(West Nile Virus, Swine Flu, the Great London Smog, measles, SARS, 1918 Flu, COVID-19)
Overview
Flu and pneumonia symptoms induced by airborne pollutants are commonly mistaken for and medically misdiagnosed as a viral or bacterial syndrome. Medical training and research funding emphasizes viruses or other alleged pathogens and gives little if any attention to toxicology.
Historical precedents reveal that governments are willing to take advantage of the gullibility of the public and widespread fascination with viruses and contagion to cover for industrial malfeasance. When industrial pollutants sicken, maim and kill, blame is laid on a new virus and virus hunters are put to work to find it. Research with exclusive attention given to alleged "viral causation" is paid for by oversized government and industry grants.
Yet evidence of viruses is weak. Virology habitually ignores the scientific method, though it gives an appearance of being "scientific" through specialized jargon and technological complexity. If actual science were the aim it would require taking into account confounding factors, yet virologists ignore confounding toxicological factors at every step: they ignore causal relationships of toxic substances present in indoor and outdoor environments, in the laboratory experiments they perform, and in their so-called "virus stocks."
Due to the mind-numbing myopia generalized in academia and in the population, many obstacles must be overcome for a researcher or writer who wishes to bring into view anything outside the conceptual constraints of the virus/pathogen paradigm. Many objections arise spontaneously in those who are unable, even temporarily, to suspend disbelief in order to conceive of what may have been misinterpreted or overlooked—even when the truth is literally right before our noses.
Vehicle emissions and emissions from oil refineries are notorious for causing all kinds of illness, even death, and are especially associated with respiratory illness. The new practice of fracking has exponentially augmented already-potent toxic assailants from refineries and fuel burned in vehicles and indoor stoves and boilers. In particular, increases in hydrogen cyanide associated with fracking may be the cause of increased incidence of "new symptoms" attributed to Covid-19 like feeling unable to breath and changes in smell and taste. According to Earth Justice's 2019 report, though limits on hydrogen cyanide released into the atmosphere are set for specific refineries in the U.S., levels are not monitored by the Environmental Protection Agency save via monitoring of its so-called surrogate indicator carbon monoxide—levels of which do not correspond with hydrogen cyanide levels. Moreover, as it has been discovered that refineries are exceeding their stated emissions of hydrogen cyanide, they in turn have appealed for higher and higher limits. In the now over-industrialized regions of Asia and Latin America, industrial oversight is even more lax and the population less likely to pressure governments to constrain widespread pollution. In many such countries, vehicle emissions regulations are non-existent; people ignore horrendous pollution considering it a part of life in a continuum which younger generations perceive as having no beginning, no developments, and no end.
Medical tests for "viruses" also look for surrogates: proteins claimed to be part of a virus (in the case of PCR testing) or reactive to a virus (as in antibody tests). When a patient or asymptomatic person is said to be "positive," the illusion of a deadly viral illness is cemented on the consciousness of all. Yet, contrary to popular belief, "viral genomic sequences" that PCR tests are allegedly based on are never empirically found but contrived via complex computer assembly of thousands of tiny bits of protein codes of unknown origin and significance to conform to templates preselected from an international database of likewise never-empirically-found but arbitrarily constructed "viral genomes." When PCR finds increased amounts of select short amino acids in sick people, it does not confirm the presence of a virus, an entity that is only alleged to exist. The breakdown of cells during sickness leads to a greater amount of cellular debris—including amino acids that viruses are alleged to be made of—than during health, which can lead to a "positive" PCR test since proteins claimed to be part of viruses are found in all humans. Even large numbers of completely healthy people—along with papayas, goats, coca cola, sea water, etc.—will be "found positive" when a high number of PCR doubling-cycles is used, as has been commonplace in the Covid-era.
Likewise, proteins called "immunoglobulins" detected by "antibody" tests are naturally found in greater amounts in sick people as they are used by the body for binding and repair. They are not specific to "viruses" or even to disease: globulins are employed in recovery from any kind of injury and are found in especially large amounts in pregnant women as they are used to build the placenta (resulting in high numbers of "false positives" among pregnant women for so-called "HIV antibodies," for example). The fraud of so-called "antibody" testing has been exposed by German evolutionary biologist Stefan Lanka and by the Italian scientist Stefano Scoglio, among others.

Toxicology, “West Nile virus" and "Swine flu"
Perhaps you've never heard of "toxicological flu." I certainly hadn't until I began to discover articles written on it by medical researcher Jim West.
West is the researcher resposible for reviving the buried 1950s work of Morton S. Biskind MD and Ralph R. Scobey MD on pesticides and polio. Perhaps less well-known are West's detailed articles showing association of various sources of toxic air pollution with flu-like illnesses including whooping cough, swine flu, West Nile Virus disease, SARS, measles, and more. One of the best introductions to the subject is his article on the so-called swine flu of 2009 (also archived here):
"Flu is nearly always considered viral, as evidenced by a search of CDC (Centers for Disease Control) website, the New York Times, or any media. Medical campaigns vaccinate millions worldwide, purporting to protect against flu epidemics, yet the symptoms of viral flu are the same as those of toxicological flu, and flu epidemiology makes toxicological sense.
[...]
Vehicular exhaust contains thousands of components, many of which are toxic; for example, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether), acrolein, toluene, aldehydes, sulfur dioxide, sulfuric acid, hydropeeroxyl radicals, benzene arsenic, hydrogen cyanide, nitropyrenes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), methane, phenol ... ethylene, methane, NO, NO2, and acetaldehyde."
West takes carbon monoxide poisoning as an example, since it's "well documented and commonplace," and cites Dolan et al (1985), who write:
"[T]he literature is well supplied with reports of patients with subacute CO poisoning who were misdiagnosed as having [virus] influenza and sent home with disastrous consequences."
To which West adds, "Disaster also strikes before being sent home."
A potent example is the "swine flu" epidemic that struck St. Francis Prep School in late April 2009. "This school epidemic represents the highest incidence worldwide for swine flu," West says. Coincidentally, it occured in the same highly polluted district as the flu-like "West Nile Virus" epidemic ten years earlier: Flushing Meadows, Queens, New York City.
The 1999 epidemic itself had come amidst a prolonged epidemic of crows and other birds falling out of the sky (other animals perishing too; see study questioning the official narrative). Ever heard of canaries in the coal mine, used "to detect carbon monoxide and other toxic gases" that could endanger the miners? West says his "published research found toxic MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) at 15% of gasoline in epicenters, with this unknown to the general public. The EPA recommended MTBE for ban at the height of the epidemics in 1999. MTBE began a slow phase-out. The West Nile pandemic diminished over the years."
Getting back to swine flu, Jim's first article on the epidemics, published in the Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, is long and thorough, detailing the Flushing Meadows epidemic of 2009 and highlighting wind patterns that drove pollution from immediately adjacent heavy expressway traffic directly toward the school. In a later article, he sums up:
"I reviewed scores of school epidemics, but mainly I focused on St. Francis Middle School in Queens, located next to the Long Island Expressway. This epidemic was huge and sudden, attacking many students within 30 minutes.
Obviously, this was not a virus, as the DOH had declared. Environmental factors were avoided by use of virus drama.
[...]
12 hours of polluted air flowed unwavering, directly into the school from the expressway, before the morning the school opened. As the children began entering the school they began vomiting within 30 minutes.
A DOH team [New York Department of Health] arrived in the afternoon and declared a virus emergency without toxicological tests (according to personnel interviews). The DOH online forum, dedicated to answering the public questions re this epidemic, closed immediately following my innocent inquiry regarding environmental testing."
Allow me to paint the picture:
For an entire school year, day in and day out, the poor students have been assaulted with heavy pollution and deafening noise from 18 lanes of expressway traffic right next door. Their lungs are chronically clogged with particulate matter, their kidneys and other organs doing their best to purge the potent toxins accumulating in their bodies. Then one April morning before they arrive for another day at school to be drenched in the dogmas of modern civilization, steady, low, unidirectional winds in line with traffic bring the concentration of pollution at the school to an unusual high, and their bodies began to succumb, their convulsions uncomprehended cries for relief. And when the DOD arrives with their ears plugged to the noise from the expressways, their olfactory senses deadened to the stench, their eyes shut so as not to see the obvious, the only thing they can muster from their lips that shake with the pronouncement is the century-old refrain, "It must be a viral scourge!"
....
But if you think pollution doesn't cause flu or think temporary weather conditions can't dramatically augment its effects, think again.
