The Horrors of Plum Island | Hybrids, Human Experiments and Weaponized Killer Insects
Added 2023-09-28 03:15:18 +0000 UTC
In July 2008, the carcass of an animal washed up on the beach at Montauk Point Long Island. Local beachcombers are used to seeing dead animals. Seagulls, fish, crabs, even the occasional whale. But they had never seen anything like this.
Animal experts were brought in to identify it. They were stumped. It looked like part dog, part reptile and part rodent - with the beak of a bird. This animal, whatever it was, became known as the Montauk Monster.
But where did the Monster come from?
There could be only one answer. Plum Island.
Plum Island is just a few miles from where the monster was found.
Locals had heard rumors that this was a top-secret government facility that created bioweapons, engineered animal hybrids and maybe even experimented on people.
Sounds like a wild theory.
But then another animal washed up on the beach. Again, it couldn't be identified. And then another animal. And then two more.
In 2010, the *rumors* about Plum Island seemed to be true when something else was found on the beach. This time it wasn't a strange animal. It was a body. A human body.
Well... it was almost human.
Scary, scary

Most weeks they do post early here on Patreon on Thursday or Wednesday but sometimes with editing they can’t do it and you get it when the show starts at 6 PM Pacific time on YouTube

Hey everyone….. i’m not sure the schedule any more (now that it’s changed). Does anybody know when the next video will be up and will it be here on Patreon or will it be on YouTube (where I usually watch it)? Thank you so much.❤️

That was actually kind of odd. I unplugged my computer ethernet cable and I put my phone in airplane mode, but I forgot about my old XR, which does not have phone service at all, but was still connected to the Wi-Fi and it got the alert. they said they were going to do it to cell phones, TVs and radio but apparently it was coming through the Internet Interesting. So I took my phone out of airplane mode at 1:28pm central and about 10 seconds later the alert sounded on it. Gonna give computer 30 min and rehook it up and see what happens

Which reminds me, in the show with all the ticks, I half expected AJ to do a quasi X-Files thing and the cockroach episode and at some point towards the end of the show have a tick walk across the screen. Do you even think of doing that and decide not to?

Totally off-topic, but did anybody catch the article about the test on Wednesday 220pmEastern, they’re going to send an emergency broadcast to every cell phone radio and TV and oh my, the conspiracy theories are what this is all about everything from activating spike proteins to zombie apocalypse - still might turn my phone off though

I can't speak for the US, but working on some labs in the U.K. , the security around the design for these facilities is quite stringent. However theoretically speaking........ what a design consultant puts on a drawing and what is actually built may be different especially if the client is looking to cut costs.

anyone remember the song Bring Back Leroy Brown by Queen? I have for years been singing 'bring back, bring back, bring back back DDT'. we really need to say sorry to the eagles and condors for a couple of years and spray and fog the entire country with DDT again to kill all these nasty bugs, besides, condors and eagles die at a high rate today from flying into windmills and nobody says squat about that. so yea, lets bring back DDT and wipe out west nile, Lyme malaria, and whatever else they carry.

City Island in the Bronx New York was where I used to keep and sail my S2 boat and also where I first learned to sail at New York Sailing Center. The Island has a storied history with Americas Cup races that went on for over a hundred years. The first was “Magic” a 12 meter sailing cup winner and defender. The last was Freedom I believe and in the early nineteen eighties when City Island no longer had any affiliation with the Cup races the U.S. lost the cup and it would seem the Magic ended to. Anyway, while playing in the waters of that lovely place I learned of the lobsterman’s wars over grounds for harvesting the crustaceans , a lucrative business. In those years a strange thing started to happen to lobsters in the waters surrounding Plum Island and the evidence soon spread all over the Long Island Sound, lobsters were developing terrible shell cancers and many were just put back in the water never to be harvested. This hit the lobsterman pretty hard and had an adverse effect on the industry. Very little attention seemed to be paid by media but everyone on City Island knew the circumstances. I’ve no idea what ever became of the blight as I no longer sail there but for a while “Sammys Fish box”, a local Restaurant was watched by all for signs of the problem. Actually everyone knew a lobsterman or someone who did for the real news of the harvesting. Was the problem an escaped disease or pathogen created or worked on in Plum Island military weapons labs we may never know. . Love your channel AJ so keep up the nice what ever it is your doing as long as you can please. Hey, maybe Hekelfish can do a deep dive on the Island for the first hand fish stories or lobster tails. Lol Happy Days all

These are terrible - but non of them have had the devastation they had on life, death and economy as covid 19. And you brushed that off. Are you scared of or compromised by the Chinese? Or are you one of those who dislikes USA so much that you think calling others bad distracts from that message. As someone who lost his loved ones to Covid, I am disappointed by your dishonesty. Shame on you.. learn some honesty from your fish.

Another cracker! Incredibly eye opening indeed. I remember the FnM outbreak in the UK. It still makes farmers tremble with fear. Even to this day, it is standard practise to disinfect boots if you are visiting a variety of cattle farms (former environmental health and department officer). As per usual, the private sector is stringently covered in red tape and safety, yet it seems the government ethos is 'Do as I say, not as I do.'... Just another Tuesday!

Oh, damn. This is such an important episode. Thank you, AJ and WF team. People need to know that the government and unelected officials have been, and are, very capable of experimenting on humans. Pure evil. It's vital people wake up and really look at what's going on. Those of us who have clearly seen the truth of the events these last few years are beyond horrified. As always, Hecklefish points out the obvious. Lol! Maybe on the podcast you can someday investigate the depopulation conspiracy....just curious…I’d love to hear the truth. 😊
