Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) has been a part of global news coverage for at least a year. The unexpected deaths of adults, including young athletes in their peak, are ignored by federal healthcare regulators, yet the funeral market is reacting to the “unexplained” phenomenon with record profits.
Alex Berenson, a former New York Times reporter, reported on Wednesday on the latest communication between Service Corporation International (SCI), the largest for-profit funeral operator in North America, and its investors. As it appears, “so far in 2022 the company has made almost $500 million in profits,” wrote Berenson, and, after the published phone call on that, SCI’s stock rose 10 percent.
Eric D. Tanzberger, the chief financial officer and senior vice president of the company, described the company’s performance in 2022 as “very strong,” according to the transcript of the call.
“That’s going to revert to cash outflows related to ICP payments across the entire company in February [of 2023],” he told the investors, adding, “That would be close to 2 times even the targeted ranges.”
Thomas L. Ryan, SCI’s chairman, president, and CEO, plainly said that the uptick in revenues happened at “unheard of” rates:
If you go back in this industry and particularly with SCI, year-to-year you would see the numbers of deaths — probably in one year you may be down 1% or 2%, in the next year you’re up 1% or 2% … you could predict [with] pretty good accuracy over a year and over a big footprint like ours what was probably going to happen…. 2020 comes along, COVID, game-changer, right. We’re having to do at one point of time 20% more funerals which is unheard of in a year versus, let’s say, a year or two before.
Mr. Ryan went on to note that the expectation was for the death rate in 2022 to stabilize at the level of 2019 or slightly exceed it, yet, in reality, “the third quarter of this year, we did 15% more calls than we did in the third quarter of 2019. That is not what anybody would have anticipated and that has just a very de minimis amount of COVID deaths in it.”
So, it looks like the funeral company was aware of the causes of death of their clients. Why were all these people dying at record rates? First the executive pointed to the “baby boomers,” born in the 1960s, “hitting their 80s” and dying.
Then, he said there were more car accidents, drug overdoses, suicides, murders, and cancers.
He also noted “the pandemic disruption” that impacted people’s “mental health or physical health,” and that “these trends are hard to reverse quickly,” adding to the “less healthy lifestyle” that people developed during the pandemic.
Berenson is not buying this:
These explanations are … strained, at best. Aging demographics are hardly new, and the lockdowns that drove a “less healthy lifestyle” ended as early as mid-2020 in most red states and by early 2021 almost everywhere. Opioids and overdoses generally remain a horrendous crisis, but deaths appear to have peaked in early 2022 and fallen slightly since. And for all the discussion of delays in medical care, hospitals and doctors offices have functioned essentially normally for at least 18 months.
There was no mention of mRNA vaccines, noted Berenson, who did not find that surprising.
Ed Dowd, a former BlackRock hedge-fund manager whose job was to look at quarterly numbers to pick winning investments, has been demonstrating the trend of excess mortality and disabilities using official data. (All charts below are from Dowd as presented on They Lied, People Died.)
Here is a graph based on U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data showing the excess mortality in millennials starting in March of 2020, which “coincided” with the rollout of Covid shots to the general public:
1Then, there’s this chart based on numbers from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics showing how the number of Americans with disabilities went up, up, up:
And here’s the chart based on numbers from insurance companies showing a tremendous uptick in insurance claims in 2021:
Speaking with The New American in June, Dowd said that the data clearly show that injuries and deaths due to the vaccines are piling up, and the rates are “disastrous.”
Other heavily vaccinated countries, such as those in Europe and the U.K., are seeing the same trend. Source
The problem is this: The zombified people who said “Yes” to the jabs without giving it a thought, are the same people who are on a steady diet of CNN, MSNBC et al.
Twitter users were stunned as video of Democratic U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman’s latest rally showed several American flags directly behind him get blown over by strong gusts of wind as soon as he began speaking.
Users wondered if it was an ominous sign for Fetterman’s performance on election day this year. Others called it the “perfect metaphor” for the Democrat’s campaign.
After Fetterman took the stage and uttered only few words at his latest Pennsylvania rally – days before the election between him and Republican candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz – when the flags standing directly behind him began to topple over under high winds.

The moment came as the candidate mentioned campaigning with former President Barack Obama, who was touring with Fetterman to boost his chances in the race.
As Fetterman compared former President Donald Trump to Obama, claiming that between the two, only Obama was “100% sedition-free,” at least six of the flags planted behind him toppled over in an instant.
Gobsmacked conservative Twitter users flooded the clip with comments, claiming it sums up Fetterman’s performance this election cycle.
Donald Trump Jr. called the scene “The perfect metaphor for Fetterman’s campaign.” The official RNC Research account sarcastically tweeted, “John Fetterman’s rally is off to a great start…”

Conservative journalist Ian Miles Cheong quipped, “Someone up there doesn’t like it when Fetterman tells lies.” Conservative actor Nick Searcy wrote, “The flags know he’s a moron. @JohnFetterman”
Radio host Michael Berry joked, “Everyone was blown over by his charisma.”

