84th Holistic Doctor Found Dead, Murdered in Home, Police Asking For Help

(Editor’s Note: The recap of 84 doctor deaths can be found here. Warning: It’s a long read and more of a book.)
It is with great sadness that we report that Dr. Clive Bridgham, of East Providence, Rhode Island, was found dead in his home on Thursday night. At this time the police have said he was murdered but declined to provide any additional information.
He will be missed by family, friends, and patients who described him as a competent and caring chiropractor who treated them with respect. 1
Bridgham was “an avid skier and surfer” and had just retired due to health reasons, last October:
“Bridgham voluntarily suspended his license on Sept. 9, according to Joseph Wendelken, a spokesman for the Department of Health. This came after Bridgham ‘began a therapeutic relationship’ in spring 2016 with a patient.  The patient complained that the doctor had violated the boundaries of a patient-physician relationship during sessions, according to paperwork filed when the doctor surrendered his license.”2
(This is after the state ordered Bridgham to undergo evaluation from the Professional Renewal Center in Kansas after he had sex with one of his patients back in 2003. We do not condone this behavior at all but are surprised how many chiropractors end up dating their patients, some of them even openly.)
Bridgham was a past president of the Chiropractic Society of Rhode Island and selected by the Rio Olympic Sports Medicine Committee to assist the health services team during the 2016 Summer Games.3

THE TRANSHUMANIST SCRAPBOOK: ARTIFICIAL BODIES WAITING FOR ...https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2726/4116259019_e42ef80164_b.jpg

Just when you thought the transhumanist craze had died down and was a "passing" fad of science fiction prognostication, this article from the U.K.'s Daily Mail comes along to dispel all the calm (shared by Mr. V.T.):
Now, the article is clear: this is all just a "marketing gimick" to promote a "new television show":
Murmurs of ‘I don’t like this,’ and ‘no, this is too much for me,’ could be heard as CES attendees crowded around the Psychasec setup, greeted by what appeared to be lifeless human forms on display in large glass cases.
During a brief tour through the booth, exhibitors dressed in all white sold the idea of immortality, through a plan to upload human consciousness to ‘human sleeves’ of whatever design you desire – before concluding around the display of ‘Joel,’ a fresh ‘sleeve' in a vacuum sealed bag, breathing and eating through a tube.
All is well, however, since the whole exhibit and booth was nothing but a marketing scheme for a new series on Netflix:
It may be one of the most bizarre Netflix marketing schemes yet, going as far as plastering posters with ‘Boycott #Psychasec’ and ‘Immortality is Immoral’ along the outside of the booth (though an exhibitor insisted to Dailymail.com that this had been done by anti-Psychasec protestors).
The dystopian sci-fi Altered Carbon is set to premier on Netflix February 2.
But I have to wonder, is it really the case that all is well? Frankly, I find the idea of such a "marketing scheme" to be almost as abhorrent as the reality.
Why?
Because notice what is being done: downloading and uploading of "consciousness" is now being promoted as a service to be performed: it is being made a commodity which, to be downloaded and uploaded, means ultimately that it can be bought and sold. Similarly with the "sleeves," the "genetically engineered bodies", are reduced to so much material to be bought and sold - perhaps organ-by-organ.  And with these possibilities comes another: that one enters into contractual arrangements with a mega-corporation encompassing all physical and non-physical (or spiritual if you will) aspects of human existence itself.
In other words, the meme is being planted, and given the nature of such television shows, a platform is being created not only to explore all these implications and speculations but more importantly to drive the conversations in a certain way toward the goal of making humanity itself, in all its parts, a commodity to be bought and sold and "serviced" by the corporate world.
So in other words, folks, transhumanism is no longer a rarefied academic or hypothetical discussion. It is now going to be promoted and driven into the public consciousness. I've pointed out several times, beginning with my very first book in this strange world of "alternative research," The Giza Death Star, that virtual immortality, or even a drastic improvement of human longevity to, say, hundreds of years, has a moral implication, for long ago, the Christian Church Father, St. John Chrysostom, pointed out that death, really, is an antidote to endless progress in evil. His point was, as I observed in that book, and as I have observed in prior blogs about this and related subjects, is that one can imagine an Albert Schweitzer or a Mother Teresa, having not decades, but perhaps centuries, to do their good works. But similarly, one can imagine a Chairman Mao or Joseph Stalin, or other genocidal mass murders having a similar opportunity to "perfect" their particular "inclinations."                    https://gizadeathstar.com/2018/01/transhumanist-scrapbook-artificial-bodies-waiting-uploaded-consciousness/
