In light of the environmental catastrophe in Eastern Ohio/Western Pennsylvania right now, I thought it would interest you to share information I wrote in my book. “FOWL! Bird Flu is Not What You Think” You can read more about the health effects of environmental chemicals on your health. The past is predictive about the future. A Substack I wrote previously on environmental chemicals also. Here Thanks for reviewing.

“It happened in the past; we MUST prevent it from happening again.”

The correlation between massive chemical use during World War I (1915-1917), just before the outbreak of the Great Influenza Pandemic, has received little attention.

The Leavenworth Papers were published in 1984 by the Combat Studies Institute of the U.S Army at Fort Leavenworth (Kansas) and is a collection containing monographs about military history, strategy, and other topics. One paper, ahref=”https://www.armyupress.army.mil/Books/Browse-Books/Leavenworth-Papers/”>Leavenworth Paper No. 10The following article describes the introduction of chemical agents during World War I, the U.S. Army’s marginal preparations to gas warfare before entering war and the experiences of the AEF (Air Expeditionary Force), with gas on Western Front.

Let’s take a look! “pandemic” A different perspective: Chemical poisoning.

Chemicals

Below is a summary of the Leavenworth paper.

Chemists from both sides looked into more than 3,000 chemical compounds for possible use as weapons during World War I. Only a few of the 30 combatants achieved the desired, devastating military results. The effects of war gasses and chemicals on the human body were grouped. The most commonly used chemical by both sides was mustard gas. It had the most deadly and harmful effects. It was responsible for 1205,655 non-fatal injuries. 91,198 deaths.

Strictly speaking, mustard gas (dichlorethyl-sulfide) is not a gas, but a liquid, which slowly vaporizes at normal ambient temperatures. Powdered chlorine bleach can be used to remove mustard gas from equipment and dugouts. Mustard gas could be toxic in high concentrations, which were not detectable by smell. Although the gas was not felt immediately, it caused discomfort for hours. The individual would then experience severe burning and choking. All types of mustard gas were able to penetrate them. “protective” clothing and was remarkably persistent over time in the environment—soil, leaves, and grasses.

[An interesting aside is that in 1942, mustard gas was one of the first chemicals to be used as a cancer drug.]

From 1915 onwards, the Germans had a large advantage in the field of gas warfare. Agents were developed that could use long-range shells rather than short-range canisters. The use of heavy artillery meant that soldiers no longer had to depend on the wind for the correct delivery of their payload. “direct hits” To be successful. In May 1916, for example, shells were filled with diphosgene. It is a strong lung irritant. Later in 1916, shells were stuffed with 75 percent phosgene mixed with 25 percent diphosgene. Phosgene caused a lot of deaths from choking, heart failure, and inability to breath.

In July 1917, the sides used three different combinations of phosgene (diphosgene) and diphenylchlorosine (a chlorine powder laced in arsenic dust). Field trials showed that arsenic powder penetrated all types filters used in rudimentary masks. It was not the only thing that worked. “Yellow Cross” (mustard gas), which gave the Germans an advantage in chemical warfare. It spread quickly and remained in the air for a long time when mustard gas was combined with explosives.

Fast Forward: Explosion in East Palestine (Ohio)

The train that crashed in Eastern Ohio was composed of 151 cars. It measured 9,300 feet (nearly 2 miles) and weighed 18,000 tonnes (36 million). According to (PDF) The rail operator provided 20 cars of the train carrying the following information to the Environmental Protection Agency. Material that is hazardous (PDF). Vinyl chloride, which is among the chemicals that have been released into the environment or burned into the atmosphere, has received the most attention.

When vinyl chloride is burned, it releases dangerous chemicals such as phosgenes and hydrogen chloride into our air. Phosgene can cause nausea and breathing difficulties. It is a colorless, pungent gas. It was once used to make a weapon during World War I.

Vinyl chloride is linked to several liver conditions according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer. The IARC and the Department of Health and Human Services, (DHHS), and EPA. All agree There is. “sufficient evidence” It is possible to conclude that vinyl chloride exposure can cause angiosarcoma in the liver and hepatocellular cancer. [liver cancer]. Vinyl chloride can be classified as a Human carcinogen of class 1.

