Trees Are Dying All Over the World – Including 4,000-Year-Old Bristlecones. What Can Revive Them?

“The champions are in harm's way. The whole country should be forested coast to coast with these giant trees, not with the puny, craggly, miserable mess we call our forests. We don't realize what we've lost.”

David Milarch, Founder and Pres., Champion Tree Project

May 24, 2012  Helena, Montana - “When Europeans first came to North America, one of the largest primeval forests in the world covered much of the continent. Experts say a squirrel could have traveled from the Atlantic coast to the Mississippi River without touching the ground. But only about 3 percent of America's native old-growth forest remains.”

E. T. Artifacts and Subatomic Attotechnology

“If you have specific coordinates of a target on the other side of the Earth, point the atto weapon right at the ground toward those coordinates and set if off. It would go through the Earth and hit the target on the other side of the Earth.”

- “Sam Jones,” U. S. Army, Mogadishu, Somalia

 

May 18, 2012  Albuquerque, New Mexico - Five years ago beginning in May 2007, and extending through June 2007, a series of images emerged from half a dozen people of mysterious aerial “dragonfly-shaped drones.” In addition to photographs from different people in different California sites, other eyewitnesses reported sightings as far back as the late 1980s.

History of Half-Cat Mutilations

“Some of the cats were cut in half with what some say is almost surgical precision, others disemboweled or skinned.”

- The New York Times, August 13, 1989

Above: Mutilated male cat was found first week of August 2003, in Bothell Washington. Veterinarian Cherie Good, D.V.M., placed cat remains to show width of cat's cut out middle section. Below is an x-ray of the same cat showing the dark space in the back half that indicates all internal organs were removed. Photograph and x-ray © 2003 by Cherie Good, D.V.M.

May 11, 2012  Albuquerque, New Mexico - The following is an overview of the many half-cat mutilations I have reported about at Earthfiles.

In 1978 in St. Catharines near Toronto, Canada, authorities were frustrated by more than 100 missing cats and dogs and many others found in their owners' yards cut in half, skinned, decapitated, disemboweled, or paws removed, without blood at the site.

- “A Typhoon jet was tracking a helicopter flying over the Bath area, but another Typhoon jet appeared to some onlookers to be concentrating on a white or silver object much higher in the sky.”

Bath Chronicle, April 13, 2012, after loud boom heard over 5 English counties

- “I was just about to take the dogs out when this very loud, almost scary, sound and rumbling began, almost like a snowplow scraping a dry road and a freight train were going down the road.”

Update on Bath, England, Silver Disc and Typhoon Jets

A loud bang over five English counties provoked calls to emergency services in Somerset, West Midlands, Warwickshire, Oxfordshire and Wiltshire at 18:10 BST (6:10 PM local and 10:10 AM Pacific), on Friday evening, April 12, 2012. After first saying it was investigating what the sound could be, later MoD said the loud bang was a sonic boom from two Typhoon jets launched to investigate an emergency signal from a small helicopter over Bath. For more than an hour, the MoD and other authorities said the cause of the boom was unknown and they were investigating. Speculation about what could have caused the noise ranged from a large explosion to a tremor under the earth. The Bath Chronicle reported, “Many people on Twitter reported doors and windows shaking, while others thought there had been an underground explosion.”

Malta’s 6,000-Year-Old Hypogeum – Built to Alter Minds with Sound?

“There is a niche carved at the back of the Hypogeum oracle room chamber that seems like a deliberate amplification channel for throwing sound.”

-Linda Eneix, Founder, Mediterranean Inst. of Ancient Civilizations

The Oracle Room has a powerful acoustic resonance in the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum of Paola, Malta, the only prehistoric underground temple in the world dated to about 6,000 years old. Hypogeum means “underground” in Greek. Image © by Linda Eneix, OTS Foundation.

Updated May 6, 2012 / Original April 27, 2012   Sarasota, Florida - At the center of the Mediterranean Sea between Palermo at the tip of Italy and Tunisia in northern Africa is an ancient island complex known as Malta. It's entire land mass is only 122 square miles, making it one of the world's smallest states. About 6,000 years ago, people there built extraordinary megaliths and temples, including the world's oldest known freestanding structure completely underground known as the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum.

More Unexplained Booms in Boston and Beyond

- “It sounds like the same kind of boom as others have reported, like something heavy being hurled into an empty dumpster, or a heavy load of something like metal and wood being dropped all at once from a considerable height. It doesn't resemble any sonic boom I've ever heard, or any kind of artillery.”

- Kingston, Washington Resident about April 30, 2012, Loud, Metallic Booms

- “It sounded like there was an explosion in the basement that shook the whole house.”

- Puyallup, Washington Resident about April 12, 2012, Loud, Metallic Boom

May 1, 2012  Boston, Massachusetts, and Tacoma, Washington region - Earthfiles has received many more strange boom reports since reporting on April 26, 2012, about the bizarre and still-unexplained metallic, jolting booms throughout North America and abroad, that have persisted since February 2012. Recently a series of boom phenomena all happening between April 12 and 14, ranged from Bath, England; to central Ohio; to Tacoma, Washington; to San Diego County, California; to Columbia, Missouri. Below emails begin with booms and some light flashes in the Boston, Massachusetts, region on April 27 and 29, 2012, followed by more reports from the Tacoma, Washington, region that include strange military jet and helicopter maneuvers west of reported booms.

Purdue Univ. Reports Clothianidin At “Unprecedented Levels” in U. S. Is “Highly Toxic to Honey Bees” 

- “We've been subjected to nine years of this carnage to protect Bayer's market share.”

- Tom Theobald, Owner, Niwot Honey Farm, Colorado

- “Neonicotinoid insecticides in 2012 will be in nearly 200 million acres of annual U. S. crops. ... 2 or 3 billionths of a gram of clothianidin - if it is fed to the bees in sugar solution - is a lethal dose.”

- Christian H. Krupke, Ph.D., Entomologist, Purdue Univ.

Published January 3, 2012, PLoS One.

April 27, 2012  West Lafayette, Indiana - Commercial honey bee colonies and wild pollinators are in serious decline worldwide. Entomologist Christian Krupke, Ph.D., at Purdue University knows that neurotoxins such as the nicotine-based insecticide clothianidin can kill honey bees after the smallest exposures. He also knows that the the number of acres in the United States now being planted with clothianidin-coated seeds is the largest on record - some 200 million acres. And in a January 3, 2012, research article for the science journal PLoS ONE, he explained that “virtually all of the corn seed planted in North America is coated with neonicotinoid insecticides, such as clothianidin and thiamethoxam.”
