After my friend Duncan had turned off his recorder, an Exchange Club member asked me about Richard Hirschman and the “embalmers clots.” Several members were still hanging around when I answered by saying, yes, the world’s most famous/infamous whistleblowing embalmer lives just 30 miles south of us in Ozark, Alabama.

In fact, Richard, a “trade embalmer,” performs embalming services for one of Troy’s funeral homes. This Exchange Club member knew of this topic - and about Richard - because she is one of the few local residents who subscribes to my “national” Substack newsletter. She agrees with me that if the “embalmers’ clots” non-scandal somehow went viral or “mainstream,” this might be enough to stop all future Covid shots and boosters.

It’s interesting to me that a person who has potentially seismic news has a Troy, Alabama or local connection … and, still, probably 99 percent of local residents have never heard of the existence of the “embalmers’ clots” or know who Richard Hirschman is.

Bill - nice to actually hear your voice. 🥰

Since I’m a sub on your new stack, I’ll try very hard (🤣) not to post a comment linking my stack with pics from Richard of the clots he pulls from the people he embalms. Probably won’t bode well with your “normie” subs. 😂

One day in the not so distant future, EVERYONE will know who Richard Hirschman is. And subsequently Tom Haviland. 🙏🙏❤️

Richard spoke at a meeting for our group, Focus on America, in November, 2022.

The meeting recording is below. We had 2 guest speakers that evening, Richard and Dr. Triantos. Richard appears at around the one hour mark. He also spoke at our PUP Event in September 2023. He is a brave man.

I lived in Dothan until 1999 so recognized those towns. I was also friends with JB Beasley and her family. They were my other family working at FUMC in Dothan with her and her sisters.

I'm sure some readers will make the contrarian point that they believe no "novel virus" ever existed and that the entire pandemic was a scam largely caused by the dubious use of the dubious PCR tests.

I've always been open-minded to this possibility, which, if true, would constitute an even more mind-boggling scandal.

For now, though - based on my own research (and too many reasons to document in a short post) - I'm inclined to think a novel virus was circulating. It just wasn't overly or uniquely "deadly."

Still, both scenarios would constitute massive (unreported) scandals ... and both agree that the alleged "Covid deaths" must have been caused by iatrogenic and medical protocol factors.

The most epic foundational mind boggling scandal follows with the understanding that so far there’s no proof that any virus has ever existed. The history of virology is one of disregard for the scientific method, so properly it’s not a science but a pseudoscience. Take the virus away and now contagion makes no sense and immunity makes no sense and guess what? - vaccines make no sense. Oops.

Pharma and power and prestige need the virus, so there’s that. It’s pretty inconvenient for them to let talk get around that challenges the foundation of their empires.

If the mere idea of “no virus” is uncomfortable, I invite you to look at the work of the Dr. Sam Bailey here on Substack for a gentle and thorough introduction.

As a local reporter for decades, I have covered countless civic club meetings (to get an easy story from the speakers' comments). At different times, I've also been a Rotarian and was once president of The Troy Civitan Club, which no longer exists.

As a guest, I've attended several meetings of the Troy Exchange Club, which is one of our town's most important civic club groups. At my meeting last week, I think there were only 15 or so people in attendance, while this group used to routinely have at least 40 members at such meetings.

My observation is that civic clubs in America are dying - probably as an "inflation work-around" as more people and businesses are trying to save on the monthly dues. This is a sad trend as these groups do important local work and allow great networking opportunities and create the possibility of forming new friendships. Plus, they often invite interesting speakers who share important news or observations with club members.

Coincidentally, a local group I've been planning to join that held monthly meetings with a speaker at a restaurant just announced that for 2025 it's going to Zoom. I thought, dang. It's tough to socialize on Zoom. Gives me a headache. I do not know the particulars behind their decision to go to Zoom, but I suspect that a number of members may have found themselves struggling to pay for a restaurant lunch (it's place where a meal with tax and tip could run from 25 - 30 dollars). Also, possibly, some members may have developed some challenging health issues that would make coming into a restaurant problematic. Just guessing.

The nice thing about the restaurant was that it had a private room perfect for a speaker, book signings, etc., and the food there was good. I could easily fill up my entire life with Zoom meetings, what a bore.

Potluck is an option for some, but suffice to say, not this group.

The decline of membership in civic clubs is a good future story for my national or local Substack. I think "real inflation" is the driver of many sad national trends, including this one.

Also, local newspapers don't have the staffers they used to have to cover the speakers at these meetings (or, indeed, City Council meetings, school board meetings, or athletic press conferences. Many sports programs are crying out for more local coverage, which they no longer get).

