times in the Epstein files. He flew repeatedly on Epstein's private jet and then lied about it. He sent Epstein a happy birthday card with a picture of a naked woman talking about their ‘wonderful secret.’ So the fact that QAnon thought that guy was going to take down the secret pedophile ring when he's right in the middle of it, I think was clearly wrong.”

After actor Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa were found deceased in their Santa Fe residence, authorities are now calling their deaths "suspicious." Originally the family believed the likely cause of death was a gas leak or carbon monoxide poisoning. However, a Santa Fe detective who sought a search warrant wrote in his affidavit, he believes "the death of the two deceased individuals to be suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation." Here's some of the suspicious findings: The front door of the residence was found open and unsecured. A deceased dog was laying 10-15 feet from Betsy Arakwa in a closet of the bathroom while a healthy dog was found roaming freely on the property. There was a heater that was moved. There was also a prescription pill bottle that was opened with pills scattered next to the female. Gene Hackman's body was located in a separate room of the residence. And there were no obvious signs of a gas leak. Very strange scene unfolding in Santa Fe.

Trump is in the Epstein files 38,000 times. He flew on Epstein’s private jet — and lied about it. He wrote to Epstein about their “wonderful secret.” QAnon thought Trump was going to take down the secret pedophile ring — but he's right in the middle of it.

That’s clearly why he was removed, but it sounds like he was picked because of his connection to Trump, and the only connection we’ve seen so far is in the Epstein files.

🚨🚨🚨🚨 IMPORTANT: one week after Jeffrey Epstein was arrested July 7, 2019, the FBI shut down the investigation. WHY????? This is William Sweeney. He was the head of the FBI field office when Epstein was arrested and I’m going back into my video of the SDNY press conference and he spoke eloquently about the victims and their primary purpose was to be there for the victims, and this was the number one case in the country and to please come forward.

Julius Erving talking about playing with Charles Barkley: “I kept seeing his upside. He was hard-headed. He had something to say about everything. If he didn’t play as good as he can and well as he was capable of playing or whatever, then some of the things he did wouldn’t be tolerated. But they were tolerated because, you know, he was exceptional, man. He could rebound it, take it coast to coast, make play. And for his height to rebound the way that he did, it was incredible. It was kind of disruptive because we had won the championship the year before he got there. Then the year that he got there. We had to make room for him and he almost killed Marc Iavaroni cuz he was playing the four, Charles was like that’s my spot right there. This going back to violence in the game because the next man up. Me and you man. He get Iavaroni at his back. He back him all the way out to the top of the key” (Via All the Smoke)
