i hope this is not a repeat post -- here's a reputable woman who says it's phosgene gas -- deliberately used -- NWO population reduction

IMHO, Colleen Thomas is NOT a reputable woman. She rambles on and on in a very disconnected manner on a multitude of subjects and makes Conspiracy Theory appear quite ridiculous. This kind of commentary I can do without...

HOWEVER, there is a very good, comprehensive article I copied from Food Freedom.com following from:
http://foodfreedom.wordpress.com/201...king-arkansas/
Jan. 7 UPDATE
Missing from this report is the information that the US military apparently drilled 500 deep wells in Central Arkansas to dispose of phosgene, a highly toxic gas that causes the respiratory system to explode. (As reported below, deep well drilling causes earthquakes.) According to the EU Times, Russia’s spy agency, GRU, reported that the US relocated 63,000 metric tons of phosgene from Iraq to the Arkansas’ Pine Bluff Arsenal, the nation’s premier chemical and bio weapons lab. Some or most of this material was and continues to be relocated to Afghanistan.

The GRU report claims that while transporting the gas via a US Air Force KC-767 tanker aircraft, a “malfunction” occurred in the aerial spraying system on December 30, killing 100,000 fish along a 20-mile stretch of the Arkansas River near Roseville. The next day, on another KC-767, again the aerial spraying system “malfunctioned” killing 5,000 blackbirds near Beebe.

According to CNN, “the birds suffered from acute physical trauma leading to internal hemorrhage and death.” A spokesperson for the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission “said the birds showed evidence of trauma in the breast tissue, with blood clots in the body cavity and a lot of internal bleeding. All major organs were normal.”

Bioweapons expert John Wheeler threatened to expose the operation and, according to GRU, was killed for it.

Given this new information, I modify my thesis. I now think the Arkansas fish kill and bird kill are a result of phosgene gas, rather than fracking. All the rest of the information stands, but the news about phosgene presents a more compelling explanation for the mass kills.

Original Report:

Food Freedom

The last four months of 2010, nearly 500 earthquakes rattled Guy, Arkansas. [1] The entire state experienced 38 quakes in 2009. [2] The spike in quake frequency precedes and coincides with the 100,000 dead fish on a 20-mile stretch of the Arkansas River that included Roseville Township on December 30. The next night, 5,000 red-winged blackbirds and starlings dropped dead out of the sky in Beebe. [3] Hydraulic fracturing is the most likely culprit for all three events, as it causes earthquakes with a resultant release of toxins into the environment. [4]

A close look at Arkansas’ history of earthquakes and drilling reveals a shocking surge in quake frequency following advanced drilling. The number of quakes in 2010 nearly equals all of Arkansas’ quakes for the entire 20th century. The oil and gas industry denies any correlation, but the advent of hydrofracking followed by earthquakes is a story repeated across the nation. It isn’t going to stop any time soon, either. Fracking has gone global.

Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) pumps water and chemicals into the ground at a pressurized rate exceeding what the bedrock can withstand, resulting in a microquake that produces rock fractures. Though initiated in 1947, technological advances now allow horizontal fracturing, vastly increasing oil and gas collection. [5] In 1996, shale-gas production in the U.S. accounted for 2 percent of all domestic natural gas production, reports Christopher Bateman in Vanity Fair. “Some industry analysts predict shale gas will represent a full half of total domestic gas production within 10 years.” [6] In 2000, U.S. gas reserve estimates stood at 177 trillion cubic feet, but ramped up to 245 tcf in 2008. These new technologies prompt experts to increase global gas reserve estimates ninefold. [7]

The grid below shows a section of the Arkansas River, with Roseville Township at bottom, where the first reports of the fish kill originated. The green lines surrounding and crossing the river indicate gas pipes, ranging from 8-20” in diameter. Any number of leaks in the pipes can explain the fish kill. Gas wells are shown by yellow ‘suns’ (see red arrows) and range from 1,500 to 6,500 feet deep. (Disposal wells, where drilling waste products are injected at high pressures, go as deep as 12,000 feet.) The red numbers next to the ‘suns’ give the number of gas wells in that spot, numbering close to 50 in this small area. [8]

(The gray numbers relate to the Township Numbering System. Each square equals one square mile. Click map for larger image.)

