Another day in paradise...
Imagine and think about this situation
The sun is shining – you are walking down the beach - you can breathe the freedom – listening to the ocean - the waves and the sea gulls – take a deep breath - fantastic ☺
And now, imagine the same wonderful beach
with 80 beached whales! Hundreds of people, trying to rescue them, keeping them wet to protect them from drying up, pulling and pushing them centimeter by centimeter back to the deeper water, finally managing to rescue a few, but losing most of them to death.
Worldwide headline: „Again, whales beached without a reason and died!"
„Beached whales - One bad reason is known for years, already!“
But Nobody Is Promoting This Worldwide!
All started with a school of beaked whales,
has been studied successful by american marine biologist Ken Balcomb for many years, near the bahamas. A scientific sensation!
On March 15th, 2000
members of Balcomb´s whale school, a few dolphins and a minke whale beached near the bahamas - after a NATO-maneuver! Other school members just disappeared.
(maybe sank dead to the sea bottom)
The same day, Balcomb anatomized his whales
(who were still laying on the beach) and found:
- whales´s aural system bloody, caused by bad injuries of their inner ears!
- bursted tissues of the inner ears left the whales drifting stunned and unoriented
- bursted somatic cells: caused lipocytes got into the bloodstream
- next: blood flow was blocked - result: adipoid embolism
- with lots of pain the whales beached dying or were dead already!
Injuries of this dimension, could have been caused by extrem loud noise only. Such a noise is generated by the "acoustic sonar" of the NATO-warships! Death of beached whales has a name – SURTASS LFA!
Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System (SURTASS) Low Frequency Active (LFA) system
The insertion of LFA to the marine world
caused massive whale beachings worldwide. LFA sonar must transmit high intensity sound in order to detect submarines at long range. LFA sonar uses sound levels similar to the mid-frequency tactical sonars, which have been used worldwide for over 50 years.
After many whale beachings have been clearly assinged to the NATO and the use of LFA in 2000, the NATO declared, that the LFA kills marine mammals, in 2001 for the very first time.
Since then, f.e. the Navy and its sonar experiments were taken to court a few times by american conservationist. Sometimes successfully! US courts regularly reduce the scale of sonar operations. But mostly only for US territories and not in case of war!
Natural reasons for beaching
2004 - quake - magnitude of 9.0 Natural low frequency sound generators
- All elephants went upcountry at an early stage - seaquakes, undersea volcano eruptions
- No marine mammals were found beached - marine landslides, lightning strikes
Quakes come along with earlier seismic surface vibrations of 10 – 20 Hz
- Noiseless for humans, but animals, such as elefants or whales can hear these
sounds and detect them as an indication for upcoming quakes. They have a
body´s early warning system for natural catastrophes
Findings of earlier beaching´s anatomized whales
- gas bubbles were found in the blood of beached whales
Case1 Case2
- LFA sonar hits the whale with 230 decibel - seaquake appears too fast
(starting jet engine 150 db) - marine mammals have no chance to escape!
- whale is upset and afraid! - ambient pressure changes very fast
- tries to reach the water surface asap, - several decompressions kill them!
without taking care of the pressurization
- therefore gas is soluted out of the blood and
let explode liver, heart and brain!
- divers know it very well! Decompression sickness!
Beachings peaks in a 10-year cycle Old or sick whales
- linked to climate changes in the oceans - decreasing power resort them to flat coastal areas
- increase the prey field near the shore - continual swimming needless
- forcing whales closer to shore - animal rights activist try to rescue them
- increasing the probability of beaching - pull the whale into deep water - a torture
(Karen Evans, marine researcher) - they want to die! No help possible!
- organs will crush by their own body weight
Social Nature High Frequented Beaching areas
- many whale species often swim in large pods - the whales pass Australia and New Zealand
- social bonds between them are incredibly strong migrating to or from Antarctica
- one marine mammal in trouble will be followed by others - beachings are very common there
- that leads to beachings
Undersea acoustic environment
Noisier due to human activities Loud sounds - accidental, the byproduct of
- loud noise causes harmful effects on - shipping, oil drilling and production (air guns, sparkers)
terrestrial animals, including humans - operations of undersea machinery
- animals/humans become stressed/sick - use of LFA - warship sonar
- for marine mammals: - Acoustic Tomography of the Oceans (ATOC)
sick animals will probably beach! can be heard over thousands of miles
Who´s going to rescue marine mammals is fighting a neverending story
- as long as the oceans are as noisy as they are, now
- as long as marine warships and other industries generate killing sound smog!
Humans minimize noise output wherever they can: trucks, cars, motorcycles, planes, helicopters, highways, industry machineries. Global under water sound reduction is necessary! Otherwise we rescue marine mammals in one ocean and lose them in another.
But still no explanation in the news!
This is global dissembling!
One more thing - f.e. the NAVY
tests to determine hull vulnerabilities
done on every new class of combat vessel for years
number of explosions has been reduced
tests still include several detonations of 10,000 pound explosive charges
What about all the other countries and its marine forces???

