"The Birds": Mapping The Global Mass Animal Deaths Graveyard
If you are not worried about the recent explosion in mass deaths of animal in "isolated" locations, you may be after seeing this map presenting the pan-global graveyeard of inexplicable mass deaths, which far from isolated, are literally taking the world by storm. Did the Mayans forget to carry the zero?

Or possibly overlooked the inclusion of a toxic agent by the manufacturer of said fireworks?
Didn't we cover the entire Gulf with Corexit? The stuff that makes red blood cells explode. I'm guessing maybe within two - four years we'll start seeing the effects in humans.

I actually saw birds flying north around Christmas time. Something that totally should not have been happening. Food supply (fish) all poisoned.
Throughout many seasons duck hunting, birds flying north around christmas time was common... could be from a myriad of reasons: north is slightly warmer, warm front pushing through, more food north, etc. In some cases, the birds are simply not flying south and are hitting up rest ponds and safety fields and camping... no need ot go south if a buffet is just a small flight away.
I've observed the same thing. Migratory birds are totally unpredictable and weather sensitive. Although this season I noticed an interesting change in behavior for geese. I've hunted from the same elevated peach orchard in Idaho for many years, just on the berm of a lake preserve where the geese like to spend the night. A large proportion of them always got up at or near sunup to feed and departed the lake heading due south right over us camouflaged hunters. Hundreds of them. This year for the first time, nearly all of them headed East but for the few strays we promptly nailed. Very little backwind. It was a headscratcher.
Navigation system screwed up? The magnetic pole has been moving around lately, you know.

I agree. This COREXIT dispersant doesn't have any good properties except making the Gulf Slick look less homogenous from a helicopter with a news crew.
Perhaps the chemicals have traversed the planet via ocean currents.
No, the Coreixt would have started killing immediately, and by now has all degraded. Poisons don't wait to take effect.
tmosely, this might shock you, or it might not.

All about BP, Deepwater Horizon, oil eating bacteria and the like...
It’s not wise to fool Mother Nature. Those who think they can get away with it will abruptly learn that payback can be more than they bargained for. That’s because nature will always retaliate in subtle retorts that shake the very foundations of this earth as well as life itself. Playing the role of Creator is a very dangerous game.
As part of their new logo and corporate image campaign, British Petroleum (BP) wants the public to think of them as their new slogan says, “Beyond Petroleum”. BP is far more than a simple oil company. What is revealed below regarding BP and their ‘beyond petroleum’ activities, both prior to and including their Gulf of Mexico catastrophe, will create a picture for the reader one pixel dot at a time. Once the person who reads everything presented here connects all the dots of the picture, it will be more than obvious that BP has tried to fool Mother Nature… and she’s retaliating with a vengeance that is affecting the entire world. This is a perilous game that has now gotten out of control. What began in the Gulf of Mexico, in February 2010, has now escalated into a man-made biological nightmare of unknown proportions.
SYNTHETIC GENOMICS
On June 13, 2007, BP made a long-term research and development deal and an undisclosed equity investment into a company named Synthetic Genomics Inc. based in Rockville, Maryland. Synthetic Genomics was co-founded by Dr. J. Craig Venter to commercialize genomic-driven technologies. (1) Genomics is the scientific study of the entire DNA sequence of an organism’s genome. A genome is all the genetic information in the chromosomes of an organism, including its genes and DNA sequences.
BP/Synthetic Genomics recovered the DNA from subsurface hydrocarbon substrates (biological organisms in crude oil) and applied DNA “sequencing methods” to them. (1) What this means is that they took the DNA from underground crude oil reservoir microbial cells, such as bacteria or viruses, and cultured them in a lab to identify, isolate, and interpret their chemical and genetic properties. Additional “sequencing methods” beyond the initial identity and isolation stages were also carried out.
A central part of the deal between BP and Synthetic Genomics was to create biological transfer processes for crude oil that would lead to improved recovery rates. (1) Their goal was to develop new microbes with lab created genomes that would improve the flow of gas and oil out of a reservoir. For an oil producer like BP, more oil and gas being recovered from a source translates into more profits. This process is known as Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR).
