Embalmers Have Been Finding Numerous Long, Fibrous Clots That Lack Post-Mortem Characteristics

Embalmers Have Been Finding Numerous Long, Fibrous Clots That Lack Post-Mortem Characteristics By Enrico Trigoso September 2, 2022 Updated: September 3, 2022biggersmaller Print

Several embalmers across the country have been observing many large, and sometimes very long, “fibrous” and rubbery clots inside the corpses they treat, and are speaking out about their findings.

Numerous embalmers from different states confirmed to The Epoch Times that they have been seeing these strange clots, starting from either 2020 or 2021.

It’s not yet known if the cause of the new clot phenomenon is COVID-19, vaccines, both, or something different.

The Epoch Times received videos and photos of the anomalous clots, but could not upload them due to the level of gore.

Mike Adams, who runs an ISO-17025 accredited lab in Texas, analyzed clots in August and found them to be lacking iron, potassium, magnesium, and zinc.

Adams’s lab uses inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), triple quadrupole mass spectrometer, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, usually testing food for metals, pesticides, and glyphosate.

“We have tested one of the clots from embalmer Richard Hirschman, via ICP-MS. Also tested side by side, live human blood from an unvaccinated person,” Adams told The Epoch Times.

He found that the clots are lacking key elements present in healthy human blood, such as iron, potassium, and magnesium, suggesting that they are formed from something other than blood.

Adams is joining analytic forces with more doctors and plan to invest out of their own pocket in equipment in order to further determine their composition and probable causation.

The string-like structures differ in size, but the longest can be as long as a human leg and the thickest can be as thick as a pinky finger.

Drastic Increase in Clots Richard Hirschman, a licensed funeral director and embalmer in Alabama, recalled that he has been in the trade since the tragedy of 9/11.

“Prior to 2020, 2021, we probably would see somewhere between 5 to 10 percent of the bodies that we would embalm [having] blood clots,” Hirschman told The Epoch Times.

“We are familiar with what blood clots are, and we’ve had to deal with them over time,” he said.

“For me to embalm a body without any clots, kind of like how it was in the day, prior to all of this stuff … It’s rare,” Hirschman said.

Clot Analysis The chart below shows the differences between the blood of the unvaccinated and the clot tested with ICP-MS, according to Adams’s analysis.

Element Blood (Unvaccinated) Clot Mg (Magnesium) 35 ppm 1.7 ppm K (Potassium) 1,893 ppm 12.5 ppm Fe (Iron) 462 ppm 20.6 ppm Cu (Copper) 1 ppm 0.3 ppm Zn (Zinc) 7.9 ppm 2.4 ppm Al (Aluminum) 1.3 ppm 1.6 ppm Na (Sodium) 1,050 ppm 1,500 ppm C (Carbon) 137,288 ppm 152,845 ppm Ca (Calcium) 74 ppm 23.8 ppm Sn (Tin) 163 ppb 943 ppb Cl (Chlorine) 930,000 ppm 290,000 ppm P (Phosphorus) 1,130 ppm 4,900 ppm “Notice that the key elemental markers of human blood such as iron are missing in the clot (which is just at 4.4 percent of blood). Similar story with magnesium, potassium, and zinc. These are clear markers for human blood. Live human blood will always have high iron, or the person would be dead. These clots have almost no iron, nor magnesium, etc.,” Adams told The Epoch Times.

Wade Hamilton, a cardiologist who is familiar with clots, told The Epoch Times: “The fact that the magnesium, potassium, and iron are very low in the samples could suggest that they are not the usual post-mortem clots, that in fact there was no blood flow in these vessels. These structures raise but do not totally answer some interesting questions.”

“The combination of the low electrolytes and the novel very strong string-like structures suggests that these areas where the string-like structures are seen in the blood vessels did not receive circulation. They are not ‘normal’ post-mortem findings according to experienced embalmers bent on obtaining total body vascular access from one site, which because of the unusual ‘clots,’ they were unable to do,” he added.

“They are not normal post-mortem clots but rather the long tiny strings may have been etiologic in the deaths, preventing circulation to those regions. Others have shown that the spike protein can and does unfold and form a different configuration, contributing to tight string-like bonded structures with longitudinal twisting as well as cross binding, visible by microscopy, each one measuring angstroms in diameter—it takes 25,400,000 angstroms to make an inch—a typical capillary is around 5 microns, so many strings are needed to occlude a vessel.”

