This is a total shock. I just heard from him several days ago. I learned so much from him over the years. Rest in peace.

Yes, it is quite a shock. And it sounds like he called several people over the last few days -- as if he knew he needed to say good-bye. This is so interesting.

So sad. He will always be one of my heroes. AN AMERICAN HERO he is. I just spoke to him also. He is finally free of the soul torment he has been subject to his whole life. We didn't choose this path. It was shoved down our throat. Fly free m friend. You were LOVED!

You are the third person I have spoken to that just recently spoke with him. This is very interesting.

Rest in Peace, John. Or, knowing you, you will be stirring up stuff on the other side. You are already missed on this sphere. Thanks for all the hard and valuable work you have contributed to the war effort over the years.

John will sorely be missed. He was a real warrior for truth. It has been an honor to call him friend. Rest in peace brother; as we carry on the fight here.

Indeed - John was a "spirited" guy!

Do you think they got him?

No, not necessarily. I don't think he was that much of a threat to them. It would be good to determine the cause of death.

Jeanice, thank you for posting this memorial to John.

Many of his friends were lucky enough to have known him much longer than me. My first email to him was on Nov 5, 2015, 11:20 AM:

Dear John, I just read your recent "Paralysis" article ( https://www.renegadetribune.com/paralysis-of-the-will-to-live/ ) and your statement below struck close to home:

“Many of us, especially old geezers like myself, were brought up in solid families, taught to respect the social order, church, school, voting, public service. We lived in a system that appeared to work. It is only now, sixty years later, that we learn it has always been a charade.”

I just wanted to thank you for your work and encourage you to keep writing.

Kent

Less than an hour later, John replied:

Thanks Kent.

I appreciate your kind words. I spent about 30 years as a newspaper editor in various places, and have been at this internet stuff since 9/11. Wish I could say I was more successful, but most people are trapped in the grip of mainstream media and refuse to see the lies their government tells them.

I keep hoping that people will suddenly wake up, but I am not trapped in the delusion that they will.

***

We met in person a few times after that. I last visited him in North Port on June 15, 2021. It seems like yesterday. John was a good man and a true gentleman. I will miss him, his vision, his truthfulness, his dry humor, and his wisdom.

Hi Kent - thanks for sharing you initial correspondence with John. It sounds like you two developed a good friendship. I, myself, had my ups and downs with John, but we ended up working things out several months ago just before I interviewed him on my radio show. I'm really glad about that. Those of us in the "truth movement" can get really cranky at times. Neither John nor I were exceptions to that and so there were moments we ended up butting heads. Nevertheless, it all worked out before he left his body, which makes me really happy. I'll miss him too.

Hi Jeanice, Yes, we've seen some friction in our email group, but that's inevitable when idealistic people get together. John championed Truth, but sometimes that's in the eye of the beholder. I'm glad you reconnected with him. And I'm glad he went in peace.

Just when Kaminski was waking up (fully) to the lies of monotheism and the Demiurge introducing everyone to Miguel Serrano and his essential works. He was too close over the target for the cabal to tolerate his message so they assassinated him. I am convinced it was gassing and/or microwaves from celltowers. A heart attack? plausible deniability is their modus operandi. This was no straw death but the death of a warrior fighting to the last...

John is one of the most brave, honest souls I ever knew. I was deeply shocked and saddened to hear of his passing.

A few days ago, as always, I received email notification from him of his latest written piece "So Sorry About Tomorrow" https://www.johnkaminski.org/index.php/john-kaminski-american-writer-and-critic-2/543-so-sorry-about-tomorrow It is well worth a read, as are all his points of view.

You are a good man John. You will live on in the hearts of all of those of us lucky enough to have discovered your work.

Thank you!

I was so sad to hear this news this morning. But as I was thinking about John, I felt my spirit lifting. His was a life well spent, and he touched so many people with his words of wisdom. He was our own Eustache Mullins.

I know John wasn't religious - but I think he was spiritual in his own way. I have a feeling he is a little surprised about where he's at right now - "This is so great, I feel like I've died and gone to heaven!" Cue laughter from the angels, saying, well, yeah!

I never met John in person, but I will never forget him. I think there are many of us here who feel the same.

Oh, that was terribly sad, stunning news, death always comes unexpectedly, and we never want to talk about it... Especially if worthy, respectable, talented people leave our world...

I was lucky to meet John K on the forums back in 2000-2001, then I received his books "The Day America died" and "America's atopsy report"...

He was a wonderful man, a seeker of truth and justice which he never managed to discover in our mad-mad-mad world - a world of the "failed species"... His works will for ever remain the examples of truthful research into human society, a retrospective of our recent chilling history...

John's grandfather Sylvester emigrated at the beginning of the 20th century from Poland (Jaworiw, Lwow) to the USA, pity that there were no descendants left - only us, his spiritual heirs, the like-minded folks...

I will really miss him. We traded information on rabbit holes that can never be totally understood but we tried and wrote to each other for around 4 years almost daily.

I am very happy to see that his torch has been taken on by many. That is a gift he gave me, never assume the truth is actually true as we were getting into some very heavy science and history that is rarely heard of such as the Tartars which the US Library of Congress have 7 volumes of in maps of over 4000 drawings. The end of the 19th century found world's fairs being fully built in months instead of years and had no power generators but had electricity with Trolly cars, lights and very solid buildings.

There was few things that he had not had at least a good look at from the original documentation.
