Who Speaks for the Dead?

“I will not follow where the path may lead, but I will go where there is no path, and I will leave a trail.” -Muriel Strode

I somehow managed to figure out on my own not too long ago that one of the unconscious goals I am accomplishing with this blog is the telling of stories. Not just my stories, but our stories. As long as humans have wandered the terrain of this planet, they have created and shared stories to understand their environment and their interactions with it. But sometimes, in order to tell a story properly, you have to approach it in a counter-intuitive manner; with the obvious plot turns and twists only revealing themselves once the entire tale has been unwrapped. Most of the time, we tell our stories from a starting point, and methodically trace the events to their logical conclusions. This allows for the appearance of a linear progression that illustrates how the story develops over time.

But what if identifying that clearly delineated origin point is more difficult than telling the story itself? Without that defined moment of genesis, is the value of the narrative in any way diminished? I would argue that it is not, and may even make the adventure of telling the story that much more intriguing. In previous compositions, I have done my best to follow the traditional linear narrative structure. This exercise will be a departure from that practice. Instead, we will leave tradition behind, and trace our way backwards through recent history. So maybe not so much abandoning convention, but turning it onto it’s head to see how well it works in reverse, and what that may reveal.

The Most Dangerous Job in the World?

When you were at the point of choosing the career you would pursue in life, did you give consideration to what the potential lethal consequences of that choice would be? Now, if you were examining professions like law enforcement, construction, or even aviation, I would think this would receive direct attention. Even some less apparent occupations, like logistics or agriculture, still have easily perceptible risks in regard to survivability associated with them. After all, a hay baler is much less concerned with keeping you safe from harm than it is with doing the job it was built to perform. Machines are peculiarly single-minded.

But when was the last time you heard a microbiologist talk about the inherent dangers of their profession? When was the last time you remember seeing research scientist listed as one of the most dangerous jobs in the world? Unless you are acquainted with one of these brave individuals personally, my guess would be that your answer to both of those question would be never. Neither one made the list of CNBC’s 10 Most Dangerous Jobs in America in 2019. So they must be relatively safe when compared with other occupations, right? Actually, let’s worry about answering that question later. Instead, let’s head to St. Petersburg, Russia in December of 2020.

Alexander Kagansky was arguably one of the rising stars of the scientific community, not only in his home country of Russia, but in the wider academic community as well. Colloquially known by the nickname “Sasha,” Kagansky was the director of the Centre for Genomic and Regenerative Medicine at the Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok, and was also a longtime collaborator with the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. Kagansky was one of many scientists whom have dedicated their efforts to the treatment and eventual eradication of cancer, and was an outspoken advocate of using natural herbs and mushrooms for cancer treatment.

Kagansky, who had most recently been contributing to research on the development of a coronavirus vaccine, is reported to have fallen from the balcony of his 14th floor apartment. It would be natural to assume that the impact of falling from such an elevation was the cause of death, and I would normally agree with that assumption, if it weren’t for the fact that Kagansky’s body also had several stab wounds when it was discovered on the street. Local police eventually identified and arrested journalist Igor Ivanov, who claimed to be a childhood friend of Kagansky.

During the administration of a polygraph while in police custody, Ivanov stated that the two friends had been celebrating Kagansky’s recent birthday when the scientist began stabbing himself and then jumped from his own balcony to his untimely death. Which, of course, sounds like perfectly reasonable behavior for someone who had just turned 45 and also recently been the recipient of a government grant to fund his research. Ivanov was released from custody following the polygraph, and further details regarding Kagansky’s untimely demise have been sparse at best.

Prior to Kagansky’s inexplicable birthday behavior, another coronavirus researcher was executed several thousand miles away from St. Petersburg. In May of 2020, professor Bing Liu of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine was found shot dead in his townhouse in Pittsburgh, PA. At the time of his death, Liu had been focused on studying the infectivity of the SARS CoV-2 virus, and was reportedly on the verge of a breakthrough. Anonymous colleagues reported that Liu was “making very significant findings toward understanding the cellular mechanisms that underlie SARS-CoV-2 infection…” Liu was found by local police with multiple bullet wounds to his head, neck, torso and extremities.

HIV researcher Gita Ramjee delivered a lecture at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine in March of 2020. Upon returning to her home in South Africa, it was reported that Ramjee began to feel unwell, was hospitalized, and eventually died on March 31. Her death was attributed to coronavirus, but then again, we have since learned that many of the deaths initially attributed to this alleged virus likely had other more credible medical explanations. At the time of her death, Ramjee was the principal investigator of the Clinical Trials Unit for the greater Durban area in South Africa. The CTU would eventually participate in trials to test the efficacy of the coronavirus experimental gene therapy injections.