In December alone, over 150 earthquakes rocked Arkansas. [1] The swarm of quakes in Guy likely results from six years of intense drilling. Guy sits within the Fayetteville Shale Formation which, according to the Arkansas Geological Survey (AGS), is “the current focus of a regional shale-gas exploration and development program.” A billion cubic feet of gas has been produced from this area since 2004. [9]

Thousands of wells are in operation in North-Central Arkansas (blue section of the following map). [10] Beebe, where the bird kill occurred, is in White County and Guy is at the northern end of Faulkner Co., where the anomalous earthquakes continue.

Red-winged blackbirds roost in clusters up to a million or more birds, often with other species like starlings and cowbirds. (In the 1950s and ’60s, roosts could number 20 million birds.) Blackbirds prefer low, dense vegetative cover in wetlands or near streams. Though some may perch 30 feet above the water, most perch within one to two feet of it, and some will roost with their feet resting in water. Blackbirds can range up to 50 miles a day from roost to feeding sites, but they all settle in for the night before sunset. [11]

An earthquake of whatever scale can release a stream or cloud of gas and fracking chemicals which could easily explain why sleeping birds would suddenly take flight, and then quickly die as they succumbed to the toxic fumes. Of note, eight measured quakes within 40 miles of Beebe, and within 75 miles of Roseville, hit the area on December 30 thru several minutes past midnight on January 1st. [12] This excludes any micro- or miniquakes which can have the same effect. Significantly, the area is known for its prolific microquakes — numbering 40,000 since 1982. [1]

Canadian Geologist Jack Century crusades against induced seismicity from irresponsible drilling. In a 2009 speech before the Peace River Environmental Society, he provided a brief explanation of how fracking induces earthquakes, completely refuting industry denial that fracking causes quakes. Fracking induces not only micro- and mini-seismic actions that can compromise the integrity of well casings, but also large earthquakes registering on the order of 5 to 7 on the Richter Scale, resulting in human deaths. [13]

Scott Ausbrooks, geohazards supervisor for AGS, told CNN in December that while earthquakes aren’t unusual in Arkansas, the frequency is. [14] Indeed, they’ve had a 1,200 percent increase in earthquakes over 2009 data just in the last four months of 2010. All of the quakes registered less than 3 on the Richter Scale; over 98% of them occurred near Guy, where we find the largest concentration of gas wells; and 99% occurred outside the New Madrid Fault zone (circled in red below) where seismic activity is expected, implying they are human induced [1]:

Though AGS publicly claims no earthquake relation to drilling, in early December, Arkansas banned new drilling permits until further notice.

CNN reported that “According to the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission, there are at least a half dozen ‘disposal wells’ within a 500-square-mile zone around Guy.” Ausbrooks noted similar “incidents in Colorado in the 1960s at Rocky Mountain Arsenal, where deep water injection was tied to earthquakes.” [14]
Arkansas Earthquake and Drilling History

When comparing Arkansas’ earthquake history with its drilling history, a causative correlation becomes obvious.

The entire 19th century saw 15 recorded earthquakes and none in the first decade of the new century. A total of 694 quakes rocked Arkansas in the 20th century. That number was surpassed in 2009-2010, with the bulk (483) occurring the last three months of 2010. Table 1 was prepared using complete quake data thru 2009 [15], complete data from August thru December, 2010 [1], and just North Central Arkansas quake data from January thru July, 2010. [16]

Arkla, Inc., through its many morphs, mergers and acquisitions, is and has been a key gas driller in Arkansas. Between 1975 and the early 1980s, the company found more gas than it produced. By 1982, Arkla was able to sell Central Louisiana Electric Company more than 100 million cubic feet of gas daily. By the early 1990s, it operated the sixth-largest pipeline system in the United States and was among the ten largest operators of natural gas reserves. [17] Its production timeline coincides with the massive jump in earthquakes in the 1970s and 1980s. Today, 37 companies drill for gas and oil in Arkansas. [18]
Unregulated Fracking on a Global March