MICROBIAL ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY
Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) is the use of micro-organisms to retrieve additional petroleum production from an oil reservoir. Micro-organisms are introduced into oil wells to produce by-products which help propel oil out of the well. Because these processes help to mobilize the oil and assist oil flow, they allow a greater amount to be recovered from the well. (2)
MEOR is a direct application of biotechnology. It uses biological materials – such as bacteria, microorganisms, and products of their metabolism – to assist the movement of oil out of a well. Other applications include genetic engineering techniques and recombinant DNA technology, which are used to develop new strains of bacteria with improved oil recovery traits. (3)
The micro-organisms can be applied to an entire oil reservoir where they grow between the oil and the well’s rock surface to enhance oil recovery in the following ways:
Bio-surfactant Production – Microorganisms produce slippery substances called surfactants as they breakdown oil. Because they are naturally produced by biological microorganisms, they are referred to as bio-surfactants. Bio-surfactants act like slippery detergents, helping the oil move more freely away from rocks and crevices.
Reduction of oil viscosity – Oil is a thick fluid that is quite viscous, meaning that it does not flow easily. Microorganisms help break down the molecular structure of crude oil, making it more fluid and easier to recover.
Production of carbon dioxide gas – As a by-product of metabolism, micro-organisms produce carbon dioxide gas. Over time, this gas accumulates and displaces the oil driving it up and out of the ground. (3)
PATENTS PENDING
The BP/Synthetic Genomics alliance was centered on developing new micro-organisms with lab created genomes (synthetic DNA) to improve the outflow of gas and oil reservoirs. That alliance was publicly announced on June 13, 2007. As to what prior date the actual agreement was made is a corporate privacy matter.
However, less than two weeks before the public announcement, on May 31, 2007, US Patent application number 20070122826 was published claiming exclusive ownership of a set of essential genes and a synthetic “free-living organism that can grow and replicate” that is made using those genes. An international patent application at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO number WO2007047148, published April 27, 2007) names more than 100 countries where it may seek monopoly patents. (4)
The company that applied for the patents was the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), a non-profit company founded by genetic scientist J. Craig Venter who also founded Synthetic Genomics, BP’s business alliance partner. Both are based in Rockville, Maryland. By no mere coincidence, Synthetic Genomics Inc. sponsors (pays for) fundamental research at JCVI. (1) Since BP has a developmental and research deal as well as an undisclosed amount of equitable stock ownership with Synthetic Genomics, it’s obvious who’s paying for the synthetic genetic research and results at JCVI.
Begin connecting the dots in order to see the picture.
BP WELLS AT MC252 GULF OF MEXICO
Since they were paying for genetic research to increase oil well flow and production, logic dictates that BP needed to apply a newly created micro-organism(s) produced by their alliance with Synthetic Genomics to the oil reservoir located beneath their Mississippi Canyon Block 252 lease in the Gulf of Mexico. According to BP’s submitted U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS) application, there were to be two exploration (not production) wells drilled and capped designated as Wells A and B. Exploration wells are commonly used to inject or introduce Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery micro-organisms and their nutrients into an oil reservoir for increased present and future production.
The first exploration well had been partially drilled by Transocean in October, 2009, but their Marianas semi-submersible drilling rig was damaged by hurricane Ida and was removed for repairs in late November, 2009. On February 3, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon semi-submersible rig commenced exploration drilling to complete the unfinished drilling operation of the Marianas rig. On February 13, 2010, BP informed the MMS that they were experiencing uncontrollable bursts of gas and large cracks at the base of the well. That was the reason they filed for and were granted a permit to abandon and cap the well the same day. (6)
Shortly after, Deepwater Horizon commenced drilling the other exploratory well for BP. We all know the result of the second drilling operation that destroyed the Deepwater Horizon rig on April 22, 2010. One fact that can’t be refuted regarding both exploratory wells is the extreme gas pressures coming from the oil reservoir and the resulting cracks on the ocean floor.
As noted above, MEOR micro-organisms can be applied to an oil reservoir where they grow between the oil and the well’s rock surface to enhance oil recovery. As a by-product of metabolism, micro-organisms produce carbon dioxide gas and this gas accumulates and displaces the oil by driving it up and out of the ground. At the same time, micro-organisms can break down the viscosity of the oil so that it’s thinner and can flow easier.
