More Cat Mutilations – This Time in Corpus Christi, Texas

“Some of the cats were cut in half with what some say  is almost surgical precision, others disemboweled or skinned. One resident said,  ‘There is never any blood at the scene, the animals are often dismembered  with surgical precision and paws and other body parts are often left on the ground in strikingly similar arrangements.'”

– The New York Times, August 13, 1989

Please Note: This report contains photographs of half cats which might be disturbing to some viewers.

April 9, 2007   Corpus Christi, Texas –  Texas has had repeating cycles of cat and other animal mutilations for at least sixteen years. In Plano, Texas, an affluent suburb north of Dallas, in 1991 and 1993, police received dozens of reports about cats found cut in half, usually with the front half near the owners’ yards or sidewalks. Plano Police Detective Mike Box also had missing reports on more than 80 domestic house cats that wore collars and identification tags, but were never found. Detective Box investigated satanic cult activities, but could not find any evidence that connected them to the mutilated and missing cats and other animals such as dogs.Click for report.

Collapse of Honey Bees in U. S., Canada and 9 European Countries

“We’re seeing that some beekeepers have lost fairly high levels of bees over the winter – one beekeeper as high as 90% loss.”

– Brent Halsall, Pres., Ontario Beekeepers Assoc., Canada

April 6, 2007   London, England  – When hives in Toronto and Saskatchewan, Canada, were opened up in the last week of March, at least 40% had either disappeared – or in another twist of the mystery – in some Canadian hives, thousands of bee bodies were found dead.Click for report.

Unexplained Turbulence in Venusian Clouds

"It is not yet clear if atmospheric turbulences may be induced by rough topography below the clouds."

April 3 , 2007  Paris, France -  New images and data from the European Space Agency’s mission to Venus provide more details about the turbulent and noxious atmosphere of Earth’s sister planet. What causes violent winds and turbulences? Is the surface topography playing a role in the complex global dynamics of the atmosphere?

The images, showing a complex cloud system, were taken on the night-side of Venus at a wavelength of 1.7 micron that allows viewing the deep atmospheric layers. Credits: ESA/VIRTIS/INAF-IASF/Obs. de Paris-LESIA.

Fastest Rotating Object in Our Solar System is One of Strangest

“We didn’t expect to find anything so strangely shaped and so rapidly rotating. It’s the fastest, large rotating object in the solar system."

- Michael E. Brown, Ph.D., Cal Tech

Click for Earthfiles Podcast  

March 30, 2007  Pasadena, California - For the first time in astronomical history, a huge, bizarre rock beyond Neptune has been linked to other orbiting bodies out there. Some how the big rock called 2003 EL61, which is almost the size of Pluto, got into orbit out in the Kuiper Belt where most every other object is made of ice. Not only is this huge rocky object there, it is the only object in our solar system shaped like an American football and tumbling long end-over-end every four hours.

Genetically Modified Crops: Playing Dangerous Genetic Roulette?

“When you create a genetically modified crop or organism, it’s not like you’re sticking a gene in like a Lego piece that snaps into place. There is massive collateral damage that occurs within the DNA. This can create unpredictable side effects.”

– Jeffrey Smith

March 22, 2007  Fairfield, Iowa – The United States accounts for nearly two-thirds of all biotechnology crops planted globally. Since 1996, the United States has consistently planted more GM crops than any other country. Total acres of genetically modified corn, soybeans, cotton, and canola planted in the United States in 2006 totaled 128.3 million acres – an increase of nearly 10% more GMs planted than in 2005.

In addition to large farming of soy, corn, cotton, canola, and alfalfa, other smaller GM crops now include zucchini, crooked neck squash, and Hawaiian papaya. Meanwhile, data keeps piling up about human allergies and sick and dying animals and amphibians linked to interactions with GMs. One man is convinced that GMs should be eliminated from the world’s agriculture. He is Jeffrey Smith, author of the best selling 2003 book, Seeds of Deception. His follow-up book will be released in April with a title he says sums up the situation in two words: Genetic Roulette. His subtitle is: “The documented health risks of genetically engineered foods.”

The Foreword is written by Michael Meacher, former U. K. Environment Minister, who states:  “The case presented is absolutely a smoking shotgun that should stop in its tracks any dabbling with GM foods, whether by individual families, food companies or indeed, nations. … Jeffrey Smith is the modern David against the GM Goliath. This book may well provide the slingshot to change the global course of events this century.”

Recently, I talked with Jeffrey Smith about some of the documented health risks to humans and animals and why genetically modified crops are different than naturally evolved crops.

Genetic Roulette © 2007 by Jeffrey M. Smith will be released in April 2007, and will be available from GeneticSeedsofDeception.com and toll free 888-717-7000.

March 16, 2007  Phoenix, Arizona - Ten years ago this month on March 13, 1997, a series of unidentified aerial lights were reported by thousands of people from Paulden and Prescott to Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona, and further west over Nevada. The earliest reports began around 8 PM local time and continued into the evening. Then between 10 and 10:30 PM, an arc of lights emerged over Phoenix that was videotaped by residents and made the local television news and later all the network and cable news programs.

Honey Bee Disappearances Continue: Could  Pesticides Play A Role?

“How much of our food production do we want to turn over to other
countries that might be friendly now and not friendly in the future? The federal government is looking at this and my question is: Are honey bees the canary in the coal mine? What are honey bees trying to tell us that we humans should be paying more attention to?”

– Jerry Hayes, Chief, Apiary Section, Florida Dept. of Agriculture, Gainesville, Florida

March 16, 2007  Washington, D. C. – In my previous February 23, 2007, Earthfiles and Coast to Coast AM news updates about the mysterious honey bee disappearances, I interviewed a Pennsylvania honey beekeeper who has had nearly 2,000 of his 2900 hives disappear – a 60% loss to date. That is David Hackenberg of Hackenberg Apiary in Pennsylvania. He said he had never seen so many deserted hives that were also left alone by predator moths and beetles. That’s why he suspects some kind of pesticide is getting into the flower pollen and nectar and poisoning the hives. He contacted Penn State’s bee experts to investigate. But to date, there is no answer.Click for report.