On February 4, 2020, Dr. Frank Plummer allegedly suffered a heart attack and died while on a trip to Kenya for the 40th anniversary of the HIV research collaboration. Plummer was the recipient of the isolated virus that causes MERS(Middle East Respiratory Syndrome), another pathogen from the SARS coronavirus family, in 2013. The virus is alleged to have been smuggled out of Saudi Arabia to make its way to the Canadian facility. Plummer is reported to have been involved in experimentation with the original SARS virus, as well as the engineered HIV-CoV virus, at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg.

It is worth noting that Plummer’s employer, NML, has had it’s share of strange stories and unfavorable commentary. In July of 2019, Chinese researcher Xiangguo Qiu and her husband were detained by Canadian authorities, and subsequently terminated from employment at the lab. Another researcher, Geoff Soule, is rumored to have disappeared at around the same time after more than 20 years of service at the lab. Both were under Plummer’s direct supervision. Dr. Plummer’s work also attracted attention and funding from non-governmental sources. Prior to his death in Kenya, Plummer had secured a grant of $8.3 million for research from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Maybe you remember this one: on July 2, 2019, molecular biologist Suzanne Eaton was attending a conference in Greece when she was reported missing by colleagues. Her body was found six days later. On July 11, hoping to elicit tips from the public, local police released that Eaton had been murdered by strangulation, and that multiple perpetrators may have been involved. Then, on July 16, a local man allegedly confessed to raping and murdering Eaton while she was out for a run, and stashing her body in a cave that could only be accessed by a ventilation shaft. The details of this crime provided by the news media appear dubious at best, and sloppy and deliberately misleading at worst. Suzanne Eaton was 59.

An article from NBC News at the time states that Eaton was connected to the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology & Genetics in Dresden, Germany, which is a branch of the formerly named Kaiser Wilhelm Society that was instrumental in the human experimentation that occurred in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany. The article points out that Eaton was a leader in her field at the institute, as well as an avid runner and a black belt in taekwondo. This, to me, begs the question of how a person who was admittedly athletic and knowledgeable in self-defense could have so easily become a victim of random violence. But then again, it is more difficult to defend against something when you don’t see it coming at you.

Mark E. Shirtliff, a professor in the department of Microbial Pathogenesis at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, lost his life in a rafting accident in Montana in July of 2018. Shirtliff had most recently been developing technology that would be capable of identifying some of the most virulent strains of bacteria, including staph aureus, which has been demonstrated to cause respiratory infections in some cases. Many of Shirtliff’s colleagues have remarked about his relentless pursuit of knowledge in early identification of potentially deadly pathogens.

In addition to his work as an instructor and researcher, Shirtliff was also an entrepreneur who founded the company Serenta Biotechnology, and served as it’s chief scientific officer. Before his death, Shirtliff had invented a vaccine technology that UM Baltimore licensed to Serenta. Shirtliff’s co-founder in this venture was Anushri Singhvi, who was a former project manager at Merck that supported the development and licensure of the HPV vaccine Gardasil, and had previously been employed by AstraZeneca. Serenta’s chairman, Florian Schodel, had also spent time in Merck’s employ as the Vice President for Clinical Research.

In April of 2018, Aaron Traywick‘s body was discovered in a spa on Massachusetts Ave in downtown Washington, D.C. Reports about the discovery of his body have varied from being found “face down” in a spa room to being found in an flotation tank. He was 28 at the time. Traywick was a well known health and lifestyle coach, and even founded the company Ascendance Biomedical despite apparently not possessing a background in medicine. Traywick was a unyielding proponent of holistic medicine and what he referred to as “biohacking;” or, the ability of an individual to alter their biology though a variety of mechanisms – including surgeries and unlicensed therapies.

Traywick was also an outspoken critic of Big Pharma, and even claimed to have discovered a cure for AIDS. This brought him to the attention of Elizabeth Taylor, who eventually featured him on her own website dedicated to funding research to eradicate this disease. Following Traywick’s death, his promotion through Taylor’s website was taken down, and appears to have been completely scrubbed from the internet. Archive.org does not currently show a single record of it ever having existed. In a Vice article from May of 2018, one of his colleagues at Ascendance claimed that Traywick had become estranged from the company shortly before his death due to disagreements about the company’s future direction.

That brings us to the bizarre story of Timothy Cunningham, whom you may or may not also remember being in the news, just like Suzanne Eaton. Cunningham was an expert on contagious epidemics for the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention in Atlanta, GA, and had been instrumental in the CDC’s responses to the Ebola and Zika outbreaks in the decade of the 2010s. Cunningham made national headlines in February 2018 when he left work early one day, allegedly due to an illness, and never returned. Family and co-workers of the Harvard graduate became concerned when Cunningham failed to respond to any communication attempts. He was 35 at the time.

