Polar Bears in Alaska - Loss of hair and oozing sores. Seals and Walruses dying, all from "Mysterious Disease"

Since last summer, scientist say a radiation "Mysterious Disease" has been affecting the wild life ( Walruses and Seals), of Alaska. 

In July, Alaskan ringed seals began beaching themselves on the Arctic coastline, where they soon died. Worse yet: In subsequent months, their numbers have only increased. Puzzled biologists believe the phenomenon is being triggered by an unknown virus. "We’re kind of in the dark at this point," says Bruce Woods, a spokesman for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. What's going on? Here's what we do know:

As far as symptoms go, the animals are suffering from "bleeding lesions on [their] hind flippers, loss of fur, and skin irritation around the nose and eyes." How many seals has the disease claimed so far?At least 46 seals have died from the "mysterious" disease, says Stephen Messenger of Treehugger, and "150 others appear to be infected." But that's not all: Alex DeMarban of Alaska Dispatch says that the "bizarre, festering sores" are also showing up on local walruses, with scientists estimating that up to 600 of the tusked creatures may be infected. This is particularly troubling because the Pacific walrus population is only "100,000 strong" and is currently "being considered for protections under the Endangered Species Act."

Now polar bears are being to show symptoms of the "Mysterious Disease." 

The Polar bears are showing hair loss and oozing sores on their bodies.  They have not found any dead as of yet.  (Actual picture of one of the diseased Polar bears - it is not from the site linked)

Nine polar bears from the Beaufort Sea region near Barrow were found with patchy hair loss and oozing sores on their skin, similar to conditions found in diseased seals and walruses, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said on Friday.
Unlike the sickened seals and walruses, the affected polar bears seem otherwise healthy, said Tony DeGange, chief of the biology office for the USGS's Alaska Science Centre. He said there had been no deaths among polar bears.

But 60 Seals have been found dead (who knows how many in reality) due to this "Mysterious Disease" that started last summer.

Of course they say "It is not Fukushima radiation - we don't think."

Does anyone really believe that? Do they hide radiation symptoms in the animals?
But of course they do.  Just like the U.S. government has forbid and stopped anyone from measuring radiation of salmon from Alaska and Hillary Clinton made an agreement with Japan that the U.S. will not measure radiation from any food/fish or other products shipped in from Japan.  

A site - Progressive Alaska has found there is extremely high radiation in the ocean just 400 miles South of Alaska.

I just posted about how a Toyota plant may be the final disposal site for Fukushima radiated debris. 

Alaska about to launch a Nuclear Missile Minotaur IV rocket, used by the Air Force to deliver nuclear weapons. - but only has a military satellite on it?

A nuclear missile being launched out of Alaska in a few minutes, but has a military satellite on it.

live link to watch the missile take off at 7:49am Alaska time. 

well, this missile is the same type model that carries nuclear war heads.  But they are saying a satellite is going to come from it.  This is happening the same day there is a "mock" Def con 1 drill in Denver - missile out of Alaska and Def con 1 means "nuclear war imminent".  there has never been a Def Con 1 drill before in history.   Now..... why launch a real nuclear missile the same day?  

http://www.ktuu.com/news/ktuu-kodiak-rocket-satellite-launch-set-for-tuesday-20110926,0,4920932.story

the September launch calls for using a Minotaur IV rocket, used by the Air Force to deliver nuclear weapons.

things are just plain weird right now.  What is going on and what psych ops are they accomplishing right now?  

Including Denver Airspace being shut down for a period of time today. 

the satellite will provide American combat commanders around the globe with "an additional outlet for data transmission and communications on the move," the Navy says. In other words, the satellite could allow military forces to be coordinated without having to position and point on-the-ground antennas.

Here is the live stream of the missile launch

Update 12:42pm est - They are streaming the launch over and over again, for those who missed it. It launched without a problem.

Are you Frickin Kidding Me? Fed Govt and Alaskan State Govt. Say NO To Testing Fish for Radiation out of Alaska! "No Need they say"!

Between the Gulf of Mexico Oil Leak and all the dead sea animals washing up onshore this year from dolphins to Sea Turtles and the Federal Govt. refusing to allow independent scientist to even touch or investigate the deaths to now the radiation in the Pacific ...