The published commercial goal of the BP/Synthetic Genomics alliance was to create new genetically engineered micro-organisms to increase the flow of oil. A public trademark of that research involves man-made genomes [synthetic DNA] controlling new artificial cellular organisms. Because of the vast estimated reserves of oil at MC252 in the Gulf of Mexico, the temperatures involved, and its extreme low oxygen depth, previous known or lab enhanced micro-organisms would not be effective in creating an increased flow of the oil.
One can only imagine what the results would be of a new MEOR synthetic bacteria that had a computer DNA designed capability to replicate itself rapidly in that extreme environment. The outcome would be unpredictable since it had never been tested in those conditions before… or had it?
Connect the dots to see more of the picture.
SAY HELLO TO SYNTHIA
In 2003, JCVI successfully synthesized a small virus that infects bacteria. By 2008, the JCVI team was able to synthesize a small bacterial genome. On May 6, 2010, JCVI revealed they had already created a self-replicating bacterial cell controlled by a chemically synthesized genome they named “synthetic Mycoplasma mycoides JCVI-syn1.0”. (7) This completely synthetic cell with its computer designed genome has absolutely no natural DNA. (1) The etc group from Canada named it Synthia and it contains added watermark chains to identify the genome as artificial. It also has antibiotic resistance indicators. (7) One can only speculate why this artificial bacterium has an inherent programmed capability to resist antibiotics.
This new life form has the ability to replicate itself and organically function in any cell into which it has been introduced. Its DNA is artificial and it’s this synthetic DNA that takes control of the cell and is credited with being the building block of life. This is the first self-replicating synthetic bacterial cell thanks to its computer generated DNA. All of the funding for this came from Synthetic Genomics Inc (1), the company BP has a sizable equity position and alliance with. BP is definitely way beyond petroleum just as their new slogan publicizes.
Why watermark this artificial genome? Doing so makes it identifiable as the unique and patented (privately owned) asset it is. What happens if a human becomes infected with a life-threatening variant bacterial species of Synthia? If you use Penicillin to fight the infection, it won’t do any good. Antibiotic resistance is part of its DNA sequence, so any use of antibiotics would be a waste of time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons
The tragedy of the commons is a dilemma arising from the situation in which multiple individuals, acting independently and rationally consulting their own self-interest, will ultimately deplete a shared limited resource even when it is clear that it is not in anyone's long-term interest for this to happen.
This might interest you, CD: http://www.yesmagazine.org/issues/america-the-remix/elinor-ostrom-wins-n...
Thank you, this will fit well in an article I'm working on.
I too have faith that the common people have common sense and the reason we are in the mess is because of the insanity raining down from above. When stressed, anyone can act irrationally. And when the currency, social cohesion and self interest are distorted by propaganda and disinformation, we can act terribly. But I don't believe that man is inherently violent nor selfish. We are being told this is the case to justify the insanity coming from the few above.
Her quote in your article.
Elinor: Well, I don’t see the human as hopeless. There’s a general tendency to presume people just act for short-term profit. But anyone who knows about small-town businesses and how people in a community relate to one another realizes that many of those decisions are not just for profit and that humans do try to organize and solve problems.
This is why communism and socialism always fail. The only way anything can be preserved (other than killing all humans) is for it to be privately owned. The owner may exploit his property as he wishes, but will do so with the understanding that if he destroys a resource, it won't come back. His own long term self interest will lead him to a sustainable method of resource development/exploitation.
Capitalism's imperatives will also force it to kill a bunch of humans.
Furthermore, I don't agree that a man's own long-term self-interest will lead him to a sustainable method of resource development / exploitation. Sometimes it will, sometimes it won't. It's only an assumption of academics and economists that you can reliably model future and present social / economic developments most or all of the time by assuming that people act in their own rational self-interests. Personally, I think you can get some accurate results from some models, sometimes, by modeling people as lazy, apathetic, greedy primates who act in consideration of the short-term, or medium-term if they are feeling particularly wise, but long-term? -- long-term be damned, especially when no one else in his game theory matrix of actors is thinking long-term. "In the long run, we're all dead." -J. M. Keynes
Tmosley, I know you are big on the idea, or belief, that economic incentives will save society from a collapse as oil production stagnates or declines. I sometimes question whether this will happen, because my lazy / apathethic / greedy primate model seems to fit better with what is happening in the real world right now.
