STORY HIGHLIGHTS
* Warm waters off Peru have chased away fish, a national center studying El Nino says
* Fish flee south to deeper, cooler waters, leaving 5,000 Peruvian surface-feeding birds dead
* Chilean birds have apparently feasted on such fleeing fish, an environment professor says
* Many of the dead Chilean birds have injuries consistent with getting trapped in fishing nets
Dying pelicans in Peru have been blamed on warm waters.
Wildlife engineer Guillermo Boigorria, left, and regional prosecutor Lev Castro inspect sea bird in Peru, which along with Chile has seen a rash of water bird deaths.
(CNN) -- Chilean officials are asking fishermen to help save birds caught in nets after thousands of dead fowl appeared along coastal Chile this week.
At least 2,300 dead birds were found along beaches between Cartagena and Playa de Santo Domingo, Chile, said Jose Luis Britos, and environment professor and director of the Museum of Natural History of San Antonio, Chile.
Many of the birds, which come from several species, had broken wings and bruising on the outside of their bodies -- injuries consistent with getting trapped in fishing nets, Britos said.
He said bird deaths from fishing nets occur every year, but never at this level. In a typical year, about 15 to 20 dead birds are found, Britos said.
Mothers forced to sell their children: Mail reveals the distressing human toll of Greece's Euro meltdown

Effects of austerity: Juliana Tsivra with her mother Maria. Maria used to work in a bakery but lost her job more than a year ago
The economic crisis across Europe has perhaps been most keenly felt in Greece, where people have taken to the streets in violent and emotional protests against the austeriy measures imposed on the nation.
In this heartbreaking dispatch from the streets of Athens, SUE REID finds mothers who have been forced to sell their own children in the battle for survival.
Once a month, usually on a Saturday, Kasiani Papadopoulou packs a bag with children’s presents and takes the bus from her one-bedroom flat in a dusty suburb of Athens up into the cool hills outside the Greek capital that overlook the sea.
The 20-mile journey is an emotional one for her, but she would not stop making it for anything in the world.
A young widow of 30, she travels to see her two daughters and son — aged 14, 13 and 12. Kasiani was forced to give them away a year ago when her money ran out and she was unable to pay for their food, her rent or send them to school with shoes or books.
This is how bad the economy crisis is in Greece, which you won't find in most mainstream media. This is not including pensioners who committed suicide by shooting themselves in front of the parliament, as a protest...
Parts of Japan's Mount Fuji in danger of collapse after new fault line discovered
Posted: May 11, 2012 4:06 PM Updated: May 11, 2012 4:06 PM

GOTENBA, Japan -- Parts of Japan's Mount Fuji could collapse if a newly-discovered fault line under the mountain shifts, a government report warned Friday.
A three-year study by seismologists discovered a previously-unknown active fault under the mountain, a Japanese national symbol and key tourist attraction located 60 miles (100km) west of Tokyo.
Yashuhiro Yoshida, director for earthquake investigation at the science ministry, said, "It's possible that [parts of] the mountain could collapse with mudslides flowing to Gotenba."
A team of researchers, led by academics from the University of Tokyo, fired simulated seismic waves at the mountain, which revealed a fault that was theoretically capable of generating an earthquake of up to magnitude seven.
The researchers said they believed the fault moved some time in the last million years, although it was not clear when.
Yoshida said local geography showed that Mount Fuji experienced major mudslides nearly 3,000 years ago but that more studies were required to determine how the fault could affect potential volcanic activity.
The area around the mountain, an almost-perfect volcanic cone that is much admired for its beauty, is known for having frequent earthquakes and numerous fault lines, even for quake-prone Japan.
Japan has been on heightened alert for possible quakes and other natural hazards since the 9.0 magnitude quake and the tsunami of March 2011 killed 19,000 people and sparked a nuclear emergency at a Fukushima nuclear complex.
Northern region of Pella declared ‘locust-plagued’
Saturday May 12, 2012
Authorities in Pella, northern Greece, on Thursday declared the region officially “locust-plagued” following reports from across the area that swarms of the insects have descended on farmland, devouring large tracts of crops on which local residents depend for their livelihoods.
The authorities sounded the alert following an emergency meeting with representatives of health services regarding the best methods for effectively exterminating the pests without provoking any undesirable side effects.
The worst affected areas are reportedly near several villages around Giannitsa, including Aravissos, Mandalo, Kali and Plagiari as well as the western section of the prefecture, in the areas of Rizo, Loutrohori and Sevastiana.
The regional official responsible for quality checks on crops, Giorgos Gaitanis, indicated in an interview with Kathimerini that the situation was still manageable. “It is not yet a huge problem and we are trying to ensure that we keep it under control,” Gaitanis said, noting that the concentration of locusts was denser at the foot of hills than in local orchards.
The official called on locals to report instances of large concentrations of locusts to the relevant department of their municipality so that immediate action can be taken to exterminate the insects and stop them from spreading over ever-larger tracts of land.
Gaitanis said pesticide spraying should be carried out in the morning, when locusts are generally not so active and when bees are usually not in flight and so would not be subjected to the chemicals too.
The unseasonably dry weather in recent weeks is believed to have contributed to the spread of the insects.
Locusts have also descended in large numbers on the northern Aegean island of Aghios Efstratios. Experts recommend that environmentally friendly products be used on the island, which is a protected area in the European Union’s Natura program.
Worst flooding in regions of Peru seen in 20 years causes outbreak of Leptospirosis
Posted on May 11, 2012 by The Extinction Protocol
May 11, 2012 – PERU - Flooding has caused an outbreak of leptospirosis in Peru, especially in the Loreto region. This is the worst flooding seen in this area for over 20 years. Peru has reported more than 300 cases and 3 deaths associated with leptospirosis thus far in 2012. Health authorities have alerted people to take precautions against the infection. Though recognised among the world’s most common diseases transmitted to people from animals, leptospirosis is nonetheless a relatively rare bacterial infection in humans. The infection is commonly transmitted to humans by allowing water that has been contaminated by animal urine to come in contact with unhealed breaks in the skin, the eyes, or with the mucous membranes. Outside of tropical areas, leptospirosis cases have a relatively distinct seasonality with most of them occurring in spring and autumn.
Leptospiral infection in humans causes a range of symptoms, and some infected persons may have no symptoms at all. Leptospirosis is a biphasic disease that begins with flu-like symptoms (fever, chills, myalgias, intense headache). The first phase resolves, and the patient is briefly asymptomatic until the second phase begins. This is characterized by meningitis, liver damage (causing jaundice), and renal failure. The infection is often wrongly diagnosed due to the wide range of symptoms. This leads to a lower registered number of cases than exists. Symptoms of leptospirosis include high fever, severe headache, chills, muscle aches, and vomiting, and may include jaundice, red eyes, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and rash. Initial presentation may resemble pneumonia. The symptoms in humans appear after a 4–14 day incubation period.
New Planet Found in Our Solar System?
Odd orbits of remote objects hint at unseen world, new calculations suggest.

