Corona the Crow, Part Four

*

Corona the Crow, Part One https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2022/06/10/corona-the-crow/

Part Two https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2022/12/06/corona-the-crow-part-two/

Part Three https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2023/01/02/corona-the-crow-part-three/

PART FOUR of the Crow is going to focus on corona as empirical technology, particularly as a medical paradigm of being taken by the head — physically, psychologically and socially. Hopefully, as a reader, the preceding parts of this series have adequately demonstrated that Corona the Crow stems from ancient ideas about the human mind. Brain anatomy is loaded with crow words; cortex, cerebrum, and claustrum, for example, nested under your cranium. “Psi,” the crow-foot (or fish spear) letter from the Greek alphabet, is a symbol for the mind, adopted by societies of medicalized psychology.  The word ‘medical’ is itself an English latecomer, elaborated from the Latin word for ‘mediate’—medlare, to meddle– and the older Middle English word ‘medic’ which defined leguminous food plants like beans, subject to plantation methods in the birth of civilizations. A plant medic, according to my dictionary, has a distinctive structure of trifoliate leaves symbolized by example as the stylized Fleur-de-Lis: “fleur-de-lis, (French: “lily flower”) , also spelled fleur-de-lys, also called flower-de-luce…much used in ornamentation and, particularly, in heraldry, long associated with the French crown…” as a gift from the Virgin Mary, no less, who maintains her original status with me as a transplanted sea-bird. https://www.britannica.com/topic/fleur-de-lis .

Luce, of course, is the seemingly familiar root word meaning ‘light,’ but its actual Middle French/English origins identify it with a fish (the pike) as it remains, representing a large family of freshwater specimens. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/luce ; https://www.britannica.com/animal/pike-fish. One can digress to Fisher Kings, Merovingian ‘mermaids’, holey (‘cro’) blood and the divine Right to Rule within our Clockwork of Time and Water, but I would sooner get on with Mind Control in its variable and loathsome permutations. That is what Corona is about.  Note in the 2018 documentary, The Minds of Men, this screen capture (minute 4) of the 1953 CIA-made film “Brain Warfare” starring Allen Dulles.

As Part Four progresses, I’ll be referencing The Minds of Men ( by Aaron and Melissa Dykes, 3hrs 43min, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQucESRF3Sg )–noting the filmmakers own emphasis on MK-Ultra Subproject 119. The gematria (numerical letter) value of 119 is also the sum of the words Crow (=59) plus Raven (=60), mentioned in Parts Two and Three along with a lot of other ‘1’s and ‘9’s.

If you wanted to be a fisher of luce men, so to speak, it would help to have a proper boat and a strong net …so, let’s recap the definition of corona from Part I:

“Derived from Greek κορώνη (korone) meaning ‘crow’ … In Greek mythology, Coronis (/kɒˈrəʊnɪs/; Greek: Κορωνίς, translit. Korōnís) is a Thessalian princess and a lover of Apollo… By Apollo she became the mother of Asclepius,[2][3][4][5] the Greek god of medicine…”

Aesculapius and others like him were … “sprung from an egg”… “where a serpent in an egg is introduced as a true emblem of this deity… the emblem Coronis must sometimes have had a reference to the same…yet…Coronis was certainly a name given by the poets and mythologists to a particular machine: the same in which the gods are supposed to have been enclosed and to have suffered a temporary death. Coronis is accordingly said to have been a vessel or float… By Coronis is signified a ship…”

…………… here’s a ‘serpent in an egg’………shipping………FYI, these are official images of coronavirus presented by the mass media.

In this recent April 30, 2023 interview with Maria Zeee, Dr. Stephanie Seneff proposes a mechanism for shipping ‘virus’ particles from the Covid-19 injection site in the arm along nerve fibers to the brain, proofing on the symptoms of fatal neurological diseases like Mad Cow, or Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) in humans, and ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or ‘Lou Gehrig’s’) seen in post-‘vax’ injuries during the early months of 2021.  The publishing source of these fatal effects came from an April 2021 paper co-authored by Luc Montagnier, mentioned at minute 36 by Dr. Seneff: “They know that it can cause a severe [fast-acting] form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, which is exactly what we’re seeing in those 26 patients that Luc Montagnier wrote about in the paper that got published after he died.”

Here’s the shipping statement in the transcript at minute 24–[Seneff:] “…That spike protein—it’s amazing because it looks like it’s been designed to be a bioweapon and it has so many toxic aspects to it that it’s disturbing to think [it can cause] your muscles to keep spewing out spike proteins and throwing it into exosomes and distributing it throughout your body… I want to get into this issue of distributing it along the nerve pathways, what I’ve come to believe, as a whole other topic [in addition to vaccine-carrying food plants] that I think I’ve finally gotten right…  [minute 27–] So, here’s the story: The muscle cells take up nanoparticles, which look like LDL particles and the muscles have LDL receptors so they take up the particles, open [them] up and start making spike protein…, spitting it out as exosomes and releasing them into the synapse. So now, the muscles which are enervated by motor neurons…which have super long thread[s] from the spinal cord –axons, well, those axons are at the synapse to cause muscles to contract…[and] in that synapse you have all those [muscle cell-made] exosomes…releasing spike protein…and mRNA…and the axon will take up those exosomes [even though] it won’t take up the nanoparticles [because axons] don’t have LDL receptors…but they will take up exosomes. So now, [axons are] taking up exosomes and there are active transport proteins –there’s a molecular motor called dynein which is in the axon—that specializes in shipping stuff up the axon through the soma of the cell which is in the spinal cord… [and the exosomes get packaged into what are called endosomes] ..and the exosomes survive inside the endosome —the whole package gets shipped up to the core of the nerve cell that’s controlling muscle movement…and up the spinal cord to the brainstem.” https://zeeemedia.com/interview/uncensored-dr-stephanie-seneff-can-mrna-bypass-our-stomach-acid-if-they-put-it-in-our-food/

For the moment, Dr. Seneff’s description of nerve cells shipping loaded particle packages “up your tree” sounds reminiscent of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee—yes! the T-Mobile Crow Show of last June with the overt lighting display of traveling DNA (linked in Part One). But there are many more correspondences related to this interview besides infection mechanics.  In 1953 when the CIA issued the Brain Warfare film, the poliovaccine was initialized at small-scale human testing– testing whether subjects could survive the shots. The next year in ’54, the test expanded to 1.8 million schoolchildren followed in ’55 by nationwide mass vaccination. In some of the coverage areas polio stats skyrocketed from 400% to 700% over pre-vaccine case numbers.

Here’s a brief excerpt posted at the Polio Forever blog from the book The Polio Paradox on the subject of latent, later-in-life post-polio, by Richard L. Bruno:

Chapter Three “The Guided Missile”…[p20] quoting researcher David Bodian: “The average number of spinal cord motor neurons that are destroyed by the poliovirus is almost 50%. However, nonparalytic polio may be associated with severe neuron damage in the spinal cord. What is more, some with nonparalytic poliomyelitis do not have any damage in the spinal cord but have characteristic damage in the brain, which is more extensive than in some who did have paralysis. All available evidence shows conclusively that every case of polio exhibits damage in the brain. The poliovirus is capable of producing an encephalitis, with or without symptoms, in the absence of any damage to the spinal cord. As far as the pathologist is concerned all cases of polio are encephalitic”. [p21] It’s amazing that something so small can do so much damage…But the poliovirus doesn’t attach to and damage just any cell. It is a ‘guided missile’ that does one thing: seek out, damage, and destroy the neurons that “activate” you –the ones that activate your brain and muscles. The poliovirus is the perfect human “Off switch”… https://polioforever.wordpress.com/the-polio-paradox/

Polio is fundamental to the fields of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neurology:

On the record, the disease we came to know as ‘polio’ in mid-century America arose with industrialization and occupational exposure to toxic metals and chemicals –prior to the 1850s, the ‘flaccid paralysis’ of acute illness was rare enough to be medically unknown. Small epidemics (10-20 cases) were first observed and recorded among iron-and-steel mill workers in Norway and Sweden. In the following decades, the spotty appearance of polio-like disability began to affect numerous industrial workers across the range of chemical users. One famous polio case in particular, “the French patient” youth who worked in the leather dye-solution vats at a tannery, virtually assured the ascending reputation of neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893) who classified several of the neurodegenerative diseases of the 20th century, among them ALS (Lou Gehrig’s) and Multiple Sclerosis. Polio, by historical measure, gave rise to the academic fields of Neurology and Psychology, a two-way schism that developed around the 1870s and onwards from the study of ‘neurasthenics’. In our corona Mind Control context, the 1901 founding of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (RIMR, renamed Rockefeller University) stands as the first milestone marker. RIMR’s establishment mission statement was to “pasteurize milk and study polio.” Almost no doctors in the U.S. had ever heard of poliomyelitis. In 1953, again, with the Salk vaccine in human testing and on the near horizon, the medical establishment altered polio’s diagnostic criteria. Even Franklin Delano Roosevelt posthumously had his polio changed to Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a top ranking ‘side effect’ of Covid-19 injections. As of today, I’ve learned that the most salient facts about polio are (1) that radiation exposure is a stand-alone cause, most likely by x-rays from the 1890s forward, and (2) the ‘germ’ was unknown until the mid-1950s following the vaccine and is most likely sourced from plants.

An update due to the polio pages which were posted back in 2011 requires another look to our crow friends who were felled in 1999 from a mosquito-borne contagion said to be West Nile Virus:  “West Nile virus hit American Crows particularly hard. When the disease first appeared in New York City, in summer 1999, nearly 5,500 crows died in 4 months. Tests suggested the disease was 100-percent fatal to crows. Many other species, from jays and magpies to gulls and chickadees, also proved susceptible. Millions of birds died as West Nile swept across the continent in just five years…” [2010 issue of BirdScope]” https://www.allaboutbirds.org/news/counting-crows-the-impact-of-the-west-nile-virus/#  

More recently than 2010, the WHO has added this highlight (in bold): “West Nile Virus (WNV) was first isolated in a woman in the West Nile district of Uganda in 1937. It was identified in birds (crows and columbiformes) in Nile delta region in 1953. Before 1997 WNV was not considered pathogenic for birds, but at that time in Israel a more virulent strain caused the death of different bird species presenting signs of encephalitis and paralysis… [In humans, the] symptoms of severe disease (called neuroinvasive disease, such as West Nile encephalitis or meningitis, or West Nile poliomyelitis) include headache, high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness and paralysis… Birds are the reservoir hosts…” https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/west-nile-virus ; the 1953 intel appears to be new.

Author of the 2017 book The Invisible Rainbow, Arthur Firstenberg, wrote, “In 1982 I was in my final year of medical school… One day I collapsed and was unable to get up… It wasn’t a heart attack, but it was six months before I could walk up a flight of stairs without becoming short of breath… I gradually found that I was being effectively disabled by my society. Having stumbled upon an obviously well-kept secret, I researched the world literature on bioelectromagnetics… together with other members of a support group I had found how best to live with my disability… But in July 1996, to my dismay, I learned that an innovation was coming to my city which threatened to make it impossible to avoid exposure any more… [On] November 14, 1996, Omnipoint, New York City’s first digital provider..open[ed] for business… According to health authorities, an early flu hit New York City –but not Boston and not Philadelphia– on about 15 November… I learned that in February 1996, Congress had passed a law prohibiting local governments from denying permits for cell phone antennae because of environmental concerns… I also learned that the FCC had just issued regulations setting public exposure limits for microwave radiation at levels..ten thousand times higher than levels..causing reports of illness from all over the world.” http://www.whale.to/b/elfb.html

Omnipoint, est.1987; “before Omnipoint, the use of encryption technology was mostly limited to  military communications. Omnipoint is the first and only company in the New York metropolitan area to use GSM – Global System for Mobile communications.” http://www.schneier.com/cmea-omnipoint.html

There is enough circumstantial evidence to suggest that Omnipoint’s Global System for Mobile (GSM) signal operations were among the mechanisms spreading West Nile and much of it is in the polio literature.

 “The GSM standard was accepted in the United States in 1995. GSM-1900 cellular systems have been operating in the US since 1996.” http://inventors.about.com/library/weekly/aa072199.htm

   Omnipoint’s “Personal Communications Systems, PCS..[was] a newer class of wireless..services..authorized by the FCC [which] use a different radio frequency, the 1.9 GHz band, than cellular phones and generally use all-digital technology for transmission and reception… In 1994, the FCC announced it was allocating spectrum specifically for PCS..” http://inventors.about.com/library/weekly/aa072199.htm

“PCS differs from existing cellular and SMR in three basic ways: frequency, spectrum and geographic division. PCS networks operates in a higher-frequency bank (1850-1990 MHz) compared to the cellular and SMR frequency (800-900 MHz). The higher frequency band for PCS networks requires a greater number of total cell sites to cover the same geographic area as existing cellular networks… http://www.hotstocked.com/companies/n/northeast-digital-networks-inc-GSMI-description-68560.html

Dec.1997–“In wireless, it is often said, coverage is king. Omnipoint has had its fair share of cell siting hassles. To get over objections, the carrier has placed its transceivers inside gargoyles on the facades of landmark buildings in Manhattan..http://www.rcrwireless.com/article/19971229/sub/rcrs-1997-person-of-the-year-george-schmitt-omnipoints-george-schmitt-burns-the-midnight-oil-to-build-pcs-firm/

New York’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) system could also be to blame: NYC “OEM frequencies transmit in a narrow range at 147 MHz.” http://www.dhses.ny.gov/oem/radiological/

…human neuroblastoma cells were exposed to electromagnetic radiation at 147 MHz, amplitude-modulated (AM) at 16 Hz… Enhanced efflux at 0.05 W/kg peaked at the 13-16 Hz and at the 57.5-60 Hz modulation ranges…These results confirm that…radiofrequency radiation can induce responses in cells of nervous tissue origin from widely different animal species, including humans…” http://www.scribd.com/doc/34980786/RF-Induced-Calcium-Ion-Efflux-Enhancement-From-Neuroblastoma

Dr [Ross] Adey demonstrated how a 147-megahertz (MHz) field, which at tissue level had  an intensity of 0.8 milliwatts per square centimetre, caused an efflux or  release of calcium ions from the irradiated brain tissue…” http://www.whale.to/b/adey.html

In 2002 Omnipoint became T-Mobile https://www.reference.com/business-finance/omnipoint-communications-new-york-9e34507adf4eba25 ; Dr. Adey is one of several researchers in the 50s and 60s known to have participated in MK-Ultra Subproject 119.

MKULTRA Subproject 119

 “Activation of human behavior by remote means.”

” 2. Purpose of Project: To make a critical review of the literature and scientific development related to the interpretation of bioelectric signals from the human organism, and activation of human behavior by remote means. 3. Progress to Date: Satisfactory.”

_______________________________

Among the technical successors to MKULTRA’s Subproject 119 is optogenetics which in recent years has gone wireless thanks to a light-sensitive protein from algae called ChRmine (pronounced KAR-meen) described here by Karl Deisseroth, a leading researcher at Stanford. Listen through minute 25 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls07NZRJp6E ; It’s no longer necessary to cable a light source into the brain.  Deisseroth says of ChRmine: “you don’t have to bring in light powerbut you still have to bring in the gene.

min24: “…[Behaviors are] assembled from parts, just like anxiety, and are tunable and can be brought down to the physical elemental components using optogenetics. So that’s pretty interesting, but then ChRmine changes the [?’sass’?]. We do like the fiber optic method—we can bring in light to a particular region but the extreme light sensitivity of this new channelrhodopsin means we can even do noninvasive light delivery. Here’s an example of that: We can have the fiber optic completely outside the brain of the animal and we can target deep structures like the ventral-tegmental-area dopamine neurons. Using an electrode we can track how well we’re doing and we can actually drive these neurons, drive the action potentials of these neurons, without brain-penetrating hardware at all. In fact, you can use non-injection-based tricks to get the gene in too—we [already] have ways of getting [the genes] into the brain with an intravenous injection, and this was developed by a friend, post-doc grad student of mine named Vivianna Gradinaru…now at Caltech. So, you can do completely noninvasive deep fast control of neurons now. And that raises all kinds of questions…”

*

…and my question is: Were Covid vaccines shipping mRNA-making optogenetic ‘light’ proteins, and will there be more of it in future mRNA vaccines? Some potential visual clues about future mind control technology in the Dykes documentary seem very suggestive despite appearances of past history. The opsin proteins at issue are called channelrhodopsin 2, or ‘channel 2’ images, shown several times in the video but shown first at 1:19 (1hr 19 minutes plus 33 seconds precisely). A clue? Do they teach that in film school? The significance of movie timecodes and numbers is covered in Part Two where I had my initial Back to the Future moment with the Crow.

