Guest guest Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 ELECROMAGNETIC ACTIVITY AND DEAD ANIMALS http://julieking.htmlplanet.com/custom.html Reflecting on the many incidents this year relating to the great numbers of dead or dying seals, sharks, dolphins, Whales and more recently bids, I thought it may be of importance to compile the below short succinct article. One must also bear in mind the recent electromagnetic activity we are experiencing, both natural and man made, some under most dubious circumstances involving HAARP, Brookhaven which seem to be altering the magnetic frequency and vibrational level on a global scale. SHARKS. Let us deal with the recent number of dead sharks found recently. Sharks, unlike dolphins and whales that are mammals, are fish and mainly cold blooded. Sharks are also related to rays. The cerebellum is in charge of body movement; the hindbrain processes most sensory information and moves the head; the tectum integrates sensory information; the olfactory lobes are for the sense of smell; the diencephalon regulates hormones and some behaviours; the forebrain coordinates sensory information. They can also sense electricity and vibrations in the water. A shark's primary sense is a keen sense of smell. It can detect one drop of blood in a million drops of water (25 gallons or 100 liters) and can smell blood 0.25 mile (4 km) away. Sharks can also detect electric fields, which is emitted in small amounts by every living animal, but it is important to note that sharks may be more sensitive to electric fields than any other animal. Sharks have a special network of jelly-filled canals in their head called the ampullae of Lorenzini that detect these electric fields. This lets the shark pick up weak electrical stimuli from the muscle contractions of animals. It may also serve to detect magnetic fields, which some sharks may use in navigation. Sharks can sense vibrations in the water using the lateralis system. The " lateral line " system is a network of neuromasts, which are fine, fluid-filled vessels that run along a shark's body under the skin along the length of a shark. Many small pores open up on the skin, detecting the intensity and direction of vibrations in the water Sharks are very sensitive to low frequency sounds and have good directional hearing. Based on the above information, one can see how easy it would be for sharks to be affected by any disruption in a magnetic or electrical change in the surrounding environment. Birds. We will now briefly look at the avian problem in light of the recent bird deaths. I would also like to add a note here of the incident of the person whose chickens started to moult and stopped laying. Chickens, like most other bird and other animals, rely on the regular patterns of lunar and solar cycles, any disruption in this cycle will throw their own life cycles out completely. Such as pre season moult, and the occurrence of a solar eclipse which affects the female utera system, and in turn affecting egg production etc. It may also be of note to mention that many years ago it was discovered to rid Chicken houses of Northern fowl mite, a great nuisance to egg production, a system of copper poles laid around the house eradicated the problem. This method affected the â?oelectric fieldâ? in the immediate area, thus causing disorientation in the mite that scuttled off! Birds rely heavily on the North-South pole configuration, which actually varies somewhat and in fact over a few million years can reverse its configuration. If this â?oelectromagneticâ? field is disrupted in any shape or form, birds would be the first to be affected. If it is a sudden change, and one that warrants sufficient strength (as we have seen of late) then the input would scramble their brains like a microwave, thus leaving literally thousands of what I call â?osudden avian deathâ? syndrome (SAD). There would be no physical outward sign to demonstrate the cause, and even a Post-mortem may not reveal any signs unless you knew exactly what you are looking for. And going on personal experience having post mortared thousands of birds in my time, this is not an easy task! The main routes bird use in migration conforms very closely to major topographical features when these happen to lie in the general direction of the travel to be performed. It happens to work out nicely in North America where the coasts, mountain chains and come of the larger rivers do not depart from a north-and-south alignment. Maps of these routes may be seen at http://nuthatch.birdnature.com/flyways.html In addition I thought readers may be interested in the following data, reference is at end of article. Now it is known that the earth's north magnetic pole lies in the Baffin Islands of Canada, a little north of Northwest Territories. This is nearly 800 miles from the geographic pole. In the Southern Hemisphere, the magnetic pole lies even further from the geographic pole. Anyone who uses topographic maps is aware of the fact there are corrections that need to be taken into account when using a magnetic compass. Over the greater part of Alaska, this correction varies from around 20 to 30 degrees--a relatively large amount compared with the rest of the world. In addition, there is a small annual drift. World-wide, this averages about 0.2 degrees per year. Surprisingly, over most of Alaska, the annual correction needed is essentially nil. Not only do the poles change their position, the magnetic field itself changes in strength. In the early 1800s, the field was about 6 percent greater than it is now. Around AD1600 it was 50 percent greater, but 5,500 years ago it was only about one-half the present value. http://dogbert.gi.alaska.edu/ScienceForum/ASF5/582.html Also to â?oback upâ? a few statements here are a few interesting and relevant sections from the Journal of Experimental Biology Magnetic orientation in birds Wolfgang Wiltschko and Roswitha Wiltschko Volume 199 (1) 1996 The journal of Experimental Biology The magnetic field of the earth is an omnipresent, reliable source of orientational information. A magnetic compass has been demonstrated in 18 species of migrating birds. In all species studied with regard to its functional properties, it was found to be an 'inclination compass', i. e. the birds derive directional information from the inclination of the field lines, and thus distinguish between 'poleward' and 'equatorward' rather than 'north' and 'south'. Such a mechanism means that birds from the northern and southern hemisphere may rely on the same migratory programme. Long-distance migrants, however, face the problem that their magnetic compass gives bimodal information at the magnetic equator. Transfers of information between the magnetic field and celestial sources of directional information have been demonstrated; the two systems interact in a complex way. Volume 194 (1) 1994 MELATONIN IS CRUCIAL FOR THE MIGRATORY ORIENTATION OF PIED FLYCATCHERS (FICEDULA HYPOLEUCA PALLAS) Thomas Schneider, Hans-Peter Thalau, Peter Semm and Wolfgang Wiltschko This indicates that melatonin is involved in migratory orientation, either in the processes of expressing the genetically encoded information on the migratory course as a direction with respect to the geomagnetic field or in the time programme controlling the specific migratory direction at a given time. Volume 203 (7) 2000 Infrasound and the avian navigational map Jonathan T. Hagstrum US Geological Survey, Menlo Park, 345 Middlefield Road, MS 937, CA 94025, USA Here, it is shown that in four recent pigeon races in Europe and the northeastern USA the birds encountered infrasonic (low-frequency acoustic) shock waves from the Concorde supersonic transport. An acoustic avian map is proposed that consists of infrasonic cues radiated from steep-sided topographic features; the source of these signals is microseisms continuously generated by interfering oceanic waves. Atmospheric processes affecting these infrasonic map cues can explain perplexing experimental results from pigeon releases Dolphins: Without going into too great a detail at this point, it may be worth remembering our great cousin the dolphin. As our nearest warm-blooded relation, dolphins would also feel the affects of any disruption in the EM fields especially when it is sonar based (bats would be another mammal that would be affected). Dolphins and whales are of the CETACEA family. I attach an interesting article below with the relevant link. Dolphins, Whales, and other sea life are being killed by Low Frequency Active Sonar http://www.dreamweaving.com/lfas/index.html Also included is the report on The Surveillance Towed Array Sonar System (SURTASS) Low Frequency Active (LFA) Where Sonar is an extraordinarily powerful system the Navy seeks to deploy in 80% of the world's oceans.