An as yet undiscovered planet might be orbiting at the dark fringes of the solar system, according to new research.
Too far out to be easily spotted by telescopes, the potential unseen planet appears to be making its presence felt by disturbing the orbits of so-called Kuiper belt objects, said Rodney Gomes, an astronomer at the National Observatory of Brazil in Rio de Janeiro.
Kuiper belt objects are small icy bodies—including some dwarf planets—that lie beyond the orbit of Neptune.
Once considered the ninth planet in our system, the dwarf planet Pluto, for example, is one of the largest Kuiper belt objects, at about 1,400 miles (2,300 kilometers) wide. Dozens of the other objects are hundreds of miles across, and more are being discovered every year.

New study: Rogue planet may be lurking beyond Neptune — Nibiru?
By JohnThomas Didymus
May 15, 2012 - 20 hours ago in Science
Rio De Janeiro - A Brazilian astronomer at the National Observatory of Brazil in Rio de Janeiro, Rodney Gomes, has announced that there may be an undiscovered rogue planet lurking in the shadow of Neptune. Planet Nibiru watchers say the planet is Nibiru.
According to Gomes, presenting his findings Tuesday at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Timberline Lodge, Oregon, calculations show that about half a dozen Kuiper Belt objects are in strange orbits, that is, they are orbiting not where they are supposed to be, according to existing models of our solar system.

Greeks Rush the Banks; Lines Form at ATMs; Nearly $1 Billion Withdrawn in Past Week
Mac Slavo
Wednesday, May 16, 2012
Without a government for the last eleven days, and amid mainstream discussion of a Euro Zone exit, the Greek people are realizing that the economic and political system as they know it is rapidly descending into chaos.
With massive jobless rates that have forced many into bartering to survive, and facing credit destruction across the entirety of the country that has led to shortages of critical supplies like life saving medicines, those with any money left at national banks are taking the desperate step of withdrawing as much of their savings as they can from a banking system on its last leg.
This is what it looks like when a populace plagued with uncertainty finally loses trust in the credibility of their country’s leadership and financial system.
Anxious Greeks have withdrawn as much as 700 million euros ($893 million) from the nation’s banks since the inconclusive May 6 election, President Karolos Papoulias told party leaders yesterday, according to a transcript of the meeting posted on the presidency’s website today. Papoulias said he got the information from the head of the Bank of Greece, the central bank, George Provopoulos, according to the transcript.
Via Zero Hedge
Greeks line up at ATM’s across the country to withdraw cash:
As has been said before, Greece is the canary in the coal mine.
The debt has piled up across Europe and the United States. Like the Greeks, Americans will soon hit a breaking point from which there will be no return. When it does finally happen you can be assured that your local ATM’s and banks will be inundated with panicked depositors attempting to take possession of as much of their money as possible.
But once the lines start forming it will be too late. Banks will have no choice but to limit withdrawals and close their doors (even to safe deposit box owners), because they will not have enough cash on hand to meet demand.
The choice is simple: Either prepare now and have physical assets in your possession, or join the crowds and hope the government will come up with a solution to the massive outflows that will ensue when the bank run begins.
Considering the madness we’ve seen when people can’t get their hands on a Black Friday discounted Xbox or flat screen TV, our guess is that any solution the government puts forth to deal with the anger and frustration of people who can’t access their money will involve something like this:

