Yep. It’s in his personal FB statement. Someone wanted to make sure it was known, looks like.

I would agree but to me Powell was the worst thing a person could be- a complete hypocrite.

All he did during the obama years and afterwards was accuse the GOP of racism (remember the “dark vein of racism in the Republican party comment?). Yet he said nothing about the demoKKKrats as they heaped all kinds of racist attacks against Condi Rice.

Complete hypocrite.

It is almost impossible to distinguish between complications from covid, and complications from the covid vax. Making it an article of faith, not science.

Being vaccinated certainly is one as well.

The media didn’t tell he was vaccinated fully - the family did.

Posted in the other thread...

My uncle couldn’t stand him. His career ended when the perfumed ‘Colon’ demanded he lie about troop readiness. He refused.

He should know as he starred in the Army.

I have mixed feelings about him. I vividly remember the lead up to Gulf War I and hearing him on occasion, then I started to feel better it was he that was one of the decision makers. Up to that point, all I heard for 10 years prior was how bad we sucked in the execution of the Vietnam war/conflict whatever they wanted to call it.

I so wish people in the military would just stay our of politics.

Especially when there is a political agenda behind keeping the number of covid death high.

At this point in time I no longer trust the medical establishment to be honest. They are under pressure to keep the “pandemic” fear going.

He lived in McLean, VA, so he either already has or will be voting for McAuliffe in the upcoming election.

To me the worst thing he did was sit silent during Plamegate and did not tell W that Armitage was the leaker. Instead he let that witch-hunt happen and an innocent Scooter Libby be prosecuted.

Colin Powell was your classic globalist and GOPe. And he was a sly one. Good friend of the Washington Post and telling secrets to Bob Woodward to win brownie points and move up the Deep State ladder of treason.

Bush W, McCain, Romney and Powell. You can have them, Lord.

Wasn’t Colin Powell part of the cover-up of the Mylai massacre?

Calling him "an honorable man" makes me think of Mark Antony's speech at Julius Caesar's funeral (at least Shakespeare's version of it) when he keeps calling Brutus "an honorable man."

Hank Aaron was also 84 when he died early this year, soon after getting the vaccine (to encourage other black people to take it). Because the Atlanta Braves are in the playoffs, Hank Aaron's name gets mentioned often by the commentators but I don't think they ever mention that he was a victim of the vaccine.

He was the deputy chief of operations of the Americal Division at the time. If anyone at division knew the details, he did.

What an ironic end for a man who got a pass for his role in My Lai, was promoted by Republican administrations and put tribe (ObaMao) over country in the end.
A minor man with an even more minor place in history.