Bringing in the genes to optogentically modulate humans, they tell us, requires transfection:

“So, the technology is relatively simple. You take DNA from a microorganism, Chlamydomonas for example, and connect it with a promoter region from the cell of interest, pack it into a virus, inject the virus into the brain, and then you wait… and study the behavior…” —minute 29, from speaker Peter Hegemann, “Optogenetics: Illuminating the Path toward Causal Neuroscience”, a Harvard prize-giving presentation recorded in 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOKLMjuwlLo

Now that we have a working model of ‘muscle-to-axon’ infection mechanics on how to “inject the virus into the brain” let’s check back in with our White Raven researchers:

[Sep15, 2021]  “Biochemist Katalin Karikó and her colleague Drew Weissman were recently awarded a $3-million Breakthrough Prize for their work… Karikó, who is now senior vice president and head of RNA protein replacement therapies at BioNTech (the company that co-developed a COVID vaccine with Pfizer), and Weissman, a professor of vaccine research at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine, have just been awarded…for their work on modifying the genetic molecule RNA…  Karikó spent years on this research despite skepticism and a lack of funding. Ultimately, however, her efforts paid off…  Weissman and his colleagues had been working on an mRNA vaccine for influenza when word spread of a mysterious pathogen causing pneumonia in people in Wuhan, China, in late 2019. Weissman quickly realized this virus was a perfect candidate for an mRNA vaccine, and Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna soon pivoted to work on one. The rest is history… [said] KARIKÓ: ‘From 2018 we had worked with Pfizer to develop a vaccine for influenza. And we were already ready to start a clinical trial for that. But switching over to COVID, it was just a technical thing. And so it was already ready. If the pandemic had happened 20 years ago, you would need to have, physically, in your hands, a piece of the virus. So that would be a big delay. But commercial gene synthesis started about 20 years ago. Now you can just order a gene. You order DNA, and then you insert it into a [typically circular molecule of DNA called a] plasmid, and then you make RNA. But making the nanoparticle to deliver the mRNA is kind of challenging.’ [question:]The lipid nanoparticles were a key part of the technology to make it useful for vaccines, right? KARIKÓ: ‘In my view, yes. The lipid nanoparticle protects the mRNA outside the cell because, in the blood and everywhere, there are a lot of human enzymes that can degrade the RNA. Second, it helps it to enter because the [muscle] cell will pick up the particle. And then it is in the endosome [a membrane-bound compartment] in the immune cells, and then this lipid nanoparticle helps escape from the endosome to the cytoplasm [the solution inside cells] so the protein can be made. It is a very smart particle.’ ” https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/an-mrna-pioneer-discusses-how-her-work-led-to-the-covid-vaccines/

Influenza mRNA injections “already ready”:

From Redacted News, May 17, 2023: “It’s STARTING—the NEXT pandemic is here & children are the target says Bill Gates” [17 minutes]: “…”it’s coming and right on cue the UK government today, this morning, announced it’s testing for a new avian flu outbreak… watch [this UK news clip announcer]…”it regards bird flu…and a real concern about it being passed from wild birds to housed poultry…and now…in two people…” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PqlzOVfciQ

      Bird Flu, H1N1 –or “Have 1, Need One World or None” and counting:

H1N1 (2009)– a visual match for coronavirus

..or…coming to a theater near you… H5N1 Bird Flu [posted May 21, 2023] “…scientists have long considered H5N1 to have pandemic potential. The U.S. has a stockpile of H5N1 flu shots in case such a crisis arises, but…[t]he shots have only been administered in trials and were derived from strains that circulated in 2004 and 2005… [It’s] suggested that a bird flu pandemic would most likely start as a small outbreak among poultry workers or swine workers, since pigs can pass the virus from birds to humans…  Moderna said that later this year, it expects to begin clinical testing of an mRNA vaccine specific to the strain now circulating in birds, called 2.3.4.4b… a universal flu vaccine, which would target a wide variety of flu strains, could also provide cross-protection against whatever version of bird flu one day finds its way into humans. Several such vaccines are being developed… The National Institutes of Health announced this month that it has started testing a universal mRNA flu vaccine among 50 volunteers.” https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/bird-flu-spreads-people-existing-vaccines-may-inadequate-rcna72973

H5N1

H5N1 labeled here, showing both ‘rod and sphere’ forms apparently, is looking very much like Wikipedia’s pictures of Halobacterium, the light-activated ‘opsin’  protein carrier discovered in the 1960s as the first optogenetic tool in the toolkit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halobacterium_salinarum ; https://microbewiki.kenyon.edu/index.php?title=Halophiles&redirect=no

The Disease Continuum is the title of a post I put up in 2011, having the negative distinction of being among the most ignored articles on the blog. Was it timing? The title?—maybe I was preparing for yet unnamed Covid. (#98 in BLOG INDEX)  I promised a serial, but never brought it back under the ‘continuum’ heading:

“In general terms, the mater materia of the Disease Continuum compares to the elements of the ancients [air, water, earth, fire]; four fundamental essences from which it is composed. By disease names they are influenza, polio, cancer and AIDS andtogether they forge a Ring of Power in the kingdom of Public Health. Common to the four elements of the Continuum is the eugenical substrate on which they emerge in history; they are timely, political, and as inevitable as the science and industry that sustains them. It should interest us that they are characterized as viral and not the foreign biological intruders we suppose. ‘We have travelled a long way from the mysterious filtrable infective particle of…years ago… [W]e have even the evidence that…portions of certain…viruses can be dissociated and later recombined to form a reconstituted infective particle… Clearly discoveries of this sort are providing the basis for an understanding of the host-virus relationship… For virus multiplication is after all a special case of protein biosynthesis… We seem thus to have reached a point at which biochemical and biophysical studies of viruses have really come into their own and offer the greatest prospects of advance.’ –Sir Charles Harington, March 1956, Ciba Foundation Symposium at the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR), Mill Hill London [ref. The Nature of Viruses, 1956, Little Brown & Co.]…

… Work on polioviruses helped to prove that intestinal “Enteroviruses can infect all tissues of the human body. The tropism of each virus for certain tissues is not well understood…”. Reconstituting pathogens in the form of gut bacteria and viruses was learned early. Simon Flexner designed experiments in 1897 to alter the properties of harvested human colon bacilli and turn them virulent several years before he became the director of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. Flexner’s cadavers in 1890s Baltimore, taken to the labs of the newly medicalized Johns Hopkins University, were mostly victims of pneumonia and influenza, a ready surfeit of bodies that littered the northern port cities of industrial America.  https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2009/07/30/enter-o-viruses/

[and]… we should remember the words of H.R. Shepherd, 1993 founding chairman of the Sabin Vaccine Institute:  ‘Vaccines are the most powerful tool available to equalize the health of human beings in every corner of the world. Enlightened leaders understand the power of vaccines to help bring peace and opportunity to the most troubled places…’ http://polioforever.wordpress.com/sabin-vaccine-institute/

   No story of great or worldly achievement in the 20th century seems complete or soluble without a reconciliation to public medicine. It electrifies the most compelling events of our time like the JFK assassination. https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2011/11/06/the-jfk-conspiracy-con/

   Edward Mandell House, the intimate alter-ego and adviser to Woodrow Wilson, was reputed to have said (prior to WWI), ‘Very soon, every American will be required to register their biological property in a national system designed to keep track of the people… They will be our chattel… stripped of their rights and given a commercial value…‘ “

[minute 1:21:56, The Minds of Men:] “When you run circles around the military’s technologically driven future, the nerves of the Army and Navy and Air Force, the communication networks of signals and intercepts…[and] when you run circles around the whole of human society and its various cycles of influence and modification…[and] the problem of the machine and man himself—once you go around and around the problem of feedback and cycles of behavior,…perception and reality, in the end the whole of Man can be controlled through his dependence on his environment.”

Schooling fish, waves on water…  appropos to the NET: (min 1:24 narration:) “Many of the cybernetics members [of the Macy Conferences] were now talking literally about constructing an artificial matrix… As Alex[ander] Bavelas of MIT noted in his group dynamics study, ‘We are attempting now to describe the operation of a net…as a matrix…’  (min1:09 narration:) Macy was meshing the power of language communication and the symbolic exchange of information with the biological modes of control…[over] the organization of the mind which might one day be conquered one neuron at a time.”(from The Minds of Men, part 2 Cybernetics minute 40 to 1hr38)

Indeed. Optogenetics today. Quoting Ed Boyden: “I also want to talk about how different technologies might fit together in this grand quest to understand the brain… I think we need to think about an integrated toolset…that lets us control the brain…[and] watch the brain in action and interestingly, tools in that nature are emerging from the optogenetic toolset itself… And as much as people have brought electrodes into the brain for over a century, you can bring in optical fibers or other kinds of optical devices. The next question is do you need to make a molecule that converts light to electricity or do you find it?…[We] found…a member of this [proton-pump] family [of organisms] from the archaerhodopsin class [that] if you genetically express it in neurons and then shine green or yellow light, will powerfully pump protons out of neurons and silence their activity [called hyperpolarization]… and you can shine blue light on neurons and let positive charge in and you can activate them, letting you investigate what those neurons are sufficient to trigger.” [called depolarization, or activation]–Edward Boyden, minutes 1:08 to 1:14, “Optogenetics Illuminating the Path…” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOKLMjuwlLo/ ; Archaerhodopsin-3 came from a species of fungus called Leptosphaeria maculans that had a light-driven proton pump, “and we got the gene that we nicknamed ‘Mac’ for short and we found that it was also able to silence neural activity” –like an ON/OFF switch—minute 1:16 ibid.

“Mutants of Archaerhodopsin-3 (AR3) are widely used as tools in optogenetics for neuroscience research…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaerhodopsin

*

“Leptosphaeria maculans is the most damaging pathogen of Brassica napus [canola],which is used as a feed source for livestock and for its rapeseed oil… As a bioengineering innovation, in 2010 it was shown that a light-driven protein from L. maculans could be used to mediate, alongside earlier reagents, multi-color silencing of neurons in the mammalian nervous system.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptosphaeria_maculans

” ‘Optogenetics borrows these light-sensitive proteins from plants and uses them in animal cells,’ said UI professor Kai Zhang, who developed the optogenetic tools for controlling mitochondria and lysosomes with blue light. ‘By attaching such proteins to organelles, one can use light to control the interaction between them, such as mitochondria and lysosomes shown in this work.’  … Further research from Zhang’s lab will include developing new optogenetic systems that work with different colors of light, including green, red, and infrared, since a longer wavelength will be needed to penetrate human tissue.
‘We would like to further expand the toolbox by introducing multicolor optogenetic systems to give us multiple ways to control how organelles behave and interact,’ Zhang said. ‘For instance, one color makes organelles come together, while the other color forces them apart. This way, we can precisely control their interactions.’ The team hopes to progress from using human stem cells for its research to testing the efficacy of its technique in animal models, as a step toward eventually testing the technique in humans through clinical trials. Diao said that other research groups are studying the use of magnetic fields and acoustic vibrations to accomplish results similar to the team’s light-based technique.https://www.photonics.com/Articles/Optogenetic_Tools_Restore_Cell_Function_with_Blue/a68295

And, of course, it’s not just food plant fungi yielding up more and more ‘light’ proteins as the haloarchaea prove:   “Traditionally, Archaea were isolated from extreme environments where they are dominant, but recently they have been detected in nearly all environments examined using culture-independent techniques. Methanogenic Archaea are present in the mammalian gut and oral cavities… halophilic Archaea, such as Halobacterium, were isolated from salted protein sources such as fish sauces and animal hides.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B9780123739445001085

“Haloarchaea is …mostly predominant in the gut of people who live in Korea. Haloarchaea are most abundant in Koreans guts rather than methanogens due to their saltier diets. This also shows that the archaeome in the human gut can vary drastically depending on region and what is eaten…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haloarchaea ; Confirming the dominant presence of haloarchaea in Koreans is this :[August 04, 2020]… “We surveyed the archaeome of faecal samples collected from 897 East Asian subjects living in South Korea. In total, 42.47% faecal samples were positive for archaeal colonization… We observed extensive colonization of haloarchaea (95.54%) in the archaea-positive faecal samples… Haloarchaea were relatively more abundant than methanogens in some samples…” https://microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40168-020-00894-x/

Strange it seems, but information like this adds to my speculation that the Halloween “Seoul Crush” reported on 10-29-22 was a Li-Fi event (see the number play at the end of Crow Part Two—“examples of 119s”)

[same 2020 paper on Koreans archaeome:]“Information regarding the community-based genetic and functional traits of archaea in animal habitats is scarce. We have previously reported occurrences of diverse members of extremely halophilic archaea (haloarchaea) in avian plumage** [13], as well as in food samples such as salt-fermented seafood…” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7409454/ ; **“Flamingoes (Phoenicopterus spp.) whose plumage displays elegant colors, inhabit warm regions close to the ocean throughout the world… In this study, viable red-colored archaeal strains classified as extremely halophilic archaea (i.e., haloarchaea) and belonging to the genera Halococcus and Halogeometricum were isolated from the plumage of flamingoes in captivity… To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of viable extremophilic archaea in avian plumage…”   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26553382/

In you, on you, and around you, Halophiles: Salt of the Earth…

“Several natural environments across the globe are enriched in salt and considered hypersaline… Typical examples of such environments include shallow coastal areas such as salterns and coastal lagoons, salt flats, as well as a variety of isolated salt lakes and bigger water bodies (e.g. Great Salt Lake, Dead Sea). Less obvious salty environments include pickled food, some typical fermented products used in oriental cuisine, as well as the surfaces of salt-excreting desert or coastal shrubs, human or animal skin, and other places exposed to periodical drying… These organisms are collectively referred to as halophiles. Archaea are traditionally perceived as the typical inhabitants of hypersaline environments. Halophilic Archaea (mostly members of euryarchaeal class Halobacteria) are very successful, and thrive under extremely high salinities all the way up to saturation. Members of this group are particularly diverse and are known for their unusual morphologies. Despite this clear archaeal dominance, halophiles are present in all three domains of the Tree of Life: Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya… Some of the most innovative applications of halophiles are linked with bacteriorhodopsin. This molecule is a component of the photosynthetic system of several halophilic archaea, naturally occurring in a two-dimensional crystalline structure. Its chemical and thermal stability, together with its photosensitivity and photocyclicity, clearly surpass any current synthetic materials, making it an attractive source of applications, including holography, artificial retinas, neural networks, optical computing and new types of memories.[data storage].” https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322302376_Halophiles_The_salt_of_the_Earth

The shape-shifting morphology of  Haloarchaea “is comparable to that of bacteria and varies from rods, cocci, spirals to irregular shaped cells.”  Haloquadratum walsbyi (the squares shown center and right above) “is remarkable in that it forms an almost perfect quadrate flattened cell.” Other forms of the haloarchaea are shown below (A—D), and yes, some these individual varieties (if not all) change shape across multiple forms. Compare the images of H. salinarum shown in the post.

