Decoding the Bird-Death Maps

Here's a visual representation of all the places birds have died en masse
in the past couple days. We're basically living the opening montage of a
movie about the apocalypse at this point. But what does it all mean?
Well, if you zoom in and draw lines from each of the little e-pegs, you
can see the birds are trying to tell us something.

Asia and Australia should expect a giant bat, or some kind of flying devil.

Europe can look forward to a sideways ghost.

And at home we can be on the lookout for a witch with a knife.

Goodbye.

When I looked at the death maps earlier I had given some thought to drawing giant phalic symbols on the map with "We are fucked" on it.  This representation is probably a bit more family friendly, but still somewhat quite disturbing yet.

2 million fish found dead in Maryland

CNN International - 3 hours ago

Nothing to see here. Move along.

(CNN) -- Authorities in Maryland are investigating the deaths of about 2 million fish in Chesapeake Bay.

"Natural causes appear to be the reason," the Maryland Department of the Environment said in a news release. "Cold water stress exacerbated by a large population of the affected species (juvenile spot fish) appears to be the cause of the kill."

 

The investigation comes days after the deaths of an estimated 100,000 fish in northwest Arkansas. Authorities suspect disease was to blame there, a state spokesman said.

 

In Maryland, preliminary tests showed water quality to be acceptable, officials said.

 

"The affected fish are almost exclusively juvenile spot fish, 3 to 6 inches in length," the Maryland department said. A recent survey "showed a very strong population of spot in the bay this year. An increased juvenile population and limited deep water habitat would likely compound the effects of cold water stress."

 

Large winter kills of spot fish have occurred at least twice before in the state, in 1976 and 1980, the department said.

"Acceptable" - that's a laugh. Maybe for humans to consume, but given the plethora of chemicals, GM food products and who knows what else humans have ingested, inhaled or otherwise been exposed to over the decades, that is a pretty low bar for other animals.

Maryland "potable" tap water contains the highest concentration of fluoride in the country...And the fluoride added to the system is not typically even food grade material, but rather effluent from other processes.

This is something I monitor heavily, as I originated in New Jersey, in the chemical industry, no less (no flying objects needed--we made food grade stuff, essentially vitamins mandated by Congress, for enrichment of rice and other shelf items) and have lived in MD now for ten years.  NJ, whatever its other issues, never added fluoride to the water, because its governance system was essentially (at least in the northern half, and NJ is still divided by the Carteret/Berkley lines drawn up in the Colonial era) a New England type of strong municipal government, and virtually nobody in those communities wanted it.  We had enough pollution already.  We also had Crest, for Crissake!

Maryland has the typical southern type of government, which is county based, with no local oversight.  This allows for despotism on a wide level, especially when large metro areas are captured by entrenched machines.  Baltimore is the largest metro area in that chronic condition, and basically, whoever controls Baltimore, controls MD.

Russian GRU is confident that the Bush adviser was killed because of the mass mortality of blackbirds In Arkansas


Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) of Russia has prepared a report to the Russian government revealing the John Wheeler (a former advisor to the U.S. administration) death mystery, 

 

His body was found Dec. 31, 2010 in the city dump in Wilmington, Delaware.

 

GRU believes that the former high-ranking official was murdered by U.S. intelligence services because Wheeler was going to tell to the public about the causes of mass death of birds in Arkansas.

 

In a shocking report of Russian intelligence, which refers to the newspaper The European Union Times, claimed that the deaths of hundreds of thousands of blackbirds was the results of testing and transportation of chemical weapons by US military.

 

The cause of death among birds was results of birds suffocation by phosgene. This gas was used in the First World War, but now its use is prohibited everywhere. However, after the military campaign in Iraq, a large amount of phosgene, a total weight of 63,000 tonnes, became available to the U.S. military.

 


An army command was appeared tempted by a prospect of maintaining this dangerous weapon, which is no longer available to other countries. However, in the summer of 2010,  a scandal between Moscow and Washington was flared up. Russia accused the U.S. of concealing chemical weapons removed from Iraq in 2003 - 2008. These trophies were stored in  Pine Bluff city, which is also called the "Arsenal of America" because of it is the largest storage of chemical weapons.

  

The report of the Russian intelligence also alleged that some of this phosgene was sent to Afghanistan to be used in remote mountain areas in the protracted war with the Taliban. This  decision by the US military led to an environmental disaster during a transportation procedure, according to Russian special services.

