Hybrid Grass Produces Cyanide Gas, Kills Herd of Cattle
June 24th, 2012The article states that Tifton 85 is a genetically modified grass, but it’s actually a hybrid:
Tifton 85 is the best of many F1 hybrids between PI 290884 from South Africa and Tifton 68, a highly digestible but cold susceptible hybrid that was released in 1983.
Via: KEYE TV:
A mysterious mass death of a herd of cattle has prompted a federal investigation in Central Texas.
Preliminary test results are blaming the deaths on the grass the cows were eating when they got sick.
The cows dropped dead several weeks ago on a ranch in Elgin, just east of Austin.
Jerry Abel opens the gate on his 80-acre ranch in Elgin, walking on a field of grass he’s been using for cattle grazing and hay for 15 years.
“This is it, a lot of leaf, it’s good, grass, tested high for protein – it should have been perfect,” said Abel.
The grass is a genetically modified form of Bermuda known as Tifton 85 which has been growing here for 15 years, feeding Abel’s 18 head of Corriente cattle. Corriente are used for team roping because of their small size and horns.

Dr. Gary Warner, an Elgin veterinarian who specializes in cattle, conducted the 15 necropsy. Preliminary tests revealed the Tifton 85 grass, which has been here for years, had suddenly started producing cyanide gas, poisoning the cattle.
“Coming off the drought that we had the last two years, we’re concerned it was a combination of events that led us to this,” said Warner. “The problem is, we don’t know, and there needs to be some caution exercised until we know more about the situation.”
two words: the happening. ?!?!?!
(it wasn’t even a good movie…)
if this caught your interest the very confused and much debased field of radionics could be worth a look. probably the least woo-woo stuff i can find quickly is “primary perception” and some other psionics studies. psionic i think doesnt refer to anything anymore, outside of fiction, tho there are always questions to ask when the cia is involved.