In the Beginning of “Early Evolution on Earth — During the first half of Earth’s history, stretching over 2 billion years, dramatic and long-lasting evolutionary inventions occurred through processes that we are only beginning to understand (Fig. 1; Deamer, Reference Deamer2011; Knoll, Reference Knoll2015). They include prebiotic evolution and the development of cellularity, the foundation of the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) and evolution of the universal genetic code… [In] this paper, we discuss a speculative hypothesis for early evolution, called the ‘Purple Earth,’ which posits the rise of retinal pigment-based phototrophic life forms on Earth’s surface prior to anoxygenic and oxygenic photosynthesis.” https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/international-journal-of-astrobiology/article/early-evolution-of-purple-retinal-pigments-on-earth-and-implications-for-exoplanet-biosignatures/63A1AD8AF544BEEF4C6D4A2D53130327 ;  The Purple Earth hypothesis is an astrobiological hypothesis that photosynthetic life forms of early Earth were based on the simpler molecule retinal rather than the more complex chlorophyll, making Earth appear purple rather than green.[1][2] An example of retinal-based organisms that exist today are the photosynthetic microbes collectively called Haloarchaea.[3] That time would date somewhere between 2.4 and 3.5 billion years ago, prior to the Great Oxygenation Event.[4] Many Haloarchaea contain the retinal protein, bacteriorhodopsin, in their purple membrane which carries out light-driven proton pumping, generating a proton-motive gradient across the cell membrane and driving ATP synthesis. The haloarchaeal purple membrane constitutes one of the simplest known bioenergetic systems for harvesting light energy. Retinal-containing purple membrane exhibits a single light absorption peak centered in the green-yellow energy-rich region of the visible spectrum, but allows transmission of red and blue light, resulting in a deep purple color… The Purple Earth hypothesis has great implications for the search for extraterrestrial life. …suggest[ing] that search methods should be expanded to planets reflecting blue and red light, since evolution of retinal-based photosynthesis is also probable, if not more likely than the evolution of chlorophyllic systems.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_Earth_hypothesis

[2018] “Attempts to estimate when early life gained the ability to make the pigment [bacteriorhodopsin] – using a genetic mutation analysis technique called the “molecular clock” – have been hazy thus far, but the evidence suggests it was very soon after life emerged some 4 billion years ago. Similarly, researchers are unsure about the precise timeframe of chlorophyll’s emergence, but we do know that it happened at some point before 2.3 billion years ago – when, due to a combination of poorly understood factors, existing single-celled photosynthetic algae suddenly took over the ecosystem, causing what is called the Great Oxygenation Event. According to DasSarma and Schwieterman… ‘Evolution of anoxygenic photosynthesizers was followed by oxygenic photosynthesizing cyanobacteria and ultimately eukaryotic algae and plants,’ they wrote. ‘The development of eukaryotic algae and complex plants and their spread throughout the terrestrial environment allowed the evolution of land animals and ultimately intelligent life… This is exactly what got us thinking that the two pigments – retinal and chlorophyll – may have co-evolved,’ DasSarma added. To further investigate the “Purple Earth” hypothesis, he and Schwieterman propose future work focusing on natural communities of retinal-based phototrophs in diverse environments, as this may reveal unexpected roles and niches for this metabolism and inform its evolutionary origin.” https://www.iflscience.com/earths-first-life-forms-may-have-made-the-planet-purple-50225

Credit for ‘cornering’ and sequencing the archaeal LUCA ancestor gene was “the greatest scientist you’ve never heard of”Carl R.Woese (1928–2012), whom PBS/Nova called “The Man Who Rewrote the Tree of Life… having received a PhD in biophysics from Yale in 1953, Woese believed that there had to be a more objective, data-driven way to classify life… He arrived at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign as a microbiologist in the mid-1960s, shortly after James Watson and Francis Crick won the Nobel prize for their characterization of DNA’s double-helix form [in 1953]… In 1969, Woese wrote a letter to Crick, stating that: ‘…what I want to do is to determine primary structures for a number of genes in a very diverse group of organisms, on the hope that by deducing rather ancient ancestor sequences for these genes, one will eventually be in the position of being able to see features of the cell’s evolution.’… To create his evolutionary tree of life, then, Woese would need to choose a gene that was present in every known organism, one that was copied from generation to generation with a high degree of precision and mutated very slowly, so he would be able to track it over billions of years of evolution… Woese had several different rRNA molecules to choose from in the various subunits, which are classified based on their length. At around 120 nucleotides long, 5S rRNA wasn’t big enough to use to compare lots of different organisms. On the other end of the spectrum, 23S rRNA was more than 2300 nucleotides long, making it far too difficult for Woese to sequence using the technologies of the time. The Goldilocks molecule—long enough to allow for meaningful comparisons but not too long and difficult to sequence—was 16S rRNA in prokaryotes and its slightly longer eukaryotic equivalent, 18S rRNA. Woese decided to use these to create his quantitative tree of life. His choice was especially fortuitous, Eisen says, because of several factors inherent in 16S rRNA that Woese couldn’t have been aware of at the time, including its ability to measure evolutionary time on several different time scales. Certain parts of the 16S rRNA molecule mutate at different speeds. Changes to 16S rRNA are, on the whole, still extremely slow (humans share about 50% of their 16S rRNA sequence with the bacterium E. coli ), but one portion mutates much more slowly than the other. It’s as if the 16S rRNA clock has both an hour hand and a minute hand…”  https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/article/carl-woese/

16S rRNA gene is universally encoded in all bacterial chromosomes.” https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0202049

Carl Woese’s achievement for science was to find an undiscovered universe, a third New Kingdom of lifeforms whose genetic bounty suffuses other lifeforms like a parallel dimension: “In 1977, Carl Woese and George Fox published a brief paper in PNAS that established, for the first time, that the overall phylogenetic structure of the living world is tripartite… A fundamental breakthrough in biological science occurred in 1977, and most biologists did not notice… Several aspects of the paper by Woese and Fox (1) sparked skepticism. One was the arcane nature of the molecular data, which few could appreciate. The reliance on a single gene to trace major trends in evolution was an equally alien concept…” https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1109716109

But not for long.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a technology for determining the sequence of DNA or RNA to study genetic variation…  Introduced for commercial use in 2005, this method …enabled… the interrogation of hundreds to thousands of genes at one time in multiple samples…quickly and cost-effectively… The speed, throughput, and accuracy of NGS has revolutionized genetic analysis…” https://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/sequencing/sequencing-learning-center/next-generation-sequencing-information/ngs-basics/what-is-next-generation-sequencing.html

[2019] “NGS methodology has been increasingly employed in the clarification of microbiota, especially in the gut. There are primarily two ways to detect bacterial DNA by using NGS methods. One approach is metagenome sequencing, which examines whole DNA of the microbial communities within a given sample without isolation or cultivation of individual species. The second approach is amplicon sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene (16S rRNA amplicon sequencing) since the 16S rRNA gene is universally encoded in all bacterial chromosomes.”https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0202049

Here’s a brief gene sequencing tech timeline (from 1972 to the present) and the currently developing Third Generation (TGS) for single gene analysis https://frontlinegenomics.com/a-brief-history-of-next-generation-sequencing-ngs/

And when they find the genes of interest, they go fishing:

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) provides researchers with a way to visualize and map the genetic material in an individual’s cells, including specific genes or portions of genes… FISH is useful, for example, to help a researcher or clinician identify where a particular gene falls within an individual’s chromosomes. The first step is to prepare short sequences of single-stranded DNA that match a portion of the gene the researcher is looking for. These are called probes. The next step is to label these probes by attaching one of a number of colors of fluorescent dye.DNA is composed of two strands of complementary molecules that bind to each other like chemical magnets. Since the researchers’ probes are single-stranded, they are able to bind to the complementary strand of DNA, wherever it may reside on a person’s chromosomes. When a probe binds to a chromosome, its fluorescent tag provides a way for researchers to see its location.” (from the Human Genome Research Institute) https://www.genome.gov/about-genomics/fact-sheets/Fluorescence-In-Situ-Hybridization

The Covid injection samples below look like salt

Is COVID technology messing with your salt?

Sodium, most of us know, is a key electrolyte in the proper function of our hearts, brains and cells. The body endeavors to continuously balance an optimal level of sodium by triggering its systems of fluid management. Most disruptions of sodium concentration in the blood lead to a state of hyponatremia which can be quickly fatal by seizures, heart and respiratory failure. I’ll leave you with some interactive Wikipedia links to make a quick study of problems and symptoms (mostly neurological and cardiac effects), and offer this glimpse of named conditions in sodium deficiency:

“Hyponatremia is a very common electrolyte disorder, especially in the elderly, and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and disability. In particular, the consequences of acute hyponatremia on the brain may be severe, including permanent disability and death. Also chronic hyponatremia can affect the health status, causing attention deficit, gait instability, increased risk of falls and fractures, and osteoporosis. Furthermore, an overly rapid correction of hyponatremia can be associated with irreversible brain damage, which may be the result of the osmotic demyelination syndrome.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4470176/

“Central pontine myelinolysis : “patients may present with the neurological signs and symptoms of hyponatraemic encephalopathy such as nausea and vomiting, confusion, headache and seizures. These symptoms may resolve with normalisation of the serum sodium concentration. …The classical clinical presentation is the progressive development of spastic quadriparesis, pseudobulbar palsy, and emotional lability (pseudobulbar affect), with other more variable neurological features associated with brainstem damage. These result from a rapid myelinolysis of the corticobulbar and corticospinal tracts in the brainstem…In about ten per cent of people with central pontine myelinolysis, extrapontine myelinolysis is also found. In these cases symptoms of Parkinson’s disease may be generated.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_pontine_myelinolysis ;

Hyponatremia or hyponatraemia is a low concentration of sodium in the blood…Symptoms can be absent, mild or severe. Mild symptoms include a decreased ability to think, headaches, nausea, and poor balance.[1][3] Severe symptoms include confusion, seizures, and coma; death can ensue.The causes of hyponatremia are typically classified by a person’s body fluid status into low volume, normal volume, or high volume.[4] Low volume hyponatremia can occur from diarrhea, vomiting, diuretics, and sweating.[4] Normal volume hyponatremia is divided into cases with dilute urine and concentrated urine.[4] Cases in which the urine is dilute include adrenal insufficiency, hypothyroidism, and drinking too much water or too much beer. Cases in which the urine is concentrated include syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH).[4] High volume hyponatremia can occur from heart failure, liver failure, and kidney failure.[4] Conditions that can lead to falsely low sodium measurements include high blood protein levels such as in multiple myeloma, high blood fat levels, and high blood sugar.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyponatremia

“…Causes of SIADH include conditions that dysregulate ADH secretion in the central nervous system, tumors that secrete ADH, drugs that increase ADH secretion, and many others. A list of common causes [includes]… Infections, Meningitis, encephalitis, brain abscess, rocky mountain spotted fever, AIDS, Perinatal asphyxia, Mass / bleed Trauma, subarachnoid hemorrhage, subdural hematoma, cavernous sinus thrombosis, Hydrocephalus, Guillain–Barré syndrome, Acute porphyria (acute intermittent porphyria, hereditary coproporphyria, variegate porphyria), Multiple system atrophy, Multiple sclerosis, Cancers …” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndrome_of_inappropriate_antidiuretic_hormone_secretion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_salt-wasting_syndrome

“Hyponatremia would be common in patients who underwent radiotherapy for head and neck cancer” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666555721000046    

–and that could apply to any irradiation of the head or body, even in times past by X-rays.

Intermittent hyponatremia occurs in a significant subset of patients with psychotic disorder as a consequence of a marked primary polydipsia and relatively minor and transient impairments in water excretion that appear linked to the underlying mental illness. Hyponatremia does occur in many other psychiatric patients as a consequence of medication-induced impairments in water excretion, which may or may not be aggravated by primary polydipsia. While effective preventative measures have been introduced, hyponatremia is frequently undetected in psychiatric patients, making the recognition and proper management an important, yet neglected, aspect of patient care.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4614-6645-1_9

“Polydipsia is excessive thirst or excess drinking.[1] The word derives from the Greek πολυδίψιος (poludípsios) “very thirsty”,[2] which is derived from πολύς (polús, “much, many”) + δίψα (dípsa, “thirst”). Polydipsia is a nonspecific symptom in various medical disorders. It also occurs as an abnormal behaviour in some non-human animals, such as in birds.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polydipsia

…thirsty birds.

   

In 2007, with Next-Gen Sequencing in hand, Congress passed the NIH Reform Act:  “January 15, 2007 President Bush signed H.R. 6164 as P.L. 109-482, the National Institutes of Health Reform Act of 2006, affirming the importance of NIH and its vital role in advancing biomedical research…” https://www.nih.gov/about-nih/who-we-are/nih-reauthorization ; The following month, an organizational conference was held from February 9 to 11 called The Uncharted Microbial World and at the end of the year, on December 19, 2007, the NIH launched the Human Microbiome Project.

Feb 9-11, 2007- “The Uncharted Microbial World” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK562611/

“NIH Launches Human Microbiome Project” https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-launches-human-microbiome-project

[Oct 2007] “The human microbiome project (HMP) reflects the fact that we are supraorganisms composed of human and microbial components. This international effort emanates from a confluence of ongoing technical and computational advances in the genome sciences… It is a global and interdisciplinary project that promises to break down the artificial barriers between medical and environmental microbiology… The human microbiome project (HMP) is an imposing yet logical conceptual and experimental extension of the human genome project… [that] will provide us with the parameters needed to design, implement and monitor strategies for intentionally manipulating our microbiota…” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3709439/

On the heels of the HMP came the formalization of the Earth Microbiome Project in 2010:

“Mapping the Microbiome of everything” –“The Earth Microbiome Project was founded in 2010 by Rob Knight, PhD, professor and director of the Center for Microbiome Innovation at UC San Diego; Jack Gilbert, PhD, professor and faculty director of The Microbiome Center at University of Chicago and group leader in Microbial Ecology at Argonne National Laboratory [partner with FermiLab synchrotron]; Rick Stevens, PhD, associate laboratory director at Argonne…and senior fellow at University of Chicago; and Janet Jansson, PhD, chief scientist for biology and laboratory fellow at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory [PNNL, the former Hanford Plutonium Works in Richland WA]…‘The potential applications for this database and the types of research questions we can now ask are almost limitless,’ Knight said.” https://www.uchicagomedicine.org/forefront/research-and-discoveries-articles/mapping-the-microbiome-of-everything 

 “Microbes en Masse…”[July 11, 2012] “Faeces, lizards, keyboards, faces — Rob Knight likes to sequence the microbes on anything and everything. Next, he plans to sequence Earth… Since 2010, Knight has been involved with the most ambitious effort yet to probe the microbiota: the Earth Microbiome Project, a collaborative effort to sequence… at least 200,000 environmental samples such as soils and water collected from around the world. He says that the project, which is led by Jack Gilbert…at the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois, will yield a master list of the proteins required to sustain microbial life across the planet;  about 500,000 reconstructed microbial genomes; and the makings of a global-scale model of microbial metabolism… Knight’s work certainly can make a splash: in 2010, the popular detective television programme CSI: Miami featured a technique developed by Knight and Noah Fierer, a microbial ecologist at Boulder, with which they matched individuals to the unique bacterial fingerprints that they left on computer keyboards11 (see ‘CSI: Microbes’). Knight’s team also attracted attention with as-yet unpublished work mapping the microbes that carpet the human face from forehead to lips…  Knight says that all his studies have a serious intent. The time-series data, for example, showed that there was vastly more variation within one person’s microbiota than expected… Janet Jansson, a microbial ecologist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California, [is] encouraging microbiologists worldwide to send in samples. They have already received some 60,000, ranging from deep-sea sediments from the Pacific Ocean to owl nests from Alaska… The plan, [Knight] says, is to collect a number of hypothesis-driven data sets, such as samples collected in pristine and disturbed areas… To that end, Knight continues to collect samples whenever he has the chance; later this month, for example, he will be scraping up microbial ‘mats’, which are among the most diverse communities known, from hypersaline waters off the Californian coast…  Knight has other ventures on the boil. In one project, he is exploring whether gut microbial communities can influence mental health by, for example, changing the signaling patterns between the gut and brain. “My family has schizophrenia on one side and bipolar disorder on the other,” he says, “which has led to my interest in trying to figure out whether we could potentially address those conditions.’ With Gordon and Lozupone, he is also part of a global network for the study of malnutrition and intestinal diseases, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in Seattle, Washington… Gilbert says that the research community faces a challenge in keeping up with Knight… “I think we’ll look back at him as a pioneer.” https://www.nature.com/articles/487156a#author-information

Going for the gut is nothing new. In 1896 a paper co-authored by Simon Flexner of the Rockefeller Institute begins, “The intestine, as will appear from these statements, is regarded as the portal of entry..[for] bacteria found in the inflamed peritoneum [and] also of some of those present in the pleura, upon the heart valves, and within the organs [of deceased on autopsy]…It has been found that these bacteria wander through the intestinal walls…where lesions of the intestinal mucosa exist… The majority of cases of acute pericarditis and acute endocarditis are found at the autopsy to be associated with pneumonia…” (https://collections.nlm.nih.gov/ext/dw/101317127/PDF/101317127.pdf )  In 1947, the eminent influenza researcher Frank Macfarlane Burnet recommended to his Australian government the use of intestinal agent bioweapons. (see the Influenza Special at the margin).

The great harvest for Big Science of the Microbiome expeditions, I contend, has to be the AMPs, another Rockefeller-sponsored endeavor based on the work of Rene Dubos, who discovered and isolated the first commercial antibiotics from Brevibacillus brevis in 1939. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Dubos

“Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs): Ancient compounds that represent novel weapons in the fight against bacteria” –[June 2017]  Antimicrobial peptides (AMPS) are short peptide molecules produced by most living creatures. They help unicellular organisms to successfully compete for nutrients with other organisms sharing their biological niche, while AMPs form part of the immune system of multicellular creatures. Thus, these molecules represent biological weapons that have evolved over millions of years as a result of an escalating arms race for survival… hence, the appearance of resistance to these antimicrobials is rare…” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S000629521630301X?via%3Dihub

“Accurate and fast structure prediction of peptides of less [than] 40 amino acids in aqueous solution has many biological applications, but their conformations are pH- and salt concentration-dependent…” https://academic.oup.com/nar/advance-article/doi/10.1093/nar/gkad376/7160202?login=false

The engineering of micro-environments for salt and peptides appears to be a key feature of the biotech industry since the 1980s, contemporary with the major discoveries of opsin peptides from the haloarchaea and algae. Nowadays it’s become commonplace for the proteinaceous passengers in tiny salt vessels to be advantageously affected by the incorporation of artificial (non-natural, non-canonical) amino acids or nucleic acids in their design, giving them a survival edge in the Re-creation plan. If I’m reading it right, the ‘salt-box’ concept is to hold their activity in stasis through the ‘shipping’ stage by maintaining a salt environment until they can offload at their destination and reactivate. In some cases, possibly, for biosensor purposes or horizontal gene transfer, the salt package may be intended for a long-lasting voyage in your body. As Karen Kingston describes in Final Days, this technology is meant to function inside you but biologically independent of you, like a parallel dimension under intelligent control –a Second Life sharing your biological niche.

