The plague and Joseph Farrell

        Last Tuesday, a case of bubonic plague was confirmed in the city of Bayannur, Inner Mongolia. This follows two cases in Outer Mongolia a year ago and another suspected case in the same area five days ago. Both the recent cases are thought to have resulted from eating marmots. Heavens, marmots!! First it's birds, then snakes, then bats, then pigs, now cute little furry critters -- whatever next?


Gasbag
        Joseph Farrell is another gasbag like Steve Quayle and Richard Hoagland, beloved of talk show hosts because you just have to press their button and away they go, needing almost no questions to prompt them. Talk shows inevitably introduce Farrell as  having a doctorate from Oxford University — which is true, but the doctorate is in patristics (a branch of Christian theology) and lends no particular authority to theories about the Nazi Bell, interplanetary warfare, psyops and the "secret space program"—all of which topics Farrell has published on, and pontificated about ad nauseam.

        Two days ago, Farrell vlogged about the bubonic plague on his web site, The Giza Death Star. He speculated that the coronavirus pandemic is just a rehearsal for the real whammy, a worldwide bubonic plague pandemic that will kill millions. People who pay attention to Farrell (and that only occasionally includes me) are quite used to his alarmism. A contributor to the Paracast Forum wrote just the other day:
« . He's saying the [corona]virus was released as part of a deep state operation to bring down Donald Trump. He's saying that Dr. Fauci very likely engineered the virus himself, in Wuhan China, and he was responsible for its release. He's saying nano-tech particles have been found in the genetic makeup of the virus, but that this scientific information has been suppressed by the media. He's saying Bill Gates stepped down from Microsoft in 2014 in order to oversee the global spread of the virus. But, at the same time, he's also saying Covid-19 isn't nearly as dangerous as the media is making it out to be, so he refuses to wear a mask when he goes out. »
        By all means pay attention to Dr. Farrell, but only if the topic is Christian theology. On the subject of pandemics, he has no useful information to impart.

That is just a whole bag of crazy. I think the only thing missing is "it's spread/caused by 5G". If he'd have included that that I think he'd have made it into the big bonus round, where conspiracists get to fight it out in a pool of mud to win a mid range sedan.

What do you think activates the bank particles. Duh.

Ah, the great Joseph P. Farrell, famous author of

"The Cosmic War: Interplanetary Warfare, Modern Physics, and Ancient Texts"

As I recall, that book includes a photo, I think allegedly of Europa, which shows great swirling cuts across one face of the moon, as if some great spinning disk had collided with the planet and done massive "wheelies" on it.

I couldn't find any clues as to where the photo came from, but I presume it was simply hoaxed. Anyone else familiar with the photo I refer to? I'd love to know it's "source"...

What does activate the virus into outbreaks though?

Covid-19 may not have originated in China, Oxford University expert believes (The Telegraph, July 5 2020)

"We may be seeing a dormant virus that has been activated by environmental conditions" -- Dr Tom Jefferson, senior associate tutor at the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (CEBM), at Oxford and a visiting professor at Newcastle University,

2%: Europa really does have slash marks.

" 2%: Europa really does have slash marks."

Thanks expat. Not sure if I'd really call those 'slash marks'. I've looked before and didn't find JPF's markings. Maybe they are on the dark side of the moon...

The marks depicted in the (blurry, black-and-white, from memory) 'image' in question are nothing like those. Much bigger, much deeper, more regular. Better, faster, stronger, tastier, whatever... As if cut by a large, spinning disc, impinging on the surface, and acquiring a degree of grip in the process, thereby 'wheeling about' as it crossed the surface.

Imagine the shadow of a single, open (loosely coiled) helix, illuminated from about a 45 degree angle. Quite like the old-days electrical symbol for an inductor, transformer winding or the like.

As if the image manipulator has seen the circular markings and imposed a fresh, greatly enhanced marking over the original image, to suggest a completely different mechanism at play.

I'll endeavour to track down a copy (of the book) and see if I can find the picture.

I'm not a great fan of the theory expounded by Dr Tom Jefferson - at least not for SARS-COV-2 - but there is a simple explanation, in my view.

Viruses are not living, so under the right conditions, they can remain preserved for eons. In Polar Ice Packs, for example. Right now, we are seeing massive loss of polar ice, so any viruses that have been lurking there since Adam was a boy could now be free to find a suitable host... As it seems to say in the Bible, all that is has been before. There also seems to be plenty of evidence of previously disappeared civilisations, and maybe another is about to be consigned to the past.

Please forgive my 3rd contribution here ... much to comment on for such a brief item.

Bubonic Plague aside, I don't think there is anything alarmist about suggesting that SARS-COV-2 will account for millions of human deaths.

At the moment, there are a mere 12.7 million people officially infected, though the true number may be double or even 10 times this figure. However, even at 10 times (127 million), that is only 0.2% of the global population, and already over 500,000 deaths are officially recorded.

That may also be over (or under) the true number, but let's take the numbers at face value.

Assuming the same death rate (though it is likely to become very much higher as it overwhelms hospitals around the world), if only 50% of the global population is infected before the virus dies out, based on 500,000 deaths /12.7M infections (I know, not really the correct method) we are looking at ~140 million deaths. It could end up being 500 million, as hospital care becomes unavailable.

The following article may be alarmist - or not.

"...pontificated about ad nauseam"

Really ?!? Obviously you are not a fan of the guy. But nobody has to love the piano player for having a weird nose.
It is the essence of the music that counts.

So here's the question...Have you read all his referenced and annotated work in order to justify pontificated about ad nauseam?

Sounds to me you are more and more in the business of bashing etc. Just remember you mouthed off about David Icke being all kind of things, including his claim being Jesus according to you. In doing so you missed the curious fact in "reading his work" and all his public statements that he stated Jesus never existed.

So on your "pontificated about ad nauseam" in this case...Wauw!!

Greetings
Adrian

Thanks for the comment.

« So here's the question...Have you read all his referenced and annotated work in order to justify pontificated about ad nauseam? ²

Actually, I haven't read one single word Farrell has written. But he's such a standard chat-show guest (given false authority) that I think my comment is justified.

OK, he said he is the son of God. That was on Terry Wogan's TV show in 1991. So technically I was wrong, but boy! What a nit-pick!

I agree. We (that is, humanity) are losing this battle. I'm contemplating writing a very pessimistic blog-post invoking the serious possibility that Human civilization could be wiped out. The only survivors would be people who are out of contact. Small populations in the extreme North and South -- primitive Amazon tribes. What unholy chaos they'd find if they ever ventured into what was "our" part of the globe.

Expat, you’ll love this, from promo material for his book “The grid of the gods.”

Physicist and Oxford-educated historian Farrell continues his best-selling book series on ancient planetary warfare, technology and the energy grid that surrounds the earth.