The embalming process has become much more difficult too, causing some embalmers to have to drain the blood via multiple points instead of a single spot.

‘Never Seen’ Before “In 20 years of embalming, I had never seen these white fibrous structures in the blood, nor have others in my field. In the past year, I have seen these strange clots in many different individuals, and it doesn’t seem to matter what they die of, they often have similar substances in their blood. This makes me very concerned because if something is wrong in the blood, it begs the question: is something causing people to die prematurely?” Hirschman said.

“As the summer [of 2021] went on, COVID deaths were on the decline, but these clots were increasing in number. My suspicion is that the vaccine may be the cause of these strange clots. I realize that I am not a doctor nor am I a scientist, but I do know what blood looks like and I am very familiar with the embalming process that I have been doing for two decades. I do not know 100 percent what causes these clots, but I do know from my experience and through speaking with several other embalmers and funeral directors none of us had seen this strange clotting before.”

Hirschman sent the clots to a few pathologists and claims that some of them have “overlooked” them, probably due to fear of retaliation.

He has embalmed thousands of bodies and is very familiar with blood, and he feels that the blood of most of the bodies he has seen in the last two years “has changed.”

Hirschman is not afraid to lose his job because he’s a trade embalmer and not employed by a funeral home, but is also cautious not to reveal where exactly he works.

“They’re not even dead from COVID. They’re dying of sudden heart attacks, strokes, cancers. It doesn’t seem to matter what these people die of nowadays, so many of them have the same anomalies in their blood.”

“The blood is different. Something is causing the blood to change. And the whole purpose of me trying to come out was to try to say: look, something’s wrong. Let’s figure out what it is so that maybe we can find a way to help break this stuff down and save people’s lives,” Hirschman said.

“If it’s not the vaccine, fine! What is it? Let’s figure it out, because something is causing it and it can’t be healthy.”

Vaccination Status Hirschman is not always able to talk to the families but has been diligently trying to confirm if the bodies of the people with clots had been vaccinated.

The funeral house sometimes knows the vaccination status of the deceased person and tells him; sometimes it may also be that the person got vaccinated and did not tell the family.

“I had a 49-year-old, was totally healthy getting ready for work, collapses dead. Next thing you know, I’m embalming him, and guess what I’m pulling out of him? The same stuff. Same stuff! He was totally fine, totally healthy. Shocked everybody. Find out, oh, yeah. Not only was he vaccinated, he was boosted,” Hirschman recalled.

He also stated that he found the “same stuff” in a man who had a stroke while sleeping and who died of cancer.

“I spoke with an embalmer in Louisiana and she said the same thing,” Hirschman said. “Sometimes they’re not huge, there are other varieties of anomalies, some of them were small, sometimes they’re little specks, like pieces of sand or coffee grounds.”

Hirschman annotated the details of bodies he has embalmed in the last few years:

2018 total bodies: 410 1st Quarter 90 2nd Quarter 77 3rd Quarter 110 4th Quarter 133 2019 total bodies: 439 1st Quarter 95 2nd Quarter 76 3rd Quarter 101 4th Quarter 167 2020 total bodies: 572 1st Quarter 130 2nd Quarter 60 3rd Quarter 166 4th Quarter 216 2021 total bodies: 632 1st Quarter 198 2nd Quarter 91 3rd Quarter 164 4th Quarter 179 (Nov. 9/19 Clotted; Dec. 19/40 Clotted) 2022 total bodies so far: 364 1st Quarter 146 (38 not clotted, 67 heavy clots, 20 confirmed vaccinated) 2nd Quarter 90 (11 not clotted, 38 heavy clots, 21 confirmed vaccinated) 3rd Quarter 128 (19 not clotted, 51 heavy clots, 15 confirmed vaccinated) Other Embalmers Wallace Hooker is an expert embalmer who lectures on a national level as well as internationally. He has a significant presence on social media, especially on some private embalming websites.

Hooker sees about 300 bodies a year, and has seen numerous clots of the same kind Hirschman has.

He told The Epoch Times that “people are seeing these [clots], it’s just not Richard and me and Anna [Foster],” another embalmer.

