this practice.
Charles Maitland is granted a royal license to perform a
trial of variolation on six prisoners in Newgate on August 9, 1721.
1722 Charles Maitland successfully variolates
the two daughters of the Princess of Wales.
The procedure gains general
acceptance after this success.
Although only 2% to 3% of variolated
persons die from the disease they became the source of new epidemics of other
diseases (e.g., tuberculosis and syphilis) transmitted by the procedure itself.
Even so variolation rapidly gains popularity among the aristocracy of
Europe.
The case-fatality rate associated with variolation is 10 times
lower than that associated with naturally occurring smallpox.
In Wales,
a Dr. Wright refers to variolation against smallpox in the British Isles as "an
ancient practice".
A citizen of Wales, 99 years old, states that
variolation had been practiced during his entire lifetime, and his mother
stated it was common during her life, as she got smallpox through her
"innoculation".

variolation in Ireland, when a doctor in Dublin variolates 25 people.

their general habits of
cleanliness.

variolated.
1763 Epidemic
of smallpox in France wipes out a large part of the population.
It is
immediately attributed to variolation, and the practice is prohibited by the
French government for five years.
1768 The
medical profession in France is successful in instituting variolation
inoculation.
The word "inoculation" is derived from the Latin inoculare,
meaning "to graft."
Inoculation referred to the subcutaneous
instillation of smallpox virus into nonimmune individuals.
The
inoculator usually used a lancet wet with fresh matter taken from a ripe
pustule of some person who suffered from smallpox.
The material was then subcutaneously introduced on the arms or legs of
the nonimmune person.
1778 Danish physicians move to open two major variolation
inoculation houses in Denmark, by order of the King.
In Italy, infants
are inoculated by Neapolitan nurses without the knowledge of parents bypassing
informed
consent. |

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has
been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This
web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the
Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion based
on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme
leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is
encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer
through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the
spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of the
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior
corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction
of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to
the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction
and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
