They Were Dying En Masse, Then They Weren't

It's strange the mass animal die-offs gained visibility New Year's Eve and stopped three weeks later. Natural News tracks the timeline from December 13th to January 11th, but essentially dropped to zero visibility after 10, 000 cattle died and the government's "admission" to poisoning birds in South Dakota. But that's one event, and doesn't factor in the autopsy of the birds in Beebe, or the variety of other animal death events. The high weirdness here is the die offs have stopped, or at least stopped being written about. That's Bing. This is the google search page. Both subjects: mass animal deaths January 20 to February 4. Or did they just stop?
Also losing visibility was anything related to electromagnetic disturbances or any mention of a pole shift, in the MSM, but not on the 'net, of course.
Again; Maybe they're related, and when one stopped, so did the other.
Maybe. At the moment, anything seems possible.

Group of birds found dead in Mid Missouri

Ruh-Roh. Poorly written article about birds dropping dead .. This time, in mid-Missouri. Excerpts, with smartass comments in italics:

A startling discovery in Cole County Sunday has some residents wondering, 'what’s going on?' (Really? I think just about everyone paying attention to this unfolding of events is a little beyond "What's going on?")

A number of birds were found dead much like they have been found in other parts of the country and world. But it might not be as uncommon as you might think. (I'm freaked out, yet strangely re-assured..)

In recent weeks large numbers of birds have fallen out of the sky without explanation. (Whoa.. Slow down: I'm overwhelmed with information.. So specific, even..)

The deaths hadn’t hit mid-Missouri, until now. (Dun Dun..
DUH!)
Although we’re not talking about thousands of birds like in
Arkansas. (All right; everyone stay calm..)
..
A KRCG viewer Jennifer Timbers called when she found about 30 dead Starlings in the middle of Rockridge Rd. near Frog Hollow in Cole County.

"No fireworks, we don’t have a hail storm, which I heard that was one of the original theories of this,” Timbers said. “But no, the weather was just an average winter evening." (Jennifer Timbers knows things.)
And:
Of course the deaths of these animals have sparked conspiracy theories, but scientists say the deaths in Arkansas were most likely due to fireworks. (Fireworks? Easily the most ridiculous of all conspiracy theories, a.k.a., "The Official Story.")
However, we still have a mystery on our hands as to why the birds died in mid Missouri. (Screw those pansy 5000 dead blackbirds in pansy ass Ar. Kan. Saw. 30 birds died in Missouri! Won't somebody think of the
children?)

I agree. Too glib. I'll revert back to "Doomtastic" tomorrow..

Birds Dying In Italy: Thousands Of Turtle Doves Fall Dead From Sky

This time its Italy, and that the birds happen to be doves gives it even more of an Omen-feel..

On Wednesday, GeaPress reported hundreds -- possibly thousands -- of dead and dying birds in Italy. Countless turtle doves were found scattered in the streets, in flower beds and hanging tragically from trees "like Christmas balls" in the town of Faenza.

Many of the birds that fell dead from the sky were discovered with a mysterious blue stain in their beaks.
The next paragraph lists sights of mass animal deaths in the last week, including Arkansas, Louisiana, Kentucky, and Sweden, and fish kills in Maryland, Arkansas, New Zealand, and Brazil, along with a mass crab kill in England, but goes on to say:
While the events are likely unrelated, most still remain a mystery. Officials suggest fireworks are likely responsible for many of the bird deaths and that unusually cold weather could be to blame for the strange mass deaths of fish and crabs.

Sure. Unrelated. Check. And yes, it is true animal die-offs do occur, and with more regularity than the public notices. Articles are written, but due to the singular nature of the event (one species kill, usually not too large, obscure, rural areas of the planet, something more sensational happening), no one pays attention. These things do happen. But.. This seems different. The largeness of the kills, the short time period, the diversity of locales, these feel related. And, by the attention paid to this developing situation, I'm not the only one who thinks so.

Will a common denominator be identified?

Animal Death Events Continue To Grow..

Whatever "this" turns out to be, it has certainly caught the attention and imagination of my normally inattentive friends, the ones who smirk when I talk of conspiracies or anomalous events..

