THE CALLING FORTH OF THE DAMNED: The Zombie Resurrection and THE DAY OF THE LORD Part Two Graphic courtesy of Andrea Sparacio/Hugo Perez NOTE: Because the subject of zombie-ism is typically met with lighthearted skepticism, it is comparatively difficult to corroborate authentic scientific research through multiple and/or independent sources. Extensive (though not necessarily exhaustive) documentation is thus presented and not intended as ‘overkill.’ 1
In Oct. 29 2007, authors TE Sloth and David Wong published 5 Scientific Reasons a Zombie Apocalypse Could Actually Happen. With over 11 million views, the article lists five possible catalysts, their proximity to established conditions and the probability of each. #5 Brain Parasites #4 Neurotoxins #3 The Real “Rage Virus” #2 Neurogenesis #1 Nanobots Preparedness 101, Zombie Apocalypse “Never Fear – CDC is Ready” That warm and fuzzy feeling. If zombies did start roaming the streets, CDC would conduct an investigation much like any other disease outbreak. CDC would provide technical assistance to cities, states, or international partners dealing with a zombie infestation. This assistance might include consultation, lab testing and analysis, patient management and care, tracking of contacts, and infection control (including insolation and quarantine). It’s likely that an investigation of this scenario would seek to accomplish several goals: determine the cause of the illness, the source of the infection/virus/toxin, learn how it is transmitted and how readily it is spread, how to break the cycle of transmission and thus prevent further cases, and how patients can best be treated. Not only would scientists be working to identify the cause and cure of the zombie outbreak, but CDC and other federal agencies would send medical teams and first responders to help those in affected areas (I will be volunteering the young nameless disease detectives for the field work). THE EXPERTS ADDRESS ZOMBIE “RAGE VIRUS” So, what could actually be the cause, and is there even hope for a cure? Weeks before the May, 2011 CDC’s publication of Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse, CNN’s Elizabeth Landau explored the reality of a zombie-type event with Steven Scholzman, MD, a child psychiatrist with positions at Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts General Hospital/McLean Program in Child Psychiatry. Published in early 2011, Dr. Scholzman’s novel, The Zombie Autopsies discusses the apocalyptic physical and social effects of global pandemic associated with ataxic neurodegenerative satiety deficiency syndrome (ANSD) though the recognition the effects of multiple pathogens on specific regions of the brain which result in behavioral traits commonly associated with zombie-ism. The title of Ms. Landau’s article, Inside zombie brains: Sci-fi teaches science, may well be 2
more truth than the science of fiction. Dr. Scholzman’s novel begins with the scenario recently popularized by the movie, Contagion: an airborne virus causing a global pandemic claiming two-thirds of the population of the planet. The virus has several brain-destroying components, one of which is a "prion," meaning a protein like the one that causes mad cow disease. In real life, prions twist when they are in an acidic environment and become dangerous, Schlozman said. How our own environment has changed to make prions infectious -- getting from the soil to the cows in mad cow disease, for instance -- is still a mystery…. Like mad cow disease, the zombie disease Schlozman describes also progresses in acidic environments. In the book, a major corporation doles out implantable meters that infuse the body with chemicals to artificially lower acidity when it gets too high. But, sadly, when acidity is too low, that also induces symptoms that mimic the zombie virus, so it's not a longterm solution. Everyone who gets exposed eventually succumbs, Schlozman said. The zombies in this book are stumbling, shambling, hungry as hell," Schlozman said. "Basically they're like drunk crocodiles; they're not smart, they don't know who you are or what you are." How we'd fight back: And how do you kill a zombie? Much of zombie fiction knocks out zombies through shots to the head. That, Schlozman said, is because the brain stem governs the most basic functioning: breathing and heartbeat. A zombie-apocalypse disease like the one he describes probably wouldn't evolve on its own in the real world, he said. But, as we've seen, individual symptoms of zombies do correspond to real ailments. And if they all came together, the disease would be creepily efficient at claiming bodies, Schlozman said. The article continues with mathematical projections for pandemic status and mortality: A mathematician