The clots are not amyloid?
Cole reports no amyloid! Sell all your shares in amyloid! Short, short short!
Brian shares some developing Spooky Rubber Clot Updates.
Numerous contradictory developments regarding “The Spooky Clots” are occurring at once, nearly a year after they first entered the media ecosystem. First, what the reader probably already knows:
Died Suddenly, obviously, asserted replicating discovery of The Spooky Clots during a live-take embalming session (meaning, the film claimed that this footage wasn’t staged, despite obvious inclusion of a separately-filmed, mood-setting intro) [for any readers just watching for the first time, please make sure to start at the beginning because the Bigfoot footage turns out to be extremely important at the end1].
The blogger who goes by “The Naked Emperor” reported not finding any corroboration for The Spooky Clots. Does this mean the clots are all a big op?! I cannot recommend any particular stance regarding how to interpret TNE’s report.
Elsewhere in anonymous substack land, “A Midwestern Doctor” popularized the link between these allegedly-real, allegedly-not-real formations and the not actually obscure work2 by Pretorius’s lab regarding spike protein and amyloid clotting.
Important side-note, for any discussion of Pretorius, et al.’s finding: Their lab has also previously shown amyloid clotting in blood by adding LPS, a component of bacterial cell walls that is also in your household dust.
As always with amyloid, its generation within any of our systems is potentially a generic innate immune response that we humans do not understand.
Now for what may be new to the reader.
The first two links are via comments by Stan_R and Painter 14 in Mathew Crawford’s latest critique of Died Suddenly. For what it’s worth, Painter 14 also claims second-hand corroboration of the embalmers seeing Spooky Clots = true version of reality, contra TNE’s report.
Chris Martenson provides an excellent overview (youtube.com) of normal pre- and post-mortem clots, what forms they take and why; and why they are different from what is being presented in Died Suddenly. He highlights A Midwestern Doctor’s discussion of Pretorius’s work, but consider thinking twice before going all-in with a 10 million dollar purchase of AmylCoin, because:
Cole, in one of the first updates (I think?) since Kirsch reported him as being on the case in March, reports to The Highwire’s Del Bigtree that The Spooky Clots are not amyloid. (Or maybe this development has already been reported. Please yell at me in the comments if so.)
Perhaps this isn’t surprising. Amyloid, misfolded proteins might not in fact be such a great culprit to blame for structures with fibrous, possibly collagen-like integrity (as opposed to slimy, matted biofilms). So then what are these things? Well… depending on which embalmers we are to believe… perhaps they are just synthetic props? Time will tell. The indifference of humanity and medicine at large to the subject remains astounding.
Real, fake, amyloid, or not, could enzymes becoming hot topics in Long Covid discussion groups, including spike-degrading nattokinase, be beneficial for either post-virus or post-vaccine microclots? Pretorius and Doug Kell join youtube patient-researcher Gez Medinger to discuss the subject. Unfortunately, the video and sound quality makes following some of Kell’s remarks difficult. If the reader wants the TLDR answer, it’s basically, “Well, can’t hurt for people to try”:
This concludes your weekend Spooky Clots update!

This is sarcasm.
I write “inflation” instead of “inflammation” twice here as a result of Substack’s perpetually too-small default font-size for comments.
My theory is big gobs of syncytia-joined-cells plus extracellular matrix jumble via matrix metalloproteases snipping things off plus netosis byproducts / fibrin. Triggered by the multi-arginine motif that echoes decades of work with HIV-1 Tat protein as a gene transfection tool - makes its cargo head straight for the nucleus and break past protective borders. Tat causes Syncytia. This motif magically appeared in Spike and has been discussed as the furin cleavage site. Spike causes Syncytia within several hours.
Spike aside, nattokinase = generally good stuff. Worth developing a taste for natto.
