Was The "Spanish Flu" Epidemic Man-made? (Flashback)

flu.jpg

By Henry Makow Ph.D.


In 1948 Heinrich Mueller, the former head of the Gestapo, told his CIA
Interrogator that the most devastating plague in human history was man-
made.

He was referring to the influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 that infected
20% of the world's population and killed between 60 and 100 million
people. This is roughly three times as many as were killed and wounded
in World War One, and is comparable to WWII losses, yet this modern
plague has slipped down the memory hole.

Mueller said the flu started as a US army bacteriological warfare weapon
that somehow infected US army ranks at Camp Riley KS in March 1918, and
spread around the world. He says that it "got out of control" but we
cannot discount the horrible possibility that the "Spanish Flu" was a
deliberate elite depopulation measure, and that it could be used again.
Researchers have found connections between it and the "Bird Flu."

There was nothing "Spanish" about this flu. According to Wikipedia: "In
the U.S., about 28% of the population suffered, and 500,000 to 675,000
died. In Britain 200,000 died; in France more than 400,000. Entire
villages perished in Alaska and southern Africa. In Australia an
estimated 10,000 people died and in the Fiji Islands, 14% of the
population died during only two weeks, and in Western Samoa 22%. An
estimated 17 million died in India, about 5% of India's population at
the time. In the Indian Army, almost 22% of troops who caught the
disease died of it."

"Indeed, symptoms in 1918 were so unusual that initially influenza was
misdiagnosed as dengue, cholera, or typhoid. One observer wrote, "One of
the most striking of the complications was hemorrhage from mucous
membranes, especially from the nose, stomach, and intestine. Bleeding
from the ears and petechial hemorrhages in the skin also occurred.
...Another unusual feature of this pandemic was that it mostly killed
young adults, with 99% of pandemic influenza deaths occurring in people
under 65 and more than half in young adults 20 to 40 years old. This is
unusual since influenza is normally most deadly to the very young (under
age 2) and the very old (over age 70). "


MUELLER'S SOURCE

At a 1944 Nazi bacteriological warfare conference in Berlin, General
Walter Schreiber, Chief of the Medical Corps of the German Army told
Mueller that he had spent two months in the US in 1927 conferring with
his counterparts. They told him that the "so-called double blow virus"
(i.e. Spanish Flu) was developed and used during the 1914 war.

"But," according to Mueller, "it got out of control and instead of
killing the Germans who had surrendered by then, it turned back on you,
and nearly everybody else." ("Gestapo Chief: The 1948 CIA Interrogation
of Heinrich Mueller" Vol. 2 by Gregory Douglas, p. 106) Actually the
Armistice took place Aug 11, 1918.

The interrogator, James Kronthal, the CIA Bern Station Chief asked
Mueller to explain "double blow virus." It reminds me of AIDS.

Mueller: "I am not a doctor, you understand, but the 'double-blow'
referred to a virus, or actually a pair of them that worked like a prize
fighter. The first blow attacked the immune system and made the victim
susceptible, fatally so, to the second blow which was a form of
pneumonia...[Schreiber told me] a British scientist actually developed
it...Now you see why such things are insanity. These things can alter
themselves and what starts out as a limited thing can change into
something really terrible."

The subject of the Spanish Flu arose in the context of a discussion of
typhus.
The Nazis deliberately introduced typhus into Russian POW camps and,
along with starvation, killed about three million men. The typhus spread
to Auschwitz and other concentration camps with Russian and Polish POWS.

In the context of the Cold War, Mueller says: "If Stalin invades
Europe...a little disease here and there would wipe out Stalin's hoards
and leave everything intact. Besides, a small bottle of germs is so much
cheaper than an atom bomb, isn't it? Why you could hold more soldiers in
your hand than Stalin could possibly command and you don't have to feed
them clothes them or supply them with munitions. On the other hand, the
threat of war...does wonders... for the economy." (108)

Is Mueller credible? In my opinion he is. Gregory Douglas apparently is
a pseudonym for his nephew with whom he left his papers. Normally a hoax
would not run to thousands of pages. The Interrogation is 800 pages. The
Memoirs are 250 pages. The microfilmed Archive apparently covers 850,000
pages. Finally, the material I have read is incredibly well informed,
consistent and full of plausible revelations .

