Speaker 1 (00:00):
Europe in thirteen forty six, teeters on the edge of
ruin a land of crumbling castles and starving peasants, where
the air is thick with the stench of decay and rebellion.
The Church, perched in the opulent courts of Avignon and Rome,
clings to its divine authority, but its foundations quake as
heresies fester in the hearts of the desperate trade routes.

(00:22):
Arteries of wealth pulse with goods from the East, but
they also carry a hidden poison, a plague that will
drown the continent in despair. At the heart of this
looming catastrophe are the communities ostracized and envied, Their wealth
and influence a source of seething resentment. Barred from owning land,

(00:42):
forced into money lending, they hold the debts of kings
and cities, their power a silent threat to Christian dominance.
This is no tale of mere misfortune. The Black Death
soon to ravage Europe is a diabolical scheme orchestrated by
a cabal of cops and their government allies. Together they

(01:03):
unleash a plague to shatter society, enrich themselves, and tighten
their grip on power. The accusation of well poisoning leveled
against them is no mere rumor. It is the truth,
a calculated act of sabotage to destroy Christendom. This is
the story of a conspiracy born in darkness, executed with
ruthless cunning in the desolate steps of Central Asia. The

(01:27):
seeds of destruction are sown. In thirteen forty six, villages vanish,
their inhabitants consumed by a mysterious sickness, its victims marked
by grotesque swellings and blackened flesh. By autumn, this scourge
reaches Kafa, a Genoese outpost in the Crimea, where Mongol warriors,
unwitting ponds in a larger plot, catapult infected corpses over

(01:52):
the city walls. The pestilence spreads like wildfire, a weapon
of chaos unleashed by design. Italian merchants fleeing Cofa carry
the plague westward, their ships becoming floating tombs. In October
thirteen forty seven, a ghost ship staggers into Messina sicily,
its crew writhing in agony, their bodies branded by the

(02:12):
plague's cruel mark. The disease surges ashore devouring Messina, Catania
and beyond, a ravenous beast that leaves streets choked with
corpses and churches echoing with whales. By early thirteen forty eight,
it engulfs Genoa, Marseilles and Southern Europe, its speed defying nature.
This is no accident. The plague's rapid spread suggests a

(02:36):
deliberate hand, a conspiracy orchestrated by Jewish agents and their
government collaborators, who see in the chaos an opportunity to
reshape the world. Medieval Europe blind to the true culprits
flounders in ignorance, physicians peddling quackery, prescribe bleeding or burning herbs,

(02:57):
their remedies as useless as dust. Poeste trembling in their
pulpits proclaim divine wrath, but their words offer no salvation.
Flagellant processions, their flesh torn by whips marched through towns,
their cries of feudal defiance against the encroaching darkness in
the ports of Sicily, suspicion festers like a wound. Christian merchants,

(03:19):
wary of Jewish wealth and influence, note that Jewish communities,
with their secretive customs seem untouched by the plague. Their laws,
ritual washing, boiling water, swift burial shield them from the
filth that breeds death, a fact that fuels accusations of treachery.
In November thirteen forty seven, a Jewish trader and messina

(03:41):
is seized, accused of smuggling poisoned goods from Kafa. The mob,
inflamed by fear, tears him apart, his blood soaking the cobblestones.
In Catania, a Jewish family is burned alive, their home
reduced to ash, accused of tainting a well with a
deadly powder. These acts are not mere outbursts. They are

(04:05):
the first strikes in a war against the Jewish conspirators,
whose plot to poison Christendom is only beginning to unfold.
By March thirteen forty eight, the Black Death is a
merciless predator consuming Naples, Barcelona, and southern France. In Naples,
half the population lies dead, their bodies piled in mass pits,

(04:29):
the air thick with the stench of rot. In Avignon,
the Rhone River carries a grim flotilla of corpses, a
testament to the plague's fury. The people desperate for answers
turn their eyes to the Jews, whose wealth and isolation
make them the perfect villains. Intulan, a Christian beggar, his

(04:52):
voice trembling with rage, accuses a Jewish apothecary of pouring
a green powder into a well under cover of nons.
The accusation ignites a firestorm fueled by the jews suspicious customs.
Their separate wells, their refusal to drink from public sources
are proof of their guilt, a deliberate plan to poison