The Great London Smog of 1952
In 1952, the UK government tried to cover up thousands of deaths from coal pollution, passing it off as a contagious influenza, only later admitting they'd "made a mistake." But meanwhile, they'd stealthily given the thick pall of smoke that had blanketed the city streets the misleading name "the Great London Fog." Smoke from "a million chimneys" of coal-burning open hearths had filled the air all winter. But during five days, temporary weather conditions pushed things to an extreme. In a 2002 article commemorating the 50th anniversary of the event, Paul Brown, Environmental Editor for the UK Guardian, wrote:
"The blanket of cold air from the continent which became stationary over the capital caused the warm, smoke laden air from homes and power stations to cool and fall back to earth. It created a blanket of sulphurous smog so dense that visibility was less than half a metre."
Brown says, "Some of the 4,000 who died in the five days it lasted did not suffer lung problems—they fell into the Thames and drowned because they could not see the river."
Brown continues:
"To cover up the true extent of the smog disaster, the government invented a [viral] influenza epidemic. In fact research has shown there was no epidemic and that the thousands of people who continued to die for the next four months did so because of air pollution. ... Devra Davis, honorary professor at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine ... blames Harold Macmillan, then minister for housing, for suppressing the truth about dirty coal. A later claim by the Ministry of Health that 5,665 had died of [viral] influenza in the first three months of 1953 was a fabrication to hide smog deaths."
—Paul Brown, "50 years after the Great Smog, a new killer arises.”
Devra Davis, PhD, wrote an article on the 1952 public health disaster in History Today. She has documented many official air pollution many coverups in her book, When Smoke Ran Like Water: Tales of Environmental Deception and the Battle Against Pollution.
Though public pressure in the ensuing decade forced the UK government to enact policies to reduce pollution from coal, and coal used in indoors was gradually displaced by central heating, the reduction in thick, visible smog from coal was replaced by emissions from an ever-growing number of motor vehicles on the road. Near constant media fear-mongering about deadly viruses has numbed the minds of the majority. These days, many people can hardly think in terms of anything else as being the cause of respiratory illness. When a bit of attention is given to other things that might cause or exacerbate illness, these are couched in politically-correct, career-safe terms as "cofactors" or "risk factors"; the idea of anything other than a virus or pathogen being an actual cause of illness is rarely entertained, and hardly ever given serious consideration.
But why would the government hide the truth?
Generally, governments in modern society serve the interests of corporations and the elite. Corporate interests fund corporate-tailored "science" and influence media corporations who decide the stories that are told and decide whether political candidates get good publicity, bad publicity, or any publicity at all. Once they've got their man or manly woman into office they continue to lobby them to support the policies that serve their interests. Bureaucrats themselves aren't elected anyway, but hired, or appointed by the politicians in turn managed by others behind the scenes. Revolving doors between government departments and industry are endemic.
Incidentally, "the pharmaceutical and health products industries have historically been one of the biggest and most powerful lobbies in Washington. Drug companies enjoy more power and influence in America than with any other government in the world." [Business Pundit]
The related oil industry, alongside coal and the defense industry (the latter the biggest polluter in the world), also rank near the top in lobbying influence and spending. With a bit of luck and a lot of slight of hand, policies can be implemented to serve the interest$$$ of all.
So when, say in the 1950s, coal is polluting London, who decides how much pollution is okay, how many deaths are allowed, what the "solution" is, what the cure? Who decides what story is told? Who funds research to bolster the story? And when, today...
New York measles outbreaks, 2019
In a study of 21 cities in China, Chen et al (2017) found "evidence that measles incidence is associated with exposure to ambient PM2.5 ... Effective policies to reduce air pollution may also reduce measles incidence"
Possible association with other kinds of pollution was not studied.
"The epidemics began late 2018 and continue to date (7/29/2019). It is possible that New York may complete a 12-month epidemic, which would be unusual because measles is supposedly a seasonal disease," West reported in 2019 in a detailed study.
"In the days leading to April 9, 2019, measles incidence spiked in the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Williamsburg and Borough Park," two of the three New York epicenters of the outbreaks, the third being East Ramapo in Rockland County. Ramapo is the county's largest town.
On April 11, The Washington Post reported that, "New York City has had 285 cases since October 2018, virtually all of them in Brooklyn. Of those, 229 were reported this year, accounting for nearly half of the 465 cases that have been reported nationwide in 2019."
The NY Department of Health didn’t conduct any environmental study. Blame was laid on the high concentration of ultra-Orthodox Jews in Williamsburg refusing to vaccinate their children. Mayor Blasio issued an ultimatum:
"...every unvaccinated person living in the ZIP codes 11205, 11206, 11211 and 11249 — regardless of whether they have been exposed to the infection — are required to receive the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine to stymie the outbreak."
If not, fines would be implemented ... and they were, up to $1000 per head.
Mayor Blasio and his symphony of media pundits apparently failed to make a thorough review of the scientific literature. Dusty and overlooked was a 1987 article that appeared in the American Journal of Public Health under the title, "Measles outbreak in a vaccinated school population: epidemiology, chains of transmission and the role of vaccine failures":
“An outbreak of measles occurred in a high school with a documented vaccination level of 98 per cent.”
70 per cent of cases occurred in vaccinated students.
Moreover, they overlooked that supposed viral causation of measles -the presumed basis for measles vaccination—has no scientific foundation. Perhaps they relied on Webster as a source in their "scientific investigation."
mea·sles | \ ˈmē-zəlz \
Collegiate Definition
1a: an acute contagious disease that is caused by a morbillivirus (species Measles morbillivirus) and is marked especially by an eruption of distinct red circular spots
— called also rubeola
b: any of various eruptive diseases (such as German measles)
—Merriam-Webster, 2023
But the beloved Webster, in the grave, was unable to get the message through to his bequeathed to update his dictionary, in 2017, after Stefan Lanka proved in Germany's highest courts that of the 30,000 papers written on "measles virus," none established the alleged virus' existence, German or otherwise; the methodologies of Enders and the myriads who've followed in his wake, lacking controls, are inconclusive and unscientific; confounding toxicological factors have been ignored at every step.
Webster's progeny also neglect to mention that measles starts out as a respiratory, flu-like illness. Uh oh, there we are again... flu-like.
Perhaps Tilden was nigher the truth when he said:
“Measles is the manner in which a child’s body throws off toxemia.”
—John Tilden MD, Impaired Health: Its Cause and Its Cure Vol 2 (1921)
Old hazards, new assaults
West identifies a number of new sources of contamination in the area of the Brooklyn epidemics:
A new power plant opens.
The use of toxic fracking gas fuel increases.
A new fracking pipeline opens.
EPA remediation disturbs Superfund site pollution.
Record-high petroleum production and export.
Modified refinery protocols may have been applied globally, related to fracking. High toxicity fracking fuel used in power plants increases outdoor air pollution. Used in stoves and boilers, it increases indoor pollution.
These were added to constant, old hazards:
Power plants are near and upwind.
EPA Superfund sites indicate a legacy of poisoned earth and water, leading to indoor air pollution.
Manufactured Gas Plants (MGP), defunct, became Superfund sites.
Refineries, defunct, became Superfund sites
Superfund sites correlate with epidemic epicenters.
After much further detailed review, West concludes that pollution was the cause of the epidemics, but that industry stranglehold on all things health-related means that relevant data is never collected, studied or made available to the public:
With environmental factors avoided, virus causation is therefore MOOT (i.e., unresolved, debatable). The need for emergency vaccination must then be moot.
In 2020, something much more serious than the measly measles would hit New York. New York epicenters of a "new illness" would be the same:
Williamsburg (Brooklyn, NY)
Borough Park (Brooklyn, NY)
East Ramapo (Rockland County, NY)
But first it will strike Wuhan, Milan, Madrid.
China pollution, an ongoing nightmare
The hazes can be choking and can reduce visibility at noon to a few tens of yards. Fumes belch from factory chimneys, coal-fired power plants, heating systems in apartment blocks, and millions of road vehicles. When the weather traps smog in the streets, city hospital admissions soar and the morgues fill.
— YaleEnvironment360 (2018)
Mark Hertsgaard writing for The Atlantic Monthly on Guangdong Province, where the greatest outbreak of SARS took place in 2003, says,
At least five of the cities with the worst air pollution in the world are in China. Sixty to 90 percent of the rainfall in Guangdong . . . is acid rain. . . people’s lungs and nervous systems are bombarded by an extraordinary volume and variety of deadly poisons. One of every four deaths in China is caused by lung disease.