Researchers with the Food and Drug Administration concluded after an analysis of the agency’s data that there is an elevated risk of myocarditis in children as young as 12 after taking the Pfizer COVID-19 shot.
The researchers looked for safety signals requiring further investigation in their examination of the data from the FDA’s Biologics Effectiveness and Safety Initiative, the Epoch Times reported.
Targeting data for children aged 5 to 17 between 2021 and mid-2022, the preprint study found that myocarditis, a form of heart inflammation, and the related condition pericarditis met the threshold for a safety signal for children aged 12 to 17 after the second and third doses of the mRNA vaccine.
A safety signal isn’t proof that a vaccine caused an adverse event. The purpose is to prompt investigation of the cause and determine whether or not the risks of a vaccine outweigh the benefits.
The CDC has acknowledged myocarditis as a vaccine side effect but insists it’s rare. In August 2021, the CDC reported 42.6 cases of myocarditis or pericarditis per million males ages 12-15 after vaccination. However, in September, the CDC’s analysis of its own Vaccine Safety Datalink surveillance data showed the incidence of myocarditis after vaccination was three to five times higher for young men than what the agency was reporting in 2021.
The first prospective cohort study on the subject – by researchers in Thailand looking at 301 teens 13-18 – estimated an astonishing 23,000 cases per million.
Last month, a Swiss studyfound elevated levels of the protein troponin in all of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine recipients it analyzed, indicating the shots are routinely causing heart injury. Further, up to 1 in 27 of the vaccinated people in the study showed levels associated with subclinical myocarditis.
Denmark and Norway have recommended that people under 50 and under 65, respectively, not get a booster shot. And Sweden is no longer recommending them for ages 12 to 17.
A panel member, Dr. Eric Rubin, editor of the New England Journal of Medicine, famously said during the hearing, “We’re never going to learn about how safe the vaccine is unless we start giving it – that’s just the way it goes.”
In the new study, researchers analyzing the FDA data said they didn’t detect a signal for myocarditis or pericarditis for children aged 5 to 11. However, they said “the signal detected for myocarditis/pericarditis is consistent with published peer-reviewed publications demonstrating an elevated risk of myocarditis/pericarditis following mRNA vaccines, especially among younger males aged 12-29 years.” Source
So, where is the outrage? Are people just suffering in silence because they lost young loved ones to myocarditis or pericarditis after the toxic jabs were given?
Or are they coming together against these criminal Big Pharma creeps?
Are many families trying to muster up courage because they realize that there are family members who might die because they took the Jabs?
These are hard questions and I’m not sure if there are answers. We must look to God and pray without ceasing.
President Biden has yet to call Benjamin Netanyahu and congratulate him on his win in this week’s Israeli elections, even though interim Prime Minister Yair Lapid conceded defeat.
A National Security Council spokesperson told Fox News Digital that President Biden will speak with Netanyahu “soon,” but avoided outright naming Netanyahu the prime minister-elect – instead saying that “Mr. Netanyahu, after winning a plurality in the Knesset, is likely to be tasked with forming a government over the coming days.”
“The president has known and worked with Bibi Netanyahu for many years,” the spokesperson added. “They worked closely together when Netanyahu was prime minister last year, and they met again during the president’s visit to Israel in July.”
Secretary of State Antony Blinken this week called Lapid to “commend Israel for its free and fair elections, and to thank the prime minister for his partnership” as well as emphasize his concerns over the “heightened tensions” in the West Bank.
But it was only U.S. Ambassador to Israel Thomas Nides who so far has congratulated Netanyahu directly, saying Thursday that he had a “good call” with Netanyahu and that he looks forward to “working together to maintain the unbreakable bond.”

Biden and Blinken were swift to recognize Brazil’s President-elect Lula da Silva even though Jair Bolsonaro has yet to officially concede defeat, instead simply authorizing his chief of staff to begin the transition process – and Blinken on Friday called Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to discuss “joint efforts” to enhance Palestinian security and reaffirm the commitment to a two-state solution.
The disparity in reaction to each result sets an uneasy tone for the administration going into the new Netanyahu administration: A source familiar with internal discussions told Fox News Digital that top officials in the administration are reluctant to admit Netanyahu won the election.

Part of that reluctance may relate to unease working with far-right party leader Itamar Ben-Gvir, who stands poised to take on a prominent role in Netanyahu’s new administration.
Two officials told Axios this week that the Biden administration is “unlikely” to engage with Ben-Gvir, whom they labeled a “Jewish supremacist.” Ben-Gvir has said he wants to be minister of internal security, giving him charge over the police and policies around holy sites in Jerusalem.

Joel Rubin, a former deputy assistant secretary of state under President Barack Obama, recently told Fox News Digital that the “likely makeup” of the next Israeli government will present “some stark challenges for American national security.”
“The Biden administration will be challenged to navigate this space, which will require close coordination with Netanyahu himself, personally, as he attempts to manage a challenging governing coalition for Israeli-Arab relations,” Rubin said. Source
This brings back memories of the rude treatment of Bibi by Obama. But of course, Bibi still acted like the gentleman that he is.
