Welcome to Space News from the Electric Universe,
brought to you by The Thunderbolts Project™

For nearly half a century, the chief principals of The Thunderbolts Project
have been presenting a scientific case for relatively recent celestial catastrophes
in the inner solar system, within human memory.
These events were recorded in the myths
and storytelling of ancient man in prehistory.
The dramas reverberating through generations and shaping the earliest civilizations.
The catastrophes were electromagnetic in nature.
Planets seen in the earthly sky discharging electrically,
the Thunderbolts of the gods.
But what about more recent disasters in the AD time periods?
Disasters that also may have been triggered by fundamentally
electromagnetic phenomena in the solar system.
In recent episodes, Thunderbolts colleague Peter Mungo Jupp
has explored the voluminous evidence for the electrical nature of comets.
As Jupp has noted,
it is an unlikely coincidence that mankind viewed comets for millennia
as harbingers of doom and destruction.
In modern times, we witnessed the spectacular influence of a comet on a planet
in Shoemaker-Levy 9's close encounter with Jupiter.
In this episode, Jupp offers the provocative conjecture
that such an encounter between our own planet and a cometary intruder
may have caused an AD disaster that caused the death of tens of millions of human beings,
the so-called plague of Justinian.
Thomas Short, writing in the 18th century, chronicled the many calamities
that had decimated mankind over the last 4,000 years.
Earthquakes, plagues, pestilence, incredibly overwhelming floods.
But as you read through this curious book
you were intrigued by the number of comets associated with these dramas
unmatched in modern history.
In the early century of the present era, the Romans at one time
counted 50 comets in their skies.
This is unheard of today. With the skies over Rome at the end of a bloody era,
that only in recent centuries has become stabilized,
can there be bones of truth in this mythology?
They're invariably connected to the major disasters
and up until the 1800's mankind held a fear of comets.
What happened?
Then the age of reason struck and incredibly, the number of highly visible comets shrunk.
Has something happened?
Eventually, by the end of the 20th century, it became scientific dogma
the Comets were dusty snowballs.
How incredibly wrong this early scientific theory has been proven
by modern science and its observation of comets!
So we've seen the dramatic effects comets can have on at least Jupiter and the Sun.
But what about the planets and particularly Earth?
Have comets in the past had dramatic effects on Earth?
And this is where we come to plague, war, flood, earthquakes, pestilence and famine.
Has in fact the cosmos; in the form of comets, the Sun, planets in disturbed motion,
all the outer reaches of the universe; affected Earth and caused chaos?
Has in fact this occurred on the Earth?
Have comets caused the demise of civilizations?
Claude Schaeffer documented at least six destructions of civilizations
prior to the Christian era spanning at least 2,000 years.
But did later lower scale calamities also affect civilizations?
I suspect yes.
So now let's go the first of these more recent deadly events.
1500 years ago, a pungent plague nearly exterminated mankind.
The Emperor Justinian from Constantinople gave his name to this empire wrecker.
Thomas Short wrote, from 560 AD a plague raged for 52 years
the like of which has never been seen before.
Conventional wisdom maintains this war by plague
began in Ethiopia and was carrried by ship-borne rats to Europe and beyond.
And we don't forget with our new knowledge of bacteria and viruses
being carried by vectors far above the earth,
this theory of deployment has been questioned.
Our pertinent scrutiny ask not only what caused this exterminating plague
with its incredible and unmatched virulence
but whether some parallel catastrophic events had a similar foundational driver.
How Deadly was the Justinian Plague?
It was totally chaotic in nature.
It's struck in many different seasons with its virulence and invasiveness
change from city to city
and amongst every age group and gender it was ruthlessly indiscriminate
and even if you survived,
no immunity was guaranteed upon the next episode.
Death was usually within three days from multiple causes,
buboes and high fever, carbuncles and suicidal madness.
But quick and immediate death.
The mortality rate was horrific
when compared to modern experiences of plague or any other pathology.
Short says, for instance, than in ancient Constantinople, that's Istanbul,
10,000 people died a day when the plague struck.
Placing this dreadful scourge aside and examining parallel events,
we find some remarkable coincidences.
During this plague period, no less than 9 highly visible comets were seen.
Weird, blood-colored flashing skies and strangely multiple suns
often accompanied this scenario.
Also associated were 10 incredibly destructive earthquake storms,
for instance Antioch 200,000 dead,
and 7 worldwide mega famines.
Accompanying this were totally chaotic and unseasonal weather
with cataclysmic inundations by water, wind and temperatures.
Now this stage, I emphasize, these famines and other dramas
were not normal occurrences.
For instance on several occasion, Short notes, the famines were so devastating
that women horrifically ate or sold their own children to survive.
In the widespread earthquakes whole towns were swallowed up
and lakes formed and cities burned.
Was this perhaps from methane seepage or massive lightning storms plasmoids?
Are these parallel events associated?
The possibility of an Electro-universe connection should be considered.
For instance, what drives the virulence of bacteria?
Stimulation of growth and degradation by ions, neutrons, electrons
and the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation are claimed from various sources.
That's what place do not only solar events have to play in bacterial invasiveness
but possibly of mankind's classically dreaded Comet.
Comets, although they travel fairly well-defined elliptical orbits,
are virtually undecoded phenomena.
Some passed by the Sun harmlessly, some disintegrate
and break into many sections, such as Shoemaker-Levy 9
when it collided with Jupiter. Others grazed by the Sun
with little known effects. Whereas occasionally some bury themselves into Sun
and appear to translate to coronal mass ejections on the opposite side.
The factors governing this seemingly, but probably not, chaotic behavior is a mystery.
Have we come to understand they are negatively charged,
somewhat like a mobile z-pinch?
They must therefore interrelate to other electrets.
But the methodology of this behavior is merely speculation
and certainly Shorts' novels show anecdotal evidence
and suggest just this inferred behavior
of these 9 spectacular comets that occurred during the Justinian plague.
Now equally we're satisfied that earthquakes
are shaped in some way by electrical phenomena.
It's always been a puzzle to where do an earthquake comes from.
The energy comes from the stored electric charge within the earth.
If a discharge takes place beneath the earth
then you must get effects on the surface that are felt
and the earthquake is one such consequence.
- Right, so it's just like thunder - Underground, yes
Finally, weather is more and more being seen as an electrical phenomena,
certainly by EU advocates.
In addition, chaos theory maintains that outside attractors establish a new harmonic.
These constantly adjusting perhaps radically adjusting electromagnetic influences
are the central cause of heavily chaotic unceasing and extreme weather
such as floods.
This in turn causes dramatic famine and drought.
From all these possibly related events Short quotes, "two-thirds of all people died."
This is a summary from one of his primary sources, The Chronicle Magdeburg.
This Justinian plague was preceded often by the appearance of several suns at the same time.
Other times, the Sun was quite darkened.
A comet appeared a whole year together adding forth its beams like swords.
The heavens seemed all the flame and several other medias fell.
Nowadays we automatically dismiss this evidence from a bygone era
as fanciful, exaggerated and primitive.
But there's bigger questions here. Could these cosmic dramas
that influence weather also be driving plagues,
locusts, inundations, earthquakes and the very wars of mankind.
And the big unanswered question, comets.
Historically, always feared in man's history of legends.
If a comet can hit Jupiter, Shoemaker-Levy 9,
or a comet can cause the Sun to have a massive CME,
could not they too be involved in this cosmic drama
that affects weather, plague and earthquakes.
Unanswered questions needing more investigation.
