Wierd stuff happens all the time, and it will keep happening until the end of time.

[The Journeyman]

The autopsies on the birds showed brain hemorrhages and broken backs, which seem oddly similar to the symptoms of nerve gas exposure. Maybe some North Korean chemical weapon was sent in as a show of force? A similar incident happened in China in 2004 where even more birds fell from the sky.

If it was a weapon, it wouldn't just hit birds. Those "symptoms" are also what happen when they hit something while moving fast.

The birds that fell from the sky. Were they not exactly the same species?

[The Journeyman]

The workers cleaning up the mess were dawned in protective gas-mask suits. And how do you explain the sheer number of the blackbirds and the other species that died? They couldn't have all been hit by a plane, could they? And what about the 10,000 dead fish in the same state at around the same time?

About a week ago I posted an article linking the Russian report on Corexit EC9500 and the devastation of trees, weeds, plants and flowers in Shelby in Memphis and its possible links to the Gulf Oil spill.

Two new things have emerged ;

1) Birds are fleeing the southern counties

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbGhWlnTq1s&feature=player_embedded


2) bugs and frogs have vanished in the swamps of the south


http://www.stormfront.org/forum/t716948-3/



That would explain why the birds are fleeing, as the insect life has been destroyed and they are seeking food.

If this is true and the incidents are all linked - then America is screwed.

For those saying the Millington chemical plant leak on May 25th, the Lucite facility next to Dupont on Hwy 51 and Fite Road in Millington had a chemical leak of sulfur trioxide, is responsible - then sorry but that is not possible.

1) The leak occurred nearly a week before the incident with the plant - the gas would have long blown over.

2) the amount of gas leaked was tiny, and the plant was evacuated to protect the workers only as required with such leaks - there was no threat to the environment, and people were allowed to return within hours to their homes. If a leak of chemicals was severe enough to kill hundreds of acres of plants, then the town would still be evacuated.

3) The leak in the chemical plant does not explain the devastation of insects and frogs in the south nor the flight of the birds from the area.

Well it's a conspiracy theory, at least.

A bunch of raw petrol got dumped in the largest body of water in the Southern US, and people can't figure out why there's environmental damage?

I think America is in denial about our petroleum dependency, and about what happens when we fiddle about with dangerous chemicals. I will say, though, that the people who think this is some real-life version of The Crazies are themselves the crazies in this discussion.

Sudden falls of frogs, fish and so on are well known meteorological phenomena, recorded from centuries and more ago. They're ALWAYS of one particular species, usually of a particular size too. No cause for alarm, folks! ;)

More animal deaths from Sweden and New Zealand


AROUND 100 birds have been found lying dead on a snow-covered street in southern Sweden's Falkoping.

The deaths came after a string of unexplained animal deaths hit the US and New Zealand, Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported yesterday.

Local veterinarian Robert ter Horst speculated that the birds had fallen from the sky after being frightened by fireworks set off late on Tuesday.

However, the cause of the jackdaws' deaths was disputed after a truck driver claimed he was responsible.

Christer Olofosson, a rescue services worker, said the truck driver claimed he saw about 70 live birds on the road Tuesday, adding, "he ran over the lot of them and did not think it was a big deal, but realised today [Wednesday] that it attracted attention, not only in the Swedish media, but also abroad."
Police told the newspaper the majority of the jackdaws involved were not "physically damaged," which would contradicted the truck driver's account of events.

Horst, who sent the dead birds to Sweden's National Veterinary Institute for analysis, said the driver's theory was "possible," but further examination of the birds was needed before a cause of death could be established.

The Falkoping incident came after a string of unexplained animal deaths in the US and New Zealand.

Some 500 dead birds were found next to a highway northwest of Baton Rouge, La., on Monday, littering a quarter-mile stretch of road. The birds were sent to laboratories for testing, and no cause of death was immediately known.

The carcasses included starlings and blackbirds, the latter the same as the nearly 5,000 birds that plunged to the ground in Beebe, Arkansas, on New Year's Eve.

The mysterious deaths of 100,000 drum fish about 125 miles away were thought to be unrelated.

Similarly, no explanation was reached on the Coromandel Peninsula in New Zealand, where vacationers were shocked when hundreds of dead fish washed ashore

More truth here (http://ronaldweinland.com/).

[SwordoftheVistula]

Maybe something to do with weather fluctuations and the abnormally cold temperatures & weather? Animals used to migrating along the same paths may suddenly find them not survivable.

One other theory I have heard is that the guy in Delaware who was murdered knew something about chemical weapons testing.

Perhaps is related to the missile trail off the coast of California (weapons testing) a month or 2 ago?