[2013]…” Here, we describe a strategy to boost salt resistance and serum stability of short antimicrobial peptides by adding the nonnatural bulky amino acid β-naphthylalanine to their termini…” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23716061/

[2021] ”…In this work, we present a novel approach to include explicit water and salt in sequence-dependent coarse-grained (CG) models for proteins and RNA, enabling the study of biomolecular condensate formation in a salt-dependent manner… and to consider their key role in biomolecular condensate self-assembly.” https://pubs.aip.org/aip/jcp/article/155/12/125103/200724/Salt-dependent-phase-behavior-of-intrinsically

Rebooting life: engineering non-natural nucleic acids, proteins and metabolites in microorganisms” [2022]—“The surging demand of value-added products has steered the transition of laboratory microbes to microbial cell factories (MCFs) for facilitating production of large quantities of important native and non-native biomolecules. This shift has been possible through rewiring and optimizing different biosynthetic pathways in microbes by exercising frameworks of metabolic engineering and synthetic biology principles… to meet various therapeutic, biotechnological and industrial applications…” https://microbialcellfactories.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12934-022-01828-y

According to Klaus Schwab (a name with a rough meaning of ‘flying talons’ or ‘attack from above’, born in Ravensburg), speaking at the 2023 World Government Summit: “... It’s just now that we move into the exponential phase… Whoever masters these technologies will be the master of the world.” –minute 30 of Final Days.

Watch the new documentary Final Days featuring Karen Kingston ( beginning at minute 24) where she highlights the practice of Directed Evolution: (min55) “In the very near future you’re going to be hearing this new term Directed Evolution… Directed Evolution is Transhumanism [and] if you are forcing nonhuman genetic mutations to our genome, you’re exterminating the human species.” https://www.stewpeters.com/video/2023/05/live-8-pm-et-final-days-worldwide-premiere/

Here’s an example of a typical research paper—

“Directed evolution of  rRNA improves translation kinetics and recombinant protein yield” [Sep2021] “Here, we evolve 16S ribosomal RNAs…from Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Vibrio cholera towards enhanced protein synthesis rates…Directed evolution of ribosomal rRNA…towards unnatural bioactivities has highlighted plasticity in the cellular translation apparatus.

END Notes, Part Four

The Shippers – The Allens and Rockefellers built their fortunes on shipping. Most of the high-tech mind control mentioned in The Minds of Men was funded under Navy contracts which operated the ONR, Office of Naval Research, whose establishment is attributed to Kuhn Loeb & Co banker Admiral Lewis L. Strauss. Strauss was Truman’s first choice of Atomic Energy Commission member in 1946. Not mentioned at all in The Minds of Men was Strauss’s hand-picked successor to the AEC, John A. McCone who became Allen Dulles’s replacement at CIA when JFK extended the offer, accepted November 29, 1961. McCone was an ultra-wealthy commercial shipping magnate at the time, integral to the blog post Atomic Oswald Three as a stakeholder in nuclear weapons and traffick. www.jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2018/01/29/atomic-oswald-three/

To this day, more than 30 years after his death (on Feb 14, 1991) McCone’s CIA-crafted biography remains classified and researchers on his trail claim they are tracked and censored on the net (see ‘education forum’ posts about McCone by John Simkin), and apparently he is still benefitting from the plausible deniability required with his CIA tenure. McCone thereafter continued as a CIA ‘consultant.’ Throughout his known career from involvement in the Six Companies (under Bechtel) that built the Hoover Dam, McCone was an early sponsor of nuclear development (making direct payments to Ernest Lawrence at UCBerkeley), member of Bohemian Grove and Knight of Malta. McCone is credited with establishing CIA’s Office of Science and Technology.

For a look at the Knights of Malta see David Whitehead’s serial documentary Cult of the Medics.  https://www.cultofthemedics.com/chapters.html Whitehead, incidentally, inserts pictures of himself ‘one-eyed’ and ‘hooded’ so take that with a grain of salt.

Korea came under multi-state foreign rule during World War II and appears to continue as a subject experimental population. Most of us know the Korean War narrative (June 1950 to July 1953) ushered in the demand for the Nevada Test Site and the mind control projects Bluebird and MKUltra.

Feb 2023— “South Korea’s world lowest fertility rate drops again… as of 2020, South Korea was the only country among the OECD members to have a rate below 1, giving it a shrinking population.” https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/south-koreas-world-lowest-fertility-rate-drops-again-2023-02-22/

SALT has enormous symbolic importance throughout time. The History Channel began its Big History series with salt as the foundation of civilizations and cause of all ‘roads’ made from animal trails to salt sources. The English place-name suffix ‘—wich’(or ‘wick’) stands for saltworks. Salt is variously symbolic of Earth, purity, protection, life and death. Holy Water is salted. The ‘symbolsage’ website offers this Norse myth among others: “According to Norse mythology, the gods were born of an ice-block, salty in nature, a process that took around four days to be completed. They were later brought to life as Adumbla, a cow, licked the salt and released them.” I’m reminded from this of the London Medical Society definition of ‘korona’ (Part 1 and above) https://symbolsage.com/salt-symbolism/and-meaning/

Multiple point mutations in microbes is called saltation evolution: “In biology, saltation (from Latin saltus ‘leap, jump’) is a sudden and large mutational change from one generation to the next, potentially causing single-step speciation” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltation_(biology)

Is evolution always gradual or can it make leaps? We examine… the probability of multimutation leaps, that is, several mutations occurring simultaneously, within a single generation in 1 genome, and being fixed all together in the evolving population. The results indicate that… the probability of a multimutation leap is low, and accordingly the contribution of such leaps is minor at best. However, we show that, taking sign epistasis into account, leaps could become an important factor of evolution in cases of substantially elevated mutation rates, such as stress-induced mutagenesis in microbes. We hypothesize that stress-induced mutagenesis is an evolvable adaptive strategy.”  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31570621/

The WEST NILE is the underworld burial ground of the dead.

In 1953  West Nile Virus was recovered from the delta by Stanford-trained Telford H. Work and Richard Moreland Taylor (Director of the Rockefeller Foundation International Health Division) under the auspices of U.S. Naval  Medical Research Unit Three in Cairo Egypt (est. 1942).

R.M. Taylor (papers): …”Diaries are missing for 1950-1952 and by 1953 Taylor was in Cairo, Egypt where NAMRU-3 is already established; there are no diaries covering the establishment of NAMRU-3 although there is a short description of its foundations in the 1956 diary. His diaries from 1953-1954 cover the bi-weekly activities of the lab…” https://findingaids.nlm.nih.gov/repositories/4/resources/736

Another “MA gene” candidate comes not from bacteria but from a human Denisovan:

MA-1 gene:

[2013]“…Here we sequence the draft genome of an approximately 24,000-year-old individual (MA-1), from Mal’ta in south-central Siberia9, to an average depth of 1×. To our knowledge this is the oldest anatomically modern human genome reported to date. The MA-1 mitochondrial genome belongs to haplogroup U, which has also been found at high frequency among Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic European hunter-gatherers10,11,12, and the Y chromosome of MA-1 is basal to modern-day western Eurasians and near the root of most Native American lineages5. Similarly, we find autosomal evidence that MA-1 is basal to modern-day western Eurasians and genetically closely related to modern-day Native Americans, with no close affinity to east Asians. This suggests that populations related to contemporary western Eurasians had a more north-easterly distribution 24,000 years ago than commonly thought…” https://www.nature.com/articles/nature12736/

Nature Fakers

“radiobes”

hand drawn ‘radiobes’

Submitted as evidence for Virus on Trial.

Before you read on, though, know that I’m posting this as part of the Full Spectrum Dominance paradigm of life on earth coupled to the replacement narrative of ourselves. The techno-metabiology in practice is an AI-assisted full spectrum exploiter and we do not know if there is a dimension left anywhere in which we can thrive. But I can suggest, by it’s ‘shortage’, that LOVE, and the respect for life that promotes it, creates those dimensions without any technology, spells, symbols, geometries or magic.

I’m borrowing my title from a caption written underneath the photo- portrait of a renown botanist named Charles Stuart Gager who wrote a book in 1908 called “Effects of the Rays of Radium on Plants.”

The source of Gager’s photo is from the 2017 lecture presentation “Radium and the Secret of Life”, a recent book by Professor Luis Campos, chair of astrobiology and history at the University of New Mexico.

I recommend the video for taking the road from the radium craze of the early 1900s to the dropping of atomic bombs, and Campos’s emphasis on the biological work of Hermann J. Muller, a mutation expert who predicted the types and proportions of chronic illnesses we would experience as our exposures to radiation increased.  When Muller won the Nobel Prize in 1946 he said this:

  “We can…draw the practical lesson from the fact of the great majority of mutations being undesirable [and] that their further random production in ourselves should so far as possible be rigorously avoided…    [W]ith certainty from experiments on lower organisms that all high-energy radiation must produce such mutations in man, it becomes an obligation…to insist that simple precautions are taken…whenever people are exposed to such radiation, either in industry or medical practice. And with the coming increasing use of atomic energy, even for peacetime purposes, the problem will become very important of insuring that the human germ plasm—the all-important material of which we are the temporary custodians—is effectively protected from this additional and potent source of permanent contamination.”

Campos adds his commentary, “so you won’t be surprised then to learn that Muller was an early proponent of a Cold War bunker for human reproduction.”

No, no surprise. If the early uses of radium are enough to start your imagination rolling, consider the industry-in-progress that brought on the Manhattan Project and the postwar tests at Bikini Atoll called ‘Crossroads.’ By the time Muller made his Nobel speech in ‘46, the train had long since left the station in a wake of permanent contamination. Coincident to Muller’s prize was that of Wendall Stanley, the biochemist who crystallized tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), introduced on the blog in Planting Viruses Two  https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2021/01/21/planting-viruses-two/

Watch Radium and the Secret of Life here  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anO00_OY1CE

Much earlier in 1916, Muller remarked that “a curious similarity…exists between two of the main problems of physics and of biology. The central problem of biological evolution is in the nature of mutation… tho’ a control of it might obviously place the process of evolution in our hands…[And] if a means were found of influencing it, we might have inanimate matter practically at our disposal, and would hold the key to unthinkable stores of concentrated energy that would render possible any achievement with inanimate things. Mutation and Transmutation—the two keystones of our rainbow bridges to power!” [minute 39 of Radium and the Secret of Life]

****

**************

1903 is the year Professor Campos pinpoints as the start of the radium craze which melded into the parallel X-ray craze of the times –likewise in respect to promoting medical cure-alls—with the accessible x-rays inducing immense curiosity, and as Muller found out in the ‘20s, infinitely more ‘productive’ for mutation work and the study of “genetic engineering”.

“Muller was born and raised in New York City earning his way with scholarship to Columbia where he began studying biology and genetics. In 1912 his experimental work with Drosophila (fruit flies) led to an understanding of genetic inheritance and the theory of “balanced lethals”.  Julian Huxley called Muller to come and teach at the Rice Institute in Houston from 1915 to 1918, thereafter he returned to Columbia and developed methods of quantitative mutation study. In 1920, Muller went to the University of Texas at Austin where he produced his Nobel quality work. In 1932, Hermann Muller was invited to study and teach in the USSR which he did for five years…”

Muller’s sponsor in radium work, zoologist “Julian Huxley(1887-1975); brother of Aldous and Andrew Huxley, grandsons of Thomas Henry Huxley; Julian Huxley “caused considerable controversy by advocating the deliberate physical and mental improvement of the human race through eugenics… he campaigned for the birth control movement… The Oxford-trained zoologist was hired by the new (in 1912) Rice Institute of Houston Texas as chief of its biology department (1912-1916). He returned to England to join army Intelligence, WWI… In 1946 he became the first director-general of the United Nations Educational and Scientific Organization (UNESCO)…”

Visit the “X-ray and Radium” page for a timeline and more citations about the effects of radioactivity like this:

“Leukemia and Medical Radiation”, Pediatrics, Vol 23, No.6, June 1959 “Polhemums and Koch… provide new evidence that leukemia is causally related to medical radiation exposure”.

“Leukemia can also be produced, in man and mouse, by x-rays… It is tempting to speculate that the x-rays triggered the production of a latent virus, or if one chooses to look at it another way, that x-ray provoked the release from the cell of a bit of genetic material that then began to act as a virus.” [p29, Sloan Kettering report 1963] http://tobaccodocuments.org/lor/01134381-4442.html?zoom=750&ocr_position=above_foramatted&start_page=1&end_page=62

*************************************************************************************

Radium’s discoverers, Marie and Pierre Curie, were honored jointly in 1903 with a Nobel Prize shared with Henri Becquerel, for the discovery of radioactivity. It was the third staging of the prize; the first given in 1901 to Wilhelm Roentgen for X-rays.  Pierre addressed the 1903 assembly by saying, “It is possible to conceive that in criminal hands radium might prove very dangerous, and the question therefore arises whether it be to the advantage of humanity to know the secrets of nature, whether we be sufficiently mature to profit by them, or whether that knowledge may not prove harmful. Take for instance, the discoveries of Nobel –powerful explosives have made it possible for men to achieve admirable things, but they are also a terrible means of destruction in the hands of those great criminals who draw nations into war. I am among those who believe with Nobel that humanity will obtain more good than evil from future discoveries.”

You will hear Professor Campos say that the radium-using nature fakers were characterized in their own time as “mad” scientists. The overwhelming destruction and distortion of induced mutations on living things, we know, results in a loss of meaning—deletion of genetic information within the system. If there was any long-term good in it, no one could then say. The answer was out there somewhere over the rainbow bridge.

Pierre Curie, the crystallographer, subjected himself to radium experiments, famously exposing his arm until persistent suppurating wounds developed. In 1906 he was killed in the streets of Paris, caught and crushed under the wheels of a horse-drawn wagon. Marie lived until 1934, succumbing at last to leukemia. Her body and her lab notes are perpetually stored in lead casings.

Hermann Muller went on to discover great things about our chromosomes and genes, such as ‘telomeres’. Perhaps he is a superhero and not the mad scientist afterall—but you decide. Good or evil. I don’t know if Muller could actually be a model hero for super-power, but it was interesting to learn that Superman (Kal-EL) was not conceived as a good guy:

Superman was originally a bald madman created by Siegel and Shuster who used his telepathic abilities to wreak havoc on humanity. He appeared in Siegel and Shuster’s book Science Fiction.[6] Siegel then commented, “What if this Superman was a force for good instead of evil?” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_Comics

Our Superman came on the comic scene in June of 1938 and got his image makeover during the first year. By 1939, he was much improved and using his vital powers, like X-ray vision, for Good. When not crippled by ‘kryptonite’ (radium) he could fly over a rainbow.  For a lot of American kids, he was the Man, whose timely appearance spirited them through the years of World War II. My dad told me that.

1939 was also a peak in entertainment for taking us over the rainbow to OZ. We arrived there in a whirlwind of a twister and followed the yellow-brick road (uranium yellow-cake anyone?) to a land of wizards; World War II was the “wizards war” and it changed things permanently, but in 1939 few of us, our parents and grandparents, would know it. Maybe we should remember that Superman was an alien, Oz was a dream, and the yellow-brick road was the “lowest lane”. Wake up now, Dotty, there’s no place like home.