The U.S. and Canada are not alone in exploiting this highly destructive technology. Poland also embraces fracking. Several energy companies are currently exploring Poland’s reserves, including Conoco-Phillips, ExxonMobil, Marathon, Chevron, Talisman, Lane Energy, BNK Petroleum, Emfesz, EurEnergy Resources, RAG, San Leon Energy and Sorgenia E&P. [19] These new technologies will significantly impact the global trade in natural gas, according to Forbes [20]:

“Poland consumes 14 billion cubic meters of gas a year and imports more than 70% of it from Russia. It is easy to see how the country could benefit from starting shale gas drilling as soon as possible. Not only could it decrease its dependency on Russia, it might even turn into a gas exporter.”

Bateman noted that Western and Central Europe have leased their lands to frackers. Australians are suffering from the same frack contaminations as Americans, and China is also exploiting the new technology. [6]

Josh Fox’s 2010 film, Gasland, documents a multitude of harmful consequences on animal and human life, as well as property values. The most infamous scene shows people able to ignite their contaminated tap water [21]:

Fox makes the point that Dick Cheney’s former company, Halliburton, lobbied for and won exemptions from the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, Superfund, and the Safe Drinking Water Act, thanks to our corporate-owned Congress.

Nor do drillers have to disclose the toxic chemicals used, contrary to the 1986 Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act. [22] Though it did not hesitate to pass on Wall Street’s gambling debts to the public (twice), Congress has not found the will to pass the Fracturing Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals (FRAC) Act.

In 2004, the Environmental Protection Agency determined that fracking poses no threat to water supplies and that no further studies were needed. [23] From some Orwellian nightmare, however, at least 65 of the chemicals used in fracking are considered hazardous by the EPA. They have been linked to “cancer; liver, kidney, brain, respiratory and skin disorders; birth defects; and other health problems,” according to a 2005 report by the Oil and Gas Accountability Project. Of primary concern to citizens, OGAP notes that “Approximately half of the water that Americans rely on for drinking comes from underground sources.” [24]

Wyoming took a proactive stance on full disclosure of fracking chemicals when it passed new rules in September. Loopholes, however, still allow companies to claim proprietary ownership of such information, restricting it from public view. [25]

Given the EPA’s position that fracking is safe, it’s not likely that Arkansas citizens will get much help from the federal government. Nor will they find a friend at the state level. The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality has so far been unwilling or unable to stop UMETCO Minerals Corporation from illegally dumping toxic chemicals into streams. [26]

The same situation applies across the nation where state governments protect industry over environmental and human health. Recently, outgoing Governor David Paterson vetoed legislation that would have put a moratorium on vertical and horizontal hydraulic drilling in New York. [27] Already, Pennsylvania leases a third of its public lands to private energy drillers. [21]

Given government bias toward energy giants, and BP’s destruction of the Gulf of Mexico is a case in point, more direct action may be required by citizens, if environmental and human health are to be saved from the fossil fuel industry.

Mystery Bird Die-Off In Sonoma County

SANTA ROSA -- Days after massive bird die-offs in the south, Sonoma County officials Tuesday had a mystery of their own as more than 100 bird carcasses were discovered near Geyserville.

California Highway Patrol Officer Jon Sloat said the birds were discovered on to Independence Lane at about 2:30 p.m. Saturday.

The California Department of Fish and Game was notified and a local warden responded. He took several of the birds away to be identified and tested by a biologist, Sloat told the San Rosa Press Democrat.

The birds all appeared to be the same species – small in size with brown and black feathers.

The incident came just days after thousands of blackbirds died in Arkansas and Louisiana. According to the National Wildlife Health Center , the birds died of unexplained blunt-force trauma.

Samples of the blackbirds were taken to the center’s Madison, Wisconsin, lab where they were examined.

"They died of impact force to their bodies," said Scott Wright, chief of disease investigations at the center.

Large bird kill reported near Geyserville

While scientists and specialists are investigating why massive numbers of birds have dropped dead from the sky elsewhere in the country, Sonoma County now has its own bird deaths mystery to solve, reported the CHP.

More than 100 birds were found dead Saturday afternoon clustered on the ground off of Highway 101, south of Geyserville, Officer Jon Sloat reported Monday.

