Song of the whales: Mysterious and disturbing strandings call us to consciousness

In today's Regsiter Guard, Eugene's paper, appeares a beautifully written, but tragic story of whale stranding on the Oregon coast, by Debra Merskin: Song of the whales: Mysterious and disturbing strandings call us to consciousness.

Animals Askew: Rabbit Love

A Portland, Oregon woman was arrested (again) for her obsession with rabbits. Oregon woman obsessed with rabbits arrested again Miriam Sakewitz, aka "the bunny lady" was under a court order disallowing her from owning animals. In 2007 she was ordered not to be within 100 feet of a rabbit. She ignored that court order, and was found in her hotel room with several rabbits in:

a hotel in the Portland suburb of Tigard after an employee reported finding rabbits hopping around in her room.

Sakewitz was found guilty of animal abuse and neglect, when police found:

nearly 250 rabbits in her home, including about 100 dead ones in freezers and refrigerators.

For some reason, the woman was not in jail, which made it all the easier for her to break into where the surviving rabbits were kept, stealing back some of the rabbits. Later, authorities found eight live rabbits, two that did not survive, and 130 rabbits at a "nearby horse farm."

Yakima's Radioactive Wasps

Yakima, Washington, has a haunted history, full of Fortean stuff. The area is known for UFOs, weird "batsquatch" type sightings; all kinds of unusual phenomena. Adding to the list of high strangeness is this news item on radioactive wasps: Radioactive wasps bug out nuclear cleanup workers:

YAKIMA, Wash. – If workers cleaning up the nation's most contaminated nuclear site didn't have enough to worry about, now they've got to deal with radioactive wasp nests. Mud dauber wasps built the nests, which have been largely abandoned by their flighty owners, in holes at south-central Washington's Hanford nuclear reservation in 2003.

That's when workers finished covering cleaned-up waste sites with fresh topsoil, native plants and straw to help the plants grow — inadvertently creating perfect ground cover for the insects to build their nests. Nearby cleanup work also provided a steady supply of mud, which the wasps used as building material.

Today, the nests, which could number in the thousands, are "fairly highly contaminated" with radioactive isotopes, such as cesium and cobalt, but don't pose a significant threat to workers digging them up.

Supposedly the wasps are "long gone" it's just the nests that are a worry. Uh-huh.

Oregon Refuses "Real ID"

Oregon lawmakers reject federal Real ID costs reports on Oregon's refusal to continue with "Real ID" due to expense. ("Real ID" creates national standards for driver's licenses and other forms of ID that will be acceptable to authorities and agencies, like airports.) But other issues concerning citizen's privacy are also a reason:

But, Metsger says, other Real ID provisions are expensive or threaten Oregonians' privacy.

For example, he said, Real ID would allow agencies to electronically scan and share copies of original identity documents -- such as birth certificates, passports, and Social Security cards in a shared database.

Eleven states have passed laws prohibiting implementation of Real ID.

Metsger says he doesn't think Oregon's rejection would lead airport and other security officers to reject Oregon driver's licenses.

Let's hope not. I can just see it; if you're from Oregon, you don't get to fly. It's encouraging to know that Homeland Security is looking out for us!

Ian Punnet and Bear Synchronicity

I posted earlier today (see post below) about a woman in Yachats, Oregon, who is on trail for feeding bears. Last week, I had some bear synchronicity, as I posted on my blog Women Of Esoterica. I just saw on Coast to Coast's Ian Punnett's blog this little item, with pic, on bear watching.

Woman on Trial for Feeding Bears

In the beautiful, peaceful coastal town of Yachats, a woman is facing jail time for feeding the bears.

Karen Noyes has been feeding bears for years, ever since one showed up as she was providing food to the birds outside her Yachats home.

“It scared me,” she said. “Then I thought ‘why should I feed them and not him?’ ”

Her neighbors and a Lincoln County prosecutor have an answer to the question. They say Noyes’ actions put herself and the community in danger.

“She created a situation where bears weren’t afraid of people anymore,” Deputy District Attorney Elijah Michalowski said. “People were telling her she needed to stop, yet she refused. She not only put herself at risk, she put all her neighbors at risk.”

Noyes, 61, is being tried this week on charges of harassing wildlife and recklessly endangering another person. If convicted, she could be ordered to pay fines and spend time in prison. Before the trial, she told The Oregonian newspaper that she once fed as many as 25 bears on a regular basis, but is now down to six. “They are perfectly safe,” she said. “They are timid and really sweet.”

Bears are a big problem in the coastal area; but it's we who have created that problem. Our actions have set in motion the situations that have forced bears to come closer to humans, our habitats, invade our space. We've been invading theirs, along with destruction of their habitats.

Bears are magnificant, but they're no house pet.

I'm all for the bears, but I'm also for common sense, and like to live a while longer; at any rate, don't want to leave this plane because I was mauled to death by a bear. I'm fearful when I walk about in a lot of areas out there because of the bear population having come closer; literally in everyone's backyards.

It's sad to think that probably, this can only get ugly, but I'll still hold out some hope humans will use both compassion and common sense.

Protest Weed Spraying, Get Killed

Item in the news today; a Washington man disturbed road crews who were spraying toxic stuff on the highway so they called the deputies, ... who arrived on the man's property, armed, confronted the man who was also armed, and he ends up dead.

Circle/Loop Trails in Eugene

Someone in the Eugene area shared this photo he took the day before yesterday of the circle, or loop, chemtrails that appeared in the skies. Many thanks to this person for permission to use the image.

