End Times, Fireworks, Experiment Gone Wrong, Or?
Exley is part of a movement of Christians loosely organized by radio broadcasts and websites, independent of churches and convinced by their reading of the Bible that the end of the world will begin May 21, 2011.
To get the word out, they’re using billboards and bus stop benches, traveling caravans of RVs and volunteers passing out pamphlets on street corners. Cities from Bridgeport, Conn., to Little Rock, Ark., now have billboards with the ominous message, and mission groups are traveling through Latin America and Africa to spread the news outside the U.S.
“A lot of people might think, ‘The end’s coming, let’s go party,’” said Exley, a veteran of two deployments in Iraq. “But we’re commanded by God to warn people. I wish I could just be like everybody else, but it’s so much better to know that when the end comes, you’ll be safe.”more (thank you battleskin)
BEEBE, Ark. — New Year’s revelers in a small Arkansas town were enjoying midnight fireworks when they noticed something other than sparks falling from the sky: thousands of dead blackbirds.
The red-winged blackbirds rained out of the darkness onto rooftops and sidewalks and into fields. One struck a woman walking her dog. Another hit a police cruiser.
Birds were “littering the streets, the yards, the driveways, everywhere,” said Robby King, a county wildlife officer in Beebe, a community of 5,000 northeast of Little Rock.
“It was hard to drive down the street in some places without running over them.” In all, more than 3,000 birds tumbled to the ground. Scientists said Monday that fireworks appeared to have frightened the birds into such a frenzy that they crashed into homes, cars and each other. Some may have flown straight into the ground.more
State officials on Monday were investigating why 80,000 to 100,000 fish washed up dead on the shores of the Arkansas River last week.
“The fish deaths will take about a month” to determine a cause, Keith Stephens, a spokesman for the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, told msnbc.com. Stephens also provided the estimate of 80,000 to 100,000 dead fish.
The fish were found Thursday by a tugboat operator along a 20-mile stretch of the Arkansas River near the city of Ozark.
The mass kill occurred just one day before thousands of blackbirds dropped dead from the sky in Beebe, Ark., which is 125 miles away.
Officials said 95 percent of the fish that died were drum fish — indicating that the likely cause of death was disease as only one species was affected.more
New Yorkers are certainly a savvy bunch, which is why it’s surprising that there is a lot of chatter on Twitter right now about an alleged UFO sighting in the city. While there’s been no documentation, it hasn’t stopped thousands of twitterers from postulating. This website claims all the hooplah is in reference to a retired NORAD general predicting a UFO visit on October 13, 2010.
Retired Air Force Officer Stanley A. Fulham released the third edition of his 352-page book, Challenges of Change, which suggests that on October 13 there will be “a massive UFO display over the world’s principal cities.”A high percentage of web traffic is pointing to this video, posted today, as evidence:
This is getting weird, more dead birds and 100 Tons of fish dead
This is just getting weird, and they must really think everyone is simply stupid to fall for the fireworks scared them, because if that where the case millions of birds would die yearly.
My brother and I were talking about this yesterday and he shook his head on the end of the world stuff. Which I agree to an extent. I put up the aliens thing because funny how this is all seemingly coming together about the same time or not reported at all.
About U.S. Volcanoes
Then my brother brought up another really good point, perhaps a volcano or some other sort of natural disaster is about to happen and pollute the air/water naturally.

Following on the heels of thousands of red-winged blackbirds dying in a small Arkansas town, several hundred more mysteriously died farther south in Louisiana.
Officials are trying to determine what killed an estimated 500 of the small birds, who littered Louisiana Highway 1 near Pointe Coupee Parish when they fell out of the sky, according to Baton Rouge’s The Advocate.
Among this new batch of dead birds were several starlings, the newspaper reported.
“We have sent bird carcasses to two individual labs to obtain toxicology reports,” Bo Boehringer, spokesperson for the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, told the Daily News.
He said it was not clear what had caused the birds to die off, despite random theories including fireworks or hail, as well as the wrath of God and government conspiracies. Boehringer downplayed any connection between the red-winged blackbird deaths in Louisiana to the ones in Arkansas, several hundred miles away.
Meanwhile, as officials in Arkansas continue to investigate what may have killed nearly 100,000 fresh water drum in the Arkansas River, wildlife experts in Maryland are looking into their own massive fish kill in the Chesapeake Bay.
“We are seeing small/juvenile menhaden, croaker, spot fish dead, in very large fish kills,” said Dawn Stoltzfus, director of communications for Maryland’s Department of the Environment. “The numbers are estimated in the hundreds of the thousands at this point.”
Nearly 100 tons of dead fish, consisting mostly of sardines, hit the beaches of Paranagua, Brazil, on Sunday.

Did you know?
- Common minerals in volcanic rocks include quartz [SiO2], anorthite feldspar [CaAl2Si2O8] olivine [(Fe,Mg)2SiO4], magnetite [Fe3O4], biotite [K(Mg,Fe)3AlSi3O10(OH)2 and pyroxene [Ca,Fe,Mg)2Si2O6]
- Obsidian (volcanic glass) is not a mineral because glass has no orderly internal structure.
- Amber is not a mineral because it is formed by organic processes, and its chemical composition can vary.
- Rocks, such as granite or sandstone, are mixtures of minerals. Their compositions can vary widely and cannot be approximated by a mineral formula.
