Robbie Robertson, leader of The Band and film composer, dies at 80
August 9, 2023
Robbie Robertson, the legendary Canadian musician best known as the former leader of The Band and a frequent collaborator of Martin Scorsese, has died. He was 80. Robertson died Wednesday morning after battling a long illness, EW can confirm. He had recently completed his work as a composer on the upcoming Killers of the Flower Moon with Scorsese. Paying tribute to his longtime collaborator in a statement, Scorsese dubbed Robertson "one of my closest friends, a constant in my life and my work." He added, "I could always go to him as a confidante. A collaborator. An advisor. I tried to be the same for him. Long before we ever met, his music played a central role in my life — me and millions and millions of other people all over this world. The Band's music, and Robbie's own later solo music, seemed to come from the deepest place at the heart of this continent, its traditions and tragedies and joys. It goes without saying that he was a giant, that his effect on the art form was profound and lasting," the filmmaker continued. "There's never enough time with anyone you love. And I loved Robbie."
No cause of death reported.
Robertson was diagnosed with prostate cancer a year ago:

An experienced hiker’s journey to honor his father came to an unexpected but poignant end
August 13, 2023
James “Jimmy” Hendricks set out across the American West, bearing the ashes of his late father, in a journey nearly five years in the making. Hendricks, 66, inherited a love for nature from his father, which inspired what he called “Travels with Neil: A Final Journey with My Father.” He began the trip at the Caverns of Sonora in Texas and intended to stop at special places along the way to Mount Rose in Nevada. It was a place his father used to visit before his death in 2018, and it was there he planned to spread the ashes. Hendricks woke up at the Moab Red Stone Inn extra early for a day of hiking and photography at Arches National Park. Security footage shows him staggering into his van looking dizzy and weak around 6:30 a.m., Brough said. Hendricks’ body was found inside a Utah national park on Aug. 1 after being reported overdue, with an empty water bottle close to his side, according to a news release from the National Park Service. “He just didn’t have enough water on him when he was hiking, and even if he had, he might not have been able to survive,” Brough said. “He’d done extensive hiking and camping already at beautiful places between Austin, Texas, and Moab, Utah. So, he was more compromised than he realized.” Investigators have not released an official cause of death, which could take up to 12 weeks to determine, his sister Ila Hendricks told CNN. The Hendricks family plans to have a memorial once they are reunited with the ashes of their brother and father.

Spokane firefighters retrieve maintenance work who suffered cardiac arrest on roof of building
August 12, 2023
Spokane, Wash. — Spokane firefighters lowered and performed lifesaving measures for a unconscious maintenance worker on a roof of a building last week, who died to his injuries. Two weeks ago, Spokane firefighters responded to a call at a local manufacturing business for a report of an unconscious maintenance worker on the roof of their facility. As crews arrived, workers on the roof were performing CPR and said that the worker went into cardiac arrest. Firefighters made their way up onto the roof and began their treatment. As they were up there, they decided that the safest way to continue treatment would be on the ground. Crews were able to use a high-angle rope system to load and secure the patient into a stokes basket. They were then lowered by an aerial ladder truck. On the ground, the patient was transported into an ambulance on scene and taken to the hospital. Although firefighters were able to retrieve a heartbeat while on scene, the patient died as he was transported to the hospital.

I don't mean to sound heartless because reading these BREAKS my heart - but it seems like people are dropping like flies. And NO ONE is noticing? For the life of me, I cannot comprehend this.
If they don't get us with the kill shot, they'll get us with a directed energy weapon, like they did in Maui. I know about directed energy weapons... they're all around me, where I live and I have a device that measure radiation and it's been off the charts in my apartment. And I always feel headache and nausea. MOVE MOVE MOVE! I know I know I know... and I'm working on that... and I'll move to a rural community and be hosed by a directed energy weapon out of the sky... there's no where to run now... now that they come from out of the sky...