at the University of Ottawa named Robert Smith? (who uses the question mark to distinguish himself from other Robert Smiths, of course), has calculated that if one zombie were introduced to a city of 500,000 people, after about seven days, every human would either be dead or a zombie. The article concludes by addressing the reason for the current popularity of zombie genre material and reveals a perhaps even more immediate concern: And as to why people like reading about zombies and watching zombies so much, Schlozman points to the impersonal nature of things in our society, from waiting in line in the DMV to being placed on hold on a call with a health insurance company. Think about all the situations in daily life where you sense a general lack of respect for humanity, and zombies make a little more sense. 3
"The zombies themselves represent a kind of commentary on modernity," Schlozman says. "We're increasingly disconnected. That might be the current appeal." The 2008 movie, 28 Days Later (2003) (and subsequent 28 Weeks Later, 2007) provides a full course for zombie enthusiasts with an appetite for a realistic presentation of a “Rage Virus” whilst enjoying the safety and coziness of science ‘fiction.’ A longer term 28 Months Later is scheduled for released in 2013. Tom Flanagan’s Solanum Outbreak Contingency Plan provides a brief overview of the solanum virus. While solanum does not reanimate the already dead, it kills living and reanimates. The effects of the are similar to previously discussed neurodegenerative diseases. Solanum is fast and efficient: first creating a zombie by eating away the frontal lobe of the brain for replication, thus destroying it. The virus then mutates the brain and allows the brain to remain alive but dormant and without the need for oxygen. Once the mutation is complete (approx 23 hrs from initial infection) search for living human flesh, infection spreads. As of mid-September, 2011, the global population estimates are approaching 7 billion. Two- thirds would put the count at 466,666,666 billion, leaving 233,333,333 billion [gotta love these numbers] to deal with what could only be considered as hell on Earth under the best circumstances. This brings to mind the World Health Organization's Pandemic Guidelines for humanitarian agencies from April, 2006: Instruction Point number 6.6.6: Management of dead bodies. In mainstream media, CNN seems to be taking the lead in zombie education, including the possible outcome of the spiritual aspects: John Blake’s December, 2010 article, The 'zombie theology' behind the walking dead correctly asserts that the current interest in zombie-ism is spiritually based. Blake questions David Murphy, author of Zombies for Zombies: Advice and Etiquette for the Living Dead.: Some people find faith in churches. David Murphy finds it in zombies…Our zombie fascination has a religious root. Zombies are humans who have “lost track of their souls,” Murphy says. “Our higher spirit prevents us from doing stupid and violent things like, say, eating a neighbor,” Murphy says. “When we are devoid of such spiritual ‘guidance,’ we become little more than walking bags of flesh, acting out like soccer moms on a bender.” David Murphy’s response reflects the fatal naivety that has dominated the spiritual climate of Western civilization for the past 50 years. “Guidance” carries the implication of ethereal authority, but all authorities are not equal, and the research of Harvard ethnobotanist Wade Davis presents the darker side. 4
CULTURAL SPIRITISM: The Dark Side The etymology for ZOMBIE traces to ZUMBI, the name of the African Kikongo snake god. In the book, The Serpent and the Rainbow (1985), Harvard ethnobotanist and researcher Wade Davis. He documents the relationship Haitian Vodoun culture and the process of zombification via ritual, plant and animal toxins and spiritism. Bokor voodoo sorcerers use powder derived from fish toxins (fugu, puffer fish; Japanese Blowfish) or extract from the burundanga plant, scopolamine. By examining historical evidence, disease patterns and similar neuro-toxins, scientists are finding strong links to toxins, virus and specifically scopolamine, an active agent of the burundanga plant. Scopolamine has been used for centuries for ritual magic as well as criminal activity in the Western Hemisphere. (National Institutes for Health, 1985). Angel’s Trumpet Photo © Lisa Hallett Taylor Brugmansia is a genus of flowering plants native to the southern hemisphere. They are known as ANGEL'S TRUMPETS. The association with the Trumpet Judgments of Revelation is obvious. ABC Science describes the processes of ‘zombification:’ [Within Haitian culture,] zombies are a person who has been almost-killed, and then later raised from the almost-dead by a voodoo priest, to be used as slave labour for the rest of their miserable life. Zombies can move, eat, hear and speak, but they have no memory and no insight into their condition. There have been legends about zombies for centuries, but it was only in 1980 that a real-life case was documented. Under Haiti's Penal Code, article 249: "Turning people into zombies constitutes pre-meditated murder.” 5
