STORIA DELLA PESTE da morte nera ad arma biologica
Agli inizi dell'anno 1330, dal punto di vista climatico, si ebbe ciò che fu definita una "piccola glaciazione". Cominciarono annualità consecutive di grandi piogge accompagnate dal freddo, umidità ed aumento dei ghiacciai. Il freddo impediva la maturazione e la raccolta del grano, l'umidità impediva la formazione del sale, indispensabile nel medioevo per conservare la carne, scarsa la produzione di cereali. Inevitabilmente fu crisi dell'agricoltura, i contadini spinti da miseria e carestia lasciavano i campi riversandosi nelle città in cerca di benessere. Villaggi interi restarono disabitati. I feudatari, ricchi proprietari terrieri, perdono di conseguenza il loro potere economico derivante unicamente dalla terra. La produzione agricola risulta inesistente. Crollano i consumi, la manodopera, crolla anche il mercato immobiliare e, con la crisi del commercio e dei mercati, inizia il fallimento delle banche. Nessuno era preparato a tale eventualità, si diffuse il panico.

Successively this therapy came in Europe and, beyond for use in the form of an ointment / poultice, the mercury was widely used in fumigation.

In Venice the prostitutes were forced to walk with a yellow handkerchief around the neck like sign of acknowledgment. It was the sexual abstinence that the Church adopted as a remedy in order to avoid such disease and Pope Paul IV, around to the half of the '500, decreed with an edict an evicting from Rome and all the Papal State of the prostitutes.
HERESY AND SCIENCE IN THE MIDDLE AGES
The first of June 1310, in Paris, the heart of medieval culture, to the mill the Saint-Antoine, after the burning of 54 Templars sentenced for heresy, Margherite la Porete was burnt alive as heretic together with his book "The miroir des simples âmes" (the mirror of simple souls), of which the Church ordered the destruction............. The originality of the "Mirror" is to devise a new form of self-consciousness, inconceivable for a woman in this dark period, which inevitably will lead to individual freedom, characteristic of modern culture. Marguerite proclaim with force and not give up his ideas, thereby sacrificing his own life at stake.

A terroristic attack could be put in action to means of crews of mass destruction, of chemical products, therefore like by means of crews of biological nature which virus, bacteria and other germs. In case of attack with use of products chemical and/or radioactive , the effects would be immediate.
