Mystery Bird Death, the Sky is Falling – Part 2

In keeping up on this story, you can see my first post here:    http://zdeaconblue.wordpress.com/2011/01/05/mystery-bird-death-the-sky-is-falling-in-arkansas-and-louisiana-and-fish-too/

I read and article in the NY Times today, the article was good, no new information but what was really spectacular were the comments in the comment section that went everywhere from truly nutty to Apocalyptic to really reasonable. My favorite two explanations, the birds crashed into either a cloaked Klingon Vessel or Wonder Woman’s invisible plan. I’ve lumped the statements into categories and I’ve quoted them as they appeared with the links they included although I did correct the spelling errors.

First, there is a lot out there to show that this has happened before, globally and often, that suggests either this is not so out of the ordinary or a really huge global problem, I’ll let you decide which it is:

“No mention of the bird kills in Argentina and Sweden also this week? Is this some sort of experiment gone wrong?

Sweden

Argentina

“This article is highly misleading, as it only looks are the USGS records for the last six months. Going back there are MANY incidents on the USGS web site of 5000 or more birds. Example 10/15/1999 – Sangamon Co – 27,000 birds.

“ In Australia this phenomenon occurs yearly. I don’t know if these birds are migratory birds, but here is what was reported last year:

Next a post from someone in the area who puts forward the hypothesis I included in the first piece:

“I live in Arkansas. In the NW part of the state. I have read on other sites where they suggest a concussion of some sort from hail or possibly hit by lightning. What I can tell you is we had some very nasty storms come through new years eve (in the NW part of the state, Bebee is more toward the eastern part of the state, central and east), but Im sure the storms probably made it over there. We had very severe weather, in fact just miles from my house an entire small town was wiped out from a tornado. So this suggestion is plausible.”

On the fringe side of things there was a lot of mention of chemtrails, government black ops technology projects, UFO’s and the biblical end of days. Below is the one interesting post from the fringe, although I know nothing about the EUTimes.net so I’m not going to credit the source as valid in any way, again for you to consider:

Run for cover…Americgeddon is upon us!

BP adds a condom to the gusher but it leaks!

So BP’s latest attempt to reduce the flow of oil into the Gulf of Mexico is once again a containment dome.  But like a young lover who first failed to fit the condom BP has returned with a new and improved containment dome.  This one has ventilated ribs for the gulf’s pleasure!  Ok, so technically we have the first set up all over again, except this time they used the ROV’s to cut the pipe so that the cap would fit better and additionally have vented the dome so that there would be some pressure release.  The pressure being released keeps frozen hydrates from forming and clogging the line to the ship on the surface.  Definitely a technical improvement over the last failed attempt use of a containment dome but as BP has admitted, will at best siphon off 20-30% of the flow leaving hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil flowing into the Gulf of Mexico each day until the relief wells are finished.  The oil will continue to flow into the ocean currents, fish feeding and breeding grounds, and now onto the shores and the marshes of some of our most productive economic and ecologically important shores.

Like any lover who realizes his condom has leaked, the new “most hated man in America”, BP CEO Tony Hayward has become incredibly apologetic, he feels terrible about his leak and has promised to take care of all of the consequences.  In the meantime, BP has pumped a hundred million dollars in ad time onto TV, which honestly may give us a break in California from having to see Steve Poizner and Meg Whitman ads every four seconds.

We are now seeing the oil come ashore into the wetlands and onto the beaches of the gulf, pictures are starting to emerge of oil covered birds and large fish kills.  Folks, this is about to get very ugly and no amount of ad time is going to help BP out of this mess, it will take years for people to forgive and somewhat forget, but unfortunately we will, I mean when is the last time you heard about an Exxon boycott because of what happened with the Valdez disaster.

So we sit mesmerized by the live footage of the spill and watch the horror unfolding for the people, plants and animals of the gulf and wait to see what new hell hurricane season can bring them.  We’ve got three months before the relief wells are finished, and that’s assuming they are delay free, meaning that no hurricanes make them suspend operations for a time, good luck with that one.
