A ground squirrel collected in Riverside County by authorities tested positive for plague bacteria. 

The squirrel was captured and tested last month at a campground north of Idyllwild, located in the San Jacinto Mountains in Southern California, reported CNN.  Routine tests are completed because the plague is endemic to the area. 

Plague is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis.  People can become infected with the plague by handling infected animals, or by being bitten by a flea carrying the bacterium, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  The plague causes serious illness or death, although antibiotics are effective, if victims are treated promptly.

According to the CDC, over 80% of plague cases in the United States have been the bubonic form. 

Earlier this year in May, another squirrel captured in Cedar Groves Group Campground in the Palomar Mountain State Park, San Diego, also tested positive for the plague. 

In September, an Oregon man and woman became infected with the bubonic plague while trying to take a mouse out of the throat of the man's cat.  The woman wished to remain anonymous.  The man, Paul Gaylord of Portland, Oregon, nearly died and had to have the tips of his fingers and toes removed, as they turned black from the "black death" infection.

Seven-year-old Sierra Jane Downing of Colorado nearly died last month after becoming infected with the plague when she buried a dead squirrel while camping with her parents in Pagosa, Colorado. 

The CDC will only publish the fact that between 10 - 100 people were infected with the plague in the United States from 2000 - 2009.  Now those statistics are very vague, wouldn't you say?  Why do you suppose there is such anonymity with regard to the stats, when the CDC knows exactly how many plague cases have been reported in the United States?  Could it be that they don't want to alarm anyone?  Could it be that they would rather see people die of the plague, as to be alarmed enough to not take unnecessary risks?  With depopulation on the priority list of the New World Order, I believe that's the case.  A CDC map does show that the following states are more widely affected by the plague than other states in the US: Northern New Mexico, Northern Arizona, Southern Colorado, California, Southern Oregon and Western Nevada. 

Jesus said, "Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, pestilences and earthquakes in various places...So likewise when you see all these things, know that it (His return) is near, even at the doors" Matthew 24:7, 33.