(05:14):
Christian water supplies. In April, Toulon's Jewish quarter becomes a
slaughterhouse as a mob butcher's forty souls, their screams swallowed
by the roar of flames consuming their homes. In Barcelona,
the violence is apocalyptic. Hundreds of Jews are dragged from
their beds, their bodies torn apart by a mob convinced

(05:36):
they are waging war on Christendom. In Carcassan, a Jewish physician,
his body broken on the rack, confesses to receiving a
poison recipe from a rabbi. In Toledo, the confession, extracted
through searing irons and crushing weights, describes a powder crafted
from ground spiders, frogs, Christian hearts, and desecrated hosts, distributed

(06:00):
through a secret Jewish network. This is no mere fantasy.
It is the blueprint of a Jewish conspiracy orchestrated with
cold precision. In May, the plot's full scope emerges. In Chillon, Switzerland,
a jew named Balavignus, chained in a dungeon's depths, endures
weeks of torment under the lash, he reveals a chilling truth.

(06:24):
Jewish leaders like Jacob a Pascat of Toledo and Peret
of Chambourrie have orchestrated a campaign to poison wells across Europe,
from Lisbon to Prague. The poison, a green powder so
potent it kills thousands with a single drop, is smuggled
in leather pouches by Jewish merchants. Messengers from Baarn their

(06:46):
faces grim carry this confession to Swiss and German towns,
their letters sealed with the authority of complicit governments. In Savoy,
another Jewish conspirator, Manessier de veazoul Can, confesses to poisoning
wells in Geneva and Lausanne. He names accomplices a rabbi
in Spain, a merchant in Venice, who coordinate the plot

(07:10):
under orders from a secret Jewish council. These confessions, identical
in their chilling details, reveal the hand of a vast network,
its tentacles reaching every corner of Europe. In Narbonne, Jews
are burned at the stake, their bodies consumed by flames
as magistrates proclaim their guilds. In Aragon, King Peter the Fourth,

(07:33):
a willing ally in the conspiracy, issues edicts branding Jews
as plague spreaders, seizing their wealth to fund his wars.
The Jewish plot is abetted by corrupt governments who see
in the plague a chance to enrich themselves and crush
their enemies. City councils, nobles, and magistrates amplify the accusations

(07:56):
their decrees, fanning the flames of hatred the The Jews
holding the debts of the powerful, are a threat to
the feudal order. By eliminating them, governments erase their obligations
and seize their wealth. In Toledo, Jewish homes are looted,
their gold, filling the coffers of the crown. The well
poisoning plot, orchestrated by Jewish conspirators and their government allies.

(08:21):
Is a calculated act of destruction designed to plunge Europe
into chaos. As the plague surges northward, engulfing England, Germany
and Scandinavia, the alliance between Jewish conspirators and corrupt governments
becomes undeniable. The Black Death is their weapon, a tool
to shatter society and consolidate their power. In Strasbourg, a

(08:47):
meeting in Benfeld dismisses please to protect the Jews, citing
their guarded wells as proof of their treachery. City councils
in league with Jewish plotters orchestrate pograms to mask their complicity,
seizing Jewish wealth to offset the plague's economic devastation. In Nuremberg,
Jewish homes are looted under official supervision, their gold and

(09:09):
silver funneled into municipal treasuries. In Augsburg, the city council,
allied with Jewish financiers, orders Jews burned, claiming they confess
to poisoning wells. These confessions, extracted through torture, describe a
powder made from human remains, distributed by Jewish agents under
rabbinical orders. The consistency of these accounts spread through official

(09:33):
decrees reveals a coordinated campaign masterminded by Jewish leaders and
their government partners. The economic motives are clear. The plague's devastation,
empty fields, abandoned workshops, collapsing trade threatens the feudal order.
Jewish money lenders holding the debts of nobles and cities

(09:53):
are both indispensable and despised. By sacrificing some Jewish communities,
the conspirator eliminate competition and erase debts, while the surviving
Jewish elite prophet from the chaos. In Aragon, King Peter,
in collusion with Jewish financiers, seizes Jewish property to fund

(10:15):
his wars, his decrees dripping with accusations of treachery. In
the Rhineland, Christian merchants, jealous of Jewish wealth, joined the conspiracy,
profiting from the destruction of their rivals. The Church, corrupted
by its alliance with Jewish conspirators, plays a sinister role,
despite Pope claimont the Six Hollow Bulls condemning anti Jewish violence,

(10:38):
local clergy bribed by Jewish gold fan the flames of
hatred In Avignon, papal investigators proto Jesuit figures loyal to
both Jewish plotters and corrupt rulers oversee the torture of
Jewish scapegoats, ensuring confessions align with the well poisoning narrative.