[SwordoftheVistula]

Just found this, appears it is in fact weather related:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/wildlife/8239548/Hundreds-more-birds-fall-from-the-sky-this-time-in-Louisiana.html

The United States Geological Survey has reportedly noted 16 incidents in the past 30 years where more than 1,000 black birds have died at the same time, usually the result of tightly-packed flocks flying into bad weather.

The area (southeastern US) has had some unusual winter snowstorms during that time period, first time in over 100 years snow had been seen in many places.

I believe 2012 will be exceptional year. But I don't know what is going to happen.

According to a new study (http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2011/01/03/1014743108.abstract?sid=aeea635f-99a1-4b57-a1d0-d3e46f1f8649) out of the University of Illinois, Urbana, and published in January's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, several bumblebee species that were previously widespread are in peril (via Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE7023P720110103)):
[Researchers] documented a 96 percent decline in the numbers of the four species, and said their range had shrunk by as much as 87 percent. As with honeybees, a pathogen is partly involved, but the researchers also found evidence of inbreeding caused by habitat loss.
"We provide incontrovertible evidence that multiple Bombus species have experienced sharp population declines at the national level," the researchers reported ... calling the findings "alarming."
These are not the only bumblebee species in North America, and several other species have not experienced the same drops. But these four species historically had some of the largest and most widespread populations. The cause of the decline is not fully understood -- it may or may not be caused in part by an Asian parasite -- and it isn't known if the decline is from the bumblebees' version of Colony Collapse Disorder. Perhaps because honeybees are domesticated, while bumblebees are wild pollinators, the honeybee has been studied in much greater detail. But bumblebees are still crucial pollinators for native plants and, as any home gardener will tell you, many a vegetable patch.
The natural world continues to ring alarm bell after alarm bell. And while this study was a bee census more than anything else and demands further research, one would hope that it might serve as a wakeup call to the EPA to stop shilling for industrial pesticides (http://www.grist.org/article/food-2010-12-23-epa-swats-away-bee-killing-pesticide-controversy) that might be harming bees, and to start living up to those first two letters in its name.

FOLLY BEACH, S.C. -- Hundreds of thousands of dead fish littered the sand along a South Carolina beach Thursday morning, stretching in either direction from the Folly Pier near Charleston in a line along the tide wash as far as could be seen. Blackbirds and grackle were picking at them.

State wildlife biologists are responding (to) the menhaden fish kill; early indications are that it’s cold-related, said Phil Maier with the S.C. Department of Natural Resources. The menhaden appear to have been healthy otherwise. Officials at other nearby beaches had no reports of fish kills there.

Pacific Ocean 'dead zone' in Northwest may be irreversible


Oxygen depletion that is killing sea life off Oregon and Washington is probably caused by evolving wind conditions from climate change, rather than pollution, one oceanographer warns.


October 09, 2009 (http://articles.latimes.com/2009/oct/09)|Kim Murphy
CORVALLIS, ORE. — An oxygen-depleted "dead zone" the size of New Jersey is starving sea life off the coast of Oregon and Washington and will probably appear there each summer as a result of climate change, an Oregon State University researcher said Thursday.
The huge area is one of 400 dead zones around the world, most of them caused by fertilizer and sewage dumped into the oceans in river runoff.

http://articles.latimes.com/images/pixel.gif


But the dead zone off the Northwest is one of the few in the world -- and possibly the only one in North America -- that could be impossible to reverse. That is because evolving wind conditions likely brought on by a changing climate, rather than pollution, are responsible, said Jack Barth, professor of physical oceanography at OSU.
"I really think we're in a new pattern, a new rhythm, offshore now. And I would expect [the low-oxygen zone] to show up every year now," Barth said at a news conference.
Thursday's briefing coincided with the release of a National Science Foundation multimedia report that said the number of dead zones worldwide was doubling every decade.
In the Pacific Northwest, the report said, the areas of hypoxic, or low-oxygen, water that long have existed far offshore began to appear closer to land in 2002, a phenomenon that may mean they are even deadlier to sea life that exists near the ocean floor.
Low-oxygen zones are created when large blooms of plankton form on the surface of the ocean, then decay and fall to the sea floor, where further decay eats up the oxygen in the water.
"When oxygen gets too low in the ocean, it has a deleterious effect on organisms," Barth said. "They either have to flee the area, or they get stressed or even die off. Those die-off [areas] are dead zones."
The affected waters of the continental shelf in Oregon and Washington for the most part are not inundated with polluted river runoff; the nutrients that feed the plankton blooms here come from natural sources, Barth said. And researchers believe a change in the flushing movement of water along the coastline may be responsible.
The gradual warming of surface waters across the north Pacific, the report funded by the National Science Foundation said, has tended to isolate deep waters far below the surface -- allowing less oxygen penetration.
There also has been a change in wind patterns, encouraging the upwelling of that low-oxygen water and inhibiting the natural flushing action of water.
"What we're seeing is changes in the oxygen content of the water and the winds that drive the ocean and cause that flushing," Barth said, calling it a "double whammy."
Although it is possible that the phenomenon could be related to cyclical ocean currents and temperatures, Barth said that he was more inclined to believe it was a long-term result of climate change. He said that researchers had scanned records going back to the 1950s and had seen nothing similar to what has appeared every year off the Oregon coast since 2002.
The worst year on record was 2006, when the Pacific Northwest zone saw an area of "anoxia," or virtually no oxygen at all.