At room temperature (70°F), phosgene is a poisonous gas. Since the 1930s, it has been known that vinyl chloride can cause liver damage even if the exposure is short-term. Maltoni (another Italian researcher working for the European vinyl-chloride industry) discovered that liver tumors including angiosarcoma could be caused by vinyl chloride exposures as low at 250 ppm (250mg) for as little as four hours each day. [REF: Maltoni, C. “Cancer Detection and Prevention” Presented at the Second International Symposium on Cancer Detection and Prevention. Bologna, April 9–12, 1973.]

Researchers have discovered that vinyl chloride is most toxic to the liver. This has been confirmed by many studies over the last 100 years. The protection of the liver from cancer caused by this chemical exposure is also important.

Back to WWI: The Army’s Idea of ‘Protective’ Equipment

The troops faced serious problems with personal protection. German armies started using self-contained respirators only in the last months of 1915. The Russians were less concerned with protective equipment than the British, Germans and French. They were the ones who suffered the greatest chemically inflicted losses in war.

For example, Russian troops unprotected were exposed to 536,000 lbs of chlorine gas as 12,000 cylinders were fired off by the Germans in one attack. Nearly all of the Russian troops perished.

The U.S. declared war against Germany on April 6, 1917. No one in the military had any knowledge of the German chemical warfare. The Army didn’t have any protective equipment for chemical war and did not plan to develop any gas masks, or any other type to protect its troops.

When U.S. troops arrived at French ports in the summer 1917, they found that none of them had ever been trained in chemical warfare. This was despite chemical warfare being a common practice for European troops for almost two years. More than 12,000 troops were moved within 30 miles of front line on the eve American intervention. They did so without gas masks. Even if gas masks were available, Army men didn’t know how to use them.

The U.S. military did not establish gas training camps until January 1918. All recruits had to pass the training camps by the summer 1918. “standardized chemical warfare training.”

Training consisted of a brief lecture, followed by a one hour gas mask drill five days a semaine under the supervision British instructors. In a chamber filled in chlorine gas, the training involved putting on and taking off masks. Next, troops were placed in a chamber with tear agent and allowed to practice masking and unmasking. This initiation was completed by more than 2000 men each day. It is not clear how many soldiers were possibly sickened or died as a result of this. “training” before deployment.

Advanced training required that there be at least three surprise gas attacks per day “practice drills.” To verify the alertness of sentries, and to rectify the “carelessness of leaving their masks out of reach,” Attacks were often launched at night when troops were asleep. These drills were used to teach troops how to put on a mask when under attack, and to familiarize them with the difficulties of firing a weapon while wearing a mask. Men were subject to random gas attacks during night marches. “teach them how to overcome confusion.” Officers also ordered men to walk through gas-sprayed clouds from open cylinders. “instill confidence in their training and equipment.”

Soldiers were moved between places in cramped, dangerous conditions. Three men were squeezed into double-sized seats on trains. In the sleeping cars, one person slept in an upper bunk, while two others slept in the lower. The cramped quarters of the naval recruits were even worse.

What did intense physical training, poor quality food, chemical exposures and sleep deprivation do to their immune system?

The Spanish Flu of 1918–1919

On August 27, 1918, was the first instance of what was known as “the flu” This took place in Boston at Navy’s a>=”https://www.massmoments.org/moment-details/flu-epidemic-begins-in-boston.html”>Commonwealth Pier. In two weeks, 2 000 First Naval District officers were ill. The flu-like illness, which was similar to influenza, had spread from navy bases in Louisiana and San Francisco to army camps across the country by the end of September.

While most of the men were suffering from fever, cough, and aches, 10 to 20 percent had symptoms that often proved fatal—high fever, chills, vomiting, delirium, and blood spurting from the nose, eyes, and ears. Patients who died within 48-hours of contracting the disease were autopsied and found that their lungs had collapsed when they were placed in water.