Officers responded to Independence Lane at about 2:30 p.m. Saturday and found dozens of birds dead on and around the roadway.

The California Department of Fish and Game was notified and a local warden responded. He took several of the birds away to be identified and tested by a biologist, Sloat said.

Most U.S. farms are in the South, but suppliers from Pennsylvania to California also raise crickets.

Alcohol poisoning, not avian flu, killed Romanian birds

Birds that were thought to have died from avian flu in Romania instead apparently drank themselves to death.

Residents of Constanta in eastern Romania found dozens of dead starlings on the outskirts of the city on Saturday.

They alerted authorities, fearing the birds had died from avian flu.

But local veterinary officials decided the starlings had died after eating grape 'marc' - the leftovers from the wine-making process...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/12170571

a different explanation...

[MorningSong]

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this, byt RSOE has a section on their alert page called Mass Die-off: http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/index2.php

They've reported 17 cases with some updates.

This is the latest from today:

Hundreds of fish have been found dead in a Manchester pond in the latest bizarre mass animal deaths. Experts say the freezing weather caused the deaths. Nature lover Stuart Hall, 60, spotted the fish in the pond on Chudleigh Close, Stockport, during a walk near his home. The 500 fish - many thought to be large bream and pike - were set in the ice on the pond. Mr Hall, of Mostyn Road, Hazel Grove, said he was worried the water may be poisoned. He said: "I was shocked, it was awful to see all that life just gone. It's like the 'birds dropping from the trees' scenario, but on a much larger scale. "When you love nature and the countryside it's heartbreaking. There is no sign of life here whatsoever - not one duck." It’s the latest in a series of strange animal deaths around the world which has claimed the lives of birds including doves, coots and starlings and several species of fish. Tony Bielderman from Stockport and District Anglers' Federation, which manages the pond, said: "We do not believe there is any pollution as such, but that this is a natural occurrence which has happened during the extremely cold weather we have suffered for a month or so. "The numbers involved are 400-500 fish - I wouldn't think it's the full stock by any means." The Environment Agency said people should contact them if they suspected fish were in trouble elsewhere. A spokesman said: "This has happened in a few places across the north west. Ice forms on the top of the water and cuts down the oxygen, causing the fish to struggle. "Lots of fishing clubs have aeration equipment which pumps oxygen into the water and sometimes we may advise that the ice is broken in some places, so that oxygen can start to be recreated under the ice."

i don't think anyone else has posted this -- i'm starting to think that all these deaths are from different causes -- but from one source --the NWO --

Windfarms, submarines, giant sharks... What IS killing Britain's seals?
By David Jones
Last updated at 10:51 AM on 24th August 2010
Comments (21) Add to My Stories On a blustery August afternoon, there can be few more quintessentially English pleasures than taking a boat trip to marvel at the harbour seals basking in their summer breeding colony on the North Norfolk coast.

Last Wednesday, anorak-clad children giggled with anticipation as they clambered aboard the Seafarer, one of 10 boats that ferry holidaymakers out to the sand-flats.

Their parents were only marginally less excited.

Harsh truth: Dozens of seals have washed up dead mutilated by a macabre cutting wound
And when someone spotted the first whiskery nose, poking curiously above the slate-grey shallows, even the most blasé teenager pocketed her iPhone and gazed at the creature in wonder.

Our skipper, Jason Bean, whose family has run seal-watching tours to Blakeney Point for more than half a century, assured us the seals were just as untroubled as they appeared.

'As you can see, they don't do a lot, seals,' he remarked in his laconic East Anglian brogue, gesturing towards hundreds of brown figures lazing on the sands like a tray of gently basting sausages.

'In fact, for 90 per cent of the time they do nothing at all. Also, because they have no predators, they don't need to worry about anything. So it's not a bad life being a seal. They say it's a dog's life, but it's a seal's life, really. Very few die of stress.'


More...Mystery as 'corkscrew' kills dozens of Scottish seals

The ruddy-faced 40-year-old finished his commentary with a well-worn joke. 'They'll eat any kind of fish; even tuna...but they do struggle to open the tin."

