Paul Reubens, Pee-wee Herman actor and comedian, dies at 70 after private cancer battle
July 31, 2023
Reubens' estate confirmed news of his death on his official Instagram page Monday. "Last night we said farewell to Paul Reubens, an iconic American actor, comedian, writer and producer whose beloved character Pee-wee Herman delighted generations of children and adults with his positivity, whimsy and belief in the importance of kindness," the announcement read. Reubens is best known as Pee-wee Herman, a fictional and comedic character Reubens developed in the 1970s that he premiered in stage shows for the Los Angeles improv troupe "The Groundlings." The man-child character was so popular he eventually nabbed an HBO special and later, a 1985 film with Tim Burton, "Pee-wee's Big Adventure," in which Reubens toned down the innuendo to make Pee-wee family-friendly. In 1986 CBS launched "Pee-wee's Playhouse," a Saturday morning children's program that ran until 1990. The character was revived after a long hiatus in 2010 for the stage show "The Pee-wee Herman Show," which ran in LA and on Broadway, and six years later by Netflix for the film "Pee-wee's Big Holiday," produced by Judd Apatow and co-starring Joe Manganiello.
Reubens was known for his commitment to the Pee-wee character, showing up as Pee-wee in interviews, live appearances and once hosting NBC's “Saturday Night Live.” He was nominated for 14 Emmy Awards over the course of his career and won twice. He also had an acting career outside of Pee-wee, appearing in films like "The Blues Brothers," "Blow" and "Life During Wartime" and on TV series including recent guest-starring roles on FX's "What We Do in the Shadows" and ABC's "The Conners."
No cause of death reported.

From our researcher:
It is stated that Reubens battled with cancer for the past six years. However, it should be noted that before lockdowns, during 2019-2020, Reubens did a huge "anniversary" tour all across the nation and his health was clearly good enough then to withstand the challenges of going on tour AND an exhausting show (his character was very animated, very physical, very energetic). Everyone in Hollywood got jabbed, some got lucky, others didn't.

One more jam, Brad. You start it.’ He nodded and played this great part and I started singing about him to him with the biggest smile on my face just having fun.” Brickell continued, “I was celebrating his generosity to stay and play one last song with me. But I never thought it would be our final song together. Our band’s very last jam was a playful song about Brad. I loved him. He taught me a lot.”

Disney Historian Jim Korkis Passes Away at 72
July 28, 2023
Internationally-respected Disney historian Jim Korkis has passed away at the age of 72 after suffering a series of serious medical issues. Korkis’ passing comes after a series of medical concerns that were uncovered after an accident in his home in February of this year.

Korkis also contracted COVID-19 while in recovery, and found that he had stage four inoperable colon cancer that had spread to his liver. To help aid with the medical and household bills that came while Korkis was unable to work, a GoFundMe was set up to alleviate those financial burdens. Korkis has written thousands of articles and dozens of books on Disney history, including “The Unofficial Walt Disney World 1971 Companion: Stories of How the World Began,” and “The Vault of Walt” series.

Brian Christopher Schneider, 53
July 22, 2023
Brian had a heart attack on the side of a mountain while hiking in Iceland with his son Tavi. They reached their goal to see the latest volcanic eruption. Below them was a field of new, black lava, steam rising off the field, plumes of red and orange lava exploding from the crater, and a blazing sunset. Tavi said it best, "He could not have picked a better place to die." He resisted entering this earth, putting his mother Laurie through more than two days of hard labor 53 years ago. He was the pure essence of a heart and mind in search of true peace. His kindness was of epic proportion. So much so that all in his family cannot recall a moment when he ever raised his voice in anger. He was a contractor by trade, owner of his own business. He worked at his pace...seeking perfection at his craft. He was also an artist, musician, writer, and inventor...creating something unique brought him great joy.

Reading through the obituaries I am reminded that numerous institutions "recommended" that young people with no risk to their health (merely the specter of "protection" for others - long since disproved) coerced so many into taking these injections. It is a crime on an unimaginable scale.
With each passing day more is revealed about these jabs. They offer NO benefit but LOTS of risks.
And the death toll continues to climb...