—cited in Jim West, The SARS Epidemic: Are Viruses Taking the Rap for Industrial Poisons?
In 1995, the author of this article lived in the booming city of Shenzhen that lies sandwiched between Guangdong and Hong Kong, and can attest to the pervasive, asphyxiating pollution in the region.
In many Chinese cities, pollution from sulphurous coal reminiscent of London circa 1952 is combined with choking exhaust from tens of thousands of motor vehicles.
"The unprecedented speed of industrialization and urbanization has combined two eras of pollution."
— How a ‘Toxic Cocktail’ Is Posing a Troubling Health Risk in China’s Cities, YaleEnvironment360
Overwhelmed with pollution, the country's largest cities like Beijing and Shanghai have implemented restrictions that have motivated polluting industries to relocate to lesser known parts of China, such as Wuhan.
Wuhan, December 2019
pneu·mo·nia | \ nu̇-ˈmō-nyə , nyu̇- \
: an acute disease that is marked by inflammation of lung tissue...
— Merriam-Webster
Wuhan is a city of over 11 million residents, China's seventh largest—a"China thoroughfare" located at a central crossroads of the densely populated mideastern part of the country. Called "the Chicago of China," it is among the most polluted cities in the entire world. A joint study published in the WHO bulletin lists Wuhan as one of a handful of Chinese cities with the worst levels of multiple contaminants.
In December of 2019, a number of patients interned in a Wuhan hospital were reported to have atypical pneumonia. In fact, this is not uncommon: 20-30 percent of pneumonia is generally tagged as "atypical." In a country of more than a billion people, and in a polluted city of millions, it is not unusual to find a significant number of people with pneumonia (both "typical" and "atypical") along with other lung conditions of some variety.
Growing social media concern in China throughout the month of December about a possible "new outbreak" centered in Wuhan at least partially reflected lingering fears concerning possible reemergence of a SARS-like respiratory virus after the highly dramatized 2003 epidemic. Given the chronic pollution and respiratory trouble plaguing China, these rumors may have been without real merit: social media is not known for objectivity. On the other hand, there may have been a very real new threat.
Pneumonia is designated atypical whenever tests have been done and the bacteria or other organisms typically blamed for causing the condition are not found. Often atypical pneumonias are blamed on other microorganisms, but the medical establishment's near-exclusive blaming of microorganisms for such conditions is disingenuous. Many if not all microorganisms that are claimed to be harmful pathogens are found in the sick and healthy alike. When some are found more frequently in certain disease conditions, it does not demonstrate cause any more than finding vultures near a dead animal proves the vultures caused the death. Certain microorganisms, such as many if not all varieties of bacteria and fungi, provide a necessary and vital function—that of decomposing already dead or dying matter, just as one sees everywhere in nature! Bacteria are used industrially to break down human waste. They are opportunistic scavengers and janitors.
Little publicized is the fact that microorganisms are pleomorphic—morphing and obtaining different form and function according to the environment in which they are found. The science of pleomorphism is as old as germ theory, thoroughly demonstrated by the French physician and microbiologist Antoine Bechamp in the late 1800s—whose groundbreaking work on fermentation Pasteur merely plagiarized and distorted—and confirmed and further described by several generations of scientists to follow... to the present day!
Moreover, as Stefan Lanka has pointed out, noninfectious causes of pneumonia are often suppressed—doctors and the public kept in ignorance—even though they are described in the scientific literature:
There are actually several causes of atypical pneumonia which are not “infectious”...
Causes include the breathing in of poisonous fumes, solvents, and other chemical products...
He goes on to enumerate a number of other documented noninfectious causes of pneumonia. Especially relevant to the high number of deaths that would later occur in nursing homes is the following:
In older people there are known causes for hypostatic pneumonia; this happens because of water accumulation (oedema) from prolonged bed rest, [or] heart or kidney weaknesses, which can lead to a lack of air and blood to the lungs as a direct consequence of their inflammation.
Many medications, particularly those that would be used in high doses for "Covid" or (allegedly) to prevent Covid-related anxiety, can affect either the heart or kidneys, or both, as well as the lungs.
Though Lanka mentions "poisonous fumes ... and other chemical products," for whatever reason he neglects to call attention to air pollution which often contains both of these, as well as harmful particulate matter. (Several years ago, my mother was diagnosed with pneumonia from exposure to pesticide drift from adjacent croplands).
Air pollution is of special concern in such highly polluted places as burgeoning Chinese cities; both poisonous fumes and particulate matter are a source of irritation and congestion of the lungs.
According to stoppneumonia.org:
Air pollution is the leading risk factor for death from pneumonia. An estimated 30% (749,200) of all pneumonia deaths in 2019 were attributable to air pollution according to the GBD. Of all causes of air pollution, it is particulate matter measuring less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter – less than a 30th of the diameter of a human hair – that causes the largest burden of disease. This “PM2.5” is emitted both outdoors and indoors, from vehicles, coal-burning power plants, industrial activities, waste burning, farming practices, and household cooking and heating using coal, charcoal, wood, agricultural residue, animal dung, and kerosene.
The article also asserts that:
The estimated 2.5 million pneumonia deaths that occurred in 2019 will rise massively in 2020 after COVID-19 deaths are included. No other infection causes so many deaths, according to the Global Burden of Disease (GBD).
When a team of virologists and epidemiologists from Beijing arrived in Wuhan on December 31, 2019 to provide support amidst the growing social media alarm, their analysis of the situation included no toxicological survey. As typical bacteria were not found in the pneumonia patients, they immediately set to work to find a virus.
Fan Wu et al. who published a month later one of the two seminal studies from Wuhan, make the following curious admission in their Methods section:
No statistical methods were used to predetermine sample size. The experiments were not randomized and the investigators were not blinded to allocation during experiments and outcome assessment.
So what was the "sample size"? A single "suspect case" presenting with "acute onset of fever" along with "cough and chest tightness."
(The other official study, Na Zhu et al., didn't do much better. They studied a total of four "patients with pneumonia of unknown cause." Why did they choose to study only four when according to the ECDC there were at least 27 patients hospitalized with pneumonia in Wuhan by the time the team arrived from Beijing, and 7 in critical condition?)
Fan Wu's team analysed a crude sample of bronchial-alluvial lavage fluid (BALF) taken upon admission of the patient in a Wuhan hospital and came up with tens of millions of amino acid reads of unknown provenance. From these they created over a million contigs—longer sequences invented by computer pasting short reads together—and decided the longest contig consisting of around 30,000 nucleotide pairs belonged to a new SARS-like virus!
Did you notice anything strange about this process? Even centrifuged culture supernatant, gradient-density purified to the alleged density of viruses, contains billions of nucleic acid molecules, the vast majority of which can be found belonging to humans and ubiquitous bacteria. But Fan Wu et al. performed no centrifuging, no filtering, no purification, and yet they claimed to have "found" and described a new virus.
Drs. Bailey and Smith describe this in greater detail:
It is important to note that the samples sent for sequencing were not physically isolated viruses but crude samples containing millions of unique genetic fragments from the patient himself, innumerable microbes, even from the air the patient had breathed on the way to the hospital. Over 56.5 million reads were produced from this genetic “soup” and pieced together to create 384,096 contigs (long genetic sequences) on Megahit, and 1.32 million contigs on Trinity [computer assembly platforms]. Perhaps with a predisposition to prove their unproven canard that there is “the ongoing ability of viral spill-over from animal to cause severe disease in humans”, Fan Wu et al. chose the longest (30,474 nucleotides), which, they claimed, had a nucleotide identity of 89.1% with the in silico bat coronavirus genome (SL-CoVZC45) invented in 2018. Thus, a “genome” that was as close genetically as a human is to an Abyssinian house cat became the template used for primer design for the RT-PCR method to supposedly detect a virus that had not been shown to exist. Subsequently, it was decided that the genome needed a cut and paste, perhaps to make it look even closer to the 29,802 nucleotides of the bat model SL-CoVZC45 and it was reduced to 29,875 nucleotides in the next version on GenBank. But the artists weren’t finished with their creation and a third and final model was drawn with a completely different terminal sequence featuring 23 consecutive adenine bases, which, hey presto, looked more like the bat model that featured 26 consecutive adenine bases on its tail. It is unclear how the virologists knew which “genome” to choose when all of the options were hypothetical computer constructs.
