DEEP IMPACT…..E.L.E Extinction Level Event

The movie Deep Impact with Morgan Freeman 1998

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Impact_(film)

The link you provided is for 2010 only.

Let me guess, the agency in charge of keeping the records of these flockalyptic events, started in 1998?

As DD would say, HA!

You’re use of the similarities found in the movie A Few Good Men 1992 complement the conspiracy of coverup.

With Jack Nicholson as as Col. Nathan R. Jessep, he is forced to reveal a secret, a cover up. When pressed as to why the secrecy, the famous “You can’t handle the Truth” is his defense.

The government cover up, of the recent deaths of thousands of birds and other sea life, unless forced to reveal somethings up, a coverup. Because just like Jessop, National Security will tell the American people “You can’t handle the truth”

Ha ! Just kidding

Also here is where the government does NOT ridicule those serious about reporting such things:

New and Ongoing Wildlife Mortality Events Nationwide

http://www.nwhc.usgs.gov/mortality_events/ongoing.jsp

you can hang out there all you want and see what mass die offs of wildlife are being reported, and report them yourself, all you want! There is obviously clear intent to share information and reports with anyone and everyone, not hide it nor ignore it.

I do suggest, though, that they might indeed ridicule any suggestions that events are prophetic signs sent from a greater spirit. At the same time, I'm sure they sometimes wish it was that easy.

Knowing from the general news the negative opinion that many in Arizona government have about the Federal government, I wouldn't be surprised, though, if the Arizona Wildlife service doesn't avail itself of information to and from USGS, and just puts things like those dead bats in a drawer and forgets about them. I'd love to have someone from Arizona convince me that my prejudices here aren't true, and that they are working with USGS on the bat case, to see if the WNS has spread or it is something else, rather than letting people think it is part of a message from angry angels or whatever.

FACT CHECK: Mass bird, fish

FACT CHECK: Mass bird, fish deaths occur regularly

(AP) – 1 day ago
....The reality, say biologists, is that these mass die-offs happen all the time and usually are unrelated.
Federal records show they happen on average every other day somewhere in North America. Usually, we don't notice them and don't try to link them to each other.
"They generally fly under the radar," said ornithologist John Wiens, chief scientist at the California research institution PRBO Conservation Science.
Since the 1970s, the U.S. Geological Survey's National Wildlife Health Center in Wisconsin has tracked mass deaths among birds, fish and other critters, said wildlife disease specialist LeAnn White. At times the sky and the streams just turn deadly. Sometimes it's disease, sometimes pollution. Other times it's just a mystery.
In the past eight months, the USGS has logged 95 mass wildlife die-offs in North America and that's probably a dramatic undercount, White said. The list includes 900 some turkey vultures that seemed to drown and starve in the Florida Keys, 4,300 ducks killed by parasites in Minnesota, 1,500 salamanders done in by a virus in Idaho, 2,000 bats that died of rabies in Texas, and the still mysterious death of 2,750 sea birds in California.
On average, 163 such events are reported to the federal government each year, according to USGS records. And there have been much larger die-offs than the 3,000 blackbirds in Arkansas. Twice in the summer of 1996, more than 100,000 ducks died of botulism in Canada.
"Depending on the species, these things don't even get reported," White said.
Weather — cold and wet weather like in Arkansas New Year's Eve when the birds fell out of the sky — is often associated with mass bird deaths, ornithologists say. Pollution, parasites and disease also cause mass deaths. Some are even blaming fireworks for the blackbird deaths.
So what's happening this time?
Blame technology, says famed Harvard biologist E.O. Wilson. With the Internet, cell phones and worldwide communications, people are noticing events, connecting the dots more.....

Thanks AA, I hadn't heard of

In reply to After you, you first. Explain

Thanks AA, I hadn't heard of this blight. I will post this comment to reserve this spot til I research and get you an answer.

Aflockalypse, how funnny.

I think it is important to not put so much emphasis on only one aspect of an Apocalypse precursor, but instead look at a complete picture of the composite sign.

I have been meditating on, "Why the apocalypse?

