Confused about the massive bird and fish deaths in Alabama? It’s happening elsewhere, too, across the Eastern and Southern US and around the world – Gizmodo has a handy map of all US events.
Activist Post offers several theories. Before you read them, though, remember what Yahoo News has to say on the subject:
“… [M]The deaths occur intermittently and are often unrelated… Federal records show they occur on average every other day somewhere in North America. Usually we don’t notice them and don’t try to link them together…
And there are far more numbers than the 3,000 blackbirds in Arkansas. Twice in the summer of 1996, more than 100,000 ducks died of botulism in Canada. “
Here are the theories listed by the Activist Post:
Main line explanation: These include lightning, hail, mid-air collisions, power lines and New Year’s fireworks for birds, and plagues for fish. But this seems like a coincidence, and where are the roosters getting struck by lightning?
Meteor shower: During this intense seasonal meteor shower, some people said they heard an explosive sound in the area that could be a sign of a local shock wave.
New Madrid Fault Line: Could it be related to recent earthquake activity along a fault line that runs across the mid-east of the United States? Could it have dispersed pollutants into the water and atmosphere?
Government testing: Only certain species are affected, but throughout the region. And some reports have indicated that the birds’ organs have liquefied – could this have something to do with a species-specific bioweapon?
GMOs: There are many other species that are dying along with other species, such as bees and bats. Some people think they may be poisoned by genetically modified plants.
Geotechnical engineering: Could spraying in the area have caused this?
HAARP: Both birds and fish navigate in highly coordinated ways. Could the HAARP array off in Alaska short-circuit their navigation system? Or is it the result of electromagnetic pollution to other human devices?
Directional Weapons: Some wonder if the cause is directed energy beam weapons deployed via satellite.
Blue Beam Project: Another theory is that the weapon makes sound.
Geomagnetic and other Earth changes: The magnetic pole is moving. Add to that the weakening magnetosphere and decreasing oxygen availability, plus increased solar activity and magnetic storms.
Update: A laboratory in Wisconsin has apparently determined that the birds, at least, died of severe trauma.