“I have people sending me photos almost every week of what they’re seeing,” Hooker said.

After he stated that he suspected the vaccines could have something to do with the clots, he was dismissed by some people who said he wasn’t a qualified doctor who could comment on the cause.

Hooker also suspects that the so-called Sudden Adult Death Syndrome could have some relation to these clots.

Hooker lives in a conservative, rural area, and from his observation, fewer of the people there have been vaccinated compared to those in big cities.

“At least 25 percent of what I was embalming would display a significant amount of clotting,” Hooker said.

He also noted that some embalmers with lesser skill might not find the clots after draining and that pathologists who do autopsies on the bodies might not do a full check on the vascular system.

“Some embalmers are not being thorough embalmers. Many work for corporate firms that absolutely do not allow a cell phone in the embalming room. They do not allow photos to be taken, and it’s grounds for immediate dismissal. I’ve talked to these people that work for these firms,” he further stated.

Anna Foster, a licensed funeral director from Missouri, explained that she started seeing more frequent and larger clots after the COVID pandemic started.

“I often sit with the families to make the arrangements. Families tend to tell us about the lead-up to the individual’s death, and knowing I embalmed the person the night before led me to keep track of these cases,” Foster told The Epoch Times.

“In the beginning, none had ever been diagnosed with COVID, but they had all been vaccinated. Later, a couple had had COVID but not recently, and they were also vaccinated,” she continued.

“Most of the individuals I embalmed and saw these changes were over the age of 75 and lived in nursing facilities, except for two men in their early fifties. One of these men was a friend of ours, and he had the vaccination, and after his second dose, he began to feel ill. His wife took him to their family doctor, and the doctor immediately sent him to the ER because he was showing signs of a thrown clot or a heart attack. He went into cardiac arrest while transferring, and he died shortly after. He was embalmed right after death, and the clotting was by far unexplainable, and this is when I began to feel very concerned about this vaccination and canceled my thoughts of receiving the vaccination myself,” Foster said.

In one case, she pulled out clots that were 2 feet in length and “several more” that were at least 12 inches—from the same body.

“I know before the vaccination, my embalming cases did not have the amount of clotting I see now, and very rarely would you find many with fibrin attached; now, it is at least ten times the amount, if not more,” she said.

Strange Clots Larry Mills, a licensed embalmer and funeral director in the state of Alabama, has been in the funeral business since 1968 and has been involved with the embalming procedure since the beginning of his career.

“We as embalmers are seeing some strange clots since the COVID outbreak. These clots are very rubbery feeling and very long as they exit the veins that we use during the embalming procedure. They really appear to be like earthworms. I have never seen this in my career until now,” Mills told The Epoch Times.

Other funeral directors or embalmers wanted to maintain anonymity, because they don’t know how the funeral houses would react.

“I can tell you with certainty that the clots Richard has shown online are a phenomenon that I have not witnessed until probably the middle of last year. That is pretty much all I have to say about it. I have no knowledge as to what is causing the clots, but they did seemingly start showing up around the middle of 2021,” another embalmer, licensed since around 2001, told The Epoch Times.

“You can [be] rest assured that the clots we are seeing are not something we ever saw prior to last year,” he added.

A licensed funeral director and apprentice embalmer who has been in the funeral industry for over 3 years has participated in over 200 embalmings.

“During May of 2021, the embalming process became more difficult. The normal draining of the blood was almost halted by thick, jelly-like blood. Instead, of the blood flowing normally down the table, it was very vicious. So thick, that it would not wash down the table without assistance,” she told The Epoch Times.

As time has passed since the vaccines were distributed she has seen more of the “thick blood” as well as the “thick, fibrous-like clots.”

She explained that normal embalming usually takes around 2 hours, but now it can take up to 4 hours.

“The distribution of the arterial fluid is being blocked by these clots and making my job more difficult. The clots are so large and thick that with the flow of arterial solution, massage and manipulation of the artery or vein is necessary for removal,” she continued. “I am able to assist some of the large clots with forceps.”

“Many families have reported their loved one’s death as a sudden heart attack, embolisms, and blood clots. Many families have stated, that their family members had no health issues prior to receiving the vaccine. I myself am vaccinated, as well as my parents. My father was vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine, two weeks later he had emergency surgery for blood clots in his popliteal artery. After his second vaccine dose, he was hospitalized with more clots, he had surgery a second time, and the third time he almost died. My father had to have a complete bypass in his leg,” she said.

