Wave of prawn deaths baffles Chile city of Coronel

By now most of us have seen a number of strange events with marine life deaths, bird deaths, beachings of dolphins and a number of other weird things going on. I haven't seen a mass prawn death story until now.

Via bbc.co.uk (20 March 2013) - Thousands of dead prawns have washed up on a beach in Chile, sparking an investigation.

Hundreds of dead crabs were also washed ashore in Coronel city, about 530km (330 miles) from the capital, Santiago.

Fishermen suggested the deaths may have been caused by local power stations that use seawater as a cooling agent. The power firms have not commented.

Experts are looking into water temperature and oxygen levels and other details to explain the deaths.

Authorities are still collecting evidence to find an explanation for the red tide

"We're investigating the Coronel Bay to establish the physical parameters of temperature, electric conductivity and, above all, the oxygen," said local environment official Victor Casanova.

"I'm 69 years old and started fishing when I was nine, but as a fisherman, I never saw a disaster of this magnitude,'' Gregorio Ortega told local Radio Bio Bio.

While some blame pollution, others say the death of the crustaceans could be a consequence of the El Nino phenomenon, which warms the waters of the Pacific.

Hundreds of dead crabs were washed ashore on the weekend

Marisol Ortega, a spokeswoman for the fishermen, said she feared the deaths would affect the livelihood of their community.

"The way everything is being destroyed here, come the high season in November, we're already thinking we won't have anything to take from the sea," she said.

Webbot Predictions for 2013

Untill I recieve an educated answer I will ask over and over again , How do we know something is real? Trust the source? Know the subject well? Have an uncanny hunch? On the other hand, senses can be “tricked”, and tricked well by one's own interpretation of it.Trust can be broken, intellectual prowess found sadly ungrounded in a concept box and hunches can be just plain wrong. So, where to find a reliable way to know something is true? A precaution could be that relying on one source alone is a narrow spectrum, let alone relegated to a specific medium: However, if patience is employed,along with acceptance and the willingness to explore unusual or bizarre concepts and noticing the enduring presence of a manifestation, however subtle, can go a long ways in securing a hold on the elusive Truth.

It's good to be aware of possibilities, and then to be wise by being prepared, just in case. What harm can there be by stocking up on emergency supplies (food, water, medicine, batteries, lanterns, portable radio, fuel/generator or small solar/battery & AC power inverter setup, etc.)?

Rabies Outbreak After Meteor Strike In Chelyabinsk, Russia: State Of Emergency Declared; Rabies Outbreak Across World Linked To ‘Vile Stars’?

A very strange rabies outbreak in Chelyabinsk, Russia has led to a 'State of Emergency' being declared due to the sudden widespread outbreak of rabies, this coming weeks after a meteor also struck the area. Strangely enough, rabies is now spreading across the world as shared further below in this story with credit to WoodyMcWood from GLP.

Is this rabies outbreak due to the recent meteor? According to this story from the Journal of Cosmology, throughout history disease outbreaks of "near-culling" and "extinction-level" proportions have been brought upon the Earth by passing interplanetary fragments and comets, or 'vile stars'. The excellent historical BBC video "The Comet's Tale" below.

"All ancient civilizations, without exception, have looked upon comets with a sense of trepidation and awe.  Comets were considered to be harbingers of doom, disease, and death, infecting men with a blood lust to war, contaminating crops, and dispersing disease and plague (Hippocrates 1900; Olson and Pasachoff 1999)."

For much of history comets have been associated with death and disease. There is increasing evidence that life on Earth originated in comets and other stellar debris. If passing comets have continued to deposit viruses and microorganisms on this planet, this may explain why ancient astronomers and civilizations attributed the periodic outbreak of plague to these stellar objects. Moreover, the subsequent evolution and extinction of life may have been directly impacted by the continued arrival of bacteria, archae, viruses, and their genes from space. On this picture the evolution of higher plants and animals, including humans, would be impacted by the insertion of genes from space, as well as recurrent episodes of pandemic disease. Near-culling pandemics and extinction episodes have in fact been preceded by or followed by inserts of viral genes into survivors who have transmitted these viral elements to their progeny, thereby impacting future evolution. Although ancient fears and reverence of comets may be coincidental with the outbreaks of pandemics, they may also have a factual basis.