In my own city the newspaper of record is offering nothing but "if-it-bleeds-it-leads" and such twisted crap they couldn't pay me to read it, however, I would gladly pay for reporting on civic issues with at least a gesture towards professional objectivity. I'd also be happy to pay for local interest stories. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.

Most small town newspapers are owned by TPTB, like USA Today. My mom's paper in Redding CA is one of those. Letters to the editor and the Op-Ed used to represent the community the paper served, now it serves to represent the narrative.

I think another reason is that millenials and younger are invested not as much as we 45 and older in helping the community at least that is what I see around me. It is like so many larger major denominational churches. I work in one and have for 40 plus years. Look around them. Mostly what you see are "q-tips." Millenials and under don't get involved on committees, music ministry or missions as much as those 45 and up. Their parents having them worship at the altar of sports is coming home to roost in a real way. I've always said I wish I had been born 10 years earlier because during my time in ministry I've watched this cultural shift as sports took over the family schedule and divorce wreaked havoc on that schedule as children became required to divide their time between households (and don't get me started on public (and many private) schools.)

SS is full of misdirection. Why is it that 99% of alt-media followers are totally unaware of the massive increase in US deaths in 2020 of 19%--6 times higher than the highest previous increase of 3%? The mortality data points to the possibility of intentional mass-murder like a beacon--so why is it 99% of alt-media followers know nothing about that?

https://www.statista.com/statistics/189670/death-rates-for-all-causes-in-the-us-since-1950/

Gets me 17% which is in the same ballpark.

We can't simply attribute these deaths to virus though, since the covid cabal nuked the economy, destroyed countless lives and businesses, sent people stir-crazy from home incarceration, and killed millions via medical malpractice.

We know enough about the engineering that went into the virus to know that it's very nasty, with potential for long-term neurological damage, cardiac damage and prion disease.

The "it's just a flu bro" crowd was on the right side of the induced panic, insofar as the acute IFR was apparently quite low (Diamond Princess). But we're just now starting to confirm the long term harms and fatality of the Sars-CoV-2 virus.

I'll keep the data on 2020 that I collected in 2021 which contradicts what you present in 2024. That vast excess death in 2020? Didn't happen in 2020. I was there. I was paying attention.

Virginia Stoner's avatar

The official data from mid-March 2020 thru mid-September is confirmed, since the number of deaths was published in the Johns Hopkins retracted paper psy-op in November 2020 (see the first section called "Early fake death propaganda" at the attached link.

The problem with every private source of mortality data is that it is rarely current--it is updated in the official database daily, but may only be updated periodically on other website. This data takes about 2 years to be finalized. The 2% different you referenced is probably due to delay since the number is close.

One of my longest stories was about people who emailed me "early spread anecdotes" after Citizen Free Press picked up one of my "early spread stories." I got about 110 emails (and published every one of them, many of which were very interesting).

One of those people said he was returning to America from Asia on a Chinese commercial airplane around this same time. He said the flight attendants were wearing full protective gear and every time someone used the plane rest room, the flight attendants went into the bathroom and did a professional de-sanitizing job on the facilities. This went of for 10 hours on the flight.

His conclusion was the same as yours: People who worked for this Chinese airline already KNEW some virus was spreading.

That "reader anecdote" story with responses from Citizen Free Press readers is interesting to me. If memory serves, that CFP story generated about 30,000 "page views" for my Substack. Of these 30,000 readers, 110 later contacted me with their own "early spread" stories. Everybody thought they or a family member had already had Covid by late February 2020.

However, what stood out to me is that eight of these correspondents reported that they'd also later tested positive for Covid antibodies. That is, these people not only report having Covid symptoms but received a diagnostic test that seemingly proved they'd already been exposed to the virus.

So eight of 30,000 readers had such "antibody evidence." This caused me to wonder how many people would have said they had antibody evidence if, say, 200 million people had read that story?

And most of my respondents never got a later antibody test. Many who didn't receive antibody tests told me they'd never contracted Covid after they were sick in late 2019 or early 2020 - which suggests they had developed natural immunity.

Anyway, it pays to read all of these reader comments. I wish more people who "matter" had read that story.

Yes, when you brought up that idea I'd really spread a while back, it made me think of one of my daughters being sick. I happened to have gone by her house and she was walking around wrapped in a blanket and carrying kleenex with her, saying "I don't know wtf this is! " . That was in 2019.

Many died from hospital protocols.

