  The Tiger lifters have killed off over 50 percent of my bees now,and scores of birds also.
  
  All H viruses are sprayed on us from those lifters.
  
  Those Tigers come out of certain programs in the US and they number approximately 500.
  
  They spray all over the world from down low,(# to 5 hundred feet and normally you can not see them. The amount of frequency coming out of the transducers on those 5 man or 2 man plus spray canisters creates heating that,just as grid nodes create all of the cumulus clouds with the moisture available,the lifters have spray jets to make a cloud around themselves.
  
  The mistake they make,especially with a guy like me is that they run in formations and go against the cloud flow and stick out like sore thumbs.
  
  You folks put up with this destruction. I dont, I snitch,and there is alot more and they have not arrested me yet......
  
  Those boys inside those lifters are also not US citizens,they come in a lifter to this planet through Israel.
  
  Change that spray program to zero and flus ,bird and human will go away, bird flu is found after incubatin period after people sight those teams of five all over this planet,except for certain places.

  So it's been going for two years now and we still don't have an idea of why. The various hypotheses are interesting but not suficient to account for the relatively sudden increase in bee deaths, unless ... unless we factor in the weakening influence of electromagnetic signals that have been growing exponentially with mobile phone coverage, and that could very well make the bees (and birds) more susceptible to the other dangers that have been out there for years, such as the mites and pesticides and the poisons produced by BT-toxin producing GM plants.
