The Prion Hypothesis: A Technocratic Tool for Deindustrialization?

In an industrial society, the strength and resilience of the population is critical. Industry requires healthy, energetic workers to build infrastructure, maintain systems, and fuel economic growth. This need for robust human labor incentivizes governments and corporations to support general public health—at least to the extent that the working population remains productive.

But what happens when a society transitions away from industry—when automation, artificial intelligence, and high-tech systems have rendered human labor obsolete? In such a post-industrial reality, people are no longer a critical resource but an expendable burden. And if the goal becomes not to build but to reduce, reshape, or control populations, then a silent, slow-acting method of attrition might be ideal.

This is where the controversial theory of prion-like diseases as a depopulation tool emerges.

White Fibrous Clots and Prion-Like Behavior

For the last four years, embalmers worldwide have reported an unusual phenomenon: the appearance of large, white fibrous clots in the veins and arteries of the deceased. According to the 2024 Worldwide Embalmer Blood Clot Survey, authored by Tom Haviland and hosted on Laura Kasner's Substack Clotastrophe, 83% of embalmers surveyed said they observed these clots in corpses in 2024. The average rate of such clots among all embalmed corpses was 27.5%, suggesting a persistent and significant trend.

More alarming still is the suggestion that these clots may exhibit prion-like characteristics. A prion is a misfolded protein that can cause other proteins to misfold, leading to degenerative diseases. Unlike viruses or bacteria, prions are extremely difficult to detect, destroy, or neutralize. If the fibrous clots are composed of such material, they could—at least theoretically—be infectious, contaminating blood supplies and exposing medical professionals, embalmers, and even patients through transfusion.

A Method of Controlled Attrition

If a technocratic elite wished to subtly reduce the global population without triggering mass panic or direct accountability, a slow-acting prion mechanism would be effective. Rather than causing immediate death, such a process would weaken cardiovascular efficiency, reduce oxygen supply, impair energy levels, and promote chronic illness.

Such a condition would:

Drain public health resources
Undermine reproductive health
Reduce physical capability and social engagement
Increase mortality slowly but consistently

This would allow depopulation to occur under the guise of mystery illnesses, heart disease, or post-viral syndromes, with minimal blame attached to any single event or policy.

Institutional Silence and Plausible Deniability

Despite increasing anecdotal and photographic evidence of these clots, most funeral director associations, universities, and government bodies have either refused to investigate or actively distanced themselves from the issue. The 2024 survey notes a decline in participation from associations that had previously acknowledged the phenomenon. Why this silence?

One answer may be found in institutional self-preservation. Many of the same entities who now refuse to engage also heavily promoted or mandated the COVID-19 vaccines, after which these clots began appearing. Acknowledging the issue may implicate them in a wider health scandal.

The Watchmen on the Wall

In the face of institutional indifference, Haviland and Kasner see themselves as modern-day watchmen, invoking Ezekiel 33:1–4:

"When he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people."

Their message is simple: if these fibrous clots are real and spreading, and if they are tied to a broader prion-like process, then the public has a right to know—before the damage becomes irreversible.
