Two Irish Athletes Die Suddenly After Marathons: Pay Superficial Tributes But Don’t Ask Why

Instead of demanding answers about the pandemic of sudden deaths among young Irish people, the new template for journalists is to normalise them and silence anyone who goes beyond the bogus tributes

Two Irish marathon runners dead within days of each other. We need to know why

In recent days, two 24-year-old runners have died suddenly while competing in marathons. The young women, Ellen Cassidy from Cork, and Olivia Tuohy from Clare, were obviously at peak fitness but took ill during their respective races in Cork city and Edinburgh. Ellen, a champion swimmer, became unwell at the finish line and was pronounced dead shortly afterwards. Olivia, a keen footballer, collapsed and died during her race.

Needless to say, the media reported on the women’s deaths according to the new template: ask no questions about the cause, just fill in the blanks with obsequious tributes about how wonderful they were and loved by all. It’s not their job to do that; that’s for their family and friends. But it’s a clever way of conditioning the public, by feeding into their emotions with sentimental guff and numbing their intellect which might dare to ponder ‘why?’

Notice the new formula for headlines about sudden deaths: they almost always begin now with the words ‘Tributes paid…’. ‘Tributes paid to young footballer who died during match’. That is not the story and should not be the headline. Who cares whether tributes were paid to him or not? The actual story is that a young footballer died during a match and that is a very unusual occurrence. The first question on everyone’s lips, and rightly so, is what happened to him, not whether tributes were paid. But this is all part of the desensitisation process to discourage enquiries regarding the cause of death as if they are almost irrelevant and taboo.

Clichéd ‘Tributes Paid’ - nobody cares. We need to know exactly why and that is the role of the media

This has been the tactic since the rollout of the deadly shot which the media hawked night and day because they are funded by Big Pharma. Their role is to whip up a frenzy of mawkish emotion about the brilliance and popularity of the deceased, and in doing so create an environment where it becomes unsafe for more tuned-in observers to ask the only question that matters: how did they actually die? Answering that question is the only function of the media in such matters. It’s not their job to spew out superficial eulogies but to get to the bottom of exactly how and why, and inform the public about the detail they uncover so that we can stop it from happening again.

I’ve spent the last four years covering the plague of sudden death among young people in Ireland and have been severely punished for it, including being subjected to an unlawful arrest for publishing a picture of a deceased young adult who died in highly suspicious circumstances. Who could have thought Ireland would come to that? But the regime will deploy any depraved measure to conceal the truth from the public and deflect blame away from themselves.

Day in, day out, young faces appear on the pages of RIP.ie, wiped out in their prime but nobody is allowed to ask why. The most chilling aspect of all of this, apart from the fact of their deaths, has been the media’s role in the cover-up. They have only one legitimate purpose in reporting these deaths - there is only one reason the deaths are newsworthy: it is that young and seemingly healthy people do not - as a rule - drop dead and when this becomes a trend, we, as reporters, have to go wherever it takes to find out why because clearly something is not right.

Every journalist in Ireland knows this to be the case. That is what they always did prior to the Covid scam. When the media used to do their job, whole teams of reporters would be commissioned to cover the sudden death of a young person because it was such a rare event, and pages of newsprint would be dedicated to it over a period of days. No stone would be left unturned in finding out what happened. I speak from experience because that is what I did as a reporter with The Irish Independent for almost 20 years.

It’s our job to ask hard questions on behalf of the public who have a right to know. Death is not a private business, as the government and their media pussies would now have you believe. It is very much a public matter: that is why suspicious death was once treated with the utmost gravity by the authorities and the courts, the same bodies who now threaten to imprison you for asking questions.

There is nothing lurid or intrusive about this long-standing function of the media and it is not intended to cause any offence to grieving families nor should it. The reason we probe untimely deaths is to eliminate any cause that could be attributed to a powerful entity like the HSE and their pharma products for example in order to protect the public and stop others from being harmed in the same way. When it comes to young athletes, it is perfectly reasonable to ask if the vaccine may have played a part because many sports clubs forced it on on their members, knowing it increased the likelihood of myocarditis and stroke. Covid-vaccinated youngsters who put their hearts under pressure during intense exercise are more susceptible to sudden death. Or perhaps a young person has died at the hands of a family member or an influential person in the community like a guard or drug dealer who is being protected in a climate of fear.

It’s sad that this vital function of the media has to be spelt out in this way but Irish people no longer have any notion about the role of journalists: they believe they are government spokesmen, which is clearly what they have become, working against the public interest. The people don’t understand that the media are supposed to be the enemy of the powerful, and a strong buffer to defend and protect the public when the powerful get out of control, as they inevitably do.

This new mood of silence and fear around sudden deaths is in itself deadly for society because it means people start to turn a blind eye and become apathetic when they should be demanding answers. Do not let them stifle you into accepting their new paradigm where it is verboten to raise questions about why we are losing so many youngsters. You can be guaranteed that if you were to meet these young people in the next life, they would have wanted those questions to be asked and for their deaths not to have been in vain, especially if they are victims of State poisoning. Don’t they deserve justice and the truth or just a wall of silence?

There are armies of fake accounts on Facebook and Twitter run by so-called intelligence agencies deployed to engage on posts about sudden deaths and bully those asking questions. They should be called out for what they are and blocked. Family members who try to shut down inquiries clearly have something to hide and are participating in a cover-up. They should be far too busy grieving to look at newspapers and social media anyway. It is up to us on the outside to shine a bright light on these shocking cases and demand the truth. If you really want to pay tribute to the dead, that is the best way to do it.