My former neighbor,in his early 60's, was hospitalized for covid pneumonia. They tried to get him on a ventilator many times but he refused. They tried three times to get his wife to sign a DNR. They would not give him ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine. He was dying. Getting worse daily. Got blood clots. A friend of mine gave the wife some horse Ivermectin. The wife contacted a Frontline Nurse who helped with Dosage. The wife put the Ivermectin on biscuits which she secretly gave to her husband. He started getting better and they were able to move him to a rehab center for recovery. When he later saw the hospital doctor, the doctor told him it was good he didn't go on the ventilator...he'd probably be dead. This is the same doctor who tried to get him on the ventilator. Ugh!

I bet it was 80-90%. No kidding. Remember when McCullough ( I think?) wrote, “ if people were dying like crazy, you wouldn’t see them only die in hospitals.” That’s true, they would die all over. Not the “ sudden & unexpected” deaths. That’s from the fake shots. 🙈 It’s still so sad.

In April 2020, I worked from home for 9 days and would watch the Andrew Cuomo press briefings on CNN. He said 90% of the people being put on ventilators died. And he gave an avg time spent on ventilator, but I think it was >20 days which sounds wrong.

I just am appalled. We were talking to a friend from Zimbabwe and he wanted to move to Australia in 2020 or so. His dad told him to just go stay there for 3 months with friends then decide. So he did. He came home and never moved there. He said the laws were ridiculous.. He said there is a bureau that, if you want to get a dog, these people come to your house and see if you are fit for a dog and how big of a dog you can have, based on house size. And all your neighbors have to sign off on you having a pet and can turn you in at any time. Maybe this was in a big city? Are these kind of rules and regs true?

No ma'am I have never heard of these laws in Australia, and I live in a woke urban area with literal communists on local council (which falls under state government).

The dog laws are very lax, and it is extremely difficult to prosecute for animal cruelty let alone nuisance barking even in urban areas.

ExcessDeathsAU's avatar

That's a great question. I am not sure if I can really answer but we are definitely not communist overall despite the localised presence. We are sort of in an anarcho-fascist-tyranny. Our social compact has broken down and tyranny is being applied heavily but unequally. The very rich are still doing very well with huge amounts of immigration that is deliberately collapsing the country. They do not have to live with the consequences of their actions (at least...not yet).

Excellent post! As someone who lost a best man and an uncle during that moronic time, I also think that if the U.S. government had issued a course of doses of IVM and HCQ when bioweapon became apparent, if production of those truly safe and effective repurposed meds had been given to all citizens via Warp Speed, we would’ve had the same outcome as the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh: It would’ve stopped it in its tracks. But I agree with you that remdesivir (run death is near) has a 50% kill rate, and vents have a 45%+ kill rate. So hardly nobody truly died of COVID.

Re "Deaths from ventilators, from prescriptions of the “toxic” drug remdesivir, from withholding antibiotics, from dehydration and the administration of powerful sedatives and from isolation in hospitals, as well as deaths from unnecessary panic must account for/explain the vast majority of “Covid deaths,” per my contrarian hypothesis."

This hypothesis is not consistent with US mortality data, and cannot explain excess US deaths--it is simply impossible for these things to combine to cause 50k excess deaths in 25 adjacent counties over 8 weekss, while leaving most areas of the US unaffected, then disappear, only to reappear in several subsequent localized death surges elsewhere in the US. I explain the reasons in more detail at this link. Nor could a virus be responsible. Therefore, we are looking for another cause of excess deaths, as yet unidentified. https://www.virginiastoner.com/writing/2024/7/28/researchers-discover-reason-for-31-million-excess-deaths-worldwide-mistakes-were-made-l2any-j8egn

Bill, thanks for posting this. I listened to the entire thing & it’s pretty motivating. In Seattle, most of my friends & family don’t know Substack either. I’m always surprised because it’s become such a large part of my days. I haven’t started writing my own posts regularly but it might be time to? It felt, for awhile, that EVERYONE was creating their own here, and at first i was annoyed. 😂 I just wanted to read and learn, and man, have I learned a lot in 4 years! But, when you threw the numbers out, and there still are so many unaware of Substack, there’s clearly room for everyone.

The newspapers here in Seattle are exactly how you described. Smaller & smaller all the time, with little local history or community feel.

I may, someday, put together something local, to share the experiences & histories that are passing so quickly. At least until they take our Internet away. See? I could never promise NOT to be “ controversial”, good for you. I’ve been banned from Nextdoor, but not Facebook yet.