A poster at my favorite conspiracy site provides this list of the latest die-offs, along with a map of event locations. (This also might be the "WTF Moment" predicted by the webbots, but that's another post at a later date..) And though I wouldn't definitively rule out any cause at the moment, it's starting to look less like a WMD release(The deaths are too widespread for Sorcha's theory, and why just birds and fish?), fireworks(no..), or cloaked UFOs(no, and why now?).

Possible explanations that seem plausible include: BP's Corexit saturation finally starting to manifest world wide(Long shot, but if you fuck with nature, side effects will occur..), Methane "burps,"(possible, but that's a lot of methane burping world wide..), HAARP(What's HAARP? Too short of an answer-man made magnetic disturbance-this one's still a Big maybe..), or Non-man made magnetic disturbance(with all the information available, this seems to be the most sensible). If this is some kind of magnetic disturbance, is it coming from space, or from the earth itself?

George Ure at Urban Survival has put together a fairly compelling argument involving the animal die offs as a precursor to some really major earthquake activity. The article's called Coping: Terra's Biggest Bite To Come? (Mr. Ure doesn't post single items, so scroll down to find it. It's in the January 5th column..) Not so encouraging excerpts:

What ties together all those parts of Arkansas, has been associated with bird kills, and might also be somehow related to Baton Rouge down river? You aren't going to like the answer, but here goes:
New Madrid.
Not only have we had some earthquakes in the central Arkansas area in the past couple of months - and there was a 4.2 in that area back in February of 2005 if memory serves me right. We has a little tiny 1.9 quake, just west of the Arkansas bird kill, too:
..
Let me pop up a map I developed last week for Peoplenomics subscribers and then put forth a wild hypothesis: I drew a great circle line around the globe which very roughly links all the big quakes from the China quake, down through the south Pacific, across the Pacific and Nazca plates to Chile, and let's not forget Argentina last week. (You really should check out the map; the visual helps.)

Now imagine for a moment that nature tends toward symmetry. We notice this line happens to come down through the Middle East very near those anomalous quakes in the Gulf of Aden, and then it comes down where that big Rift is developing in Africa which scientists figure may turn into a new inland sea in the future. And possibly something much bigger - think ocean.

Suppose that with all this activity in the southern hemisphere that some outburst of quakes might come to the northern hemisphere as a result.

If such wild guessing - and it is only that for now - held, then activity might be expected 90-degrees offset from the line - and since nature would likely quake along existing faults instead of creating new ones, maybe the the range would be somewhere in the area of +75 to +105 degrees. Uncertainty due to the bulge of the earth and so forth.
And:
So will my "shadow quake line" generally north of the equator appear?

Mr. Ure theorizes that maybe, just maybe, the entire planet might be in for (or effected by) some sort of global quake event(s), larger than anything we've ever experienced. While this is a horrifying proposition, it does seem to tie most of variables into a working theory. A scary, potentially life, history, and future altering theory.

And then, if this theory is correct, the larger question remains: What would cause a global quake event: Jesus, 2012, or Planet X?

Dead Birds, This Time In Sweden..

Mysterious mortality in the Falkirk  Translation from Google.. Excerpts in italics:

A mysterious mortality in the affected Falkirk.



About 40 dead birds covered the ground last night at an intersection.


- It was a horrible sight, "said a resident who discovered the birds on their evening walk.
 
Bird Death in Falkirk was late in the night remains a mystery. The police did not know what the mass death could depend on.



- We received the alarm about 40 dead birds in a small space, "said Johan Ljung, duty officer in Västra Götaland.
 
This might be a natural die off, and it's not a mass kill, but we'll keep it in the "information pile" for the meantime.  This looks to be a pretty big jigsaw puzzle, still with no clear picture..
 
Possibly related:  Birds flying north over St. Louis (Video-view at 480 only, or you won't be able to see them..)  Are they bugging out, or scrambled because of an electro-magnetic disturbance?

And Now, A Word From Our Favorite Conspiracy Nuns..

