60+ Starlings Die Within Minutes and Inches of Each Other on Ft Knox (Vanity)
Self | 20 Jan 05 | SLB

Posted on 01/20/2005 7:14:55 PM PST by SLB

At noon today the MP's had a section of Wilson Road blocked off. It was later announced that 60+ Starlings had all died near the old Anderson Golf Course. The birds were all in a very small area. The post MEDCOM did not find any evidence of toxins, but . . . . . . . .

Lets see, yesterdays low temp in the area: 22 °F / -5 °C, in light freezing rain. Starlings roost in flocks (yes all together) and in that part of the country might not be prepared for that temperature.

Shucks... Have to put the tin-foil hat away....

Maybe the military got the power setting wrong on the Rovian Telepathic Disenfranchiser™ that broadcasts only to Democrat elections supervisors in battleground states.

Did the MPs have a mobile radar station set up? That'll do it, at close range.

Mobile radar for what - inbound ICBM's - ?

That would certainly do it.

Radar for vehicle traffic - ? I doubt it.

Rational possibility first: Starlings eat as a colony.
Starlings will chase off desirable fowl.
Starlings are considered pests.
It is possible someone poisoned the colony.


Now for the irrational one: It's the Andromeda strain!
We're all dead!
The MP's infected the birds and were there as crowd control to keep the truth from leaking out!

My Dad used to bait them in and let me blaze away at them with a BB gun. Amazingly some idiot DELIBERATELY introduced them to North America.

Nice to talk about someting other than the glitz in DC. Although the balls are nice to watch on TV. "W" and Laura are a real class act, expecially the dance the with young lady "soldier" and Marine.

Yipes! I remember 10s of 1000s of those dang things in the trees up and down 5th Avenue, when I lived there ~30 years ago. We would have welcomed a bunch of them keeling over.

Deliberately introduced them...

Probably the same moron who introduced Kudzu, the Water Lilly, Fire Ants, the Sea Lamprey, Zebra Mussels, etc etc etc.

Dang things won't speak English either. Bet they simply want to ruin our way of life. We'd better'd put a fence around our border like the Israelis are doing.

They were killed off somewhere else and planted there to make it seem like there is still physical gold in Ft Knox...the same reason they maintain a military presence there..

There hasn't been real gold in Ft Knox for many years...as the Saudis propped up our bond and stock market only with the promise that when it came time to get their money out of the market they would not get stuck with fiat...and would be paid in physical gold.. ;)