CONCLUSION

The "Elite" cult has made no secret of its desire to decrease the world
population. (See Alan Stang, Population Extermination: How Will it be
Done? )

It's possible that World War One was a disappointment to the Elite in
terms of the numbers killed. Whether the "Spanish Flu" was deliberate or
not, we cannot say. But apparently the US Army has a record of
experimenting with drugs/chemicals/bacteria on unwary soldiers. Did such
an experiment get "out of control" at Fort Riley?

So far the Bird Flu has only killed 160 people since 2003. Is it a
harbinger of something more deadly? Hopefully it isn't but we should be
mindful of the shocking precedent set by the 1918 Influenza Pandemic.

David S, MD said (December 14, 2006):

Your article claiming Spanish Flu was manmade seems implausible to me
for the following reasons:

The very existance of viruses as separate entities from bacteria wasn't
proven until 1898.

The first human virus wasn't identified until 1901.

Viruses could not be seen until the 1940s.

The physical structure of DNA was not understood until the 1960s.

Creation of a new viral strain about 15 years after the discovery of
viruses as an entity, and many years before each of the subsequent
critical events identified above, isn't impossible. But it would be
implausible in the extreme, IMHO.

Sir, I love/hate your site. There is so much to to be learned from it
and yhat I enjoy. I send others to visit it. I just wish the news wasn't
so dark, but that's life. I do not visit as much as I want to but when I

Arn,

Good to hear from you. Remember knowledge is power. Even if you feel
powerless to change external things, you can steer your own course in a
new direction.

I don't doubt it for a minute... Actually, I think most of our disease
are man-made these days. I have worked as a medical transcriptionist for
the last seven years, and I can tell you for an absolute fact that the
pharmaceutical companies create most of the diseases... take one for one
thing, and bam, you have three more problems pop up. I kept noticing a
trend; either a patient is healthy and on no meds or is sickly and on a
long list. Oncology (cancer medicine) was the WORST, and I was relieved
to wash the blood off of my hands from that account after only one year.
Talk about hell on earth!

All of this probably won't do any good for your article, but on a more
personal level -- just because the bird flu & disease topic came up --
wanted to pass onto you some info about Olive Leaf Extract. My husband &
I have been taking it for maybe 6-8 months now and I have to say that we
have not been sick, not even a cold or flu, since we started taking it.
I didn't really look into it that much, just took a friend's advice and
started taking it, but really the results have been quite amazing. IF
those ever-elusive "powers that be" are up to something, why not prepare
early? A little "preventive medicine?"

BIRD FLU IS FOR THE BIRDS said (December 5, 2006):

Hello, This was not a FLU, it was made man by the doctors who were
bored. Only people who got the vaccines got sick, they had to make up
a name for it so they named it the Spanish Flu. Eleanor McBean was a
young girl at the time, I suggest that you put her name in your search
and she wrote a few books about it. The scientists are PAID by the GOV
to lie and say it was the bird flu, The Bird flu is a hoax and it can
not be transmitted to people, it is in the bird population like
chickens.

THE WHO the world health organization is so phony and work with the gov
to say all this lies that it can spread. I suggest that
you go to http://www.nomorefakenews.com click on and scroll down to
searchable archives, and look for this 2005-10-10 It will Jon
tells about the fake bird flu and then go to 2005-10-13 This tells you
more how the chicken are raised in dirty conditions, and are
subjected to vaccine all the time, this weakens their IMMUNE SYSTEM....
they eventually die from all the vaccines they get. No one
person has ever died from bird blu, because it is only in the chicken
family. NOT one document is out there, sure they are going to lie that
someone has these people were sick prior with upper respiratory or some
other illness. But to make it sound that it can transfer to people
THEY LIE that these people died from bird flu... this is all about
propaganda. I suggest that you all read this one written by a doctor
who is not afraid to tell the truth and for goodness sake sent this
message to others. THE GOV will lie about anything to make money from
that bloody toxic chemical poisoned TAMIFLU who knows what aids virsu is
packed in there and vaccines are loaded with toxic chemicals that
eroded the myelin shealth causes brain injuries, seizures, destroys the
central nervous system. ANd they said if you get sick from the TAMIFLU
SHOT too bad they cant help you, HINT HINT it tells you already how
toxic they are, don t be a stupid fool, THEY LIE the gov LIES all
the time and yes, they think we are all so stupid. THIS IS ALL ABOUT
CRAP AND PROPOGRANDA LIES and LIES believe their bloody lies???
http://www.goodnewsaboutgod.com/studies/birdflu.htm this is very long
and it shows you how phony the bird flu is going to people, WAKE UP
AMERICA THIS BIRD FLU IS JUST FOR THE BIRDS

Well done sir.