As always, everyone laughed. But as Mr Bean later admitted to me, if he had told his 50 passengers what has really been happening to the Blakeney seals in recent months, the mood on the boat would have been more sombre. He just couldn't bring himself to do it.

For in truth this magical colony of about 600 seals is not safe at all. Something dreadful, mysterious and deeply perturbing is striking them down.

Dozens of them have been washed up dead - mutilated by a macabre cutting wound, which begins at the neck and spirals around their bodies, slicing through their thick outer coat and blubber in a continuous incision, as if they had been fed through a huge pencil-sharpener.

Another colony of about 120 seals, 300 miles up the coast in Eastern Scotland, has been similarly hit. And since this second group has already been drastically depleted in recent years, the threat there is even more serious.

Corkscrew killer: An artist's depiction of the wounds found on dead seals
In all, 52 seals have been found with this same, weirdly distinctive injury, several of them heavily pregnant females. It is feared that many more may have died without their bodies being discovered.

The number of dead seals is so alarming, and their wounds are so unusual and horrific, that Britain's top marine scientists and sea mammal experts are working with police to find the cause.

The inquiry is as thorough as a serious criminal investigation - and in fact, as it as an offence to kill seals inhumanely and without very good reason, it may turn out to be just that. But after almost two months the investigators are no nearer to finding the 'corkscrew' seal killer.

'Whatever is causing these injuries, this is a very major inquiry because the seals of North Norfolk are iconic.' Is it some sort of huge, propeller-driven boat engine? Is it a huge shark, or some heartless fisherman who regards seals as fish- devouring vermin and has devised a cruelly efficient way of eradicating them?

Then again, could it be something even stranger and more sinister - some creature or contraption as yet unimagined?

As he spends hours studying tidal flow charts and plotting movements in the busy North Sea shipping lane that runs adjacent to Blakeney Point, such questions gnaw away at Inspector Mike Brown, the Norfolk officer leading the police side of the inquiry.

'There must have been about 1,000 theories,' says the silver-haired native Channel Islander. 'I've even had people saying it's like The X Files and asking when we are going to send for Mulder and Scully . . . but sometimes science fiction becomes science fact.

'Whatever is causing these injuries, this is a very major inquiry because the seals of North Norfolk are iconic. They are important to the ecology of the area and incredibly important to the economy.'

They are indeed. It is reckoned that as many as 100,000 people each year pay £8 to go seal-watching and if the seals disappear, so will the tourists - which explains why Jason Bean and the other guides are so reluctant to mention the gruesome spate of deaths in their commentary.

Rather like those town councillors who ran the fictitious U.S. seaside resort of Amity Island in the film Jaws and denied the shark posed any danger, they clearly fear that speaking about the mutilations could ruin a thriving business.

'I don't see why we should go around telling people about this,' snapped Jason's father, Graham, 67, when I questioned why the tourists were being shielded from the truth.

'They haven't come here to see rotten, gutted seals. We don't want to spread doom and gloom.'

Terrible end: The number of dead seals is alarming and their wounds are very unusual and horrific
His concern is understandable. People in these parts are even beginning to draw parallels with two previous disasters that devastated the East Coast seal population - the outbreaks of phocine distemper virus (PDV) which killed thousands in 1988 and 2002.

'I was 18 when the first virus broke out but I'll never forget it,' said Jason. 'We had over 1,000 seals here in 1988 and afterwards there were just 250.

'Their immune systems failed and they were sneezing, and they couldn't dive. They'd float for a while, then just die and float ashore.

'There were so many that they had to fetch a mechanical digger to dig a mass-grave. That virus was a mystery, too.

'We aren't anywhere near that yet, but it is very worrying.'

This latest seal crisis actually dates back to the summer of 2008, when the first two carcasses were found near the Firth of Forth, but at the time their distinctive wounds were dismissed as some freak occurrence.

Since then, however, a further 12 corpses have been beached in Scotland, and 38 in Norfolk, all in a circumference of about a mile on Blakeney Point.

Mr Brown believes the true toll in Norfolk could be double that number.

'With an ordinary propeller there would be damage to the ribs, but here it’s as if the skin and flesh have been peeled off in a spiral.' Dave Wood, National Trust head warden for the Norfolk coast, says: 'One was washed up a year-and-a-half ago, but the majority have been found by our site wardens in the past few months.

