An open letter to all elected officials

Dear officials elected to represent the American people (your station is much more important than your name),

I would like to make my personal feelings clear so that you can better represent me. I pray it is indeed your intention to do so.

I would like to see all military aggression by the United States in all areas of planet Earth cease immediately. I do not wish to have my hard-earned taxes used to take even a single life, regardless of whose life it may be. Furthermore, I would like all monies spent on aggression to be pulled immediately. No more assault rifles. No more tanks. No more fighter jets. No more bombers, and indeed no more bombs.

All life on this planet is connected. We cannot harm another without harming all, including ourselves. The time for these misguided actions has long since ended. It is time for you as our elected representative to behave accordingly and do what is right for all, not what is expedient to get you re-elected or what makes "defense" contrators happy.

Very sincerely,

Tim Bravo

Mass animal deaths continue, and so do scientists' stupid explanations

Maybe they should just stick with "these things happen all the time."  It's obviously untrue to the observant citizen, but at least it's better than "they ate too much." 

If you're reading this, no doubt you're all-too familiar with the spate of mass animal deaths that has plagued Earth the past couple weeks.  Birds, fish, crabs, and turtles.  The latest stories are thousands of fish in the Chicago area, 100 dead birds in California, and hundreds of turtle doves in Italy. 

Scientists' explanations?  In the case of the fish in Chicago, Lake Michigan Program biologist Dan Makauskas says the cold killed them.  Very similar to the "this stuff happens all the time" pat answer.  But if this stuff indeed happens all the time, why don't I recall any stories from the Chicago area of this sort of thing happening before?  I don't live there, but I think it would be a national news story if and when it happened.  Maybe not every time, but since it happens "all the time" one would think it would make a newscast or headline once in a while.  Maybe I'm wrong.  Maybe this sort of thing does happen in Lake Michigan frequently.  I'd LOVE for someone to show me it has and does.  Until then, I'm sticking with my opinion that something larger and unique is going on here.

As for the 700 dead Italian turtle doves, experts are seriously proposing that you believe they ate too much.  700 birds all ate too much and died together. That's their explanation.  And they continue to expect you to respect them and their word.

But we're not a planet of idiots.  Something stinks here, and we would appreciate if those who called themselves our authorities actually got to work on determining what it is and spent a lot less time trying to give us crap explanations that are ridiculous at face value.  Unfortunately for these "authorities", we are not as stupid as their answers.

It would honestly be better for these people to just admit they don't know any better than we do.

Scientists struggling to explain massive worldwide wildlife deaths

It started in Arkansas with 100,000 fish and 5,000 redwing blackbirds.  Then it was 500 more birds a few days later in Louisiana.  Several hundred show up in Kentucky.  Now new stories are surfacing from around the globe of birds and fish dying in droves.  A bunch of birds dead on a highway in Sweden.  100 tons of fish wash up on the coast of Brazil.  These occurances are ostensibly unrelated but they all have at least one thing in common - scientists don't have a freaking clue what the causes are and are pulling blatantly preposterous explanations out of their asses to quell the increasing alarm of the public. 

Our main theory is that the birds were scared away because of the fireworks and landed on the road, but couldn't fly away from the stress and were hit by a car.

Okay.  Right.  The fireworks scared them, but they all stood still for the car to hit them?  Sounds like a stretch, but not as ridiculous as the following explanation given on MSNBC.

It's probable that thousands of birds were asleep, roosting in a single tree, when a 'washing machine-type thunderstorm' sucked them up into the air, disoriented them, and even fatally soaked and chilled them.

Probable?  Excuse my non-professional blogger language, but come the f@#% on!  At what point does it become less damaging for scientists to admit they don't have a clue what's going on than to publicly postulate preposterous proposals posing as possible understanding of the predicament?  Was there even a thunderstorm in Arkansas on New Year's Eve?  Wouldn't that have already worked its way into the story?

Blackbirds have poor night vision and they were likely killed because they banged into houses, trees and each other in their fright.

Right.  They were scared and 5,000 of them hit stuff so hard they died?  Wouldn't some be only slightly injured?  Where are the 10,000 injured birds?  There are none?  So 5,000 are dead and the rest just flew away unharmed.  The truth here is that "authorities" just plain don't know what's going on, only they can't bring themselves to admit it.  So they have to say something.

I've heard theories from non-scientists that made more sense.  I'm not talking about the invisible UFO theory.  Not because I don't believe in invisible space ships, rather I don't think it's likely to have caused the fish deaths also.  Those things have been going into and out of our oceans for centuries without creating this sort of havoc.  Ask Columbus.  But I digress...

The theory I find most probable, obviously not proposed by self-respecting scientific minds, is that these localized deaths are due to use of HAARP or something like it.  Focused energy of a particular vibration reflected off part of the atmosphere. 

