Coronavirus in Perspective: Spanish Flu (1918) Killed 60 Million
January 26, 2020
A pandemic is an efficient way to get rid of "useless eaters" without destroying property.
The influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 infected 500 million people, 20% of the world's population and killed over 60 million people. This is roughly three times as many people as were killed and maimed in World War One, and is comparable to WWII losses. Yet this modern plague has slipped down the memory hole. Why? Was it a deliberate ploy by the Illuminati to finish the job WWI began?
China's coronavirus is spreading around the globe and investor concern with it. U.S. health authorities are monitoring more than 60 people for potential infection, including patients in New York and Illinois, and France confirmed its first two cases.
At least 903 people in China have been sickened, including 26 fatalities, the Global Times reported. 45 million Chinese are under quarantine.

Was Spanish Flu (1918) Deliberate Genocide?
(From Dec 14, 2006)
By Henry Makow Ph.D.
In 1948, Heinrich Mueller, the former head of the Gestapo, told his CIA Interrogator that the influenza pandemic of 1918-19, the most devastating plague in human history, was man-made.
Mueller said the flu started as an US army bacteriological warfare experiment that somehow infected US army ranks at Camp Riley KS in March 1918, and spread around the world. He says that it "got out of control" but we cannot discount the horrible possibility that the "Spanish Flu" was a deliberate elite depopulation measure. Researchers have found connections between it and the "Bird Flu."
It was called the Spanish Flu because the first human case was identified there. Understandably there was panic worldwide, as influenza was not discovered until 1933, so the mystery was rather frightening.
According to Wikipedia: "In the U.S., about 28% of the population suffered, and 500,000 to 675,000 died. In Britain 200,000 died; in France more than 400,000. Entire villages perished in Alaska and southern Africa. In Australia, an estimated 10,000 people died and in the Fiji Islands, 14% of the population died during only two weeks, and in Western Samoa 22%. An estimated 17 million died in India, about 5% of India's population. In the Indian Army, almost 22% of troops who caught the disease died of it."
"Indeed, symptoms in 1918 were so unusual that initially influenza was misdiagnosed as dengue, cholera, or typhoid. One observer wrote, "One of the most striking of the complications was hemorrhage from mucous membranes, especially from the nose, stomach, and intestine. Bleeding from the ears and petechial hemorrhages in the skin also occurred. ...Another unusual feature of this pandemic was that it mostly killed young adults, with 99% of pandemic influenza deaths occurring in people under 65 and more-than-half in young adults 20 to 40 years old. This is unusual since influenza is normally most deadly to the very young (under age 2) and the very old (over age 70). "
MUELLER'S SOURCE
At a 1944 Nazi bacteriological warfare conference in Berlin, General Walter Schreiber, Chief of the Medical Corps of the German Army told Mueller that he had spent two months in the US in 1927 conferring with his counterparts. They told him that the "so-called double blow virus" (i.e. Spanish Flu) was developed and used during the 1914 war.
"But," according to Mueller, left, "it got out of control and instead of killing the Germans who had surrendered by then, it turned back on you, and nearly everybody else." ("Gestapo Chief: The 1948 CIA Interrogation of Heinrich Mueller" Vol. 2 by Gregory Douglas, p. 106)
James Kronthal, the CIA Bern Station Chief asked Mueller to explain "double blow virus."
Mueller: "I am not a doctor, you understand, but the 'double-blow' referred to a virus, or actually a pair of them that worked like a prize fighter. The first blow attacked the immune system and made the victim susceptible, fatally so, to the second blow which was a form of pneumonia...[Schreiber told me] a British scientist actually developed it...Now you see why such things are insanity. These things can alter themselves and what starts out as a limited thing can change into something really terrible."
The subject of the Spanish Flu arose in the context of a discussion of typhus. The Nazis deliberately introduced typhus into Russian POW camps and, along with starvation, killed about three million men. The typhus spread to Auschwitz and other concentration camps with Russian and Polish POWS.
In the context of the Cold War, Mueller says: "If Stalin invades Europe...a little disease here and there would wipe out Stalin's hoards and leave everything intact. Besides, a small bottle of germs is so much cheaper than an atom bomb, isn't it? Why you could hold more soldiers in your hand than Stalin could possibly command and you don't have to feed them, clothes them or supply them with munitions. On the other hand, the threat of war...does wonders... for the economy." (108)
Is Mueller credible? In my opinion he is. Gregory Douglas apparently is a pseudonym for his nephew with whom he left his papers. Normally a hoax would not run to thousands of pages. The Interrogation is 800 pages. The Memoirs are 250 pages. The microfilmed Archive apparently covers 850,000 pages. Finally, the material I have read is incredibly well informed, consistent and full of plausible revelations .

