It did exist the so-called "Bubonic Plague" in the middle ages?


Black Death - Wikipedia
Bubonic plague - Wikipedia

Historically we have been told so. Main timeline comes along 14th century, this was to be the original context of (under my point of view),a fabricated hoax, that was repeated several times next centuries. The main reason I see is not in contemporary times of those events, but after "illumination" (french illustration movement or encyclopedia, rewritting his-tory), a reason to hide weather knowledge and consequences of that to the common people.

If you research this subject properly you'll find an extraordinary correlation between "plague" outbursts and famine events.

List of famines - Wikipedia

1328–1330 Famine in Italy, Spain and Ireland Europe
1330–1333 Famine France
1333–1337 China
1339–1340 Famine in Italy, Spain and Ireland Europe
1344–1345 Famine in India, India
1346–1347 Famine in France, Italy and Spain Europe <<<<< GREAT FAMINE, BLACK PLAGUE OUTBURST
1349–1351 Famine France <<<<<<<<<<<<<
1351 Famine England <<<<<<<<<<<<<
1358–1360 Famine France
1369 Famine England
1371 Famine France
1374–1375 Famine in France, Italy and Spain Europe
1374–1375 Famine Egypt

The "original outburst" was due to a ship coming to Genova (Italy) from "BLACK SEA" (aham, aham...). We have several bad harvests not only in Europe, but silk road trading failures. And by the same time we have the richest granary of Alexandria out of the christian european control (mameluks, tartaria, did you notice correlation
between lukemoryie and mameluke?).

Alexandria - Wikipedia


"The 13th-century Mongol conquest of China caused a decline in farming and trading. However, economic recovery had been observed at the beginning of the fourteenth century. In the 1330s, a large number of natural disasters and plagues led to widespread famine, starting in 1331, with a deadly plague arriving soon after.[14] Epidemics that may have included plague killed an estimated 25 million Chinese and other Asians during the fifteen years before it reached Constantinople in 1347."

Well, as you see prior and immediately before "the outburst" in Europe, we have famines, war conflicts (mogol or tartars or whatever you wanted to name it, as it'seasy to blame always in the same direction), we have a ship coming from "BLACK SEA" to spread the "BLACK PLAGUE" in Europe. We have, then, the silk road and all the benefits for the european traders (Genoa, Sicily, Venice), in risk to be lost. We have famines what increases pirates in the mediterranean, we have either in continental europe famines and people usually have the bad habit to steal for food instead of dying.

So who knows if these clever people thought about this story in order to protect the merchant ships and food trading.
Genoa came first, but Venice (nest of the black nobility), most sophisticated people in Europe then (people related to jews, jesuits, templars, financial control system -Il Moro Di Venezia- Shakespeare), and who later will move to another maritime commercial cities in the north (Amsterdam, Antwerp, London), came along with this a bit
after.

It's needed to point a few questions about what the disease was, as it hasn't been ever clarified the symptoms and how the plague was or wasn't really contagious. The idea of a contagious disease it's an hypothesys set as official as far as late 19th century, but as I have shown you (history it's writen and rewriten from time to time, Bizantine Empire as Fomenko told, is a term born in 19th century either), if you see the documentary above, it has been largely explained and shown it has anything to do with indian and chinese late 19th century bubonic disease compared to "black death" of middle ages. No contagious link, no rats, different symptoms in many cases, so it's clear if you make a decent research on this, the legend of the europe middle ages black plague has a lot of weak and unexplained flaws.

The main health issue symptome was described as "bubonic" is a little swollen and inflamed ball, usually backward in the neck, or under axillas. In fact these inflamated balls are usually placed in the inguinal in site of axillas.
There are some paintings of Saint Roch (showing these buboes), saint patreon of the black plague damned.

A Medieval Painting Depicts the Chilling Image of a Worm Eating Its Way Out of the Body of a French Saint

This is important because modern theory of "black plague" researched on the indian case (late 19th century) shows these buboes in the inguinal side, and these paintings are the only in the renaissance times showing the same symptoms. On the contrary, taking Bocaccio and another sources, the main traditional symptoms on the black death comes to sores. pustules and skin ulcers in the whole body.


