Hunter Palmer was among the flagships of Wisner-Pilger High School, an institute in Nebraska where he was achieving excellent results in various sports, distinguishing himself above all in American football, his greatest passion that he was cultivating from an early age, playing as running back. But he was also a good basketball player and also distinguished himself in athletics, in sprint races. The day before his death, Palmer was fine and hadn't accused any malaise, on the contrary: he had competed very well in a school event and managed to outdo himself, conquering his personal high jump, winning. He had then also participated in a relay, finishing second with his team. Then, within 24 hours, the inexplicable tragedy.

So many fast-onset cancers in relatively young and very young people… shocking and sickening to behold the tragedies unfolding all around us. We know four dead of cancers since October of 2021…. How can that be, we wondered? Four? What are the odds? And several strokes and heart attacks in multiple others in our wide circle of people we know…
Thank you team NFU for your service to humanity. What can one say? I have no words at the moment, only prayers for those who have been murdered. A deluge of death for those with eyes to see.