ORI, if even half of this is going on, we are genuinely fucked.
My god, didn't any of these sellout scientists read Jurassic Park? Crichton gives a good solid basic plainspoken explanation about chaos theory in there. Corporations playing God...that'll end well.
Indeed. Moving from corporation to cooperation. Sounds easy enough, no?
ORI
Alarmist, Ludditic nonsense.
You have a large block of text there, but present no thesis.
Understand that new traits aren't "computer designed", but rather, they are taken from other strains of bacteria (or even from other kingdoms). Those traits already existed in nature, they simply combined them into one cell. This is not much different than selecting dogs for certain traits until you create a new breed. This type of trait insertion is done all the time. We have done it in our lab (we insert lux genes so we can track biofilm growth inside of living animals and quantify it on surfaces using microscopy techniques).
The first part of your block of text seems to imply that the strain of bacteria produced by BP and Co is some sort of superbacteria that is spreading throughout all the oil reservoirs under the GoM. This is probably not the case. Most of the time, engineered strains are outcompeted by natural ones (we have to keep our animals in a sterile environment when they are infected with lux gene holding bacteria), because the products that the engineers want are generally not actually useful to the bacterium in question. Bacteria that naturally produce biosurfactants will rapidly find themselves in a world of shit, as surfactants kill bacteria quite readily (by membrane disruption--there is no defense against this, which is why soap ALWAYS kills bacteria). This is similar to yeast that humans have selected to produce alcohol--the alcohol the humans want is deadly to the yeast. It also must be protected during it's initial introduction to the growth environment, or it will be overwhelmed by existing bacteria and killed.
Those oil wells are already full of bacteria, and will crowd out the newcomers, unless they have included some sort of antibiotic as a defense mechanism in their modified strain, which would further reduce the rate of their growth. "Grey goo" and any fully biological corollaries is a myth.
On the synthia, just read the wiki article before you start cowering in terror--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycoplasma_laboratorium
Antibiotic resistance is NOT a part of its genome, it is simply resistant to them because it lives inside of cells, which keep antibiotics out.
tmos,
Thanks for the interesting information on bacteria/soap connection (I'll have to go research that) as well as yeast/alcohol.

Appreciate your response tmos, i read ORI's post and was intrigued by it, but i value your educated response just as much. If anything, it didn't seem to be like antibiotic resistance would be part of Synthia's genome as implied..

At the minimum, its a bullish indicator.

They can do what they want. Fraud has been legalized in Florida.

These things have been going on. This is the first time someone has mapped them and put it into a tight format. Bet you could back track a couple of years and do an animation/flow through time series that would be very informative. The question would be what is the baseline for this kind of thing, and how far off of what would normally be expected are these events?

So, no response? I was waiting to hear from you that NatGeo was not a trustworthy source. Of course, your flower garden is a great source of data! LMAO!
Everything I post can be backed up and verified with real data. So when I say, the EU will implode in a short time, it's based on math.
pretty much the first sensible comment in this thread. A little perspective please.
Honey bees are not native to North america.... but besides that there are still plenty of them...just look up your local bee keeper association no matter what State you are in and you will find plent of bee keepers along with many willing to sell you a hive to start up yourself.
I was wondering if the Bees dieing was because of the modified seeds from Monsanto. You cannot harvest seeds from Monsantos modified seeds because they are sterle. I wonder if the bees become sterle from taking neckter from the modified seeds.

Why is no national television outlet commenting on the scale of this? If they have, I haven't noticed. The idiots on Atlanta news barely commented on the birds here before going back to some black woman grilling cheese burgers (called the ghetto burger). Seriously.

"I would gladly pay you next Tuesday for a hamburger today".
Stellar idea.
Hey, that's Ben's plan!
I witnessed the same. They spent about 30 seconds on the birds (no mention of all the kills around the world) and 5 minutes on the old lady trying to sell her burger business in Atlanta.
When somebody like Wheeler dies under suspicious circumstances, we should be concerned...just by that fact alone. When the press follows by white-washing his death, and also white-washing another seemingly unrelated story, while diverting attention to the burger-flipping grandma, then we should be VERY concerned.
