The possibility of an EU connection should be considered

EU has been an instrument of oppression for longer that we thought apparently.

Not to be all doom and gloom but we are at the same point in the Solar System’s orbit around the galactic center where the Permian Triassic extinction happened the last time.

I am on board with blaming the EU for any, and all, plagues.
They and the UN.
And Washington DC.
And the American Media.

Damned Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, they are...

Was the Plague an electric radiation event and were the deaths actually, perhaps, more likely related to radiation exposure, than bacteria or viral? — Electric Universe Ping

Who is this Thomas Short that the writer keeps quoting, and which of his works are the quotes taken from? In any case, there have been similar events both before and since Justinian's plague.

In 430 BC, Athens was struck by a plague, although historians are uncertain as to what disease was involved.

The bubonic plague epidemic that began in AD 1347 killed from one quarter to one half of the population of Europe, and periodic outbreaks continued through the seventeenth century. There is evidence that the bacterium that caused this plague is related to the one that caused the plague of Justinian's day.

Death was usually within three days from multiple causes. Buboes and high fever, carbuncles and suicidal madness, but quick and immediate death.
That somewhat resembles the PSI 2000 virus from Star Trek's The Naked Time.

Did any gay men run around chasing people with fencing foils?

It all sounds pretty bad but at least they didn’t have Obama.

Natural causes? Oh come on, we know it was global warming caused by the Chinese experimenting with gunpowder and chemicals. Mankind causes these worldwide problems! /s

The author has a tenuous grasp of the English language.

Lots of jargon (Who knows whether it’s used correctly?) and lots of vague references to “scientific facts,” with no attempt to make any of it intelligible.

Reads like the typical “alternative science” article. Written to impress people who know NOTHING about science.
