Hm... I remember (odd for an American) in 2003 we had the summer of the shark attacks.
Shark attack here, shark attack there. On the evening news as a regular occurrence.
Problem is, there were no more shark attacks in 2003 than there were any other year: the media just chose to drum it up.

It's a big, wide world out there, so the first thing we need to know is: is this somehow abnormal?
Simply replying "yes it is" isn't good enough.

"It's not all that uncommon" is what you keep hearing, but yet the media has never reported on it like this before.

It would be a crazy coincidence if fireworks caused one mass death, cold caused another, storm one mass death, confusion another, poisoning one, hail yet another, etc., all within such a short time frame.

[Madly_Sane]

There have probably been a lot of incidents like this in the past, probably more frequently that what is happening now. I think the driving force for the media reporting all these 'mass deaths' is because of the 'end of days'/'apocalypse' theories for 2012.

2 Million Dead Fish Washed Ashore on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland

8,000 turtle doves fall dead in Italy with strange blue stain on their beaks

First, there were 5,000 red-winged blackbirds that fell from the sky and were found dead in Arkansas, then two million fish washed ashore in an Arkansas river. Three days later 500 more dead red-winged blackbirds fell from the sky onto a Louisiana highway. And now there have been reports of birds falling out of the sky in Sweden, Australia, Brazil, Wales, Haiti and the Dominican Republic, as well.

The Maryland Environment Department said that the two million dead fish that washed up on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland was caused by the sudden drop in temperature that occurred this winter. But if that were the case, wouldn’t we see this sort of occurrences every winter?

It isn’t that animal kills never happen, because they have evidence that these sort of things do happen, it is just weird that it is happening all at the same time, all over the world!

Comment on google maps.

If you look at the pushpins in this map and compare them to seismic fault lines on this map at geology.com http://geology.com/plate-tectonics.shtml it is incredibly similar that these two maps are very similar in corrolating seismic lines with bird and fish deaths. In my opinion in the areas where there was no reported deaths it is possible that there were but they may be sparsely populated areas of either fish or birds (or humans that would report the deaths) so further investigation may flush this theory out further. Lets create a twitter thread on this theory.

[sailingaway]

I saw a couple of articles saying these 'die offs' happen many times a year and they are just being all reported at once. I wouldn't know if that were true, but some cited fish and game statistics. Sure seems weird to me, though.

When I saw the 'turtle doves' I thought 'and a partridge in a pear tree.'

You KNOW someone will ultimately create a macabre parody remake of the 12 days of Christmas song using dead animals.

Slutter McGee

[wildfirepower]

Google maps:

I've noticed that they are all around the sides of fault lines? Earth shifting? Maybe giving off some vibration WE can't feel? Freaking out the animals. Think of how animals move to higher ground during giant waves before they even come. Animals are more in tune to the earth than we are. In the United States they are dying on both sides of the New Madrid fault and there was just an unusual earthquake in Indiana on that fault line.

Has anyone applied any of the recent seismic activity or followed these events along with fault lines around the world. It was strange that we had an earthquake in Indiana not long ago and seemed to be along the same timeline as the US bird deaths.

Maybe this has something to do with it...


Magnetic North Pole Shifts, Forces Runway Closures at Florida Airport (http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/01/06/magnetic-north-pole-shifts-forces-closure-florida-airport/#content)

The planet's northern magnetic pole is drifting slowly but steadily towards Russia -- and it's throwing off planes in Florida.

Tampa International Airport was forced to readjust its runways Thursday to account for the movement of the Earth's magnetic fields, information that pilots rely upon to navigate planes. Thanks to the fluctuations in the force, the airport has closed its primary runway until Jan. 13 to change taxiway signs to account for the shift, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

Poisonous Space Clouds Slamming Into Earth Cause Mass Bird And Fish Deaths

A grim report prepared by Russia’s Ministry for Extraordinary Situations (MCHS) is warning today that our world is currently “under attack” from “poisonous space clouds” penetrating our planets upper atmosphere due to the “accelerated movement” of the Earth’s magnetic poles and are responsible for the many reports of mass animal deaths being reported all around the globe.

In our previous report, Pole Shift Blamed For Russian Air Disaster, Closure Of US Airport, we had detailed how the shifting of our planets poles were wreaking havoc on planes having to adjust their air-fuel mixtures to compensate for distorted altitude readings in their computer avionic systems, and now this new MCHS report warns the situation is getting even worse.