I suppose the true causes of these events will never be revealed. Move along, there is nothing to see here, oh look: a shiny red bouncy ball!
"When somebody like Wheeler dies under suspicious circumstances, we should be concerned...just by that fact alone."
Right. That the birds and Wheeler's unfortunate demise were so close together raises my suspicions. I saw the EUTimes article re: poison gas/Wheeler connection and am suspicious about the lack of sources supporting this. I don't know what's going on, but I do know that our government has its sticky fingerprints all over it. Here's a link to a news broadcast from Philladelphia about an eyewitness account of Wheeler before he died. He was seen by a parking garage attendant carrying his broken right shoe and telling her that he did not have his parking ticket because his briefcase was stolen. Very strange indeed.
http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2011/01/04/video-released-in-murder-mystery-of-del-war-vet/
Agreed. The bizaare circumstances around Wheeler's last few hours alive and his death bear looking into considering his professional background. (Irregardless of the birds falling from the sky). Ludlum could have wrote it.
Bingo Col. Cooper.
The press is making freaking Wheeler out to be like Milton from Office Space. Next thing you know they will be saying he was looking for his Swingline red stapler and was threatening to burn the building down.
This is the worst Ops. maneuver I have seen in a long time. Whomever is responsible for this ought to be promoted to a nice pidgeonhole desk job.

Do you really think this OMG THEY WILL REPEAL OBAMACARE is a coincidence? Please, it's scripted down to the off-record remarks.
Well said.
This is an idea I have entertained for over 3 years now (the Fed started stealth pumping well before the 2008 crash) and it is entirely plausible. Regardless of whether someone wishes to believe that a major event is coming, clearly the governments of the world believe it and are preparing for.....something.
I won't go into all the signs of government activity. Do your own research because unless you do, for the most part you wouldn't believe me anyway. But when one pulls back and takes a big picture point of view, seemingly disparate and unconnected events and actions suddenly begin to fit together.
Forget about what the government says. Watch what it does.
Well, that was my pet theory on peak oil. The NEPDG surveyed all known Iraqi oil sources, worked out when the peak would hit, and then calculated at which point money would become worthless regardless and started spending accordingly.
I see the governments of the world preparing to take whatever scraps are left in the battered pockets of their citizenry after the jackals of finance have finished shaking everybody down.
They'll need a lot of "tax collectors" and a good infrastructure to make sure order is maintained during the "assessment period."
As my most outspoken partner calls it, "The Department of Taking Your Stuff."
So other than the easy surface explanation of the rich exploiting the weak, what else does this tell you? Seen with blinders on, nothing. Take the blinders off, open the mind and become extremely dangerous to the government as you become a more sentient being.

Well, we could believe the eye witness accounts that the birds were panicked and disoriented by fireworks, and flew into buildings and power lines, but this is so much more fun.
Dead fish? Mmmmmmm. Sushi.
+1 gazillion! Thank you for my New Year's present and new screensaver! I just love the look on that cat's face!!!! It's freaking hilarious! LOL! I was thinking of the first picure but am going to save them all and rotate them.
YES!!!!!
Jesu Christmas! You are one sharp dude!
How did you ever get ahold of my photo (the top one with the glasses)????
At least your neural nets are protected from the EMP. And really, that's what it's all about anyway!
But the telepaths don't use EM fields, so they can scan your cat with ease.
Gonna be grillin' the best steak I can find and havin' a toddy when the wave comes in on the east coast.
Want me to send you the vid?
The Nephalim are coming
Yes, indeed.
Nephilim are returning...as 'gods'.
Yahweh is my Yireh.
Well that should be great for stocks as unemployment will obviously drop to zero when we return to forced labor. I bet Vulcan will be "hiring" en masse....
You sure they aren't coming back as crazy people?

Bullshit - Jan 6, 2011
Terrence McKenna was way cool though
wish he was still here
I'm at the end of book 3 in the Ra material.. wild stuff. Not the most eloquent writing, but then it's "channeled".
P.S. If your not into reading that type of stuff, the spoiler is: the planet is moving into fourth density, while humans are still third density. So all third density beings will be wiped out and their souls reincarnated on a another third density planet (unless you 'graduate' to fourth density). Earth will become home to fourth density beings. That's the 1000' description..