***************************************

Professor Campos accepted a new position at Rice University this past January 2022, no longer the NASA Chair of Astrobiology at the Library of Congress.  Susan Schneider from the University of Connecticut , for one, replaced him: NASA’s 2019-2020 chair of astrobiology at the Library went to Susan Schneider https://guides.loc.gov/kluge-center-nasa-chair ; author of four books including the most recent  Artificial You, AI and the Future of Your Mind https://catalog.loc.gov/vwebv/holdingsInfo?bibId=21288331

Rice, at Houston, offered Campos the same essential job of coordinating coursework in the History of Science, Technology and Innovation.  He had written before that, in 2020, more about Hermann Muller and Muller’s friendships with Julian Huxley and Carl Sagan: “Genetic Sputniks, how Space Age visionaries primed us for synthetic biology”

[excerpted here] …” For Huxley’s long-time friend, the geneticist H. J. Muller,  the larger history of life on Earth and its future cosmic prospects began with the most remarkable material of heredity itself: the chromosomes. Having won the Nobel Prize for his early work showing that X-rays cause mutations in fruit flies (and by extension, in all living organisms), Muller wrote a manifesto, Out of the Night (1935), in which he predicted that modifying chromosomes would be part of the future of biology…  Muller believed that the thread of evolution and heredity could be re-woven by human hands—that life on Earth was a substrate for other possible biological futures… One day, a few years after he had won the Nobel Prize, Muller received a letter from a precocious 23-year-old by the name of Carl Sagan…the budding planetary scientist and astrobiologist… They spent their time together exchanging scientific theories and fictional visions of biological possibility, repeatedly discussing the limits of human experience and the new forms of life otherworldly environments might hold. Mars was a common theme… Buried deep in the Library of Congress is a personal copy of Muller’s Studies in Genetics, stamped ‘Compliments of the Author,’ and containing an inscription from Muller to Sagan: “Here is a record of some explorations into the universe inside—explorations of a type now as common as a voyage across the Atlantic… What a triumph it will be when we can coordinate and combine our outer and inner quests… greetings to you and yours for 1962-1963, and may we some day meet ‘in spirit’ on the tundras of Mars.’ …Muller’s dreams of biological possibilities—of life as it could be—extended from astrobiology to synthetic biology, not to mention eugenics. There were ‘new opportunities’ afoot in the 1950s, Muller felt, with ‘the strange winds that are now blowing in from the atom, the gene, and outer space.’ … Might space itself be a vast cosmic laboratory of nature’s own efforts at synthetic biology? If we might, echoing both nature and Darwin, engineer ‘endless forms of life most beautiful’ here on this planet, then what untold worlds of biodiversity might exist on habitable elsewheres?” https://www.growbyginkgo.com/2020/06/23/genetic-sputniks/

NASA’s Chair of Astrobiology at the Library of Congress is named for Baruch ‘Barry’ Blumberg: “Blumberg was awarded the 1976 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for discovery of the Hepatitis B virus and development of a vaccine to prevent Hepatitis B infection. He served as the NASA Astrobiology Institute director from 1999 to 2002. The institute’s mission is to promote interdisciplinary research in astrobiology, train the next generation of astrobiologists, provide scientific and technical leadership for NASA space missions, and share astrobiology’s discoveries with learners of all ages.” https://astrobiology.nasa.gov/news/new-astrobiology-chair-at-library-of-congress/

Historical notes:

Radium, element 88 (isotope 226); according to this source, required ten tons of pitchblende for Marie Curie to make 1mg of radium https://www.rsc.org/periodic-table/history

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emile_Armet_de_Lisle ; Radium production in 1903 France was organized by chemist Emile Armet de Lisle with financing from Henri de Rothschild https://www.dissident-media.org/infonucleaire/Armet_de_lisle.html ;Various members of the James Mayer Rothschild family, of the French banking house, sponsored the work of radium production in addition to support of Louis Pasteur.

“Radioluminescent paint was invented in 1908 by Sabin Arnold von Sochocky[2][failed verificationsee discussion] and originally incorporated radium-226. Radium paint was widely used for 40 years on the faces of watches, compasses, and aircraft instruments, so they could be read in the dark.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_paint

Circa 1913, luminous radium paint and “radium fertilizer” were generated at commodity levels; here’s a radium fertilizer booklet, published 1915 http://www.archive.org/details/radiumasfertiliz00hopk ; The US government stepped in at this point and reserved to itself all radium-bearing ores.

*

Tobacco and sunflowers were among the crops targeted for radium fertilizer, and both readily uptake metal contaminants— I posit that largescale dumping of DU tailings was used; According to the EPA today , any commercial fertilizer has naturally occurring radium (known as NORMs, Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials). EPA explains: “Radium radioactively decays to release radon gas, which then rises from the soil around the plants. As the plant grows, the radon from fertilizer, along with naturally-occurring radon in surrounding soil and rocks, cling to the sticky hairs on the bottom of tobacco leaves, called trichomes.” https://www.epa.gov/radtown/radioactivity-tobacco#:~:text=Radium%20radioactively%20decays%20to%20release%20radon%20gas%2C%20which,on%20the%20bottom%20of%20tobacco%20leaves%2C%20called%20trichomes.

In Radium and the Secret of Life we see this image of tobacco plants on the cover of the 1929 Journal of Heredity.

From the Office of Human Radiation Experiments, Oral History of biophysicist Robert E. Rowland: …”There were some efforts as early as 1945, ’46, to go out to a very famous place — to us — called the Elgin State Hospital for the Mentally Insane, because at that time, there were people living there who were injected with radium in 1931 — and ultimately ’32 and ’33, we learned — as a cure for schizophrenia… well, it certainly wasn’t a successful treatment… Radium is a bone-seeker, which means it has the potential to stay in the human body a long time, and radium has a long half-life, 13 so it indicates it will stay in the human body for a long time… we didn’t know at the time they [Elgin patients] had had too much radium. But, they were right in the range where malignancies were induced. They were just perfect for the induction of malignancies…”  https://ehss.energy.gov/ohre/roadmap/histories/0461/0461_a.html

  Follow the yellow brick road

L.Frank Baum published The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in 1900 and went on to write a science-fiction fantasy the next year called The Master Key, an Electrical Fairy Tale which one reviewer remarks “Augured the internet, google, stun guns, TV, computers, wireless telephones…”  Baum had been a small newspaper publisher and, at the time of writing these books, was a Chicago-based reporter, surmising a well-informed status with technical advancements. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1294222.The_Master_Key

 In the Oz stories, the yellow brick road exists only in Munchkin land and not the other 3 quadrants of the kingdom—a kingdom ‘usurped’ by a charismatic wizard who flew in on a balloon, named Oscar Diggs. (Don’t those two guys in a photo with ‘radium’ flowers look like Munchkins next to the plants?) The people of Oz accepted Diggs’s leadership because they believed his arrival to be the fulfillment of a long-awaited prophecy and it was Diggs who authorized the building of the yellow brick road (YBR) and the capital of Emerald City. When Dorothy drops in on a twister, her house kills the Witch of the East and leaves only her “silver shoes” intact—the silvery metal slippers are magically flexible, protective and ‘charmed’– and with the help of a good witch, transferred to Dorothy for her journey on the YBR where she meets her companions who together test their mettle and evade the other ‘lions and tigers and bears’ —Britain, China, and Russia, perhaps. The silvery uranium metal mined in the United States became a sought-after steel alloy in the 1870s. Any ‘man of steel’ would seek its strength, but most of the uses for uranium up to those days were ancient in practice as yellow paint. If ‘yellowcake’ was the packed powder for the paint and dye trade, I couldn’t say, but Baum references his yellow bricks as painted and ‘glowing’ even in the dark, suggestive of the radium discovered in 1898.  As Radium and the Secret of Life points out, 1903 is the year radium went big –and so did the Wizard of Oz. Launched as a stage extravaganza in Chicago in 1902, it landed on Broadway in 1903, running from January to October and returning again in 1904. The wildly popular Wizard took the road and toured the US with its Broadway cast through 1911, after which Frank Baum moved his family to Los Angeles and got into the early movie business for a time before his death in 1919. Supported by a social club of boosters called the “Uplifters”, Baum and cohorts founded the Oz Film Manufacturing Company, making 5 feature-length sequels to the Wizard before their company was merged into ‘Metro’.

“The Lofty and Exalted Order of Uplifters”, founded 1913 by Harry Marston Haldeman and named by Frank Baum, was a select social unit of the Los Angeles Athletic Club. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Uplifters_(club) As a Theosophist Baum  “was in agreement with the Theosophical belief that man on Earth was only one step on a great ladder that passed through many states of consciousness, through many universes, to a final state of Enlightenment.” https://www.theosophical.org/publications/quest-magazine/1583  

Radium’s flying monkeys unleashed by the West may or may not have been what Frank Baum was thinking about in 1900, but it works for me right down to the choice of color. Marie Curie, it’s said, was bewitched by the blue ‘fairy lights’ emanating from her radium crucibles—Light being it’s only proof as a residue. Radioactivity, proved on glass photo plates by the Curies’ friend Becquerel, opens another chapter of high-tech exploration besides genetics which was to become the province of movie-making.  It was a swift transition into the polymer chemistry of light-sensitive plastics from movies on celluloid that came with a ready-made industry. The famous publicly-viewed Lumiere films of 1895 were coincident with Roentgen’s x-rays and a burgeoning marketplace of advanced ideas–unlimited free energy being chief among them.  Until viewing Radium and the Secrets of Life, I hadn’t known that “radium stoves” for room warming were among the novelties, but it’s no surprise to find them among the fantasy.

Shape matters

“In his penetrating essays, scientist-author Lewis Thomas, discussing parasitism and symbiosis, described the forces that would drive all living matter into one huge ball of protoplasm were it not for recognition mechanisms that kept self and nonself apart. The origins of these recognition mechanisms go far back in evolutionary history, and many in fact, originated as markers for allowing cells to recognize each other to set up symbiotic households. Genetically related sponge colonies that are placed close to each other, for example, will tend to grow toward each other and fuse into one large colony. Unrelated colonies, however, will react in a different way, destroying cells that come in contact and leaving a rejection zone between the colonies. In the plant kingdom, similar types of recognition occur… The nature of these primitive recognition mechanisms has not been completely worked out, but almost certainly involves cell surface molecules that are able to specifically bind and adhere to other molecules on opposing cell surfaces. This simple method of molecular recognition has evolved over time into the very complex system of the immune response, which however, still retains as its essential feature the ability of a protein molecule to recognize and bind specifically to a particular shaped structure on another molecule. Such molecular recognition is the underlying principle involved in the discrimination between self and nonself by the immune response.” –p2, introduction, Immunology, a Short Course (fourth edition, 2000)by E.Benjamini, R.Coico, and G.Sunshine

Coronavirus comparisons to structurally identical viruses, both shape and surface spikes, has a few more surprises. And somewhere out there, if I can find it for my post, must be a corona “rod”.

It may look like this*   The small purple spheres are labeled “coronavirus” and the strange ’caterpillars’ are not labeled at all, shown growing on a Vero (African Green monkey) cell. Could those be “coronavirus” rods?

The rods above, by their shape, look like dead ringers for Marburg virus –the hemorrhagic fever called Marburg emerged in August of 1967 among pharmaceutical lab workers in Germany. The virus turned out to be traced to three shipments of African Green monkeys sent from Uganda. Laurie Garrett (our ‘Cassandra of Covid’) wrote about its emergence in The Coming Plague:

(p53) ”In August 1967 three factory workers in Marburg Germany reported in sick, suffering from muscle aches and mild fevers. The three men were employed at Behringwerke AG, the vaccine-producing subsidiary of pharmaceutical giant Hoechst, and though their ailments looked like nothing more than the flu, it was quite unusual for influenza to appear during Germany’s hot summer months. The men were referred to the Marburg University Hospital. The following day the three men became nauseated, their spleens enlarged and were tender to the touch, and their eyes became increasingly bloodshot…  Day by day more workers from the pharmaceutical plant fell ill… By September, twenty-three patients lay in agony in the Marburg University Hospital wards. Some fifty miles away in Frankfurt, six more individuals contracted the same mysterious disease at the German government’s Paul Ehrlich Institute. Four were also workers employed in pharmaceutical research… (p54) At the same time a third outbreak occurred in Belgrade Yugoslavia, involving a veterinarian and his wife. The thirty-one cases struck terror in European research circles….  (p55) By December of 1967 seven of the patients had died. Most succumbed within sixteen days of their first symptoms…  All of the original cases in Germany and Yugoslavia involved men who worked with monkeys. Furthermore, investigators discovered, each of the men had handled animals, or the tissue of animals, from the East African nation of Uganda.  The investigation narrowed when it was learned the monkeys were all of the same species: Cercopithecus aethiops, a type of vervet monkey common throughout Africa…[and] that all the monkeys came from three shipments of wild animals transported from Uganda to Belgrade, then on to Marburg and Frankfurt. When the first shipment of animals arrived in Belgrade, 49 of 99 monkeys were dead… The veterinarian’s autopsies of the dead monkeys revealed that the animals also had suffered massive hemorrhages…  (p56) Microscopic studies revealed that the Marburg virus could be found in two different forms. The first looked like a caterpillar, its long, thin, tubular shape coated with ‘fuzz’. Inside the tube was RNA (ribonucleic acid), the genetic blueprint of the virus. The ‘fuzz’ along the outside of the virus’s protein tube was a constellation of extruding protein receptors the virus used to gain entry into target cells. In its more mature and dangerous form, the viral tube was rolled up into a tight round coil…”  [end excerpt]

This illustrated coronavirus looks like what ‘mature’ Marburg sounds like.

CoV*                                                                RNA “rolled up into a tight round coil”, shaped like  Marburg’s secondary form, spikes and all.

Here’s another hemorrhagic fever virus shape-and-spike ringer for CoV and influenza

 

Lassa fever virus*,                                                           ‘emerged’ in January 1969 Nigeria among American hospital missionaries, sixteen months after Marburg.

*

Readers of John M. Barry’s The Great Influenza will remember descriptions of the dying as suffering the  swift and horrible symptoms of hemorrhagic fever—worse than descriptions of Marburg and Lassa in other popular books.  Within 24 hours to 3 days, worst-case victims with maddening pain suffocated without oxygen, their flesh turning blue, black and bloody, and died drowning in their own blood. The 1918 Spanish Flu, for want of a name, never returned and a causal microbe was never found, but no other descriptions fit this ‘flu’ than what we associate today with Ebola when it emerged in Africa in July of 1976.

Ebola looks like Marburg.

The value of Tobacco Mosaic Virus in nanobiotech can hardly be overstated:

“TMV Scaffolds Used to Make Other Nanoparticles

“Nanoparticles are well sought into because of their applications in drug delivery and in other nanotechnologies. The tobacco mosaic virus is a symmetrical rod of repeating subunits of protein stacked on top of each other, which has the ability to be reformed into other nanoparticle shapes. Research into diverse nanoparticle shapes are being looked into to see their potential use in in vivo studies[10]. Research has found that when TMV rods are heated up they can collapse to take on different structures and sizes of spherical nanoparticles. These different sized nanoparticles have the potential to be used in the medical field to find a variety of delivery and imagining agents[10]. The spherical nanoparticles form as a result of heating the TMV to 94 °C for at least ten seconds. The size of the nanoparticles can vary depending on the concentration of the TMV that is in solution at one time[10]. The reported sizes of these spherical nanoparticles are between 50-800 nm in diameter and can range in morphology by changing the temperature and time under heat conditions[10]. For the complete conversion of TMV into the spherical nanoparticles, 125 seconds at 100 °C is required. Shorter times at 100 °C will result in a mix of TMV rods and spheres. Longer times at 100 °C will not change the morphology of the spherical nanoparticles[10]. Further investigation into these different nanoparticle shapes could lead to novel structures that can be used for medical applications in drug delivery that researchers are not yet aware of.”  https://microbewiki.kenyon.edu/index.php/Tobacco_Mosaic_Virus_Uses_In_Pharmaceutical_Research

The Disease Continuum

Of all the subject matter in this blog, the collective weight gathers on the topic of the Disease Continuum, so named as a man-made phenomenon of modern times. I’m challenging myself here to grasp its scope, locate its origins, describe its momentum and filter out a sensible narrative.

Like an exhausted competitor in an old-time Depression-era Dance Marathon, I’m leaning hard on my ‘partners’, relying on refreshment and support until the music stops. When it stops (if it stops), the grand prize will be survival –merely that– in a fiction of celebration designed for the desperate by the cruel. Thus, simply, stands my take on the practical medical ‘establishment’ paradigm.

In general terms, the mater materia of the Disease Continuum compares to the elements of the ancients [air, water, earth, fire]; four fundamental essences from which it’ s composed. By disease names they are influenza, polio, cancer and AIDS and together, they forge a Ring of Power in the kingdom of Public Health.