—Dr Mark Bailey and Dr John Bevan-Smith, The COVID-19 Fraud & War on Humanity (2021). References omitted.
The hypothetical sequence the virologists' computers created out of thin air would be entered into the world database, and ALL virologists claiming to sequence SARS-COV-2 or its morbidly terrifying "deadly variants" would use it for their template. PCR tests for the "virus" would test for nothing more than one or two very short snippets of the in silico sequence.
Note that it is this same freely-invented sequence that is claimed by some as proof that "SARS-COV-2" is a man-made virus created in a lab via gain-of-funtion experiments. The lab-leak hypothesis sustains and markedly augments fear of viruses, fear of contact with others and personal disempowerment. It strengthens belief in contagion propaganda and provides further distraction from the very real hazards of toxic exposures.)
PCR test invented out of thin air, panic ensues
On January 1, 2020, researchers at Charité Hospital in Berlin including professors Corman and Drosten began developing a PCR assay (test) based on social media rumors from China of a respiratory disease outbreak and on suspicion that it could be caused by a new SARS-like virus. There were no patients or patient samples in Berlin, and not even a single official report from China. And there were as yet no invented, hypothetical sequences of an alleged new virus. When the first provisional sequences became available online on January 10 and 12, the Charité researchers immediately put them to use to further their ambitious enterprise in the absence still of samples or of any published study from China. The paper describing their RT-PCR test for detecting the “new coronavirus” would be submitted to EcoSurveillance on January 21 and published within 48 hours of submission, failing to disclose the researchers’ conflicts of interest. In the meantime, before even superficial review or publication, on 21 January the WHO would recommend the Charité test for use everywhere. It became the most prominently used PCR test in the world for the alleged new virus. This was days before the first official studies from China were published on January 24 and February 3, 2020, both of which could not make the claim that they had shown the existence of a new virus causative of illness.
The fact that the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended the PCR test developed by Professor Drosten for proving the new virus, even before the publication of the two Chinese sequencing suggestions, is proven. Professor Drosten used unproven scientific data for his quickly globalised PCR-test for the 2019-nCoV, which was renamed with his participation SARS-CoV-2 on 07/02/2020. [i.e. Feb 7, 2020]
With the renaming of the description of a mere suspicion of a possibly defective or harmless virus “nCoV” to a dangerous pathogen “SARS-CoV-2” the impression was implanted in the public, that an actual SARS-virus was discovered in China, which causes a dangerous disease, namely SARS [Sudden Accute Respiratory Syndrome] ...

Lombardy, Italy 2020
On January 31, 2020, a mere 10 days after the WHO's recommendation of the Corman-Drosten PCR test, the Italian Council of Ministers declared a 6-month national emergency after two Chinese tourists traveling from Wuhan "tested positive." That is, emergency state powers were declared a full three weeks before the first Italian citizen "tested positive" on February 20—a seventy-eight year old retired brick layer from the village of Vo' Euganio, who later died in the hospital while under hospital treatment for pneumonia.
The following excerpt is taken from an exceptional article detailing the many circumstances that would lead to overcrowding of several hospitals in the north of Italy in March of 2020. Note the mention of weather conditions aggravating the effects of pervasive pollution.
The Po River Valley in Northern Italy is cited as having the worst air quality in all of Europe. The air quality in the region has been deteriorating for many years. The cities in the Po River Valley are cited as having the highest mortality burdens associated with air pollution in all of Europe.
Along with the sheer volume of pollutants, the Po River Valley is known for its unique characteristics of low winds and prolonged episodes of climatic inversions turning it into a holding tank for atmospheric pollution.
The Lancet Planetary Health report from January 2021 estimated death rates associated with fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide pollution in 1000 European cities. Brescia and Bergamo in the Lombardy region held the morbid distinction of having the highest death rate from fine particulate matter in Europe. Two other Northern Italian cities, Vicenza and Saronno placed fourth and eighth respectively, in the list of top ten cities in this category. These locations correspond precisely with the highest incidents of upper respiratory infections occurring in Northern Italy as reported in the official pandemic narrative.
Ongoing and accelerating “epidemics” of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, (a severe and progressive lung disease), interstitial lung disease and high rates of bronchial and lung cancer were signature epidemiological features of Northern Italy long before an alleged virus ventured onto the scene.
—Michael Bryant, Italy 2020: Inside COVID’s ‘Ground Zero’ In Europe
The article also details the little-told fact that due to cuts in funding, the number of hospital beds has been gradually reduced for years in northern Italy and other places around the world, leading to overcrowding:
The net effect of these radical cuts to hospital infrastructure and services in the context of the covid hysteria were predictable; for years Italian ICU physicians have been reporting that flu outbreaks cause ICU units to fill up as was the case in locations across the world.
U.S. epicenters
Spikes in pollution caused by a federal relaxation of air quality standards in March [2020] led to increases in Covid-19 deaths in the most industrialized areas of the United States, new research suggests. Meanwhile, several other recent studies reveal that people who live in the most polluted areas ... are more likely to suffer severe symptoms and die from the disease.
The revelations, which many scientists have been expecting since air pollution is known to exacerbate respiratory diseases ... come as the White House is working to roll back numerous clean-air regulations, and as air pollution—which was declining for decades—is surging back.
—"A Surprise Surge in Air Pollution..." Elemental 7/19/20
The two largest US epicenters, the Tri-State Region [NY, NJ, CT] and Louisiana, are both amidst the largest petrochemical regions in the U.S., and downwind from power plants fueled by fracked-fuel.
— Jim West, Covid-19: Seeking the Environmental Trigger (2020)
West notes also that New York and New Jersey are also the sites of repeated earth spills "accumulated from centuries of unregulated industry." This contamination represents a constant menace to the health of the population, and is a likely contributor to epidemics:
Usually, epidemics in the US begin in, and are heaviest in, the New York City region, e.g., the 1916 polio, 1918 Spanish flu, The Great Polio Epidemic, West Nile virus, H1N1 flu, measles, and now, COVID-19. The cover story for each epidemic is a virus.
Chronic Air Pollution, New Dangers
West suggests chronic respiratory damage from air pollution in "Covid-19" epicenters was exacerbated by increases in pollutants associated with fracking, particularly increases in hydrogen cyanide—this, coupled with decisions to allow more of these pollutants into the atmosphere:
Postulate (pandemic trigger)
The pandemic trigger was a global decision to allow refineries to release higher levels of cyanide into the atmosphere and into the natural gas fuel stream. Cyanide is normally emitted from refinery converters ("crackers"), because converters generate cyanide from nitrogen compounds present in the oil. However, fracked oil can contain 20x higher levels of nitrogen compounds, and thus the necessity to dump cyanide into the atmosphere and fuel stream is pertinent to fracked oil [...] Unmarketable toxic waste accumulates and must be disposed.
—Covid-19: Seeking the Environmental Trigger by Jim West (2020)
(See the article for a more detailed explanation of fracking.)
He provides a table revealing correlation of production or import of fracked fuel with "Covid-19" epicenters:
Although death data is limited to the end of April/beginning of May of 2020, all the initial major peaks in deaths had occurred (or were occurring) by that time. Moreover, this does not affect the correspondence with pollution.
The high number of deaths shown for Wuhan (635.6 per 100,000 pop.) are based on West's assumption that deaths in Wuhan did not come to an abrupt end as China claims, citing a Fox News interview of Stephen Mosher, "a China expert." West believes, "[t]he pollution thesis would expect Wuhan COVID-19 deaths to be high and continuous." What West doesn't mention is that unlike many countries such as the United States which would adopt the policy of suspecting anything that coughs and has a fever as a "Covid case" and recording any "suspected death" as a "Covid death," China decided to narrow rather than broaden its definition of Covid-19 (see David Crowe, Flaws in Coronavirus Pandemic Theory, version 7.2, p. 6).
China’s claim of low numbers occurred after it kicked out Western journalists. Yet, Western journalists choose to believe or disbelieve China’s statistics, depending on the agenda the Western medicos are pushing. For example, they disbelieve China’s numbers, as they hype the hazards of the COVID-19 virus, or want to accuse China for starting the epidemic, and they believe China’s numbers, as they point to China’s “successful” lockdown policy.