“During my father’s hospitalization, my best friend’s father was having emergency surgery at the same hospital for a massive heart attack, which he suffered weeks after receiving his vaccine.”

“My father, now suffers from nerve damage and loss of usage in his leg. After my mother received her Moderna vaccine, she has suffered complications of heart valve failure, and surgery for blood clots in her arteries. I have been diagnosed, with pericardial effusion of the tricuspid valve and I also have myocarditis. I started having sharp chest pain, shortness of breath and it has progressively become worse. I went to the emergency room and followed up with a cardiologist, who diagnosed me. My blood pressure is at an all-time high. I was a very healthy person until I received the Moderna vaccine,” she stated.

Three other embalmers also confirmed over the phone having witnessed anomalous clots.

Possible Explanations: Doctors “The very large blood clots that are being removed before and after death are unlike anything we have ever seen in medicine,” Dr. James Thorp, a maternal-fetal medicine expert who has been observing anomalies in pregnant women and fetuses, told The Epoch Times.

“The COVID-19 vaccine diverts energy away from the physiologic processes in the body towards the production of the toxic spike protein. This directs energy away from the normal process of internal digestion also known as autophagy. This results in protein misfolding and propagation of large intravascular blood clots and also a variety of related diseases including prion disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, amyloidosis, and dementias including Alzheimer’s and others. While it is possible that COVID-19 illness in itself could potentially contribute to these diseases, it is unlikely and if so the effect of the vaccine would be 100 to a 1,000-fold greater than that of COVID-19 disease.” Thorp said.

Epoch Times Photo Figure 1 Proper 3D conformation of a protein is dependent on available energy in the cellular milieu. Protein misfolding is more likely to occur during periods of impaired mitochondrial function and oxidative stress. (Courtesy of James Thorp) Hamilton added that: “Another possible explanation of the low electrolytes is that they have been taken up and bound to the toxin as part of a failed process to get rid of the ‘toxin,’ as when Vitamin B-12 is lowered in patients on anti-psychotic medications as the body attempts to get rid of the medication, bound to B-12 as a step in elimination. Every toxin has to be bound to an electrolyte to leave the body.”

Hamilton thinks that the overwhelming accumulation of these strings that have “nearly the strength of steel” could have caused multi-organ failure and death.

“The term amyloid has previously been employed to describe a number of pathological conditions in diseased organs, and is the cause of death in the rare genetic condition amyloidosis. It is never normal. Whether a partial accumulation of thousands of the string-like structures can cause fatigue based on decreased blood flow, brain fog, or sudden adult death is speculative, but certainly possible,” Hamilton said.

“The pathologists will need to do more detailed examinations than are routinely done to answer this question. This process for example could lead to an acute myocardial infarction with enzyme elevation in a young soccer player with no gross anatomical findings.”

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, who has been analyzing vaccine adverse reactions for about three decades, also thinks the clots have to do with amyloid proteins.

“It appears the answer is coming directly through that needle. Spike protein disease, leading to the deposition of amyloid in organs and filling up arteries and veins,” Tenpenny told The Epoch Times.

“The spike protein also interacts with platelets and fibrinogen, interfering with blood flow, also leading directly to hypercoagulation. When the spike protein was mixed with other blood proteins, the combined amyloid-like structure was resistant to the enzymes that would normally break down the clot (called impaired fibrinolysis),” she added.

“This leads to the persistence of a voluminous number of microclots in small blood vessels throughout the body called capillaries. Millions of these tiny clots effectively block the passage of red blood cells into tissues, decreasing oxygen exchange and leading to multiorgan system failure.”

I’m not on my horse at all. Recently there has been a lot on these threads about autologous transfusion for “pure blood” reasons. While I don’t think it’s reasonable from a medicine perspective i also 100% support patient choice so long as there is no conflicting data.

I know that autologous transfusion went out the window a while back as a result of reduction of overall transfusion practices once we learned that old blood is bad blood and transfusions are quite risky. Used to be transfusion was quite liberal.