…”One Ring to rule them all and in the darkness bind them”

   Common to the four elements of the Continuum is the eugenical substrate on which they emerge in history; they are timely, political, and as inevitable as the science and industry that sustains them. It should interest us that they are characterized as viral and not the foreign biological intruders we suppose.
   “We have travelled a long way from the mysterious filtrable infective particle of..years ago… [W]e have even the evidence that..portions of certain..viruses can be dissociated and later recombined to form a reconstituted infective particle… Clearly discoveries of this sort are providing the basis for an understanding of the host-virus relationship… For virus multiplication is after all a special case of protein biosynthesis… We seem thus to have reached a point at which biochemical and biophysical studies of viruses have really come into their own and offer the greatest prospects of advance.”
–Sir Charles Harington, March 1956,
Ciba Foundation Symposium at the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR), Mill Hill London [ref. The Nature of Viruses, 1956, Little Brown & Co.]
*
From the same publication, Sweden’s polio researcher Sven Gard wrote, “The question of the kinetics of chemical virus inactivation has become a problem of more than academic interest after the occurrance in the USA of inoculation poliomyelitis in children vaccinated with formalin-treated virus… Salk (1956) has repeatedly stated that inactivation of polio virus by formaldehyde (F) runs the course of a first order reaction.  At the Third International Poliomyelitis Conference in Rome in 1954 I pointed out that the Swedish observations did not conform with this statement (Gard, 1955). On the contrary, we had found a systematic and consistently reproducible deviation...”  http://polioforever.wordpress.com/polio-vaccine/
   Work on polioviruses helped to prove that intestinal “Enteroviruses can infect all tissues of the human body. The tropism of each virus for certain tissues is not well understood…”. Reconstituting pathogens in the form of gut bacteria and viruses was learned early. Simon Flexner designed experiments in 1897 to alter the properties of harvested human colon bacilli and turn them virulent several years before he became the director of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. Flexner’s cadavers in 1890s Baltimore, taken to the labs of the newly medicalized Johns Hopkins University, were mostly victims of pneumonia and influenza, a ready surfeit of bodies that littered the northern port cities of industrial America.  https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2009/07/30/enter-o-viruses/
*
Dr. Nancy Banks writes in AIDS, Opium, Diamonds and Empire on cancer and AIDS, ..”new research suggests that ..[what] may be the primary cause of malignant growth..[is] the reduced efficiency of mitochondrial energy conversion as the result of oxidative/nitrosative stress… What is becoming imminently more difficult to suppress is the evidence that impaired mitochondrial metabolism, and specifically the Krebs cycle activity, may promote malignant growth… People diagnosed with AIDS are in a hypercatabolic low oxygen state where the body becomes exhausted in attempting to repair itself.” As she explains, “no virus need apply”. [p58]
… “There is no scientific data validating the contention that what is currently referred to as HIV is, in fact, a virus! …The goal was perception management… [and] the proteins claimed to be specific for HIV are universally present in everyone.” [pp306-308]
… Dr. Banks treats readers to a quote from Peter Duesberg: “Even very few oncogenic retroviruses –those endowed with cancer genes– hardly play a role as carcinogens for two reasons. First, viral cancer genes accidentally acquired are never kept by retroviruses after they are generated because they are entirely useless to the virus… Second, even if a rare oncogenic retrovirus infects an immunocompetent animal, a small tumor will appear within days after the infection, only to disappear again as the animal develops antiviral immunity. Antiviral immunity kills both the virus and all virus-infected cells.” [p54, AIDS, Opium, Diamonds and Empire] https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2011/01/05/immortal-cancer/
*
   So all is not peace and harmony in the Disease Continuum. But we should remember the words of H.R. Shepherd, 1993 founding chairman of the Sabin Vaccine Institute:  “Vaccines are the most powerful tool available to equalize the health of human beings in every corner of the world. Enlightened leaders understand the power of vaccines to help bring peace and opportunity to the most troubled places…” http://polioforever.wordpress.com/sabin-vaccine-institute/
   No story of great or worldly achievement in the 20th century seems complete or soluble without a reconciliation to public medicine. It electrifies the most compelling events of our time like the JFK assassination. https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2011/11/06/the-jfk-conspiracy-con/
   Edward Mandell House, the intimate alter-ego and adviser to Woodrow Wilson, was reputed to have said (prior to WWI), “Very soon, every American will be required to register their biological property in a national system designed to keep track of the people… They will be our chattel… stripped of their rights and given a commercial value…”
   Without this knowledge can we know anything about the new designs of peace and opportunity planned for the 21st?
 As is my recent posting custom, this article is going to grow long and thick expositioning currents of power and change in the methods of modern disease.

“Throughout history, infectious diseases have killed more soldiers than have weapons… It has always been very hazardous to be a soldier.. but in recent decades the greatest risk seems to be carried by civilians… In 1993, the World Bank provided one of the first attempts to combine both death and suffering into a single number to represent the burden of disease (Disability Adjusted Life Years, or DALYs)… They found in 1990 a total of 1.4 billion DALYs lost in the world. Twenty-four different conditions each accounted for more than one percent of that total. Five of these 24 conditions involved violence: automobile injuries, falls, homicide, suicide, and war… The five violence conditions were second only to respiratory diseases..” –pages 4-5, War and Public Health, 1997, editors Barry S. Levy and Victor W. Sidel
So, there’s your commercial value –the unit measure of productivity representing your (everyone’s) worth.

INFLUENZA, notoriously lethal as the 1918 Spanish Flu, became a very interesting disease in the pandemic of 1889-1893, known as the Russian Flu: “The pandemic spread rapidly, taking only 4 months to circumnavigate the planet, peaking in the United States 70 days after the original peak in St. Petersburg.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20421481
An 18 page document describing the collective experiences of doctors with 6,000 Philadelphia patients notes that “The most important symptoms were undoubtedly those connected with the nervous system, and it is a serious question whether all the symptoms were not due primarily to derangement of that system.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2526633/?page=2
…”The duration varied from one week to three months of more…The sputum..was frequently noticed to be quite black from minute particles resembling soot or coal dust… Insane ideas were acknowledged by many…Fear of going crazy was excessively frequent… Vertigo was common… Violent headache..often continued for months… Cases which were left with local or general paralysis were subject as a premonitory symptom to exceptionally violent headache… Sight was often temporarily lost… We noted numbness of the limbs… A sudden loss of power in the limbs was sometimes an initial symptom… In many cases power was lost for long periods– ten months or a year, and sometimes it seems, permanently… For months after apparent recovery, fatigue or exposure would bring on exhaustion… Sustained thought was often utterly impossible… in effort there was a sudden slowing down of the heart… Heart-failure caused most of the deaths in the earlier part of the first year’s epidemic… The influenza type seemed to be stamped upon all diseases, modified them, and caused confusion in diagnosis… In what light are we to regard the persistent occurrance of innumerable paralyses of involuntary muscles? The list is too full to be accidental –bronchial, vesicular, ocular, intercostal, cardiac, gastric, biliary, hepatic, vascular, intestinal and rectal. These occur at once to the mind, and do they not indicate some disorder, some disarrangement, some alteration or possession of the nerve-centres and nerve-trunks concerned in the vital processes of the economy?” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2526633/?page=17
   Spanish Flu was another complex of neurological, hemorrhagic, and mixed illnesses confounded in wartime with lingering and permanent disabilities in survivors. I wrote of it here https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2009/07/18/tracking-the-spanish-flu/ as an additional consequence of nitrate toxicosis, opening material for this blog as the H1N1 was advancing. My look back in history then, at influenza, was also looking like polio and AIDS moreso than any respiratory disease. Spanish Flu was a special case, rather a complicated set of conditions, and could not be a beginning for the “DC” but its extension. The pandemic of 1889, however, distinguishes itself with consistency as a conundrum of “confusion in diagnosis”. The Philadelphians wrote, “The initial nasal catarrh so associated with the name of influenza as to be popularly synonymous with it, often failed to appear early and was manifested later amid other affectations… vertigo and unsteady gait [was how] some cases began their attacks (in the first year) and in relapses these symptoms were often forerunners of renewed attack… The influenzal poison, whatever its nature, exhibits in protracted cases a likeness to malarial poisoning in symptoms and length of duration… The most severe and protracted cases were generally in the educated classes… Influenza cannot be a filth disease, as its initial outbreak was among the wealthy rather than the poor.
   Suggestive of something malaria-like, the Pennsylvania doctors concluded uncertainly that they were dealing with a blood-borne agent vectored similarly (by mosquitos) in a fashion of today’s West Nile Virus. Interest in the Russian Flu has revived since 2009 “reinforced by..the work of French epidemiologist Alain-Jacques Valleron from the Institut National de la Sante et de la Recherche Medicale in Paris.” http://www.elementshealthspace.com/2010/06/03/the-russian-pandemic-of-1889-and-the-h1n1-pandemic-of-200910/  Valleron’s research is visualized in a short (and silent) video clip displaying a progressive ground-zero approach to the spread of 1889 Russian Flu: http://212.193.9.230/import/2010_50_Id_en/file049.pdf
   What is most interesting to me about the flu pandemic is that it followed so closely on the heels of the world’s first major polio epidemics in Sweden, which occurred in Stockholm shortly after modern vaccination practices came into being. Vaccination’s foremost advocate, Pasteur, found an institutional home in Paris during 1887-1888 with an international cast of fellows and more interesting still, the first credited scientist to isolate virus with disease-transmitting filtrate, Dimitri Ivanovsky, joined the University of St. Petersburg in 1887. By 1892, botanist Ivanovsky had proved his transmissable”virus” theory with the Tobacco Mosaic Virus, marking the birth of virology in history.
   The next year, 1893, with the Russian Flu still circulating, the United States had its first recorded outbreaks of epidemic polio.
*
POLIO (poliomyelitis) was a bugaboo of unknown causes when it emerged in the 19th century, called infantile paralysis for its most recognizable signs as a children’s disease. In this “golden age” of medicine (referring to the next link), a sparse timeline which appears dedicated to polio demonstrates the importance attached to it, retrospectively.
   “Confusion in diagnosis”, however, is polio’s outstanding historical feature. Even as late as the public distribution of Salk’s polio vaccine (the IPV) in 1955, polio was often diagnosed as grippe –the French-language equivalent of influenza– with significant intestinal involvement. Albert Sabin proved in 1947 that (enough) polioviruses caused grippe. For the longest time what could not be proven was that polioviruses caused polio.
   Researcher/author Jim West writes, “Mainstream science admits that most viruses are harmless, yet the word “virus ” adds to a biased and highly promoted language of fear regarding natureearly virus studies considered virus filtrates to be a poison… My site has several articles by the Nobel Laureate Alexis Carrel regarding injections of highly dilute poisons, similar to formaldehyde in Salk vaccine, which was 1:4000 concentration. Carrel injected carcinogens at 1:5000 to 1:250000 and caused reliably, cancer in chickens… Central nervous system diseases other than polio continue in the U.S. and throughout the world: acute flaccid paralysis, chronic fatigue syndrome, encephalitis, meningitis, muscular sclerosis… The unique correlations between CNS disease and CNS toxins present a variety of research opportunities not only in medical science, but political science, philosophy, media studies, psychology, and sociology.http://www.whale.to/a/west_h.html
   Mr. West’s well made and far-reaching point, unfortunately, is just not far-reaching enough. Janine Roberts, too, followed the West path, augmenting the polio resources and writing, “I had begun my research by looking at the many contaminants in the vaccine, but finally was forced to conclude: 1) that polio..was not primarily caused by the nominated ‘poliovirus’ –but primarily by human environmental pollution, particularly..insecticides… 2) that the disease was not stopped by the vaccine, but many cases were deliberately hidden by relabelling it –this led to the vaccine being attributed with a fictitious victory…[and]… 3) that polio might well be curable –if it is treated as a toxin-caused disease.” http://www.sparks-of-light.org/poliomyth.html  Broadly speaking, all diseases not classed as genetic in origin are toxin-caused. The statements above are a benign way of not being wrong but they’re also a clever way of not being forthright. Perhaps for some researchers it’s a beginning –not my beginning– that ‘settles’ prematurely.
*
The first recorded U.S. outbreak was in 1841 in West Feliciana, Louisiana (10 cases, no deaths). There was a half-century gap until the next cluster, in 1893 in Boston (26 cases, no deaths). Then, in 1894, came what is widely regarded as the first major epidemic, in Rutland and Proctor, Vermont (132 cases, 18 deaths). Thirty more outbreaks – from such seemingly disparate locations as Oceana County, Michigan, and California’s Napa Valley — were reported in the United States through 1909. The worst by far was New York in 1907, with 2,500 cases and a five percent mortality rate, a harbinger of the 1916 epidemic… Setting aside for now the 1841 Louisiana outbreak, reported retrospectively, something seems to have happened around 1890 to launch The Age of Polio in the United States. And something else must have changed around the end of World War II to create the large modern epidemics seared into the minds of older Americans, thousands of whom are poliomyelitis survivors and almost all of whom know someone who was afflicted.” http://www.ageofautism.com/2011/09/the-age-of-polio-how-an-old-virus-and-new-toxins-triggered-a-man-made-epidemic-1.html
  The authors and editors of ‘age of autism’, Dan Olmstead and Mark Blaxill, cite West and Roberts in an exemplary description of early pesticide-caused polio (from 1893 onwards, incriminating the poisons arsenic, lead, mercury and DDT) and then appear to lose track of the subject –polio– and follow pesticides, venturing conclusions that neither West nor Roberts suggest: “To summarize our theory: Polio is a virus, contagious like all viruses… When it is introduced into the human body, it has the capacity to enter the nervous system when nerves are damaged. Damage can occur many ways: mechanically through needle puncture or surgery, or, we propose, biochemically via pesticidal or other toxic exposure. Once the virus enters the nervous system, it becomes dangerous..[and] spreads through the nervous system via “retrograde axonal transport… lead[ing] to paralysis or death.”
   The failures and limitations of polio researchers presented so far unanimously neglect to actually follow the occurrence of the disease –if they did, they would fall over a body of evidence that associates polio with influenza and the most potent of co-factors that is a cause on its own, radiation. This was my beginning, and it immediately opened not just a door on disease, but a dimension. Welcome to the continuum…

Modern War, 1968

Excerpt from *”The Biological Time Bomb”, author Gordon Rattray Taylor, copyright 1968
[page 184]

“In current thinking, the best way to wage war is to wage it without your enemy even being aware that it is happening. If, for example, you can control the weather so as to ensure poor crops for your enemy and good ones for yourself, in the course of years you will gradually improve the position of your country relative to his. Then perhaps you could quietly introduce a few crop diseases –nothing dramatic which would lead to suspicion, just a slight rise here and there apparently from some natural cause. And why stop at plant or stock diseases? Some minor human epidemics might help. Even the common cold keeps people away from work. It might be ten years or more before it dawned on the health authorities that they were really being too unlucky with minor illnesses. Meanwhile you inflate your own statistics a little, to avoid odious comparisons. And, of course, this is merely the biological side. Industrial disputes, insurance losses, the draining away of brain-power, and a thousand other things will help to undermine the strength of a country. Even a narrow-minded regime, an obfuscating religion, can prevent a country’s progress. And who knows whether this is just a speculation? Perhaps there are nations consciously waging this kind of warfare now.”

..”Or perhaps actual gene warfare. If viruses can be used to carry new genetic material into cells, perhaps one could tamper with the genes of another nation without their ever realizing the fact. History would simply record, as it has so often in the past, that such-an-such a nation rose to power while certain other countries entered a decline.”

In 1968 the Club of Rome was created as a policy think-tank of international science and businessmen that counted heads of State among its supporting members. Two very influential publications define the objectives of the Club; “Limits To Growth” distributed in 1972 and “The First Global Revolution” in 1993. The Club came to define the “new enemy” in its ’93 report prepared by (co-founder) Alexander King and Bertrand Schneider, http://scribd.com/doc/13160503/The-First-Global-Revolution-Club-of-Rome
[page 75]
In searching for a common enemy against whom we can unite, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like, would fit the bill.
                                                    …The real enemy then is humanity itself
                                                   

Excerpts from “The First Global Revolution” offered in context:

“1968 was the year of the Great Divide. It marked the zenith as well as the end of the long post-war period of rapid economic growth in the industrial countries. But it was also a year of social unrest with the eruption of student uprisings in many countries and other manifestations of alienation and counter-culture protest..”–“Limits To Growth was never intended as a prophecy, but rather as a warning..” 

“The topic of recent [late 80s] Club of Rome meetings has been the ‘Great Transition’: we are convinced that we are in the early stages of the formation of a new type of world society which will be as different from..the Industrial Revolution [was] from the society of the long agrarian period that preceded it.”

[page 29] “The New Plagues”…”that of crime, violence and coercion organized for monetary gain or political power..[like] the well-organized drug trade.”

[concerning the spiral of national debts enhanced by the WB/IMF lending programs of the 1970s, pp.57-58] “The cost of debt service each year is influenced by interest rates and the value of the dollar. This dangerously unstable situation..if unattended, may well undermine the future prospects of the world economy..
   On its own, the debtedness of the developing countries constitutes a serious and growing threat…New resources will also be needed on a substantial scale.
   Developing a viable approach to the debt and development problem will require a far more coherent linkage of policies and institutions concerned with financial management (IMF), with investment and development (the Word Bank), and trade (UNCTAD, CATP)…In spite of institutional reluctance, policy objectives and actions in such interlinked fields as finance, debt management, investment, development policy, human resource development, trade, and environment must be made more coherent.”

[page64] “In general, non-governmental activity has achieved a new order of importance..”
“The Asian Dragons, otherwise known as NICs (Newly Industrialized Countries..Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong and South Korea) have achieved great prosperity which is based to a large extent on exploitation of the new technologies. There is a lesson here…”
   “(Some of the poorer countries are also showing the results of creative inititative –for example, the recent progress in Botswana and consistent development in Zimbabwe)”

“Through numerous multilateral or bilateral conferences, meetings and telephone calls, personal relationships are being established which enable a better understanding among the human beings behind the official masks.”