I'm not a religious/conspirationist man at all, but I still have some doubts concerning 2012.
It's funny that the global destruction of the entire economical system, with everlasting consequences, will probably happen in 2012. This is an interesting coincidence, like the start of the Kali Yuga age in Indian mythology. So much hype has been made on 2012 that there is too much bullshit concerning this right now. But the Mayans, like the Ancient Egyptians, were a pretty smart and mysterious crowd. Maybe they were right somehow.
Next you'll be saying you weren't killed like the rest of us when the YEAR 2000 rolled around.
I'm still dead, lo these 11 years later.
How is Japan this time of year?
The mayans had a round calendar much like a clock. To call it an end seems problematic to me. We destroyed their writings, so we really don't have enough information.
As for 2012, I think it will be declared a hoax as 2012 passes much like 2000 was, only to be revisted a hundred years later and marked as a turning point. A turning point that is so large and slow, it will not be seen in day to day life.
I like your thesis. At least, more than i like how somehow, at a single point in time, the world will end on one particular day. Also, how does one take into account the different time zones? Will it be exactly at NOON in Australia on Dec 21 or will it have to be noon in NYC??
Sheesh, what a question. These things ALWAYS are tuned to New York time.
It seems to me the year 2000 bug and the Mayan calendar issue spring from similar roots.
In the 70s, 80s (and even 90s) programmers couldn't be arsed using 4 digits for the year - for storage reasons in some cases, and just short sighted laziness in others.
The Mayan Calendar was thousands of years long. They didn't bother detailing what happened after 2012 because it was hundreds of years in the future when they stopped being a functioning culture.
Nah, don't worry, it's the end of the AGE not the end of the world!!!!
Check the Movie ZEITGEIST (new zeitgeist movie out this month too!!)
Putting on my tin foil hat a moment, the map is notable for where there are no incidents... China and Russia. With China apparently open to pre-emptive nuclear strikes, who is to say they haven't already struck? We should all be a lot more paranoid, and worrying that this whole financial mess is actually a diversion for the real show. The housing bubble was no mistake. This stock market rally is no mistake. And these die-offs are no mistake. We are almost at the inflection point of the nonlinearity.
I noted the same.
...and you thought Soviet Communism was dead.
This has more to do with media coverage than science.
How do I know? The map is missing pushpins.
Three years ago hundreds of North American elk died under unknown circumstances, literally 25% of a massive heard in the Rocky Mountains.
The reason? The heard got into a lichen that proved to be their demise.
+2 lols.
I thought exactly the same thing and could only surmise that whatever fell or washed up in the countries listed was likely processed and canned to be sold to the west......
Did they ever figure out who fired that missile of the Cali coast last month, and more importantly, where it landed?
Tyler's map doesn't have a pushpin in those countries but that doesn't mean similar events aren't occuring there. Let's not forget that neither China nor Russia are shining examples when it comes to sharing data about global events -- as one example, HIV infection rates went underreported there for decades.
>> Putting on my tin foil hat a moment, the map is notable for where there are no incidents... China and Russia.
No only that but Africa and the Middle East are completely clean. That might just be a lack of information though.
*Driver - Aids awareness/education is still lacking terribly in China. Friends there who have received top level university educations in the Chinese system have no idea about contraception or the dangers of STDs etc. Quite scary given most of them are randy as hell most of the time and sex does not have the associated western catholic/anglo guilt associated with it. It certainly will have lasting implications on the Chinese economy as this major issue there coincides with their rapidly ageing population to curtail growth and productivity.
Can you explain this further? Those things are indeed non-linear, but they are also definitely NOT (cor)related.
This is extremely tin-foil, but I'll contribute...
HR5026 was passed June 9th, 2010.
Mass hysteria. It's a typical psychosocial phenomenon.
Large amounts of birds and fish die all the time. It's a normal thing. People just don't pay attention to this. Now people are paying attention, because of the press coverage. And small facts that otherwise would never become "international news" are now flashing in the screens.
Do you think it is a coincidence that most of the "phenomena" are happening in English speaking countries (US, UK, Australia, New Zealand)? Typical mass hysteria, amplified by the English language media coverage.
And by the proliferation of internet information flow with little or no editorial control of content. The internet is the most abused form of information flow in history, and it will only get worse.