I am curious as to why you did not raise the rhetorically pregnant
question ... "And exactly why did certain governments dig up dead bodies
and recreate the Spanish Flu?"

I thought I would add a bit to your article on the Spanish Flu of 1918.

In Pasteur Plagiarist Impostor! ? The Germ Theory Exploded!, R.B.
Pearson states on page 85; [Quoting]

?In the pamphlets ?Germ Mutation? and ?Immunity, Artificial vs. Natural?
I give some important evidence indicating that the 1918 influenza
epidemic was caused by mutation in vaccines used to ?prevent? typhoid in
the armies in Europe.
?When they inoculated against typhoid, they soon found that they had a
PARA-typhoid on their hands, and the percentage of paratyphoid in those
inoculated WAS IDENTICAL TO THE SECOND DECIMAL PLACE, with the
percentage of TYPHOID in those NOT inoculated.(60)
?And when they gave two ?shots,? one for each of these, they discovered
a second paratyphoid, so to be scientific, they called them ?A? and ?B?.
?And, as ?scientists? must always be ?scientific,? they then gave the
boys three ?shots?, one for each of the above diseases, whereupon they
found a fourth ?disease??INFLUENZA?and the world?s highest recorded
death rate in that! The Surgeon General of the A.E.F. said of this ?
Influenza?:
?The ordinary clinical picture of typhoid paratyphoid is very frequently
profoundly modified in vaccinated individuals? . . . ?intestinal types
of supposed influenza should always be considered as possible typhoid
until proven otherwise.? . . . ?vaccination is a partial protection only
and must be reinforced by sanitary measures.?(61)" [End Quoting]

Thank you for all your work Mr.Makow.

Jean from Hungary said (December 5, 2006):

Once again you pointed out something real big. We know that the NWO
"elites" are openly supporting a massive depopulation agenda and, thus,
something is certainly being cooked on that purpose. Everybody fears
that it could be the "bird flu" and is surprised that it did not "work"
until today. Personally, I`m afraid the next "Spanish flu" virus is
ready to be unleashed but wasn`t yet.

Could it be that the "bird flu" is only a preparatory phase in that it
is going to justify massive vaccinations which would protect or, on the
contrary, sensibilise selected populations to a still secret and
unleashed WMD virus? Such a selective targeting could be necessary
considering that the physically deficient urbanised western populations`
immune system is certainly weaker than that of the Arab or Asian
populations whom the global "elites" want probably to get rid of in
particular.

This didn`t appear in the international medias but, a few months ago,
the current Hungarian government was bragging about funding a miracle
vaccine against the "bird flu ". Some of the ministers of this
government have even "tested" it in front of the TV cameras (?!).

Strangely, this miracle vaccine never appeared on the international
market and went unnoticed by the World Health Organisation. Even
stranger is that, when some journalists asked the government about the
destiny of this miracle vaccine likely to save mankind from a "bird
flu" plague, they were answered that it was not the business of the
government to bring it to the populations and that of an obscure private
company was charged to sell it at the best price and... that an Iraqi
billionaire bought it already for use in the Middle East. Sure, I`m a
conspiracy nut...

PS ...And do not forget the depleted uranium everlasting dust clouds
offered to the Middle East in the "anti-terrorist" Gulf war packages.
Many million Arab and Iranian people will probably die of it in the
coming years. Many Israeli people too, of course, since the zionist wall
cannot filtrate the DU dust... Are the Israelis a sacrificial lamb to
the NWO? I mean those many who are too poor to ever leave the region.

Jennifer said (December 4, 2006):

Look up the herb "Boneset", it was used by locals to survive the Spanish
Flu. I tell people to go buy Boneset, St.John'sWort and Goldenseal at a
reliable health food store,which will protect them from the man-made
bird flu shortly coming to devastate most of mankinds' indigenoius/poor
people world-wide. I'm Shawnee, many of us know what's to come.