[page66] ..”the end of the ‘American Dream’ which lost its credibility with the painful Vietnam War,..Hispanic migration,..poverty within plenty, drugs, violence and AIDS, and the fact that the ‘melting pot’ no longer worked were..factors in its demise.”
   “The need for enemies seems to be a common historical factor. Some states have striven to overcome domestic failure and internal contradictions by blaming external enemies. The ploy of finding a scapegoat is as old as mankind itself –when things become too difficult at home, divert attention to adventure abroad. Bring the divided nation together to face an outside enemy, either a real one or else one invented for the purpose.”

..”the sudden absence of traditional adversaries has left governments and public opinion with a great void to fill. New enemies have to be identified, new strategies imagined and new weapons devised. The new enemies..threaten the whole human race, and their names are pollution, water shortage, famine, malnutrition, illiteracy and unemployment. However it appears as yet insufficient for bringing about world cohesion and solidarity for the fight. Also the failure of many ideologies has removed some of the necessary points of reference.”

[page71]..”f’reedom’ alone cannot reorganize a state, write a constitution, create a market  and establish economic growth, rebuild industry and agriculture, or build a new social structure…This is why the concept of human rights simply ‘initiates’ but cannot implement the process of democratization…The old democracies have functioned reasonably well over the last two hundred years, but they appear now to be in a phase of complacent stagnation”
..”It is hoped..that people will not reproduce slavish copies of existing models that are unable to meet contemporary needs. Democracy is not a panacea… It is unaware of its own limits”..

“In its present form, democracy is no longer well suited for use [in the] tasks ahead…”

“Winston Churchill was right when he quipped ‘Democracy is the worst of all systems, except for the rest’. “..we must be aware of its erosion, its fragility and its limitations…a democracy is particularly damaging at the international level. When..international policing is required, delays on taking decisions can mortally affect the lives of thousands of people.”

[page73] “The problem then is to invent instruments of governance capable of coping with change…we also have to determine the characteristics of the capacity to govern. ‘Global Governance’ in our vocabulary does not imply a global ‘government’ but rather the institutions set up for cooperation, coordination and common action”..
[page74]..”large bureaucracies that spread their tentacles around the centers of power..slow down or paralyze both decision-making and implementation.”

..”a dynamic world needs an effective nervous system at the grassroots level..to make the identification of every citizen with the common process of governance possible.
   In searching for a common enemy against whom we can unite, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like, would fit the bill.
…The real enemy then, is humanity itself…thus sparing no region, no society.”..”[social] phenomena are setting the stage, on many different levels, for a new upsetting environment where deviant behavior is in general..perceived as being commonplace”..

[page77] “Parents and teachers, the point of reference in most societies, have not been prepared by their education to adjust to the new situation imposed upon them today. As the late sociologist Margaret Mead remarked, “Young people are the native population of the new world in which we adults are immigrants”. Some of us would even go along with her observation that “nowhere in the world do there exist adults who know what their children know…In the past, there were always some elders who knew more..than any child. Today there are no longer any.”

“Thanks to modern information technology, young people are being exposed rapidly to more and more tacts that give them reason to believe that their elders lack responsibility and are unaware of enormous dangers,..shocks that lead to the feeling of generalized disorder.”
..”Children watch television and learn about all aspects of human life. They learn to be persons with individual choices, inclinations and freedom. The conflict between inherited and acquired values is such that if a young person wants to think and act for himself, he must have lots of courage or he will break down. Not having been given the means to distinguish the fundamental meaning…the younger generation is rejecting traditions and values as a whole and sketching out new trends: today, adolescents are the ones who know about and contribute to the major transnational trends, and try to stand firm against the dangers. Their parents now have to seek their consent and negotiate their own former unquestioned authority.”
…”there is only one way out..[for parents to] truly listen to and learn from their children..”

[page79] “Signs of discord have gradually appeared in the global society, inducing fear and bringing young people together despite differences of class, culture and country.”
..”another aspect of this great transition is the felt need to go back to the ancient spiritual principles..or to find solace in cults and pseudo religions..”
..”the Western model of modernization, consumption, economic growth and social progress..has not kept its promise”

“The three worlds –the Industrialized one, the second one mainly constituted by the Communist countries..and the underdeveloped Third World– are no more.”

[page83]”Never in the course of history has humanity been faced with so many threats and dangers…man is sucked into a global cyclone of confusion, swirling with seemingly unrelated factors, the causes of which form an inextricable maze…”
..”mankind is overwhelmed by the range of the difficulties confronting it from all sides; overwhelmed –and the word is not too strong– because the traditional structures, governments and institutions can no longer manage the problems…To make things worse, the archaic and unsuitable structures are themselves in the midst of a true moral crisis. The disappearance of value systems,..traditions,..collapse of ideologies,..absence of a global vision,..practices of democracy — all contribute to the void confronting societies.”

“States with constitutional laws and rights violate international law whenever the matter is solely one of national interest…Religions often serve as an excuse for fraticidal strife…”

“What we observe today is a general malaise which strikes men with stupor, paralysis and unnamed fears…This is the formidable challenge..”
“A global challenge requires a global approach.”

One might ask if the purpose of the Vietnam War was to wake the sleepy “Asian Dragons” and draw out the industrial might of the East. The multi-use objectives of the 60s, 1968 in particular, set American society (and elsewhere) into a fever of dissarray that hastened the Youth culture repudiation of tradition and values that would later ensnare them in mass-media subversion and drugs. In a continuation of the race riots, rechanneled and expanded, the 60s war protests offered the seeding of ‘hope and peace’ in the birth of the Ecology movement.

Every Silver Lining Has A Black Cloud


*
There is no longer any doubt in my mind that Colloidal Silver ingestion is an insidious plot against American patriots who are being set up to die: and by their own hands!  Use of pandemic fear and the many fakeries of  ‘alternative health’ which front for large multi-national corporate interests are actively engaged in the illusion of ‘health freedom’ to peddle this poison to the ‘informed’. Nano-silver is probably on its way to be restricted shortly as an environmental hazard for very good reasons. Should such (EPA) restrictions or bans on metal-colloid pesticides become law, only the colloidal silver peddlars will lose –you, on the other hand, can still make it at home if you choose. It’s so cheap once you get started, the bottles to store it in are far more expensive than the liquid, BUT the direction of research on people intentionally drinking CS is so alarming you may decide to stop immediately and get on a detox/anabolic/probiotic regimen to protect having a future life. If you’re a young man, drinking colloidal silver may impair your ability to have healthy children, or any children.

If you drink colloidal silver, please read this:

Prerequisite to understanding the context of this post is the introductory piece: https://jenniferlake.wordpress.com/2009/08/17/colloidal-silver/

The current title is inspired by this document on silver-resistant bacteria: “A note of warning: colonies of bacteria exposed to Ag(l) show black pigmentation that is likely to be reduced metallic Ag(0)...”  http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1016/S0168-6445(03)00047-0/full; from the same document:

After the 2001 anthrax scare in the USA, the Mayor of Tampa Florida publicly  called for adding Ag(I) to municipal drinking water as protection against  anthrax and HIV (unlikely to be effective, but equally unlikely to do harm)… In essentially all  situations, open public testing to demonstrate efficacy or harm is not available… What is needed for research? With the availability of the genes for silver  resistance, we have identified closely related genes in bacteria from  environmental and clinical environments and from diverse geographical locations  (A. Gupta et al., in preparation). These findings should eliminate recent  skepticism about the existence of silver-resistant bacteria. Now that the means  for identifying silver resistance determinants in Enterobacteriaceae is  available, similar efforts are needed with other common pathogens… The wide and uncontrolled use of silver products may result in more bacteria  developing resistance, analogous to the world-wide emergence of antibiotic- and  other biocide-resistant bacteria. Such resistant  microbes would be detrimental to clinical and hygienic uses that depend on the  microcidal properties of silver.” [section4] http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1016/S0168-6445(03)00047-0/full
   Bacterial silver-resistance and the threat of superbugs which is rapidly narrowing the “window of opportunity” for microcidal/antibiotic usage is the understandable looming concern in official health policy circles for having colloidal silver use restricted as an unregulated product. I don’t doubt it’s  also the ‘joke’ in American Biotech Labs’ naming of their popular product “ASAP”.
*

After writing an initial article on colloidal silver, I met with a barrage of biting retorts here at this blog. It piqued my curiosity. The editor of “Educate Yourself” website, Ken Adachi, launched an attack not only on me but on Dr. Joseph Mercola (http://www.mercola.com) suggesting that Dr. Mercola was ignorantly uninformed for warning his readers that CS could provoke “a severe cytokine storm”. Adachi takes credit for a retraction of that statement by Dr. Mercola –a situation of even greater concern and curiosity. The “cytokine storm”, which is an overreaction of the inflammatory response of the immune system is considered the cause of death in the 1918 Spanish Flu of the “healthy adult” population between 20-40. Mr. Adachi did not simply sqeal like a man getting his pockets picked. He invented an accusation that I’m a “pharmaceutical shill”, that Dr. Mercola is uninformed and under his influence, and that numerous “followers” of his loyally littered my blog with propaganda, to the point of opening false email accounts in my name. I figure I must be ‘over the target’, and that was the first salvo.

But if YOU don’t DIE, then WE can’t have a PANDEMIC, eh?

Since the time of publishing my ‘Colloidal Silver’ article here on the blog and the subsequent reaction, I’ve been following the trail of some of the CS peddlars. The corridors advance down paperless pathways to areas of ‘guilt by association’, and the implications are potentially enormous and dangerous to follow but more than that, the layers of deception are preventively daunting and confusing as is ever the case. Such is the war upon you. “All war is deception” –Sun Tzu.

Excerpts from the link above, regarding ingested colloidal silver:

..”silver nanoparticles can make adhesive interactions with cellular membranes and produce highly reactive and toxic radicals like reactive oxygen species which will cause inflammation and destroy cells like mitochondria..”

..”Silver affects denitrification bacteria such strongly that, in reality, disrupts the bacterium driven environmental denitrification processes..” [necessary in balancing microbial mitigation of the ecosystem; no real ecologist could support silver microbecides in the environment, and no real doctor/healer or health authority could support it in You beyond a critical life-saving measure]

..[nanosilver] can enter through the blood-brain barrier and accumulate in large motorneurones in the brain stem and spinal cord, neurons in cerebellar nuclei and glia…it is now known that the biological half-life of silver in the CNS is longer than in other organs..”

“It is known and acknowledged that long-term use of colloidal silver or silver salts..deposit metallic silver under the skin and abdominal viscera…manic depressive psychosis will develop at about the same time if not a short time after cutaneous argyria has been diagnosed. It leads to a ruptured aortic aneurysm and finally death.”

..”It shows toxic effects on human-friendly microbes..[in the environment]. These organisms deliver many crucial nutrients which are most essential in soil formation..”

What’s Your BQ?


*
“BQ” is your Biological Quotient. It’s closely related to your IQ and EQ. I don’t know if anyone else has coined the term yet, but I happily know that the concept is well illustrated in the body-mind-spirit gestalt (IQ,EQ,BQ) where a tangible proof of wholeness has real life values. A body temple would simply be a flimsy facade without a generous BQ. How do you know if your BQ is low? You would probably feel chronically depressed and run-down, irritable, unsociable, or worse; fearful and unloved.

The concept of BQ emerged from a personal experience of making simple but significant changes to my diet –I went raw; meat, milk, eggs, everything– and the impact was immediate. Previously, my diet was about 50% raw (mainly fruits and vegetables) and for a time I struggled with the challenge of undoing preconditioned aversions to foods like raw meat. The “power of food” took on such a profound meaning that I started a quest for information seeking support and comfort for these ‘new’ ideas –not new at all! In fact, the scientific literature is loaded with studies and experiments that few people have dared to publicize against the prevailing food conventions of our time.

A high BQ is a true measure of health, and no one can tell you how to measure it –you will just know. The word ‘health’ means ‘whole’ and it also means ‘holy’. Your BQ is the natural intelligence that integrates the living substance of the earth with the body-mind of your animal creature. It is 90% of your physical material and mediates the quality of your existence. It’s your ‘in-forming principle’. Raising my own BQ has resulted in a deep sense of groundedness and satisfaction that has stabilized and empowered my ‘other’ intelligences. All I can say is TRY IT!

Getting started:
…is a willingness to improve and eliminate the refined, processed and toxic additives from your diet, choosing instead to eat foods the way nature provides and do your own ‘processing’.
This wonderful essay from the Weston A. Price foundation highlights the gifts of health from the lessons of ‘traditional primitives’. http://www.westonaprice.org/traditional_diets/ancient_dietary_wisdom.html

excerpts:
“Price took photograph after photograph of beautiful smiles and noted that the natives were invariably cheerful and optimistic. Such people were characterized by ‘splendid physical development’ and an almost complete absence of disease, even those living in physical environments that were extremely harsh”.

..”groups that had come into contact with traders or missionaries and had abandoned their traditional diet for foodstuffs [like]..sugar, refined grains, canned foods, pasteurized milk and devitalized fats and oils…[had] rampant tooth decay, infectious illness and degenerative conditions. Children born to parents who had adopted the so-called civilized diet had crowded and crooked teeth, narrowed faces, deformities of bone structure and reduced immunity to disease. Price concluded that race had nothing to do with these changes..”

“In the Swiss village where Price began his investigations, the inhabitants lived on rich dairy products –unpasteurized milk, butter, cream and cheese– dense rye bread, meat occasionally, bone broth soups and the few vegetables they could cultivate during the short summer months…The children went barefoot in frigid streams during weather that forced Dr. Price and his wife to wear heavy wool coats; nevertheless childhood illnesses were virtually nonexistent and there had never been a single case of TB in the village.”

“African cattle-keeping tribes like the Masai consumed no plant foods at all; just meat, blood and milk….Southsea islanders..ate seafood of every sort..along with pork meat and fat and a variety of plant foods including coconut, manioc and fruit. Insects were another common food in all regions except the Arctic…”

“Price discovered ‘The diets of healthy native groups contained at least 10 times more vitamin A and vitamin D than the American diet of his day. These vitamins are found only in animal fats –butter, lard, egg yolks, fish oils and foods with fat-rich cellular membranes like liver and other organ meats, fish eggs and shell fish. Price referred to the fat soluble vitamins as ‘catalysts’ or ‘activators’ upon which the assimilation of all the other nutrients depended..”

“..researchers used such foods very successfully for the treatment of respiratory diseases such as TB, asthma, allergies and emphysema. One of these was Francis Pottenger whose sanirorium in Monrovia California served liberal amounts of liver, butter, cream and eggs to convalescing patients….Dr. Price consistently found that healthy ‘primitives’ whose diets contained adequate nutrients from animal protein and fat had a cheerful, positive attitude to life.”

Quarantine

Filed under: influenza,Modern History,police state — jenniferlake @ 6:10 am

Quarantine is “old medicine” reinvigorated for our times because “novel pathogens, both deliberate and newly emerging, may not be amenable to existing modern countermeasures..” . According to this policy report created by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS, Homeland Security), we live in “a time that has witnessed almost twenty new diseases in two decades [1980-2000] and the deliberate release of Bacillus anthracis through the mail”. http://www.birdflumanual.com/resources/Official_Pandemic_Plans/files/Quarantine%20Guidelines%20CSIS%202Nov2005.pdf

In the history of the United States, public health measures were matters for individual states with the federal government adopting a support role by a formal request for assistance, codified in 1824 by a landmark Supreme Court case, Gibbons v. Ogden. “The Court held that ‘the completely internal commerce of a State..may be considered as reserved for the State itself’ [and] that under the Constitution ‘states are [therefore] able to pass inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description, as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state’.” In the decades that followed, however, new diseases like yellow fever and cholera strained at the meager resources of pioneer towns and unprepared officials.

In 1878, during a major spread of yellow fever up the Mississippi Valley that claimed 20,000 lives, Congress passed the National Quarantine Act that empowered the Marine Hospital Service (MHS) to dispatch health officers and materiel to any needed area. The Surgeon General of the time, John Maynard Woodworth, is described as having “ambitious goals for the MHS..to provide health services to the entire nation”. http://leda.law.harvard.edu/leda/data/525/vanderhook2.html The Marine Hospital Service had been chartered 80 years previously in 1798 as the Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen, funded by a tax on sailors’ salaries, long noted as vectors for the spread of illness dating back to the Black Plague of 1347 when the first quarantine was imposed on ships in Venice, Italy.

The National Quarantine Act of 1878 strengthened US government power to regulate immigration, granted in 1875, which was formerly a right of the states. (US Supreme Court, California case ‘Chy Lung v. Freeman et. al’). Over the next 22 years federal authority was bolstered by a series of legislation designed to exclude undesirable immigrants and impose interstate quarantines until a turning point was reached for the consolidation of federal public health powers in 1900 with a return of the Black Death. It was far from the first time that plague had circulated in America, but the difference was in newly acquired facilities and agencies developed in the intervening years since 1878.

