Martha Sepúlveda, the Colombian woman who made headlines for advocating for her own euthanasia even though she did not have a terminal illness, has died, the Washington Post reports. Sepúlveda reportedly got her wish, dying by euthanasia on Saturday. Her death came just hours after that of Victor Escobar , the first person in the country to publicly die by euthanasia. Like Sepúlveda, Escobar’s illness was not terminal.
Sepúlveda first made headlines in October when it was announced that she had a euthanasia appointment scheduled despite the fact that she did not have a terminal illness. She suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig’s disease, a condition that had left her unable to move her legs. While her medical situation reduced her quality of life, people with the condition can live for years and are not considered terminally ill. Still, her family and lawyers say that she lived in fear about living in constant pain and what the future might hold, so she sought to die.
Sepúlveda’s planned death was much publicized, but the courts rescinded their permission for her to be euthanized at the last minute after video footúage showed her laughing and eating out at restaurants. At that time, the courts decided that she clearly wasn’t suffering as much as she had depicted. However, Sepúlveda appealed, and the courts ended up allowing her euthanasia at a time of her choosing.

Despite Sepúlveda’s insistence to die, she also claimed to be a devout Catholic. “I know that God is the owner of life,” she told Colombia’s Caracol News. “But God doesn’t want to see me suffer.” She even requested that her family attend mass in the hours after her death. This type of thinking is […]
Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