According to this report, the rapid shifting of our planets poles is allowing the normal streams of solar wind that buffet Earth's magnetic field to enter into our lower atmosphere at nearly 700 kilometers per second carrying with them parts of the deadly space clouds that have “mysteriously” been appearing in greater numbers around the globe these past few years.

The name given to these deadly space clouds by Western scientists are Noctilucent Clouds (NLC’s) [photo 2nd left] and are described as tenuous cloud-like phenomena that are the “ragged-edge” of a much brighter and pervasive polar cloud layer called polar mesospheric clouds in the upper atmosphere, visible in a deep twilight.

Noctilucent Clouds began to first appear over our Earth in 1885 as our world began its full assent into what is called the Industrial Revolution that has seen our planets human population rise from about 1 billion to over 7 billion today.

Not just mysterious are these clouds, this report continues, but they are also deadly as they are comprised of the poisonous gas Hydrogen Cyanide which gives them their electric blue-like colour.

Hydrogen Cyanide was first isolated from a blue dye (Prussian Blue) which had been known from 1704 but whose structure was unknown. It is now known to be a coordination polymer with a complex structure and an empirical formula of hydrated ferric ferrocyanide.

In 1752, the French chemist Pierre Macquer made the important step of showing that Prussian blue could be converted to iron oxide plus a volatile component and that these could be used to reconstitute the dye. The new component was what we now know as hydrogen cyanide.

Important to note, this report continues, is that Hydrogen Cyanide is also formed in interstellar clouds through one of two major pathways: via a neutral-neutral reaction (CH2 + N → HCN + H) and via dissociative recombination (HCNH+ + e- → HCN + H). The dissociative recombination pathway is dominant by 30%; however, the HCNH+ must be in its linear form. Dissociative recombination with its structural isomer, H2NC+ produces hydrogen isocyanide (HNC), exclusively.

Upon the solar wind breeching our Earth’s magnetic field, this MCHS report asserts, these poisonous Hydrogen Cyanide Noctilucent Clouds would be carried down into the lower atmosphere where they could, literally, “poison in seconds” flocks of birds in its path, not mention the force of these winds by themselves would cause massive trauma and instantaneous death.

12 million - 50 million fish dead in Neuse River

Concern is growing about reports of up to 50 million dead fish appearing in the Neuse River in Craven County. Local pig and chicken farms as well as residential, municipal and industrial run-off are being blamed.

WNCT reports that there is a difference of opinion on exactly how many fish have died in recent days along the Neuse River in Craven County, but one thing is for sure – millions of fish are turning up dead.

The Lower Neuse riverkeeper believes as many as 50 million may have died, while the state says it’s somewhere around 12 million.

That is a sign that the prophecies do not lie. That is barely a shade than still will come soon (no worry, I suppose that this will not be so soon, it’s a long way until there). The Bible do not lie, is the word of God. This world should give rise to the kingdom of Christ, the “cleaning” is painful, but Jesus will restore everything. Who want to go with Him? Repent and join to Christ that you will have living with the eternal God, righteous and loving, the Lord of all the law of life, of love and peace, the true Light.

"Hear the word of Jehovah, ye children of Israel; for Jehovah hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land; for there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land.
Swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, -they break out; and blood toucheth blood.
For this shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowl of the heavens, yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away." (Hosea, 4:1-3)

Volcanic Eruptions, Not Meteor, May Have Killed The Dinosaurs

A series of monumental volcanic eruptions in India may have killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, not a meteor impact in the Gulf of Mexico. The eruptions, which created the gigantic Deccan Traps lava beds of India, are now the prime suspect in the most famous and persistent paleontological murder mystery, say scientists who have conducted a slew of new investigations honing down eruption timing.

SAN FRANCISCO — Huge volcanic eruptions that belched sulfur into the air for around 10,000 years could have killed the dinosaurs, according to new evidence unearthed by geologists.

Evidence is accumulating that it wasn’t an asteroid that did the beasts in, but volcanoes — the first real challenge the extinction theory has met in three decades.

A combination of studies on dinosaur fossils, magnetic signatures in rocks and the timing of the disappearance of different species suggest it was volcanoes, not an asteroid, that caused the dinosaurs’ extinction.

I was going to add more, but didn't have time. But, I know it's possible, I am a firm believer in 'nothing is impossible.' But, did the gas just give clues to what wiped out the dino's or were there indications that it would happen again (soon)?

I have seen that with individual birds in daylight . I think they see themselves in reflection of glass .