Chemtrail News: Images, Orbs, LRAPA, and PDFs

I've been exchanging emails with some others in the Eugene area who also saw the weird chemtrail activity yesterday. (someone I've been in contact with has taken a photo of the chemtrail loop; if he gives me permission I'll post it later.) The heavy activity set off her asthma symptoms (as with me) and so she called LRAPA, or Lane Regional Air Protection Agency.

LRAPA's response was interesting. First, the caller was treated like she was nuts. I've had this response from them in the past whenever I've called, regardless of whether the reason was chemtrail activity or field burning. The agency appears to be programmed to respond to complaints in such a manner. When this caller pressed the person at the agency, the staff member first denied that there was anything such as chemtrails.

The agency actually called her back with the following "explanations:" the chemtrail activity was caused by heavy air traffic, specifically, planes going to and from San Francisco. Contrails, in other words. When that didn't work, the woman then offered the "ice crystals" explanation. That didn't work either. LRAPA said their monitors weren't picking up anything "toxic", and then offered the explantion that the Air Force was going through "drills." (This was the excuse given a few years ago by the local media when huge circles were seen in Eugene skies.)

Now why would the Lane Regional Air have readily available these ridiculous explanations for something that, according to them, doesn't exist in the first place? And why, if the white orb like machines I've seen in the skies -- and that have been photographed by many across the U.S. -- don't belong to local monitoring agencies like LRAPA, who do they belong to? They're monitoring something, what is it? And why don't agencies like LRAPA know about it? (We assume they don't know about it; possible they do and they just take a record of calls to see who's paying attention out here.)

At the LRAPA site is a pdf: Monitoring and Data Analysis Section 2009 Ambient Air Monitoring Network Plan which is boring and no one wants to read that 16 page technical stuff. However, it's useful and so I'm making myself read it. More on this later, since I've just started, but what LRAPA does is monitor (they say) for a few specific things:
Carbon Monoxide
Lead
Nitrogen Dioxide
Particulate Matter (PM-10, and PM-2.5)
Ozone
Sulfur Dioxide
Technical stuff but I will read it and post more about this. I've skimmed the document and it appears they only test for certain things, it's extremely expensive to test for all kinds of things, they acknowledge "metals" in the air but don't test for that -- I think. As I say technical stuff and this kind of thing is new territory for me.


Moving on, today was more chemtrail activity but not as heavy or strange. About 1:00 p.m. I noticed a very fast moving, white (bright white) object coming from the north going south. At first I thought it was a seagull even though it was high up; birds do fly that high up but still, a bit odd. I was watching it but it never varied at all; I would have seen, eventually, that it was a bird, but no wings, no colors, no variation in flight pattern (up and down, etc.) No way was this anything other than a machine of some kind. It was round and looked to be slightly elongated, maybe oval.

I watched it, all the while it maintained its bright white color, and then it looked as if it turned black for a second, then just gone. There were no clouds or anything at all in the area; sky where it was was clear. Just, gone!

About two minutes later, I see another one of these things, coming again from the North, only it moved west. This time the object was lower, and a bit slower. I didn't see it go black or disappear, I lost sight of it.

Last spring I saw one of these at the same location. Very high up in the air, higher even than the one I saw the first time today. It didn't blink out or turn black, I watched it for as long as I could but then had to leave the area.

Drones? Weather monitoring device possibly, or something to do with chemtrails, I'd say.

And here is a picture of loops or circles taken in Reedsport, Oregon (about 100 miles south west of Eugene) -- the post is dated May 27th but unclear if it was posted today, or taken today. Very similar to what was seen in Eugene.

Chemtrails A-Go-Go Redux

I wish to hell I had my camera with me today, but I was at work and not possible. I'm going to start bringing one with me and go out there on my lunch break on days like this ....

Yesterday, there were trails, and I said to myself "The sky is moving" (well, duh, of course it does) but there was a huge "spliffer" as we call them up there, a bit low, and it was just the way the wind was moving, was moving the entire trail. Not blowing bits of it here and there or blowing it away -- just moving it. Eerie effect.

Today though, wowza! The sky was covered in trails; big X's, checkerboard or squares, and loops. Circles. And, just to top things off, an oily square patch of rainbow colored something or another. The rainbow colored patch was barely visible with the naked eye, but I could see it very well through my huge dorky yellow non-glare sunglasses that fit over my prescription pair. I've seen that before a couple of times; one being about eight years ago; there was a huge rectangular oily rainbow patch in the sky; it was so weird people actually were stopping and looking at it. For some reason, there were also a lot of helicopters out that day and just general sky-weirdness.

I took a few images with the digital this evening (shown here) but they're nothing big; just a few lonely trails still being made up there. The haze is here and you can see remnants of the earlier activity.

Chemtrials A-Go-Go

On the drive back from McMinnville -- we were there for the 10th Annual UFO Festival -- to Eugene, we saw a lot of chemtrails. I wished we had the digital out (not too intelligently, it was in the trunk.) Some strange ones too; two that bent down, like an elbow, to the ground, and a third one joined them as I was watching.

Today in Eugene, the sky was full of chemtrials. There was a "chem bow" -- an ugly brownish yellowish ring around the sun. I was at work and couldn't very well just start taking pictures. I did notice however that some people looked up, just staring for a few moments (many of these were children) at the sky. I overheard a few say there was a "rainbow" in the sky.

Looking up, I noticed once again, how damn high up these white planes are. Sometimes they're so high up they're almost invisible.

Below are some snaps I took of chemtrails a couple of years ago in Eugene.
