Now I'm intrigued!

So those birds died of some kind of trauma which in turn caused internal bleeding.  Which seems to coincide with the american results so far that has been released.  So I wonder what they all ran into

I'm thinking Wonder Woman was flying her plane a little too low and didn't see the birds.

This reminds me of one of the Harry Dresden stories, when he's talking about the lengths people go to to avoid believing in magic. "It's raining frogs, and they tell us a water spout sucked them out of a pond- a water spout that doesn't suck up fish and crawdads and water lillies... Hell, magic is easier to believe in than that."

peace,
ES

Vision is psychic. I was flipping through the channels and caught Glenn Beck talking about the bird kills and the green river water. He said "They must have been hit by Wonderwoman's invisible plane."  :rotflmao:

Edited to fix my boo-boo.  :whistle:

Psst ... I think it was Vision that said that. ;)

I'd be intersted to see a plot of the jet stream overlaid on that map ES found.  Oh, and I can't help but wonder in the case of the birds, if maybe magnetic pole orientations had something to do with it. :whistle:

Problem is, they can't tell when the "trauma" was experienced ... it's important to know if it was before or after they hit the ground.  If it's after, something else caused them to fall in the first place. ;)

and frequently bacteria are involved in the process as they are used as a "delivery mechanism" for the genetic modifications.

Bacterial infections usually harm the host by the waste byproducts created by the bacteria or as a side effect of the body going to war against the invading organism.

Bacteria don't target DNA.

Viruses on the other hand are designed from the ground up to invade a cell and re-write the cell's genetic code in order to get the cell to stop its normal function and start churning out more copies of the virus.

Which is why re-coded viruses are used for genetic manipulation. We can take out the destructive payload of the virus and implant a new genetic sequence which will then be released into a body where it will invade cells and make the changes to the DNA.

For example if a person had a genetic inability to create a certain hormone or protein need for some function, you could insert a virus encoded with the corrected genetic code for that hormone or protein...thus fixing the problem.

Bacteria are not used in that manner.

Bacteria however *are* frequently used as the cells that get modified. Nova-log insulin is made by vats of bacteria that have been genetically re-encoded by viruses to produce the same insulin as our own pancreas does.

Not saying that it couldn't be a released bacteria or an escaped virus from Monsanto, just that Bacteria aren't used in the re-programming of genetic data.

OK ... here's a new theory.  Phosgene gas.  I ran across this in one of the blogs I occasionally read: http://foodfreedom.wordpress.com/2011/01/05/fracking-arkansas/

Oh, Mongo dear, I bow to your awesomeness and appreciate the correction.  :bow:

Even if we find out what killed the fish and birds, we still won't know what did it.  It's an irony of the information age that too much information leaves us in the same place as not enough information.  Many theories are as unenlightening as none.  It is very odd.

Apparently there was a mass die-off of menhaden at one of our local beaches last week as well. Enough to cover a mile-and-a-half of beach and need shovels and earth-moving equipment to clean up.

I heard on the radio there were some bird deaths near the 101 (where they did not say) in Cali. It hasn't made it up on google maps yet.

I wouldn't be surprised if most of these events are related to gas/chemicals from the BP oil spill. Birds have very sensitive lungs and fish have sensitive gills.

It was near Geyserville (Sonoma County).  One of the Bay Area stations is reporting that they ran into a semi truck.

NPR sure had no details whatsoever-- pretty irresponsible reporting. Interesting that people are paying such close attention to any dead bird now. There has to be way more interest than when corvids were really biting the dust from West Nile Virus a few years ago. I don't remember hearing much about dead birds then.

I got myself too freaked out last night looking up info about the BP spill and dioxin (a carcinogenic chemical that bioaccumulates and results from the burning of hydrocarbons). Our neighbor illegally burns trash in a burn barrel and that will produce it too. No wonder I don't listen to the news any more. :rolleye:
