THE DOWNSIDE OF JURASSIC PARK: RECONSTRUCTING ANCIENT PLAGUES
The mad scientists are at it again, according to phys.org, this time, not inventing the recrudescence of Jurassic Park and long-dead dinosaurs, but sequencing the genome of the Black Plague that decimated Europe in the 1300s:
Researchers reconstruct genome of the Black Death
Of course, we're being told all sorts of wonderful, and indeed, true things: knowledge of how this plague evolved, how it has been the basis for many infectious diseases since then, is a good thing to know, for understanding how the disease evolved, and how it responds to micro-evolutionary changes in humans, can greatly benefit medicine in combating such diseases:
"The direct descendants of the same bubonic plague continue to exist today, killing some 2,000 people each year.
"'We found that in 660 years of evolution as a human pathogen, there have been relatively few changes in the genome of the ancient organism, but those changes, however small, may or may not account for the noted increased virulence of the bug that ravaged Europe,' says Poinar. 'The next step is to determine why this was so deadly.'"
Such knowledge itself would be yet another alchemical transformation of mankind, for it holds out the prospect of increasing longevity, a veritable Philosophers' Stone coiled up in the helix of DNA.
But it takes little imagination to see another terrible prospect for the use of such knowledge. As the article makes clear, geneticists are close to unraveling the evolutionary history of the Black Plague. Such knowledge would conceivably also allow them to ascertain "where the bug took a wrong turn" and allow them to engineer an even more virulent strain of the plague, along with all manner of cures for it.
Such knowledge would, of course, be a great boon to a world elite that has on more than one occasion made its goal of "population reduction" (their euphemistic phrase for genocide) known. Consider the possibilities: such a strain would allow them to accomplish their goal, while keeping the "cure" to themselves, or, in yet another scenario, would allow them to market their "cure" to a desperate population willing to pay almost any price for it.
And of course, if you've been following all of my blogs on these sorts of topics, that would be entirely feasible, since it is now a well-established precedent in patent law that engineered life forms are patentable as intellectual property.
See you on the flip side.

You are refering to the fourteeth century plague there was one eight hundred years earliar during the reign of Justinian the Great in the sixth century either the same or earliar version of it about the same casuality rate as the later. If these fools are thinking of releasing this they should think again if they did it might go into business for itself and turn on them. There is also the possibilty that AIDS came about because of a Polio vaccine that was tested in Africa during the fifties to sixties. Remember Jeffrey Amherst and his use of Smallpox infected clothes against the Native Americans setting a dangerous precedent for the future but these jerks don’t care they have always been reckless damn the consequences.
This article brings the made-up word AGNOTOLOGY or the Cultural Production of Ignorance.
The product doesn’t matter for it could be cigarettes, pesticides,etc, etc or even the food we eat. It’s all the same to Ethically Changed CEOs =MONEY!. Or even worst – I think the researches found some of the rats’ grandchildren were sterile. Nice, very nice and the SUCKERS ARE PAYING FOR IT THEMSELVES.
Whole foods = 3X the average price and 3/4 of the food on their shelves is I heard – processed. And, do you believe everything you read on a label. Yes, miminum amounts in that item but if its in practically everything we eat that’s one big miminum.
You probably heard of chemical analysis tests done on a couple of hundred Umbilical Chords. Found mucho, mucho traces of chemicals I cant even pronounce.
Now — we’re zapped with this!
I remember biting into a delicious Macintosh Apple in my youth that came from the local countryside. Boy, was that good!
Too bad ADAM took a bite out of THAT APPLE for I think it’s now a TRICK OR TREAT kind of WORLD?
Hey check out universalconsciousness.com.au piece titled the mystical dimension of consciousness

paul degagne: Man do I like you!!!!