Bob said (December 4, 2006):

Superb essay, Henry. A whole book could be written about elite
depopulation measures, perhaps by you. Even the deliberate delay in
responding to the New Orleans Katrina calamity serves as an example.
It's a bad time to be a "useless eater".

The most outrageous case, I believe, was the development of the AIDs
virus, as endorsed by Richard Nixon, at Fort Deitrick, Maryland. While
much material on this is to be found, considerable effort is necessary.
Surely, the elites found the widespread deaths of black Africans to be a
bonus.

Jocelyn said (December 3, 2006):

I think that Heinrich Mueller is very credible, and accurately reported
what he had heard at the 1944 conference. But I do not think that his
source, General Schreiber, is credible. First of all, the context of the
comment: it was made at a bacterial warfare conference. The Nazis had
every reason to lie, if that might help to convince anyone in the room
who might be squeamish about what they themselves were doing. Secondly,
Schreiber?s description of the ?double blow? was all wrong. He says the
first blow attacked the immune system. In actual fact, it was people
with STRONG, not weak immune systems, who died of the Spanish Flu.
Thirdly, Schreiber says that a British scientist developed that flu. So
how did the Flu get out of control in the US? Here I am looking at
motive and opportunity. The United States was not in WW1 until 1917.
Germany, Britain and the rest of the combatants had been at war since
1914. If the British had developed the Flu as a weapon, it makes more
sense that they would have tested it in Canada or France, because if
they killed a few colonials or Frenchmen, so what? I can?t see the
British taking the chance of offending the Americans.

My feeling about Spanish Flu as a weapon of war, is that it was most
likely a natural flu, and if used as a weapon, it was AFTER it had
become epidemic, to kill selected high-level enemy targets. If the
British used it, it?s too bad they didn?t get the Kaiser with it. I
think it?s more likely that the Germans themselves used it. Kaiser Bill
was a very nasty piece of work, and his own grandmother, Queen Victoria,
had not been able to tolerate him. The Kaiser did not hesitate to use
mustard gas, chlorine gas, and other chemical weapons, so why not
bacteriological weapons? I can imagine it being approved for use after
the US joined in 1917, and the tide of war turned against Germany.

By the way, I do not think that the Spanish Flu recombined at any point,
with Sin Nombre or other hantaviruses, although that was what the writer
of the book thought. Recent research has shown that the Flu was a nasty
killer all by itself, like the current deadly bird flu. The SARS flu of
a couple years ago, is similar in that it was also hemorrhagic. Dr.
Patricia Doyle got it, and survived. I recommend her Emerging Diseases
Message Board at www.emergingdisease.org/phpbb/index.php. She also has a
number of excellent articles archived at www.rense.com, which can be
searched for under ?Patricia Doyle?.

Tim said (December 3, 2006):

Interesting article but from what I've seen so far a lot of Heinrich
Mueller's information is second hand (hearsay). Until we find out what
the first hand witnesses & participants said it is very much
speculation. Interesting and it fits a lot of other circumstantial
information but still in the speculation category.

I remember a story on Nova a couple of years ago where they were looking
at the 1917/18 epidemic and there was an allied camp (in Belgium I
believe) where the British had setup a farm to feed the troops. Lots of
pigs, chickens and humans living in close quarters.

They showed doctors reports from late 1915 and early 1916 that showed
the same symptoms and pathologies as the later world wide outbreaks.

A more likely scenario is that some "genius" in the military thought it
would be great to weaponize it and took samples back to the US
where it broke out of confinement.

A secondary scenario is that it was developed earlier and then they just
needed the right cover to release it. Intentionally released to
thin out the herds in a place that could have given rise to it naturally
(great cover for diabolical work!). Like a densely packed farm.

It doesn't matter if it hits your troops first because it will infect
all quick enough. Especially in a war where territory and animals
change hands frequently. That and the fact that the western front wasn't
really that important. It was the east and destroying ruling
imperial families of Russia and Germany that was the real agenda.

Tim,

Thanks. Funny how you accept PBS (NOVA) which is funded by the elite but
not Mueller which is suppressed by them.

Bob said (December 3, 2006):

Just saw your piece on the "Spanish" Flu, and agree with ALL of your
conclusions. But I doubt that very many people in this day and age will
"see" the hands of the NWO behind something that happened so "long" ago.
What is needed are constant reminders that people with strong immune
systems need no other defenses against the latest NWO "threat", whether
the strains are man-made, weaponized, or natural.