— Jim West, Covid-19: Seeking the Environmental Trigger
Note (added Sep. 6, ‘23):
West’s assertion that the “pollution thesis would expect Wuhan COVID-19 deaths to be high and continuous” may be inaccurate. All-cause mortality (ACM) throughout the rest of the world shows spikes during specific weeks for specific geographic locations, the first wave of these beginning after WHO director Tedros declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020 (see ACM studies by Rancourt, et al.). The decline in excess deaths is generally as rapid as their rise. Thus another explanation should be sought. Is it possible that refineries emitted high amounts of pollution over relatively short time periods? Or could the rapid decline in excess deaths be due to the dry tinder effect (vulnerable people died off and those who remained were more resilient)? Or other variables (such as drug overdosing) entering into the picture? Or a combination of all of the above?
Similarities between "Covid-19", SARS, and the 1918 Flu
One of the major symptoms reported as being unique to Covid-19 is extreme hypoxia (deficiency of oxygen reaching the tissues of the body) manifesting in cyanosis—bluish or purplish discoloration, often seen in the lips or cheeks, due to deficient oxygenation of the blood.
Cyanide is one possible assailant that can lead to cyanosis, as cited at the beginning of this article:
Cyanide prevents the cells of the body from using oxygen. [CDC]
It's not the only one. It is quite possible that others of the many deadly poisons in fracked fuel could have similar effects, and some kinds of RF radiation including 5G has been said to make oxygen unavailable to the body, as well.
Nor is this the first time cyanosis has been seen in a respiratory pandemic. Somewhere I read that cyanosis was sometimes seen in SARS patients, though I can't recall where. But going back even farther, it was definitely part the 1918 Flu.
An article entitled The Influenza Pandemic of 1918 found on the Stanford University website relates some of the symptoms reported by physicians:
“Others told stories of people on their way to work suddenly developing the flu and dying within hours. One physician writes that patients with seemingly ordinary influenza would rapidly ‘develop the most viscous type of pneumonia that has ever been seen’ and later when cyanosis appeared in the patients, ‘it is simply a struggle for air until they suffocate’. Another physician recalls that the influenza patients ‘died struggling to clear their airways of a blood-tinged froth that sometimes gushed from their nose and mouth’."
That was some kind of flu!!!
Unlike "Covid-19", however, it didn't have much impact on the weak and elderly but principally on healthy young men, especially military men. Women and infants were also affected.
The title of an article published in The Epoch Times in February of 2023 by Dr. Sheri Tenpenny asks, The 1918 Spanish Flu: A Different Perspective: Was it chemical poisoning?
She describes some of the many chemicals developed and tested during WWI for chemical warfare. One of the most "successful" was mustard gas:
Mustard gas was toxic in concentrations that could not be detected by smell. The person felt no discomfort when exposed to the gas but hours later, would experience choking, severe burning, and mucosal blistering. Mustard gas penetrated all types of “protective” clothing and was remarkably persistent over time in the environment—soil, leaves, and grasses.
Soon, poisonous gasses were delivered as artillery payloads reaching far into enemy front lines:
With the use of heavy artillery, soldiers didn’t have to rely on the direction of the wind to deliver the payload correctly or rely on “direct hits” to be effective. For example, in May 1916, they began to use shells filled with diphosgene, a strong lung irritant. Later that year, shells were filled with a mix of 75 percent phosgene and 25 percent diphosgene. Phosgene was responsible for a large number of deaths by choking, inability to breathe, and heart failure.
By July 1917, both sides were using three different mixtures of phosgene, diphosgene, and diphenylchlorosine, a chlorine powder laced with arsenic dust. In field trials, arsenic powder proved highly effective because it penetrated all types of filters used in the rudimentary masks. But it was the “Yellow Cross” (mustard gas) that gave the Germans a distinct advantage in chemical warfare. When mustard gas was coupled with explosives, it spread over wide areas and remained airborne for an extended time.
The British, French, Russians and Americans were far behind the Germans in the use of protective equipment. They were largely unprepared for chemical warfare throughout most of the war. Then in 1918, the last year of intense warfare, the real "training" began for American troops:
It wasn’t until January 1918 that the U.S. military established gas training camps. By the summer of 1918, all recruits were required to go through “standardized chemical warfare training.”
The training consisted of a brief lecture followed by a one-hour gas mask drill, five days a week, under the supervision of British instructors. The training included putting the masks on and off while sitting in a chamber filled with chlorine gas. Next, the troops were moved into a chamber filled with a tear agent where they practiced masking and unmasking for five to 10 minutes. More than 2,000 men per day were put through this initiation. It is unknown how many troops were sickened and perhaps died from this “training” before deployment.
Advanced training included a minimum of three surprise gas attacks every day as “practice drills.” To test the alertness of sentries and correct the “carelessness of leaving their masks out of reach,” attacks were often launched at night while the troops were asleep. These drills were designed for troops to practice the difficulty of putting on a mask while under attack and to acquaint them with the challenges of firing a weapon while masked. During night marches, men were subjected to random gas attacks to “teach them how to overcome confusion.” Other drills included officers ordering men to walk through clouds of gas spraying from opened cylinders to “instill confidence in their training and equipment.”
Soldiers were transported between locations in tight, unhealthy conditions. During the day, three men were crammed into double seats on the trains, and in the sleeping cars, one man slept in the upper bunk and two in the lower. The cramped quarters experienced by the naval recruits were no better.
Gee, could these conditions of near-constant exposure to caustic gasses along with poor food and lack of sleep necessary to recover from the assaults have contributed to the excessive death toll of 1918?
Not mentioned by Tenpenny is the fact that the Rockefeller Drug Trust succeeded in getting the US military to force multiple toxic experimental drugs and vaccines on the young military men as well, as told by Morris A. Beale in The Drug Story (1976), p.133:
And what a war it was for the Drug Trust. Fifteen million of America's healthiest youth were drafted. 99-99/100% of them went willingly for they believed their homes and firesides were in danger from foreign invaders. At recruit camp they were forced to undergo injections of filthy animal pus which shortened their lives five to ten years. And from time to time other injections of filthy horse and cow pus [smallpox vaccines] were forced on them. The serum trust was becoming alarmingly rich from these 200,000,000 odd shots of serum sold and paid for by the American taxpayer.
If over 200 million vaccines were administered to only 15 million recruits, that would come to 13 or 14 shots per soldier. Besides unpurified animal pus, vaccines contained potent toxins such as mercury and formaldehyde that can severely exacerbate other conditions such as those brought on by harsh training or warfare.
Rancourt, et al. show the 1918 flu as the only declared pandemic prior to 2020 that shows up in all-cause mortality data by year for the United States. And it shows up in extreme degree. (See section 3.1 of study).
Though there was an excessively high death toll toward the end of the war in 1918 and early 1919 (the latter date conceivably representing die-off from injury and long-term illness resultant from assaults withstood while the war was still in full swing, as well as from residual effects of persistent chemicals like mustard gas), the beginning of extreme respiratory distress syndrome for soldiers was much earlier, as Tenpenny reveals:
Military documents found that soldiers were dying in France as early as 1916 from this illness. Many soldiers died shortly after they returned home from the battlefield.
Toward the end of the offensives, sweeping influenza-like illness was said to play a significant role in overall mortality; it even swung the outcome of some significant battles. The effect on military-age men was so great that the American draft was suspended in October 1918. When dead persons were evaluated and the cause of death was tallied, victims who died suddenly and had a bluish-purple discoloration to their lips or skin were said to have died from the Spanish Flu. [REF: “History of Epidemics and Plagues”]
Does this sound familiar? Those who died in the hospital over the last two to three years were said to have died from COVID, irrespective of the real cause of death, including medical malpractice, a ruptured appendix, or even a gunshot wound.
By the way, no "virus" was found or even looked for during the 1918 Flu. The concept of "virus" was very different in those days and constantly shifting with each passing decade, but more importantly the medical establishment at the time was convinced the flu was caused by a bacterium and performed experiments in Boston and San Francsco in attempt to show transmission by exposing healthy young male volunteers to army patients bedridden in hospitals with the flu, as well as attempting to infect the volunteers via phlegm or various bacterial cultures using every method they could come up with. All the experiments failed. None of the volunteers got the flu.
Several modern papers, including a study involving Anthony Fauci in the early 2000s, suggest the 1918 Flu was actually bacterial pneumonia. But again, finding a bacterium is no proof that it causes illness, as the authors of the Boston and San Francisco experiments demonstrated to their own bewilderment.
Morbidity and mortality in the "Covid Era": a web of crimes
[L]ike a foul-smelling zombie, pollution is creeping back in the United States, just as the federal government has rolled back more than a dozen clean-air policies, some of which were enacted in recent decades and others that date back to the hazy days of the 1970s.