Worldwide dying of bees stops the circle of nature?
Where does our food come from?
Supermarket? – No... nice try! Wrong answer!
Most of the primary food products are coming from agriculture and agriculture has one big friend: the little honey bee! Besides the production of honey, bees are nature´s most effective instrument of pollination. Of course there are also other insects (f.e. butterfly) or the wind, but honey bees are the best variable doing this job.
Pollination is a necessary
step in the reproduction of flowering plants, resulting in the production of offspring, that are genetically diverse. It is the process, when collecting nectar, bees carry tiny grains of pollen from one flowering plant to another.
Bees, the hardworking essential link
in the food production chain, have suddenly become the weakest link, cause they are disapearing – more and more! The past 40 years beehives f.e. in the USA were shrinking from 1966 - 4,6 millions to 2006 - 2,4 millions.
What´s going on?
Example 1: Mixture of habitats! There were three species of asian bees!
- Apis cerana - natural host of the Varroa mite,
- Apis dorsata - natural host of the Tropilaelaps mite
- Pygmy Bee - natural host of the Euvarroa mite
For hundreds of years, none of these mites ever jumped on another bee species. This happened through the human influence and the mixture of their habitats. Same happened to the Inkas, when the diseases of the portuguese conquerors killed most of them. Species of one habitat transferred in another is mostly causing problems!
Example 2: CCD in the USA - “Colony Collapse Disorder“
The apparently causeless collapse of a healthy beehive. No dead bees will be found in the near natural surroundings or in the beehive itself! The unoriented adult bees simply don´t return from their foraging and die. As a result no adults left to feed the larvas and pupas. There are no previous symptoms! The CCD just kills an infected beehive within a few weeks. 2006/2007, american bee keepers lost 25 % - 40 % of their bee population.
What's causing healthy hives to go dead?
The United States began allowing importation of bees from Australia in 2004, which coincides with early reports of CCD. In September 2007, a 3 years scientific research of the Pennsylvania State University didn´t identify IAPV as the cause of CCD, but the “Israeli Acute Paralysis Virus (IAPV)“, a dicistrovirus, that can be transmitted by the varroa mite, was found in 96.1 % of their CCD-bee samples (USA, Australia, China/gelée royale samples) from honey bee colonies „with“ CCD, but „not“ in non-CCD colonies!
So, no cause-and-effect connection can be inferred from these genetic screening data, but it was found a strong correlation of the appearance of IAPV and CCD together.
A bigger part of the australian bee polpulation is infected with IAPV, but no mass mortality or CCD appeared in Australia. Maybe the american habitat activated the CCD. Also, the varroa mite is not occuring in australia,
but in the USA, where it is most responsible for infecting bees with diseases (like mosquitos the malaria).
Found in bees at the same time: up to 40 chemical residues, strong virus contamination
- up to 7 different types of viruses and massive organic changes, as possible signs of stress.
The main reason for the worldwide CCD
still isn´t found, yet! The most reasonable explanation is an immune deficiency, caused by pesticides and stresses and strains followed by all known bee diseases and parasites!
Case 3: In may, 2008 Rheintal/Germany a case of local CCD has been caused clearly to a pesticide called Clothianidin (developed by Takeda Chemical Industries and Bayer AG). It belongs to the group of the Neonicotinoids, worldwide used in more than 120 countries – annual sales - 500 million Euros.
Is this the Future ! ? !
The bees will die off, as a result of the agricultural ongoing use of chemical pesticides! Caused by greed and profit, humans are mainly responsible for the actual situation on their own! Worldwide im- and export has mixed up too many bee species of different habitats and the pesticides are doing the rest!
Scientists have to find an answer: IAPV was initially identified in honey bee colonies in Israel in 2002. Today, a third of the reviewed israelian bee popultion is resistant of IAPV, cause the virus genome is part of their own genome. That gives them transactional immunity. Breeding an IAPV-resistant bee species could be the solution, but maybe cause other new problems again.

Born Free! Elsa, we´ll never forget you!
Elsa´s story is so wonderful
and shows, that love can move any mountain! Animals are "not" our enemies!
They deserve our deepest respect!
Please watch the video to understand - Thank you
The lioness Elsa was the lovely exception
to the rule about wild animals as pets! Friendship between a human and an animal in perfection! In 1956, kenyan game warden George Adamson found three new-born female lion cubs, after killing their parents, a man-eater lion and his lioness. The three cubs were adopted by the Adamsons and grew up in Adamson´s house for six months, before two of them had to be sold to the Rotterdam Zoo.
Little Elsa was Joy´s favorite
and stayed by the Adamson´s side for two years. During that time an unforgettable relationship arised from living together! By the age of 2, Elsa was prepared for wildlife. She had fatal problems in hunting animals, but finally made it right. in 1958, close after her final release to the wilderness, Elsa returned and presented her own 3 cubs.
Joy Adamson documented and portrayed all
these things in her 3 books 'Born Free'/1960, 'Living Free'/1962 and 'Forever Free'/1978.
