As my friends know, one of my favorite conspiracy conjectures — which I lovingly bring up at awkward social moments, to fondle intellectually and perhaps too publicly — is that [some of] the elites in the Deep State and the Davos crowd know that a huge natural holocaust is coming, that it would likely destroy the bulk of civilization, and that it would be a mercy to kill off vast swaths of humanity more slowly, prior to that chaotic event.
How? Say through a planned rollout of pseudo-vaccines that make us weaker and prone to spread-out deaths via bloodclots, autoimmune disease, and the like.
And what would this natural holocaust be? A surge of solar energy is the most likely candidate. Knowledge of a cyclical recurrence of comet hits might suggest the same strategy.
This is not just outrageous speculation. Terrestrial hits of solar bursts are unpredictable but not uncommon on a long time-line. Evidence for them is accumulating — they are not just limited to the infamous Carrington Event of 1859. A recent article at Astronomy.com relates evidence of a massive solar storm many thousands of years ago, as the pre-pottery neolithic (PPN) was reaching a tipping point in accumulating capital — something perhaps necessary for civilization to take off. The article’s blurb: “An analysis of radioactive chemicals in ice cores indicates one of the most powerful solar storms ever hit Earth around 7176 B.C.” The article links to a scholarly paper published in January, “Cosmogenic radionuclides reveal an extreme solar particle storm near a solar minimum 9125 years BP.” It is fascinating.
Other extraterrestrial events are being studied and categorized as well — I’ve mentioned the Holocene Impact Working Group before. In the paper “A Tunguska sized airburst destroyed Tall el-Hammam a Middle Bronze Age city in the Jordan Valley near the Dead Sea,” the truth about Sodom and Gomorrah came out last year: a bolide event destroyed a city near the Dead Sea c. 1650 BC. This fits the Biblical timeline. More important is evidence of massive destruction at the Abu Hureyra site in Syria: this event c. 10,800 BC. This fits the Younger Dryas timeline, and is a few thousand years earlier than the PPN.
And note: isn’t it interesting that the eruption of Thera/Santorini happened within a century of the destruction of Sodom/Gomorrah? Ralph Ellis’s contention that the Santorini event corresponds to the first Exodus, arguing that the “parting of the Red Sea” describes classic tsunami behavior, and that the historical record of the event can be found on a well-known stela in Egypt, hidden in plain sight.
But back to my conjecture about our elites: Arguably, it’s not “mercy” alone that would have the elites kill off the “superfluous” populations. The chaos of mass death on a multi-billion population planet might preclude the elites from reaching their bunkers in time to wear out the maelstrom. But had the population already been radically reduced in number and spirit over years of death and anguish and sorrow — from, say, iatrogenic effects of the recent pandemic — then maybe the elites could make their getaways.
What I am suggesting is that the celestial coup de grâce (solar surge; comet hit; what-have-you) might make for less civilizational destruction — fewer riots, mostly — allowing for the rich folks (Hollywood moguls, tech company heads, politicians, billionaires, scientists, a few athletes — insert Dr. Strangelove arguments here) to make their escape into the underground bunkers.
The elites are contemplating a new Ark. What with the military’s vast empires of underground installations already in place, the Ark, I hazard, has already been made, and the plan is in place. And folks like Fauci and Schwab and Gates and others are likely in on it.
I of course merely speculate; I know nothing. But for us science fiction readers, well: some of us assume that when we imagine possibilities, well-funded people make plans.