Thanks for the post. Yes, actually the stock market for major countries have been going down these past weeks. China & Australia, just to name 2 of them (no need to mention Europe). Below is another hint from JP Morgan.
JPMorgan’s Trading Loss Is Said to Rise at Least 50%
By NELSON D. SCHWARTZ and JESSICA SILVER-GREENBERG
JPMorgan Chase, center, in London, where the losing trades were initiated. The Federal Reserve is examining the scope of the accelerating losses.
The trading losses suffered by JPMorgan Chase have surged in recent days, surpassing the bank’s initial $2 billion estimate by at least $1 billion, according to people with knowledge of the losses.
When Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan’s chief executive, announced the losses last Thursday, he indicated they could double within the next few quarters. But that process has been compressed into four trading days as hedge funds and other investors take advantage of JPMorgan’s distress, fueling faster deterioration in the underlying credit market positions held by the bank.
A spokeswoman for the bank declined to comment, although Mr. Dimon has said the total paper trading losses will be volatile depending on day-to-day market fluctuations.
Remember the Lehman's bankruptcy and the hidden $138 billion bailout of JP Morgan few years back? I doubt the USA government will be able to bail-out JP Morgan for the 2nd time. Last time it was about 87 billion, repaid by the Fed. This time, with Euro going down, USA is getting a hit. A BIG HIT. And when USA get hits, it ripples all over the world. Those who have enough money now to be prepared, I am advising you, BE PREPARED. Wallahua'lam...
Customers of troubled Spanish bank Bankia, nationalized last week, have taken out over 1 billion euros ($1.3 billion) from their accounts over the past week, El Mundo newspaper reported on Thursday.
The newly appointed chairman, Jose Ignacio Goirigolzarri, informed a board meeting that customers had pulled out funds since the bank was taken over by the government, El Mundo said, citing information from the board meeting it had seen.
Разработан закон об ограничении оборота наличных денег
Рабочая группа при Министерстве финансов разработала законопроект, запрещающий компаниям выплачивать зарплату наличными деньгами и заставляющий магазины принимать банковские карты. Ведомство намерено начать кампанию против наличных денег, доля которых в обороте в России намного больше, чем в развитых странах. За счет этого планируется снизить уровень преступности и увеличить собираемость налогов.
Начать борьбу с наличностью в России призвал глава Сбербанка Герман Греф еще в середине 2011 года. В письме тогда еще премьер-министру Владимиру Путину он заявил, что медленное развитие системы безналичных платежей тормозит экономический рост. По его словам, страна теряет из-за больших объемов наличности около одного процента ВВП в год.
The Ministery of Finances are looking into transferring most of the cash money flow in Russia over to plastic cards and harshly regulating the amount of free currency in circulation. Each shop and money transfer point (Car Dealers, Markets, etc would need an ATM at least)
The article is in Russian, but I have not found any English source citing the same. I decided in our times of confusion and uncertainty that this is a troubling sign. I am not a big supporter of conspiracy theories, but my everyday life as a Russian Citizen would be greatly hindered by this proposal.
Not to mention the chaos in smaller enterprises and in an event of power failure. One would not be able to buy, or sell anything legally and easily without that card. You wouldn't even get your usual salary in cash with a side dish of the usual workplace kickback.
Penggunaan KAD secara meluas, sudah lama dijangkakan akan berlaku. Ini pernah disebutkan sebagai salah satu perancangan rapi yg ada dlm pemerintahan New World Order (NWO). Akan sampai suatu masa, mungkin semua orang akan WAJIB menggunakan kad, kerana wang kertas akan dimansuhkan. Wallahua'lam...
Debt crisis: Greek euro exit looms closer as banks crumble
A tsunami of capital flight from Greece threatens to overwhelm the authorities, forcing the country out of the euro before fresh elections in June.

Economists warned that the Greek financial system could crumble within weeks or days unless the European Central Bank steps up support.
President Karolos Papoulias told party leaders that banks had lost €700m in withdrawals on Monday alone as citizens rush to pre-empt capital controls and a much-feared return to the Drachma.
He cited central bank warnings that "great fear" might soon escalate to panic. The leaked details lend credence to claims that capital flight by both savers and firms have reached €4bn a week since the triumph of anti-bailout parties on May 6.
Steen Jakobsen from Saxo Bank said outflows are becoming unstoppable, not helped by open talk in EU circles of `technical’ plans for Greek withdrawal.
"This has a self-fulfilling prophecy built into it and I don’t think we can get to June. The fuse is burning and the only two options now are a controlled explosion where Germany steps in to ensure an orderly exit, or an uncontrolled explosion," he said.
