Former Secretary of State and retired Gen. Colin Powell has died at age 84, his family announced Monday.
Article by Zachary Stieber from our premium news partners at The Epoch Times.
Powell “passed away this morning due to complications from COVID-19,” the family said in a statement.
The death came despite Powell being fully vaccinated against the virus that causes COVID-19. Powell was being cared for at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
“We want to thank the medical staff at Walter Reed National Medical Center for their caring treatment. We have lost a remarkable and loving husband, father, grandfather and a great American,” the family said.
Walter Reed did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Powell, born on April 5, 1937, in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood, served for 35 years in the Army, including two tours in Vietnam.
He was part of the Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush administrations, with positions including national security adviser, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and secretary of state.
Powell was a Republican but had grown increasingly disenchanted with the party, appearing at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in 2020 and endorsing then-candidate Joe Biden over incumbent Donald Trump.
Condolences began coming in Monday after news of Powell’s death spread.
“He was a great public servant, starting with his time as a soldier during Vietnam. Many Presidents relied on General Powell’s counsel and experience,” former President George W. Bush said on Twitter.

“This is hitting me hard. Colin Powell was a statesman who put his country & family above all else. As a young Black man, he inspired me & showed that there are no limits to what we can be or achieve. Sending my prayers to his family. Rest In Peace,” added Jaime Harrison, the chair of the DNC.

Covid variant BA.5 is spreading. It appears milder but much more contagious and evades natural immunity. Best to boost your immune system with new Z-Dtox and Z-Stack nutraceuticals from our dear friend, the late Dr. Vladimir Zelenko.
Powell was a phony RINO! He took credit for Kuwait when it was Schwartenegger who was the actual brains behind our success. I would pee on Powell’s grave!
Please explain how do they know he died from covid complications.
His place in Hell, next to McCaine.
Vaccine does not help to War Criminals and Nazi-Zionists.
He was old enogh to die but… poor Powel, he will be remembered for eternity with that
small container of garlic powder in his hand in the headquarters of the united nations beging for war!
YEP, the Woke Poke doesn’t care what color you are or if your a Commie-it’ll Kill You Regardless! So now Brandon wants to get your children in his, “KAK PROGRAM!” Kill American Kids! So if you have evil, rebellious, spoiled children- you can get them to “KAK” & they won’t be disrespectful to you ever again!
Great Observation Mikhail! Hard to outrun Satan when you are one of his followers!
he had a lot of health complications; the Covid nonsense is a politicized announcement
Heil HITLER to the dead motherfucker colin
I am a conservative and also heard that Powell’s health was compromised. We can win back the nation with facts and integrity alone without resorting to omissions or lies as Democrats do. I was corrected by a Democrat on this matter and had to admit I was wrong.
Von Spricen -charlatan should be locked now!
Hitler – Stalin – Chrustchow – Breschnew – (Gorbatschow is spared) – Yurievitch.
And where did you pick up this “Nazi Zionist” – Think you should go back to your HokePoke school. Back in good old Russia you would get a good Workplace in Siberia – or in the Archipel Gulag – You ignorant Clown.
That is because the covid shots are not vaccines. Anyone using the term Vaccine to describe these covid shots is intentionally lying: that includes biden, the surgeon general, the CDC, and FDA. Further they all know they are lying.
There should be criminal charges, trials and resultant hangings for even using the term
Nowhere was it ever intimated that Gen Powell died of Covid !!! Also this is very old “newss”. and arrived in my mail today. Dec 26th. So do not contact me again ! DO NOT CONTACT ME AGAIN
nowhere on mainstream media is this being shown
Wondering which subject is most important to America?