From Biblical times great plagues and epidemics of disease have punctuated the history of Europe and Asia (Karlen 1996; McNeill 1977).  Although some of these events may have an explanation in terms of local causes and conditions, the more dramatic episodes on record invite more exotic explanations that may be linked to comets. 

Figure 4. Comet of 1618 was associated with the coming "end of the world" and spreading death and disease.

The great plague of Athens that broke out in the year 430BC (Karlen 1996) is a strong candidate for a cometary cause.  The epidemic was localized geographically, and declined and disappeared as abruptly as it had started and no source could be discovered.  The description of the epidemic and its symptoms described by the historian Thucydides (2004), has defied identification with any known infectious disease.

Here's part of the story on the recent rabies outbreak in the Chelyabinsk region in Russia after the recent Chelyabinsk meteor comes to us from The Moscow Times.:

22 March 2013 | Issue 5093

The Moscow Times

A state of emergency has been declared in the Chelyabinsk region due to an outbreak of rabies among animals, the regional administration said in a statement.

In a decree posted on the administration's website, Ivan Feklin, the deputy governor of the region and head of the emergency response team for coordinating preventative measures for rabies, is tasked with confirming a complex set of measures to stabilize the region's rabies outbreak for the duration of the emergency regime.

According to the regional administration of the Federal Veterinary and Phytosanitary Monitoring Service, the region has been hit by a complicated epizootic situation with rabies in animals, Interfax reported.

Comets were looked at as 'messengers of the Gods' in ancient times, carrying the power of life and death as shared in this BBC story, The Comet's Tale. More on the rabies outbreak across the world below video.

In the meantime as this thread from Godlikeproductions points out, rabies outbreaks have been spreading across the world in the past several weeks. Much more here.

FUKUSHIMA: Japan's Nuclear Disaster Spreads Far And Wide - Tsunami Debris Keeps Coming Into Washington State!

March 26, 2013 - UNITED STATES - A dock set adrift by the 2011 tsunami in Japan is now being dismantled and removed from the Washington state beach where it beached. 

The dock washed ashore in a remote section of Olympic National Park and was found Dec. 18, 2012, by a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter search. The area was at first all but impossible to access because of high seas and a swollen stream cutting off the approach, according to the Washington state government.

Now, the Undersea Company of Port Townsend, Wash., is dismantling the dock, which measures 65 feet (20 meters) long. The sea and wind have pushed sand and cobbles around the dock, so workers will first excavate it and then use saws to cut it into manageable pieces to be helicoptered out. The work began March 19 and is expected to take several days.  

Tsunami debris 

Two years after the massive tsunami swept ashore in Japan, debris from the event is still trickling ashore on Pacific isles and along the Pacific coast of North America. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has confirmed 21 pieces of debris by serial number or other identifying marks, including the dock in Washington. 

Other confirmed debris includes small, derelict boats, a 25-foot-long (11 m) steel tank and a soccer ball found by kayakers in Washington State. A second floating dock set adrift by the tsunami washed ashore in Oregon.

Marine researchers and coastal dwellers have also reported seeing an uptick in Styrofoam and housing insulation. These materials can't be definitively tied to the tsunami, but the timing and sudden influx suggests that they were part of the estimated 5 million tons of materials dragged out to sea by the tsunami. 

Much of that debris, an estimated 70 percent, sunk off Japan's coast, but little is known about the remaining 1.5 million tons and how much might end up on U.S shores. 

Dock dangers 

The docks are of particular concern, because both harbored marine species that could potentially establish themselves on the Pacific coast. The dock that washed ashore in Oregon held about 13 pounds (about 6 kilograms) of organisms per square foot, according to Oregon State University. Marine specialists immediately set to work removing and destroying these potentially invasive species. 

