Aflockalypse

That's the catchy name for the animal die offs..."aflockalypse". However, before you head down in your bunker with your tinfoil hat on and your pistol loaded....you might want to read this article from Christian Science Monitor.

First, the blackbirds fell out of the sky on New Year's Eve in Arkansas. In recent days, wildlife have mysteriously died in big numbers: 2 million fish in the Chesapeake Bay, 150 tons of red tilapia in Vietnam, 40,000 crabs in Britain and other places across the world.

Blogs connected the deadly dots, joking about the "aflockalypse" while others saw real signs of something sinister, either biblical or environmental.

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.

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.

"This instant and global communication, it's just a human instinct to read mystery and portents of dangers and wondrous things in events that are unusual," Wilson told The Associated Press on Thursday. "Not to worry, these are not portents that the world is about to come to an end."

Personally, I do believe the world is coming to an end, but it's not simply because of a few dead birds....BUT.....I do agree with the fact that technology is making us all jumpy about the supposed increase of radical events happening all over the world.

Think about it; if you lived in Dickinson, ND 70 years ago...would you have known about a 7.5 earthquake that happened in Iran yesterday? Would you know about the 7.0 that happened in Chile the day before? Would you know about 5000 dead birds in Arkansas? How long may it have taken for you to find out about the thousands dead in Haiti?

If you went back 150 years it's quite possible that you would NEVER know about anything that happened anywhere else in the world!

So while I am a major proponent of connecting dots of prophetic things that are happening...not EVERYTHING that happens is part of an Illuminati or One-World-Order master plan to take over the world.