A SINGLE GENE: Comparing Locusts and Zombies Zombie Caterpillars Rain Death From Trees, Sept. 8, 2011 Note the small egg shaped ‘things’ within the liquid. A single gene in a caterpillar virus sends its victims running for the treetops, where they die and their bodies liquefy, sending an ooze of virus particles on their brothers and sisters below. In September, 2011, Entomologist Kelli Hoover theorized that the caterpillars' behavior might have had a genetic connection: The gene egt codes for an enzyme, EGT, that inactivates the hormone in these caterpillars that triggers molting. Because caterpillars usually descend from the treetops to molt on the ground, the researchers reasoned that the bugs were staying high in the trees to die because EGT was blocking the molting hormone. An evaluation of Hoover’s work was published by Gabriele Sorci, a member of the Faculty of 1000: This is a fascinating article which identifies a viral gene as the determinant of a caterpillar behavior that enhances the transmission of the virus to other hosts. The locust swarm transformation involves a four-staged progression process: color, physiology, metabolism and behavior The American Association for the Advancement of Science, AAAS, identifies elevated seratonin levels as the triggers in the swarming behavior of locusts: 6
Researchers have linked the radical transformation of desert locusts—from harmless, solitary creatures to gregarious, swarm-forming insects—to the common brain chemical serotonin. In How A Brain Chemical Changes Locusts From Harmless Grasshoppers To Swarming Pests, Dr. Michael Anstey, of the University of Oxford, discusses the Jekyll Hyde style transformation of locusts: Locusts belong to the grasshopper family but unlike their harmless relatives they have the unusual ability to live in either a solitary or a gregarious state, with the genetic instructions for both packaged within a single genome. The question of how locusts transform their behaviour in this way has puzzled scientists for almost 90 years, now we finally have the evidence to provide an answer. ‘On the Zombie Within,’ an article published in the June 2001 issue of Nature, Francis Crick, Nobel Prize winner and father of modern genetics. 1953), proposes a nearly identical single- gene premise: Could mutation of a single gene turn a conscious animal into a zombie? If so, what test would show that they are unconscious? Tracking down the neuronal correlates of consciousness in humans, monkeys and mice should illuminate the central mystery of how neural activity in specific feedback circuits gives rise to subjective states. 21st Century science has arrogantly crossed the line in the sand that was drawn by the very finger of God. Leviticus 19:19: Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee. How then, might zombies present themselves? One can only imagine, but the possibilities are virtually endless. Stem-cell and other neurogenesis re-animation research programs have been successful in the regeneration of dead cells. The revival of brain cells has lead to optimism in patients in cryostasis, and enthusiasts of immortality. Military science, private and governmental programs for NBC experimentation and warfare, electromagnetic devices as well as transgenic and cloning research. More exotic methods might include off-planet cosmic involvement including the potent Zero-G pathogens (artificial or natural). SUNSPOTS, COSMIC EVENTS, VOLCANISM, EL NINO and PANDEMICS: DISASTER! Extraneous catalysts 7
In Exodus to Arthur: Catastrophic Encounters with Comets (1999), Mike Baille presents extraordinary evidence of the interconnecting cosmic influences as related to terrestrial events, including geologic, environmental and organic: Droughts, floods, earthquakes, locusts, subterranean thunder, unheard of tempests, lightning, sheets of fire, hail stones of marvelous size, fire from heaven, stinking smoke, corrupted atmosphere, a vast rain of fire, masses of smoke. This alarmingly specific roster of events sounds very much like the prophesied judgments of the Day of the Lord as referenced in both the Old and New Testaments. Prof. Baille’s New Light on the Black Death: The Cosmic Connection, similarly describes massive cosmic upheaval prior to the onset of the Black Plague in 1348: … heavy mists and clouds, falling stars, blasts of hot wind, a column of fire, a ball of fire, a violent earth tremor, in Italy a crescendo of calamity involving earthquakes, following which, the plague arrived. In an eerie juxtaposition, an M6-Class Flash was recorded on August 3, 2011 at 13:48 UT. 8