So I thought I would find the answer to the question. Where there it had gone completely by the wayside and why or what the actual story is. Turns out that large academic universities still perform autologous blood transfusion. Long process to get it before surgery and lots of timing issues. But I wanted people to know there was a very legitimate choice and where to seek it out.

Lots of good reasons for it as you pointed out. Zero chance of mismatch reaction. Additionally if transfused back as whole blood instead of fractionated there are excellent properties that would not be seen if banked autologous blood were used

I always try to present all reasonable options. In my judgment although I would not do autologous blood for me personally it is a valid strategy. I want people to know where to get it because community hospitals I am guessing would just say no options.

“ Calling in your back up. They are as trusted as far as you are”
———————————————————————————————————————-

I don’t require back up. I’m a $hit kicker all by myself.

I’m sharing thoughts and ideas with people that like thoughts and ideas.

But apparently you prefer an Echo Chamber without disagreement or discussion.

I had a thought earlier today.
I wondered why seemingly only non-vaccinated anti-vax people know so many (almost always its 3 or more I even heard of 10 once) people in their family or close friends network that had severe vaccine reactions or died from a cause directly related to a vaccine.

Yet people vaccinated don’t seem to know anyone that had more than a sore arm or were tired the next day.

So this tells me that the anti-Vaxxers making these claims have such low creditability that even their own family ignores them. Their friends blow them off and get vaccinated anyway.

Or, it tells me that they are liars and will stop at nothing to advance their narrative and agenda.

So either those people making those claims are consider kooks by their own friends and family or they’re lying.
Which one is it do you think?

...pure blood ...
____________________________________

You may be a bit myopic.

Hitlerian locution of “pure blood” referred to a genetic trait. No one could choose to be so. No one was coerced into not being so. It was standard Racial Theory based on bloodlines. They also measured the head, proportions of features, body proportions, etc. They did not even posses genetic science at that time. The determination was made on surnames and lineage only. It was however, possible even after surnames were common for those who only had a Jewish mother to sometimes, via moving or just outright lying, to pass themselves off as not Jewish.

Fun fact: German surnames became hereditary in the 19th century. Jews, however, originally were assigned one of only 4 surnames: Gross, Klein, Schwarz, Weiss. (Big, Little, Black, White). Discrimination was endemic in German society prior to Hitler.

“In the distant past, individuals were only given a first name. Most people lived in small villages with small populations, so if you called for someone named Heinrich, chances were the right Heinrich would turn around. However, as populations increased, the multitude of people who shared the same first name became confusing.

Around the 12th century, people began to differentiate between individuals who shared the same name using the Latin word dictus (“called”), or later, with the German genant (“called”), giheizen/heisset (“is called”), den man sprichet (“of whom you speak”), den man nennt (“the one who you call”), and so on.

It looked like this: Cunradus dictus Faber, Heinricus dictus Kreier, bruder Egebreht dem man sprichet der Wolhuser (“brother Egebreht who is called the Wolhuser”), Hans Rot genannt Rotlieb, Heinrich bi dem Bach. These additions eventually evolved into the surnames we know today: Heinrich dictus Schneider became Heinrich Schneider.

These surnames were not always family names, in the sense that they were not necessarily passed down in the family. A son and a father might have different surnames. It was only in the 19th century that surnames became hereditary. By the time periods covered by MyHeritage’s birth and marriage indexes from Hesse, for example, surnames were used for the entire family.”

Today, Pureblood refers to those who managed to resist coercion to remain uninjected. Anyone who is so fortunate may at any time be subject to a changed status by being injected, either by choice, thru coercion or forcibly, as was done on camera in Australia to the cognitively disabled.

The impetus for the appellation “Mudblood” is that, so far, those so injected do not seem to _ever_ totally clear the spike protein coded by the mRNA. Originally infected cells pass the code to daughter cells when they replicate. It is indisputably the spike protein that causes clots of varying size and degree. So, the blood is *mud* and so far appears likely to remain so.

This is of concern to the uninjected because of blood transfusions (not available in NAZI Germany) and the phenomena of spike protein transmission from the injected to those who are not.

Sometimes, history only rhymes.

...a problem with peer reviewed research cutting corners, or being done and utilizing normative science. ...
___________________________________________
There are investigations past & present, indicating: paid reviewers with compensation contingent on findings;’ghost’ reviewers who, for compensation, rubber-stamp a paper one way or another without even actually reading/analyzing the study in question. It has been shown in the case of Tess Lawrie’s Ivermectine study that the main reviewer was coerced/compensated to throw shade on her team’s results.