[SwordoftheVistula]

Something I suspected: these things happen periodically, but with the internet increasing access to news from around the world, we hear about them a lot more often:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40961721/ns/us_news-environment/?gt1=43001

Federal records show they happen on average every other day somewhere in North America. Usually, we don't notice them and don't try to link them to each other.

"They generally fly under the radar," said ornithologist John Wiens, chief scientist at the California research institution PRBO Conservation Science.

95 mass die-offs
Since the 1970s, the U.S. Geological Survey's National Wildlife Health Center in Wisconsin has tracked mass deaths among birds, fish and other critters, said wildlife disease specialist LeAnn White. At times the sky and the streams just turn deadly. Sometimes it's disease, sometimes pollution. Other times it's just a mystery.

On average, 163 such events are reported to the federal government each year, according to USGS records. And there have been much larger die-offs than the 3,000 blackbirds in Arkansas. Twice in the summer of 1996, more than 100,000 ducks died of botulism in Canada.

"Depending on the species, these things don't even get reported," White said.

Blame technology, says famed Harvard biologist E.O. Wilson. With the Internet, cell phones and worldwide communications, people are noticing events, connecting the dots more.

Wilson and the others say instant communications — especially when people can whip out smart phones to take pictures of critter carcasses and then post them on the Internet — is giving a skewed view of what is happening in the environment.

[KarmaPolice]

Alexander the Great witnessed a similar event towards the end of his life. He saw it as a bad Omen.

Right before trying to invade India, Alexander and his tropps withnessed strange objects comming from the "skies" (outer space?) who disrupted his (enemies) war elephants and which prevented him from further advancing into India. Similar spheric luminous objects where seen in Europe as well (Germany, and Italy...),

It's clear folks, those that our ancestors saw are what some of us have witnessed as "U.F. O's ".

Alexander's advance into India was halted by mutiny. His men were sick and tired of his leadership. They had lost a great deal of their confidence in him during his disastrous debacle in Sogdiana, today's Afghanistan, where he wasted three years and 5,000 lives in accomplishing exactly NOTHING.

By the time they reached India, they finally realised that this madman would never stop until he met himself going the other way. So, they mutinied and demanded that they return whence they had come.

he first recorded incident regarding Alexander the Great and UFO's was recorded in 329BC. Alexander decided to invade India and was attempting to cross the river Indus to engage the Indian army when "gleaming silver shields" swooped down and made several passes over the battle.

These "gleaming silver shields" had the effect of startling his cavalry horses, causing them to stampede. They also had a similar effect on the enemies' horses and elephants so it was difficult to ascertain whose side these "gleaming silver shields" were on. Nevertheless, after exiting the battle
victoriously Alexander decided to not proceed any further into India.

What I have come across indicates that Alexander's men never lost confidence in Alexander's military abilities or his ability to win.

His men are said to have been unhappy with Alexander elevating himself to a god-like status and his erratic behavior. While a friend to his soldiers in his earlier years, his men now feared him.

I do not think it is accurate to say that the Central Asian campaigns were unimportant. These campaigns were necessary to defeat Bessus so as to eliminate his claim to the Persian throne; Bessus was in the process of raising an army of Bactrians and Scythians. Also, Alexander needed to secure his northern border against the Scythians [who wanted revenge against the Macedonians] and other Central Asian tribes. Alexander soundly defeated and subjugated the Scythians and Central Asians which was an impressive achievement given their nomadic, guerilla tactics. Greco-Macedonian settlements were established in the area.

Also, I do not think that the Central Asian campaigns were as big of a factor in making the Macedonians turn back as you seem to suggest. The Macedonians took a number of towns in northwestern India and they were very successful at Hydaspes against Porous. Accounts tell that, heretofore, the Macedonians had not encountered such resistance among other peoples as they did the Indian peoples. It seemed as if the entire Indian populace would fight `tooth and nail' against the Macedonians.

Morse will ungo a mental evaluation, after which we will never hear from him again. After his arrest he told a reporter: "This is all happening because I blew the whistle on the W-76."

Unnamed experts believe that the W-76 will be used in a attempt to divert the asteroid you haven't been told about before it hits on Dec. 21st, 2012. The hidden flaw is being covered up by Jewish profiteers and their minions. Morse's knowledge made him to dangerous to leave free to talk.