 

Last week, a military transport tanker Boeing KC-767 with a cargo of phosgene on board left for Afghanistan. The plane got up from the airport in Little Rock, but soon after takeoff,  a malfunction of the plane computer system led to spraying toxic substances  directly into the atmosphere. This, according to officers of the GRU, and led to the birds death.

 

The first reports of mass deaths of birds arrived half an hour before the New Year. And the people of Arkansas have reported that thrushes fall in only one district, an area which does not exceed two square kilometers. Outside this area - the situation is normal.

 

The official statement from the State environmental authorities emphasized that among the dead were only blackbirds.

 

Originally, they put forward the most incredible version of bird deaths. One of the local bird watchers allegedly found in dead birds damage characteristic of falling under the lightning or hail. Some experts attributed the birds death to noise from the explosions of firecrackers and fireworks which could cause stress to the birds. But, at first, a version of the possible birds poisoning was strongly rejected.

 

According to the U.S. official report, on December 31 in Arkansas killed 4,000 birds thrushes. Dead birds were quickly removed the Environmental Services staff, who worked in special suits and masks.

 

The Russian intelligence report also said that just a day before a similar failure of computer systems has occurred at another military transport. The result was the death of 100,000 fish in the Arkansas river.

 

These facts became known to 66-year old John Wheeler, which has threatened military and the U.S. administration to tell the public truth about the causes of ecological disaster in Arkansas.

 


Recall, the corpse of John Wheeler was found Dec. 31 in the city dump in Wilmington Delaware. Newark police came to the conclusion that he was killed. According to the preliminary data, the body was brought by a dump trucks which was loaded in Newark.

 

According to Russian intelligence, John Wheeler has guessed the real reasons for the mass birds and fish deaths in Arkansas, because he was a military expert in the field of chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction. Vietnam War veteran went immediately to Washington and announced his intention to disclose classified information, which would put the Pentagon and the White House at risk of harsh criticism.

 

Immediately after,  John Wheeler was mysterious murdered, accordingly to the Russian intelligence report. Everything happened so fast, that people close to the ex-adviser did not even announce his disappearance.

Dumbest thing you can ever heard from a "Russian Intelligence Agency".  Phosgene (carbonyl dichloride) is a reagent used in a variety of organic chemical synthesis.  This reagent is widely available and dirt cheap.  World annual production amounts to millions of tons.  63,000 tons of phosgene is like nothing.  Any major chemical company like Sigma-Aldrich or Bayer makes much more than that annually.  To transport phosgene from Iraq and storage it in a depot in Arkansas doesn't make any economic sense (whether it's used for fertilizer production or for weapon).

 

Furthermore, if the story is true, why didn't Bush and Rumsfeld declare "we've found WMD in Iraq, 63,000 tons of phosgene"?

I DISAGREE.

Jack Wheeler was murdered.  

consider this (bogus?) article just 'surfacing' on Drudge Report:

http://www.philly.com/dailynews/local/113046109.html?cmpid=15585797

In my opinion, this is the BIGGEST piece of C.I.A. PLANTED propaganda I have read in some time, right down to the first generic comments underneath.

now, consider this article: 

‎"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."

http://www.eutimes.net/2011/01/top-us-official-murdered-after-arkansas-weapons-test-causes-mass-death/

i agree that it is important to be a skeptic when reading anything. so what are the motives?

First, read both articles with the belief that they are total bullshit and each writer is completely full of shit with an agenda, and then ask yourself, again, which one is more believable. Ask yourself if they could be written in a certain way to serve a motive. for example, conspiracy websites will write in a conspiratorial way. propaganda postings will write in a "he was a crazy 'one-off' who simply forgot to take his 'meds' that day and now he is dead; forget about it and go back to work to pay your taxes."

In this case, WITH A DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF THE FRAUDULENT NATURE OF THE VERY FOUNDATIONS OF OUR U.S. DEBT-BASED MONEY (vs. Kennedy 'silver certificates, for example), I KNOW WHICH ONE MAKES THE MOST SENSE TO ME AS IT RELATES TO DEEP-SEEDED CORRUPTION AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS. MOUNTING EVIDENCE SUGGESTS THAT OUR SHADOW GOVERNMENT DOES WHATEVER IT LIKES IN A SEEMINGLY PARALLEL UNIVERSE TO OUR PERCEPTIONS. 

Right now, in my mind, THIS MAN WAS CLEARLY MURDERED. 

AS TO THE FACTS OF THE CASE: I admit, they are debatable, but it is my understanding that 63,000 metric tons of Phosgene (carbonyl dichloride) is not that much, as was stated: it is a reagent used in a variety of organic chemical synthesis. However, although this reagent is 'widely available and dirt cheap', IT STILL MUST BE LEGALLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN ITS STOCKPILES because it is also tear gas.