Related to previous asian plague in the 1330-1340s we have to point astronomical events (comets), sometimes comets will bring you a pestilent big gaseous clouds (that can be there for days), with very high toxic gases and it's been historically reported the link between comets, bad omens and children mortality (remember the biblical story of Herodes and the killing of innocents, or killing of all of the children under 2 years age old).



Going back to symptoms, let me show you some pictures catalogued as "black death". Remember I told you the real history behind it's the times of solar minimum, very bad harvests, combined to poor importation of food (due to wars or any other political problems), which led europe to the "Black Plague" (by the other hand an ingenious
way to keep people out of the food sources, and to control the population's territorial movements).

This is what historically we have been told graphically about "black plague".

As I referred on other posts 14th century Greenland was abandoned (weather climatic changes involving colder weather in Europe as Alaska ice plate was being moved to Greenland).

Little Ice Age - Wikipedia

1250 for when Atlantic pack ice began to grow
1275 to 1300 based on the radiocarbon dating of plants killed by glaciation
1300 for when warm summers stopped being dependable in Northern Europe
1315 for the rains and Great Famine of 1315–1317

There again, remember we have several names in the mixing of this legend, because bubonic plague, should be in fact different to black death, sores in the whole body or even leprousy.

"Contemporary accounts of the plague are often varied or imprecise. The most commonly noted symptom was the appearance of buboes (or gavocciolos) in the groin, the neck and armpits, which oozed pus and bled when opened.

Boccaccio's description:

In men and women alike it first betrayed itself by the emergence of certain tumours in the groin or armpits, some of which grew as large as a common apple, others as an egg...From the two said parts of the body this deadly gavocciolo soon began to propagate and spread itself in all directions indifferently; after which the form of the malady began to change, black spots or livid making their appearance in many cases on the arm or the thigh or elsewhere, now few and large, now minute and numerous. As the gavocciolo had been and still was an infallible token of approaching death, such also were these spots on whomsoever they showed themselves.

The only medical detail that is questionable in Boccaccio's description is that the gavocciolo was an 'infallible token of approaching death', as, if the buboe discharges, recovery is possible."


You can see all these images, and nowadays diseases related mainly to lack of certain vitamins (lack of fruits and vegetables as it happens when you have cold weather and bad harvests), but in general lack of vitamins of what we suppose very bad diet in most of the people in the europe of 14th century.

Pellagra - Wikipedia










Beriberi. Causes, symptoms, treatment Beriberi






Leprosy - Wikipedia



You see pelagra effects and the "Black Death" in the superstitious conscience of europeans of that age. You see beriberi, and some other skin diseases that are simply the alarm the body shows you to remind you to get a better diet.

"Renewed religious fervour and fanaticism bloomed in the wake of the Black Death. Some Europeans targeted "various groups such as Jews, friars, foreigners, beggars, pilgrims",[63] lepers,[63][64] and Romani, thinking that they were to blame for the crisis. Lepers, and other individuals with skin diseases such as acne or psoriasis, were singled out and exterminated throughout Europe."


The documentary linked above it's really good, showing a lot of explanations on the contradictions on this contro-versial history called "Black Plague", for instance there aren't any kind of rodents in northern areas compatible to explain the contagious theory. I tell you, all this was about a very clever people controlling the food trading.

As well for the religious institutions had a value of people's control not only through food, but obviously as it happens nowadays controlling the conciousness and beliefs, reinforcing some dogmas about collective behaviour and divine punishment.

Before I was banned, and the older site SH.org was "dissappeared". Strangely this thread was vanished either. Just in the beginning of this PLANDEMIC crap. I guess someone disliked so much, as the thread suggested "fake pandemics" in order to "food control".

Of course, restricting people's movements. Right !!!.
 
I don't doubt your theory.

And I have a question about the massive amount of works of art depicting this plague, I speak of paintings, prints, sculptures ... on the other hand, it seems that there is no popular festival in Europe that has preserved the memory of such a dramatic event.