During an outbreak of smallpox in 1895 in Eagle Pass, Texas, MHS physician Milton J. Rosenau was appointed by the Surgeon General to manage a ‘sanitary cordon’ with 20 guardsmen to prevent a group of 300 itinerants from infecting the townspeople. Milton Rosenau was soon appointed as the chief of the new U.S. Hygienic Laboratory, becoming its second director in 1899. The initial director appointed in 1898, Joseph Kinyoun, was the first responder to an outbreak of plague in San Francisco’s Chinatown. He called upon his associate Milton Rosenau*, to bring a 2-man team to manage the crisis; Simon Flexner** and Llewelys Barker. The entire event was fiercely controversial and lasted for several years. The city of S.F. was undergoing intense political turmoil at the onset and the threat of plague, spread widely by stories in national newspapers, dealt a devastating blow to the state’s economy, eventually unseating its governor who claimed all along that the proofs of plague were unfounded.

Two years before the outbreak in 1898, the Marine Hospital Service and its reigning Surgeon General Wyman, had lost a major bid for federalization at the hands of states-rights defenders, but from 1901 onward the federal government had the power to “enforce quarantines without deference to state health laws”. The record of dissent against this power remains in the arguments raised in 1878: “that such power would interfere with fundamental states’ rights…the power to control quarantine is, in essence, the ability to control the threats visited upon one’s own body…[and] would remove from cities and states the ability to protect themselves..as they saw fit and give the MHS [todays NIH] undue power: Is the General Government preparing for the mustering and maintenance of an expensive local health police –an army of sanitarians that, like locusts in the field, eat up our substance and usurp our liberties?”


*Milton J. Rosenau
-served the MHS as SanFrancisco’s quarantine officer from 1895-1898 and would have been well familiar with the socio-political climate in the years before the plague outbreak! Prior to his service in San Francisco, Rosenau was in Europe attending courses in Berlin and Vienna and advising the US consulars in Hamburg and Antwerp. During his years as the chief of the Hygienic Laboratory (1899-1909) he transformed the agency from a ‘one-man-show’ into a campus-based research facility, and continued his career (1909-1935) at Harvard where he became the chair of the new Dept. of Preventive Medicine and Hygiene, Harvard’s School of Public Health.
   During the Spanish Flu of 1918, Rosenau was a Navy chief supervising Boston’s Chelsea Naval Hospital, where he famously attempted to infect ‘volunteer’ sailors, released from detention, with the mucous of flu victims. Despite direct spraying in the face/nose/throat and subjecting the men to continual exposure in the sick wards, they did not contract the Spanish Flu. Boston was a notorious hotspot for the contagion, and the most frightful accounts emanate from the Army’s Fort Devens.
   In addition to his quarantine and Naval duites, Milton Rosenau became an expert on polio and milk-pasteurization, writing “The Milk Question” in 1912. He served the Massachusetts State Board of Health from 1913 to 1922, after which he traveled to Russia and Palestine on fact-finding missions. After 1935 and his term at Harvard, Rosenau moved to the University of North Carolina where he established the School of Public Health,  its dean until his death in 1946.

**Simon Flexner
-previously at Johns Hopkins working with William Welch (1895-1898) and also traveling abroad on investigative medical missions, accepted a post at the University of Pennsylvania until his appointment as Director of the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research (RIMR) in 1903, where he served until his retirement in 1936. His most enduring medical legacy is the development of a meningitis vaccine, presumed to have been the test vaccine given to soldiers at Fort Riley, Kansas in 1918 by Rockefeller administrator Frederick Gates. 


On page 11 of the CSIS/bird flu manual linked above, the claim is made that “The Influenza Pandemic of 1918-19..infected a fifth of the world’s population, killing an estimated 675,000 Americans…Many of those suffering from the Spanish Flu were subjected to quarantine and isolation,…existing local quarantine stations were gradually turned over to federal control. By 1921, all quarantine stations were transferred to the federal government.” What had been a national ‘stealth’ power of public health in 1901 was functionally manifest in the aftermath of the Great Influenza and defined again in 1944 with the passage of the Public Health Services Act, passed in wartime under the administration of FDR. The US Army documents that the greatest number of influenza cases ever on record occurred in 1943-44, albeit less fatal.

But, for modern purposes, health authorities look to tuberculosis in bringing definition of the challenges inherent in disease control. “TB was once the leading cause of death in the United States…Globally, in 2003, an estimated 8.8 million people were infected and 1.75 million deaths occurred due to all forms of the disease.” Why choose TB for an example and not HIV/AIDS? The true answer may be a complex confrontation between the ‘overlapping’ definitions of “contagious” and “infectious”. TB is an aerosolized pathogen like influenza with the property of having developed multi-drug-resistant forms (MDR-TB) which “requires a minimum regimen of six months of daily drugs..[if] treatment is completed”. It has a long history of being fearful and fatal to the public resulting in quarantines, and the creation of an early NGO, the National Tuberculosis Association, which changed its name to the American Lung Association and came under the political control of the Laskers***. Modern TB patients who do not finish the entire course of drug treatment as prescribed are considered “noncompliant” and “In 1992, the US CDC found that 25 percent of all TB patients were noncompliant [and] recommended the use of quarantines to ensure treatment”.

The CDC’s euphemistic ‘guidelines’ were applied in New York City to “detained noninfectious TB patients in the Goldwater Hospital until they were cured…median length of confinement was 168 days; one patient was detained for an unprecedented 654 days [22 months]. Patients in other hospitals were only held an average for half that time” [10 or 11 months?]. Somehow and at some time, quarantine has become synonymous with forced treatment in lieu of a public perception to the contrary. Seemingly, forced treatment was not the case in the recent SARS outbreak of 2003, but forced quarantine with accompanying violence was a part of the larger picture of SARS.

***Laskers
Albert D. Lasker (1880-1952), considered the founder of modern advertising, was the CEO of ‘Lord and Thomas’ company for 40 years, specializing in the promotion of liquor, tobacco and food products. Lasker’s family roots in Galveston,TX and Germany generated wealth through the cotton exchange and flour-milling. Albert got a jump on a political career as well in 1917 as an assistant to the Secretary of Agriculture. Under FDR, he became an Asst. Sec. of the Navy. His friends, William ‘Wild Bill’ Donovan (OSS) and Lewis L. Strauss (Navy Admiral and chief of the Atomic Energy Commission), introduced him to his future wife Mary Woodard, a daughter of a banker who worked as a New York art buyer. The Laskers are noted for taking control of the American Cancer Society in 1944 and using a power base that included the American Heart Assoc., the American Lung Assoc. and the American Public Health Assoc. to drive national health policy. The 1946 National Mental Health Act was a key piece of legislation for the Lasker agenda, enabled by high-powered friends and insiders like Clark M. Clifford and Paul G. Hoffman. Mary Lasker worked together with Florence Mahoney and Anna Rosenberg lobbying privately in Wash,DC. The Lasker Award in medicine is presented by the foundation they established in 1942.


In the section “Quarantines Post 9/11” on page 12 (birdflumanual/CSIS) it’s stated that “most US states are ill prepared to undertake a large-scale quarantine…no large-scale quarantine has been implemented within US borders in modern day”. This is one of the many reasons, along with uncontrollable international travel and commerce, that the federal government has instead funded “international disease prevention”. Federal authority at home, however, is poised to override the actions of any state “if it is believed that a state’s actions are inadequate” and the CSIS evidently found this to be so, writing “most –if not all– states today lack operational plans”.

“Through a combination of vigilance and pure luck, the United States was able to elude a large-scale SARS outbreak” notes CSIS. What happened with SARS? Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome was an emerging infection that started in November of 2002 in Guangdong Province, China –the same region that saw China’s first influenza over a century ago. What began as a local outbreak was ‘carried’ to Hong Kong by a medical doctor who reportedly infected 12 people in his hotel who then further carried the infection into Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam and Toronto, Canada. The outbreak spread to Taiwan where the highest recorded number of people were affected; 150,000 ordered into quarantine, bringing the global total near to 200,000. The undeniable element in the SARS outbreak was that medical personnel became the VECTOR.

“In Hong Kong, over 22% of those hospitalized for SARS were medical workers; in areas of Taiwan the number reached 33%; and in Toronto, 46%”!! Only in an upside-down, inside-out reality does it seem as if exposed medical workers were victims of the public, and yet sick medical workers were allowed to continue and interact with “proper equipment”. Is it not curious, with known and documented associations of vaccines causing illness, that 46% of the Toronto health workers who were hospitalized corresponds very closely to western statistics of health workers who receive regular vaccinations? Sick medical workers who were able to perform did so because “almost all response teams were severely overburdened and understaffed”, an echo of the state of stress in US Public Health labs during the 2009 spring H1N1 episode. Field tactics used during the SARS epidemic included “phone calls, house visits, electronic picture monitoring and electronic tagging of noncompliant detainees” in a variety of settings from family homes to detention camps; the same techniques being broadcast as applicable to today’s pandemic, minus other measures forecast to ensure compliance such as road-block dragnets. What is the likelihood that these measures will be used? On a return to this subject, I’ll post some examples from the news.

Vaccine Nation

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Video documentary, Vaccine Nation
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TdSp3hyuHk&feature=related ( 10 parts, complete)

The film opens with historical scenes of the Salk polio vaccine, declared the greatest victory of modern public health practice, only polio is not contagious. The cause is systemic poisoning by chemicals and radiation. It’s a type of ‘flu’ that can, if severe, result in paralysis and death. Early neurologists of the Victorian era understood polio/paralysis as a brain and central nervous -cns- “infection”. Yale researcher David Bodian (in the 1940s) flatly called it encephalitis “in every case”.

The nutshell on polio: In 1902, the medical data collected in Europe on the illness for over three decades was finally published in the United States, including the long-term degenerative ‘sequelae’ which is called post-polio syndrome today (PPS, weakness, brain ‘fog’, myalgia, “aging”, etc.). Before WWI, the Rothschild’s hospital in NYC became a center for polio research and treatment while this ‘phenomenon’ of paralysis was hardly known to the broader medical community. Results of thousands of case studies were published by the Hospital of Joint Diseases’ most prominent practitioner, founder and world polio expert, Dr. Henry Frauenthal, who plunged to his death in 1927 from the top of the 7-story hospital building. For many years of its expansion(1919 to 1925), the Hospital for Joint Diseases was guided by its young president, Lewis L. Strauss (Kuhn, Loeb & Co. partner) who later became the executive chair of the Atomic Energy Commission during the mid-1950s when the polio vaccine was given to the public.
 
Poliovirus discovery, credited to Karl Landsteiner in Vienna in 1908, was subsequently confirmed by Simon Flexner, director of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York City,who went on to lead the nation’s research effort during the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918. During the same time frame (earlier, autumn 1917), his younger brother Bernard, known as an “ardent Zionist”,  led a Red Cross mission to Romania which routed supply trains across Siberia to Russia’s capital, Petrograd, in the weeks before the Bolshevik revolution.  Bernard, founding member of the CFR, and signer of the Paris Peace accords for the Zionist Organization of America,  spearheaded Nation-building for the Zionists in Palestine during the 20s and selective relocation for displaced Jewish scholars making their exodus out of Germany in 1933. Their younger brother Abraham, who wrote the Flexner Report (1910) which completely ‘reformed’ medical education in the U.S., went on to serve as president of both Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations’ General Education Board(s). In 1930, Abraham Flexner founded Princeton’s Institute of Advanced Study, where many displaced scholars found an institutional home, including Albert Einstein, John von Neumann and Eugene Wigner, 3 key persons in the making of the Atom Bomb. After WW2, J. Robert Oppenheimer became the director at Princeton IAS, and Lewis L. Strauss was its Board of Directors chairman.
 
The Rockefeller Institute also opened a Princeton, N.J. facility prior to U.S. involvement in WWI to specifically study animal diseases and perform field testing –cited in the blog (Pandemic Unfolding) as supervising the ‘swine flu’ experiments that inserted a human influenza virus into an infectious ‘swine’ flu bacterium in 1937. At the time of the Spanish Flu outbreak (Feb-Mar 1918), however, The Rockefeller Foundation’s administrator and chemobiologist, Frederick Gates, was in Fort Riley Kansas overseeing a meningitis vaccine program for the troops, perhaps a major contributor to the deaths on base. Influenza is caused by systemic poisoning, vaccine or not.  Any number of viruses may be involved, just as in polio, there as a crisis-response.  Adjuvants and additives were possibly much more deadly in earlier vaccines,  like “Freund’s Complete Adjuvant” which was quickly discontinued after mass inoculations, as was silicone. Today the adjuvant squalene is known as a trigger in multiple and horrific auto-immune reactions in the complex of Gulf War Syndrome illness. In the film linked above, producer and health practitioner Gary Null looks at the tragic consequences of Shaken Baby Syndrome as another result of vaccine-induced damage.
 
After the 1976 swine flu vaccine debacle, a number of public statements by physicians were published in reports by Eleanor McBean and Ida Honorof, including this, from Dr. Robert M. Simpson:
“Immunization programs against flu, measles, mumps and polio may actually be seeding humans with RNA to form proviruses which will then become latent cells throughout the body…some of these could be molecules in search of a disease, which under proper conditions become activated…”

…that is, if you survive the inoculations. Vaccines bypass not only the natural defenses of the immune system, but as the previous post would indicate, they bypass the natural regulation of the brain. In other words, vaccines are an attack upon the human brain. Flexner, Landsteiner, Salk, Sabin, George Merck, Maurice Hilleman, and all the creators of vaccines have been imposing the war strategy of Protocol No. 5 “to debilitate the public mind”.  Last century’s polio researchers may not have had an elegant biological explanation, but they did understand the nature of the damage.

Dis-ease Begins In The Brain


Have you heard that Influenza is not contagious?…perhaps no one has explained it adequately, but the work of Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer and his German New Medicine illustrates how this is so.

Dr. Hamer has developed a brilliant system of diagnoses with the use of CT (computerized tomography, radiograph) scanning based on his personal experience with cancer. Against considerable odds of persecution and imprisonment, the German New Medicine is “standing traditional medicine on its head”. Literally, one thinks. The New Medicine embraces a comprehensive approach of brain-directed injury and healing that employs the total resources of an organism’s biological ‘stuff’ in the process we call disease.  The brain displays the initial ‘injury’, what Hamer calls the “HH” or “Hamer’s seat”, as an energetic disturbance on a radiograph. The affected area of the brain highlights the corresponding organ(s) where an injury develops (lesion, ulcer, tumor, etc.) and a healing crisis ensues.

The cause of tissue/organ injury results from a “conflict shock” –great emotional stress– that begins what the doctor calls the “Dirk Hamer Syndrome” (DHS) named for his son who was murdered, initiating his own personal conflict-shock which led to cancer within a matter of 3 months.
Through this crisis, and considerable experience as a physician, Dr. Hamer gained his insight. Fear, grief and intense emotion, whether sudden or chronic, avoidable or unavoidable, has everything to do with it. Emotions are the ‘chooser’ of the time/place of illness. Disease returns when the emotional causes of it remain. “Biological conflict-shock is not a complex Freudian abstraction; it is a real life conflict that is very acute, traumatic and usually isolating (not easy to discuss or mull over with others)…Typically, it is life-threatening or fear-inducing news that causes this kind of shock. Hence, the sadly self-fulfilling aspect of a [disease]..”

According to New Medicine “every disease has a two-phased occurrence”, described as “cold” and “warm”. Cold being the “conflict-active” phase, the initiating sequence, and Warm being the “conflict-resolved”, or healing, phase. Dr. Hamer’s english-language website, http://www.newmedicine.ca/overview.php, explains:..”traditional medical practice has not correctly recognized a single disease. The healing-phase (e.g. ‘grippe’ or flu) in the cold diseases was either overlooked or misdiagnosed as a separate disease…These cold and warm diseases were not individual diseases but actually one of the two phases of one illness. Moreover, the cold phase is always first and the warm is always the second.”

“Dr. Hamer states that the biology of humans or animals is neither senseless nor without a system; there are no meaningless or random cancerous growths and no senseless or randomly occurring microbes…The brain directs all microbes. The immune system, traditionally imagined as a sort of army in the body fighting malignant cancerous cells and malignant [proliferating] microbes in a great battle, does not exist in this sense…no disease need be fatal.”…”Microbes, our helpers and companions, are directed by the brain. Microbes have worked for us, not against us, as faithful servants over umpteen billions of years of evolution…All microbes are more or less specialized, not only in view of the organs they work on, but also in the way and style in which they work..”

“Viruses are simply construction or reconstruction workers. They bring about significant swelling and refill ulcers and cellular substance losses..”

“Bacteria function as clean-up workers..”

“Fungi and mycobacteria are a destruction crew, i.e. they destroy..tumors..”

“The Spanish have coined a term for the German New Medicine; they call it La Medicina Sagrada (the Sacred Medicine)…nature is orderly…every occurrence in nature is meaningful…”