'We had a spell at the end of June, early July, when we were finding one every day or two for a couple of weeks. It is distressing to find any dead seal, but their injuries were gruesome.'

The latest seal was found last week and as with the others, it was sent for an autopsy. Bob Reid, a scientist from the Scottish Agricultural College's Veterinary Laboratory in Inverness, who has conducted five of the post-mortem examinations, says he has never seen anything remotely like this in his 18-year career.

‘We are at a total loss to understand what’s happened to these seals,’ he told the Mail.

‘These were healthy animals with good blubber thickness.

‘The most striking thing is that there are no fractures of the bones. With an ordinary propeller there would be damage to the ribs, but here it’s as if the skin and flesh have been peeled off in a spiral.

‘People initially wondered if this was man-made with a knife, but it would be impossible to reproduce what’s happening.

‘Our first thought was that somebody somewhere must have known that they’ve done this. These animals are pretty big — 100kg or 220lb — and even aboard a big vessel
you’d see, feel or hear something. There’d be quite a thump and there may even be damage to the equipment. I’m absolutely confident it’s not a shark — this has to be a mechanical device of some sort.’

One of Britain’s leading seal experts, Dr David Thompson, who is heading inquires for the Sea Mammal Research Unit, agrees — although he concedes that he and his co-investigators could be inhibited by ‘the limits of our imagination’.

In danger: The very lifestyle of the seal is being threatened after a large number have been washed up with horrific injuries
He feels reasonably confident that the injuries are being caused by some type of big ducted propeller — that is, one inside a casing — and that it either sucks the seals in or arouses their natural curiosity so that they actively swim towards it.

‘Seals are not stupid,’ he says.

‘They are as intelligent and trainable as dogs, so you would expect them to sense danger, and for some reason they aren’t in this case.

‘That’s the flaw in the propeller argument. It’s quite hard to say why they would swim towards that.’

Even if this theory proves correct, he adds, it will be a big jump to identify the precise device, much less locate it. For ducted propellers are found on any number of seagoing vessels, from ferries to supply boats and rigs plying the East Coast.

At all events, with a policeman’s caution, Inspector Brown believes it is far too early to focus on any device at the exclusion of all else.

One theory he has been exploring is that the seals’ skin was peeled away by something called an Azimuth Drive engine, which rotates at high speed and is fitted to the corners of huge rigs and heavy lifting vessels.

One such rig — a 300ft tall contraption called the HLV Svanem — just so happens to be stationed a few miles off Blakeney Point, where it is being used to install the platforms for a controversial new wind farm that will supply energy to 220,000 homes.

Gotcha! Or at least that’s what many people thought. But then they remembered the rig appeared on the horizon only last March, months after the first seal was washed ashore.

‘It would take two people just to lift one, and their blubber is so thick that I don’t know how it could be done by hand, even if you get near them.’ Its operators also say the huge engines are used only when it is moving to different locations, and this one has been fixed in position for months.

Its Azimuth engines are also surrounded by shields designed to ward away sea mammals, though according to Inspector Brown they do not provide complete protection.

Statoil, the Norwegian energy company that will operate the wind farm, insists it is not to blame.

‘We have checked our rigs and vessels, and so have the police, and so far nothing has been found that has caused these terrible injuries,’ said a spokesman.

Another device that Inspector Brown has examined is an Archimedes Screw, which looks like a giant pasta twirl and swivels inside a casing, sucking in water to create hydro-electricity.

‘Looking at the seals’ injuries, this seemed a prime suspect,’ he says.

‘There’s only one problem — we’ve checked through local council records and there aren’t any in the area. The same goes for tidal generators.’

What, then, of the theory that the wounds were caused by huge, razor-sharp teeth?

Again, the notion has been explored but doesn’t stand up — and the post mortem results categorically rule out the involvement of sharks.

Inspector Brown has also pondered the chilling possibility that the seals were sliced from neck to tail by humans, but says: ‘It would take two people just to lift one, and their blubber is so thick that I don’t know how it could be done by hand, even if you get near them.’

How about a submarine? Perhaps a military one operating secretly off the coast?