So there is something that does not add up to all this. The amount of "iconography" of Pest is not followed by the same amount of popular festivals that recall the event. This is an impossibility.

So the pictorial pieces about the "fact", Black Death, may be more late propaganda, or even of the time. "See in this illustration what is happening in Hamburg". It would be something like TV / Internet today. After all who would travel to a city plagued by an illness to check?

No festivals but some hymns or songs, not really to celebrate, a bit macabre sense of humour, like the well known SONO IO LA MORTE.


(Sono Io LA MORTE - e porto CORONA (virus)).-DANCE MACABRE

Sono io la morte e porto corona. Io son di tutti voi signora e padrona
E così sono crudele, così forte sono e dura, Che non mi fermeranno le tue mura

Sono io la morte e porto corona, Io son di tutti voi signora e padrona
E davanti alla mia falce il capo tu dovrai chinare, E dell 'oscura morte al passo andare

Sei l'ospite d'onore del ballo che per te suoniamo, Posa la falce e danza tondo a tondo
Il giro di una danza e poi un altro ancora, E tu del tempo non sei più signora

Maybe one of the reasons to name this historical hoax as BLACK PLAGUE it's related not only to climate changes and food shortage, but the main reason BLACK CLOUDS, pestilent clouds (sulffuric gases) coming from Volcanic activity (Island?)

Written records from the 14th century provide accounts of severe weather in the period from 1314 to 1317, which led in turn to crop failure and famine. This episode of failed harvests and its consequences is known as “The Great Famine”. Notwithstanding these ecological calamities, the population of northern Europe was at an all time high by the second quarter of the 14th century. However, the arrival of the Black Death, in Europe in 1347 pushed the European population into a century-long demographic decline and caused long-term changes in economy and society.

Until recently it is believed that the Black Death was riding on the back of expanding trade between Europe and Asia in the 13th and 14th centuries. This would have brought populations into contact that had been isolated before and were vulnerable to new disease. But new research has suggested that the causes of the Black Death are more complicated and might be related to volcanism and
the resulting atmospheric upheavals.

Jews blamed for the Black Plague


..................................Medieval-Jewish-moneylenders.jpg

You see "black waters" as ashes falls from the sky as a divine punishment, poisoning waters and ruining crops.

By fall 1348 a rumor passed around Europe that members of the Jewish faith had an international conspiracy to poison Christians. Amadeus VI, Count of Savoy, ordered a number of Jews to be arrested and tortured to confess to anything their inquisitors suggested. These Jews living on Lake Geneva incriminated other Jews in order to end their torture. These accounts and records of confessions were sent to numerous towns in Switzerland and down the Rhine River into Germany. As a result of these
circulating documents, thousands of Jews in at least two hundred towns and hamlets were butchered and burnt to death. After these accounts had happened Christian hatred of Jews declined and did not play an important German life role until the 17th century.


During the time of the Black Death, it was believed that Jews had created the plague. The Jews had poisoned the water supply in order to “punish” Christians. Around this time the major religious change from various religions (such as paganism) to Christianity was taking place. The Jews were the perfect scapegoat during this time because of the Christians hatred toward members of the
Jewish faith. People of the Jewish religion were wealthier than most Christians. Jews were the Christians economic competitors, and many were indebted to the Jews with loans. It was not only the fear of the plague and religious bigotry but also economic resentment that fueled the hate the Christians harbored against the Jews. This fueled the Christians extermination of the Jews
as well as the plague wiping them out. But obviously, Jews were also dying from the pestilence, proving it was not the Jews causing the plague. The primary account of Agimet of Geneva, Châtel on October 20th, 1348 shows a look at the idea of Jews poisoning the wells.