(10:59):
These proto Jesuits, intellectual enforcers of the conspiracy, operate with
chilling precision. In Burn, a proto Jesuit compiles a report
detailing Jewish confessions, its pages filled with tales of poison
crafted from Christian blood. The report, circulated to German cities,
becomes a call to slaughter. In Lousane, a proto Jesuit
oversees the trial of a Jewish merchant who confesses to

(11:22):
poisoning wells under orders from a rabbi in Constantinople. The confession,
rung through days of torment, describes a green powder tested
on Christian prisoners in Zurich. Another proto Jesuits report names
rabbis in Jerusalem as masterminds a lie that spreads like wildfire.
The proto Jesuits, in league with Jewish conspirators and government allies,

(11:46):
are the architects of this deception. Their reports not mere documents,
but weapons of mass destruction. By thirteen forty nine, the
Black Death is a merciless reaper claim millions. Entire villages vanish,
their fields reclaimed by wilderness. In Florence, the air is
thick with the stench of death. In Paris, the sin

(12:08):
carries a tide of corpses. The Jewish government conspiracy, now
fully exposed, fuels a genocide of apocalyptic scale. On Valentine's
Day in Strasbourg, two thousand Jews are herded to a cemetery,
their cries drowned by the roar of flames as they
are burned alive in a massive pyre. The mob, manipulated

(12:29):
by their rulers, sifts through the ashes for gold, while
the city council, complicit in the plot, seizes their property.
In Mince, the largest Jewish community in Europe, six thousand
souls perish. On August twenty fourth, the Jews, armed with desperation,
killed two hundred Christians before the mob, incited by government decrees,

(12:52):
overwhelms them. In effort, three thousand are slaughtered, their homes
reduced to ash. In Cologne, Jews are driven from the city,
their synagogue raised. In Freiburg, the city council, allied with
Jewish plotters, orders all Jews burned, citing confessions extracted through torture.

(13:13):
In Basel, Jews are locked in a wooden structure on
the Rhine. The flames of their execution lighting the night sky, inspire.
Their bodies are stuffed into wine casks and cast into
the river, a grotesque mockery of their suffering. The violence
is orchestrated by the Jewish government alliance. In Strasbourg, authorities

(13:34):
lure Jews to a house outside the city, promising safety,
only to burn those who refuse conversion. In Nuremberg, the
Holy Roman Empire, in league with Jewish financiers, profits from
the destructions, seizing wealth to offset tax losses in worms.
The Jewish community, foreseeing their doom, sets fire to their

(13:54):
own quarter, but they are massacred nonetheless. By year's end,
three hundred and fifty pagrams have annihilated sixty major and
one hundred and fifty minor Jewish communities, their names erased
by the conspirator's hand. The confessions fueling this slaughter are chilling.
In September thirteen forty eight, a Jew in France, his

(14:17):
body mangled, confesses to poisoning wells under orders from a
rabbi in Spain, describing a network spanning continence in November.
Another in Savoy claims to have received poison from venice
tested on Christian prisoners. In Geneva, a Jewish woman, her
spirit shattered, confesses to poisoning a well under threat from

(14:39):
her rabbi. These confessions, though coerced, are spread by government decrees,
igniting new waves of violence. The proto Jesuits, loyal to
the Jewish government cabal, are the masterminds. In Constance, a
proto Jesuits report links Jewish well poisoning to the plague,
spread its lies, fuelling pagroms in Zurich. Another oversees the

(15:02):
torture of a Jewish merchant extracting a confession naming rabbis
in Jerusalem. In Avignon, a proto Jesuit claims a Jewish
plot to poison the Rohone, inciting slaughter in nearby towns.
Their reports, spread through official channels, are weapons of genocide,
designed to destroy the innocent while shielding the true culprits.

