Thank you, Joel. I just used "sensationalist" to describe this as well and have similar concerns about this being used to discredit the larger truth movement. I have been sharing Josh's article and asked Steve Kirsch if he can reach out to the filmmakers about making corrections. I would love to see a truncated version with *just* the funeral industry interviews, embalmer footage, and Steve Kirsch's interview, and maybe a few select other bits but with all the problematic parts removed.

It is unfortunate because there is valuable content in there, but it's diluted by the other crap. Stew Peters has always struck me as a car-salesman-meets-television-evangelist, and I rarely share his videos because narrative believers will immediately dismiss his pieces as tabloid journalism (although he does have valuable interviews with the vaxx-injured and those harmed by hospital protocols, which I shared in this piece: https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-governor-ron-desantis).

Hi Margret, I almost didn’t watch this based on the reviews I’ve read. I’m glad I watched it. I agree it’s sensationalist and found myself cringing through parts of it but overall I liked it.

This will be difficult to fact check because it’s so long and has too many themes to debunk, it will just have to be ridiculed as a whole like the BBC tried. I don’t think the ridicule will stick because it’s got enough truthiness to be taken seriously by the general public. I also think the title is brilliant, it’s almost a perfect meme that can be used over and over again.

Maybe we need some used car salesmen and televangelist on our side for a change to turn the tables on the narrative and get the “normies” to wake up,

Haha, fair points, Ivo, and that is why I wanted a truncated version with the interviews and embalming footage (although, apparently some people on our side dispute that as well, but I think this "debunking" (https://bartoll.se/2022/10/blood-clots-in-dead-people/) fails to account for the fact that these veteran embalmers have never seen these before 2021, nor have they had difficulty pushing the embalming fluid through people's veins like they are now).

The title is perfect, and just injecting that concept into the mainstream may help awaken people, whether or not they watch the film.

Hi Margaret,

While it was sensationalist, the snake venom thing that he did w/Ardis a few months back was absurd, I would say based on what I have gleaned so far the analysis that this will "discredit the larger truth movement" is not accurate.

Could you define for me what you see as "the truth movement?"

I would assume you include Steve Kirsch in this movement, which I would as well though I don't believe there is a movement per se, and Steve (and other "sceptics" with megaphones) believes there was a pandemic which there demonstrably was not. I would say perpetuating this big lie is more of a problem than Peters meanderings and sensationalism.

Agreed re: the snake venom thing 😆

I don’t think it *will* discredit the movement—I think it will be used by propagandists to *try* and do that, which is unfortunate because we don’t need any more obstacles than we already have.

“Movement” is a loose term and pretty much includes anyone who is working to share scientific evidence, raise awareness, resist tyranny, restore liberties, and expose the harms of the injection, so of course, that includes Steve. That doesn’t mean we agree on all of the nuances, but we are all working to defeat totalitarianism and save lives.

I’m hoping for a Streisand effect to take hold as they ramp up the debunking.

i didn't even bother to watch died suddenly because i know what it is going to be sensationalist. stew will put out any more in the video sensationalist if it will get him clicks and views.

while just presenting data and facts doesn't move people to change their mind (you need to connect to their emotions), sensationalism also doesn't lead to the truth being accepted.

Expand full comment

He connected to emotion very well, nothing beats irrational fear and anger as a motivator, just ask your local Health Authority. If I was vaxxed, I’d be mad as hell and shitting bricks after watching it. Clicks and views speaks for itself.

How good it is at getting the truth accepted only time will tell. I see it as net positive, but can understand the criticism.

I think he achieved his goals perfectly 😀

Your article is very sensible. What surprises me the most is how some of these few honest people left in academia who write on Twitter can be so picky about the work of journalists who are clearly on our side (like Stew Peters) yet they are utterly ineffective in stopping the iatrogenocide. This only goes to show this whole situation is much more complex than it seems, and having knowledge about proteins, viruses and DNA is simply not enough. One can be 100% factually and scientifically correct in regards to covid, yet completely useless to stop the mass killing of innocents via the covid vaccine.

