How Doctors Create Customers

If you ever wondered why the learning of history is discouraged, or why Castalia History is so important, this anecdote from Chroniques de Genève by François Bonivard, finished in 1570 but not published until 1831, should suffice to explain it.

When the #bubonic #plague struck #Geneva in 1530, everything was ready. They even opened a whole #hospital for the plague victims. With #doctors, #paramedics and #nurses. The traders contributed, the magistrate gave grants every month. The patients always gave money, and if one of them died alone, all the goods went to the hospital.

But then a #disaster happened: the plague was dying out, while the #subsidies depended on the number of patients. There was no question of right and wrong for the Geneva hospital staff in 1530. If the plague produces money, then the plague is good. And then the doctors got organized.

At first, they just #poisoned #patients to raise the #mortality #statistics, but they quickly realized that the statistics didn’t have to be just about mortality, but about mortality from plague. So they began to cut the #boils from the bodies of the dead, dry them, grind them in a mortar and give them to other patients as #medicine. Then they started #dusting clothes, handkerchiefs and garters. But somehow the plague continued to abate. Apparently, the dried #buboes didn’t work well. #Doctors went into town and #spread bubonic powder on door handles at night, selecting those homes where they could then profit. As an eyewitness wrote on these events, “this remained hidden for some time, but the devil is more concerned with increasing the number of sins than with hiding them.”

In short, one of the doctors became so impudent and lazy that he decided not to wander the city at night, but simply threw a bundle of dust into the crowd during the day. The stench rose to the sky and one of the girls, who by a lucky chance had recently come out of that hospital, recognized what that smell was.

The doctor was tied up and placed in the good hands of competent “craftsmen.” They tried to get as much information from him as possible. However, the #execution lasted several days. The #ingenious #hypocrites were tied to poles on wagons and carried around the city. At each intersection the executioners used red-hot tongs to tear off pieces of meat. They were then taken to the public square, #beheaded and #quartered, and the pieces were taken to all the districts of Geneva.

The only exception was the hospital director’s son, who did not take part in the trial but blurted out that he knew how to make potions and how to prepare the powder without fear of contamination. He was simply beheaded “to prevent the spread of evil”.

Apparently the Geneva doctors didn’t initially understand that excess mortality statistics would give them away either.

It is said that #Bonivard’s work is not well-regarded by historians. I have no doubt that is the case. But that does not mean that it does not provide a faithful and true account of the events it relates. What historians believe to be credible is often a very false and unreliable metric. The abhorrent behavior of the sixteenth-century Geneva doctors is much easier to believe in the immediate aftermath of the #Covid #pandemic and the #mass #vaxxassinations of their twenty-first-century counterparts.

And it’s interesting to see how the hospital bureaucrats were in on the murderous Geneva scheme too.

Record floods ravage #Slovenia, PM calls it ‘worst’ #disaster in its history

Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/8/6/record-floods-ravage-slovenia-pm-calls-it-worst-disaster-in-its-history

The floods were caused by torrential rains on Friday, which caused rivers to swell swiftly and burst into houses, fields and towns. Slovenia’s #weather service said a month’s equivalent of #rain fell in less than a day.

How democracies die, fast and slow

Source: https://www.eurozine.com/how-democracies-die-fast-and-slow/

But democide that happens adagissimo is the outcome democrats should fear most. No doubt, democracy perishes when citizens are forced to suffer the hubris of army generals, back-stabbing political operators, populist demagogues and wealthy, power-loving poligarch capitalists. Democracies also play dice with their own disappearance when citizens and their representatives thoughtlessly, blindly ignore not only the anti-democratic effects of extreme weather events, species extinctions, pestilences and other environmental emergencies.

#Wasteland#Europe’s #plastic #disaster

Source: https://www.investigate-europe.eu/en/2023/wasteland-plastic-recycling/

Back in 2015, the EU presented an action plan for a circular #economy and vowed to “close the loop”. In the #future, raw materials like plastic should circulate endlessly. From production to the #supermarket, to the dining table, to the rubbish bin and back to the recycling plant. New plastic would seamlessly emerge from old. In a closed, circular system, raw materials would be reused again and again, and looming #climate and environmental #crises would be averted.

But as new #research by Investigate Europe documents, the #EU is still far from achieving this seven years after presenting its #recycling plan.

