The Black Death Was History's Most Lethal Plague. Now Scientists Say They Know Where It Started

Because of cleanliness jewish people were less likely to catch it.Many people of the time therefore blamed the joooos!!!

The Jews basically handled the black death like Leviticus says to handle leprosy. One of the Italian kingdoms decided to do the same, making a rule that if someone gets sick with it they should be set aside for 40 days from everybody else. The way they said "40 days" in that old Italian dialect is where get our word "quarantine" today.

Black death is an inner-city pandemic.

HISTORYS MOST LETHAL PLEAUGE IS MARXISM.

Doctors wore masks, in Italy and other parts of Europe, but at a somewhat later date, They covered the whole face and had bird beaks over the nose.

They didn't prevent getting the BLACK DEATH, though.

People ( wealthy ones ) who lived in big cities often fled to the countryside; hence we have THE DECAMERON...read it!

As the old French saying goes: "THE MORE THINGS CHANGE, THE MORE THEY REMAIN THE SAME."!

Marmots aren’t all that innocent...

You Are Entering Marmot Country.

From spring through mid-summer, the marmots of Mineral King have been known to dine on radiator hoses and car wiring. They can disable a vehicle. On several occasions, marmots have not escaped the engine compartment quickly enough and unsuspecting drivers have given them rides to other parts of the parks; several have ridden as far as southern California!

Maybe that’s the next one. They have to depopulate somehow.

Bet this one forcefully works on the elderly (Medicare/Medicaid)
Babies too. Not enough abortions.

The Nestorian Church spread east along the Silk Road to China.

The Church of the East (also known as the Nestorian Church) historically had a presence in China during two periods: first from the 7th through the 10th century in the Tang dynasty, when it was known as Jingjiao (Chinese: 景教; pinyin: Jǐngjiào; Wade–Giles: Ching3-chiao4; lit. ‘Luminous Religion’), and later during the Yuan dynasty in the 13th and 14th centuries, when it was described alongside other foreign religions like Catholicism and possibly Manichaeism as Yelikewen jiao (Chinese: 也里可溫教; pinyin: Yělǐkěwēn jiào).

The Xi’an Stele, erected in Chang’an 781.
After centuries of hiatus, the first Assyrian Church of the East Divine Liturgy was celebrated in China in 2010.[1]

Pocket full of poseys.

Marmots live at alpine elevations, fleas not so much as it tends to be too dry for their eggs to survive.

A hunter prepares two marmots shot at dusk. He removes the organs and the guts. He eats the kidneys raw. The heart, liver and other edible organs are placed back in the gut hole along with the hands and feet. The Marmot is cooked by inserting hot river stones in the gut cavity while the skin is burned away using a torch. It is very chewy because the skin in eaten with the meat and fat. The Mongolians accept it as a delicacy.

Have you noticed that humans lead the animal kingdom in autoimmune disease as well? Zonulin passes all sorts of antigens into the lymph and blood systems including food opioids, the cause of most autoimmune diseases. It’s a nasty side effect of evolution’s rush to eliminate overcrowding through death and improvement.

"It’s more likely that Y. Pestis made the jump from animal to human due to human consumption of marmots and other carriers of the disease."
Do marmots close relative today carry the Yersinia pestis bacteria or its antigens?

I watched a show with Josh Gates in Mongolia. His guide shot a marmot gutted it and cooked it in the ground after burning off the hair. Gates didn’t seem too thrilled with the idea but went through with eating with his guide.

He is indeed…

A very FAT, pampered, Whistle Pig…

Otherwise know as a meatloaf on legs…

They hadn’t back then too!

"Hey Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!"
"Again?!?"
"Nothin' up muh sleeve. Presto!"
"ROAR!"
"Must be the wrong hat."
