Violence on the part of the state IS NOT the trigger for violence on the part of the protesters. The protesters will not react....because they have something to lose. These are largely independent businessmen (independent truckers) with families, property, and good futures. The state understands that....and that they can thus use force against them with little fear of immediate reprisal, unlike dealing with BLM/Antifa.
Ironically, the state is now doing its BEST to destroy that restraint on the part of the truckers by by taking away the things that moderate them ..... freezing their bank accounts, seizing their businesses and properties, and making noise about jailing them and taking away their children. DO THAT to a couple of hundred businessmen, and you'll have a full blown revolution, with men committed to the destruction of the government, and who won't stop until they have heads on plates.
Almost one entire launch worth (40 of 49) of Starlink satellites was lost on Feb 3 when a solar storm coincided with their deployment. No degredation of service.....no previously deployed starlink satellites (currently 1700+) were lost. The reentry of at least some was filmed.
There's no point in lying about them reentering if they did not.....anyone who'd potentially be the target of a Starlink ramming can track them, anyway. The ones currently IN orbit have some potential offensive capability (via ramming), just like any other satellite.
But they're interesting because there are so many of them, they're relatively cheap, they're low orbit (you have to go through them), and they're so dispersed.

A geomagnetic storm has significantly impacted SpaceX's newest fleet of Starlink satellites . As many as 40 of the 49 small satellites launched on the afternoon of Feb. 3 from Florida's Kennedy...
"Desensitization" is the term. US military surveys done during WWII found that the majority of troops refused to shoot at the enemy (or at least claimed they wouldn't shoot). They'd empty the magazine. They'd march up the beach to almost certain death.....but were (at least saying they were not) shooting at the enemy, for risk of taking a life.
At the time, marksmanship training was still done with bullseye targets. Moving to silhouette targets (part of the ensuing 'reforms') had a statistically measurable effect on performance. As training methods improved through Korea and Vietnam, the survey results improved. It's been a while, but I think it took until Korea for the surveys to report over 50% shooting at the enemy. By Vietnam it was ovr 70%, if I recall correctly
Today, it's opposing force training with laser weapons. And then there are the video games.....both recreational and training. Add to that a self-selecting (volunteer) force, and you're probably looking at close to 100% willing to use lethal force.
My experience was I received many demands for 'things'.....and no offers for help, other than 'we'll be there next week to 'help' you remove her things'.
Should the same happen in the case of OP's sister, I doubt her husband will tolerate many demands now or in the future.
Pay for a memorial mass. Send a card that doesn't involve a demand for something. I'd say 'help pay a bill'....maybe open a 529 plan for the child's education, although OP said the children are 'adults'. Wait year, then ask. If OP helped, odds are that'll be noticed. If OP didn't help and had nothing but demands, odds are that'll be noticed also.
I am sorry for your loss.
As you noted, her husband is overwhelmed with grief.

The quote was 2 up from yours. I believe you agreed with that person and said : "Nice. That’s a good one. Go at it from the “health” angle." in reply to : "explain how relatives health issues can "run in the family" and you want to be in the know" in reply to the OP, who I quoted.
I'm disagreeing with both of you. Yeah.....the OP wants to know.
His sister died. He wants answers, and he's bitching online.
Tough shit. His sister's husband is burying her. He was living with her every day. He's trying to explain it to their child. He's making the arrangements. He's paying the bills.....funeral, medical, and supporting both himself and his child.
Maybe the OP doesn't make demands right now. If he does, he probably won't like the answer.
"Your sister‘s husband will have to go the medical records department in the hospital during working hours 8 to 5. Request a copy of her medical file. There will be a small fee. I paid $8.00 for my mother’s.
****Edit: explain to her husband that it is the family’s right to have that information and it is a common request.********"
Umm....no. Your sister's husband is grieving. Give him time.
As next of kin, they will have to release the records to him. They will likely NOT release the records to you.
After giving him time....you can ask for them.
He may say 'no'.
My experience, when I buried my wife. YMMV.
The mask is a symbol of membership in their cult, or at least submission to it.
If the threat of punishment for non-compliance is removed, people won't wear it. And those who continue to wear it will increasingly look like the oddballs they are.
The article was about 'how to get rid of graphene oxide'. It's a component of the injection. Your body doesn't make more of it. I've yet to hear even a claim it sheds. It'd be like claiming people shed calcium or vitamin B.
Can the vaccinated shed 'spike proteins' their body is being programmed to make by the trillions? Maybe by air. Sounds like 'unavoidably', by blood. The whole point of the RNA is to program your cells to turn out massive amounts of spike proteins.
Same, but less so for the vaccine RNA itself. The RNA programs you to build the spike protein....not more copies of the RNA. You've only got what you received in the shot for that, unless your DNA incorporates it. And if it does, replication is limited to the rate of cell replication.
Also.....Paul Revere, John Hancock, an Chief Justice John Marshall.....in addition to Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, and 9 signers of the Declaration of Independence.
Many of the Founders were Masons. They hired Masons as.....masons and architects for the Capital buildings. No real mystery there....
I don't know.....don't recall. It was within the last week. I get a fair amount of Trump branded spam from many sources (trump, rnsc, winred, libertydaily, etc.). I think this one had ended up in my spam folder, not even in my inbox. I flipped through it.....saw a 'short url' to sign-up, deleted it, and didn't think much about it at the time.
I had a dream the other night I did not understand,
A figure walking through the mist with a flintlock in his hand!
His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed.
Taking off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said:
"We faught a revolution to preserve our liberty.
We wrote the Constitution, as a shield from tyranny.
For future generations, this legacy we gave.
In this, the land of the free and the home of the brave.
“The freedom we fought for, we hope you’d always keep.
But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep.
Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you’re no more than a slave.
In this 'land of the free and home of the brave'.
“You buy permits to travel, and permits to own a gun,
Permits to start a business, or to build a place for one.
On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent.
Although you have no voice in choosing, how the money’s spen
“Your children must attend a school that doesn’t educate.
Your Christian values can’t be taught, according to the state.
You read about the current news, in a regulated press.
You pay a tax you do not owe, to please the I.R.S.
“Your money is no longer made of Silver nor of Gold.
You trade your wealth for paper, so your life can be controlled.
Rampant crime makes our Nation turn from God in shame.
You’ve taken Satan’s number, as you’ve traded in your name.
“You’ve given government control, to those who do you harm,
So they can burn down churches, and steal the family farm!
They keep our country deep in debt, put men of God in jail,
Harass your fellow countrymen, while corrupted courts prevail!
“Your public servants don’t uphold the solemn oath they’ve sworn.
And your daughters visit doctors, so their children won’t be born!
Your leaders ship artillery, and guns to foreign shores,
And send your sons to slaughter, fighting other people’s wars!
“Can you regain the freedom for which we fought and died?
Or don’t you have the courage, and the faith to stand with pride?
Are there no more values for which you’ll fight to save?
Or do you wish your child, to live in fear and be a slave?
“Oh Sons of the Republic, arise and take a stand!
Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land!
Preserve our Great Republic, and GOD-Given Right!
And pray to GOD, to keep the torch of Freedom burning bright!”
As I awoke he vanished, in the mist from whence he came.
His words were true, we are not free, we have ourselves to blame.
For even now as tyrants, trample each God given Right,
We only crouch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight.
Amagine if he stood by your bedside, tonight while you’re asleep,
And wondered what remained of our rights he fought to keep,
What would be your answer, as he calls out from the grave:
“Is this still my 'land of the free, and home of the brave'?”