Obama put a gag order on the reason for the deaths of the sea life in the Gulf of Mexico (as if we don't know what caused them - Duh BP!) 

As I have awakened to what really has been going on in the world I see more and more how the governments work for corporations and not for the people over and over again.

Another perfect example is the U.S. Federal Government and the Alaskan State Government are saying they will not test any fish from Alaska for radiation!  

Portion from article - about FDA refusing to test fish for radiation

(AP) ANCHORAGE, Alaska - North Pacific fish are so unlikely to be contaminated by radioactive material from the crippled nuclear plant in Japan that there’s no reason to test them, according to federal and state of Alaska health officials.

Dangerous levels of radiation have been reported off the coast from the Fukushima reactor complex. However, a spokeswoman for the federal Food and Drug Administration told the Anchorage Daily News that the ocean is so huge, and Alaska fisheries so far away, that there is no realistic threat.

Alaska’s food safety program manager, Ron Klein of the Department of Environmental Conservation, said the FDA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have demonstrated that Alaskans have no cause for worry.

"Based on the work they’re doing, no sampling or monitoring of our fish is necessary," he said.

NOAA fisheries spokeswoman Kate Naughton declined to answer questions and referred a reporter back to DeLancey and the EPA.

 I would like to know how they have demonstrated there is no need to test the seafood for radiation, what did they do exactly?  Did they just say "The ocean is so big, no worries"?  


I would like to know what Western Canadian government officials are doing and if they will test the seafood out of the Pacific in their waters?

What is going on with the Pacific Ocean? Giant Squids, and Now Pilchard Fish washing up Dead on Shores, Sea Otters Dying in Mass

The Pacific Ocean seems to have a lot going on right now, that is not good. Along the coast of California, into Canada many sea animals have been washing up dead in record numbers.

A few weeks ago, Giant Squid washed up in the San Diego area, right before a large quake in the Pacific.

Let me also clarify, I have kept an eye on Whale and Dolphin Beachings and then watch the quake map to see if there is correspondence to the beachings and earthquakes. I have found some correspondening events. There was a huge whale beaching earlier this year in Tasmania, then an unusual quake hit days later in Southern Australia, near Tasmania. The thing about whale beachings is, there are thousands of deserted islands throughout the Pacific and beachings are not found, unless it happens in a populated area.

Now there are reports out today of all kinds of beachings around California and Canada.

TOFINO — Nearly 1,000 pilchard and herring washed up on a Tofino beach Wednesday, just days after a similar phenomenon involving Humboldt squid.



Here is information regarding the Squid Only

Dozens of so-called jumbo squid have washed ashore along Vancouver Island beaches in recent weeks, although a local biologist believes their deaths were likely natural.


The Humboldt squid have been washing up in the Tofino area, on the west coast of the island.

Josie Osborne of the Raincoast Education Society says the squid were probably immature juvenile animals that may have been hunting before the water carried them to land.

"What likely happened is that they came closer to the water's surface during the night (when they hunt) as they were chasing their prey, and they may have encountered colder water or stronger currents and washed ashore on the beach," Osborne wrote in a mass email this week.

The species is native to the deep waters off Mexico, but have moved north as waters have warmed.
Osborne suggested the especially warm waters caused by the El Nino phenomenon brought the squid into Canadian waters.

"The presence of the squid and their prey is a reminder that we are experiencing an El Nino event this year — a climatic oscillation that occurs every three to eight years and which results in warmer waters off the west coast of Vancouver Island," wrote Osborne.
Osborne said there was a similar mass stranding in La Jolla, Calif., just three weeks ago.
Nikki Laine, who owns a bed and breakfast on Chesterman Beach near Tofino, was out walking with a friend when they came across 38 squid.

Laine said all but one appeared to be dead, and while the animals didn't smell, there were lots of flies about.
"I've never seen a squid around on any beach in 30 years," she said. "It was really sad. I sort of wondered why they washed up on the beach."


I have always been amazed, the experts always put out some reason right away, (they do the same with whale beachings) instead of looking deeper into the incidents. First, what is going on in the Pacific Ocean?

