Darya Shipilova Anagram and Black Death Theories

Greg Carlwood shares a finding from Nick Hinton regarding Darya Shipilova, a scientist reportedly killed by the Russian plague, whose name is an anagram for "Ladyship Viola." This name connects to Chinese folklore about a goddess who sent smallpox to Earth. The segment also touches on the book New Light on the Black Death, which suggests environmental or cosmic causes for historical plagues rather than just bacteria.

Black Death and the 1314 AD Aerial Attack

The Great Black Death of 1314 AD is recontextualized as an attack by large, cigar-shaped aerial objects rather than a plague spread by rats. Eyewitness accounts from the period describe these objects dumping putrid animal remains over Europe, leading to the ubiquitous blue-purple lesions that killed a third of the population. This narrative challenges the "sanitized" version of history promoted by modern academia.

Closing Thoughts on Space Weather and Historical Truth

Tess Clark concludes by urging listeners to watch for signs in space weather and to resist "divide and conquer" tactics. After the interview, Greg Carlwood reflects on the discussion, touching on alternative theories for the Black Death and the Spanish Flu. He expresses skepticism toward mainstream explanations of "reality-altering" technology like CERN, suggesting they may be "dog and pony shows" designed to make the elite appear more powerful than they are.

Iodine for Radiation Protection, Black Death Environmental Anomalies

The importance of iodine for thyroid health and protection against environmental radiation is discussed, citing the Japanese diet as a model for iodine repletion. DeCarle and Carlwood look at historical data from tree rings and ice cores suggesting that the Black Death coincided with major environmental anomalies like volcanic activity or comet impacts. They argue that these environmental stressors, rather than just a "plague," were responsible for mass mortality.

Electrical Environment and Comet-Induced Epidemics

Referencing Arthur Firstenberg’s The Invisible Rainbow, the conversation links historical disease outbreaks to changes in the Earth's electrical environment. Morrell suggests that comets, as highly charged electrical objects, can emit X-rays and trigger epidemics like the Black Death as they pass through the sky. This perspective views human health as deeply integrated into an "electric universe" that reacts to celestial and man-made frequencies.

Panspermia and the Extraterrestrial Origin of Viruses

Brown and Carlwood discuss the theory of panspermia, suggesting that viruses and life itself may originate from outer space. Brown cites the fact that millions of viruses rain down per square meter of Earth daily, potentially explaining the sudden emergence of lethal historical pandemics like the Black Death.

Black Death and the Poisoned Atmosphere Theory

The authors challenge the traditional narrative that the Black Death was caused by rat fleas. Citing dendrochronologist Mike Bailey, they argue that tree ring data and ice cores show the Earth's atmosphere was poisoned by comet debris in the 14th century. They suggest that environmental toxins, rather than bacteria, caused the mass die-offs of humans and fish during that period.

Population Growth, Engineered Diseases and The Great Flood

As the human population grew, Enlil complained of the noise and introduced devastating diseases and famines to cull the population. This historical narrative is linked to modern outbreaks like Ebola, HIV, and SARS, suggesting they are part of a long-standing Anunnaki strategy for human population control.

Black Angel of Death, Legend Tripping and the Gates of Hell

The practice of "legend tripping" is discussed, where individuals visit cursed sites like the Black Angel of Death in Iowa City or the "Gates of Hell" in Collinsville, Illinois, to provoke spirits. Chad Lewis notes a trend of people seeking out these "dares" to validate paranormal claims, despite the potential for negative psychological or physical outcomes. He shares a personal story of receiving a rare speeding ticket the day after visiting a cursed statue, questioning the link between the event and the legend.

Jubilee System, Babylon and the 1340s Financial Crisis