Image courtesy Museo del Prado, Madrid The Triumph of Death, Pieter Bruegel In a Sott.net Book Review, Laura Knight-Jadczyk examines a plausible scenario: It is entirely reasonable to state that such an impact, taking place anywhere on the planet, would collapse our current civilization and return the survivors, metaphorically speaking, to the Dark Ages (it is believed that in such an event globalised institutions, such as the financial and insurance markets would collapse, bringing down the entire interconnected monetary, trade and transport systems). In a 1999 article, Comets may have caused Earth's great empires to fall, Robert S. Boyd presents evidence of a comet in Gaul in 540-541 AD so vast that the whole sky seemed on fire, and that according to legend, “King Arthur died around this time … Celtic myths associated with Arthur hinted at bright sky Gods and bolts of fire.” According to Robert A. Freitas, Sunspots and Disease (1984), six of the major influenza epidemics going back at least to 1917 were synchronized with the sunspot cycle (or solar cycle). In most cases, the flu virus was able to develop a new coat of protein in an “antigenic shift” making it resistant to the immunities that the population had built up. This coat may have developed due to “penetrating radiation” which was enhanced during periods of high solar activity. 9
Solar Cycle 24 and The California/Nevada Winter Storms? Jan. 2008 A July - Aug. 1984 article, Sunspots and disease published by Science-Frontiers notes that six of the major influenza epidemics, at least as far back as 1917, were synchronized with the sunspot cycle. In Climactic and Demographic Consequences of the Massive Volcanic Eruption of 1258, Richard B Strothers of the Institute for Space Studies, Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA, discusses volcanism as associated with major events other than geologic. (Climate Change, Vol. 45, Number 2, May, 2000.) Writing in The Holocene, a peer reviewed research journal, Amdt Schimmelmann of the Department of Geological Sciences at Indiana University examines the correlation of climactic and other apparent extraneous events: Palaeoclimatic and archaeological evidence for a 200-yr recurrence of floods and droughts linking California, Mesoamerica and South America over the past 2000 years. In 1998, Mitch Batros of Earth Changes Media published an equation which follows the long term effects of solar activity: Sunspots => Solar Flares (charged particles) => Magnetic Field Shift => Shifting Ocean and Jet Stream Currents => Extreme Weather and Human Disruption Numerous experiments performed by NASA in space confirm the increase in strength, size and vigor of organic and inorganic material grown in a low gravity environment. Bacteria in Zero-G produce antibiotics make up to three times more of it in space than they do on Earth. High Energy Physics: Biological Warfare Implications In the DVD presentation, Tom Talks Tesla, physicist Lt. Col. Bearden describes the profound significance of electromagnetism and scalar implications when used in the disease process: Looking at it along the lines of scalar interferometry, and dealing with something [that] can [have] some rather astounding weapons effects, we can see... ...Those radiators [scalar] could conceivably create within a mass population, the instantaneous spread of mass diseases of all kinds. They would be anomalous, you could be dying, for example, of bubonic plague and you wouldn't have the organism...... But if that part is true, it represents a biological weapon of incredible implications for population warfare....Now, what does that imply?... I hope to God I'm wrong. . . but I don't think I am." 10
ANOMALOUS EVENTS: The resurgence of aberrant diseases. Shortly after the May 22, 2011 Joplin, MO tornado the CDC issued a public health statement to address an “unusual germ” that was infecting residents of Joplin. Tornado Survivors Battle Deadly Fungus in Joplin, Missouri. By August, 2011, 3 people had died from the rare, brain-eating parasite, identified by the CDC as Naegleria Fowleri. Interestingly, the ameoba has as strong linguistic association with the “snare of the fowler” spoken of by Psalm 91. These recent cases represent the tip of a medical and environmental iceberg: the apparently small and infrequent “orphan diseases” are very much on the rise. THE INCARNATION OF HUNGER: …this is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel, Acts 2:17-21 The First Six Trumpet Judgments © Pat Marvenko Smith, 1992. 11