Humor, wit and intellect…if you were a woman, I’d have to club you and drag you to my cave 🙂
Re: Lucid Dream…its interesting how you bring this to my awareness. Just last night I had an ephinany watching of all things, Captain America (kinda horrible, DC comic movies are much better me thinks). There is a scene where C.A. loses his BFF and he stares at him falling. I suddenly realize if you want to wake up here, in this lucid dream (inception anyone?) you must create the conditions within Mind to leave. Lil Wayne has a line, death only comes when you say yes. Woah…body just lit up…but you remain grounded in this illusion until you take stock of the information that contradicts your existance NOW…remember time isn’t real, its created by all these cycles/revolutions around things…I’m 28.5 revolutions around the sun…it doesnt feel like earth is moving anywhere (ever been in an EQ? Now that is an amazing experience, the earth SLIDES underneath your feet; she moves after all)…
I will meditate with these thoughts and see where it takes me, but it would seem to wake up from here, you have to disassociate from all that is here and let go but FIRST you must believe it is possible. That is the crux of ALL that you question…you don’t think so…I think it was R.A.W. in Promethus Rising beliefs = reality, you can’t experience the illusion for what it is while you are steadfast entraining your mind in the opposite direction…swim with it, not against it, just be open…dont think about it at all…just be with it…
I suppose to a large degree, my transformation is centered in my heart and letting go of mind so much. But the heart will only speak softly as she loves you and won’t speak above mind. It is part of this illusion…you chose to be here remember…
Time is quite odd…its not linear (de jevu?), it has a density (whole life in seconds) and it has a charge (good times or bad). Mind tells us #1 is false, until dejavu (i can’t spell too well either) begs for our attention. It confuses…hearts know, minds think. My wife is amazing like that…how she can know something isn’t right about [pick anything] and give it time and universe will show her and now me, how right she was the whole time…it gets spooky at times…and she’s not even the least bit intellectually into it…she just laughs about it a lot.
Ah…free will…down here we dont [really] have it. Thoughts are photons, they travel in particle waves and could it simply be your “free will” choice about to be made here, is really coming from another “place”? (quantum entanglement?)
(re: murder, suicide) Nah it wouldnt be any difference down here to you b/c you wouldnt be here. But that line of thinking seems to suppose there is nothing on the other side of this illusion…I know this to be false so I see a difference from a different perspective…you learn different lessons from each road travelled…of course that lessons learned aren’t contained within THIS holographic sphere.
I love that phrase (dracula)!!!! No problem(s) mon…my prefered version though…nazi ratzi…man, we need to get a beer! The church is something else…I went as a child living in Germany at the time (military brat) and i was accused of throwing food on the side of the church b/c i happened to be staring at it, after i was told it was there to begin with…without evidence i was forced to “own this” and clean it up…I had to have been like 6 maybe…I only ever went anyway for the pot luck dinners when people left the church…irony is life eh?
(Re: Second response) Love Grof, didnt finish the book though (man i have way too d@mn many!!! I love Bohm…in fact, are we DIALOGUING??? Perhaps…we’re moving SOMEWHERE! Totally into the maps/territories metaphor…in fact, that’s why I’m trying to say, just let go of the minds concepts/maps, it will make them up on the fly ad infinium!!!!
Mix them up!!! I find far too often, success is utterly over rated and I only get anywhere, when i break something or fail. So I’m really into failing to learn (word order?)…jacked up right? Well it seems to work for ME, so I follow it…no book will ever capture the attention as, WTF, why didnt that do what i THOUGHT it should do!?
never heard of Baudrillard, but based on your sharp tongue, I’ll keep him off the reading list, like i said, I can’t even get to the books i actually WANT to read, let alone ones I’ll need to fill the margins with while reading. Watts is amazing too…explanation received 🙂
Have an awesome experience today…or two, maybe even go for a trifecta 🙂
Hermes – maybe I am fond of YOU too?
This post really doesn’t deal directly with the subject matter of the article but in a way it’s related (could be a stretch?) to Farrell’s writings.
LUCIDITY — do artist want it. They sure do. All I can say is read Peter Berger for one end and Arnold Mindel at the other end and anything your heart desires in between.
Create conditions — a little constant practice (lets say about 3 weeks worth) produces RESULTS using the Mmemorics suggested.
If Time isn’t REAL then I suggest you sneak out early from work 5 or 6 times and see if the BOSS believes TIME ISN’T REAL. You just may get yourself FIRED? That’s OK if you cant just say SHOVE IT!