Journals are financed by the pharmaceutical companies. IIRC, BMJ had to admit to their misleading retractions when confronted. Reviewers knowingly omit or minimize their conflicts of interest.

Due to pharma ad dollars, the legacy state global media glosses or ignores all of this. It is well-known while lip service is paid to “Peer Review”.

It is scandalous. It invites distrust.

I was a medical massage therapist for 11 years, my husband for over 20. We worked with/on referral from MDs & PTs. We were so on-board *evidence-based medicine*. Today, I cringe when I hear that phrase. We were present at case presentation meetings. I can report that I was present when a blinded case was discussed. I sat there, amazed at the words coming out of respected professionals mouths, because I WAS THE PATIENT being discussed! I was already a bit jaundiced re: the medical profession and that was bitter icing on the cake.

Later, I told one MD I was the patient discussed. He turned bright red, stammered, mumbled an apology and hurried off. Never worked with him again and soon after returned to the business I had before and had been keeping alive while maintaining a busy practice.

It is not just *cutting corners* or *utilizing normative science*. It is elitism and ego writ large. It is a hierarchy of the self-anointed Elect. It reeks of contempt for the patient combined with a cavalier attitude toward their own shortcomings. There is a practice of reverse omerta, where the prevailing authorities must never be ill-characterized in public and only in a circumspect code in private. And that was back in a time when these men were all self-employed practitioners in solo or joint private practices. I can imagine what it must be like in a corporate environment where they are employees of an institution dependent upon government & Big Pharma support.

And what they have wrought speaks for itself.

... No one trusts anyone essentially from “another tribe”....

Well, that may be a truism, but we are not discussing *tribes*. We are discussing the people and institutions we trust with our lives and health and that of our loved ones.

This is an entire rotten edifice composed of undeserved reverence for _institutionalized_ scientific learning and accomplishment in the medical arts. The learning and accomplishment exist. The institutions are perverse.

If I had to choose (and we all do) between some MD who cannot be separated from his PDR (because who could ever remember which pharmaceutical product to dispense w/o an 8-inch thick reference provided by those same manufacturers) and an RN turned Naturopath who can discuss intelligently the various actions/interactions of a huge compendium of herbs (from which most of those pharmaceuticals were derived) and who, to boot, has an understanding of musculoskeletal structure and function, I would choose Dr. Tenpenny.

And if anyone cares to demean Malone, McCollough, Geert Vanden Bossche, Marik, Koury etc, etc, they can first provide their own CV and accompanying papers published, protocols invented and accounting of sheer bravery for speaking out in defense of their patients and of all humans so far affected by this massive cluster-eff.

The scientific medical profession was used as a willing beard for a colossal biowarfare operation against the entire human race—you and yours included—and the Frontline Doctors, ALL of them, are heroes.

I have watched these people slowly come to the same realizations I touch on in this post over the past 2 years. It was difficult and painful and they still, in true scientific fashion, researched and examined and tested and argued with themselves and each other and challenged the paradigms until the conclusions were undeniable. That takes true courage.

Every single human institution has been perverted and sullied by this operation. As horrific as the results have been so far, if those who stood in the breech had not done so at great cost to themselves, we would already be totally locked into an even more dystopian nightmare than we are.

Go down some rabbit holes if you dare and ask yourself why Fauchi makes the most money of anyone in government. Explore the relationship between NIAID and DOD. Then do DOD & NATO. Then review the attempt of NATO/Atlantic Alliance & Ukraine’s attempt to bring war crime charges against Russia at the UN (hint: they were roundly dismissed) and watch while the real war crimes (start by cataloging the bioweapon labs run around the world by the West) are brought to glaring light in the next 6 months or so.

Internalize this: everything we think or thought we knew is a lie. This is so far beyond what anyone outside of perhaps Issac Asimov in the Foundation Trilogy (books, not TV) could even imagine that most people cannot and will not be able to accept it as reality.

Call all the names you wish. I do not care. I am heartsick and furious and I will not equivocate just because, after all, reasonable people know that monsters aren’t real.

The monsters do not live under our beds, they have run the world for centuries. And they still do.
