False Flags and Conspiracy Theories
Chapter 10 – The 1918 Rockefeller-US Army “Spanish Flu”
This one qualifies as a genuine false-flag operation
even though it began life more innocently. Normally, a false-flag operation begins with
a conspiracy to commit a felony of one sort or another, with an integral part of the plan
being to attribute the blame to someone else. This one didn’t begin that way,
but it certainly ended that way.
One new historical development that has been evolving
over a few years and now brought into focus because of COVID-19, is the
so-called “Spanish Flu” of 1918. Recurring reports and documentation are now
emerging to tell us that this ‘Greatest Pandemic in History’ was (1) not “Spanish”, (2) not “the flu”
and, (3) not a natural occurrence but the result of human tinkering with
vaccines. There surely
is much more to emerge, but the accumulating evidence to date is too compelling
to dismiss.
In simple terms, the emerging evidence supports
postulations that the 1918 pandemic was caused by a misguided – and very experimental
– Rockefeller
Institute meningitis vaccination program which was initiated at Fort Riley by the US military, and spread to the world from
there. This essay will attempt to briefly document the evidence that is
available so far. There will of course be many objections to the content of
this essay, not only from the ideologues and trolls, but from those in high
places with vital body organs requiring protection.
First, there was never any justification for
associating the 1918 pandemic with Spain. The pathogen did not originate in
Spain, nor was Spain the hardest hit. The most commonly-accepted “official story” as related by our
media is that all countries but Spain had initiated severe censorship (due to
the war) and thus public awareness and the facts of the pandemic freely
circulated only in the Spanish media, and so it was “natural” to refer to this
as the Spanish Flu. In any case, the documented evidence is increasingly voluminous – and
increasingly solid – that this outbreak originated at Fort Riley, Kansas, in the US. Conspiracy theorists and
historical revisionists cannot change this now.

The 1918 pandemic was quite possibly the worst the
world had seen, certainly for centuries. It infected about 500 million people and killed at
least 50 million worldwide. The current “official narrative” is that it was caused by “an H1N1 virus
that originated in birds” (which is not a ‘flu’ in any case), and these claims
appear to be false. This “influenza” was “first identified in the US in
military personnel” in the spring of 1918 but, in a 2008 report, the US NIH
admitted that most of the deaths were not from ‘the flu’ nor from any bird
virus but from a
bacterial pneumonia. [1] The NCBI concurred. [2] The details of the studies
corroborate this extensively, in which even Dr. Anthony Fauci says, “We agree completely that bacterial
pneumonia played a major role in the mortality of the 1918 pandemic.” [3] In fact, it is now stated that the
reason modern medical technology was never able to identify the “killer
influenza strain” from this pandemic was because influenza was not the killer.
It might be obvious to us today because we know that influenza attacks the
young, old and immuno compromised, while the “Spanish Flu” almost exclusively
attacked healthy people in their prime – which is what a bacterial pneumonia does. [4] [5].
Again, the official narrative tells us that, due to
troop movements because of the war, the pathogen was spread worldwide. But the
current emerging thesis is that troop movements might have been irrelevant
because Rockefeller, in their combined haste and hubris, “sent their experimental
anti-meningococcal serum to England, France, Belgium, Italy and many other
countries, helping spread the epidemic worldwide.” It certainly appears to be the prime suspect, and we
can understand the reluctance of today’s WHO and CDC to reveal this to the
popular press. As Dr. Kevin Barry wrote:
“It would be much more difficult to maintain the
marketing mantra of “vaccines save lives” if a vaccine experiment originating
in the United States . . . caused the deaths of 50-100 million people”, [and]
“The American Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research and its experimental
bacterial meningococcal vaccine may have killed 50-100 million people in
1918-19” is a far less effective sales slogan. [6]

According to the 2008 National Institute of Health
paper, bacterial
pneumonia was the killer in a minimum of 92.7% of the 1918-19 autopsies
reviewed. It is likely
higher than 92.7%. The researchers looked at more than 9000 autopsies, and
“there were no negative (bacterial) lung culture results.” “… In the 68
higher-quality autopsy series, in which the possibility of unreported negative
cultures could be excluded, 92.7% of autopsy lung cultures were positive for ≥1
bacterium. … in one study of approximately 9000 subjects who were followed from
clinical presentation with influenza to resolution or autopsy, researchers
obtained, with sterile technique, cultures of either pneumococci or
streptococci from 164 of 167 lung tissue samples.”
Further, “There were 89 pure cultures of pneumococci;
19 cultures from which only streptococci were recovered; 34 that yielded
mixtures of pneumococci and/or streptococci; 22 that yielded a mixture of
pneumococci, streptococci, and other organisms (prominently pneumococci and
non-hemolytic streptococci); and 3 that yielded non-hemolytic streptococci
alone. There were no negative lung culture results.” (See reference 2)
“Pneumococci or streptococci were found in “164 of 167 lung tissue samples”
autopsied.” That is 98.2%. Bacteria was the killer. [6]

