In 1918 the "Spanish" Flu was ravaging Alabama very badly. They were worried about the children dying from the pandemic. So, he decided to take his whole family including his wife and four kids from Florence, Alabama to Wichita Falls, Texas in a covered wagon pulled by a pair mules. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71883211 My mother, before she died still remembered riding in the wagon, since she was the smallest child, while the older kids walked. My grandfather was a machinist by trade and later moved on to Port Arthur, TX during the oil boom of the 1920s. There is no such thing as a pandemic. It was chemical contamination of the food supply. "Virus" means POISON. Look it up. You have all been scammed. |

When you see beautiful pictures of Ireland and Wales with their beautiful green open fields as far as you can see, with rock rubble of old stone houses, YOU REMEMBER! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71883211 Those beautiful green fields are there because MILLIONS of starving share cropper families either died during the potato famine or were forced to immigrate to Australia, Canada or America as indentured slaves to survive! The land was then just taken over by huge land owners that were mostly English aristocrats! I see those beautiful pictures of the Irish countryside and it makes my blood boil. I could never go to Ireland today. It would be too painful to see. Same as uk mainland 'land held in common', and its roots, implications. Except the UK actually CAUSED the famines in Ireland and Wales. |

Yes it’s not REAL hardship to lose your business or job... my mom’s friend is getting a lung transplant because of (they say) the Covid. The people in my city line up for miles and miles to get food. What because they have cars now it’s not hardship? Who the fuck are you buddy? Have you never struggled in your life?

People don’t realize how lucky we really are. Electricity, running water, grocery stores, automobiles, the list goes on and on. We are blessed to have all these things, by far the easiest (convenient) time to be alive in human history. I’ll be damned if I just hand it over, we work hard for our lives today, we cannot let the communist mindset and one world order take over. If we do, we’ll get a pretty good taste of what it was like for people hundreds of years ago. Thanks for this thread OP. It’s a nice reminder of how thankful we should be. Floridian.

Aspirin overdose was the major killer during the spanish flu epidemic. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79789227 Right. Well, actually it was a combination of the then new wonder drug, Bayer aspirin, with the Cytokine storm. In other words, just taking aspirin made the Cytokine storm worse. A Cytokine storm is the main cause of death with these flu-like pandemics. That includes this current pandemic.

How did that keep the family from getting sick ? You didn't even explain it lol Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73445971 From what I understand, because there was very little travel to the western plains in those times, the pandemic had not spread to West Texas. At least not to pandemic levels. The pandemic today has spread over the whole world simply because of mass travel (cars, trains, airplanes). Back then there were no planes and few trains, with none in that area of West Texas and the only roads were dirt trails. So, you could run from the virus back then. That is not possible today. “The pandemic today “ what pandemic tool. |

[link to www.vaccinationinformationnetwork.com (secure)] Vaccines Caused 1918 “Spanish Flu” Which Killed Millions US Vaccines Caused ‘Spanish Flu’ “It was a common expression during the war that “more soldiers were killed by vaccine shots than by shots from enemy guns.”–E. McBean “The 1918 ‘Spanish Flu’ started in American military Camp Funston, Fort Riley, USA, amongst troops making ready for W.W.I – taking on board vaccinations, recruit training and all. It eventually killed about 40,000,000 people worldwide. That flu strain only appeared briefly once again, according to the US Atlanta CDC. This was in 1976 and again it struck at the US army camp Fort Dix, USA, amongst recently vaccinated troops (and no one else EVER); Fort Dix is known to have been a vaccine trial centre. Was the world’s greatest ‘influenza’ scourge another well-hidden vaccine disaster?”—John P Heptonstall |

Before The Revolutionary War in the early 1700s both sides of my ancestry came from Ulster Northern Ireland (Protestant) and also from Wales. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71883211 They were all iron workers, coal miners and machinists. Short, stout, huge arms and always ready to fight anybody. Today these same ancestors are engineers, cooks, drunks, pilots, drug addicts, truck drivers and school teachers. And none of them know anything at all about their family history or even care... You're the cousin of the catholic demon verticlian woman my father married, his forth wife, who took my youth and everything from me. I just thought you should know that. Because of her and all the other bitches with their hands in my mentally ill fathers pockets, I sit alone, unloved for a lifetime. She took the family fortune and I don't even have medical attention or basic human needs met while she lives in luxury on the west coast. I suppose you are also DAR, but I won't go these for the sake of the dumb asses here who have no idea what you or I are talking about. I hope it gratifies everyone involved, from the Pedo Porn uncles, to the Trust, that they destroyed me and my sister for mammon and power. Power to do what I have no idea; to pass on the ill gotten queens gold to her son. I'd give it all up to know why I have been a target for a lifetime. I'd like to know exactly who my father was and why he was so important to the elite, and why they continue to torment me. |

My Welsh family sailed to Philadelphia as part of William Penn's English Royal land grant that later became known as Pennsylvania. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71883211 He came as an indentured farm worker. After working off his indentured service(several years), he was given free land down in South Carolina if he agreed to harvest "Naval Stores" for the Penn Plantation Colony up north. All wooden sailing ships used to need to be caulked with cotton and pine tar pitch to seal the ship hulls. He and many others would harvest pine tar from Yellow Pines in SC by cutting deep channels in the pine trees to collect the pine sap. That pine sap was then turned into pitch or pine tar and also distilled into turpentine. It took him and his family several years to earn the title to the land in SC. Fuck your family bitch |