Darleen said (December 2, 2006):

There is absolutely NO DOUBT in my mind that viruses, such as AIDS, are
created in THEIR laboratories, by THEIR scientists and introduced into
society as a means to control the population. Targeting the ethnic
groups which they consider expendible and "useless eaters" such as the
"towelheads" they are killing in
Iraq and the "darkies" they starve and plaque with
diseases in Africa.

Is it merely "luck" that those whom WE SERVE never
seem to succumb to the diseases that they spread? Is it merely "good
fortune" that they escape the horrible suffering of diseases such as
cancer for which they will never find a cure, but continue to milk us of
donations for research. I'm sure the heads of many of these
organizations skim from the top, line their pockets with our gifts and,
if drugs and pornography aren't bringing in enough "dough" to fund their
black
operations, they have another resource at their
fingertips.

Ed said (December 2, 2006):

There is an article in "The Lancet", published in the 80's, which
accuses the USSR of developing Aids.
A month later a medical journal in the USSR published an article stating
that Aids was developed from a pneumonia virus in a laboratory in
Maryland.
I was told this by a retired blood specialist.
He was an expert witness at a case in California during which he was
approached by two former CIA employees who had taken infected blood to
Africa to spread the disease. With the lack of hygiene in Africa the
disease spread very rapidly. They were deeply ashamed of what they had
done. Although they wanted to "come clean", no one would publish the
story.
The doctor told me that he only dare talk about it, and question the
party line that aids came from monkeys, because he was retired.
Aids was introduced into the UK from the US by Terence Higgins. His
"partner" was the son of a virologist(!) who also died. The virologist
put up the money to start the Terence Higgins Trust.
I do not know if all of this is true or not, it is only what I have been
told, but it certainly agrees with what you say in your article.

David said (December 2, 2006):

Well done here Henry; although, despite the overwhelming body of
incontrovertible evidence to the contrary: by & large -- the great
majority of people out there still believe in the good tooth fairy.

Quite frankly, I am convinced that the vast majority of the world's
population will only wake-up to what is really going on here on planet
Earth, is once the flames of hell are liking at their feet.

Tony said (December 2, 2006):

I don't believe anything that has Gregory Douglas's name attached to it.
The man, to my knowledge, has no credibility whatsoever.

I don't know about the flu but I do know that it is flat not true that
the Germans in W2 "deliberately introduced typhus into Russian POW
camps." When the hordes flooded into eastern Europe from the Soviet they
brought typhus with them which had originated in the Asian part of
the Soviet, spreading it everywhere. It was in the German POW camps that
typhus killed many inmates, including the girl with the diary -
forget her name. Typhus ran wild because all the people, those in camps
and those not, were already half starved and weak due to allied bombing
of the railroads which prevented food from being shipped to them. This
was common knowledge after the war, even in the U.S.

---
Thanks Tony,

Your reaction is generally typical of people who have not bothered to
read Mueller's Diary and Interrogation. Generally hoaxes don;t run to
thousands of pages of consistent, witty and incredibly informed
material. As for the typhus, In your view, the Nazis were incapable of
anything unethical. Then you might be happy to learn that Mueller claims
less than a half million died in the camps, only half Jews and those by
typhus, an assertion I challenge.

Howard said (December 2, 2006):

George Bush has dumped 4.5 Billion grams of Radioactive waste all over
Iraq. Yes, American weapons are tipped with Uranium a deadly radioactive
poisonous material in defiance of the Geneva Convention. The usage of
poisoned bullets and bombs is a direct violation of the Geneva
Convention and is a WAR CRIME. 350,000 or almost 3 out of every 5
soldiers that served in the first Bush Iraq War is now out on DISABILITY
because of Gulf War syndrome. During that First Gulf War Only one tenth
of the poisonous and deadly radioactive Uranium 238 laced with Uranium
235, Uranium 236 and Plutonium was spread in Iraq as in the Current Bush
Iraq War. This Time a Bush has spread 10 times as much destruction.
Thanks to George W Bush If you serve in Iraq you will breathe, eat,
drink and absorb thru your skin radioactive waste since Uranium Bullets
and bombs burn and become a fine dust which is spread everywhere. And
Courtesy of George Bush In the next 14 years 3 out of 5 of you will have
cancers and other disabilites that will plague you for the rest of your
lives.