Rather than focus on the manufactured "pandemic" and a phony in silico "novel pathogen" best to focus on the provable crimes such as but not limited to:

1) Largest transfer of wealth to investor class in history- theft of tax dollars;

2) Slaughter of elderly in care homes through forced improper medical protocols;

3) Mass murder for money in the hopsitals through the forced use of "Covid" protocols such as remdesivir, ventilators, midazolam and other toxic drugs;

4) Destruction of millions of businesses through illegal policies;

5) Fraudulent trials and marketing of experimental medical product;

6) Reckless endangerment of the public through forced inoculations;

7) Media manipulation of public using illegal fear tactics to induce compliance;

8) Purposeful abuse of children through various lockdown policies, masks, trauma, etc;

"Covid19", the 4th Industrial Revolution and Great Reset are all massive frauds to create a series of monopolies, cartels and oligopolies that govern food, energy, healthcare and the most basic parts of our lives.

There is no pandemic, there never was.

Allen, there is a villian at the core of this conspiracy. We all want to get that villain exposed. There are right and wrong ways at getting at them. We need to hit this problem with every available tool and to pull the right threads and avoid the traps that lead down blind alleys.

Here's a few things that piss me off here. First let me say that I have looked at over 900,000 coded "Covid" deaths- U07.1. You would be hard pressed to clearly point towards one single death in that batch that was caused by a viral event. It's all fraud.

I am also involved with a large group of people that had family members killed by Covid protocols. These individuals have the lengthy and detailed hospital records of what happened in these hospitals as well as their eyewitness testimony. Many of them are involved in litigation currently.

I could go on and on all day on the evidence that is irrefutable and legally admissible. Put simply again- there was no pandemic.

Many of the "luminaries" in the "truth movement" parrot this insidious lie that there was a pandemic and then do acrobatics to explain it if they try to explain it at all.

The HUGE problem with this, far more a problem than the Stew Peter's fluff piece, is that it covers up, it serves as a smokescreen for what ACTUALLY happened. This is not only problematic but I find it disgusting and dishonorable. It is a direct affront to the hundreds of thousands who were killed by administrative diktats, not by a viral pathogen, including those elderly who were then used in March/April 2020 to create the fiction that there was some deadly pandemic.

Another aspect to consider is that these murders were almost exclusively done to the poor and disabled and here we have so-called "luminaries" (many who have a certain degree of wealth themselves) trying to define what is "the allowed discussion" while hardly if at all discussing what is the most pressing and prosecutable of these crimes.

Allen, it's great to hear about litigation. I suspect lawsuits will be the only way to get justice. But it will likely take many wins before the dam breaks.

Can you recommend legal groups worthy of our support in these suits? Thanks.

Given the track record, it is questionable whether Stew Peters and his crew are "clearly on our side". The most effective disinfo is 90% truth mixed with 10% garbage, which discredits the whole package.

Not yet viewed but I agree with the response by Dyer. There is a plethora of data and medically focused information that clearly demonstrate the issues with and arising from these jabs. However the majority of the public either don't read it or don't understand or are turned off to the message. It's too hard and too time consuming for them. Many only engage with and react to dramatic, sensationalist messages. It's almost like they need it in entertainment from. For me this type of documentary definitely has a plus side in this respect, but for those of us who need facts, evidence and a professional representation can be negative. IMO if it wakes up any of those in the aforementioned category then that's great.

how far did bringing out the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, get us in the past two years?

so now maybe it is time to try another approach?

died suddenly is inaccurate on several points, so what?

if it weren't, there would be no mention of it in the covidian media.

now they criticise it, and it gets the attention of people that otherwise would never hear of it.

and some of those will watch it and might just change their views.

after all, those in the covidian cult have been proved to not base their views on reason but on propaganda.

Expand full comment

Kind of agree.

I admittedly couldn't make it past the open, and since I've been covering this for months now, it's just another overproduced stylized production. (Headwinds and a few other come to mind.)

But this one is blowing up and if some eyeballs see some blood clots, and so forth, that may be enough to get them searching for more info.

Anyone watching this flick probably already knows or suspects that gov't and media has been lying, AND probably knows people who have died...suddenly. Or been maimed.

