Wow - surprising and sad news. Any idea of what he died of? Cause of death is not mentioned in the article. I'm assuming it was cancer of one kind or another, given his young age.

No Scorp. News only released yesterday. And BB9 mentioned it in Chatango. So I went,saw and posted. Very sad news indeed. Charlie was always the best thing about the "Doomcast" show, which i miss loads. I guess further Info will be released once his family feels it's time. I'm hating 2016 already...too much death all over

It was probably around 2 years ago I watched a YT video with Charlie giving a solo spiel critical of the mil, which he served in for a time (?) incl in Iraq. It was around 45 mins and I didn't expect to watch the whole thing, but it was sad & compelling enough that I watched to the end. He described the array of health, respiratory, nervous system, pain, etc problems he's had, and how useless the VA was in remedying them. He mentioned that he was out 6 figures paying for private care. It seems there was no end in sight to his afflictions.

I wouldn't know how to find that video again! I may have found it linked here at mami's or at rense?

Try Charlies You Tube Channel here:

Might be hiding amongst all of those vids.

@Zeetip - I had forgotten about his military service in Iraq. Most likely, his death was from complications associated with his stint there. The boots on the ground were exposed to Depleted Uranium, experimental vaccines and a host of other monstrosities.

@Zeetip- I saw that one too. I think this might be it:

RIP Charlie. Very sad to watch that video where he explained all of his health problems and about his criminally negligent exposure to toxic waste in the army. Young people take a lesson: the army doesn't care about you in the least.

I recently read some very disturbing information regarding an anti-malarial drug that is a Mefloquine (previously marketed in the United
States as Lariam [F Hoffmann-LaRoche Ltd, Basel,
Switzerland]) is a neurotoxic quinoline-derivative
originally developed by the US military for treatment
and prophylaxis of malaria. It is extremely bad medicine. Here is a link that tells a soldiers story and will give you an idea of how culpable the military is. This information needs to be spread far and wide. It should be distributed to every veteran possible.

Charlie was far too young. This is very sad. My condolences go out to his family and especially to his children.

Zeetip said...

Amanda, yeah that's the vid, 46 mins, ~2 years old. Thx... give it a watch, anyone who knows anyone who may be tempted by mil "service."

jerry said...

he was complaining about his exposure to the open burn pits. the va "health care" bunch screwed over him big time ... that was my understanding. he was warning the young away from serving in the military.

I shared the above information because when I listened to the beginning of the video, I though Charlie mentioned malaria drugs. This didn't apply in his case, seems the vaccines and burning of human waste played a big part in his respiratory illness.

I stand by the link, it is important for vets that have been in theater more recently. This drug causes PTSD to be more severe and the men have frightening hallucinations. It is a very sobering look at how our boys are disregarded by their commanding officers. This link is directly from the military. Any parents out there that have kids that are considering the military, please read this and have them read it. The salary and possible education benefit is not worth the loss of life or sanity.

Chris said...

So was the fatal nature of his illness brought on suddenly? Had it for a long time? In his videos he appeared healthy-no coughing or sniffling, etc. is anyone investigating this as foul play?

foon1e said...

It's obvious that Charlie himself didn't think he'd die the day after this recording: - https://youtu.be/wDVvtnLQkcc

If you watch closely, there's definitely something up with his eyes - watering throughout the Video. But his ability to speak and his lucidity of thought is also clear. The rumour of his death being related to a sinus problem isn't apparent here. So until we get a proper report from his family as to the results of any autopsy? It's all supposition. Still all intensely sad.

Chilling. It's as if he sensed his own end and projected it outward.

i was pretty active in this movement from 07 thru 12...today i thought id check back in and was shocked with the news of Charlie's death. It was folks on youtube in those early years that helped awaken millions. Charlie , Supafaith, early visionvictory, Warren Pollock, and feverIam gave us so much in those early years...Charlie carried the torch longer than everyone. Peace to you my friend. Thank you for all you did.

I have his death certificate and it says the attending doctor ruled it a suicide with a gunshot to the head(not that I necessarily believe it as the actualality.