Again, the officer has mulled it over. But even several miles out in the shipping lane, at around 60ft deep the water is probably too shallow for one of sufficient size to do this kind of damage.

Moreover, it seems likely — though not certain — that the seals are being killed quite close to the sand-flats, because they wash ashore within a few hours and are invariably found ‘fresh’, before scavengers begin to peck at them.

And so the theories roll on. Quite often, Inspector Brown works late into the evening — without claiming overtime — to wrestle with them; and on Wednesday he was out on the shore at midnight to collect two more seal carcasses.

This time, mercifully, they appeared to have died naturally.

Is he confident the great seal mystery will soon be resolved? ‘No,’ he says candidly.

‘But I’m determined to keep trying, because only when we know the cause of this can we begin to negate it.

‘You just can’t imagine North Norfolk without its seals, and if this carries on they could all disappear. I certainly don’t want to be sitting here when that happens, because history would judge me harshly.’

Dramatic words, but then, as thousands of holidaymakers have discovered this summer, there is something about the seal that stirs the soul. Let’s hope they are saved quickly from the

I think you should study the video in this article more closely:

http://www.todaysthv.com/news/local/...1&provider=top

It’s not magnetic fields nor weather, but a stationary phenomenon at 1500 feet above the ground.
It also seemed to appear periodically within a limited timeframe.
The male commentator seems a bit stressed while he explained what it is NOT. It is “a non specific target” which does not move together with other weather patterns.

Watch the video!

The most telling picture is not shown in the video,
but has been placed in plain sight behind the commentator.
It looks like a solid object, because the radar signature is so pronounced. The screen behind the woman makes it all clear:

It is a huge elongated triangle, with straight sides and sharp corners, surrounded by something which looks like a shockwave:

This “shockwave” might be responsible for the death of the birds, either directly or indirectly.
I do not think that a HAARP impulse will have that particular initial signature.
Whether this particular killing is just a side-effect of another huge operation, or whether it is been intentionally staged is the question.

Maybe it is a false flag on Nature to boost doomsday prophets and theories?

Maybe a trial run of the Alien false flag?

In any case the real cosmic fireworks might start very soon…

Its got something to do with HAARP and the magnetic anomalies going on everywhere. Really strange weather patterns here which doesnt help the field fare birds which fly in from scandinavia to find no food- birds are sybiotic -as they fly as one they also die as one

Chem trails?
Colder altitudes?

And a third of the birds fish and land animals were killed?

Antimatter caught streaming from thunderstorms on Earth

A space telescope has accidentally spotted thunderstorms on Earth producing beams of antimatter.

Such storms have long been known to give rise to fleeting sparks of light called terrestrial gamma-ray flashes.

But results from the Fermi telescope show they also give out streams of electrons and their antimatter counterparts, positrons.

The surprise result was presented by researchers at the American Astronomical Society meeting in the US.

It deepens a mystery about terrestrial gamma-ray flashes, or TGFs - sparks of light that are estimated to occur 500 times a day in thunderstorms on Earth. They are a complex interplay of light and matter whose origin is poorly understood.

Thunderstorms are known to create tremendously high electric fields - evidenced by lightning strikes.

Electrons in storm regions are accelerated by the fields, reaching speeds near that of light and emitting high-energy light rays - gamma rays - as they are deflected by atoms and molecules they encounter.

These flashes are intense - for a thousandth of a second, they can produce as many charged particles from one flash as are passing through the entire Earth's atmosphere from all other processes.

are they using Thorium to produce clouds?

The release produced a Punch hole in the cloud? What if you were a bird flying below this energy release?

what happens when the release is downward? or isn't that possible?

Could this be the reason why many UFO's are attracked by thunderstorms....?

371 dead birds fell from the sky over Los Angeles, California, and hit the pavement at Sunset and Cahuenga. In the great shadow of the CNN building laid scattered hundreds of pigeons, most of them dead. This
is another incident of dead birds falling from the sky, as has been seen in California, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Sweden, Italy, and other places around the world.

If today's dead bird incident had been a singular event, we could have blamed Los Angeles smog. 371 birds could no longer take the poor air quality and decided to choke and fall.