About EQ. I don’t know nothing about it. Put me in solitary for 30 days on Devil’s Island and I think the results would be the same and I wouldn’t have to pay those dam admission fees!
Wasn’t William James who was out visiting San Francisco during the time they had that famous GREAT EARTHQUAKE? I think he said his experience was, I FELT I WAS STANDING ON SOME GIGANTIC SERPENT!
DISASSOCIATE — I don’t like that word. Try using the word DETACHMENT like some western buddhist would probably use. It aint a perfect word but it is less troublesome and doesn’t bring up so many hidden implications that cause arguments further down that road!
Beliefs equal REALITY — they do while dreaming although I would put it another way. If while dreaming you think WHAT YOUR PERCEIVING is IMPOSSIBLE then it probably be IMPOSSIBLE. But for one tiny MICRO-SECOND you think it is possible then you will (using visual talk) see some marvelous or fascinating phenomenia.
Again, this IMPOSSIBLE business while dreaming? = upon awakening you will probably CONFABULATE a dream meaning or make up your own story of what happened to you in the dream because what you may have perceived in the dream was just too far beyond belief and your CONSCIOUS MIND has this tendency to construct it in a way that makes ordinary sense appear reasonable.
Enough of this for I can go on and on and on but I wont!
Water is the GREATEST GOOD in the TAO. The way to RISE IN LIFE is to hit those dam WALLS because then the water will lift you til it pours over the top and down you go again — down could be falling backward or foreward dependent on YOU?
Now for some serious stuff — In William James classic -“The Varieties of Religious Experience” he suggests:
Did this experience TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE — or was it just another I_MAX THRILL which faded in a couple of hours or days?
I wish I could have a TRANSFORMATION that created HAPPINESS in MY LIFE? And not the Huxley kind. Even if it was just a plain ordinary mundane event in my life that just grew and grew and grew.
I would like that very much!
Have a very good day all of you and sweet dreams, ha, ha! (lucid dreaming is kinda like acid but without those NASTY SIDE EFFECTS. Learning HOW TO JUST LIVE is what I and many other know-it-alls WOULD LIKE TO DO but woe is me, we fail. Like saint Paul —not this one writing but the one who said ” I mean to do good but all I do is sin. (or something to that effect)

All I REALLY WANTED IN LIFE WAS TO BE SOME YOUNG POTATO FARMER IN IRELAND WITH A PITCHFORK AND A PRETTY IRISH LASS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Instead at 62 — I find my-self married to a former mormon adoptee that didn’t know she was half Pez NIEZE INDIAN AND HALF JEWISH TIL SHE WAS 40!?
SOMETHING SOMEWHERE IS DOING I DON’T KNOW WHAT?
I’m with you, Joseph, that is terrifying to imagine what the psychopaths do with this type of research which they, I’m sure, are behind in the first place.
Worse to realize that if it is being talked about in the news, it has already been done. Kind of like that Eskimo woman they dug up a few years ago so they could back-engineer the Spanish Flu of 1917! THAT which, it was admitted by one of the Rockefeller’s themselves, I believe, that the Spanish Flu epidemic was actually caused by the first generation of vaccines given to the soldiers who went overseas. But it was given first to the Germans, which is the only reason our side made any headway.
Those first vaccines were nothing more than a witches brew of various kinds of deadly pus, stirred together and injected into people in the HOPES that their theory of stimulating the immune response would work! Sounds about as responsible to me as when they first detonated atomic weapons, not knowing whether it would cause a chain reaction and destroy everything in its path.
Or like CERN, and their gawdawful hunt for the so-called God Particle. Even though other physicists fear that creating an artificial black hole could gobble Earth up from the inside….are they using any caution that we can be aware of? Heck no! It’s full-steam ahead. One can only hope that the weird stories of mysterious visitors from the future coming back to gum (or crumb!) up the works are really true, and that our future selves are saving us from our current selves!
