Dames continued: “Now, let me tell you what’s going to happen vis-à-vis these particles. You’re familiar<br />
with the idea that comets produce meteor showers? The comet goes away and then in the ensuing months<br />
you have meteor showers. The meteor showers are a result of debris that breaks off from the comet as it<br />
passes through the Solar System, and then Earth passes through that debris and we have meteor showers...<br />
“Well, the meteor showers that will be associated with Hale-Bopp are going to be of a very interesting type<br />
because they’re bringing in a plant pathogen.” Pathogens are microorganisms or viruses that can cause<br />
disease. “An engineered plant pathogen. And that plant pathogen... will actually lay a swath across,<br />
initially, equatorial Africa. And it will quickly infect anything that’s green, beginning with trees, and the<br />
equatorial region will act as an incubator. And this pathogen... will spread like wildfire, just like the science<br />
fiction book Andromeda Strain... and will start to eliminate everything that is green.”<br />
“These are airborne pathogens, so they will spread to all the continents very quickly, and that means lots of<br />
green things will disappear. There will be no food for cattle. There will be no food for milk cows. You’ll<br />
have massive starvation in Africa and other third-world countries, and I mean massive. It is very grim.<br />
“Then the green things in the forest will begin to die and all of the food that we eat will go away. We’ll turn,<br />
of course, to the oceans and we’ll fish the oceans out.<br />
“The Earth is sick. It has a disease. It needs an antibiotic... We forget that we are the disease on Earth’s<br />
surface.”<br />
Now, up until this point, Art Bell had been listening rather patiently, but you knew he had also been thinking<br />
when he asked, “You know what you’re describing, Ed?” To which Ed Dames responded, “Wormwood.<br />
And that’s what’s coming Art, and that’s what’s here.”<br />
Major Ed Dames continued, “We have a global economic collapse right around the corner beginning mid<br />
1998. When we look at the global economic collapse, it is not from war, and it’s not from anything else.<br />
It’s from a lack of food.”<br />
At this point Dames began to speculate, as he put it. “Let’s say that Earth is a garden. Let’s say that, as far<br />
as man is concerned, the gardener harvests souls... If the garden is being destroyed... a point may be<br />
reached where you till the garden under.”<br />
After some discussion, Art Bell asked if this situation is irreversible? Major Dames responded by saying,<br />
“It’s out of our hands right now... We’re going to be beset by disease as, immunologically, our immune<br />
systems are suppressed. We are going to have lots of dying babies because there’s going to be no milk.<br />
And Africa is going to get it first. And this will begin... a little more than a year from now... It’s tailored to<br />
eliminate Earth’s disease: Us!<br />
“This pathogen appears to run its course in about three years.” When Art Bell asked if Ed Dames knew off<br />
hand how many people would get “plowed under”, Major Dames said that 80-85 percent of the world’s<br />
population would not survive this.<br />