The resurgence also comes amid a host of new and recent studies revealing that air pollution raises the risk of asthma, altered brain structure and behavioral problems in children, heart attacks and strokes in adults, and that it fuels anxiety and depression along the way. Ultimately, dirty air is thought to kill more than 100,000 people in the United States every year, according to a study last year in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and some 7 million around the globe.

“In all epidemics, the so-called epidemic disease is but one among several symptom complexes presented by the sick.”
—Herbert Shelton ND DC
COVID-19 and other morbidity/mortality is high at the epicenters. This all-cause increase is the actual pandemic and it includes children.
—Jim West, Covid-19: Seeking the Environmental Trigger (2020)
Moreso than with any past epidemic, 24/7 media alarm focused the attention of the entire world on a single threat (a novel coronavirus) and a single disease ("Covid-19"). Yet contrary to the conjured perception of epidemics of specific diseases caused by specific pathogens, the reality is quite different in any era. Particularly in the "Covid-era"—by virtue of multiple factors contributing to morbidity, broad diagnostic criteria, politically and financially-incentivized diagnostic bias and extremely corrupt handling—the picture is complex. Not only can pollution itself result in a wide array of syndromes ranging from measles to pneumonia to depression, heart attack or stroke, but other assaults including social and economic privation; medical/pharmaceutical "mistakes" or malpractice; and psychological effects of extreme media fearmongering, societal disruption, and forced masking and social distancing were added to the mix.
WHO and state-recommended intubation for "Covid" patients—in spite of early indications from China of the unnecessary harm caused by it—led to an 80% death rate among intubated patients worldwide—some suggest even higher. As brought to light in the article on Italy cited earlier:
Employing ventilators involves sedating the patient and placing a tube into the throat. Drugs such as midazolam, morphine sulfate and propofol are used in accompaniment with this procedure; drugs that come with contra-indications and warnings of side effects including respiratory depression and respiratory arrest. Midazolam and propofol are two drugs that are regularly used for assisted suicide and to put down death row inmates.
Midazolam in particular, an injectable anti-anxiety drug, played a prominent role in the UK where it was administered in lethal doses under the pretext of keeping care home interns from being over-anxious about the pandemic. The high number of deaths in care homes in spring of 2020 can be directly attributed to state-recommended drug overdosing of the elderly and the physically or mentally handicapped coupled with "do-not-resucitate" forms pushed by the establishment.
Similar policies in other countries led to increased deaths in nursing homes early on. Lockdowns led to unemployment, hunger and increased levels of depression and suicides, particularly among young males in cultures where they're expected to be independent and not fall back on family.
Post-vaccine rollout, various studies by Rancourt et al. show correlation of large waves of excess all cause mortality with vaccination campaigns in the United States, Australia, India and Israel—especially campaigns targeting poor and "at risk" populations. The horrific effects of the experimental "COVID" vaccines were not limited to those countries.
What West does that few others have attempted is identify a plausible environmental trigger that could have been what set things in motion. In this author's opinion, he's the only one who's given an adequate, plausible explanation for increased incidence of certain specific symptoms associated with "Covid-19," shedding light on symptoms myself and others I've interviewed personally (who didn’t visit hospitals or use prescribed medications) have experienced. My own experience included the onset of flu-like symptoms during a time when I was staying in a polluted city in Mexico, followed by severe depression for about a month and longterm objectionable changes in smell and taste.
(Note: again, no allegations of "viruses" are credible because particles alleged to be viruses are not studied in isolation (the only way to determine the character of otherwise undefined particles of unknown provenance), mechanisms of alleged pathogenicity are never adequately described, and simpler and more understandable explanations for symptoms associated with "Covid-19" exist. (See Occam's Razor.))
West also states that although 5G rollout has been suggested by some as the cause of a new respiratory pandemic, "This is unlikely because 5G protocol was not substantially present in all the epicenters, and the 60GHz frequency, the form of 5G that would purportedly cause COVID-19 symptoms, was not yet deployed. 5G is not a common denominator."
West does not deny the ability of electromagnetic radiation to exacerbate the situation, and later adds a section titled "EMF co-factor trigger for COVID" in which he describes how New York legislated invasive, ubiquitous installment of "smart" smoke detectors prior to the pandemic. He also tells of the following story of what appears to be the combined effect of pollution and EMF:
In another EMF instance, I interviewed a person with COVID-like respiratory disease where she was obviously suffering from high air pollution, as I too could feel its severity. I visited her apartment and found her sleeping quarter near Internet WiFi modem/router, with cables running near and many wall warts. Getting her to unplug all that brought instant relief from insomnia and clear progress towards diminishing COVID pneumonia symptoms.
With regard to deaths caused by drugs and ventilators, West remarks:
These deaths would not be an initial trigger for the pandemic, but rather an expansion and dramatization of the epidemic already prepared by chronic air pollution, then triggered by a severe increase in air pollution.
Part II : Motivations & Mechanisms
(Polio, Cancer, AIDS, Global Warming, WEF, UN)
Accident or mayhem by design?
"All science is merely a means to an end. The means is knowledge. The end is control. Beyond this remains only one issue: Who will be the beneficiary?"
—Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars
The allegations so far in this article are that governments and "health" institutions have been historically complicit in covering for industry pollution and that the former may have allowed a steep increase in contaminants like hydrogen cyanide produced in tandem with fracking to be released into the atmosphere via refineries and the burning of poorly-refined, highly-toxic fracked fuel. Moreover, that the same actors have pushed death-dealing pharmaceutical poisons on the public allegedly to protect us from "a deadly new virus." Was all this just accidental? Was it just the opportunistic profiteering that accompanies any widespread emergency? Or was there an overall plan?
Given, among other things, the pandemic planning exercise Event 201 two months prior to the first declared outbreak in Wuhan, the latter would seem to be the case. Event 201 was a sophisticated tabletop simulation of a large-scale novel coronavirus outbreak. The 18 October 2019 exercise was organized by the powerful World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and hosted by Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in New York City. Participating in the event were a handful of influential representatives of big business, banking, media (NBCUniversal), public relations (Edelman), intelligence (former CIA agent Arvil Haines), logistics (UPS, Lufthsana), and the international public health arena. In spite of the fact that the simulation posed a South American novel coronavirus outbreak rather than a Chinese oubreak, George Gao, head of the Chinese Center for Disease Control (CCDC), was the only "non-Westerner" in attendance. (Though Gao is Chinese, he spent 13 years in the West before returning to China in 2004 during which time he developed significant ties to Oxford, Harvard and the vaccine-pushing Wellcome Trust, the latter likewise having ties to Bill Gates and to the World Economic Forum.)
Since the 1990s, WEF's Young Global Leaders school has been training and coordinating those who would take top positions in governments and international business, including current national leaders Angela Merkel (Germany), Justin Trudeau (Canada), Jacinda Adern (New Zealand), Emmanuel Macron (France), Queen Rania (Jordan), and even Vladimir Putin; Big Tech's Bill Gates (Microsoft), Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Jimmy Wales (Google), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Marissa Meyer (Yahoo), and Sergei Brin (Wikipedia); as well as Alexander Soros;. The school can be said to be the modern analog of and likely complement to the Rhodes Scholarship program that since the early 20th century has sought to bring potential world leaders, particularly Americans, under the guidance of behind the scenes UK international political strategy as an extension and continuation of Cecil Rhodes' plan for Anglo-Saxon world domination.
“What we are very proud of, is that we penetrate the global cabinets of countries with our WEF Young Global Leaders. (YGL)”
— Klaus Schwab, founder and president of the World Economic Forum
All the Young Global Leaders graduates listed above turned overnight into zealous supporters of "Covid" measures including masks, lockdowns, vaccines, and censorship of dissenters—frequently with dictatorial fervor. And every one of them has achieved great increases in wealth and power through the catastrophes they've inflicted while pretending to be the saviors of the world.
The renewed and not-highly-publicized financial crisis threatening international banking in 2019 called for extreme measures: a coverup, a reset, and a way of transferring a vast amount of capital from public treasuries to the coffers of the elite. An international public health emergency provided the perfect distraction and excuse.
Could releasing large amounts of cyanide on the unsuspecting public have been part of the plan?
A long history of "emerging viruses" as cover for industrial poisoning
"I firmly believe that if the whole materia medica could be sunk to the bottom of the sea, it would be all the better for mankind and all the worse for the fishes."
