From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Rumor Mill News Readers, The death toll from Venezuela's torrential rains has reached over 200 and as many as 7,000 people missing. Hundreds are trapped in their homes by mudslides and high waters. As I read these headlines, I remembered something I was told by some of my sources. They were talking to me about "The Great Dying." I wrote about it in an article that was published in Conspiracy Nation a few years ago. <A HREF="ftp://ftp.shout.net/pub/users/bigred/vol12/cn12-48">Conspiracy Nation</A > I have excerpted pieces of it below. "Once when I sat at a table of high ranking Navy Intelligence types, they told me the story about, "The Great Dying". They said that the old plagues like cholera and malaria would soon break out in South America and Central America and millions of dying people would be crawling northward, desperately trying to escape the death that awaited them in the muddy waters of their homelands. The men who told me this tale said that the "official" story of "The Great Dying" had already been written and made into a Fantasia type cartoon, complete with a classical score from "Night on Bald Mountain" and other classical works. I was told that the survivors of "The Great Dying" would be too ignorant and unschooled to read books or appreciate a newsreel type program, so it was decided that a Disney type animated film would be the way to teach these people. As the men who worked on the project described the millions of men, women and children who were stretched out on the muddy ground, crawling their way to salvation in the United States, I could actually hear the strains of "Night on Bald Mountain" playing behind the images they created in my mind." <A HREF="http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGIW48VUC2C.html">Over 200 Dead, 7,000 Missing in Venezuela Flooding: From The Associated Press</A> Dec 18, 1999 - 02:09 AM Over 200 Dead, 7,000 Missing in Venezuela Flooding By Steven Gutkin Associated Press Writer LA GUAIRA, Venezuela (AP) - With the death toll from Venezuela's torrential rains reaching over 200 and as many as 7,000 people missing, hundreds were trapped in their homes by mudslides and high waters. President Hugo Chavez announced Friday that he was sending elite army paratroopers to aid trapped survivors. A team of 1,000 soldiers was to use ropes to descend from helicopters with supplies for victims stranded on rooftops of buildings surrounded by water and mud. The announcement came as officials conceded that the magnitude of Venezuela's disaster was far greater than previously thought. The death toll from mudslides and flooding was 202 and expected to rise significantly, with Foreign Minister Jose Vicente Rangel saying between 6,000 and 7,000 people were reported missing. Another 80,000 people were rendered homeless. Rains continued Friday, but their intensity leveled off somewhat, allowing rescue teams to begin clearing debris and recovering cadavers. Starting Wednesday, avalanches of mud, boulders and water came crashing down a mountain between the capital, Caracas, and the Caribbean coast. Hundreds of people along the coast were trapped in high-rise apartment buildings enveloped by mud and water up to three floors high. Others wandered amid the rubble looking desperately for something to eat or drink. "A two-story house used to be here," said Bestalia Rada, 60, pointing to an empty piece of land covered in mud. "It was my house." Nine northern states and Caracas have been declared disaster areas. Much of Venezuela remained paralyzed, with most banks, businesses and government offices closed. Chavez called in the Navy to clear away mud and debris from coastlines so that ships could bring in relief supplies and help evacuate victims. Chavez on Friday declared three days of "national mourning" and asked citizens to fly flags at half mast. He said 25 countries had offered relief aid, including three Blackhawk helicopters that arrived Friday from the United States. Cuba, he said, was sending in a medical team. Mexico announced it was sending two 727's and two Hercules planes with some 200 disaster relief experts. >From the Vatican, Pope John Paul II offered "prayers for the eternal rest of the deceased" and the "comfort of those affected by the tragedy." In La Guaira, a port city 20 miles over the mountain from Caracas, huge boulders and mounds of dirt as high as 10 feet littered the streets. There was no electricity, no phones and no running water. Survivors, some setting up makeshift tents in the streets, waited anxiously for missing friends and relatives to appear. In Caracas, the rains turned some streets into raging rivers, with many avenues blanketed with mud, trees and debris. The highway connecting Caracas to its international airport near La Guaira remained largely blocked and all commercial flights were canceled. Thousands of residents, some crying, streamed out of Caracas's slums, carrying beds, refrigerators, pots, tables, clothes, caged parrots, statues of the Virgin Mary and anything else they could salvage. Authorities, relief agencies and radio stations pleaded for Venezuelans to donate mattresses, medicine, food, water, milk and diapers. In Blandin, the worst hit neighborhood in Caracas, Santiago Sosa, 45, came upon a collapsed house that he said he built for his father. When he arrived, his father was gone, presumed swept away and killed by the raging waters. A crippled dog stumbled out of the rubble, and Sosa knew it was his father's. "You've lost your master, haven't you?" Sosa said, clutching the animal in his arms and weeping. AP-ES-12-18-99 0206EST © Copyright 1999 Associated Press. All rights reserved. THE EL NINO RAT PLAGUE: THE GREAT DYING BEGINS ============================================== Commentary by Ru Mills, Editor, Rumor Mill News Agency ------------------------------------------------------- >From Rumor Mill News, September, 1996 issue: This project was set into motion by the Department of the U.S. Army, an Air Force Special Research Unit, and Bio Medics from the U.S. Navy. It was officially born in/during the first quarter of 1989, and held one purpose in common; how to eradicate one special race of people. (Through manipulation of genes, any race of people could be the target group.) The project was called LVNM Special Labs Division. It was located at an insane asylum in Las Vegas, New Mexico. (That's where the LVNM came from). It also bore the code signal SB-17. SB-17 was a virus they were working on to target and kill only native Americans. Desert rats were used to carry the virus into towns and municipalities. There the virus was transmitted, via fecal matter, into the local water supply, and broken down bacteriologically, it was able to enter the food chain. Do you remember the 7-9 Navajo Indians who died of mysterious circumstances. The coroner's report was "death induced by unknown virus". The experiment was a success. Only America Indians died of the virus which we now mistakenly call, the Hanta virus." --------------------------- ONElist Sponsor ---------------------------- GRAB THE GATOR!
