The recent mass bird and fish deaths have been on my mind lately. What is causing the deaths? Are they somehow related? Is it time to panic yet? The official explanations don’t seem to answer all the questions. On the other hand, there are so many unfounded conjectures and panic-induced conclusions being made that the subject quickly becomes clouded. Is the end near? Probably not, but for whatever reason, things are rapidly getting weirder as we move into the second decade of this millennium.
On New Years Eve, over 5000 red-winged blackbirds fell dead from the sky. The birds fell over a several mile radius near Beebe, Arkansas. While dead birds falling from the sky is not unprecedented, such a large quantity over such a small area is alarming. According to lab test results, there was no sign of disease in the bodies of the birds. There was evidence of mass trauma, especially in the breast tissue.
While officials try to explain the incident with theories of fireworks, lightning strikes, and high altitude hail storms, others are not convinced. After all, fireworks go off every year all over the world. None of the birds were singed or burned. Also, why was only one species affected?
Less than a week later, another incident occurred. About 100 miles from Beebe, along a 20 mile stretch of the Arkansas River, over 100,000 Drum fish were found dead. Officials think it could be some sort of concentrated disease. However, they were quick to assure the public there was no contamination of the water supply. Some are claiming the fish died from cold water after a recent cold-snap. Again, why was only one species affected?
A quick look here shows that this type of event is happening all over the world. For example, 100 jackdaws in Sweden, over 1000 doves in Italy, and blackbirds dying off in Kentucky, Louisiana, Texas and other Southeastern States. While some of the events can be easily explained by natural phenomena, others are more mysterious. I’m not saying these events are all related or caused by the same thing, but there is an awful lot of mass animal deaths lately.
It seems like everybody has there own theory about what caused the deaths. Lets take a look at some of the more prominent theories in no particular order.
- Corexit – oil spill dispersant used by BP in the gulf. This was the first guess by many, but unless we’re being lied to about the test results of the bird and fish carcasses, Corexit was not the cause of death.
- Starlicide or gull toxicant – an avicide usually sprayed in December and January. It does target specific types of birds, but wouldn’t explain the fish. Again, unless we’re being lied to about the test results of the bird carcasses, Starlicide was not the cause.
- The rising amount of WiFi networks – While there are some possible health issues related to being immersed in radio waves from WiFi networks, there doesn’t seem to be any evidence pointing to this as a the cause.
- HARRP – No, I don’t mean “The Housing Authorities Risk Retention Pool.” I’m talking about the “High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program” which operates an ionospheric research facility located in Gakona, Alaska. The stated goal of the program is “to further advance our knowledge of the physical and electrical properties of the Earth’s ionosphere which can affect our military and civilian communication and navigation systems.” Similar systems also exist at other locations around the world.
- LRAD – a “Long Range Acoustic Device” can be used as a sonic weapon. Could the fish have been the target of an LRAD test? LRADs are already being used by Governments for crowd control purposes.
- The Apocalypse – Mass die offs could be a sign of the coming “End of Times” if you are inclined to believe in that sort of thing. I am not.
- Chemtrails – are shrouded in mystery themselves. Nobody seems to know exactly what they are, or what they’re being used for. They could be part of a weather control system, a communications system, or some sort of chemicals or biological agents deliberately sprayed at high altitudes for a purpose unknown to the public.
- New Madrid Seismic Zone – Natural seismic activity or perhaps hydraulic fracture drilling along this fault line may have released Methane gas. This could deplete the oxygen level from the water and cause the fish to suffocate. This could also have been ignited by fireworks to spook the birds.
- GMO mutation – Perhaps some of Monsanto’s nearby Genetically Modified Organisms mutated into something deadly to fish.
What do you think? Leave a comment below if you have a different theory or know of any that I missed.
After a lot of research and weighing all the prominent theories, I’m still not sure what caused the mass deaths. Though, it seems most likely to be the result of some sort of electro-magnetic energy weapon or weather control system such as HARRP. A similar weapon using a sonic pulse could be devastating to fish as well.
With all the variables, it’s hard to say for sure. One thing is certain, there is no doubt that we are living in strange times.
