๐๐ต๐ฟ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ป๐ฒ๐น๐น and ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐๐ผ๐ป... did they fund and agree to participate in a documentary called, "The Silent Children"? Were they offed because of some agreement to this production?
Let's explore what we know..
So let's get into what got us here. There was a narrative that went VIRAL on social media.
The theory espoused that Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington were involved in funding and backing an up-and-coming documentary on child sex trafficking, called "THE SILENT CHILDREN".
What was the source for this theory? A single tweet.
๐ง๐ต๐ฎ๐โ๐ ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐. ๐. ๐ฆ๐๐ก๐๐๐. ๐ง๐ช๐๐๐ง. It came from an account called An Open Secret. This is what the tweet claimed:
Many people were curious for the source of this information, so they asked:
An Open Secret actually posted this the same day of their initial tweet, along with two out of twelve pages of a movie manuscript (?) document.
Close up of the documents, for your reading eyes:
(Notice how they spelled "Lincoln Park" ...it's "๐๐ถ๐ป๐ธ๐ถ๐ป Park")
Well. I don't know about ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช, but ๐ง๐๐๐ฆ isn't sufficient enough for me: A single tweet, and two out of twelve pages of a movie description?
I mean... you tell me? Is this enough for you? One tweet and a partial document?... So...
... So I decided to ask Gabe Hoffman, the supposed owner of that account, An Open Secret, for a more complete document. He stated that he received it in strict confidence, and wouldn't release its entirety.
I then asked for some financial documentation.. no response.
So. Why trust this theory?
Not even a theory, a singular tweet that went VIRAL. Perhaps it filled our curious void when it came to Chris and Chester? Their deaths were so sudden and mysterious... but this route will get us no where.
So we need to look elsewhere..
We'll start with Paul Myhill, The founder of Traffic Jam, and the entity responsible for the documentary, "The Silent Children".
Looking into their non profit information, I found that Traffic Jam actually auto-revoked via the IRS for failure to file in 3 consecutive years IN 2016... keep reading...
Let's take a look at IMDB for The Silent Children:
One of the key production companies, JellyBeane Productions was owned by Lisa Beane, Leroi Moore (Saxophonist from Dave Mathews Band) his fiancรฉ. Note that Leroi Moore died in 2008.
Noted that "The Silent Children" was set to debut in ๐๐๐๐, I find it curious that JellyBeane Productions cancelled their corporation in January of ๐๐๐๐. The first death, Chris Cornell, was ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐, ๐๐๐๐. What happened between debut year 2013 and 2017?
In comes some corroborative events to fill in some blanks. @LouderThanLove7 (Total Disclosure, Alessandro) outreached to Paul Myhill (founder of Traffic Jam, behind the documentary) about the funding/financial backing of "The Silent Children", this was Paul's response:
As an added context, Paul and Alessandro had another exchange via email, about some concerning matters speculated about Paul's tattoo in a now-deleted post (Total Disclosure), where Paul addresses some also additional information about the life-span of the "The Silent Children".
So lets recap a bit:
โขThe Silent Children supposed to debut in 2013 (per IMDB)
โขPaul Myhill emails correspondence that the docu never got fully funded
โขPaul's org was dissolved in 2016
โขJellyBeane Productions dissolves in January 2017
โขChris Cornell passes in May 2017
Ok. Now that we have some timelines and detail in place.... lets now face the internet...
**deep breath....exhale**
How did it go from one single tweet about Chris and Chester, to the latter two gentlemen? After Chris's death (2017), then the project got cancelled? where did this come from???? <refer two tweets back for timelines>
How How How How How How How How How How How How How How How How How How How How How How HOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW??????
Leroi Moore dying in 2008, The Silent Children planning [but failing] to debut in 2013 (thats 5 years). Between Traffic Jam (Paul Myhill's organization) revoked as a non-profit for failing to file their 990 for 3 consecutive years back in 2016.. (cont.)
...JellyBeane Productions dissolving their corporation in January of 2017, Chris Cornell died May 18, 2017 would this make sense that he would be funding a documentary at a time within the dissolving of these said entities? When exactly did the financial backing from Chris come?
This is the first thread I need you all to understand first ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ we go into Chris and Chester's devoted philanthropic ventures.
I need you to really consider what you've believed all these years and weigh in that it may have not been the best avenue of information.
This is the tweet that got me blocked by An Open Secret
Let me also add, that I ๐ฑ๐ผ ๐ป๐ผ๐ believe the mainstream mediaโs self deletion narrative for Chris and Chesterโhowever, what we just overviewed is better start and understanding than flippantly repeating a theory we canโt prove.
Chris and Chesterโs deaths were already surrounded by weird and questionable details to begin with. This โtheoryโ only muddys the water for us all.
Standby for more.
Another theory that has ๐ก๐ข ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ง:
โSome medium channeled Chris and/or Chester and alluded to ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ด or ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต, and then ๐๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฐ ๐ง๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐2 is somehow implicated.โ
๐ก๐ข. ๐๐ฌ๐.