In the German stolenhistory forum I had recently posted some info on Black Plague. Perhaps also here quite interesting:

There is not only serious evidence that the Black Death and the bubonic plague are two completely different phenomena, but also that rats or fleas could not have been responsible for the spread. The mass deaths obviously had quite different causes:

I just finished reading this one and all I can say is: Wow! This was an intense book! Not a long one, either - just 208 pages including appendices. It's tight and economical with no wasted words or idle rambling around. Every example and temporary diversion is crucial to the central argument which is - brace yourself for this one - Mike Baillie (yeah, a real scientist and not a crackpot), is saying that the Black Death, one of the most deadly pandemics in human history, said to have killed possibly two thirds of the entire population of Europe, not to mention millions all over the planet, probably wasn't Bubonic Plague but was rather Death By Comet(s)!
Oh yeah! That's far out, isn't it?
Maybe not. Baillie has the scientific evidence to support his theory and his evidence actually supports - and is supported by - what the people of the time were saying: earthquakes, comets, rains of death and fire, corrupted atmosphere, and death on a scale that is almost unimaginable. Most people nowadays are not really aware of what happened just 660 years ago. (Hmmm... the inquiring mind immediately wonders what might happen when we hit 666 years after?! That would be 2012...)
The following are some of the arguments that contradict the official theory, a disease spread by rats and fleas:

Samuel K. Cohn, quoted extensively by Baillie also rebutted the theory (and that's really all it is, and a weak theory at that!) that the Black Death was bubonic plague. In the Encyclopedia of Population, he points to five major weaknesses in this theory:
  • very different transmission speeds - the Black Death was reported to have spread 385 km in 91 days in 664, compared to 12-15 km a year for the modern Bubonic Plague, which has the assistance of trains and cars
  • difficulties with the attempt to explain the rapid spread of the Black Death by arguing that it was spread by the rare pneumonic form of the disease - in fact this form killed less than 0.3% of the infected population in its worst outbreak in Manchuria in 1911
  • different seasonality - the modern plague can only be sustained at temperatures between 50 and 78 °F (10 and 26 °C) and requires high humidity, while the Black Death occurred even in Norway in the middle of the winter and in the Mediterranean in the middle of hot dry summers
  • very different death rates - in several places (including Florence in 1348) over 75% of the population appears to have died; in contrast the highest mortality for the modern Bubonic Plague was 3% in Mumbai in 1903
  • the cycles and trends of infection were very different between the diseases - humans did not develop resistance to the modern disease, but resistance to the Black Death rose sharply, so that eventually it became mainly a childhood disease
After extensive research, Baillie comes to the conclusion that a series of impacts must have led to this disaster. Whether the black death was caused by comets, however, I would like to leave open at this point. Fact is probably that it came to atmospheric explosions and different disasters, with which humans struggled extensively:

Baillie takes us through the science with hard numbers and graphs and shows us how these things were spoken about plainly by those who experienced the Black Death but, for some reason, modern historians all think these remarks about rains of fire and death and air that could kill were all just metaphors for a horrible disease. In the end, it is the science that must win on this one because totally independent workers studying comets, tsunami, carbon dioxide, ice cores and tree rings all observe in their data something very strange happening globally around the time that the Black Death decimated the human population of the Earth.

Illustration from 1557, which is supposed to show a comet, but looks more like a pointed wooden beam

If there was a connection between flying objects and the Black Death, we should also consider that many of these unusual objects were called "comets" in ancient records.

7.jpg
Quite unusual phenomena were reported in Europe's skies during the period when the plague was rampant in Europe. Such as these strange spherical bodies observed over Basel (1566, Switzerland) in July and early August. Samuel Coccius, an eyewitness, described them as large black spheres racing toward the sun and turning on each other as if they were fighting.

The following quotes are from the book "The Black Death. A Chronicle of the Plague" by Johannes Nohl:

"After a beautiful rainbow and a fiery beam were seen hovering over St. Stephanie Kirch in the sun and moon, this was followed by a violent death of people and livestock in Austria, Swabia, Augsburg, Württemberg, Nuremberg and other places."

Shortly after the visit of the strange men, a great plague epidemic broke out in Brandenburg:

"In the county of Mark, in the year 1559, ghastly men appeared, of whom 15 had been seen at first, but then only 12. The foremost had small heads, the others terrible faces and long scythes with which they struck the oats, so that one heard the rustling from afar, but the oats remained standing."