A lot of people have a lot of talons clutching how they think "the movement" should be run.

i have just started with the movie. I watch segment by segment. And the start is great imho. The embalmers talking about the long clots is interesting and can open eyes.

Also don't forget that for many British people the BBC, (previously a trusted sourse of news and good programming), has let them down in a big way. Not only over Covid, Brexit was another example, as is their fixation with woke matters and diversity over more pressing matters. So there'll be - quite understandably - an inbuilt suspicion of any BBC program trying to debunk "DiedSuddenly". Their previous attempted rubbishing of the unvaccinated is a case in point, (see Professor Fenton for his views of that atrocious program). British Biassed Corporation

I haven't watched it. Not sure I really need to see more sudden deaths of people who shouldn't be dying. Not sure I'm the target audience - merely talking to the already open-eyed. Does it seem that the people commenting are having their eyes opened? As for the Beeb, they are like the NHS and David Attenborough - once loved and admired and now looked at as totally unreliable and untrustworthy. Very sad to see great things showing their feet of clay.

Communicating and conveying a message can be challenging. Different groups of people understand concepts and phenomena differently, depending on their life experiences, education, etc. The ultimate message is that synthetic gene injections are harmful and sometimes deadly.

“Died Suddenly” is important for a large portion of people who will understand the harm of COVID injections most clearly only the way it’s been presented in this documentary.

I don’t think trashing the film does any favors for our cause. People are dying suddenly and these clots are real. We need to stop bashing our own side. Steve Kirsch has endorsed it, thankfully.

The facts are horrifying enough without sensationalism. Covidians will use untruths against medical freedom. Besides, on a personal level, if something is stated to be a fact, I want proof. Then I’m open to everyone’s interpretations of the facts.

I watched the film. I was disappointed to learn that someone who died in 2015 was included. That gives the appearance that no research was done and would call the whole film into question. Stew seems to employ the NATIONAL ENQUIRER type of journalism. I did watch him a bit for a while, but as he seemed to be this kind of reporter, I wasn’t sure what to believe and so I quit watching. I was surprised when people like McCullough were on his show.

No one seems to be targeting him. Is it because he’s controlled op or is it because he’s out there? Does being out there keep you safe? Idk. I just sort of stored what he says in my mind w/o giving it a lot of credit especially after snake venom fiasco. It does make you wonder about him, though. Maybe he wants to be a hero and will latch on to anything.

Lots of people are deterred by facts and figures, they need Hollywood style. Fight fire with fire, dumb it down a little. The cabal got it right obviously with people dropping dead in the streets. Died suddenly does it with a twist

Follow @EthicalSkeptic on twitter "The Random Guy".

He has performed extensive survey over excess death data from the us' cdc.

It is not only cardiac, cancers are presenting excess deaths at standard deviations that scream something has been going wrong since spring 2021 when mass inoculations began.

Random guys logic and presentation of evidence is far superior to the panicked standards used to mandate mass inoculiaton!

Thanks Joel for head on tackling these issues. From the very first day of understanding the level of malfeasance we are dealing with, there are right and wrong ways to respond to the anger we feel. Some have decided to respond through any means available as rough and tumble and sometimes getting the facts wrong. Its unfortunate in regards to this documentary, when getting to the truth in clear logical steps gets obliterated by the power of video art. His documentary flirts with way too many side issues of larger conspiracies instead of sticking to pure facts. I am SO tired of modern documentaries that "require" music soundovers, fast edits, stupid video transformations of trying to be cool and outdo the last "new thing". Every new video from our side is doing it and loosing credibility in their messaging because from the outside, this is seen as manipulative propaganda. The same issues were seen in the Real Fauci video. To form a credible line of attack in a judicial trial, the lawyers move in to create a story arc that is believable and convincing. Most video producers are so in love with their tricks and digital toys, they have forgotten what they doing is not to sing to the choir, nor to propogandize, but to appeal to logic in slow and convincing steps.

I think the documentary film genre that modern videographers are persuing is somewhat vain as they are lost in their technique with a loss of logic and beauty. What is created by even well meaning truth tellers, is in someways, just another kind of coercive propoganda even if its true truth. Avoid the manipulation. A good example in the 1970s was documentary history series called Connections by James Burke. I believe this was produced with film.