Sea Lions and Sea Otters are Dying in Mass right now along the California coast too. The reasoning, I have been reading is because so many were born last year. But it seems to me, nature takes care of it's own on a normal basis. Is their food supply dying off, causing them to die?

MONTEREY, CA (KGO) -- Sea otters along the California coast are dying faster than at any time since the late 1990s. It is disturbing new evidence of the threat ocean pollution is posing to marine wildlife.

We do know, for instance, that it is not reduced reproduction that is limiting population growth; we know that it is indeed elevated mortality," USGS wildlife biologist Tim Tinker said. Tinker has been studying the otter population since the early 1990's.
The spring census found just over 2,600 otters along 375 miles of coast; a nearly 4 percent drop from the year before.
Betty and Jack Duffield noticed the decline immediately. Every year they visit Moss Landing State Beach in the shadow of the old power plant. It is a little known spot where an extraordinary number of otters hang out. Tuesday, Betty counted just 26.

"When wildlife decreases there's a problem; it's very disturbing," Betty Duffield said

Researchers agree. They say the drop in the otter population is much more serious and much more significant than the problems seen this year with other marine mammals like sea lions.


Otters are often referred to as the cannery in the coal mine because they are an early indicator as to the overall health of the ocean.
Lab tests indicate the otters are dying primary from infectious disease, likely caused by manmade pollutants.

Record number of Sea Lions Washing up on Central Coast Shores

If you spend any time at the beach, you may have noticed a number of sea lions washing up on Central Coast shores.

Experts at the Marine Mammal Center in Morro Bay say they are seeing an unusual number of strandings this year.

Rehab centers for marine mammals are taking in almost three times the number of injured, sick and malnourished sea lions that they normally do.

It is estimated that just 20 percent of all newborn sea lions survive.
So far this year, 860 sea lions have been taken in for rehabilitation.

Their overpopulation and scarce food options could be to blame.



I have read how many have been dying and also seen on the highways in California.

Something is happening in the Pacific, including the new land which rose in Alaska last month - which just appeared almost overnight and there is still no explaination for. It was a large amount of land too.

Like a giant fist punching through the earth, a 1,000-foot long section of the beach below Bluff Point rose up 20 feet from the tidelands sometime last Friday or late Thursday, pushing boulders up from the ocean bottom, cracking sandstone slabs and toppling rocks upside down.

Below Bluff Point, a new fissure opened up at the base of the 800-foot high cliff. The uplift could be a re-activation of a landslide that happened perhaps 12,000 years ago.

"There was just beach before," said Ron Hess, who lives on Bluff Road above the new uplift. "Now there are tidal pools."

"You can see a rock circle," said Marilyn Hess. "All you used to see was one big rock, and now you can see this uplift of rock."

Scientists don't know exactly what caused the uplift. It would take an earthquake over magnitude 7 to cause an uplift that high, said Peter Haeussler, a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Anchorage.

"I have no idea," he said when he first learned of the uplift. "This sounds really, really bizarre."




There are so many different things going on in the Pacific of sea animals dying, land rising, and volcanoes erupting in record numbers this year around the ring of fire.

I wish scientist and geologist would look more closely at everything and start putting the dots together, instead of throwing out a reason immediately. There is more going on which needs to be looked at and watch what Earth events happen after beachings etc. If others can watch and start putting events together and see there is more of a reason of the sea animals committing suicide than just hunger or the other reasons they come up with.

It makes sense to me, that animals living in the ocean are affected by Earth movements under the ocean which can cause them harm or distress from the noise happening with the Earth and the sound traveling through the water.

Personally, I will be watching the undersea volcanoes (like Tonga) and for large Earthquakes in the very near future for possible links to the various animals beaching and dying along the coast today and the last few days.

The above sea animal deaths along the West Coast of the U.S and Canada - could be precursors to some large Earth events.

I will be keeping an eye on the U.S.G.S Earthquake map, to watch and see if something happens Earth wise, causing the animals to commit suicide.

I feel it is strange for all of these animal deaths happening close in time - without some kind of link connecting them, besides global warming and hunger.
