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.

George Washington, Revolutionary War Bio-Warfare, British Crown

George Washington reportedly suspected the British of using biological warfare by sending infected individuals into American troop lines during the Revolutionary War. This historical context is used to argue that British intelligence has a long history of using disease as a weapon. The segment also touches on the "Triple Crown" theory of global control involving Washington D.C., the City of London, and the Vatican.

Genetic Tagging, NSA Surveillance and Edward Snowden

The X-Files featured storylines about using vaccinations to collect genetic information and tag the population long before modern debates on CRISPR-Cas9. The 2002 episode "Trust No One" depicted broad-spectrum NSA surveillance years before the Edward Snowden leaks. These episodes are highlighted for their confrontational stance against the Patriot Act era.

The discussion shifts to the historical use of infectious disease as a weapon, from smallpox-infected blankets to the Japanese bio-warfare program in WWII. Dr. Malone shares details from an upcoming Bobby Kennedy book regarding horrific human experiments where prisoners were autopsied while alive. These programs focused on the utilitarian principle that the ends justify the means in scientific research.

Manly P. Hall and Rudolf Steiner on Vaccination

The segment examines the historical opposition to vaccination by occultists Manly P. Hall and Rudolf Steiner. Hall's 1923 text, *The All-Seeing Eye*, is quoted describing vaccination as a "crime" that defiles the body and creates spiritual ills. Steiner's similar stance is highlighted to show that Gnostic and mystic thinkers have traditionally mistrusted medical and religious authorities.

Forrest Maready, Historical Vaccine Narratives and COVID-19 Skepticism

Greg Carlwood introduces author Forrest Maready to discuss the historical context of vaccination and the current COVID-19 narrative. Maready has authored several books including The Moth and the Iron Lung and Vax Baby, which examine the history of polio and pediatric vaccines. The discussion focuses on whether the medical establishment has used a consistent playbook to suppress vaccine risks throughout history.

Disease Mortality Charts, Dissolving Illusions and Medical Errors

Data from the book Dissolving Illusions shows that mortality rates for diseases like measles, scarlet fever, and whooping cough dropped by 90% before vaccines were introduced. Maready attributes this decline to improved medical care and the reduction of toxic metallic treatments rather than immunization. He cites a Johns Hopkins study identifying medical mistakes as the third leading cause of death in the United States to support his skepticism of the medical establishment.

Environmental Toxins and Historical Pandemics

The host questions how historical pandemics like the Black Plague or smallpox occurred before modern virology, leading to a discussion on environmental causes of disease. Smallstorm attributes modern outbreaks like Zika to glyphosate use rather than viruses and suggests that historical illnesses were often the result of pollution or ecological shifts. She argues that many conditions labeled as "viral" are actually toxicological responses to the environment.

Wayne Rohde reflects on his own childhood in the 1960s, noting the shift from natural immunity gained through "measles parties" to the modern intensive vaccination schedule.

Personal Illness Anecdote and Biological Weapon Speculation

Derek Brose shares a personal account of a severe illness he experienced in Mexico, characterized by intense bone pain and respiratory issues, despite not following social distancing or mask protocols. While he did not seek a formal diagnosis, he uses the experience to speculate on the possibility of a biological weapon release. He references the original "Dark Winter" exercise involving smallpox as a potential template for future viral events.

American Holocaust and the Myth of Imported Disease

The guests discuss Dr. David Stanard's book, American Holocaust, which argues that the decline of Native American populations was due to brutal slaughter, starvation, and forced labor rather than imported diseases like smallpox. They claim the "disease" narrative was a cover story to divert attention from the horrific treatment of indigenous people by European invaders.

Historical Disease Trends, Sanitation and Vaccine Efficacy

A review of historical health data suggests that the decline of diseases like measles, whooping cough, and diphtheria was primarily due to improved sanitation, refrigeration, and clean water rather than vaccines. The discussion claims that by the time the measles vaccine was introduced in 1968, mortality rates had already flatlined. They also suggest a correlation between polio outbreaks and the historical use of the pesticide DDT.

Edward Jenner, Smallpox Experiments and Dr. Alton Ochsner

The history of vaccination is traced back to Edward Jenner, who allegedly caused neurological disorders in his own son during smallpox experiments in 1789. Patrick Jordan draws a parallel to Dr. Alton Ochsner, whose grandchildren suffered death and paralysis after he publicly injected them with the polio vaccine. Jordan characterizes these historical and modern vaccine injuries as "fast kills" or "slow kills" amounting to murder.

Edgar March Cruickshank, Cowpox Fraud and Parliament

Professor Edgar March Cruickshank's 1889 investigation into cowpox outbreaks is presented as evidence that Edward Jenner's work was fraudulent. Cruickshank's two-volume history concluded that vaccination did not eradicate disease and was a medical curiosity. Jordan asserts that the British Parliament was complicit in a criminal conspiracy by funding Jenner despite knowing the practice was ineffective.

Jesuit Connection, Mercury Spells and John Duffy

The Society of Jesus (Jesuits) is linked to the spread of smallpox in Colonial America, with researcher John Duffy noting they were sent on missions equipped with shovels to bury the dead. Patrick Jordan references a 1599 book by Jesuit priest Del Rio regarding the use of mercury and animal blood for mind control. He characterizes the Jesuits as a sovereign military order that used disease as a tool for conquest.

Richard Nixon, Kidney Programs and MTHFR Gene Damage

In 1972, President Richard Nixon enrolled over a million Americans into a new kidney transplant and dialysis program, which Patrick Jordan views as a follow-up to intentional medical damage. He discusses the MTHFR (methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase) gene, claiming it is specifically damaged by the smallpox vaccine. Jordan suggests electronic medical records are used to track the success of these genetic "hits" across the population.

Unrepentant Documentary, Germ Warfare and Canadian Genocide Evidence

The documentary Unrepentant and the website Hidden No Longer document the experiences of 273 eyewitnesses to atrocities in Canadian residential schools. Evidence suggests the intentional spread of tuberculosis and smallpox among healthy indigenous children as a form of germ warfare to facilitate white settlement. Annett argues these actions meet every definition of genocide under the UN Convention, yet no individuals have been prosecuted for the estimated 50,000 deaths.
