First 2013 Crop Pattern:  Gray, Tennessee

“I looked all around the pattern in my hay field and there were no tracks anywhere. But some tall grass was going clockwise and some was going counterclockwise. How is that possible?”

May 31, 2013  Gray, Tennessee - At 8 AM Monday, May 13, 2013, in Gray, Tennessee, 18-year-old Tim Blumberg went to the mailbox to place a letter his mom wanted mailed. He was surprised to see a pattern in the nearby hay field that was not there the day before. The Blumbergs are neighbors of Connie Osborne, 62, who was born in Carter City, Tennessee, only twenty-one miles from Gray, where she moved in 1979. Connie works for Host Engineering where she is a solder tech. She solders printed circuit boards for hard drives. The lowest part of her 8 1/2 acre farm is a field of eight different grasses that she grows for another neighbor to harvest as hay for his animals in exchange for his taking care of her property. That hay field is about twenty feet lower than her house and is dotted with large slabs of limestone that are part of the limestone beneath her hayfield and land.

— “The MERS coronavirus is a threat to the entire world.”

- Margaret Chan, M. D., Dir.-Gen., W.H.O., May 28, 2013

— “This is the first time health care workers have been diagnosed with MERS infection after exposure to patients.”

- World Health Organization, May 15, 2013

— “Of most concern is the fact that the different clusters of MERS seen in multiple countries increasingly supports the hypothesis that when there is close human contact, this MERS coronavirus can transmit from person to person.”

- Keiji Fukuda, Asst. Dir.-General, W.H.O.

Honey Bee Deaths Higher Again in 2012-2013 Winter: One-Third of American Colonies Died Out.

“We're getting closer and closer to the point where we don't have enough bees in this country to meet pollination demands.”

Neonicotinoid Clothianidin Pesticide and Honey Bees:  “Among the neonicotinoids, clothianidin is among those most toxic for honey bees; and this combined with its systemic movement in plants has produced a troubling mix of scientific results pointing to its potential risk for honey bees through current agricultural practices. Our own research indicates that systemic pesticides occur in pollen and nectar in much greater quantities than has been previously thought, and that interactions among pesticides occurs often and should be of wide concern.”

- James Frazier, Ph.D., Prof of Entomology, Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences

 

May 31, 2013  Niwot, Colorado - In early May 2013, the U. S. Department of Agriculture, apiary scientists and beekeepers all confirmed that the deaths and disappearances of honey bees in the United States in the winter of 2012 to 2013 rose again to at least one-third of all honey bee colonies.

GMO Herbicides Threaten Monarch Butterfly Migration

— “Less than three acres of trees in Mexico were occupied by Monarch butterflies this winter - about 1/20th of what it has been in the past....The scale of the loss of habitat is so big that unless we compensate for it in some way, the Monarch population will decline to the point where it will disappear.”

- Chip Taylor, Ph.D., Prof. of Biology, Univ. of Kansas; Founder and Director of Monarch Watch, Lawrence, Kansas

 

The Monarch butterfly is famous for its southward migration and northward return in summer from Canada to Mexico and Baja California which spans the life of three to four generations of the butterfly.

March 28, 2013 Lawrence, Kansas -  In the 1970s, Monsanto began producing the herbicide glyphosate, a broad leaf and grass weed killer called Roundup. Farmers liked it because it would kill many different types of weeds. Then Monsanto came up with genetically engineered corn and soybean crops that had their DNA altered to resist glyphosate. Farmers could now spray glyphosate everywhere without killing their corn and soybean crops. By 2007, glyphosate was the most used herbicide in United States agriculture. But what came next were “Superweeds” resistant to glyphosate. Monsanto scientists told farmers to simply apply more glyphosate.

Updated: Woodland Hills, CA “Sound of Glass Breaking”; Loud Booms in Louisville and Fort Knox, KY

— “The sounds being heard are coming from the Earth itself. Changes deep inside the core are vibrating the crust near thin areas and causing the crust to act like a speaker most often times projecting deep waves up to the ionosphere where they are (bounced back) at audible frequencies... These inner ground vibrations are also what is causing the sink hole issue around the world... and underground water sources are being vibrated to the point of dispersion.”

- Retired electronics engineer 2005, Hill AFB, Utah

— “Then an explosion happened right in the middle of my living room that had the sound and force of an explosion with an after-sound of breaking  glass.”

- Resident Anna Hoaglan, Woodland Hills, CA, March 7, 2013

— “This sounded like someone set off dynamite in front of my house.”

- Eddie Lashley, Louisville, Kentucky, on March 17, 2013

— “Why was the Civil Air Patrol Wing at Bowman Field, Kentucky, monitoring with a Cessna Skyhawk over Louisville from June through October 2012, for 6 to 8 hours a day on a classified mission?”

- Kentucky resident between Fort Knox and Louisville, Kentucky