I knew this event was tailor made for a weigh in from the Sisters of Sorcha Faal..  Excerpts in italics:

A shocking report prepared for Prime Minister Putin by the Foreign Military Intelligence Directorate (GRU) states that one of the United States top experts in biological and chemical weapons was brutally murdered after he threatened to expose a US Military test of poison gas that killed hundreds of thousands of animals in Arkansas this past week.

According to this report, John P. Wheeler III, Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Air Force, Washington, D.C. from 2005-2008, when he became the Special Assistant to the Acting Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Installations, Logistics and Environment, was found brutally murdered and dumped in a landfill..
..
Wheeler’s military career included writing one of the most important manuals on the effectiveness of biological and chemical weapons which led to his being hired in 2009 as a consultant to the Mitre Corporation, whose aviation system development department, the GRU reports, is at the forefront of creating the computer command and control systems used by the US Air Force in their fleet of aerial spraying planes.

These aerial spraying planes, this report continues, are based at the Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas that over the past few months have been involved with ‘test dispersants’ of poisonous gasses in the Afghanistan War Theater using chemical weapons stocks obtained from Iraq and held at the Pine Bluff Arsenal, also located in Arkansas.
..
According to this report, the US relocated from Iraq to the Pine Bluff Arsenal an estimated 63,000 metric tonnes of the poisonous gas Phosgene that is described as one of the most feared chemical weapons ever used due to its ability to literally cause the lungs and respiratory system to explode.

Nearly immediately after Russia accused the US this past summer of not fully destroying Iraq’s Phosgene poisonous gas stockpile the Pine Bluff Arsenal began an ‘accelerated’ disposal programme injecting it deep into the ground in central Arkansas, but which, unfortunately, since this past September, has caused over 500 minor earthquakes to occur raising the concerns of their local population.  (They tied in the earthquake swarm, too--If this weren't such a potentially serious situation, it would be major-conspiracy-sweet..)

The problems I have with this "report"?  This theory still doesn't answer why just the blackbirds and fish were effected, not dogs, cats, wild animals, and people.  If Phosgene were to blame, wouldn't there be more evidence?  Official reports on the birds cause of death have one strange aspect:  blood clots in the lungs, accompanied by trauma and internal bleeding.  While the blunt force trauma seems to be mentioned frequently, reports of clots are not.  That bothers me. 

The Wheeler tie-in is really troubling, as this angle feels accurate in a cloak and dagger kind of way, and may cause some other journalists to pursue this direction.  But the earthquake swarm?  Arkansas is a seismic zone, albeit a quieter one than California or Alaska, but I'm not sure about chemical dumping causing this recent activity.. 

Also:  Blackbirds don't normally fly at night.  Why this peculiar behavior?  That leads me back to some kind of electro-magnetic disturbance, but again, at this stage, anything is possible.

Every additional piece of information seems to breed more questions.  At this point, anyone claiming to have definitive answers cannot be correct.  There are far too many circumstances with unanswered questions, but God love Sorcha Faal for trying..

Bird Die Off: Alternate Theory

ALERT!!! This is How the Mass Bird Death Happened - The New Madrid Fault may produce MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE soon!  This one combines two unexplained variables I couldn't define:  A gaseous or chemical (or influenza strain) release would effect a wider range of species, and the sudden-ness of the kill, and resulting physical trauma to the birds.  The poster explains..

Birds are very sensitive to electrostatic charges. A simple thunder cloud will irritate a bird severely. This is why birds fly low to the ground just before a storm, to avoid the very uncomfortable charges in the air.

In Arkansas there is one of the Worlds Largest Quartz deposits underground. Quartz is piezoelectric which means a charge develops over the surface of the quartz when pressure is applied to the crystal. The charge is millions of volts but it happens so fast its nearly harmless to people on a small scale. This is how some lighters work. A hammer hits a quartz device releasing a spark.

Anyways, the recent earthquake has placed new pressures on the quartz deposits in Arkansas. This results in a massive discharge of billions of volts of electricity. Think how a small piece of quartz the size of a pea can light a lighter. Now think about millions of Tons of quartz discharging under the extreme pressures the Earth can push.