After the Washington dock was spotted on Dec. 18, crews managed to reach the debris on Dec. 21. Tests showed no sign of radiation from the Fukushima nuclear plant meltdown that followed the tsunami, which is typical — so far, tsunami debris has not been radioactive.

The initial crew also attached a tracking buoy to the dock to ensure it could be found if it washed back out to sea. By the time experts trekked to the dock, wind and waves had scoured most of the organisms from its sides. But in January, a team removed the floatation bumpers from the sides of the dock and decontaminated them with a bleach solution to help prevent any more potential invasives from entering the surf. 

The dock weighs 185 tons and stands 7.5 feet (2.3 m) tall. It's made of Styrofoam material encased in steel-reinforced concrete. Part of the reason it was crucial to remove the dock, according to the state government, is that the dock had been damaged, allowing Styrofoam to spill out and potentially be ingested by marine mammals, fish and birds. Containing the foam will be the first priority for the removal team. - Yahoo.

WATCH: Tsunami debris keeps coming in Washington State. From a fishing boat to the recent discovery of a shrine, debris from the 2011 Japan tsunami is still showing up on US shores. NBC’s Brian Williams reports.

The latest object to wash ashore in Oregon that appears to be Japan tsunami debris could have strong cultural significance in its homeland. 

The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department said the 16-foot-long object was discovered Friday near Oceanside in Tillamook County. 

Workers believe it could be the top of a torii, the gateway entrance to a sacred site.

The object was partially covered with marine organisms when it was found. 

It is now being stored in a secured state park maintenance yard. The parks and recreation department is now waiting on word from the Consular Office of Japan in Portland on how to proceed.

Chemtrails: An Insider Speaks Out

So you haven't yet figured out the airborne conditioning-agent release program that is being operated by the government. I'll give you some hints, but first I'll give you a little information about myself. I'm a retired government scientist with an advanced degree in one of the health-related disciplines. I do not use my real name for fear of retaliation, either against me, or against members of my family. I always try to route my e-mail communications so that they appear to come from another source, usually from one somewhere within the government. Sometimes I use the internet resources of the public library - whatever it takes to hide my true identity and confuse those who don't want the sort of information I possess to fall into the public's hands.

I have a small circle of friends who are, or were, in key positions within our military and several government agencies. These are not the very top level personnel, but mid to upper mid-level people, scientists and analysts, who are in positions where they can see the day-to-day activities of what's going on, who are charged with implementing the details, but who are never quite privy to the schemes behind the work they do. Each of my contacts has been able to supply me with a portion of the puzzle, but separately, none of them understands the whole story. I'll tell you what I've pieced together so far. But I have to admit that this information frightens me because there is no place I can go with it. What am I supposed to do - write my congressman? I believe that would be like signing my own death warrant.

This whole chemtrail issue is related to the plan for decreasing the world population to around 450-500 million -- and starting with the US first. Why? The people of the US are the only ones with even the remotest chance of stopping this. That is, if they knew about it. That's why the US has to be the first to go. You have to understand that the world's elite covet the US for its geographic diversity - and they would love to return this country to its condition as it existed prior to Columbus setting foot here, but without the Native Americans this time of course. 

You may have already heard how several national parks have been designated as world biospheres - that's the plan for all of North America, a giant nature park and playground that will be devoid of annoying human beings (that would be us). And the people actually involved in doing the spraying, as well as those who will take part in the rest of the plans, are being duped into believing they will be spared, that is, permitted to live and remain on this continent as administrators and caretakers of this vast nature preserve. I understand that about 150 to 200 thousand people are projected as necessary for maintenance purposes. But it's likely these people will not be Americans. Those in charge wouldn't want to risk the possibility of some sort of revolt, so the workers will probably be brought in from Europe and Asia.

