Thousands of historic books are in jeopardy over a massive bug infestation that could annihilate centuries-long of historical records.
The Pannonhalma Archabbey in Hungary is a Benedictine monastery that is working to save books from drugstore beetles, according to The Associated Press (AP).

Just spray the books with DDT. That will get rid of the bugs.
Bag the building and fumigate it.
(Gee, we could do that to buildings in D.C.)
That’s OK, its not like the kids will let themselves be exposed to any idea thats not their own anyway. They may as well be bug food because the next generation will not use them for anything else.

History has, eh, historically been written by the winners, it has been said.
But at least THEN it wasnt being revised and cancelled and faked every minute of every hour of every day as it is now…
Maybe they will find the Epstein list in there…..

Had earwigs in the document archives at a well known aerospace manufacturer in the Pacific Northwest. They brought in refrigerator vans loaded the docs and froze them for a few days.