Or, most of us suffer from normalcy bias and cannot see that these events are ominous signs of the END!
Watauga, I'll buy the normalcy bias thesis.
We cannot acknowledge too much change, it makes people mad.
And to Zina's point above, this is not Normal. Not in this globally co-ordinated fashion.
ORI
Ori,
I replied to your post but it looks like they have been deleted. In summary I'll post something on your site soon and now have more context to your thoughts. Mistook the original for some of the tinfoil hat rants that grace ZH much to my bemusement.... :)
Yeah I can't stand the abused flow of information on the Internet - it just plain sucks having to determine for myself who makes sense and who does not. Surely an established "journalist" from a "reputable source" like the New York Times would do a much better job telling me what to think, feel, and believe.
The issue is not one of independence, intelligence. It is one of volume. Take THIS piece on ZH. Cut into it ideas about climate change, government conspiracies, global business. . . and you can see that it is IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to figure out what may be true (insofar as truth can even be discerned with respect to anything). You would have to spend weeks and weeks, maybe months or even years, to figure out, from all the information on the internet connected to this one ZH story, what you BELIEVE to be true. That is fine, and it is nicely independent, but you will have starved to death in the meantime.
We HAVE to select our sources (e.g., THE BIBLE, CHRONICLES (A MAGAZINE OF AMERICAN CULTURE), ZH, and "the great books"), reflect upon the issues, and reach conclusions based upon that analysis. Otherwise, we cannot function.
So, here, I am NOT advocating that you simply accept what the NYT may tell you, or what the Washington Post, or TIME, or NEWSWEEK, or even ZH may tell you. I am advocating that you apply YOUR screens, use YOUR analytical abilities, and reach YOUR own conclusions.
All of that said, it does not mean that the internet is not grossly abused and grossly manipulated. The volume, essentially, is infinite. Editorial screening by sources you trust (I have mine, you have yours) helps. But there is no doubt that the internet can be used to manipulate mass hysteria. Heck, look at the Bird Flu crisis, the Swine Flu crisis, and all sorts of other manufactured crises. The internet contributed mightily to the success the benefactors of the crises enjoyed as a result of fanning the flames of panic.
"The internet is the most abused form of information flow in history, and it will only get worse."
I agree that much of the information you'll come across online is completely made up. However, I certainly hope that you're not an advocate of Internet censorship or some kind of centralized editing process. The free flow of ideas, even bad ones, is compounding our potential for expanding knowledge. A good rule of thumb is to always check and double check information you receive online, but that goes for any information source.
To cut off this river of ideas would be a grave disservice to humanity. Instead, it would be more productive to advocate that people utilize critical thinking skills as well as engage in fact checking before assuming that their understanding of the subject in question is adequate enough to pass on to others.
...A good rule of thumb is to always check and double check information you receive...
Corroborating witnesses are typically required for legitimate testimony.
...advocate that people utilize critical thinking skills...
Originally, rhetorical skills were taught as a means of seeking and arriving at "truth". (Not the contemporary definition descrbing an attorney's craft of distortion.) They were presented as the logos, ethos and pathos, i.e. logic, social and emotional filters humans use to build individual and societal norms. The internet has failed to improve on Aristotle's model even to this day.
...engage in fact checking...
However, Google may be to the information dispersal world what a Facebook / GS-algo laced filter may become for a select few "fact checkers" to eliminate / control future dissent. imo.
I understand what you're saying here, but this doesn't change my opposition to internet censorship. I would be opposed to the government censoring information, as I am opposed to google directing the flow of information. Alas, the potential to utilize the internet for social engineering is going to be too tempting.
Typical, and probably doesn't even need to be hysteria to have an impact. Aside from the bird thing (which may be nothing, I'll admit), I see businesses just not spending money, because they are waiting for something (Godot?). This a spending clampdown reminiscent of 2008. This is based on the belief that they need to keep the money for themselves... and it is killing business. I've never known that a booming economy could hurt so much.
I doubt this is as regular as the authorities have made It out to be.
Reporter: "Have you any idea what caused this mass bird death in your town?"
Vet: "No but it's nothing unusual, happens all the time."
Reporter: "How often?"