CONCLUSION
The Illuminati have made no secret of its desire to decrease the world population. (See Alan Stang, Population Extermination: How Will it be Done? )
It's possible that World War One was a disappointment in terms of the numbers killed. Whether the "Spanish Flu" was deliberate or not, we cannot say. But apparently the US Army has a record of experimenting with drugs/chemicals/bacteria on unwary soldiers. Did such an experiment get "out of control" at Fort Riley? Or was that its purpose in the first place?

First Comment from George: "The vaccines used to address virus are the real threat."
Biological weapons are limited to a very important factor: they must have very low secondary communicability. The so-called Spanish flu, which may very well have been a biological warfare weapon, failed that basic requirement. New candidates for ideal bio-warfare weapons include anthrax, hantavirus, ebola, and others.
My personal opinion, for what it is worth, is that the real weapon will not be the disease, but mandatory vaccinations. Those vaccinations will not be blind, but color-coded on a social credit score akin to that of China. Red code will be for immediate termination. Green would be for friends of the system. Yellow would be for problem people who are drains on the system due to alcoholism, drug addiction, chronic criminality, and even old age and excessive drains on the pension system.
Vaccinations designed to kill fairly quickly but not immediately, including Alzheimer-inducing special mixtures, could do the trick without excessive uproar. Blue coding would be for people who can fix your car, build houses, do electrical work, etc., and whose thoughts do not extend beyond sports and porn. Naturally they would be allowed to live unless they turned yellow, or, very unlikely, red. The cull cannot be indiscriminate. It will be pinpoint in its precision... or should I say needlepoint?
Incidentally, there were a suspicious number of deaths of microbiologists in 2001, suggesting that there may have been some plan to use biological warfare as part of the 9/11 coup, and an attempt to silence possible troublemakers in advance. Anthrax did indeed play a role initially, but faded out of the picture.

Sir, I love/hate your site. There is so much to to be learned from it and yhat I enjoy. I send others to visit it. I just wish the news wasn't so dark, but that's life. I do not visit as much as I want to but when I am here I go from link to link and forget where I started from.

Arn,
Good to hear from you. Remember knowledge is power. Even if you feel powerless to change external things, you can steer your own course in a new direction.

I don't doubt it for a minute... Actually, I think most of our disease are man-made these days. I have worked as a medical transcriptionist for the last seven years, and I can tell you for an absolute fact that the pharmaceutical companies create most of the diseases... take one for one thing, and bam, you have three more problems pop up. I kept noticing a trend; either a patient is healthy and on no meds or is sickly and on a long list. Oncology (cancer medicine) was the WORST, and I was relieved to wash the blood off of my hands from that account after only one year. Talk about hell on earth!
All of this probably won't do any good for your article, but on a more personal level -- just because the bird flu & disease topic came up -- wanted to pass onto you some info about Olive Leaf Extract. My husband & I have been taking it for maybe 6-8 months now and I have to say that we have not been sick, not even a cold or flu, since we started taking it. I didn't really look into it that much, just took a friend's advice and started taking it, but really the results have been quite amazing. IF those ever-elusive "powers that be" are up to something, why not prepare early? A little "preventive medicine?"
BIRD FLU IS FOR THE BIRDS said (December 5, 2006):
Hello, This was not a FLU, it was made man by the doctors who were bored. Only people who got the vaccines got sick, they had to make up
a name for it so they named it the Spanish Flu. Eleanor McBean was a young girl at the time, I suggest that you put her name in your search
and she wrote a few books about it. The scientists are PAID by the GOV to lie and say it was the bird flu, The Bird flu is a hoax and it can not be transmitted to people, it is in the bird population like chickens.
THE WHO the world health organization is so phony and work with the gov to say all this lies that it can spread. I suggest that
you go to http://www.nomorefakenews.com click on and scroll down to searchable archives, and look for this 2005-10-10 It will Jon
tells about the fake bird flu and then go to 2005-10-13 This tells you more how the chicken are raised in dirty conditions, and are
subjected to vaccine all the time, this weakens their IMMUNE SYSTEM.... they eventually die from all the vaccines they get. No one
person has ever died from bird blu, because it is only in the chicken family. NOT one document is out there, sure they are going to lie that
someone has these people were sick prior with upper respiratory or some other illness. But to make it sound that it can transfer to people
THEY LIE that these people died from bird flu... this is all about propaganda. I suggest that you all read this one written by a doctor
who is not afraid to tell the truth and for goodness sake sent this message to others. THE GOV will lie about anything to make money from
that bloody toxic chemical poisoned TAMIFLU who knows what aids virsu is packed in there and vaccines are loaded with toxic chemicals that
eroded the myelin shealth causes brain injuries, seizures, destroys the central nervous system. ANd they said if you get sick from the TAMIFLU
SHOT too bad they cant help you, HINT HINT it tells you already how toxic they are, don t be a stupid fool, THEY LIE the gov LIES all
the time and yes, they think we are all so stupid. THIS IS ALL ABOUT
CRAP AND PROPOGRANDA LIES and LIES
believe their bloody lies???
http://www.goodnewsaboutgod.com/studies/birdflu.htm this is very long and it shows you how phony the bird flu is going to people, WAKE UP
AMERICA THIS BIRD FLU IS JUST FOR THE BIRDS