Europe paid little attention to the spread of influenza-like illnesses. The continent’s urban dwellings were filthy, crowded and poorly ventilated. Since centuries, Europeans have lived with deadly epidemics. For generations, most people had witnessed or heard of the deaths caused by infectious epidemics. Discovering that there was an additional infectious disease “sweeping the world” This had minimal effect on those who had been through centuries of plagues, choleras, yellow fevers, and typhoid, as well as many years of chemical war.

I had the chance to look at what may have been one the last printed copies of The Stars and Stripes newspaper in 2006. It was published by the United States government as a military newspaper by men from the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF), a United States Army service. Before entering the war theater, many of its writers were career journalists. Published exclusively in France during its 17-month run—from February 8, 1918, to June 13, 1919—it documented the experience of American soldiers during wartime.

The pages were very fragile and I had to use my yardstick to turn them. This remarkable historical document was fascinating and I spent hours looking through it. I found very few articles regarding a global pandemic that was spreading around the world in 1918–1919.

What is the Death of a Virus? Not so fast

Many estimates have been made about the actual number of people who died due to the accident. “Spanish Flu” pandemic. The U.S. military died at 650,000, while the Russians lost 450,000, the Russians lost at 450,000 and the Italians lost 375,000. British deaths were reported at 228,000. According to military records, soldiers in France were already dying from this disease as early as 1916. Many soldiers died soon after returning from the front lines.

Sweeping influenza-like illness played a significant part in overall mortality towards the end of the offensives. It even affected the outcome of significant battles. The impact on military-age soldiers was so severe that the American draft was halted in October 1918. The Spanish Flu was identified as the cause of death in the evaluation of the bodies of deceased people. [REF: “History of Epidemics and Plagues“]

Do you find this familiar? These people died of COVID in hospitals over the past two-three years, regardless of whether they were suffering from medical malpractice or a gunshot wound.

Although the Leavenworth Papers do not specifically list Fort Riley as a gas training camp, it is a strong possibility that enlisted men participated in gas training exercises before arriving at Fort Riley—the location cited to be the start of the 1918 influenza pandemic.

As the “influenza” When the outbreak started, chemical-laden, malnourished and exhausted military personnel were sent to Europe and other parts. They died from the aggressive influenza virus. Oder were they poisoned?

It was years before the first report was made. “flu” In the Kansas outbreak, thousands of tons were of explosives used to release millions of pounds worth of toxic liquids as well as poisonous gases into Europe’s air. These suspended chemicals could have traveled the world, potentially contaminating civilians all over the globe and increasing their chance of contracting mild influenza.

It’s not impossible to imagine phosgene and mustard gas and other chemicals leaking into the environment after three years of daily explosions causing health problems thousands miles away from their source.

In Antarctica’s deep ice, there was a hidden stash of pollen. After several large windstorms, dust from China was discovered in the United States. The air was halfway around the globe when particulates and smoke from large fires in Indonesia were detected. Satellite instruments revealed that sulfur dioxide, which was released at the time of Mt. Pinatubo, who circumnavigated Earth in three weeks in 1991, found that sulfur dioxide released during the eruption of Mt. [REF: Sparks, et. al. “Super-eruptions: global effects and future threats,” The Geological Society of London, June 2005, (pdf)]

All gone in a flash

The war was over quickly. The Germans requested a ceasefire in October 3. On November 11, 1918, the armistice was signed. Surprisingly, after only a few short months, the flu-like epidemic started, the outbreaks had stopped by December 1918. “mysteriously” disappeared.

Can there be any doubt that thousands of tons of war chemicals—chlorine gas, phosgene, mustard gas, etc.—could have resulted in a massive cytokine storm with a fatal outcome? Historical records show that even people who have not experienced symptoms can be treated. “struck suddenly and rendered too feeble to walk within hours.” Many would die that day. Cyanosis is a sign of severe illness. It is caused by the rapid accumulation of fluids and blood in the lungs. Doctors recognized this as a sign of the illness. A patient with cyanosis would develop a lavender-gray appearance over their face and ears. This is due to inflamed lung cells.

Is that a flu-like feeling?

To establish the link between future illnesses and environmental chemicals, it would only take moderate research. We don’t need the WHO Preparedness Treaty. And we don’t need any useless jabs that add chemicals to the body.

Stop believing the lies they tell us and try to remain chemical-free.