"Because of safety issues, phosgene is almost always produced and consumed within the same plant and extraordinary measures are made to contain this toxic gas. It is listed on schedule 3 of the Chemical Weapons Convention: All production sites manufacturing more than 30 tonnes per year must be declared to the OPCW.[4] Although less dangerous than many other chemical weapons, such as sarin, phosgene is still regarded as a viable chemical warfare agent because it is so easy to manufacture when compared to the production requirements of more technically advanced chemical weapons such as the first-generation nerve agent tabun."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosgene

So, although world annual production amounts to millions of tons, and therefore 63,000 tons of phosgene is not a lot, BUT any major chemical company like Sigma-Aldrich or Bayer MUST ACCOUNT FOR ALL OF IT in its entirety, as it is strictly controlled for the obvious reasons. In this case, this is enough tear gas to do major damage during warfare in Afghanistan, for example, but still not enough to justify invading Iraq. 

"'This does not reflect a capacity that was built up after 1991,' the official said, adding the munitions 'are not the WMDs this country and the rest of the world believed Iraq had, and not the WMDs for which this country went to war.'"

So THIS is how the media analyzes data.  I love it.

Step 1:  Get some data.  Make up what you can't acquire.

Step 2:  Look at it.  Apply your agenda and narrow world views.

Step 3:  Focus on the outlier.  Draw a conclusion.

Step 4:  Create a chart, table, or graph.  Better yet, hand-draw an overlay of an AIDS-infected long-toothed tarantula about to bite a sleeping toddler.  Even better still: create an Xtranormal movie!

Step 5:  Publish it on your blog, go on tee vee and PROFIT!

Red bat at dawn, Jockeys on the White House lawn.

 

I'll take a drive to Washington D.C.
Just before dawn
An' knock the little jockeys
Off the White House lawn
An' before they get up
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
Before they get up
I'll be knocking the jockeys off the lawn
Down with the DOW
Apologies to FZ

Most of birds inhaled poisonous dust from this year's frequent volcano eruptions and also suffered from recorded cold weather. Nothing else.

Is that plastic 787 you guys are working on that's more than 3 years late also going to fall out of the sky from volcanic eruptions and cold weather. Makes as much sense as what you said.

   In Arkansas:

   In all, more than 3,000 birds tumbled to the ground. Scientists said Monday that fireworks appeared to have frightened the birds into such a frenzy that they crashed into homes, cars and each other. Some may have flown straight into the ground.

 Makes about as much sense as the rest of the MM bullshit.

Really?  Are we resorting to cartoons now?

Let's call it like it is.  The global economy sucks and it is sucking the life out of the birds as well.  Maybe those flocks of birds were short Apple Stock over the last year.  lol

The Volcanic carbons in the air seems to be the most probable explanation....or it's just nature.  We had the ice age and the great melt....all without "carbon emissions".  The planet is constantly changing.   It has been since the earth was formed.  The world, or "Mother Nature" doesn't stop because humans live on it.

 I think this pretty much proves the axiom that 'stress kills'.

All of you....take the rest of the day off and try not to fall out of the sky.

Guys, I think the Environment will soon be in serious turmoil. Dead birds falling from the sky was never a good sign. The economic crisis will be our second concern. I bet the within the next 2 years there will be a pole reversal.  This will bring with it some very serious climatic changes. We are warned.

Sweden: Dead birds had internal bleeding - no sign of disease or infection.

(And a Swedish truch driver admitts to the police that he probably drove over a few the other night...)

Birds use the Magnetic Fields to navigate. Fish likely use the same fields in a different way...

How about the GOM issue?

Oil + Corexit + Currents + Evaporation = ? Dead Animals?

Seems like a bunch of deaths in the SE Gulf area... Also, most die-offs are near coastal areas... No mass deaths reported far inland (outside of the Gulf Region)

 

Who knows...

Right now the World seems like a big Keg party... There are more showing up to drink... A huge line is queued up to purchase cups... But the Kegs in the back yard were empty an hour ago... Once all those who paid 6 bucks for an empty red cup find out there is no more beer... Look out.

Some of my preps include having a warehouse full of toilet paper. When this thing blows so does the division of labor. People will need toilet paper regardless of whether the water keeps coming into the house or not. People gotta wipe. Dry wipe bitchez! You want toilet paper? How much for the daughter?