A flock of chickens, held for #ransom — Growing #cyberattacks on #Canada's #food system threaten #disaster

Source: https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/safety-net-flock-chickens-held-110035438.html

Farms are now complex technical operations that use networks of remote monitors that measure soil moisture, or robotic milkers that can detect an infection in a single teat, or environmental control systems that maintain the precise indoor temperature and air filtration needs of a poultry barn. All that, theoretically, could be commandeered and held for ransom in a #cyberattack. For example, a hacker could gain control of a thermostat and threaten to turn up the heat and kill an entire flock of chickens.

from #JimStone:
#SHOCKING: #Environmental #disaster #intentionally #caused #by #federal #government - a derailed #train carrying many carloads of #Polyvinylchloride was detonated on purpose in Palestine Ohio

That's the last thing you'd ever want to do, that substance, when not cured (as was the case) is probably the worst carcinogen known to man. I think "they" wanted to cause a huge disaster so they derailed the train on purpose, and then for no conceivable reason put explosives on the tanks and blew them up on puropse.
A side comment here - something that is getting censored but I have known about since the 80's - un cured polyvinylchloride is BAAAD, I found out about that after someone I knew had to walk into a cleanup scene and died of cancer within 2 months. You cannot expose yourself to un-cured liquid PVC fumes NO MATTER WHAT. Cured it is fine, un-cured it's one of the worst things there is.
I REPEAT: THEY DERAILED A TRAIN CARRYING PERHAPS THE WORST CHEMICAL CARGO POSSIBLE AND THEN DETONATED EVERY SINGLE CAR CARRYING THAT SUBSTANCE ON PURPOSE, right in the middle of the most prime farm land in the country. That's a clear and obvious act of war waged on the United states by the government.

CLEARLY, obviously, the worst enemy of the United States is it's own government, stolen elections have consequences, and this is proof. This "weather system" is in fact the worst toxic waste known to man, put into the sky by the government of the United States. The environmental destruction will be incalculable. And this is not even being picked up by the MSM.
GET THIS!! The reason given for blowing the train cars up was because they were afraid they might explode!!!! RIDICULOUS!!!

FISH DEAD IN NEARBY RIVERS DUE TO THE INTENTIONALLY SET FIRES

The media is already playing cleanup, saying the train crashed and burned. That is not the case, there was no fire until they blew the cars up. Then the smoke traveled and started killing things.

Update:

283 square miles contaminated so badly that animals both domestic and wild are dying

The media silenced the Palestine Ohio train derailment - for whatever reason I can't even guess. But the fact remains that it is one of the greatest environmental catastrophes in American history

My thoughts are that the same authorities who did nothing to stop pfizer from ruining countless millions is actually seeking to cause damage in the population so no precautions at all are being taken with the vinyl chloride release perpetrated by the federal government, they are just sending people back home.

This is a small capture, but the bottom line is that if chickens are dying 10 miles away in one direction, and other wildlife is dying 10 miles away in the opposite direction,over 280 square miles are toast. Near the site of the derailment, safe limits were exceeded by 8,000X. That's not percent, it is X, 100 times more than a percent rating.

#Chemical #warfare is OK in #Ukraine against Russians forces but must not be talked about when it's against US citizens by US authorities... adding to their favorite agenda textbook under the verse "Pestilence"...

Downtown #Pittsburgh, #Pennsylvania is less than 40 air miles downwind of this disaster. Assuredly NO ONE living there, or even within the city's suburbs, will be advised to evacuate or to take ANY precaution. And as already said, there are many farms in the area including the one collective of farms that provides much #organic #food.

I have great empathy for the people who have already lost and will lose so much over this -- their homes, their livelihoods, their communities, their animals, their own #health.

I take my pet each week to an excellent veterinarian whose practice is within 25 miles from East Palestine, downwind. When driving to the vet's practice, I always thought of the risk of living close to the nuclear power plant that I pass along the way. Fallout. I didn't think for a moment of this scenario. Who would?

Ironic how there's so much focus on continuity of government, continuity of business, etc. these days while there was apparently no risk management applied here. Maybe Jim Stone has a point, if not the truth.

"Bicycle is the slow #death of the #planet."


A banker made the economists think this when [they] said:⁣

“A cyclist is a #disaster for the country’s #economy: [they don't] buy cars and doesn’t borrow #money to buy. [They] don't pay insurance policies. Don't buy fuel, don't pay to have the #car serviced, and no repairs needed. [They don't] use paid parking. Doesn't cause any major accidents. No need for multi-lane highways.⁣

[They are] not getting obese.⁣

Healthy people are not necessary or useful to the economy. They are not buying the #medicine. They don't go to hospitals or doctors.⁣
They add nothing to the #country's #GDP.⁣

"On the contrary, each new McDonald’s store creates at least 30 jobs—actually 10 cardiologists, 10 dentists, 10 dietitians and nutritionists—obviously as well as the #people who #work in the store itself."⁣

Choose wisely: a #bike or a #McDonald's? It's something to think about.⁣