Why?  Buckle in, kids.  This might be where I lose you.  The ones I call The Owners - you may know them as the NWO, the Illuminati, the Bilderbergers, etc. - have had a plan forever to create a sense of dread surrounding events leading up to December 21,2012.  If they can scare the general public into a sense of some terrible end of days scenario that very public won't be open to learning the more glorious truths about this very unique period in our history.  These same people like to slip ideas and concepts into popular shows and movies to place them firmly in the collective conscious.  An event virtually identical to the blackbird die off was part of the plot of ABC's Flashforward, except in that show it was crows that died in droves mysteriously.

A more insidious possible explanation is The Owners are experimenting with frequencies to determine what species are effected at what frequency of the ray.  This is why only one type of bird dies; why 100,000 drum fish show up on the banks of a river but not smallmouth bass or bluegill. 

Just wait till they figure out what frequency kills off the humans.

2 news stories about massive wildlife deaths in Arkansas. Connected?

(Update Jan.5, 2011: Scientists struggling to explain massive worldwide wildlife deaths)


One of the first stories that caught my eye this morning was about a massive fishkill along the Arkansas River. Weird thing about it is only one species of fish died, the drum.  Of course, this happened a couple states downstream from where the river runs through my hometown of Wichita, KS - nevertheless, it makes me wonder what the cause may be.

Minutes after coming across that story, however, I'm accosted by another headline from the Washington Post about wildlife dying in droves in Arkansas.  In what seems like an aviary version of the ill-fated ABC drama FlashForward, more than 1,000 blackbirds just seemed to have dropped dead.  (Edit 4:20pm CST, 1.3.2011 - although initially reported to be 1,000 redwing blackbirds, the numbers have been changed to 4,000 to 5,000 birds.) 

Could it just be coincidence?  Hardly likely.  Reason suspects a connection.  And why drum but not small-mouth bass?  Why blackbirds but not robins?  Such large numbers dead, but only a single species in each case.  How is it possible that 5,000 birds of only one species died together in one little section of Arkansas?  Thousands of fish die in one section of the Arkansas River, but only ONE species of fish. 

It's all very weird.  I'd like to thank TV News Lies for bringing both stories to my attention.  I hope they'll pass along a connection to the events if one is found.

Cancers from Environment 'Grossly Underestimated'. Do You Care Yet?

"Environmental carcinogens are responsible for a far greater number of cancers than previously believed -- a fact that suggests eradicating these environmental threats should be a priority for President Obama -- according to the report of a presidential advisory panel.
"The Panel was particularly concerned to find that the true burden of environmentally induced cancer has been grossly underestimated," wrote the authors of the report, "Reducing Environmental Cancer Risk: What We Can Do Now."

"The panel urges you most strongly to use the power of your office to remove the carcinogens and other toxins from our food, water, and air that needlessly increase health care costs, cripple our Nation's productivity, and devastate American lives," the report's authors wrote in a letter to President Obama."

So...not only is all our man-made pollution destroying ecosystems and effecting climate change (Yes, I meant to use the word "effecting" and not "affecting". You can't out-grammar nazi a grammar nazi.), but it's making us all sick. Creating disease in our bodies, more than we knew. That adds up to health care costs. Oh - that's your money! Do you care yet?

Spill, Baby, Spill!

So it seems the Deepwater Horizon, an offshore oil rig that exploded earlier this week, has now sunk into the Gulf of Mexico - presumably with the bodies of the 11 workers still missing. A prescient name for an oil drill?

Forget the unfortunate dead workers. Like soldiers, they knew the risk. Forget that this will be used as an excuse to drive up crude futures and thereby raise gas prices. Forget that President Obama looked more like Sarah Palin than an agent of hope and change when he recently decided to open up coastal areas to MORE offshore drilling. What you need to know TODAY is that there's potential for this rig to release up to 300,000 gallons of crude oil a day into the gulf. That would impact sea life. That would impact bird life. That would impact delicate marshland wildlife on the Louisiana coast. Incidentally, that figure of 300,000 came from agovernmental group known as the Coast Guard - not an environmental group.

At present, the Coast Guard doesn't know if the Deepwater is spilling crude in the deep water. They do know there's a 1-mile-by-5-mile spill presently on the water.

I'd like to remind you that the cleanup from the Exxon Valdez disaster is STILL ongoing. Still not cleaned up. Still affecting the environment and the local wildlife in Alaska.

More oil is not the answer. It's poison. The money spent on cleaning up after the 858 fires and explosions in the gulf since 2001 could be spent on R&D to make America the biggest, baddest, greenest motherland on the planet. Future generations deserve for us to reverse momentum on all fossil fuels and use of carbon to fuel our activity on this planet.

No oil rigs. No oil disasters. It's just that easy.
