Yeah, seriously. Honey Bees are dieing en masse, possibly from a mysterious virus known as "Israeli acute paralysis virus" (from where it was first identified -- the bees appear to have been imported from Australia): Virus may be cause of US honeybee deaths:

The earliest reports of colony collapse disorder date to 2004, the same year the virus was first described by Israeli virologist Ilan Sela. That also was the year U.S. beekeepers began importing bees from Australia — a practice that had been banned by the Honeybee Act of 1922.

Now, Australia is being eyed as a potential source of the virus. That could turn out to be an ironic twist, since the Australian imports were meant to bolster, not further damage, U.S. bee populations devastated by another scourge, the varroa mite. Meanwhile, officials are discussing reinstating the ban, said the Agriculture Department's top bee scientist, Jeff Pettis.

Ah, but the word "Israel" is involved, so there must be something...more. An emailer sends in a breadcrumb trail of links... A post at Boston craigslist: A Gift To The World From israel (bee genetic virus)

U.S. Scientists have detected a new pathogen from israel that is spreading across the planet. They have dubbed it “israeli Acute Paralysis Virus.”

No, it does not refer to mankind’s unwillingness to move against Israel.

It refers to a rapidly spreading virus that has already wiped out a quarter of America’s honeybee population...

...QUESTION: is there any connection between the israeli virus and the Ness Ziona facility in israel that produces offensive biological weapons?

If so, would we ever find out about it?

(By the way, 'Ness Ziona' is Hebrew for “Banner / Flag / Standard of zion.”)

Gee, thanks for the info.

[Aside: Boston/Cambridge/Brookline craigslist seems to be a hotbed of Naziism: BillyJewKristol: whoever supports Israel, jews will make next Prez, PNAC:draft AmericanSlaves directly into Israeli Army]

It's all over: Houston craigslist: Do the Jews need to fess up and admit they were conducting experiments in germ warfare.... Dallas: ISRAELI GERM WARFARE VIRUS BLAMED FOR HONEY BEE DECLINE.

It all seems to trace back to White Supremacist/anti-Semite Hal Turner (he thought the Bali bombing was a nuke because...there was a mushroom cloud. I kid you not) and from him to a series of Nazi web sites and even a troofer gets in on the act.

It's a mad, mad (etc...) world.

I blogged about this the other day. No surprise on the turn the story has taken. Disappointing, but not surprising.

Maybe it's really Nahoul?

3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...

4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments.

Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.

It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."

"No Western intellectual thinks fascism and communism are the same, nor does anyone with a literary sensibility argue that a James Patterson thriller and a Don DeLillo novel are similar just because they are both prose fictions; yet this same intelligentsia is content to believe that all religions are fundamentally the same."
