I'll keep the comments on the methods very short but the good stuff is after that. You don't want to miss it. The paper mentions using agar plate which is a petri dish with nutrients but also can have antibiotics to influence growth. Here's direct quote from paper: "The upper surface of the plate was first washed with water and then with a strong solution of mercuric bichloride”. Mercury? Really. Why? The paper also mentions trypsin which is a protein digesting enzyme but it's not clear where or if this was used. So the virology game started way back then. The process of adding toxins to the mix then injecting that substance into plant or animal tissue is faulty science. Also was there control studies showing another plant in the same soil, same environment, and injected with the same toxic materials minus the infected leaf parts. But I guess some will say, well that's just the way they do it.
Now the fun stuff. I researched a bit on tobacco. Here’s highlights. It is believed that tobacco began growing in the Americas in 6000 B.C. In 1492, American Indians gifted tobacco to Christopher Columbus. During the 1600s, tobacco was literally “as good as gold”. So needless to say, tobacco was a very important crop. But I could not find anything written about past dying plants or harvesting problems, until 1879. From Wikipedia on Adolf Mayer. “In 1879, while Mayer held the position of the director of the Agricultural Experiment Station at Wageningen in the Netherlands, he was asked by Dutch farmers to study a peculiar disease affecting the tobacco plant.” So, seems 1879 is the first year that we are seeing problems in the tobacco plant.
So then I think, what else was going on around 1879. I came upon articles on the pesticide, Paris Green. From Wikipedia, “Paris green may be prepared by combining copper(II) acetate and arsenic trioxide. In 1867, farmers in Illinois and Indiana found that Paris green was effective against the Colorado potato beetle, an aggressive agricultural pest. Despite concerns regarding the safety of using arsenic compounds on food crops, Paris green became the preferred method for controlling the beetle. By the 1880s, Paris green had become the first widespread use of a chemical insecticide in the world.[11] It was also used widely in the Americas to control the tobacco budworm.” Let’s repeat, by the 1880s, Paris Green first widespread use in the WORLD.
Well WOW!. I think I stumbled upon something here. Paris Green was specifically used on tobacco plants in America in 1867. And used around the world. Are you guys seeing it yet? It's all about poisons. 6000 years of no problems growing tobacco until we start spraying them with arsenic based pesticides. Did it take 6000 years for a virus to show up or does it make more sense that we were poisoning the plants with poisonous chemicals? To me, the poison theory makes way more sense. Oh, and the polio disease started in the United States in 1894. Again, did a new paralyzing virus suddenly appear? We don't know because there is no proof of the actual virus. But we do know for a fact that, starting in the late 1800s, toxic and deadly chemicals were produced and sprayed around the world. Arsenic has been linked to paralysis. Again coincidence? I think not.