There are rumors floating about the internet that the chemtrails are part of some sort of secret program the government is doing to protect the US from future biological attacks. Nothing could be further from the truth. The plan is to sensitize, or condition, the US population to being wiped out by influenza A. Over the past few years, people have been encouraged to get flu shots to protect them against the generally non-lethal strains that circulate through the population during flu season. 

Each year the US government has guessed which strains were most likely to spread. They seem to always guess right - don't they? This flu season, the government protected people with a trivalent vaccine that included the A/Beijing/262/95-like (H1N1) and the A/Sydney/5/97-like (H3N2). It also contained the B/Beijing/184/93-like hemagglutinin antigens. For those not familiar with virology, the H and N refer to proteins on the outside of the virus, the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, which are responsible for the virus attaching to, and then invading, a host cell. The public has been quite pleased with the success of the vaccines offered so far. But that will change in the future.

Researchers at the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (or USAMRIID) at Fort Detrick in Frederick MD have reconstructed and modified the H1N1 Spanish Flu virus, making it far more deadly than it ever was back when it was responsible for the 1918-1919 flu pandemic that killed over 20 million worldwide and over 500,000 here in the US. Consider that it could have killed many more, but back then, people couldn't hop on a jet and travel from New York to L.A. in five hours. Now, our ability to travel will increase the spread and will be our downfall.

The flu vaccines contain killed virus and protect the body well against challenge by that particular strain, but work poorly against other strains not included in the inoculation. At some point, the vaccine stockpile will include the more lethal modification of the 1918 H1N1 in its live form. Most people receiving this vaccine will simply be renewing their annual flu shot, and the vaccine will still include the inactivated version of the more benign form of H1N1 (as was included in this year's vaccine). The presence of the milder strain in the inoculum will slow down the progression of the more lethal H1N1 form, so people will become sick more slowly - but they will still eventually die. It will just take a few weeks longer.

In the meantime, they will be carriers for the lethal form of the virus, passing it on to everyone with whom they make contact. And as people hear that others are dropping dead from the flu, they will flock to get their own vaccination. And the entire population will be more receptive to infection because their lungs will have been pre-conditioned to guarantee it.

If you will remember back to 1968 and '69, the Hong Kong flu, which was influenza A type H3N2, killed over 30,000 people in the U.S. alone. That was a fortuitous learning event for some because it taught them that the flu could still conceivably be used to wipe out a population. But at the same time, it pointed out the need to precondition the populace so that those who might normally be resistant could be rendered susceptible. Hence the development of the vaccine program and the aerial spraying procedures to condition the population. The purpose of the chemicals in the chemtrails is to help the viral envelope fuse with lung cells, permitting easier penetration and infection.

But what about those few individuals who don't succumb to the flu? Probability alone demands that there will be some who survive - pockets of the population that are either not reached or somehow (and this is less likely) are resistant to the lethal H1N1 strain. At this point you must also remember that our military personnel have been immunized against a variety of pathogens, including the anthrax bacillus. 

For those geographically isolated areas where the flu doesn't do its job, it's a fairly simple matter to lay down anthrax spores and then send in what's left of the military to take care of anyone still breathing. The anthrax spraying will probably come under the guise of a flu protection program to save those still alive after the epidemic. And the military, having been exposed to civilians with the flu, will eagerly await their own flu shots. I should emphasize that this is a last resort scenario. Those orchestrating the plan will not want to use anthrax until all other possibilities are exhausted - this because of the long-term viability of anthrax spores. To scatter them over the countryside would mean the area would be dangerous for use by humans, at least those not vaccinated against the bacteria.

And think about this for a moment. Why do you suppose agencies like Fish and Wildlife are so eager to reintroduce wolves and other species into areas of the country which haven't seen these animals for generations. It's all part of the plan to restore this land to what the elite envision as its early paradise-like state, with wild animals freely roaming the uninhabited plains and forests. Granted, it will take some time to clean up the place and to maybe destroy a lot of small towns that might otherwise be considered a blight on the landscape. But for the global elite it will be a small price for us to pay for their enjoyment.
