Just got a vid through whatsapp/telegram with a chap (lets call him Steve) doing a rant talking about him passing through the M25 and seeing lots of birds dying and dead around Kent. He's claiming theres a link between 5G having been turned on etc etc...

Then a quick search brought this page up as an example https://strangesounds.org/2020/02/hundr ... video.html for similar things seen around the Catalonia highways...

Anyone got any thoughts or seen/heard/read anything similar...

Dunno, but sounds like everythings not as clearcut!

What I find curious about the "wireless energy/radiation" scare along with the "power lines causing cancer/migraines/etc" is that it's mainly in the UK and US. Strange that microwave ovens don't cause the same problems despite being in the same spectrum.

I'll get my (tin foil) coat.

Given that it's all in the same electromagnetic spectrum, I'm surprised these tin foil hat wearing, conspiracy theorists don't have a problem with the sun...

Ha ha ha, you do know April 1st isn't until next week?. The Catalan road in question runs about 100m from a vast petrochemicals site which has ethylene crackers owned by Repsol, BASF, Exxon etc, we go that way to the builder's merchant and there's times when the smell is pretty pungent. There was an explosion there a few weeks ago which killed 2 and blew windows out in a 5km radius. I'm no expert,( in fact I am having spent most of my working life in such plants) but I'd guess that's the cause.
I used to carry several passes that allowed me access to Grangemouth, Wilton, Carrington and Runcorn chemical sites having sat through the safety inductions. I was once chatting to one of the managers and asked him what was his most useful bit of PPE, his reply was a pair of trainers for if this place goes up, the only protection is to run like fcuk.

Thanks for this :-bd

I always try to keep an open mind (especially since the previous times of world crisis I always saw the BS they was feeding us) so thought to put it out there :smile:... sorry. I'm also not seeing the situation on the ground (like the places I'm going to work are totally dead where they should have had at least 50 percent bed occupancy) that we keep expecting hence... anyway. Hey ho and I'll put up my next item up for grabs for the needy this eve (something I know for certain)

There's a big difference between "keeping an open mind" and entertaining batshit crazy stuff like this for more than a couple of seconds.

I spoke to a guy recently who was adamant he could feel ‘the energy’ when satellites passed over and it gave him migraine. He was stuck for an answer how he coped with living under geostationary and refused to reconsider when I popped up a live map showing we are permanently under many tens/hundreds of satellites. All this global lockdown is just going to see more of this stuff.

It's not 5G, the dead birds due to the CORVID-19 virus.