Well, one theory (about the deaths of birds and fish) is that the New Madrid fault zone is coming to life. The New Madrid fault zone is six times bigger than the San Andreas fault zone in California and it covers portions of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi. The biggest earthquakes in the history of the United States were caused by the New Madrid fault. Now there are fears that the New Madrid fault zone could be coming to life again, and if a "killer earthquake" does strike it could change all of our lives forever.

I was always under the impression that the New Madrid fault was capable of generating more powerful quakes than a wussy magnitude 6.8. :D
Yet Midwestern cities will be significantly impacted by such a small earthquake, being built of brick and mortar without any seismic design included in their engineering.
Here is an example of what a real earthquake can look like! :D

A magnitude of 9.2, at the time making it the second largest earthquake in the recorded history of the world.

Geologists do not understand the interplatal New Madrid seismic zone. Conventional theory assumes that North America almost split apart hundreds of millions of years ago; obviously this did not happen. But instead an interplatal anomaly remained, and resulted in the creation of the Mississippi River Valley. Historical records indicate the New Madrid seismic zone has been seismically active for the last 200 years.

I lived in one of the most seismically active areas of the New Madrid seismic zone for twelve years. This area experienced about two earthquakes in the 3.0-3.5 range per year.

Indeed. The 1811-1812 earthquakes were among the most powerful earthquakes to have hit North America since European colonization. Since the region was largely unsettled at this time, its effects were not strongly felt by the infant USA.

Memphis, Tennessee and then St. Louis, Missouri are probably those cities most at risk in the New Madrid zone.

I have lived in earthquake country my entire life. I hope I get to see (the big one), before I die! :D

I don't think that a major earthquake in Alaska would have such a strong impact on the USA since the earthquake's effects would be more localized and the area less populated.

However, were a major earthquake to occur in the central USA [e.g., west Tennessee or southeastern Missouri] the outcome would likely be devastating. Were the USA to experience something like the 1811-1812 earthquakes again, it would probably be the end of life in the USA as we know it.

You Alaskans can have all the earthquakes you want. ;)

I've been in one lousy little quake.

Slept right through it!

Yes, another Good Friday quake might only kill a few thousand people, depending on the time of day that it hit. We had far fewer people here in 1964, than we do today. Thankfully, with today's modern tsunami warning system in place, the real killer generated by our earthquakes can be avoided by folks thousands of miles away along the coastline of the Eastern Pacific.

Oh yeah. :cool:

The poles are shifting, herp derp.

So? What happens in Poland doesn't bother me.

I am not sure about the latest prognosis for the Polish elections but I will have to look it up. :D

I suppose the opposite view would be to say the Poles are shiftless, and THAT is sure to piss someone off!

A rash of earthquakes affecting two small American cities in the past week have baffled geologists - though locals are blaming gas companies.

The north-central Arkansas cities of Greenbrier and Guy have been affected by more than 30 earthquakes since Sunday ranging in magnitude from 1.8 to 3.8.

Geologists are still trying to discover the exact cause of the recent seismic activity ...

Area residents blame drilling by gas companies (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1358107/Gas-companies-blamed-spate-earthquakes-days.html)

[The Lawspeaker]

No fault lines around ? I remember something similar up North here because of drilling operations (natural gas).

This is interesting, I wonder if these pre-quakes are a sign of things to come?

The New Madrid Seismic Zone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Madrid_Fault#1811-1812_earthquake_series) (pronounced /njuː ˈmædrɨd/), sometimes called the New Madrid Fault Line, is a major seismic zone and a prolific source of intraplate earthquakes (earthquakes within a tectonic plate) in the southern and midwestern United States, stretching to the southwest from New Madrid, Missouri.

The New Madrid fault system was responsible for the 1811–1812 New Madrid earthquakes and may have the potential to produce large earthquakes in the future. Since 1812 frequent smaller earthquakes were recorded in the area.

The 1811-12 earthquakes had Richter magnitudes estimated to have been between 7.0 and 8.6. They are mostly forgotten now, because this area of America was sparsely populated at the time. Now, with our much greater population, the same quakes would be devastating. :(

I wonder if the Mississippi will return to its old path or carve a new one? It's all Negroes that live along where the River runs now in Memphis so I can't say it would be any great loss; they could just transplant the city out to Germantown and Cordova. There are four or five cities up and down the Mississippi that had to completely relocate after the last shift in the river's path due to the 19th century quakes.

If terrorists wanted to make a permanent ghost town of New Orleans, all they would need to do is take out the river control structure upstream. That's all that is keeping Big Muddy in its present bed now, and she really wants to roll over. The damage would be in the Billions, and there would be loss of life.

Not much chance of it though. Terrorists aren't interested in ACTUAL damage that matters, just carnage and flashy explosions. They have no sense of proportional damage at all.

Just in case, I'm buying real estate in Mason City. ;)