Hungary:

"So in the year of Christ 1571 in Cremmnitz in the Hungarian mountain towns on Ascension Day in the evening with dismay and horror has let itself be seen; because on the mountain so many black horsemen were on the way that one already believed that the Turks wanted to do a secret invasion, which disappeared however soon again, and thereupon a grim plague broke out in said area."

Various reports, including many from Germany, speak of a dense, foul-smelling fog that accompanied the plague. Was there possibly a connection between these strange beings and celestial bodies? In any case, the first reports of the plague came from the East. They also contained descriptions of meteors and comets, which left harmful gases behind them, making the land infertile and trees withered...

8.jpg
This illustration is said to have originated in Cologne in 1508.

Here, according to the artist's imagination, one of these "demons" is depicted aiming his deadly weapon at the window of a house. In any case, it is reported from the plague years that mysterious creatures or "demons" came to the villages and towns. With their instruments, which people mistook for scythes or swords, they swept in front of or knocked on people's doors whereupon they fell ill immediately afterwards.

It is said that the Black Death (1346-1353) spared Milan, no one knows exactly why. But Milan was the principal victim of the Great Plague of Milan (1629-1631 - 1629–1631 Italian plague - Wikipedia), which spared Europe and most of Italy.
That was the time of the Thirty Years' War (Thirty Years' War - Wikipedia), during which it is stated that "Estimates of total military and civilian deaths range from 4.5 to 8 million, mostly from disease or starvation. In some areas of Germany, it has been suggested that up to 60% of the population died."
In 1631 Vesuvius erupted and Pompeii was lost...
About the name "Black Death", in 1908, Gasquet claimed that use of the name atra mors for the 14th-century epidemic first appeared in a 1631 book on Danish history by J. I. Pontanus: "Commonly and from its effects, they called it the black death" (Vulgo & ab effectu atram mortem vocitabant). (Black Death - Wikipedia).

In the old forum I wrote about the wrong dating of a well-known medieval book, the Nuremberg Chronicles:

Basically all works from before ca 1650 have been cleansed by the Church's rewriting effort. This all happened AFTER the keepers of the true history were already long dead (witches, healers, heretics, gnostics, etc.)

That explains the maize and the Castell Sant Angelo. Everyone makes mistakes, so we have some smoking guns here.

Other problems with the dating of the Nuremberg Chronicles:

- author unknown
- original book comes without author or dates, all attributions are guess work
- almost no original sources, some supposed sources are nowhere to be found in the archives
- slight disagreement within Academia whether the work is truly medieval, since some contents appear to be influenced by humanism
- book templates only first officially mentioned in 1742 (state library archives)
- manuscript was supposedely kept by the Nuremberg monastery after 1493
- book wasn't bound in "Koberger's book binder shop" but in the Augustinian monastery in Nuremberg (who was this Adrian Wilson with his sloppy writing about the Chronicles?)
- whover printed it lost large sums of money, the book was extremely high quality and almost no one bought it, at the same time the author was apparently so humble as to not include his name

Source for further study: Die Produktion der Schedelschen Weltchronik in Nürnberg

Then we have the official timeframe for the Black Death - from around 1350 to 1750, 400 years. Suspiciously long.

What if the Black Death in reality first appeared only during the times of the Thirty-Years war between 1618 and 1648, or even later?

Many things in our history are artificially back-dated and stretched over hundreds of years. The last 200 years show us that epidemics have a relatively short life-span, due to changes in our societies react to threats. For example, medicine is quick to come up with solutions (even if the solutions often create other problems).

Now this is interesting. Perhaps those black clouds were releases of the disease.

The grim reaper and Pesta the Norwegian version:

Not always holding a scythe.
They were depicted as holding a scythe but also shown holding a dart, crossbow or some other weapon.
Skeleton mask.
Mask to filter air - like the plague doctors had bird masks.​
Spreading the disease into that household.
The Norwegian version, Pesta, was seen sweeping / raking at front doors.​

Norwegian Version- Pesta
The dreaded creature travelled from community to community, with a broomstick and a rake. If you came upon her with her rake, then you knew that she would spare some of your people. But when Pesta started sweeping with her broomstick, then there was no point in running, because no soul would be alive by the time she had finished.
