💉To follow up on Jeff’s point “Finally, sometimes a little truth breaks out in the most unexpected places,” the militarydotcom newsletter I receive daily had this headline today: “Retired Marine General Found Dead at Twentynine Palms Died of Natural Causes, Autopsy Shows,” HOWEVER, it went on to report these pieces of info:

•After not checking out of his room at the hotel’s usual time, 11am, staff entered and found him. Paramedics were called to the scene, no resuscitation efforts were made, and having been on base for a CoC Ceremony the day before, he was pronounced dead at the scene, 1:39pm on June 29th.

•“The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department coroner, found that a blood clot, also known as a deep vein thrombosis, in Mullen's left leg dislodged and traveled to his lungs, blocking the left and right sides of his pulmonary arteries, a condition also known as a pulmonary embolism.”

• “The report, which included a document titled "coroner investigation," noted that Mullen's bags were packed and organized "as if he was leaving the premises."”

• “The autopsy noted that Mullen did not have a diagnosed medical history, but had been to a doctor prior to his death due to "some lung issues" and a bad cough, the report said, citing his next of kin. The doctor cleared him but prescribed an inhaler after "he had been unable to breathe properly," the autopsy said.”

It was nicknamed the clot shot within weeks of being introduced. If I, a no one from Missouri, knew that, the powers that be knew it too.

This is so sad. We were told many would die 3-5 years. We are at 3.5 years now. Four of my son's classmates with whom he graduated now have no father. All died in the past 3 years and were late 40's-early 50's. He had about 250 in his graduating class. Three HA and 1 from cancer within 4 days of diagnosis.

Natural causes just means not murder, not suicide, and not accidental (like drowning).
