Chicago area suffers amazing bird loss.

I haven't seen a crow around here in ages. We have a couple of bird feeders and still get a few blue jays and more than a few chickadees. It's strange that this particular area is suffering such a loss.
Most blue jays, crows in area lost to W. Nile
February 5, 2003
BY GARY WISBY ENVIRONMENT REPORTER

West Nile virus has wiped out an amazing 81 percent of crows and 66 percent of blue jays in the Chicago area, the Chicago Audubon Society reported Tuesday.
Previous counts indicated the two species were missing from certain locales, but the new numbers--furnished by the annual Christmas count--are the first to show damage across the whole region.
The count also showed a decrease in black-capped chickadees across the area.
Comparing numbers from more than 100 years of Christmas counts brought the "shocking" declines into focus, said Audubon projects coordinator Judy Pollock.
No other parts of the country had such a loss of chickadees.
"It hasn't come up in the Northeast at all," even though West Nile originated there, Pollock said.
"Two of the areas experienced a virtual collapse in their jay and crow populations," said William Moskoff, professor emeritus of economics and biology at Lake Forest College.
In the Barrington and Evanston-North Shore areas, numbers of both species were down at least 90 percent from the 10-year average.

Have been wondering if the west nile virus has been purposely unleashed ? I shudder to think of what warm temperatures will bring. |

The United States weapons labs perfected West Nile and even sold some of that technology to Saddam Hussein. I even heard Rummy (Rumsfeld) talking about how Saddam supposedly still has stores of West Nile.
I think it was purposefully released as well Jeanie. NY state was sprayed viciously the first two years West Nile was reported.
I'm sure only a few in the CIA know what the real reason is behind it's release. |

Don't thank me...research it yourself.I got a friend up in Buffalo who said there were times he couldn't even go outside because the spraying was so bad. That summer his eyes were almost always swollen and his lungs were full of junk. God only knows what it did to his health.
SOME PEOPLE will apologize for them but I WON'T. Why people want to apologize for these CRIMINALS is beyond me. I guess they like tyranny and being poisoned.

And you know what's strange? The naysayers of chemtrails will look in every nook and cranny to disprove them, and will even say "The government would never spray us", and no comments on West Nile Spraying. Well, I live right next to New York, and they were spraying in Bergen County the last two years, against the will of the people.
We have been troubled by this for some time now. I have bird feeders all over my yard, 16 cockatiels, and nurse sick outside birds to health. Birds and wildlife are the litmus paper for what's so wrong with TPTB. Frogs with 2 heads and reversed sex, birds dropping dead, increased cancer rates, and immune system destruction passing as AIDS. DNA based life is in danger. |

I'd like to see how encephalitis was perfected, and where this is written :
The United States weapons labs perfected West Nile and even sold some of that technology to Saddam Hussein.

U.S. Gave West Nile, Other Viruses, to Iraq
John O. Edwards
Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2002 The United States supplied Saddam Hussein's Iraq with the West Nile virus, a recently released CDC letter proves.
NewsMax.com has obtained a copy of a 1995 letter sent by Dr. David Satcher, then Bill Clinton’s director of the the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to Sen. Donald Riegle. (View the actual letter.)
Satcher, who would later become surgeon general, identified in his letter to Riegle the West Nile virus as one of almost two dozen forms of viruses, retroviruses, bacteria and fungi provided by the U.S. to Iraqi labs during the 1980s.
The sensational revelations add more weight to allegations in NewsMax’s best-selling new book, "Catastrophe: Clinton’s Role in America’s Worst Disaster,” which claims West Nile was a form of bioterrorism aimed at the U.S.
Earlier this month, NewsMax reported that Sen. Patrick Leahy described reports that West Nile was an act of bioterror against the U.S. as "credible.” Leahy also suggested that the purpose of the attack was to test our defenses against a biological attack.
Now, BusinessWeek reports this week that Leahy is not alone, noting that "some congressional leaders are asking whether the mosquito-borne illness could be linked to terrorism or to Iraq's bioweapons program.”
As "Catastrophe” first outlined, there is compelling evidence, including a series of unusual coincidences, that adds credence to worries West Nile was used as a biological weapon.
For example, "Catastrophe" reveals that first outbreak of West Nile took place near the U.N. during the late 1990s, at the same time the organization was vigorously seeking to enforce sanctions against the Iraqi regime.
"Catastrophe" also quotes a top Iraqi defector who reported in 1997 – before the first outbreak of West Nile here – that Saddam Hussein had bragged that he would unleash the West Nile virus against the U.S.
In his 1995 letter, Dr. Satcher informed Sen. Riegle that the CDC gave Iraq biological agents, including the plague, West Nile and dengue fever.
Obeying the U.N.
The CDC told BusinessWeek the transfer was not unusual and was in accordance with "World Health Organization guidelines that encouraged the free exchange of biological samples among medical researchers.”
The magazine also reported that the West Nile strain "is not the same strain provided to Iraq.”
But the Iraqi defector who first warned of the virus said Saddam told him he developed an unusual strain of the virus. Other experts have confirmed that Saddam has the ability to mutate viruses and other biological agents.
Also, after the first outbreak of the virus in New York City, then-Surgeon General David Satcher admitted that this particular strain of West Nile was unusual, and had appeared at the same time in only two other countries: Israel and Saudi Arabia.
The U.S., Israel and Saudi Arabia had also been strongly pressing for strong U.N. sanctions against Iraq.

I'm not eating nothing little man...just forcing you toad like people who throw reckless slipshot tabloid rag journalism around like chicken feed to back up your words with facts...
BTW,it says nowhere in that article that rumsfeld said anything of the kind...
why do you blame bush and the current gov. for what was sold in the 1980's ?
I guess your for reparations too ?
if saddam can mutate viri and the strain is traced back to him, that would make the coming attack on iraq not a pre-emptive one......right on ! good post mech ! tell the peacniks to set the hell down ! it's legitimate war ! it's legitimate war !
which it is anyway...

No...i'm not Biased whatsoever.
But I know for certain there wasn't a demoRAT president during the 1980's when the transaction was made.
Again... you are sticking up for the same people who could give a rats A$$ wether or not you live or die and if this country falls apart. So much the better for the globalists. |