“The 1918 and 1919 volumes of the Journal of the
American Medicine Association include many articles on the cause, prevention,
and treatment of influenza. Again and again, investigators wonder at the spotty
presence of B. influenzae in the ill, note its presence in healthy individuals,
and observe it in other infections such as measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria,
and varicella (chickenpox).” In one article, the authors write, “There seems to
be no justification for the belief that the epidemic was due to the influenza
bacillus, which is probably a secondary invader and bears about the same
relation to the influenza cases as to respiratory infections of a different
sort” (Lord 1919). [7]
This appears to be where the story begins:
Following an outbreak of epidemic meningitis at Camp
Funston, Kansas, in October and November, 1917, a series of anti-meningitis
vaccinations was undertaken on subjects from the camp. [8] At that time, vaccinations (and
perhaps much of medical science generally) were in their infancy, with very
much unknown. In particular, Dr. Gates himself (see Note 8) notes that prior to
this time, “meningococcus vaccines have not been extensively employed for
prophylactic immunization, and only a few references are to be found in the
literature that relate vaccination experiences.” He further relates that
the few referenced cases experienced “very severe” reactions to the vaccines –
which were entirely experimental.
The US Army ballooned from little
more than 250,000 to 6,000,000 men. Source
In this case, the Rockefeller Institute, which seems
to be where the experiments in opening this special compartment of Pandora’s
Box originated, contrived an experimental vaccine and were understandably anxious
to “see what
happens”. It was
apparently a rather crude anti-bacterial vaccine that was made in horses. I
haven’t the medical competence to comment on the equine portion but others more
knowledgeable have suggested this might not have been the best method. One
enormous advantage of the war to Rockefeller was that the US Army ballooned
from little more than 250,000 to 6,000,000 men, with the “Rockefeller Institute
for Medical Research” now having an enormous pool of human guinea pigs to
conduct vaccine experiments.
In a 26-page paper published in July of 1918 by Dr.
Fredrick L. Gates, M. D., First Lieutenant, Medical Corps, U. S. Army, writing
from the Base Hospital, Fort Riley, Kansas, and The Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research, New York, Dr. Gates outlines the procedure. [8]
“For the determination of dosage and the study of
reactions and antibody formation six groups of about 50 men each were chosen
from the various companies in the regiment. Successive groups received
increasing doses of vaccine in a series of three injections at 4 to 10-day
intervals. The determination of the dosage of vaccine for subsequent groups
followed from the reports of the reactions produced by the given doses. It was
considered important to increase the doses gradually in order to locate closely
the zone of mild reactions and to avoid unexpectedly severe results.”
“The occurrence of an occasional reaction of greater
severity even with the smaller doses, and increasing local tenderness after the
injection of the larger doses of vaccine led to the choice of relatively lower
doses for the general series throughout the camp rather than the attempt to
push the dosage up to the limit of endurance. Later experience fully justified
this decision. The preliminary series of vaccinations, therefore, served to
establish the method of injection, the proper dosage for extended vaccination,
the reactions which might be expected to follow the chosen doses, and the
production of immune bodies in the serum of vaccinated men. On the basis of
these findings the vaccine was offered to the camp at large.”
“Heretofore meningococcus vaccines have not been
extensively employed for prophylactic immunization, and only a few references
are to be found in the literature that relate vaccination experiences.” Those
few references listed apparently experienced severe reactions, all of which
indicates this was truly an experiment intruding on ground not before traveled.

The results were not long in coming. “… Fourteen of
the largest training camps had reported “influenza outbreaks” in March, April,
or May, and some of the infected troops carried the virus with them aboard
ships to France … As soldiers in the trenches became sick, the military
evacuated them from the front lines and replaced them with healthy men. This
process continuously brought the virus into contact with new hosts – young,
healthy soldiers in which it could adapt, reproduce, and become extremely
virulent without danger of burning out.”