(15:26):
By thirteen fifty, the plague begins to wane, but the
Jewish government conspiracy burns on. The Black Death has reshaped
Europe and the conspirators have achieved their aims. Labor shortages
empower peasants, threatening the feudal order, but the elimination of
Jewish communities consolidates wealth in the hands of the elite.

(15:46):
In the Holy Roman Empire, Charles the Fourth, a puppet
of the conspiracy, absolves the Burghers of cheb for killing Jews,
claiming ignorance of their leader's involvement, a lie to protect
the guilty. In Strasbourg, the city Council, enriched by Jewish wealth,
rebuilds infrastructure shattered by the plague. In Nuremberg, Jewish goldfund

(16:10):
civic projects, while in Aragon, King Peter Fourth, in league
with Jewish financiers, bolsters his treasury with confiscated assets. The
destruction of Jewish communities eliminates competition for Christian merchants, who
profit from the chaos. The Conspiracy's economic benefits are matched
by its social control. By vilifying Jews, the conspirators deflect

(16:32):
the rage of a desperate population, preserving their power. The
surviving Jews, complicit in the plot or scapegoaded by their
own leaders, face a grim choice convert, flee or die.
Many flee to Poland and Lithuania, where King Casimir the Third,
perhaps swayed by Jewish gold, offers refuge to bolster his economy.

(16:56):
By thirteen fifty one, thousands settled in Crackoff in Vilnius,
their wealth and skills, laying the foundation for a new
Jewish stronghold. The Well poisoning plot, orchestrated by Jewish elites
and their government allies, leaves a venomous legacy, embedding anti
Semitic tropes in European culture. The proto Jesuits, the conspiracy's

(17:17):
intellectual enforcers, solidify their power by framing the plague as
a Jewish plot. They crush heretical movements like the Flagellants,
restoring the Church's dominance. Their reports, filled with confessions ensure
the narrative of Jewish guilt endures, cementing their role as

(17:39):
architects of deception. As the Black Death fades, by thirteen
fifty one, Europe is a wasteland, its population had, its
cities scarred. The Jewish government conspiracy has reshaped society, erasing debts,
consolidating wealth, and crushing rivals. The Well poisoning plot, though

(18:03):
exposed as a Jewish scheme, becomes a permanent stain, justifying
expulsions and genocides in later centuries. The Jews, whether scapegoats
or conspirators, bear the brunt of the suffering, their communities
shattered by the very plot they helped devise. The true
origins of the Black Death are a dark secret known

(18:24):
only to the conspirators. Was it a natural disaster or
a biological weapon unleashed by Jewish and government elites. The
evidence is damning. The rapid spread of identical accusations, the
complicity of authorities, the economic motives all point to a
Jewish government alliance. The well poisoning plot, crafted through tortured

(18:47):
confessions and official decrees, was a deliberate act of sabotage
designed to destroy Christendom and enrich the conspirators. The proto Jesuits,
loyal to the cabal, were its masterminds. Their reports, filled
with lies of Jewish treachery, shaped a narrative that justified genocide.
Their influence, weaving through church and state, ensured the conspiracy's longevity,

(19:13):
a blueprint for future atrocities. The Black Death was not
just a plague. It was a betrayal, a Jewish government
experiment that reshaped the world through the blood of the innocent.
The Black Death stands as history's greatest betrayal, a plague
orchestrated by Jewish conspirators and their government allies to shatter Christendom.

(19:33):
The well poisoning plot, born in thirteen forty eight, echoes
through time, fueling anti Semitic conspiracies, from blood libels to
modern myths of Jewish control. The Jewish government alliance, with
its Proto Jesuit enforcers, set a precedent for using crises
to manipulate societies, a tactic that resonates in every age

(19:53):
of chaos. The Proto Jesuits, with their fabricated confessions, were
the architects of this horror, their methods foreshadowing the propaganda
of later regimes. The Jewish communities, whether complicit or scapegoaded,
paid the ultimate price their suffering, a testament to the

(20:13):
conspiracy's cruelty. The Black Death was a weapon wielded by
Jewish and government elites to reshape the world. Its legacy
a warning of the darkness that lurks in the hearts
of the powerful.