That was the basis for 2 wonderful BBC movies - 'Born Free' - 1965 & 'Living Free' – 1972 - and a tv series. Almost the whole profit was donated to the animal fund of 'Elsa Wild Animal Appeal' established by Joy and George Adamson, in 1963. Now it is named 'The Elsa Conservation Trust'.
Millions of dollars were donated
during the last forty years, for the trust and its work of wild life education and conservation projects. The trust was helping to create the famous Kenyan parks and reserves at Meru, Samburu, Shaba, Kora and Hell's Gate and also a Field Study Centre at Elsamere.
Joy & George Adamson
married in 1944 in Nairobi till death, but separated living from 1970. George was a naturalist and kenyan
game warden. Joy was a naturalist, authoress and paintress. 1949 - Joy was asked by the kenyan
government to portray 20 native tribes.

Water - What time is it?
What do you know about water?
A lot ! ? ! Easy to answer ! ? !
Planet Earth Potable Water Human Body
- 71 % covered with water - municipal water systems - consisting of 55% - 78% water
- 97 % saltwater oceans - bottled water depending on body size
- 2.4% surface water, - spring water sources - requires 1 - 7 liters of potable water
glaciers and polar ice caps - rivers per day to avoid dehydration
- 0.6% rivers, lakes and ponds - wells
- All forms of life depend on water! - rain
World´s Situation
- Over a billion people don´t have access to safe water or good sanitation. They routinely drink unhealthy water
- WHO estimates - safe water could prevent 1.4 million child deaths from diarrhea each year
- Waterborne diseases and missing sanitation are one of the leading causes of death worldwide
- For children under age five, waterborne diseases are the leading cause of death
- Fruits, vegetables, meat and fish are burdened with pesticides and antibiotics
Now, what is the secret knowledge?
It is the water itself!
Potable water is contaminated with hormones and pharmaceutical residues. It affects humans and animals, who need to drink potable water to survive every day and is responsible for decreasing number of male sperms and infertility?
2009 - EU-project „Food and Fecundity“
Scientists were testing 60 water samples for „ethinylestradiol“, a component of the „birth control pill“ - but nothing was found! So, the scientists tested a minor dose „ethinylestradiol“ in an animal model...
The Result: Reduced fertility and changed hormonal balance (for males and females)
Since years, scientists monitored fertility troubles and detrimental effects on reptiles, birds and marine mammals and today we know, the fertility of the human population is decreasing, also. So it is reasonable (not proved yet), that the hormone contaminated potable water is responsible for the decreasing number of male sperms and infertility.
And one fact is clear: Impurities affect fetuses and babies and little children,
much more than adults! That is proved!
Persons in charge act hesitating
Their Solution: Creation of study groups => positioning problems out of sight.
Legal Situation: Prescriptive limits for pesticides. Medical residues, no legal rules at all!
The Results: Country specific prescriptive controls of potable water. Only a few harmful substances and pharmaceutical residues are tested, but there are hundreds that should be considered.
Since 1994, water producing industry knows about medical residues (f.e. clofibric acid, component of the "birth control pill") in potable water, found out by german scientists accidently. Since then, no official statements, only rare hints in technical literature. This arcane knowledge is kept under the pledge of secrecy - secret from the ordinary folk!
Where does the contamination come from?Medical therapy of humans (pills, medical potions, etc.)
Antibiotics in animal husbandry, added to animal food to precautionary prevent diseases (forbidden in the EU since 2006! Only!)
Medical residues in their excrementals
Expired pharmaceuticals in the regular household garbage or toilet
All ends up in the wastewaterThis wastewater, purified in the water treatment plant is brought back into the cycle of potable water, but without being freed from pharmaceutical residues!
The Cycle of Water
Evapotranspiration - exchange of potable water via clouds worldwide.
Ozone - oxidizes pharmaceutical residues
and hormone similar substances - works up to a level of 98%
f.e. birth control pill (proved by german scientists in 2003)
Question: What about the missing 2 %?
Question: What about the countries, who are not able to pay the price for this method?
Question: What about the countries with bad or missing sanitation infrastructure or porous sewage systems? Most of this wastewater is not reaching a water treatment plant. So, it is getting unpurified in the rivers and oceans! Potable water - for lack of spring water - often mixed up with river´s bank filtration ...
Question: Caused by narrow ground-water occurrences - what about the countries, who water their fields with river or wastewater? Still contaminated with pharmaceutical residues. Their agricultural commodities end up pharmaceutical residue contaminated on their tables. Not to mention the trickled away water ended up in the groundwater and then in the potable water system again.
Conclusion
In the near future there will be an enormous potential cause for oil-related and water-related conflicts, f.e. the construction of dams would divert large amounts of water of several rivers away from several territories. For this reason, maybe there could be a new type of war on earth, again.
Isn´t it more important to assure, that the people will have access to „healthy water“ to ensure that there "will be" next generations, who can live on this planet? Otherwise live could fade away... silent... step by step caused by infertility ... ...Now, everybody, who is reading this, will say:
“No... that will never happen! Can´t be possible!“Every Soul Counts,