Anyway, the sooner the psychopaths are “revealed” for who/what they are and what they’ve done, the better. It makes me hope-I-hope-I-hope that Benjamin Fulford really DOES have the inside scoop and they are being routed out as we speak. Here’s a link to a really interesting recent interview: “Secret societies at war, The war will soon be over Benjamin Fulford with Vinny Eastwood”

If anyone was stupid enough to infect lots of people with a plague, and then keep the “cure” for themselves, then they are playing with fire.
Because its quite possible that the disease will mutate, bypassing the cure. Those elites would then be killed by their own weapon.
And, of course, they always fail to take into consideration all the other parameters of illness – diet, cleanliness, living conditions, weather (oh, no, global warming caused the plague! – you wait – they will say it – in fact I think they already have….).
Considering how virulent anthrax and other things are, I doubt that the plague is really all that much worse. There were thieves who protected themselves with essential oil blends (a derivative of which is available today) while they stole from plague victims. when caught, they traded the formula for lighter sentences.
Microbes are held to be the key to disease, but they are not. Pasteur faked a lot of his data, supposed revealed in writings recently released by an heir, and there is much contradictory data. They obviously play a role, but it is not easy to infect a healthy individual.
Of course, today there are few truly healthy individuals, a result of the manipulations by the same old group of corporate fascist/banksters.
Besides, this is only the public announcement of this research. How long has it really been going on? We know that the military in the US and Germany and England were all researching such things before WW2. Then there is the story of the US army giving blankets infected with smallpox to Native Americans.
Then again, maybe that research path was fruitless, because so many of us now carry immunity to that bug, and the only value it has is scare value, to keep the fear of the hidden “masters” alive. Perhaps someone will stumble upon a key to general immunity and leak it to the world.
Bottom line is that there is always someone willing to create newer, nastier ways of killing people, and it is better to create energetic pathways for more positive results to enter reality than to dwell on the negative, which only reinforces the “bad guys” power.
This is heavy stuff.

For openers, I thought I heard somewhere years ago that they know what the Black Plague was and that it was not that difficult to contain but nobody understood this back then so it was very lethal. Maybe that was the Black Plague as opposed to the Black Death. Maybe my information is incorrect.
As for the rest, I have long advocated taking out the Looters, the so-called “Elite,” in one fell swoop In one hour in one day if possible. As they are at war with humanity, the only limit on the death and destruction they inflict on humanity being limited by what they can do, “the science of the possible” as LBJ would say, they neither deserve a trial nor is it judiciously safe to try to keep them alive for trial. They should be killed one and all ASAP.
The bloodier their fall the better to make an example of them for all to see just in case somebody gets any ideas of standing in their lieu; pyramid style.
Just so there is NO misunderstanding about my moral constitution and my intentions, I will explain my calling for the deaths of the cabal that runs Earth as illustrated in my above comment and others.
The Looters, which everyone likes to call “Elite,” do or have done the following:
1. Caused and managed a number of wars including World War One, World War Two, the American Civil War, Vietnam, the present wars in the Middle East and more killing hundreds of millions of people.
2. Taken over and destroyed and enslaved numerous nations including Soviet Russia (U.S.S.R.), North Korea, Cambodia, Communist China, and more resulting in the suffering and deaths of hundreds of millions of people.
3. Presently involved in the final take-down of the once free and great United States of America turning “the land of the free and the home of the brave” into a(n) horrifying prison death state making Nazi Germany and Communism look like a Sunday picnic in the park.
4. The Looters’ self-proclaimed plans for the Earth include the killing of over 6,000,000,000 people and the borgification of the rest.
5. They continually manipulate the weather and spray chem-trails into the sky in a grid-like pattern on a worldwide basis (I remember the much bluer clearer skies of my youth.) manipulating the weather to no good end.
6. They are taking control of the entire planet-wide food and vitamin production and delivery system with the intention of making billions of people sickly and thus causing the direct bodily suffering of these same billions.
7. There is more. I could go on.
8. On the other hand, the Looters have demonstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt that they possess an energy generation (zero point energy?) and wireless power delivery system that can focus deliver incredible amounts of energy to any portion of the Earth and yet they not only withhold this from the benefit of mankind but use it as a weapon to kill and enslave mankind.
