Blayne was not much for large crowds, being in front of a camera or center of attention, but if he let you into his world, you would understand why so many wanted to be called his friend. Blayne was a jack of all trades but for the last 20 years being a mechanic was his expertise. Blayne is no longer in pain and has been made whole again for eternity.

Villalpando "died suddenly" from a turbo cancer. From a reader:
I worked with this lady (only 56) and she died of an aggressive leukemia that took a very short time to kill her. I believe she was diagnosed and died within a month or less. I realize there might not be any way to verify this since her obituary doesn't list sudden cancer or anything like that. There are so many more than are even in the obituaries (which don't list "sudden" or "unexpected".... thank you for your work).
We work for the local government and pretty much everyone is ["vaccinated"], besides me and a few minority holds outs I imagine (no one will admit that to each other though - it is abhorrent to be unvaxxed in that crowd). There was no mandate, thank God. So unfortunately I can't validate it for sure. I will tell you this is the second case of a turbo cancer I've witnessed at work. This is too far in the past, but another guy I worked with at a different building got a turbo cancer and suddenly died after just being diagnosed for a month or two at most. He was also in his mid 50s. That was in late 2021, or early 2022, and he was definitely vaxxed. I heard him tell someone.

Thank you MCM and team for your consistent reporting. I am left again, without words after reading of this weeks deaths. So many, so young, so unbelievably tragic. The collective heartbreak of those they have left is sobering. Husbands, wives, children, life long friends, left to grieve and grapple with these sudden and unexpected deaths. As we watch with horror more and more are toppling over dead every day. How much longer before the normies truly awaken? Will it just be us and the satanists in the end?
Former colleague of mine. Physically fit, 51 years old. Had pain in his back a month or two ago. Had surgery. Discovered cancer of the spine. Due to sepsis in his body (lots of sepsis going around, must be contagious), could not begin chemo. Died this morning. Great guy, it's heartbreaking. I don't know his vaccinations status, but because he was a federal employee, I'm guessing vaxxed. I hope his wife requests a pathology of his cancer tissues.