I thought I would add a bit to your article on the Spanish Flu of 1918.
In Pasteur Plagiarist Impostor! � The Germ Theory Exploded!, R.B. Pearson states on page 85; [Quoting]
�In the pamphlets �Germ Mutation� and �Immunity, Artificial vs. Natural� I give some important evidence indicating that the 1918 influenza epidemic was caused by mutation in vaccines used to �prevent� typhoid in the armies in Europe.
�When they inoculated against typhoid, they soon found that they had a PARA-typhoid on their hands, and the percentage of paratyphoid in those inoculated WAS IDENTICAL TO THE SECOND DECIMAL PLACE, with the percentage of TYPHOID in those NOT inoculated.(60)
�And when they gave two �shots,� one for each of these, they discovered a second paratyphoid, so to be scientific, they called them �A� and �B�.
�And, as �scientists� must always be �scientific,� they then gave the boys three �shots�, one for each of the above diseases, whereupon they found a fourth �disease��INFLUENZA�and the world�s highest recorded death rate in that! The Surgeon General of the A.E.F. said of this �Influenza�:
�The ordinary clinical picture of typhoid paratyphoid is very frequently profoundly modified in vaccinated individuals� . . . �intestinal types of supposed influenza should always be considered as possible typhoid until proven otherwise.� . . . �vaccination is a partial protection only and must be reinforced by sanitary measures.�(61)" [End Quoting]
Thank you for all your work Mr.Makow.
Jean from Hungary said (December 5, 2006):
Once again you pointed out something real big. We know that the NWO "elites" are openly supporting a massive depopulation agenda and, thus, something is certainly being cooked on that purpose. Everybody fears that it could be the "bird flu" and is surprised that it did not "work" until today. Personally, I`m afraid the next "Spanish flu" virus is ready to be unleashed but wasn`t yet.
Could it be that the "bird flu" is only a preparatory phase in that it is going to justify massive vaccinations which would protect or, on the contrary, sensibilise selected populations to a still secret and unleashed WMD virus? Such a selective targeting could be necessary considering that the physically deficient urbanised western populations` immune system is certainly weaker than that of the Arab or Asian populations whom the global "elites" want probably to get rid of in particular.
This didn`t appear in the international medias but, a few months ago, the current Hungarian government was bragging about funding a miracle vaccine against the "bird flu ". Some of the ministers of this government have even "tested" it in front of the TV cameras (?!).
Strangely, this miracle vaccine never appeared on the international market and went unnoticed by the World Health Organisation. Even stranger is that, when some journalists asked the government about the destiny of this miracle vaccine likely to save mankind from a "bird flu" plague, they were answered that it was not the business of the government to bring it to the populations and that of an obscure private company was charged to sell it at the best price and... that an Iraqi billionaire bought it already for use in the Middle East. Sure, I`m a conspiracy nut...
PS ...And do not forget the depleted uranium everlasting dust clouds offered to the Middle East in the "anti-terrorist" Gulf war packages. Many million Arab and Iranian people will probably die of it in the coming years. Many Israeli people too, of course, since the zionist wall cannot filtrate the DU dust... Are the Israelis a sacrificial lamb to the NWO? I mean those many who are too poor to ever leave the region.
Jennifer said (December 4, 2006):
Look up the herb "Boneset", it was used by locals to survive the Spanish Flu. I tell people to go buy Boneset, St.John'sWort and Goldenseal at a reliable health food store,which will protect them from the man-made bird flu shortly coming to devastate most of mankinds' indigenoius/poor people world-wide. I'm Shawnee, many of us know what's to come.
According to CBS, an unidentified 'senior doctor' with a "leading medical organization" in Liberia said that:
PREDICTIVE PROGRAMMING
Yes, there's a PlayStation3 video game called "THE LAST OF US", about survival under martial law in "post-pandemic" America. [2]
On Aug 1st 2014, Obama enhanced Bush's 2003-2005 Executive Order 13295, titled Revised List of Quarantinable Communicable Diseases. Where Bush had specified only SARS and Avian (bird) Flu, Obama added the words, " severe acute respiratory syndromes, which are diseases that are associated with fever and signs and symptoms of pneumonia or other respiratory illness, are capable of being transmitted from person to person". That can potentially mean anything that WHO and/or CDC say is a threat. WHO appoints the head of the CDC?
David S, MD said (December 14, 2006):
Your article claiming Spanish Flu was manmade seems implausible to me for the following reasons:
The very existance of viruses as separate entities from bacteria wasn't proven until 1898.
The first human virus wasn't identified until 1901.
Viruses could not be seen until the 1940s.
The physical structure of DNA was not understood until the 1960s.
Creation of a new viral strain about 15 years after the discovery of viruses as an entity, and many years before each of the subsequent critical events identified above, isn't impossible. But it would be implausible in the extreme, IMHO.