After visiting Cunningham’s home and finding it empty, Atlanta police began a search that lasted for several weeks until his body was finally recovered from the Chattahoochee river in early April. Cunningham’s cause of death was determined by the medical examiner to be drowning, even though he was former Navy and a capable swimmer, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution. A spokesman for the Atlanta Fire Department stated that the area of the river where his body was found had been previously searched weeks before. Cunningham had also recently resigned from his position with the U.S. Public Health Service deployment team, where he was due for a service award in June of that same year.

The AJC article explains that Cunningham was very close with his sister Tiana, and that they spoke with each other often. Tiana claimed that he sounded paranoid on their final phone conversation, and intimated that his last words to her on that call were “you have to figure things out for yourself.” There were also allegations that Cunningham was struggling with his sexual identity, although these claims have not been substantiated in any meaningful way other than anecdotally. The article also states that Cunningham was a leader in the Epidemiology and Surveillance branch of the CDC’s Division of Population Health.

Where this particular story begins to get really strange is that Cunningham is reported to have filed a whistleblower report shortly before his disappearance. That report, to the best of my knowledge, has never seen the light of day. ArkRepublic reported that Cunningham had meet with representatives of yournewswire.com(now defunct) in December of 2017 regarding information that he had proving the CDC knew about a link between the flu vaccine and excess deaths during the 2017/18 flu season. This meeting took place after a new assignment for Cunningham where he was said to have learned that a Japanese biotech firm had invented a method for preventing infections in humans from viruses.

In 2016, the Bioterrorism Coordinator at NML in Winnipeg was reported to have suffered a mental breakdown and run screaming through the halls of the building. That woman was Sky Soule. Soule was apparently in a state of such mental distress that she had to be cornered and subdued by security officers before being escorted from the facility. Obviously, this was when Soule’s employment at the lab ended. Two months after this event, Soule was reported to have fallen down a flight of stairs, resulting in a coma and eventually death on December 27, 2016. Details about these occurrences are scant at best, although other employees at the facility have regularly reported bullying and harassment from senior management at the lab.

But Wait… There’s More

Taken separately, these incidents could be considered as isolated occurrences. However, the further you begin to trace this particular timeline backwards, the more data points begin to fall into place sychronistically. An article published by the Millennium Report at the end of 2017 chronicles the strange deaths and/or disappearances of 80 microbiologists between 1994 and 2006. Granted, there were also many other scientists that passed under less than suspicious circumstances in the same time. But when we break down the numbers, we find that almost 6 of these deaths per year in this specific occupational class involve questionable elements during that time period.

Joseph Farrell, writing in an article for Giza Death Star right before the scam-demic officially kicked off, offers a potential connection to tie all of these curious losses of life together; including some dating back to the 1980s. Farrell hypothesizes “they all have one thing in common: they were all either warning of the weaponization of vaccines or food, or were actively involved in it…” Given what we all have been subjected to over the course of the last 6 months with the heavy propagandizing of the experimental gene therapy injections by governments around the world, it would appear that Farrell might be on to something with this proposition.

And as I was getting this draft ready for publication, news emerged out of Canada relating to events at the NML facility in Winnipeg in July 2019. Members of the Canadian parliament have apparently been attempting to discover exactly what occurred at the lab that resulted in the federal removal and detainment of Xiangguo Qiu, the Chinese researcher that is alleged to have stolen samples of the Ebola and Nipah viruses and sent them to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Officially, this has always been termed an “administrative” matter. It would seem logical then that a person who had been acting in a supervisory role at the facility might be able to shed some light on this incident. That exact person would be Dr. Frank Plummer, who died of an alleged heart attack in Kenya in February 2020.

Leaving the Trail

So what exactly are we looking at here? It would appear that we have a trail of highly-specialized bodies that stretches back into recent history for at least four decades. A collection of men and women considered by their peers to be experts in their fields that, taken together as a whole, would encompass a vast amount of knowledge about how human beings interact with the world around us at a cellular level. With the times we currently find ourselves in, my thought is that knowledge could have proven invaluable.

While all the scientists I highlighted have provided the public with a considerable amount of information through their career publications, each of them also took information to their graves that the rest of us will now never be privy to. After all, as the saying goes, dead men(and women) tell no tales. But this story does not end when the final clumps of dirt are tossed onto the burial mound. These are just the most accessible examples of a phenomenon that has thus far escaped prolonged scrutiny, or may even be the result of deliberate obfuscation. I suspect that as the narrative of the coronavirus scam-demic continues to unravel, and revelations begin to pile up regarding the actual origin of the alleged virus, we are likely to see this list grow; just like it has for more than four decades.

My hope is that we are able to put this story on the shelf, and chalk it up as one of the most astounding cases of concurrence in human history. Not that such an explanation would satisfy curious minds; there will also be those confident individuals who will present correlation as if it were equal to causation. But my concern is that this is an emergent pattern intended to accomplish a specific purpose. Whatever each of these individuals knew, but hadn’t yet shared with the world, is now lost to the rest us. What would they have to say about these times of ours?