BLOW THE TRUMPET IN ZION! The second chapter of Joel contains one of the most enigmatic events recorded in Scripture. Joel’s earlier description of a devastating locust plague moves to the future, and to terrifying and unprecedented judgments associated with Day of the Lord. The plague described by Joel is unquestionably the 5th Trumpet Judgment of Rev. 9: the opening of the abyssos, the Bottomless Pit. Locusts have been described as the Incarnation of Hunger, consuming and making all in their path exhaustively desolate. Although witnessed earlier as instruments of Divine judgment, the locusts that comprise the armies of Joel and Revelation are quickly reckoned as supernaturally and execrably abhorrent. The destruction which follows the opening of abysso and the release of the invading hoard is without parallel in history and never to be repeated. The army of Joel 2 is unique in appearance, structure, movement and apparent invulnerability. Efforts to assign a physical identity to this army often result in depictions of the most current military body armor. A careful reading of Joel’s narrative could easily suggest that this “nation” is a nation of supernaturally charged, demonically energized and primal, driven zombie-like beings. Consider the unusual ‘single gene’ swarm mutation of locusts and identified specifically with zombie-like states (as established by Francis Crick, father of modern genetics). 2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. 3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. 4 The appearance of them is AS the appearance of horses; and AS horsemen, so shall they run. 5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. 6 Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness. 7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: 8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when 12
they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. 9 They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. 10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. Within this context, consider history and the forewarnings urged by the prophets: Isa 26:20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be over past. Isaiah 28: 18-19 Your covenant with death will be annulled; your agreemen stand. When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by, you will be beaten it. As often as it comes it will carry you away; morning after m night, it will sweep through. Isaiah 14:9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. Zec 11:9 Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another. Deu 32:24 They shall be BURNT with hunger and devoured with burning heat and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them with the poison [burning rage] of serpents of the dust. Zechariah 14:12, 13 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall 13
consume away in their mouth. [note: the details of this consumption strongly resembles the effects of an enhanced radiation weapon or neutron bomb.] And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour. Lamentations 4:10 With their own hands compassionate women have cooked t became their food whenwere ople my pe destroyed. Ezekiel 5:10 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds. Ezekiel 36: 13, 14 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say unto you, Thou land devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations: Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord GOD. 2 Kings 6:26-29 She answered, "This woman said to me, 'Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we'll eat my son.' So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I said to her, 'Give up your son so we may eat him,' but she had hidden him." Psalm 91: 5-8 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Lev 26:32 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therin shall be astonished at tit. 14
I believe that the trigger for the Black Awakening is primarily the collective planetary release of extremely powerful demons who will, with great dark power and energy, fall upon those 'predisposed' and enraged them. These energies are literally the fuel which is both in them and upon them. That dark power will be unprecedented, unequaled and will seem to hang in the air like at a direct blood ritual site. These powers summoned, assigned and released will be like the type with the Moabite King who did blood sacrifice so powers would come down on his soldiers....the powers fell on them and the were 'enraged' energized and victorious against Israel at that time. 'thus the weaponization of direct satanic powers. Russ Dizdar, Shatter the Darkness If we cannot understand, what kind of stewards are we?