— Oliver Wendell Holmes, M. D., Professor of Medicine at Harvard
To understand the broader picture and to put things in context, once more a brief review of history is called for.
In 1962, Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring was published, igniting the modern environmental movement. The book gave a critical analysis of how pesticides like DDT, along with other chemicals, were polluting rivers and streams and devastating wildlife. It was a wake-up call to the chemical-happy, post-WWII American populace who had absolute confidence in the ability of "science" (along with industry and the government) to provide them an ever-growing arsenal of miracle products with never a harmful consequence.
"[Silent Spring] called into question a major item of faith in the twentieth century, the authority of scientific experts. The public had trusted such experts to exert greater control over nature ... and make a happier, healthier, wealthier society. Carson showed how experts ... themselves were implicated in a vast complex of private and public interests designed to produce profits for chemical manufacturers and the growing agribusiness sector."
The book had a profound impact on society. The original focus of the burgeoning environmental movement it ignited was on curtailing pollution of the environment, and the movement was successful on many fronts. "Every one of the toxic chemicals named in the book was either banned or severely restricted in the United States by 1975."
In spite of this initial success in favor of the environment, the association of central nervous system poisons such as lead arsenate and, later, the organochlorine pesticides DDT and BHC with polio continued to be buried under mountains of scientific hubris about a "virus," even though as early as 1952 Ralph R. Scobey MD had prepared a Statement for the Select Committee to Investigate the Use of Chemicals in Food Products, US House of Representatives, published in the journal Pediatrics under the title, "The Poison Cause of Poliomyelitis And Obstructions To Its Investigation." It was not Scobey's first scientific article on the subject, but it is notable in that it was prepared for a House committee during a time when the public was being bullied into massive use of DDT, allegedly to battle the horrible "poliovirus." Scobey’s articles are jam-packed with references to older articles in the scientific medical literature: he was saying nothing new, only bringing to light what had been recognized about polio by honest physicians ever since the outbreaks of the late 1800s following the introduction of lead arsenate—knowledge that had been suppressed amidst the highly-funded, law-enacted hysteria about a virus.

http://williamengdahl.com/englishNEO12July2022.php
In the 1940s, inhabitants of third world countries, who hadn't yet begun poisoning themselves with first world pesticides, were declared to be "immune" to polio, to the great amazement of adherents of polio virus dogma. (Immune my foot!) Though by the 1960s pesticide producers would be forced to curtail, and especially to export to "developing countries," their most serious offending poisons in view of the environment, the government propaganda campaign about viral polio made sure the public never made the mental association of human paralytic polio with those very same pesticides that were the cause of paralysis in insects, farm animals and wildlife. Recategorizing of paralytic polio under various other 'diagnosis,' accompanied by declining domestic use of DDT in America and Europe, was sufficient to give the impression of the 'success' of polio vaccine. (See primary source documentation in Humphries, Disease, Vaccines and Forgotten History, chapter XII.) Now, third world countries rather than being "immune" would be declared to be the last holdouts of the vicious virus—and, of course, in “need” of patronizing support from “more advanced” countries in the form of vaccines.
The polio propaganda scandal had elicited a great deal of funding in the virus research field, but with the decline in polio alongside other prevalent epidemics of the first half of the 20th century, the great focus of virus research and research funding was turned toward cancer, in spite of the fact that no “viruses” could be found in tumors and that cancer had none of the appearances of a contagious disease, nor was it considered as such among the public or in the scientific community at large save among a few dogged researchers who insisted in coming up with every kind of excuse and fairytale to explain away all the clear contradictions to the idea of “contagious,” “viral” cancer—see Peter Duesberg, Inventing the AIDS Virus (1996), chapter IV. (I read Duesberg with a grain of salt because he makes a number of claims about the existence of viruses and “contagious” diseases such as polio, tuberculosis, etc. that are in line with mainstream belief but are fallacious.) Because these minority researchers claiming viruses could be the cause of various types of cancer eventually gained attention, and especially given that Rockefeller-funded allopathic medicine promotes speculation about viruses, the Special Virus Cancer Program was launched in 1964 in the United States as part of the National Cancer Institute (est. 1937) (which by this time was under the National Institutes of Health (NIH)). According to the article, Cancer and Cronyism at the NIH: Norton Zinder and the Special Virus Cancer Program, many scientists (the majority of those involved) resented the program’s narrow focus on a single (and hardly sustainable) hypothetical cause for cancer that restricted research to “viruses” rather than allowing them to follow their own research leads in a more scientific and less one-sided manner:
The SVCP did have some peculiarities, however. “From the start [it] relied heavily on the planning techniques used in space and military programs, and, for a biological undertaking, it has made similarly lavish use of resources.”3 The problem with all this was that by the early 1970s, the program had not produced the breakthroughs in treatment, or even the advances in basic knowledge, that its founders and funders had expected. More than this, the way the program was run and how its funds were awarded frustrated large numbers of scientists.
In spite of claims of new virus discoveries such as HPV, the program's overall failure eventually led to the reallocation of billions of dollars annually to HIV/AIDS research beginning in the mid-1980s. The illustrious Anthony Fauci, as the new head of NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), would be handed the keys to the national treasury (the tax dollars of the people) for his spurious virus research programs. Fauci likewise would pronounce the death sentence on hundreds of thousands of Americans with his approval of the deadly chemotherapy drug AZT for lifelong use by the "HIV-positive," including infants—ruining their lives, speeding their deaths. Socially and legally, “HIV-positive” persons would be treated as walking dead, virtual or potential criminals of contagion, the lepers of the modern world—despite the spurious nature of all supposed tests for HIV.
The CDC’s worldwide influence ensured that like crimes would be perpetrated against peoples of all nations: Africans, Caribbeans, Latin Americans, etc. It is thus that the stage was set during the AIDS era for our late “Covid-19” debacle, with Fauci again at the helm.

Global warming: the derailing of the true environmental movement
The virus disinformation campaigns of industrial elitists and their government minions provided cover for a multitude of sins. Still, the environmental movement of the 1960s and 70s had begun posing a formidable threat to the status quo. The cat was out of the bag: industrial chemicals weren't the fail-safe miracle products they were cracked up to be. (They are even widely seen as the most likely cause for all kinds of cancer, in spite of ongoing claims of “cancer viruses”). And though growing public realization of the dangers of industrially-produced chemicals was a nuisance to the industrialists, eventually a new opportunity was perceived.
Beginning as early as the late 1980s, elitists such as the Rothschilds and Rockefellers began funding a new program to hijack the true environmental movement for the purpose of furthering their long-term project of world control. Many of the most influential banks and bankers of the world decided that they could manipulate public concern about the environment for their own ends—and accumulate trillions of dollars in profits in the process. This goal would eventually be articulated by the Club of Rome, an influential think-tank for global, elitist policies:
"It would seem that men and women need a common motivation, namely a common adversary to organize and act together… States have striven to overcome domestic failure and internal contradictions by designating external enemies. The scapegoat practice is as old as mankind itself. When things become too difficult at home, divert attention by adventure abroad. Bring the divided nation together to face an outside enemy, either a real one or else one invented for the purpose. With the disappearance of the traditional enemy, the temptation is to designate as scapegoat religious or ethnic minorities whose differences are disturbing.
[...]The old democracies have functioned reasonably well over the last 200 years, but they appear now to be in a phase of complacent stagnation… Sacrilegious though this may sound, democracy is no longer well suited for the tasks ahead… The complexity and the technical nature of many of today’s problems do not always allow elected representatives to make competent decisions at the right time.
[…] In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. In their totality and interactions these phenomena do constitute a common threat which demands the solidarity of all peoples. But in designating them as the enemy, we fall into the trap about which we have already warned, namely, mistaking symptoms for causes. All these dangers are caused by human intervention… and thus the real enemy, then, is humanity itself…”

Note that “emerging viruses,” though not mentioned in the Club’s report, fit well with the “need” for a “new enemy to unite us,” and contribute greatly to the “totality and interactions” of phenomena that “constitute a common threat which demands the solidarity of all peoples,” i.e. a new world order superseding local democracies and run by technocrats put in place by banking mobsters posing as global philanthropists and environmentalists.