So when I call for the deaths of these few thousands of individuals and the upper echelons of their minions, I am doing so as the only reasonable alternative in a do or die situation. (The other alternative is my own suffering and premature death, which puts the damper on my ability to reason at all.)
Personally, I love life and I don’t like to see living things suffer or die. So when I call for the death of the Looters (“Elite”), I consider this a MANLY thing to do as there is NO way to peacefully coexist with them.
People can go on hoping, wishing, and voting for their sock-puppet politicians in staged and rigged elections but that ain’t gonna’ do it. It’s the Superbowl of all Superbowls and we are behind and it’s the last two minutes of the game.
I am glad to get this off my chest. Thank you for reading along.
Off topic but on a lighter note did anyone see this?

THEM !
The giants ants from the New Mexico desert.
Any one remember all those B- SciFi that came out of
all those A+ tests?
The [A+] is for those anomalous(?) yields I read about
in your book, Joseph.
Didn’t know that–thanx–always like to learn
new things.
I hear ya Quasar.
THEY LIE !!!
Sadly, their signature is writ large.
And far too soon,
…the future will NOT lie with electoral politics,
….it will lie in street warfare.
The problem with biological weapons is that they are notorious for ‘blowback’. The reason being is that bacteria(ect.) mutate extensively. So the suspect ‘killer sequence’ could be hyjacked into another ‘form’ that would bypass ‘the cure’. Although, a ‘stopgap’ assurance, would theoretically be in place. They well know of the passage, ‘The best laid plans’, scenario.
But when did that ever stop them?
All the more reqson abish the concept of Intellectual Property. This idea has been disastrous to progress and innovation and destroys the integrity of real property. Ideas cannot be owned any more than can emotions or thoughts.
“allow them to engineer an even more virulent strain of the plague, along with all manner of cures for it.”
“cures” (cough) = VACCINES = increased illness: genocide
long live whistleblowers like Jane Bürgermeister (what an incredibly courageous woman), Dr. Carley, Mike Adams, Dr. Mercola, etc.!
Has anyone else noticed how all the doom/gloom crap is NOT happening…maybe its because I am creating this experience and I KNOW this and I will not allow this, but seriously…you go down this rabbit hole of elites and what they want to do and guess what…the entire universe is elite…the entire universe is in cahoots with us all to experience…there is only energy vibration and it is deemd good/bad by the observer…observe, acknowledge and accept it…and life flows on…
Sorry, in a super peaceful state that can not be breached!
Adonai!
Said MUCH simpler…DUALITY is dying folks 🙂
Hermes,
So you solved the PROBLEM OF OPPOSITES? (for good)
I want some of that GOLD when you get done down in your LAB.
If not I’m SNITCHING ON YOU—HA,HA!
P.S.
I think I am in for a long, long wait?
Have a long, long and PEACEFUL NICE DAY.
The problem of opposites is not out there anywhere to be solved…the outside, the outter is only solved when you know you are creating the outside inside you…
Say you break a leg today…that’s bad right? Your house burns down while you’re in the hospital…that broken leg doesnt seem so bad anymore eh (you may have died in it, no)? At the end of the day we give everything out here emotion/feeling/meaning (duality)…once you watch it live inside and accept it all, you reconcile the perceived contradictions.
Consider you are most likely to be killed by your lover (statistically true), but I thought they loved you??? Perhaps hate is simply the inverse of love therefore they are both the same energy just expressed from an opposite pole.
Thanks for having my back 🙂
The wait is only long because you’ve chosen it to be so…if you chose it to be different, it can be so…but first you must impregnate your consciousness with this seed of belief…I wish you well my friend!
Ah, the FREE WILL debate DISGUISED as CHOICE . Around my place we talk about this. You sound like my wife. She is a Free-will spokes-person and I am a SOFT-DETERMINIST because I am too scared to be a DETERMINIST!
If I have as much CHOICE AS some say then… ? Do YOU? Why not try STOP BREATHING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES? Try that experiment for yourself. Tell me the results?
I’ve tried it and failed! I just ended up a little dizzy!
Out there is not out there — It only seems out there but when I try and put my foot through the wall – out there stops me and hurts my toes.