At some point, the charges below created a brief surface charge, positive charge, during a discharge event. The electrostatic charge is immense and knocks the birds out cold in flight. The birds are still alive though, just knocked unconscious. The birds that were flying high were the ones killed upon impact. Blunt force trauma. The birds that were in the trees survived. Some birds like to fly high, others fly low. This explains why it was species specific as the birds that flew high were the ones to die.

The poster theorizes that this quartz sparking action means there will be a large earthquake event along the New Madrid Seismic Zone sooner rather than later.  As I write this, I am located within what would be the effected area, so I hope not.  But I will be buying some extra water in the next few days, just in case..

Edit:  I must clarify..  When I said wider range of species, I am making the assumption the original poster assumed the fish and bird kill were unrelated(although it doesn't fully rule out an event relationship), as other types of birds were seemingly unaffected.  This continues to develop..

Dead Animals: Epidemic, Or Meme?

This week's animal double die off in Arkansas seems to have caught the public imagination/pushed the national "freakout" button.  Are these events related?  What's the root cause for either event?  And then, what about these new events?

Mysterious killing of fish in coastal  Translated from the original Portuguese article from Brazil.. Excerpts:

A survey conducted by the Federation of Fishermen's Colony of Paraná, Paranaguá on the coast of the state, indicates that at least 100 tons of fish (sardine, croaker and catfish) have turned up dead since last Thursday off the coast of Parana.

Apart from Paranagua, Ferreira said the dead fish are starting to appear in other coastal towns. "The dead fish are going to Antonina, and Guaraqueçaba Pontal do Paraná. We need an urgent solution to this, "he warns.

Captain Edson Oliveira Avila, regional coordinator of Civil Defense in the Paraná region, believes there are three hypotheses for the death of fish. "We will wait to see what happened, but speculations suggest that fish may have died due to an environmental imbalance, dropping a fishing boat or leakage of chemicals," he says.

Or maybe there's a fourth hypothesis..

Japan on alert after finding dead birds

Recent discovery of several dead migratory birds in Japan has raised concerns about H5NI avian influenza, avian experts said.

Bird sanctuaries, poultry farms and zoos were put on high alert last month after the migratory birds in some region were found dead, The New York Times reported Monday.  Times article here..

Hundreds of dead fish found at Goytre Wharf

A possible reason is a 30cm drop in the water level at the marina caused by work upstream, but the cold weather, ice and a lack of oxygen are more likely to have killed the fish.

Smaller fish were found alive in the marina and initial tests showed there was no pollution.
(This event is probably a "natural" die off that is more common, but is included because it occurred during the same time frame..)

Uh-Oh..  Mayrbe it is bird flu..

10,000s of Birds found dead in Manitoba

Local reports have circulated that an extremely virulent strain of bird flu has infected both wild and farm birds. At the same time an extremely aggressive winter flu has hit Canada sometime in December and mortality rates are expected to rise alarmingly in vulnerable populations.
(Note:  All of this is more than unsubstantiated at the moment, so don't go freakin' out just yet..)

Hundreds of DEAD Black Birds Found In Louisiana

500 dead birds have been found near New Roads Louisiana just days after thousands of birds turned up dead in Arkansas and at least ten identical birds were reported dead in Kentucky!

Is God mad?

Or possibly this person is correct--Are these fish and bird die offs a false flag?

Something, my friends, is afoot.  More follow ups shortly..

This Week In Shakey Shakey..

Major 7.1 magnitude earthquake hits Chile

Indiana's magnitude 3.8 earthquake felt in Michigan
     Wait; what?  Indiana?

When it comes to earthquakes, yes size matters, but so does depth.  Take, for instance, this 7.0 non quaker in Argentina..

The most curious current earthquake event is still the earthquake swarm in Guy, Arkansas, with another 2.5 magnitude mini quake earlier this week.  The rash of minor quakes might be due to fracking, or not.  What might *Might* be a harbinger of some major tectonic activity is the thousands of birds dropping dead in Arkansas skies, and thousands of fish dying and washing ashore in Arkansas lakes..  A possible instance methane out gassing?  Which leads to speculation about whether or not there are unknown fault lines in Arkansas, and a possible volcano around Hot Springs. 

And the earth change conspiracy theorists have already begun speculating..