Does it ever reach a point in mankinds existence, that mankind itself reaches the point of No return, and the only saving grace for mankinds continued existance, is intervention?

Many have attributed to god the bad conditions and why hasn't he intervened so far.

Maybe he can't on the large scale Earthwide, for fear of being called a meddler in mans affairs.

There are those who will claim "we didn't need you, stay out of it"

He'll just wait, till man kind proves to itself, it failed, it's going to die

Come save us, from ourselves

This was just quick thoughts, I have to do some work. But by reserving this position I can come back and edit this response, I will see if I can find the answers to the question you posed.

After you, you first. Explain

In reply to Your pretty sharp AA, Is How

After you, you first. Explain to me why god smote our bananas with blight. I've got time, because I don't think we are going to get the answers right away on the reasons for all the bird/fiish/bat events people are digging up and reporting on right now (to which they normally wouldn't pay attention.) Much as many people, it seems, would like to see this as a sign of something, I think chances are high that they are all different problems which will involve individual studies over time and which will result in reports a year down the road at different times that no one will read, having lost interest in "Aflockalypse" theory mania. But I'll be glad to talk about the "why" when the individual reports trickle in if someone has access to and reads all the related speciality publications.

But they've already figured out the why of the banana problem, so it's your turn on that one. Why doesn't god want us to have Cavenish bananas?

P.S. "End of Days" bird kill just a fraction of real death toll

....these deaths represent just a fraction of the true impact humans have on birdlife.

“There are many human-related causes of bird mortality including buildings, outdoor cats, pesticides, communication towers, automobiles, wind farms, and lead poisoning from spent ammunition and lost fishing tackle." said American Bird Conservancy Vice President, Mike Parr. "But because most of the deaths from those sources often occur in ones or twos, they often go unnoticed or unreported.”

In total, says Parr, studies have estimated that up to one billion birds may be killed annually due to collisions with buildings. Another billion fall prey to domestic cats. Up to 50 million birds are killed each year after hitting communications towers, and pesticide poisoning has been linked to the deaths of up to 15 million birds each year.

In addition to all these hazards, the increasing presence of wind turbines is a threat to many birds, especially when they're built in the path of migration routes.....

In reply to Newsflash:The Old/New

Newsflash, You're not either.

Luck has nothing to do with it, some have enough moral sense to listen and investigate.

Many in our country believe rightfully, the root cause of many of the Worlds problems are because of a lack of moral values.

Moral values would help eliminate hunger, homelessness, end the wars, end crime, Provide healthcare and compassion to others in need.

You may have to depend on luck, if you think you can solve the problems, without moral values.

Taliban methods take many

Resistance — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 19:47:35 +0000

In reply to As regards Acts 2:19 - Isn't

Taliban methods take many forms.

What is, …. acceptable to you, …..Ayatollah sleepin?

It appears you’ve adopted the Taliban method intended to discourage any speech or writings comments, not in line with the teachings of Sleepin or his followers.

Taliban methods are first pleas, Your words are getting “old” then direct personal attacks, stirring up hatred. Followers shunning, then joining in abusive tactics. in order to stifle differing viewpoints or opinions, that differ from the leaderhip.

Again. what is acceptable to you, Ayatollah Sleepin?

Many times I point out how the hypocrisy of our leaders should be replaced with truth and for this, I am told this is getting old?

While you seek the applause of others, “Oh that sleepin is one wise dude; good post sleepin”

Whereas; I direct attention to over 5000 years of recorded wisdom, by such notables as Solomon; reported to be one of the wisest of known men. I rely on others too, wiser than you or I, whose knowledge has been proven to be of great benefit to Nations.

Wisdom and answers to age old problems; and for this I am told; “This is old give it a break”

Or are you of the high opinion “We don’t need old wisdom to solve our problems, Sleepins got the answers.”

As to your supercillious comments about the birds.

No one has established all the facts; although one possibility, is mankind itself may be responsible for the death of thousands of living souls.

No remediation or redemption for the birds and the other Souls, or if you prefer life forms.

Justice works for me. Judgement against those responsible. if it is proven life was wantonly destroyed, due to mankinds negligence. I suppose then you'll say, it was only birds?