In my INTELLECT I think I am like YOU. It is all ILLUSION but WHAT A DARN CONVINCING ILLUSION.
I can DOUBT THE OBSERVER unlike Descartes. I remember reading in a lucid dreaming manual how this one guy was arguing a similar point we are sharing. He kicked a rock and said, “How can you doubt this is not real?” THEN at that moment he aAWOKE from SLEEPING. Realized he had his 1st LUCID DREAM!
So if I am just dreaming right this moment then your TOTAL CORRECT. The trouble is I DON’T THINK SO? Time is very ODD? Some say a lifetime can pass in just a few moments like when your just about to be in a car crash and SEE YOU ENTIRE LIFE PASS YOUR sic EYES (?) in a couple of seconds!
I always wondered how in a darkened room I can see irescandent (cant spell) light?
FREE WILL — ever heard of that psychological experiment where the instruments record ACTIVITY 3 SECONDS BEFORE you DECIDE to move your little pinky-finger. ( could be the instruments are recording something else besides the THOUGHT or the CHOICE of ‘I am going to move my little pinky?)
It makes me pause as Farrell stated about TRANSFORMATIONS, I think?
I like to give meaning to my life. Hate/Love just may be the same energy but what a difference there is in comprehension if you receive one and not the other. IF I DO have all this CHOICE you say I do then I CHOSE love. (unless I am really, really pissed off but I don’t like it when my buttons are pushed that hard — it doesn’t matter even if I pushed them my self.
Hey, someone murders you is the same as if you kill yourself. The only difference is the BODY OF EVIDENCE is YOU lying on the floor dead as a doornail) By this I mean what difference does it make? I am dead because YOU CHOSE IT or I am dead because I CHOSE IT. It’s all the same to DEAD LITTLE ME!
Now that it’s almost Halloween I saw a bubble-gum card with a cartoon picture of Dracula saying above his head —‘DON’T worry about life because YOU WILL NEVER MAKE IT OUT ALIVE! (such wisdom!)
Watching each others back.
I like that but my shady mind recalls what the Author F. Celine once wrote about I think it;s called the Sacrasy (the room out of sight besides the altar where the priest and the altar boys come out at the begining of the Catholic Mass. Well, Celine said or wrote —- The Sacrasy is where the priests sharpen their DAGGERS!
I had to laugh at the one because I don’t like the CHURCH MUCH what with NAZI RATZI. (didn’t enjoy it much back then either)
And that is MY CHOICE!
I should be a little more fair with YOU for you did say thank you for watching my back.
In Stanislav Grof’s -The Holotropic Mind, he writes (pg. 8) “These perceptions have emerged as special forms from a much larger matrix. He calls the latter the ‘enfolded” or “implicate order.” In other words, that which we perceive as reality IS LIKE a projected holographic image.
The key two words in the above paragraph is = IS LIKE? Believe me if he, (Bohm), could prove (HIS MODEL) or IT, he most certainly would! NOw if he stated “IS” then that is a different story!
The Map (concepts/models) IS not the territory!
Don’t get me wrong. I am studying this for I think it’s a very good metaphor to be used for understanding the INCOMPREHENSIBLE!
I just don’t want to MIX UP THINGS at the beginning which will cause innumeral confusions later on when the developments get really, really complex! A little extra time spent going a little SLOW pays off when the time comes when we have to race like rabbits to catch up!
All this reminds me of the almost unreadable post-modern language of Baudrillard and his reflections on what he calls HYPEREALITY or the HYPEREAL or Simply = SIMULATION.
He bloats on how we all lost touch with THE REAL in this MEDIA UNIVERSE? I don’t trust Baudrillard? What most of us call only a potential HE sometimes calls an ACTUALITY!
I had enough of this academic stuff;
I remember watching Alan Watts explaining ‘some times we get too close to a subject or object and cant see or we think what we see is all that is. He used an example like this to demonstrate what he means:
Lets say your visiting an Art Museum and there is this very large painting (maybe say 30 ft. by 20ft. long) and we, no — I put my nose to the very bottom right hand corner and then look to what I can see.
I don’t have to explain further.