Vet: "Every few months a cloud of thousands of birds rains down on our town like a barrage of feathery missiles, their organs are usually liquidated. I don't know what causes it but it really scares the kids. Nothing unusual though."
Reporter: "Thank you, good to hear."
I just don't believe it.
At least as far as the U.S. is concerned, it sure appears that the bulk of these incidents have occurred along major migration routes--the Mississippi and the East Coast. Certainly there is a connection.
Three obvious possibilities come to mind. First, the Gulf Oil Spill may well have been at least a partial cause of these mass death events. Second, is it not possible that GMO seeds/plants somehow adversely impact the physiology of the animals that consume them? Third, the massive use of chemicals in our country might well have led to toxicity levels that have reached a tipping point with respect to the health of the animals that live and consume in our marshes, rivers, lakes, and fields.
As for a government or global conspiracy, and as for the Mayans or the coming of the apocalypse, our worrying about it won't make a bit of difference, so why bother?
Finally, SELL GOLD AND SILVER NOW! THE END IS NEAR!
Gotta think that "along major migration routes" is a lot of the answer to the question of why these die-offs are happening where they are. That just happens to be were the avian population is concentrated. A lot more humans die in Dade county than in West Bumfuck, Oklahoma, too.
I am with the magnetic pole shift idea. The bees and birds navigation systems are based off of the magentic fields.
Probably right. It always amazes me how Nature is far more complex than an anthropocentrist view would show. Most furry animals, for example, have an internal biologic clock that adjusts their production of hair to the season. It's more complex than one would think.
So when Dad told me about the birds and the bees that's what he was talking about? :>)
I kept a huge apiary in my youth, so I've been following the bee colony die-off story closely.
It has nothing to do w/ magnetic fields.
It has everything to do with the increased use of Nicotine-based pesticides like imidachloprid - which have been been banned in most EU countries specifically for this reason...not here though... Bayer makes too many campaign contributions.
Add to this new strains of imported bee viruses and the weakened colonies collapse.
I have a full, unopened bottle of insecticide at home precisely because of this. Bees are incredibly susceptible to the nicotine based insecticides. I picked up the bottle by mistake. It would be kind of hypocritical of me to grow all open-pollinated seeds and used a nicotine based pesticide.
pods
Plenty of natural alternatives to commercial insecticides. I use no insecticides in my garden. Bees are always a most welcome visitor and I don't want to do anything to disrupt their presence.
When You Got Insect Friends
We plant a variety of beneficial insect attracting flowering plants along the fence line. Every bed has a variety of complimentary plants, herbs and vegetables (no monoculture)...
And Guess What?
Rich organic soil, bees and insects...
No need for pesticides...
Yep...composting has done wonders for the soil in my garden. Glad to know I'm not the only gardener here at ZH. Should start a post with tips and advice for those interested in gardening. Especially with all the talk about self sufficiency and growing your own food here. Probably a lot of good advice to share! Cheers!
bah!
Isn't it easier to just bludgeon nature with science? If the bees die from pesticides, that just means we need to make bees that are less wimpy...
Ma Nature is stubborn floozy; she never learns!
/sarc/
Robo-Bees!
So.....if there are no birds.....and no bees left....then it follows there will be no discussion of "the birds and bees" given to the generations to come.....therefore, humanity's extinction.
I long suspected it was part of the Bilderberger mass extinction plot.
Have you noticed, per chance, the number of cell phone towers spread across the country like tall, gangly tomb stones. That represents a lot of microwave energy flowing around 24/7. Just sayin.
Just ask any communications tech about tower bird kills, happens 24/7 365. At one communications site in Nashville TN, 15,000 migratory birds killed in one night.
The Debt has grown so massive it is creating its own gravity, such and such, and so forth...
Black Hole?
Got a friend in the oil industry, apparently the whole eastern seaboard is f*&ked. The chemicals injected into the offshore wells for natural gas extraction has destroyed the ecosystem. All the groundwater is contaminated and we are witnessing the beginning of the chain reaction.
There are very few offshore wells on the Eastern seaboard. None of the lefties want them in view. In fact, there have been no leases granted off the East coast for over 20 years.
PS - I wasn't the one that junked you.
Damn those lefties. How are we supposed to finish off this beknighted planet if people keep getting in the way?