“… Before any travel ban could be imposed, a
contingent of replacement troops departed Camp Devens (outside of Boston) for
Camp Upton, Long Island, the Army’s debarkation point for France, and took
influenza with them. Medical officers at Upton said it arrived “abruptly” on
September 13, 1918, with 38 hospital admissions, followed by 86 the next day,
and 193 the next. Hospital admissions peaked on October 4 with 483, and within
40 days, Camp Upton sent 6,131 men to the hospital for influenza. Some
developed pneumonia so quickly that physicians diagnosed it simply by observing
the patient rather than listening to the lungs…” [9]
I would say here that all indications are that this
event was accidental. There may well have been hubris and ‘god-like’ imaginings
at the Rockefeller Institute, but I am not in a position to make such
accusations. From everything I have seen in researching this subject and, while
I cannot speak for Rockefeller, the US military appears to have approached this
with sincerity, good intentions, and high hopes of staving off meningitis
infections in their troops. I have referenced above the paper by Dr. Gates that
was written in 1918, and have studied it repeatedly. From those readings, I recognise no
hint of deception or cover-up, no recklessness, no disdain for the lives of the
soldiers, and no attempt (as we see with vaccines today) to minimise or discard
the dangers of adverse reactions. The entire tone of his paper is one of an intelligent and educated medical
officer sincerely documenting the situation of a dangerous pathogen and his
efforts to eliminate it. He is careful in his statements; he documents the care
in administering minor and increasing doses of the vaccine and monitoring their
effects at every stage. From everything I have learned, I could find no fault
with the US military in this ‘experiment’, except perhaps the fact that it was
an experiment. The faults, disdain, cover-ups and deception came later.

My reading of the aftermath is that both the
Rockefeller Institute and the US military (after conducting their thousands of
autopsies) fully realised what had happened and, in humanly-understandable terms in the face of
the calamity they had inadvertently unleashed, decided the most prudent course
was to bury the truth rather than face the recriminations of an already
war-weary world. Let’s not
forget this pandemic killed more people than did the war itself, by a very
large margin. In that
situation, what would you do? Can you see the headlines in the NYT and London
Times, reading “Whoops!”. I believe that this pandemic became the ‘flu’ and
‘Spanish’ because it disguised both the origin and the pathogen itself,
steering the world’s public in wrong directions and blaming everything on
nature. But perhaps after more than 100 years it is time for the US to show a
bit of courage and integrity and tell the truth. There is after all a first time for everything.

“Chinese Coolies”

There is one other aspect to this that requires
mention: the attempt by
some individuals to lay the blame for this event on China. The accusation itself is too
foolish to warrant refuting, but I will briefly deal with it because it is one
element of a large category of history that demands public revelation – that of Jewish slave trading in
China which ended only because of WWI. The connection with this topic to the
1918 pandemic is that the mobilization of 96,000 Chinese laborers to work
behind the British and French lines on World War I’s Western Front – may have
been the source of the pandemic. The International Opium Jews had infiltrated
themselves so thoroughly into China that they controlled Chiang Kai-Shek and
prevailed upon him to provide yet more Chinese as slave labor and cannon fodder
for their war in Europe. Chiang obliged, and the Chinese citizens were forcibly conscripted as
always.

Distribution of Labour Companies by Employments and Formations (catalogue
reference: WO 107/37). Source
They were sent first to Canada, transported across the
country to the Atlantic, then shipped to Europe where nearly all of them died. The new and insidious interpretation
is that the Chinese came not only with their luggage but with the “Spanish
flu”, ready to infect the world. One Jewish historian tells us that at the time
China was suffering from something that “must have been” the Spanish flu, and
thus carried it from the Great Wall to Europe. No indication of how it
migrated to Fort Riley. And of course, the reason the Spanish flu
didn’t affect China was because all Chinese had already been infected and were
immune. I was always a
fan of Science Fiction, but it occurs to me that Medical Fiction may be even
more exciting.

There is much effort today by Jewish historians to
attribute the so-called “Spanish flu” to the Chinese, as there also is to
attribute Europe’s Bubonic Plague to Chinese – by the same Jewish historians. Perhaps the time has finally
arrived for the world to know the truth of a great many things.
The “Fact-Checkers”
One of the more interesting aspects of this topic was
that, immediately upon this information coming to light and attracting enormous
attention in the alternate media, it seemed that almost every part of “the
establishment” had panicked and were tripping over themselves to “fact-check”
this and proclaim it false. Reuters (who are even less trustworthy than the New York
Times, if that’s possible) managed to publish a non-stop flurry of “fact-check” articles denouncing
this theory, insisting the 1918 pandemic “was not caused” by a vaccine. [10] [11] Reuters were so concerned they even
fact-checked and pronounced false, things that no one said, including a
statement by Fauci that masks caused the pandemic. [12]. To further remove the conspiracy
theorists, Reuters also solemnly proclaimed that the Spanish Flu was “not
caused by electricity”, either. [13] USA Today insisted that “Genetic evidence shows flu virus caused 1918 pandemic, not vaccines”. [14]. Many others did the same.
My observation on this is that you don’t attract this
much flak unless you are directly over the target.
