What’s goin’ on? 50 great soul music artists have died (suddenly?) in 2022

Guest Post by Mark Crispin Miller

Why is this not news, beyond one website? Why has (say) the New York Times not picked it up, to look into the CAUSE of all those deaths? We know why….

One thing (among many) that the COVID Crisis has made painfully clear is that black lives DON’T matter when those “vaccines” take them.

Hear, and heed, what Marvin Gaye sings in the first verse of his 1971 classic (scroll down for it).

Most likely just the clot shot doing it’s job. Nothing to see people, just move along.

Some years back when I was more actively looking into the Global Warming scam, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was asked to explain the reasoning behind their algorithm which seemed to consistently “adjust” measured temperatures (many of them from literally a hundred years ago) to show an apparent rising temperature. They never did explain how or why their software made the changes. All they said was that the algorithm was “working as designed”. Just doing its job. Just like the clot-shot.

Always liked the old joke about a bar that named a drink “The Marvin Gaye”.

Why? Two shots and you’re out cold.

Because they’re old and no one lives forever. Also, no one cared.