The agenda for the well-known UN '92 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was set by these same bankers. In an article published by Global Research, Mark Keenan, former scientist at the UK Government Dept. of Energy and Climate Change, and at the United Nations Environment Division, cites whistleblower George Hunt:
"[V]ia the Earth summit, the UN was setting a net, an agenda, to place the power over the Earth and its peoples into their own hands. The world private banking cartel are the same ultra-rich banking families that had been instrumental in the setting up of the World Bank, the UN, and other international institutions, after WW2."
Keenan elaborates:
As a consequence of the UN Earth Summit, the honest, genuine environment movement that actually cared about real pollution to land, air and water, was politically hi-jacked by powerful political and financial interests with a different agenda.
Maurice Strong, a UN official and an employee of the Rockefeller and Rothschild trusts, had convened the first UNCED congress in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1972. Then, 20 years later he was the convenor and secretary general of UNCED. Hunt also provided video evidence from the Fourth UNCED World Congress meeting in 1987 of an international investment banker, stating that:
“I suggest therefore that this be sold not through a democratic process that would take too long and require far too much funds to educate the cannon-fodder, unfortunately, which populates the Earth. We have to take almost an elitist program…”
Thus, the decrees leading to the 1992 UN Earth summit were dictated without debate or opportunity for dissent and would supersede national laws. The decrees were dictated into existence by the banker Edmund de Rothschild, who got these major decrees into the ’92 UN resolutions without debate or challenge. Hunt asserts that he was denied the opportunity to openly challenge Rothschild’s remarks by the meeting Chairman.
Is it any surprise that the Rothschild bank of Geneva is the nucleus of the World Conservation bank and the wealthy elite are integrated into the bank via the Rothschilds’ private offering of shares. The banks [sic] assumes control of world conservation and decides and controls how these resources are allocated or utilized.

"The same world order that tricked third world countries to borrow funds and rack up enormous debts… and purposely creating war and debt to bring societies into their control. The world order crowd are not a nice group of people…”
– George Hunt, Whistleblower speaking about the UN Earth summit of 1992 (as cited by Keenan)
A major part of the emphasis of the controlled media and of "progressive" politicians from that time forward would be on man-made global warming, with particular indictment of CO2, the only so-called "pollutant" that is necessary for all life on earth, that contributes to a greener planet… The only pollutant that isn't a pollutant at all! Elke Willman paints the picture clearly with regards to CO2 in his article, Why the Environmental Movement Has Been Hijacked:
CO2 constitutes 38/1000th of 1 percent of atmospheric gases. Ivar Giaever, Nobel Laureate in Physics, explains the following:
“Consider a very large room (20 square feet x 10 feet height). Imagine you wanted to create in this room the same CO2 emissions that all the cars in the world belch into the atmosphere during the whole year. How many matches would you need to burn daily, weekly or in total over the whole year to inflict on this room what all the world’s cars do to our atmosphere in a year?
THE ANSWER: One single match lit in the room is the equivalent to 20 years of car driving by all the cars in the world.'
This is why scientists like Dr. Don Easterbrook, Professor Emeritus of Geology at Western Washington University, asserts that with such minute amount in the total atmosphere, CO2 is incapable of acting as a greenhouse gas.
As a chemically sensitive person, I can attest that the phosphorous released from burning that single match is enough to make that whole room toxic (at least until it dissipates). But the minute amount of CO2 produced by it will not alter the greenhouse effect in that room.
CO2-induced global warming is a blatant sham based on faulty modeling designed to produce predetermined, exaggerated outcomes that induce fear—a psychological trick funded by the same global financial oligarchs that fund "virus research." (See my previous articles on climate change here and here.)
Perhaps by trumpeting the dangers of a non-pollutant, they can get people to forget how we are being poisoned every day in a million ways that forever line the pockets of the very rich.
The UN, a public relations arm of global financial predators
Many liberals tend to think of the UN as a benevolent organization seeking the peace and betterment of the world. Perhaps they have no idea of the origins of the UN in the wake of conference of international financial giants toward the end of WWI. Called the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference and held in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire over three weeks in July of 1944, it sought means of perpetuating US dollar dominance over the world economy on behalf of industrialists and powerful financiers. The UN itself would come into being the following year; its international headquarters in New York purchased with a 8 million dollar Rockefeller donation.
The paradigm of globalization emerged out of the Bretton Woods conference in 1944. The conference was attended by the world’s leading bankers, economists, politicians, and corporate figures. Out of these meetings, the institutions of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) were formed. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) came later and then the formation of the World Trade Organization (WTO). These instruments resulted in a power shift toward centralisation of power for corporations, bankers, and international bureaucracies. Globalization was sold as a solution for all problems, but, it has instead brought record disparities in income and wealth between rich and poor nations, destroyed local communities and local farming, and advanced the greatest environmental destruction in history.
—Mark Keenan, “Deconstructing Globalization, A Historical Perspective. Towards ‘The Privatization and Financialization of Everything’”
Did you notice Keenan’s mention of “international bureaucracies”? The UN, that serves and has always served banking corporations and financiers, has many subsidiaries, including the World Health Organization, UNCED, ICCC, etc. The emphasis of such institutions on the environment amounts to nothing more than green-washing of their backers’ historic and continued destruction of the environment in every way imaginable. These are the same financiers that have pushed petrochemical dependence, chemical agriculture, devitalized and adulterated processed foods, junk food, toxic drugs and vaccines and a modern consumerist lifestyle on all the nations of the world for a hundred years; that have financed destructive, polluting industries and resource extraction (mining, pulp mills, deforestation), military expansion and war; and that have pushed disposable plastics, GMOs, toxic cleaning products, neurotoxic synthetic perfumes and perfumed everything for as long as these environmental menaces have existed. The UN has now adopted such progressive euphemisms as "sustainable development"—terms that mean absolutely nothing as powerful financial institutions continue to develop the world into a colossal garbage dump of consumer goods and hazardous chemical waste products. The UN Agenda 21 (now Agenda 2030) has as its stated goals the "managing" of industrial pollution. By "managing" they obviously mean supporting industry in continuing to dump billions of tons of toxic waste into the air, water and land every year at the expense of all life on earth while painting themselves with a facade of environmental heroism. "Sustainable" simply means they'll continue doing it as long as they can.
(I wrote the line above as the last sentence in my article before I had read the following in Keenan’s concluding section of his article on globalization under the heading, “Sustainable development – a problem wrapped up as a solution,” which I will quote in closing.)
The underlying causes of the real problem of environmental degradation (which is not a climate crisis problem) are not addressed by the ‘political’ solution of sustainable development and over the past 30 years have not been highlighted in the institutional halls of power where globalization/hypergrowth and the ‘status quo’ of the debt-money system were never to be questioned. Thus, sustainable development in its political definition was never anything else but a ‘greenwash’ – a new term that simply endorsed in its political definition the ‘business as usual’ strategy of globalization. Over the past 30 years the UN-promoted policy of decoupling environmental impacts from GDP growth/globalization has been a complete failure, as is detailed in the above book Transcending the Climate Change Deception, this policy was never going to work. Professor Stanley Temple of the University of Wisconsin-Madison has stated that the overuse of the word ‘sustainable’ has come to mean too much and nothing at the same time, and that sustainable development, as a concept, is too loosely defined to have any particular usefulness.
To understand what real sustainability involves (rather than the deceptive process of politically-defined UN sustainable development) we need to understand how the economic system of globalization itself is fundamentally flawed, in particular the processes of usury and debt-money banking that underpin its operations.
UN Agenda 2030 and the aligned 2020 WEF Reset are cleverly-written marketing tools for the plans of the mega-corporate Davos group [i.e. powerful world players who meet each year in Davos, Switzerland; also known as the World Economic Forum (WEF)], and involve new forms of technocratic control. However, real sustainability is not a product of the plans of privately-owned mega-banks or of power-hungry corporates. Real sustainability must prioritize local resilience, and is a product of living in the mode of goodness, cognizant that everything comes from God, the Creator.

Tobin, what a well-researched essay. I’ve been looking forward to reading more of your work since your last piece (Is Virology Science?).
I’m still reading through it (just at Part II now), but I was wondering: you focus primarily on industry-caused pollution in this piece. I imagine this also includes things like glyphosate spraying which is sadly a now common practice? This is a big concern of mine as well.
Also, would you be at all open to writing a piece for laypeople about the evidence (or lack thereof) of viruses, and how it fits into germ vs. terrain theory? You touched on these things a bit here, but it would be nice for us not-so-smart people to have something that is easily digestible to understand. I know it’s a big topic!
Excellent work. Looking forward to reading more.
